CREATE YOUR OWN TABLE
Am hoping you enjoyed your Christmas and you cant wait to cross over to 2019 just as i am eagerly waiting on this end. so much has transpired this year and am well aware you have had your high and low moments of the year, they were times you wished the planet earth would just open and consume you alive and there those times you felt you were walking on the sky. The ups and downs of life is what make you and me appreciate every season of life and learn to be grateful . Have the changing seasons molded you into a better person who is ready to face 2019 with valor and audacity ? Hours will always turn into days, days into weeks, weeks into months and months into a year but if you are never discerning and intuitive enough to learn from the moments and circumstances that come with the passing time, you are prone to last in a city of stagnation.
Pull your chair and lets get to brainstorm on this ! How many times have you forced your self to belong somewhere you know very well you don't belong ? How many times have you done things in a certain way just to please people and not necessarily because you wanted to do them that way ? How many times have you dressed in a certain way in order to belong somewhere and not because you want to look smart and elegant ?How many times have you kept people in your life not because you feel naturally attracted to them and being around them gives you peace of mind but because you fear what might materialize with losing them. How many times have you felt repugnant for your dark skin just because light skin trends as quintessential and superlative beauty ? How many times have you thrown into the towel your way of getting things done excellently just because you want to do them like someone else you consider has it all together? keep the answers to yourself as you try to reflect on how any of the above has placed you in chains of forgotten liberation for self.
The society had taught us that when we find something being done in a certain way, we have to keep doing it that style just because it worked for those who lived before us, even if it worked for them,does it mean it can also work for us? Did you know that there is no difference between you , and people from other tribes? The only difference comes in with what each tribe was meant to believe how things work and how one is supposed to live as per those who lived earlier.
Many people have been confined to what the society has defined them to be and because of this, they don't step out to just identify the potential in them. Are you one of those people who has suffered identity just because of what all and sundry portray life to be? When God created you, He had a special purpose for you and that purpose can never be like some else's purpose, that is why you just can't fit in, your purpose is meant to make you stand out, when all your friends are Good at singing and you can't sing as well as they do, stop forcing your self to fit in when you don't have the voice, identify what out stands in you and do it, if its dancing, do it to your very best. When God gives you a gift , He wants you to use it where it can bless and touch other people lives. When all your colleagues can model very well yet you seem not to have the moves, don't force it, just find out what God has placed in you that you can also do without struggling. Am one person who is talented in public speaking and since I know that its what out stands in me, you will never find me in a singing group or better any social group that doesn't allow me to me to be me.
As you cross over to 2019, make it your Agenda to create a table that will allow you be you and do your best instead of forcing a seat on a table you don't belong, this table may be gaming, empowering vulnerable people, praying, singing , public speaking, modelling, business acumen among others, find out what works for you and do it, just because your sister, brother or friend can do arts doesn't mean you can also do arts.Create your table and bring about chairs that fit the table, this are people who have the same passion for what you do.
I wish you superb and blessed 2019. I love you and 2019 is not for resolutions but for adjustments.
Great work dr...keep it up
