CYCLE OF DEEDS

I have always loved the story of Winston Churchill and Fleming. Once upon a time, this poor farmer was off to his farms when he came across a drowning boy. Swiftly he jumped in and saved his life. Days later; the farmer had an unfamiliar visitor. This wealthy noble had come to thank the farmer for saving his son’s life. While the noble talked to the farmer, he noticed a boy feeding the hens.

“Is that your son?” the noble asked.

“Yes sir, that is my son,” the farmer replied.

“A boy like that should be in school.” the noble said.

So the noble decided he was going to send the farmer’s boy to school alongside his own son. Years passed and the two boys became great men who left their names in history. Winston Churchill the noble’s son became prime minister. Years into his Adult life, he fell very ill and was dying. It was then his friend Alexander Fleming (the farmer’s son educated by Winston Churchill’s Dad) discovered the miracle pill(penicillin) which saved Churchill’s life. Alexander Fleming left his name in the books of time.

Life is like a machine. It keeps recycling the things we do. If we put evil into it, it will be recycled and multiplied. If we put good in it, it will be recycled and multiply. All we do in this world sets up a chain of events we sometimes do not realize. The abused child, who abuses and grows a kid who later abuses other kids. There is a cycle of good which can be interrupted by evil and there is a cycle of evil which can be interrupted by good.

As we live our lives, we should be conscious of the chain of events our actions will create. If you are a victim caught up in a cycle of evil, you have the power to break that cycle by doing the reverse. Do not recycle evil. Sometimes we have to let go and forgive whatever wrong was done to us so that evil is not recycled. Be a contributor to the cycle of good…Lets spread our hands across the world with little humane acts which go a long way…

Feed the good inside of you!

God Bless!

Stay You!

FACE OF CORRUPTION (THE FLIGHT) - LA FACE DE LA CORRUPTION (LA FUITE)

Two weekends ago, I was with a friend in her village for an event and I asked her about a friend of hers who was a top government official in the past administration, she said he was abroad. I told her that he was on the run and she seemed surprised but then she stared at me for a while and said no wonder he just came in briefly to drop his own contribution and left immediately.
There are various reasons why people relocate to other nations; some do so to escape problems in the society, some do so for professional reasons while others do so for a change in their environment. However, it is difficult for me to believe that politicians who relocate immediately after their tenures do so for any of these reasons. These are people who are supposed to be elder statesmen who should help in nation building by using the experience they had in office to mentor the upcoming leaders. Why do they choose to relocate if all is well with them? When you abuse the opportunity to serve, it continues to haunt you for life. It is a bid to remain relevant and escape all forms of justice that they do all they can to hold on to power. I always ask myself what it takes to be fulfilled and I always come up with the answer that all you need to do is make life better for others. When the reverse is the case you would go your grave pretending that you are happy while you are really burning in the hell of your greed and wickedness. This is what makes me passionate about what I do; as many youths as I come across should have the opportunity of having all the options clear before them before it comes to their turn. Right now what most of them have is the falsehood that there is no other way to life but these crooked ways that these office holders are shamelessly advertising. To avoid these forced flights, we must develop our love for service.

Il ya deux week-ends, je me trouvais avec une amie dans son village pour une cérémonie et je lui ai demandé d'apres une de ses amis qui était un haut responsable du gouvernement dans l'administration passé, elle a dit qu'il était à l'étranger. Je lui ai dit qu'il était en fuite et elle semblait surpris, mais alors elle me regardait pendant un moment et dit pas étonnant qu'il vient d'arriver brièvement pour déposer sa propre contribution et s'en allait immédiatement.
Il ya plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles les gens déménagent à d'autres nations; certains le font pour échapper aux problèmes de la société, certains le font pour des raisons professionnelles tandis que d'autres le font pour un changement dans leur environnement. Cependant, il est difficile pour moi de croire que les politiciens qui sont réinstallés immédiatement après leur mandat le font pour une de ces raisons. Ce sont des gens qui sont censés être des citoyens aînés, qui devrait contribuer à l'édification du pays en utilisant l'expérience qu'ils acquis pendat leur mandat pour encadrer les futurs dirigeants. Pourquoi choisissent-ils de déménager, si tout va bien avec eux? Lorsque vous abusez  la possibilité de servir, il continue à vous hanter pour tout leur vie. C'est pour demeurer pertinent et d'échapper à toutes les formes de la justice qu'ils font tout leur possible pour rester au pouvoir. Je me demande toujours ce qu'il faut pour être satisfait et je reviens toujours à la réponse que tout ce que vous devez faire est d'améliorer la vie des autres. Lorsque l'inverse est le cas, vous iriez à votre tombe en vous faisant semblant que vous êtes heureux alors que vous vous brûlez vraiment  dans l'enfer de votre cupidité et la méchanceté. Ceci est ce qui me rend passionné pour faire ce que je fais; beaucoup de jeunes que je rencontre devraient avoir la possibilité d'avoir toutes les options claires devant eux avant qu'il ne viennet à leur tour. En ce moment, ce que la plupart d'entre eux ont la fausseté qu'il n'y a pas d'autre moyen de la vie sauf ces chemins tortueux que ces dirigeants impudents donnent la publicité. Pour éviter ces fuites forcées, nous devons développer notre amour pour le service.

DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE TRACK

The most challenging thing for one to do in this life is to discover oneself. It takes a lot of courage to discover and accept oneself. If there is one strange thing I have seen in this world; is we always turn out to be exactly like the people we criticize, focus on or hate. Do you know why? The answer is simple. We master the mess of people so badly that we know nothing better than following in the same mess...

I once read this story of a lady called Jane who got out jogging in the morning. While she was jogging, Jane saw this lady jogging ahead of her. The ladies outfit was quite eccentric. Jane got so caught up in the ladies outfit that her mind got off her jogging. Before she could realize herself, she had jogged far pass her turn. Sadly, she realized her concern for the stranger's eccentric clothes had thrown her off course. The same applies to our daily lives. I realized sometimes how caught up in the life of others that I forget my goals, targets and sense of purpose.

How many times have; what people said, what people did not say, what people did, what people did not do, what people are going to do, what people believe, what people do not believe, swayed us from our goals and dreams. Was what, who and when you dropped you dreams and beliefs for worth it?

I love the runner Usain Bolt. I have watched him run a number of times and I think a great part of his success is focusing on the track. I watched him run once with a close opponent. They were almost at a tie just before reaching the finish line. Usain’s opponent made the mistake of losing sight of the track to see if his opponent was catching up and that was how Usain won.

Many at times; we are drawn in by depression, envy, hatred, low self esteem and other ills because we lose sight of our own race and get fixed on that of others. What is your race? Where are you going? What do you wish to achieve? Fix your focus on the track. Keep your mind on the prize…that’s how you win!

Love!

God bless you!

Stay you!
