Meditations

there are so many things that as we grow we think they were not meant for us, we see them as stars that are so far away that we in our ordinary mortal form can never reach them.

through and through the years experience has taught me that nothing is impossible all you have to do is dream, dreams get us places, dreams gives us wings to fly over oceans and high mountains, dreams comfort us because it is with dreams that we really get to know what we are worth.

i have seen so many paradoxes in life: people who are poor and of meager earnings tend to have successful and happy marriages as compare to the rich and wealthy, a student who heads to school on an empty stomach tends to work hard at school that one who has it all, one can be extremely leaned but still lucks education and socially acceptable skills. its because of this that the world we live in offers each of us fairness and equity, and as the Good book of Evolution says; Survival is for the fittest as we all have equal opportunities to fully exploit our capabilities irrespective of gender, race, sex or religious orientations. the other strange thing about life is that we can all not be the same in any case even our fingers are not the same!!

Experience through many years of reading and observing has also taught me that you don't have to have the highest education in order to make it in life, determination, self confidence and focus is all you need in order to make it. school dropouts are millionaires in this country and strangely enough some are our leaders......


its is said of God that he is  Omnipotent and Omnipresent, the more reason that we should know that we all have a purpose in this life no one is here by default.

The world that we live in

its the beginning of the year and its only now that it dawns on me that this is all a cycle.
we begin the year celebrate Christmas then new year, and again back to january. it can get disheartening at times especially when we don't meet the targets for the previous year.

i don't make new year resolutions but in its place i create targets for myself and what i need to accomplish before the year rolls over. i have been blessed to have a perfect job, a perfect boss and the best work environment now my only target is to create wealth this year for posterity, i want to lead the life that i dream, the life that is above the one i was raised on, a life suitable and appropriate for my children, the life that will not bring suffering and sadness to those i leave behind but a celebration of life.

this above will be my personal prayer that i shall be remembered for operating above the status quo and making a change not only in the life of my family but to those close to me as well.

its a new year and i yearn to look at everything about me in a positive and fulfilling dimension.
this is us in the village. as usual the village life is linear: eat, talk and play at any time.

my young cousin is quite a character i just had to capture this: he's is the know it all type, noisy aggressive, foxy etc he has all the character traits of a great kid.
