What is that i am passionate about?like really?i am the kind of person who when i get passionate about something,i can defend it with my life.So what am i passionate about at this point of my life?I care about giving.I wanna make a difference in the world around me.How?I have advised myself time and time again only i have never started and it hits me I will have me to be embarrassed at,on my death bed as I reminisce on the difference I would have made if only I had taken the step.
I am scared.Nothing new.Fear never accomplished anything though so clearly I'm in the wrong camp.So,how do I get out?By taking a step of faith.By taking action.By doing something.It may not seem as much now but Rome was not built in one day.I have a dream.A dream to impact the youth in my country and ultimately the world over.I have all these ideas that I think are great but as long as they do not say the light of day,they are as good as dead.I'm starting to think God will stop giving me all these great ideas and start giving them to someone who will actually do something about them.I do not want that.I know I have what it takes.Act is all I need to do.Face fear in the face and smile as I walk past it.
There was a girl who said she was thinking of committing suicide because her boyfriend had left her.Haven't we all been there?At the point where a relationship died and we felt like we have died with it?The point we felt like the sun would never rise again or we would never be able to smile again?And for the ladies,we shed tears(at least for those of us who are highly emotional) and we never thought that our eyes would dry up?I mean,we have all been at this valley.When someone we would have 'caught a grenade for' just walked out of our lives,either because of a mistake we felt we could work through or without an explanation whatsoever.And we mourned.And we did a lot of things that now we look back at and laugh.Because we are now either married to our soul mates or going out with the most awesome person ever and you wonder why you spent all that time mourning?But mourning is good.I think it's healthy,just don't let the emotions get the best of you because emotional decisions rarely bear good fruits.
There is a quote that says,'don't cry coz it ended,smile coz it happened,'but it is difficult right?To smile in the midst of a heart break?Well,i think whoever came up with this is one of those people who look at the glass as half full instead of half empty.Admit that you will miss the person and the moments you shared and be honest enough with yourself to know you will never share what you did with anyone else.Be grateful for the good times and have Karen's attitude,from Big brother Amplified,that people are always somewhere for a reason and a season and when both run their race,not even tears can bring them back.It is not easy but it all starts from the mind.The attitudes that you have towards life.What is that they say,'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?'And does not feel like that at the moment of the end of something beautiful but hey every exit is an entrance to somewhere,so smile.You can shed a few or a lot of tears,but don't let them drain you.Pick yourself up and remember your worth and happiness are not tied to any specific person other than yourself.Do not allow someone to stop your life while theirs is continue.Let go as soon as you can,it's a favor to yourself then move on.
I like how,at times I start writing on one thing and end up with a totally different story.I guess writing is one of my passions.But honestly,I will think and pray about it and I will let you know what I come up with in terms of my humanitarian efforts are concerned.
Ciao.
