Sometime ago in a distant
past, I was a child.
As a child, I played games
with other children. We built houses with mud, we formed tricycles with coke
clovers, we formed aeroplane with sheets of paper and did all those things that
children do because they hoped that one day, they would actually own such
devices or equipment.
As a child, I did not like
to see people suffer, I wished I was the President of the Country so that I can
end all that suffering. I did not like to see people get hurt or sick, infact I
used to imagine myself as a Medical Doctor attending to the needs of the sick
and hurt. I also did not like to see people suffering humiliation and being
helpless, I wished to be a kind of spokesperson for such individuals, a kind of
voice for the voiceless.
Growing up was fun really
because I wished I was many things, I wished I owned the biggest car in town, I
wished I owned my own aeroplane, I wished I travelled to the Moon, I wished I
had many things and that I affected people's lives positively.
Childhood is the period to
live in the "wish land". It's a dream land where all things are
possible.
However, as I got older
and reality dawned on me to the effect that while it is possible to achieve all
that one dreamed of as a Child living in the "wish land", the
practicality of existence tend to limit us to those things that we actually
give utmost attention to since it is practically impossible for one to be
EVERTYHING in one life time.
So in the course of my
years, I have had opportunities to see some of my childhood wishes come true. I
have worked hard to see them through and God has been there with me all the way
and I am still working on some of them to see them through too with time.
I am writing this so that
you, my friend would also take a look into the past and see if the dreams you
had as a child have come to pass or if they are still hovering above you.
And if they have not come
to pass, are you really working hard to see them through or are you allowing
them to keep hovering above and over you hoping that one day, they shall come
to pass?
It is good to have a wish,
but it is better to have that wish come true and it is only by acting on that
wish that would make it come through.
Today, do an introspective
analysis of yourself and let me know, if you are on the road to achieving your
wishes or if you are still stuck in the "wish land" and together we
shall work on that.
I am expecting to read
your comments here and while doing that, I pray that Providence would smile on
you today and lead you to that which you have always wished for but which has
seemed like a mirage.
