I will break
what about you?
My friends who read
this will definitely know this is not the usual pattern my write ups take. I
love writing poems, think up ideas, and execute them. May be that’s why they call
me “activation
mama”. But these past few days have been different. I sit by my system
at work and I feel that there could be more to my life or should I say our lives
than this. Maybe my recent discomfort is a resultant effect of Michael
Stampley’s songs that I have been listening to, but trust me, I have
been more discomforted that ever.
I will reveal my daily
activities for some weeks now so you will see where I’m coming from. For some
days now, this is what I have been doing: WARNING
(you should keep this a secret). I know that the best way to spread ones gist
is to tell the person you are telling it is a secret. This is my secret (I hope
you will be able to keep it)
I
don’t read anything new about things that inspire me toward greater
accomplishment, my job, career development, I barely relate with people or
attend social functions. I wake up late on work days leave my house 7:30 for
work (given the fact that the distance from my house to my office is just a
30mins drive). I eat late, don’t complete personal project and fail to meet
deadlines. If I ever go to church on a Sunday and I do not sleep all through the
sermon, I’ll most definitely ping, tweet or chat my way through with my Palasa phone of 20k, hang
out with the wrong set of peeps........( I hope you don’t see yourself in this
mirror) the list of my newly developed habit is endless, i tell you! I Know
what you are thinking ohhhhhhhh (so that is what you have been doing abi?)------------------this
retrospection is just doing it for me.
If you like go and
tell people you know, but be sure I will hear—as they say in my language walls
have ears---------- (ogri leti)
#my motive of writing nevertheless
is not to get my reader worried about my trouble or discomfort (cos
you know fit use panadol for another person headache) but to make you
feel discomforted as I am YES. #I can say it again and again MAKE YOU FEEL
DICOMFORTED, JUST LIKE I AM.
I don’t know what you
are thinking but trust me; one question I’ve not stopped to ask universally is
this: the scripture says we have this treasure hidden in earthen
vessel! Then who is the vessel, where are the treasure? It is either
you don’t know you are the earthen vessel with the treasure or you cannot
fathom carrying anything speak less of treasure. ---------- May be its because
we are used to carrying our phone, Tabs, car keys Gucci bags , 25carat gold
wrist watches and the likes; so we cannot see or do not look deeper for better treasures.
I am downright not a
motivational orator and so you should know what I am write is not to motivate
you. It’s no self talk, or one of those self help things they ask you to do. 10
steps to greatness, 20 ways to become who you want to be, daily guide to
unlimited success and the likes. You know them abi?– I see you nodding and
mentioning the best seller now......hmm nawa oo you self don read die!
Anyways
like my colleagues would say a diehard will always be a die hard. Still I feel there
is more to my life than been a diehard at my regular to do list that never
changes day in day out. Something in me tells me change will change me even
when I do not realize I have been changed.
So before I get ‘changed’,
I advice that I change (change could be positive or negative remember).
The feeling might not
be mutual at this point for you. Without reservation we all get to the point
when we say I AM TRIED OF THE STATUOS QUO, IT HAS GOT TO BE MORE THAN THIS!–
then we become desperate to do better things for ourselves, lives, families,
communities, friends, and nation. At least one of my oga don talk say self government, na the best form of
government to top am he come talk say we be the government.
I submit at this point to go back to the
drawing board of my life. Re-plan, Re-strategies, Re-activate and start been
who that I was designed to be. I resolve to break the earthen vessel and allow
the treasure flow out. What about you?
