The courage to do things we think we cannot do in life.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
What is it that you loved doing while, you were growing up. The other day I was watching my 4 year old son on his adventurous behavior in the house. It was very interesting for me to watch him, move around the house being Very enthusiastic and happy about anything.
Whatever he taught in the mind, he would make it happen immediately. Like now I watched him take the sofa set cushions and started building a house. Then he asked me daddy can you can and we sleep together in my house. You see me I know what is happening with him. In my mind I know this is not a house which he had built but he only playing.
Since I didn’t want to disappoint him, I would just accept reluctantly in order to play caring father attitude. But deep down in my heart I was asking myself, how is this kid seeing and imagining in his mind, is there a possibility that he is visualizing about the house or is something else.
Then intuitively I would think ok , the fact is we were created and empowered with creativity in our mind . this kid might be exercising creativity in his consciousness, so that whatever we can think of coming up it is possible that it will be manifested in our lives., in fact everything start with a thought . That is why this kid in his context. He has seen houses and in his mind would want to make one but unique according to his own caliber.
We are unique on our own.
I imagine if everyone would release his unique talents and skills and we stop living other people’s lives. Then this thing like competition and such like would not be experienced. We have this creation like competition existing because we have allowed it as a thought to dominate and everyone is accepting it as the truth but in essence is somebody who came up of with the idea of competition and sold to one another.
So when a child is born, he come full set to fulfill his innovation and creativity but as he grows and surrounded with people who have given up in life. We start teaching him our wrong philosophies and beliefs and since the mind absorbs anything, finally he ends up being like one of us. It is a rare case to find a kid who has grown up and start fighting against the beliefs he has been taught and he becomes on his own.
My journey.
I chose to be belief in myself since I was young and I will never want to be influenced by anyone at all. I would want to test something before I follow it and I will never follow something blindly at such. I don’t know how I came to find myself in that because mostly I have ever see many of my friend and those have associated with being influenced in one way or another. Am not boasting or trying to convince anyone that this is what happened because in some instance I have ever made a wrong choice which I came to regret later alone.
Accepting the price
What am trying to say is that, whatever decision had made, I had to be aware that am responsible for the outcome. For example I would take my studies serious against the wish of my peer group friends and the outcome was a benefited because I sailed and passed very well while in primary and also I didn’t choose to take my studies seriously while in secondary what happened is that I didn’t pass well. I chose to marry at a young age against the wish of my parent but what was the outcome, it is 3 years now since I married and am going strong. So what is the point here, being yourself doesn’t mean you are going to be right but it will give you an opportunity to exercise the choice we were given when created.
Paying your dues
When you know that it is you who made the decision you are not going to blame anyone but yourself. Consciously you are aware that I made this decision and have to live with it. When I made the decision to follow what am doing now which is blogging and writing and experiencing personal growth, many of my friends and even my wife never understood what kind of area I was venturing on to.
Because personal discovery is not common here in Africa and more sore where I come from Kenya. Personal development has been left to religion and it something practiced once a week, Saturday or Sunday depending on your religious affiliation and the day of worship. The decision I made is start I will pursue what my heart tells me and I will always try new things even if I fail. When I started blogging I didn’t know how to go about it, but I just began, right now the steps have gone I feel am growing. where I will be is unlimited.
