Wow, it is the
beginning of the second half of the year; I just moved house and most of you
would notice that I have not updated my blog recently. I have just been
thinking and I have recently thought about what life is all about and I have
decided to share my thoughts with my readers. What is life? Why are we here? Why do things happen? What would people say
about me when I’m gone? Mind you I’m
only 26 years. I’m just 26 years does not mean I’m too young to die; I only
live by God’s Grace. Last month I was shaken by the tragedy that struck
Nigeria, The Dana air plane crush. This tragedy affected many people one way or
the other; I had someone on that flight that went to the same university I
attended and another person who was to resume September for his final year at the
same university. I have friends whose uncle died in that crush and others whose
Pastor was on that plane.
There was a particular
girl on that flight, Irene she was just 21years, people wrote about her on
facebook, also a vigil was done in her honour at GVC in Nottingham. People wrote
so many nice and lovely things about her, how she went to a charity in Ghana
and helped the orphans, how she helped to pay someone’s school and living expenses.
I don’t know her but at just 21 years that was a great accomplishment; she
automatically became an inspiration to me. I thought to myself “If anything happens to me
today what would people say about me” Do I really have friends that would say
nice things about me? Have I done
anything nice to anyone? Am I living or just existing? What about charity? Do I do anything for charity?
What are my achievements? Have I touched anyone’s life in my 26 years of
existence? It made me sad because I don’t
have answers to most of the questions I asked myself.
The other day, I
wrote one my BB what is life really about?
Do I do things to please people or do I please myself. Why do I work for an organisation? Why not
start my own business? Why are things in a certain way, why can’t they be in
the other way? Then someone suggested a
particular book. But I don’t believe the book was the answer, it is about
thinking and asking God to show or direct me to my purpose in Life. I have been
inspired by so many people, I have watched so many inspirational movies and
read so many inspirational books but after all these, there are still questions
unanswered.
I started
blogging about three months ago and it had been something I have wanted to do
for a very long time because I love keeping up with current affairs especially celebrity
and gossip columns. For the past few weeks, the energy wasn’t there anymore to
do it, and I thought to myself instead to investing my precious time on gossip
and celebrity columns, why not think of other things like inspiring people,
thinking of what I can invest in or how to start my own business (which by God’s
Grace it would be sooner than I anticipated).
I just want to tell
people that there is more to life than work, family and friends. We need to just take it slow sometimes and
think of what we want and what will make us happy. We need to live a meaningful life and to
achieve that we need to ask God for direction and guidance. Do not live on
regrets, apologize when wrong and above all do things for others in need.
Just last week Nora Ephron died, she was an award winning screen-writer whose credit include “When Harry met Sally”
and “Sleeplessness in Seattle” which are one of the best movies I have ever
watched. I read an extract from one of her
books, MY 21 TIPS FOR LIFE
The whole point of this letter is to
inspire myself and others reading my blog. Make your law and stick by it, get a
journal write about your day, it releases stress and tension. Pour your heart
out to someone who cares, it’s good for the brain and body. Most importantly be
happy, aspire, share, forgive, repent, help, be inspirational, achieve, travel
the world, draw closer to your creator, live and not just exist, be prayerful
because prayer is the MASTER KEY.
Life is a journey, it is precious, It’s not
ours, we are only privilege to have it. I want to live life and reach out to
people on this journey, love myself because if I don’t, no one will.
HAPPY NEW MONTH.
I’m not a good writer but I try.
