A Week From Today

It’s amazing how time flies. I wonder how it does it. Without any notice, maybe or maybe not, you see the changing scenes it presents. Slow but sure, as some call it, but I guess that’s how it was made.

I was lying on my bed recounting the days into the new year, and realised it’s been a wonderful trip already. If you agree with me, give your neighbour a high five. For those who do not seem to figure out the direction which the year is heading, come over and let’s have a chat.

Anyway, we just entered a new month, with hopes and dreams still ringing deep within. We just can’t wait for the fulfillment this year has for us or better still, what we really want to see this year. However, as I began to think through the last month, my memory opened a sensational moment in my life. I yelled in my thoughts, “No way! it’s a week from today?!” Was I dreaming? I think I was but then had to wake up to reality. “Wow, time really flies indeed” I sighed.

A week from today, was the rebirth of my destiny. A true call that cannot be hidden. It was filled with suspense yet purpose, anxiety but peace; disorder but success. I had no idea what was going to happen. I had all possible reasons to say NO! but in that noise, there was no turning back. As a man, I had my calculations drawn in my head. My thoughts were jammed, all because of a major step I had to take. If you care to ask, the probability of my success couldn’t be determined.

My eyes were wide open to this call, however, there were some doubts lurking like soldiers on an ambush. “Is this a good course?” I asked. Before I stepped into destiny, thank God for courage, I put measures to prevent me from turning back. There was no way I could back off because I battled with previous nights, and that was enough evidence that this journey was sure. Even if the results yielded the unexpected, the decision to make this step was worth it.

A week from today, I totally met change. A change that can’t be described with mere words but groanings and mind gestures. A feeling of deep satisfaction and comfort that had no limit. An indepth of value and compassion. The very definition of success in my words. A true sense of beauty and elegance, I will never forget. As it was time for me to open the door to destiny, I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, the breath of breaths if I should call it. I believe it took me through the hallway of this never-going-back path. Then I finally reached the last step — the judges seat. It was time to hear my verdict. The feeling was like ice running through my veins yet my sweat pores were active just like a water distillery. My mind couldn’t capture what I’d just done. Unbelievable. It’s all over now. I can’t hide no more. I felt like a black dot on a white sheet of paper, exposed beyond doubt.

Then my verdict was made clear. The results came out like a new born baby — so cute and innocent (LOL. I had to add that). Destiny responded to destiny. It was a soothing experience. A relief that cannot be compared or measured with any instrument. “Whoa! that was a close one.” I whispered. Now I can go home in peace and continue destiny. A week from today was the dawning of my true self and image. I will never forget!
