Here for a Season, With a Reason
In this world, we are here for a season but for a reason. Everyone here has a purpose and a goal to fulfil. From when we step in it to our sunset, every step we take and who we take it with, determines if we achieve our goal or not. Our loved ones, like car fuel keep us moving. Our friends, like bumps and corners, slow us when we move fast. Our enemies like like black spots make us careful. And God, like car tires keep us going.
However, not all goes as has been set to do.

Every other time we hit a roadblock. At that time, we are re programmed to understand that we are not alone. Just like us, everyone else around has a purpose to fulfil and sometimes our purposes kind of clash. But instead of giving up, we have to rise and try again. Here are few ways to do it.
What to Do
1.Have an alone Time: There comes a time when you have to take a break and re-examine yourself. It is a time to reflect if you are moving in the right direction. A time to listen to your higher calling,a time to re adjust and rejuvenate. Make sure to have a lone time once in a while
2. Keep Friends: Friends will walk with you to the ends of the earth and never complain. They are there to point you to the right direction,keep you from falling and hold you when you are down. Find real friends and the universe will dance with you.
3. Find your Purpose : The world is a big playing field,you can run throughout it and never score. In the end you exhaust your energy and miss out on opportunities. The beset way to know your purpose is to listen the God. Always His voice will point you to your true talent. In the cemetery is where one finds unfulfilled dreams,underutilized potentials and talents.
4. Have a Mentor: To go far stand on the shoulders of the giants,they will walk you miles. Always have someone to show you around,read about those who had same talent. They had problems probably but they did not give up.You will realize that the problem is in taking the first step.
5. Practice: Once set,keep practicing to make perfect. Success does not come overnight,good things take time. Never go to bed the same way you woke up. Always learn something to help you each day.
6. Be Principled: The Holy Book teaches that cursed is a man who holds a plow and looks back. A strong tree is not the biggest one in the forest but the one whose roots are deep in the ground. The world does not smile with you when you are winning. People always try to put you down. Always stand strong even if you have to loose your friends. Never change who you are just because you are afraid of losing them. They may go now,but will come back later when you are sitting at the high table.
7. Accept mistakes: No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who is not trying. Mistakes will shape you and will teach you kind of steps to take next time.

Be Kind
Once during a great famine,there was a man who was a pauper. Everyday,he walked around the homesteads scavenging for meals. It happened that in the same vicinity,a man and his wife lived but they were not welcoming. No one ever dared to approach their home.
One day due the man of the house saw from a distance the pauper approaching his gate. He was taking his lunch. Quickly he called on his wife to come and hide the plates. The pauper approached them and after quick pleasantries,he was shown off with the woman saying that he was welcomed once the harvest time comes. The man of the house after seeing off the pauper sat down to continue having his meal. Not long the pauper came running. Like before,the woman quickly hid the plates under the cupboard.
“What is it?why are you running?” the man angrily asked.
“I met up with a black mamba over there” the pauper replied pointing towards the grazing land.
“What was the size of the snake?” the woman asked as she ran towards them.
“So long,from where I am standing to where that plate of ugali under the cupboard is” the pauper replied.
The couple looked at each other in shame. After few minutes of confusion, the man beckoned the pauper to have a sit and they ate together.
The next day came and the man went to the village square. He told the villagers that he had enough to keep them going for sometime as they wait for the harvest. Every one was happy because the rich man had a change of heart. He had learnt his lessons.
- Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a battle.
- No one has it all that they do not need someone else help.
- One who has friends is more richer than one who has money.
- No man is an island, a man is a social being.
