Puss in boots

I had no business been there, but went all the same. I had no reason to defy the warning signals, but i did all the same. Now its pain, with the innocence gone and the reality staring me in the face. I wish i knew what it was like without actually having to experience it, wish i knew, the travails and the anguish, the joys and the laughter, but alas, knew in such a callous way.

life is a trancient journey. I sit back and reflect over my life and realize i have come a long way and i look ahead and see the journey that still lies ahead. Am i scared? No!

Each stop over i have had, my mind never stayed contented with the place for it looks ahead and sees the distance yet to be covered and longs to move on. Some Bus-stops looks comfortable, but its a lure, i have come to realize, to dull my senses and deprive me of the joy of reaching my ultimate destination.

So, what is my ultimate destination? Success? Wealth? Riches? lovely Home? beautiful and Lovely wife and Kids? Or what?

I have come to realize that my ultimate destination lies in been fulfilled in my calling and bringing joy to people and a smile to the face of someone in need of it.

That is my destination! This is my destination! SHMG!

Dare is a word that rings through the ages. A word that stirs up emotions, passion, courage and determination.

Dare is a word that connotes different meanings to different people to take different actions. You can dare to live, dare to die, dare to believe, dare to care, dare to try, dare to think, dare the circumstance, dare the devil, dare the world! Dare! Dare!! Dare!!!

What is it that we dread to do, to confront, and to admit?

Let us dare it, and damn the consequence. Let us dare to believe in ourselves, to believe in our future, in our dreams, in our country, and in our world.

Let us dare to stand for what we believe in and what we want to do.

Dare……………dare…………………….dare.

Dare is a word i have long thought of, read of and think of anything to add to it.

But am glad am taking this step to start writing. To start a page and communicate my thoughts and reflections. To me its a great step but to you it might be insignificant. In the words of Neil Armstrong, the first astronouat to set foot on the moon, “This is just one small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind”. A small step, but a giant leap into the future! Welcome to my world!
