When we are confronted by unpleasant situations, most of us especially in Africa, always have excuses why we cannot do anything about them and these are genuine. However, like I have often said from my own experience, we will die regretting if we wait for the right conditions for us to do whatever we can to make the situation better, even if it is just to make it slightly better. There should be no feeling as good as putting in your best to make someone or something better even if your contribution does not completely accomplish the desired change. No effort is wasted, if the change does not occur physically, it will help to at least help change the perspective of people about it. Being an agent of change does not make you a magician, it just means that you can add value to situations in a way that can make the crooked paths become totally or partially straight. Many think that if you cannot effect immediate and complete change, you should not bother. The good news is that no one living under the sun has the power to effect that kind of change. The most important thing in life is to always live with the perspective that you have the ability to add value to anyone or any situation at any given time irrespective of our ever present human limitations. With that kind of attitude, you will always find opportunities where others are seeing only excuses. You do not have to wait for someone to play their part before you do something that you can about an issue, just do what you can and you will always look back no matter how it turns out and say "at least ...I tried". This the only way to avoid the regrets of "I should have", "I could have" and "I would have" Enjoy a great day!
