Living Life : It is Time

It is time for you to take matters into your own hands. Today, it is time for you to decide that the future is a figment of your imagination – waiting for you to create it, believe in it and make it happen. Now, it is time for you to shape that future, exactly the way you want it. Yes, the time is now, not this afternoon, not tomorrow, not next year, not when you can afford, not when your problems have gone away (they never – only that each has its own solution). These are just excuses. The time in NOW! It is time to realize, that God wants you to prosper. It is time for you to know that you have a talent, a hobby, a wish or a desire and only you can search for it, find it, aspire to be it and achieve great things with it. God helps those who help themselves. It is time to ask yourself, “How can God help me today?” It is time for you to learn that when you say ‘God help me…’ the words after that should be crystal clear in your mind. They should be incised into your brain so hard that they come to you as easily as breathing. It is time for you to know that tomorrow will not take care of itself. Today, the sun will set, tomorrow the sun will rise. God will give you life, energy, time and space. What will you do with all this abundance? It is time, to take care of your life; tomorrow while you are still living today, because tomorrow never really comes. It is always today, everyday of the week, every month of the year, always, “How are you today?” It is time for you to try, and fail and try and fail and try and fail until you try and succeed. If you fail once or twice or thrice, it is not the end of the world! It is just experience! All the people who move around with loads and loads of experience are usually the most sought after people in jobs, in sports, in anything where people have to compete for anything. Yet because of this experience they have tried and failed so many times and hence have a better chance of succeeding. So if you fear to try because you fear to fail, then you will never have experience. So it is time for you to try.It is time for you to experiment. How will you learn new ways of doing things if you don’t try new things? It is time for you to discover new ways of doing things better instead of copying old things that have worked before all your life, as if you are just a carbon copy of everyone else. It is time to find out what makes you ‘you.’ That is why on you have your DNA, and not anyone else’s. It is time to define your path in life, distinguish yourself from everyone else, to put more meaning into that, your name, so that when people hear it they think of something, some idea, some trend, something different. Ke Nako! This is the time, not just for Africa. This is your time. kelviod@yahoo.com
