Find Your Rhythm
and Dance to the beat of your heart.
You wake up every day determined to get something done , to
pursue that which pleasures you and/or to find your pot of Gold. You get caught
up in the rat race , doing what you have to do (Hustling) in order to push
beyond your limiting circumstances. You worry about this and that , anxiety
about your expectation shoots up and "die high high di keepha matla".
In the process, infecting yourself with premature aging because of all the
stress piling up. You try by all means to keep up with your peers , colleagues
and acquaintances to stay in the same
level on the social ladder or keep up the societal status . Eventually you find
yourself in the murk of Low self-esteem , because you are living somebody
else's expectation of your life unsuccessfully.
Selah ! Pause and think for a moment ....Is it all worth it
? Why are you doing it ?
I once learned a motivating life lesson from a Sepedi (North
Sotho) Idiom/expression " Bophelo a bona mo hloga pele" .Translated it
would be " life has no’ .....Eish this one is hard to do a direct
translation for, so I will try and explain it.
It basically means the
turning wheel of life is so unpredictable . Just because someone got the finish
line before you, it doesn't mean you
cannot make it yourself.
To add on to this , you should remember that , because we
are all individually and uniquely formed , We cannot , I repeat ....We cannot
all have the same destinies, or the same purpose in life. We have our own uniquely
designed path to walk and so ,you cannot
walk somebody else’s path. You will only exhaust yourself , trying to keep up
and push through. To find your own rhythm …Ask yourself –WHO AM I , AND WHAT AM
I HERE TO DO? The answer is within.
So As you rise tomorrow , to face a new day …Wake up to your
own destiny . Wake up to your beat and Dance to your rhythm. Don’t be scared ,
Its all good in the Hood . God Has your back. Trust that his plan for your life
is unique , bright and perfect.
Run your own race , in your own lane . Find your rhythm and Dance to
the beat of your heart. That way you will wake with determination and go to bed
with satidfaction.
