Sat at my desk on this chilly Saturday morning reviewing my goals and purpose life, i discovered an old gem. I started doing these life reviews about 4 years ago after reading the book "The 7 Habits of highly effective people" ( which i strongly recommend). I don't do it as often as i should but i can say with certainty that when we live life purposefully by starting with the end in mind it is the beginning of life itself.
I found an old piece of paper where i wrote a poem. My heavily distorted hand writing betrayed my frame of mind while writing it. From what i remember i wrote this in the fog of exhaustion and sleep depravity but yet I had just woken up. It was written at a very low point in my life, i faced a challenged that took away the most underrated but yet important thing in life ; it took away my peace of mind. At the point in my life It wasn't an oddity for me to wake up exhausted because I was so burdened that i would think and worry even in my sleep. If you can call that sleep. Times have changed now and thank God that period passed but I feel someone out there might benefit from reading it.
I feel the passing of time unlike any other point in my life,
the slow deliberate ticking of the clock, each tick indicating a loss
a loss of life, a loss of opportunities.
But yet in each second lays the realisation of the possibilities that accompany the next,
the infinite potential if only I could stand up and seize it
but yet I lie here paralysed by my fears, my doubts, my insecurities.
Yes i do know the path out
and it is true, that is half the battle
But it is a half no more useful without the other.
If i have to give it a title i would call it
Take Action.
Thanks for reading :)
