THE PRICE OF COMMITMENT
~2.8 mins read
After all life cannot offer us what we want someone might say but what if it can?
Have you thought about it, what if you can get everything you want and what if our limitations are not really limitations but mere glass ceilings that if we go close enough we can shatter and break through them.
We have the power to make decisions for our life and decision is the stirring wheel of life. Life begins to move in the direction our decisions have stirred it to move.
We can achieve all we want to achieve if we are willing.
First you have to want it.
Sencondly you have to want it bad enough.
And thirdly you have to want it bad enough that it makes you move.
Until your desires start moving you, it cannot materialise.
For instance you feel thirsty and want water, you can ignore your want of water at that time because it's not that bad and as such, you remain where you are not making any move to get water. But with time when the thirst and longing for water becomes unbearable, you are forced to move to get water even if you're tired, even if you're physically disabled, everything else would not matter anymore except the fact that you feel thirsty and want water now. You would do anything at that point to get it.
That is same with our desires and what we want out of life until we want it and want it bad enough that it caused to move we cannot achieve it.
Then someone might argue that I've wanted things that bad before and I was so close to getting it and some how things didn't work out the way I thought it would. And I'll still say it again
"You wanted it but not bad enough"
The desire of a man is the strongest force in the world. When a man desires to see the space, space crafts became a possibility, once a man desired to explore the oceans and seas and he made suits and equipments that made it a possibility.
The desire becomes a fuel for man to achieve anything he wants.
Commitment is a function of desire. No man can be committed to what he does not want. But see a man in his elements and you will see a man excelling in what he is doing.
Everything in life, whether it be love, work or living you need to know your desires and from there you find purpose. Our purpose in life is wrapped up in the things we long for. The kind of things we want to see, the kind of life we want to live, the kind of family we want to raise, the kind of business we want to build, the kind of people we want to relate and associate with, the kind of education we want to have.
When we look closely at all these, we see where the dots connect and finally we see that everything is everything and all of our desires are one but manifesting in different forms.
That is how we know what we are to pay attention to and what we can ignore.
Depression is ignoring what we are supposed to be paying attention to. When we are not living in our purpose and materialising our most burning desire, we set ourselves adrift and somehow we get lost trying to find ourselves in our minds because we no longer feel alive.
The way out of depression is to find purpose, is to locate our desires and work towards fulfilling them.
The best way to commit yourself to anything is to want it and want it badly.
Desire is the price for commitment. Just keep wanting it and never stop wanting it badly.
Focus on life, pay attention to your thoughts and you find what to live for.

HELLO FUTURE
~2.8 mins read
If I should ask you if you believe in the future your reply would be "don't everyone ?"
What I badly want to know is how everyone in the world agree on this. We just believe effortlessly that the future holds something for us, something beautiful, something that would make us forget all the pain and tears today has offered.
An intriguing question now would be when is the future? Is it in 5years or some 100years coming?
I used to believe that the future is very far away from the present until one day I realised that the future is not a distant reality.
The future is near you, it is closer to us than we know, the future is the next five minutes, the future is the next 30days, the future is the next second of the clock, the future is close to you with every ticking of the clock.
So is it possible that so many of us are still waiting for something that is already here? Could it be the reason why there are so many sad people in the world, that it is not as if they are just that way but they have lost their hope in the wait. They are now frustrated and all their anticipation have died leaving them with so many unrealized dreams and broken promises they made to themselves.
The future is not far away but it is a door that is ever before you, when you see this door you step into it.
The future is that opportunity coming your way, it is that work you're lazy to do, it is that person you're ignoring, it is the trauma you fail to confront, the future is the fight you're backing off from. The future is always in front of us looking at us but because we have already created a picture of what the future looks like we do not recognize it when it appears to us.
Of course it doesn't come the way we thought it would, we thought we wanted a corn farm why am I seeing a corn seed, hoe and fertilizer?
Our future is connected to today. The future is not a dream that is unachievable. Every future is connected to the decision you are taking now, the kind of life you are choosing to live this minute has severe impact on your future.
The future we see is often the end result, we fast forward to the last phase where we see the glory of it all.
But if only we can think of the future as a child who would undergo so many process of growth to become the man or woman that they would be at the end.
A child starts from milk, to light food then to solid food.
A child starts from learning how to sit then to crawl before ever taking their first steps. The try to walk faster and they fall, they cry and get up again and start all over till they get to the point where they can run.
This is a clear description of the future. You make those steps yourself towards the future. The future is not coming to you, you are walking into it. So as long as you don't move, the future is there at your face, you're seeing it in the eyes of your heart, you can feel it nearby but it still depends on you.
This is a world where you can be anything you want to be. If you can set your heart and mind to anything you can take a hold of it.
Impossibilities are only the things we fear to take a chance on. And the future is a game of chance. But you have to deliberately make the choice to succeed at it when you have the chance. The future is now.
