Be Delibrate

I had an amazing chat with my husband while in bed last night, it was really amazing and I thought I should share. We do this from time to time, he's a pretty good speaker, orator, adviser but he doesn't know it. Therefore, I will be writing on his behalf......


A lot of us live life, love life, enjoy life etc (myself included), but are we really living. we live life casually, unconsciously, and carelessly without even knowing. only for us to discover few years down the line how nothing has worked, how other people are better achieved and successful, then bitterness sets in, we get angry, we start thinking alot leading to stress and high or low blood pressure, we start hating forgeting we could have handled the situation better in the past.

There was an illustration of the football games, in which there are four sets of people: the spectators (cheerers, supporters club, clappers, screamers), the players themselves who play for glory (accolades), the money makers (the club owners, the ticket sellers, the thieves the people who are not interested in the game but profits a lot more, the vendors at the stadium), the observers (journalists, analysts, historians etc).

All this groups of people are the same stadium, for the same game but for different purposes and would definitely achieve different results, they will all be happy but some will be shortlived compared to the other.

Another illustration was from the movie 'percy jackson the lightening thief', where they went to a casino in Las Vegas, and were eating the Lotus Flower, this is a real life scenerio, people get stuck in the supposed sweetness of life, remember the servers werent eating it, the people who produced it werent eating it, the sellers making money from it werent eating it, Why?, because they know the implications, they know the content, you eat and get stuck for life.

We must be delibrate and consious about our every move, we will make mistakes from time to time, but it is easier to correct your mistakes when you are conscious, Billionaires host parties, spend milions of Dollars, we all think they are stupid or wasteful, I can assure you no one becomes a billionaire having a wasteful mentality, they are certainly doing that for a purpose or a gain.

There is a thin line between getting it right and everything going wrong. Be careful, what you do with your Time, Money, Strength and other resources available to you,  Its easy to be carefree and careless but also realize that there are people out there who are goal getter, ambitious, talented, whom you are competing against in the race of Life

Enjoyment should come in the form of celebration and celebration would happen after successful achievements.
