DO SOMETHING!

We have all heard the saying right? "procastination is a thief of time" but oh how I seem to procastinate all the time.
For starters, I came up with this blog a couple of months ago and up until today, I have been putting off attempting to write anything.
Today, I have resolved to fight procastination. I have decided to not let my time be stolen by ME!
I have so many ideas, so many dreams and every time I decide to dream further instead of doing something about my dreams, I am doing myself a deservice. Furthermore, time has not stopped once for me to catch up with it.
Lately, my life has been going through a lot of changes; more responsibilities, more travel and thus the need to live out my dreams, to take action and to keep my word has become more important.
Further to that, I believe, I am a change agent and if I am gonna see change in my community, country and continent, I need to be active, I need to act more and talk less. I resolve to be the change I want to see!Procastination has no room anymore!
Last week I participated in a women leadership training in Tanzania and there I heard the story of the humming bird. The humming bird lived in a forest with much bigger animals like elephants and lions. The humming bird is a small bird. One day, the forest caught on fire!All the animals panicked, they ran away and watched from afar as their home got destroyed by the flames. But the humming bird decided to do something. Quickly, it flew to the nearest river, got a drop of water and blew it onto the fire. It continued to do this while other bigger animals just watched. Then ofcourse, the other animals tried to discourage it, citing the fact that it was too small, the fire was too big, the usual negativity. The humming bird said "I am doing the best I can" and continued its work.
I have found myself in the position of the bigger animals so many times. I may see a problem, think how big it is, how I can not manage to do anything about it until I manage to convince myself to just sit and watch.
However, I have realized, I may not change the world in a day but I can touch a life at a time, I can offer my time and my resources. What matters is I am doing something! If we all resolved to light a candle in each of our corners, I am positive the world would have light!Alot of light!


By the end of it all, my prayer is;
God forbid that I die inwardly before my physical death. Lord I pray for eternal dissatisfaction with where I am at. May my horizons always stretch beyond the skies, beyond who I am, what I have accomplished for myself and in my service to others. Give me eternal vision...
