CHANGE IS: BUILDING OUR DREAMS

Dear All,

HOW DO WE GET STARTED?

God has given us our country as a cradle and Humanity as mother; we cannot rightly appreciate the cradle without embracing humanity its mother. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, German Poet and Novelist said and I quote: “Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think it again…”

I think we can get started by the insight from Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. It is a beginning point. Somebody somewhere and sometime had that thought you now carry but perhaps due to one reason or the other couldn’t take the seed beyond conception. What need be done is more than conceptualizing it. We put a limit to what we will do, when we put a limit to what we can do.

Let us embrace CHANGE; and Swap Criticisms for an ERA of “WHAT WE CAN DO”. We all have put on HOLD what we can do. We have been carried away with “If I was… Had I known…..I WOULD HAVE….

Permit me to humbly inspire all to start something now? Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart. Every new idea is impossibility until it is born. You have to hatch IDEAS; Hitch them; and transform these into REALITIES. Thoughts stems out of our thoughts and these thoughts are the organizing factors in man.

You are what you think; you are what you go for and you are what you do. If you consider this TRUE, then it is time to have a turning point from those things that portrays you in a different light other than what you are. Winning starts from beginning.

We are called to rise above our Human circumstances, not allowing our environment to suppress our irrepressible Human Spirit, our dignity and our sense of worth. We owe ourselves the duty first to cause CHANGE; the duty to uphold DIGNITY; and not to accept poverty as given, as a permanent feature of life.

Emotions do not determine what we can achieve but our NATURAL ENDOWMENTS and our determination to explore these. We can spend our time in the TASKS before us trusting that the right performance of these hours and moments are the beginning of a better tomorrow; a best preparation for the years that follow it.

Like the German proverbs that says:
“Grow where you are planted; begin to weave and God will give the Thread”.
Impliedly, Providence has a part! We are Purposeful. We have our parts. We will do our parts; and God will bless our efforts.

Let us begin from where we are now and ignite CHANGE. Inspire CHANGE. It is attainable and we can do it!

God bless you all.
