The Intense Beam Light


An old Senegalese proverb says that opportunities that God sends do not wake up those who are asleep. All around us are opportunities to be all we dream to become, all we have to do is to be open to the possibilities, to the magic of such events. 

We have to always be vigilant, never sleeping, always be on alert and always look out for opportunities. And looking out for opportunities doesn't mean you go same route as everyone. Obviously you can follow whatever route you want but you might end up in the same place as a lot of other people. If it's a good place then you will share a lot of stuff but if it's a bad place, will it be cool by you to remain there? You have to think differently from everyone.

Hidden opportunities only reveal itself when it feels it's needed. Have you ever wondered when you have decided to get a new phone or a new dress or whatever you wanted, you immediately start noticing hundreds of that make? Where they there before now? It's just that you have not noticed them but once your attention is focused like a narrow beam of intense light, it grows them into sharp focus. 

All around us are opportunities to make life a better one. Just kick start.

But some of us are still asking for permission but sometimes you have to stop asking for permission, but give the world notice that you have been here, give the world notice that you have played politely long enough, and now it's time to play full out.

Practice To Be More

Image
“I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. The practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.” ― Martha Graham

Understanding Self-Worth Value

“We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.”― Malcolm X Knowing our Value or self-worth is an emotional subject, and often confused as to how to answer the question when asked.
