This afternoon, I was brooding over a lot of events that has happened in my life. Was taking stock of how my journey in life has been while sitted within the confines of my room. Yesterday, being 1st October 2015 marks the 55th year Nigeria gained her independence and we all know how the trend of events has been in this country ever since. See, this piece of writing is not about the complexity of Nigeria nor any of her complicated problems, rather my question today is directed to no one but you. Our country gained her independence long time ago and every 1st October, she reviews and reevaluates her budgets so as to know where she stands.
"Where are you?" is a rhetorical question that you don't just laugh over and give the first answer that comes to mind. You need to sit, sober reflect, contemplate and critically analyze the answer that comes to your mind. What have you achieved so far? What tremendous impact have you made in the lives of people around you? Are you independent? Are you taking up your responsibilities? Are you stricken by the serpent of indecision and keep procrastinating until tomorrow what you ought to have done today?
A man with one Watch knows what time it is but the one with two is never quite sure. When the mind is in doubt, it is easily swayed by slight impulses, opening the door to many wrong decisions.
Success in life favours only the bold. You don't allow the poisonous venom of indecision to rob you of your true position in life. Are you in your rightful place? Are you in the right position you ought to be? You need to understand the times and seasons. Don't fold your arms in the day for the night cometh when darkness takes its place and all you have to do is 'mere wishful thinking ', regretting why your arms were folded when the arms of others were swinging in hardwork.
On this 1st day of making a choice , you can still effect a change and join the moving train of vision -driven, goal -oriented, wisdom -gathering, knowledge -seeking and focused achievers, who see beyond now and here but are more concerned about what would be of them in years to come.
HAPPY NEW MONTH.
