The Point In Our Lives...

I believe there is a point in our lives when the aroma of our dreams and future goals fills our minds, and it’s like everything is happening fast. The future is near, like some of the things we imagined as young children were finally close to happening. First, you graduated high school, then got admitted into the University, matriculated, and now your graduation is visible.

At different stages in life, different things were priorities at those times. Some were realistic, others unrealistic. Some were “making sense” and some were just stupid and you look back to those times and ask yourself what you were thinking.

There was a time in your life all that mattered were food, parties and party packs. At another point it was looking good at school, getting accepted and being popular; keeping up with all the latest music, movies, celebrity gist and all sorts. Then you proceeded to date by all means because that is “the shii”.

But there is this very point that it dawns on you, you’re no longer a child, and you need to start getting your life pieces together. At this stage, some things don’t exactly matter…you start to think: I’m rounding up my degree soon, after this mini-universe, what is next?

The thoughts of establishing yourself set in. You start to wonder, what exactly do I want to do in life? How do I work towards getting this? You think of your future family. In general, you think of the quality of life you want. You have those big dreams and goals. How do you plan on realistically pursuing them and not just sitting down at the corner of your room, thinking and smiling?

This is the point where you drop those people who are not helping you. This is very straight forward. If they do not ask you about how you plan on achieving that great idea you brought up, even if they wake you up to read at night, are they worth it? Roll more with people that are equally working towards their dreams and goals; they will serve as motivation. And also people that will encourage you. This time, you don’t have space for junk friends.

You will face many difficulties and challenges. You will be told you’re not good enough; People will have you compared. But the difference between you and those who just think and smile is that you will not let yourself drown in the river of “pullbacks”, you will keep your head up high till you come out successful.

This point is a very sensitive part of your life. It is when the decisions you take make or break you. Make your choices carefully, above all seek the help of your Maker.
