…what
you see around you are not ordinary people, all of them are
extraordinary people living an ordinary life. Suppressed within each
and every one of them are dreams and abilities that can transform our
small wild world into a paradise of splendor and happiness. Yes, this
world is full of golden vessels, precious people. But what is
important is not the majesty without, but what the vessel embraces
deep within. That is why I say this to you, that in this life break
yourself and, please, let the one in you go. Don’t suppress your
self by failing to believe in yourself – and no-one can believe in
you till you do. Don’t persecute the dreams you have dreamt by day
and never despise the hope of life that your soul has embraced –
for dreams are maps of life sent to make life make sense, there is
always a light at the end of the tunnel. If your soul can still see
that light, follow that hope. For the heart knows further than the
eye has ever been.
When you
feel encroaching despair, remember these words for I have learnt them
and testify that they are true.
Dear,
dear, dear one
Look again
into your life and now never say you can’t
Laugh,
live on and dream to be great
It is the
aspirations of your heart
That will
set your talents free.
Through
the tough and the good times, the hailstorm and the sunshine – be
you at peace and face life expecting victory. For both good and bad,
love and hate, holy or evil have always been from the conception of
times, but neither has wiped off the human race. Those who have
chosen evil pass away like shadows that disappear when night comes,
but those who have chosen good are lights of time – they shine
bright through the darkness and by day the sun is their friend.
Nothing can destroy one who has made good a friend.
Now again
of the dreams you dream; beware with whom you share them. Some see
dreams foolish yet even life was born from the invisible. Some
despise our dreams, some fight and some steal them – all because
they wish they were sole dreamers and achievers. Dreams dear one, are
seeds of all achievement.
And I
also wish to assure, that I believe in you. I have not known you much
but I believe. You dreamt it, so you can do it. And no-one can see it
the way you saw it, or feel for it the way you do. And you too,
believe in yourself, for the God that you believe in also believes in
you. And remember, dreams don’t die – they are only forgotten.
Soon they surface to mind when our lifetime is spent and we begin to
regret. But even in such a state if you still breathing, your mission
is not over. Waste no-more time wallowing in the mud of regret asking
alms of pity, but rise up and fulfill the hopes that keep spurring
your heart.
I say
this because I am a dreamer too. I dream of a ministry that will
minister life to each and every soul on our cosmopolitan world and
bring happiness and true life for all. I dream of a united Africa,
and a non-orphan world…so much that I can’t tell it all without
taking your interest away.
I know
this has and still does demands much effort.
But as I
said, they are a making my life make sense.
Every
book that falls into my hands, each episode on screen contributes to
the fruition of my dreams, so I realize.
And over
years they become so close to you (if you embrace them) that they
show through your eyes, your voice and movement of your lips. Now
when you pass by people shall proclaim you “great”. They think
they see you, but it’s the aspirations you embrace within that are
shaping your values without.
However,
to dream is one thing to live is another.
Life is
tough. There are no opportunities you just have to make them,
sometimes.
And the
people who love you, can never love you enough.
And those
that wish you down are many.
So walk
circumspectly, not as a fool. Redeem the times for the days are evil.
Be as wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.
And let
the words of Christ dwell in you richly.
Only
therein shall you grow yourself unshakable, immovable and
everlasting.
Don’t
pretend. Neither imitate you anyone. Imitation is limitation. In
trying to be others we lose being ourselves, and fail to be others as
well. What will surprise this world is uniqueness, not uniformity.
Let the world see your uniqueness, the uniqueness of your endowments.
What you
do not understand ask. Whether they be matters of the heart or
matters of the spirit, all answers begin with questions. Neither
Wiseman nor fools are born learned. At twelve, our Lord Jesus was
known not for wise words but for asking questions. Ask, and you shall
seem a fool a short time – but be quiet and you shall remain a fool
forever. It is the questions you ask that really determine dreams you
shall make real. Success is when your life answers questions.
My
writing has been too long.
I wish to
write a special one talking about being the right one before meeting
one who is right. All I can say is the day you choose to love, is
just as important as the day were born. You can live and celebrate
everyday of it, or you can die and be forgotten for-ever - your
aspirations and abilities plunged into a mistaken institute of
despair. But that can be avoided and love can be real.
Write to
me, I wish to hear from you soon.
Your
friend
The Poet
