Destiny Catch Up

I shouldered the pillow away. My head comfortably on my hands; I turned to the wall. I wasn't there yet - I wanted a comfortable rest. After a busy night, all I wanted was to sleep. I, therefore, pulled the duvet to cover my head.  There, in the dark, I tried crossing my eyes even harder. The mind was still on. I had to surrender:  Hey, how is the clock ticking? How have you changed? How the world, too, is changing? Interestingly, how everyone must adopt.  (All this flashed in my mind in a second or two.). Yes, I have changed. Maybe to a quieter and more reserved individual. More calculative and determined. One stride at a time is what matters the most now – even if it means late sleep, early mornings, more 'lone' time. Yes, it feels like it – The right turn, speed, and focus. Ambition can only be its peak. Amazing persistence.  With the peace there is in silence, these changes are the costs of ambition . It goes to the extent of being misunderstood, appearing crazy,

For 35 minutes, I sat along the cemetery pathway. This time I had glasses. Then came this lady whom I had been watching from a distance. Though I ought to have consoled her, she held me by the shoulders and started; “…you get older, and you learn there is only one sentence and if you can say it to yourself it offers more comfort than almost any other; I am not going to live like this anymore! Some make that decision at 15, some at 25, others at 50 while most never make it. By this time, she sits by my right side. Then continues, “Life is generous to those who pursue their personal legend. One stroke at a time, everyone is intended to become the person they choose to become. Without gambling for the future, one should take control of their environment. However, look; there are certain times in our life when we don’t get to choose what happens. It’s tough to know when to accept your circumstances, and when to take the reigns and make a concerted effort to influence your life

Lots to go. Maybe halfway there. The goal is simple: Catching_Up. Soon! I loved the people I met, the things I learned, the stories I heard and equally told, Loved my new home-based office more. Despite the horrors, the good days, the just plain old weird days; still had lessons to carry forward: God is awesome! Whether you are on board or not, Life keeps on trucking along. I should probably just stay on board. Change is a chance! I branched out on my own. As to why I did it, as will be asked in my 60s', and a memory of my bold decision at Twenty_three,  here is an answer … “It was a strange feeling. More on my own, I wanted to experience the world. ‘How simple could it be’, ‘How hard could it be’, I always wondered. I am still learning. The work wasn’t boring; we did exciting things; we made two days old businesses look like a successful start up. We built an ecosystem and opened up to remote entrepreneurs. I just wanted to swim elsewhere.   Maybe

A beautiful picture was hanging squarely on the wall. From a distance, I took notes: How can we turn things around to begin living a life that is filled with well-being, meaning and fulfilment -- a life that does make sense?   The majority of the people in this world are living in a way that simply doesn't make sense.   We are a species that has lost its way. Well, what doesn’t make sense? Constantly thinking about the anxieties of your future. Living your life based on societies expectations. Being on a constant drive to be and acquire more:   “Bigger, better, more”. More wealth, more possessions, more power, more status. Greed!! Then, what makes sense? Finding pleasure in the little things. Within every single moment lies a gift for us to discover, and when we are present we can take what the moment provides us with, whereas when we aren't present we miss out on that beauty. Discovering who you are at your very essence. Giving your greatest

Just admit: to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life tiptoeing around. Trying to become someone else. You wanted to make a good impression with people. You wanted to make everyone like you. Well, you wanted everything to be easy and therefore sacrificed part of the truth, part of yourself for the sake of not stepping out of line. For too much of your life, you have hurt yourself. All this was as a result of worry. My friend – worry not – You’re a fisherman living alone along the coast You put your fishing pole down and sit at the water’s edge, No catch Worry not – Mum, Dad; your son/daughter was involved in a fatal accident Sister, you feel sick, you can’t have children of your own, betrayed in love, divorced Worry not – Employee, retrenchments all over and you are a victim Entrepreneur,  that tender dint come through, your partners kicked you out of the deal Hey Dude, you missed that interview, bro Worry not – Coach, Captain; Your

We build things and make things happen on our own terms: We are architects of our destiny(s). However, over the years, I put pieces of myself in every story and my perspective has shifted. Reflect about this; *The young man who had his life turned upside down by cancer. *The young woman, and mother of two, who lost her husband to death at 27. *The hard-working employee who lost her job when her employer of 25 years filed for bankruptcy. Life will take things from you, gradually & continuously. It's funny how we outgrow what we once thought we couldn't live without and then we fall in love with what we didn't even know we wanted. It's until later that you will realize and feel fully comfortable with some of the best chapters of your life. As they arise, do your best to embrace life's uncertainties. Inner strength & courage don't always ring out loud. Sometimes these qualities are merely embodied by a deep breath & a soft whis
