Life is love, Share it

I have always believed that there is always something that I can change anywhere, anytime or anyway. I’m always full of hope for better life tomorrow. One of the many things that I have struggled with has been learning how to put all my focus, attention, concentration, effort, effectiveness and belief into my hopes, desires and dreams. My aspiration to be a better man has always been hugely challenged by my unnecessary big-good for nothing ego and poor decision making. I have hugely paid for some of those mistakes.

For a long time I have been guided by fear despite my desire to have a life in which I make clear decisions in the most important areas and live my choices. I have always desired to live fully. Despite that, for a long time my thoughts on happiness and success were not serving me well. Come to think of it differently, the comfortable, happy, content and deeply satisfying life that you seek may not exist in reality. In some way, if you love your current comfort, it might not serve your tomorrow and there is a need for a change if it is what you seek. To me it works this way; “Every time I feel comfortable, I lose focus, concentration and attention on the bigger picture” Comfort cheats me into feeling accomplished but every time I look in the mirror I see an unfinished product.

Fighting to change the stuff that I hate in my life, I realized that I have always achieved minimal positive or mostly no results, then I realized that I have been the problem or the mistake that needed fixing and I need to change in all ways. I have deeply thought about myself and noticed I am vulnerable but extremely creative when on the edge. Crazy you might think right? Comfort, happiness and success are just illusions that may never become reality if I don’t change my perception.

I have decided to put myself on the edge to enjoy the flight or crush. I am very grateful to everyone that I have made a connection with. Every moment has either given me joy or pain, made me happy or sad but most importantly, I have learnt from it all. Thank you and sorry for the pain, dissatisfaction, embarrassment, shame, torture and the losses that I may have caused you. I pray that you keep putting your all in the decisions and choices that you make and that they may lead you to prosperity and not disparity.

Ikiwa Ipo — Kula Kunywa.”
