REAL CHANGE BEGINS WITH CHANGE OF HEART

You have probably heard about this old age story of a man that wanted to change the entire world on his own. Please let me tell it in my own words. A story is told of a young man in his twenties who had a vision to change the world. He thought he could make a lasting change but after assessing his efforts and progress, he realised that the world was too big to listen to him. He decided that in his 30s now, he would try and change his continent. Ten years passed and he realised that he could not change his continent. Then he revised his goals downward and decided that in his 40s he could at least focus all his energy on changing his country. Soon it dawned on him that even his country was too big for him to change. He swallowed a bitter pill again and with great pain and disappointment, he revised his goal further down words.

YOUR VERY BEST IS YOURSELF

Time spent with your family is time best spent. When my daughter and I do not have much to talk about, we read a story from one her favorite story books. Yesterday, we read a story about donkey that got me thinking…..”Once upon a time the king of the jungle organized a party for all his friends. He insisted that the invited guests look their very best for the occasion. Donkey had a difficult time deciding what to do in order to look her best. Her friend zebra told her that she already looked great and that all she needed to do was clean herself and wear a hat for the occasion.

CHANGE DOES PERSIST

CHANGE KNOCKS DOWN THE UNPREPARED
This weekend I was sifting through my old letters and I found a letter I received from my wife dated December 5th, 2005.  Then, we had just known each other for two years and we were still dating. Mobile telephony had not yet penetrated in the village and our main form of communication was letters. The good old days yea?...but then what is good about remembering the days when communication was such a hustle?.....
