A Dance with Reality!!

Fact be known, I am a sucker for Mondays. Unlike many people, I look forward to this day. Well, you may try to enclose my enthusiasm in the 'He probably has no life' box. Oopsy, you are entirely wrong!! My weekends are often buzzing with self-nurturing activities. Anhu, reason why I love Mondays, is because they attest the fact that I wholly saw the weekend to completion and blessed to see the birth of an entirely new week. No Monday blues for me...hardly ever!!

The sweetness of life, is melted from the variety of cuisines it offers. Many people, having fallen victim to stereotyping, formalities and norms are accustomed to  singing in tune by grumbling and whining about that which they can change. Therefore, from my dance with Ms.Reality, this is what she whispered to my ear:

1. Do not blame traffic, simply blame your timing- this is unless you extremely left early, only to be hampered by an accident. 

2. When you take a public means of transport, you are actually being chauffeur driven. Question is, what do you do with the time you have. Assume you loose 2 hours daily on the road, that sums up to 480 hours annually, unaccounted for. Are you really that wealthy, that it hurts you not, thus you can sit back and do nothing!

3. Most tears, shed upon demise of someone we love, are mainly due to guilt. This is in relation to us not showing much love and appreciation while they were with us, rather than us missing them. If you have someone you value, LET THEM KNOW IT!!

4. Women are absurd, to think they can change a man, and similary, is a man to expect a woman to think or act like him. We are different, and that is what makes the world special. Embrace it, and run away with it.

5. When we state life is not fair, what else do we compare it to-Death? We should not grumble over what is beyond us, and simply make the best of our circumstances. If you complain about the weather, I wonder what you can do to change it. Aha, yet simply put you can change your attitude!

6. God, for those who believe in Him, gave us the most important tool in equal measure: TIME!! We all have 24 hours, thus stating you never have enough time, I wonder where you expect to get a top-up from!

7. There is nothing like killing time. Have you ever seen anyone stab it!!hmm.  All that happens is we loose life. Every minute lost, is a moment of life wasted. Life has no rehearsals. Knowing that in life, you either LEARN or EARN, then you may stop being stagnant.

8. Always be a first-rate version of yourself, other than a second-rate version of somebody else. Fact stands that you cannot please everyone you come across, some people will hate you just by the sight of you. Thus, do right, and make sure you live YOUR life best.

NB: If you always confess that your time is limited for you to live your life fully, why in all sanity, do you seek to live someone else's?

9. In life, we have more acquaintances than friends. Surprisingly, they hardly exceed 5, for majority. Therefore, when you come across a true friend.....-I believe you know what to do!

10. The fact that you may do good, and people don't appreciate it, or that your good deeds are often overshadowed by one bad deed upon its occurrence, it should not put you down. What you need to ensure, is that when others do good to you, let them know about it. Don't be what you despise!!
