ACCEPTANCE & REALITY

Sometimes when reality catches up with you, you stand and watch with your mouth open most especially if you never expected it to happen. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Now accepting reality sometimes can be very hard mostly if it has not gone our way. I honestly find that hard too but I have just realized is that the faster you accept it the faster the pains disappear. Facing the reality of losing a job, a child, partner and many other things that matter to us is not easy. Sometimes things just don’t work out as we wanted them to.

The accepting part can also be looked into two dimensions. The first one is accepting that some people like us while we don’t. Knowing that you are loved and cherished by someone you don’t can be very discomforting but we can’t make them stop. As a matter of fact, you also love people who don’t even waste time to look at you. Be proud that you are at least loved by somebody. Love is love. It doesn’t matter where it going or coming from. The second part is accepting no matter how you try, you can’t get what you want. Harding working pays but it’s not always.

This doesn’t mean that we should not work hard but if our success is against the odds, well, let’s accept and let it go. I have also come to understand over the years that sometimes we waste a lot of time trying to make something work when it can’t and in the end, we lose time and other opportunities. Had it been that the time and effort lost were invested in something else, things could have changed for the better.

Acceptance and reality are not easy but life has to go on with them.

  2. I agree that all too often we waste time trying to make something work. We need to accept the fact that some things are meant to be and somethings are not. I am going to follow you.

TRUST

TRUST “I just can’t believe that it was you all this time around. How could you do such a thing to me? You have betrayed me. You have let me down!” These could be the words of a man whose heart and trust have been broken by someone he/she trusted. Let us face it, it is hard to come to terms with the reality that the person we trusted with all we had betrayed us. In many cases, people we trust are the ones that betray us or let us down. Look at Peter who was the closest person to Jesus let him down by denying him, Judas plotted against him and handed him over his enemies, spouses cheating on their partners, husbands defiling their baby girls, leaders fails to fulfill their promises they made to their followers, men of God lying to their sheep’s. All these shows us that trust is always broken by the people who were suppose to protect and cover us. Cursed is a man who puts his trust in a man. Why is it so? Because men are, evil and they are filled with selfish ambitions and des...

SECRET ADMIRERS

For the past ten years i have had a privilege of standing in public and addressing people on various issues. It has been a very good experience. One thing that i have learnt is that people like to follow our actions than our words. I have also noted that we have lots and lots of secret admirers who are shaped by our actions. They rarely come in the open or speak to you directly. Silently they follow every move you make. They cannot find time to congratulate you, condole you or at least say something. You are either too busy to notice them or you just choose to ignore them. But little do we know how we inspire their lives, how we motivate them or challenge them. You don't have to be a super celebrity to have them, they are there watching you always. They are found in places you least expect them to be. Away from your family, school, work or church. Many people desire to be leaders. To have big crowds follow them, take instructions from them or respect them. But they forget this impo...

THE FALLEN HERO (R.I.P JACKO)

Just as there's a thin line between love and hate so is also true with life and death. You meet somebody today full of life, the next thing you will hear tomorrow is that the man is dead. Such is the truth about life. Just this year I have been shocked by death news. The first was my uncle who after working the whole day on his house (he was building) with his builders, felt ill the same day night and he died in early hours of the next day. This shocked me. How can a man who was full of life die like that? He never had any serious health problems to justify his sudden death. The second one was my own friend Nkasa (not Joseph Nkasa) who died less the same kind of death. Now the recent one being Micheal Jacko Jackson. His sudden death has not only shocked me as an individual but also the whole world. I had been a fan of Jacko for a long time. This guy was about to make a come back starting from 13 July 2009 which could have seen him going for a tour and he was about to have 50 conce...
