BLUE GRASS

Grass is expected to be green and it is actually supposed to be green. I mean no other colour, but green. Do you agree?
This is what society demands of us and we do not hesitate to meet its demands. There are laid down rules, which somehow draw a picture how society wants the future to be. There are patterns which we are to follow in order to attain the standards society has set for us, but, we have no idea what this does to us.
Our passion is cleared and our vision, blurred.
Our creativity sinks and so does our potentials and these guidelines from society changes our personality, we become different.
What if we lived in our own way? What if we followed our own patterns? What if we set our own goals?
This is when grass turns blue.
Too many of us move through our lives with our true selves buried below layers of repressed emotion.
With so much energy channeled towards attaining these standards society has set, there is little left over for the deeper questions.
Fine! The kind of people we want to become in future may not be society's favourite, but we should still become those people.
Fine! The kind of occupations we want also may not be society's favourite but we must do it anyway.
I believe the morals society gives is enough for us to make the right decisions and live the best life one could ever live. So, the rules do not make us better people it just changes who we are. Life is somewhat ours, therefore, factors like these have no place in it until we allow them to.
Do not be afraid to show who you really are because when grass turns blue, it is appreciated because it is unique, it is valued because it is extra ordinary and it is kept because it's scarce.
You may be a "blue grass", but you know what? You will be a pasture to many.
Make the claim today, that, "I AM THE AUTHORITY OF MY OWN LIFE AND I GET A SAY IN HOW IT UNFOLDS."

ARE WE THERE YET?

We crave for prosperity ,gender  equality ,freedom ,justice ,green pastures. We talk about each with  strong  force and anger ,but our attitude towards bringing all to reality is lackadaisical. Why is that so?. Are we waiting for someone to work on it for us? We haven't  reached our goals yet ,why have we relaxed? People still suffer ,others die because they don't have enough resources to survive and its now like we don't care anymore. We are comfortable with the current happenings because we want to be. We are just settling  for less. This is not the Africa I learnt about growing up. I know Africans wouldn't give up without a fight but here is the case nothing  similar  is being thought of. The fact that some leaders do not even believe in their people  and some people not  believing  in their leaders saddens my heart. What happened  to unity? What happened  to individual  prosperity?.Why is the rate of poverty ...

LITTLE DROPS OF HEAVEN

Clearly, there is heaven on earth. You want to know how I know? Well, there are times you feel alone, times you do something great without getting an applause, times you help better the lives of others and they end up being ungrateful, times you win by the skin of your teeth, yet you don't value your efforts. We obviously allow ourselves to feel that way because we expect too much. We were placed on earth for a purpose, so, we should do our best with happiness and pleasure. You know that great feeling you get when you do something you are into, or something that influences someone or something positively? yes! That feeling. I call it little drops of heaven. It doesn't come as a result of a comment or an applause or the number of people around you. You trigger that feeling with no external factors. Imagine you do something you love everyday, Imagine you work towards archiving something you long to posses, each day. Just imagine, have You?....little drops of heaven. Wel...

A PIECE OF BLACK

 I don’t know about other colors, but I know there should be a piece of black in all of us, just a piece. Without it, many people will suffer, others will starve, some might even die. Well, black here refers to all our negative attitudes. Yes! Our negative attitudes, and one of them is a piece, selfishness. We are drowning with people we are supposed to save, dying with people we are supposed to heal and crying with people we are supposed to cheer because we do not have a piece of black at that point. We are to first lay a good foundation for ourselves and later make ourselves better in order to help others reach their goals. Just like in an operating room, there are no guests or visitors allowed because the patient is going through transformation. If a house you are in catches fire to an extent, you find means of getting out then, you go for help for anyone in there, but if you try to save everyone at that point, chances are, you are all not going to make it. There are s...
