Life Goes On||My Motivation
I never knew I could be this stable again in life, I thought it ended for me, I thought there wasn't any life to live again after the demise of the most valuable and supportive persons in my life. I cried all the tears I could untill my eyes swelled up and I could no longer see clearly again, my uncle had to ask people to take me to his house thinking maybe if I go off site of the bad event I might calm down a bit but the memories kept following me each step I make even in his house.
After some while, I was brought back home so that people that come to sympathize with us will also see me. Everyone came and greeted us and left though there were family friends that spent the whole week in our house. Nothing was interesting me all through even the condolences from the mourners didn't feel up the vacuum in my heart. There came this very woman I will never forget, she told me something that lighted my me up and liberated some energy in me. She said, "There Boy, as long as your hands are not cut off nor your legs chopped off you are not a less privileged person" she also told me that I can choose to be what I want to be because there are people that have parents but they're worst than the less privileged because of their mindset, it is your mindset that will determine wether you're a less privileged person or not.
I got the clear message this woman was telling me. Her words continued to ring in my head, I began to think of possible solutions and the next step to take in life. I was relieved by what she said and told myself I cannot be a less privileged person because of my condition, I aim higher and today, I find myself helping the less privilege though in the little way I can. This words haven't departed from my heart since then and I'm looking forward to the day I will see the woman that inspired my life for the best because since almost 10 years now I've not set my eyes on the woman again.
I feel this person is actually God sent because she knew the exact thing I needed to hear at that moment. Everyone was consoling me but none of it was making sense until she came and told me those best words "There Boy, as long as your hands are not cut off nor your legs chopped off you are not a less privileged person". For those that might not understand what the proverb means. It simply means hard-work and determination is all I need to be different from my situation. I can persevere and change my own story with my own hands if I wish to or I can decide to be the victim of my circumstances.
No matter what the situation is, LIFE GOES ON! We need to learn how to move on and enjoy the other positive aspects of life..
