Dead man walking

Dead man walking

Have you ever attended a burial and just before the coffin is lowered into mother earth, you hear a knock from the coffin and the dead man saying something like this: “hold on, don’t leave me here”. My guess is as good as yours, the next thing that will happen is that your legs will take an automatic decision by moving so fast that you will most likely lose some pounds.

Let me give you symptoms so to know whether you are a dead man walking or not.

• People become a problem to avoid
• Decisions become a job and not fun
• You are always thinking about retiring even you start working
• No peace
• Your health status is reading red

These are just a part of the whole, you can add more to them if you like. The next time the above symptoms are noticeable in your life you need to know that suffering will change but not for the better so you better wake up.

So ask yourself these questions and write them down:

1. What dispels  or appeals to me
2. Who are my circle of influence
3. Where is my final destination
4. Can I just stop and take a peek of my life

A person who can look farther back can look farther ahead.  Take stock of your life, career, finance, emotional bank account, health, relationships and God. Are you were you were meant to be or are you just lagging behind. These questions are necessary to help you become a driver and not just a passenger for your own destiny.

Self awareness will let you know that everybody have got flaws but by understanding your flaws and then flushing out your many weakness, you live a life of impact , purpose, true respect for one another and regard to God.

There are any people who are already dead but are still walking, it’s just a matter of time and we will find them in their graveyard: frustration, sadness, guilt, discomfort, failure and setbacks.

Stand up today and tell yourself that “I am a new born baby of hope and future and I have buried the past. Though I have been dead and walking now I am alive and running to just achieve one thing i.e. purpose”

Have a great life.

iI MADE A MISTAKE...SO WHAT

I made mistake… so what??????

I sat down with one of my friends who was raped and has had to have two extra years in the university because she had to take care of the baby. I asked her what has kept her going and she answered that, “I made a mistake... so what?” that got me humbled.

So have you lost your something so precious to you that you have just lost hope about everything in this life? Is that job not forthcoming because you know that deep within you are qualified for that job? Is your marriage not working? Are things just in a standstill in your life? So what?, you haven’t gotten what you want , does that mean that you are now at the end of the rope?

Don’t try to be too strong for yourself. There is a level at which you can bottle up issues in a bottle, but the day the lid is open, it’s always like an explosion. So, If you are sad, if the best thing that can heal you is to sing, dance, rap, write (like I am doing) or even cry, please do what will make you heal up. What can heal you can be awkward but face that failure again and tell yourself that I won’t give up now, because I am almost there. Take a piece of paper and write out all the things that you are not pleased about and burn it. Start your own self healing. Talk to yourself and remember the good things you have experienced in life.

You will never heal up fast, if you don’t ask yourself that question; I made a mistake… so what???

Enjoy your life
