Stars and bars

Hi there, it’s the scribe again. I missed you guys so badly. How are you doing my dears? While I decided to feast my eyes on God’s beautiful creation. Again and again I found myself staring at the skies; I couldn’t but help notice the awesomeness of the stars, each one holding its position in the sky, so prominent and proudly placed adding their individual shine and uniqueness to the skies.

What a sight I thought to myself; but just then I realized that that's exactly how God made us too. 

When God made us He put in each and everyone everything required for us to live and not survive, to dominate and not be intimidated, to rule and not be schooled. God made us stars in our own respect. He put in everyone a uniqueness that if harnessed would dazzle the world. To some he gave five talents, and to another two and yet to another he gave one but to everyone He gave talents in due proportions. 

You weren’t meant to be a mediocre, a mere passerby or a regular, no you were made champions carved from the finest, most unique and admired materials for your unique kind. When He made everything God looked on it and said it was GOOD. 
Pause for a minute and take a good look at yourself again; you are staring at a star.

But unfortunately so many have chosen to remain locked behind bars; yes bars my friends. So many have been locked behind bars limiting themselves from discovering the true champion embedded in them. When I say bars; I don’t mean prison bars literally; I’m talking about the bars of our minds, I speak about bars of limitations we’ve created for ourselves and those people have created for us.

     Have you been told that you are a failure got nothing to offer,

or that you weren’t good enough. Where you told that your gift or talent wouldn’t strive or that wouldn’t shine? Have you failed a number of times and now you are thinking of calling it quits? Wake up friend, the only way to be a champion is &NEVER EVER ACCEPT DEFEAT, don’t ever stop or relent until your breath stops

No one has the right to place you behind bars, not even yourself because you don’t own yourself. You are built for better and greater. The skies await your shine; your spot still is left bare. It’s time to take position, time to break free of your limitation, time to crush those bars of fear and inferiority. Its time to be the star that you were born to be.

Street lights and street lies

Hi there, time really flies, I hope I didn’t stay away for long? Yea it’s your friend in indeed when you need to read.

the weather was just appropriate for a quiet evening stroll plus the exercise benefit. And so as i took each step on the side walk, thoughts began rushing through my head; we all walk the streets everyday ,except for those who have got to rest, have no feet or can’t leave their seats. There are also those who are afraid of the heat.

Life they say is a journey and we all began at birth and are daily making our way to the end. Everyone is heading somewhere, even if for some it is nowhere. The thought ignites fear in the hearts of many and for others it is a reason to dare.

The journey of life is filled with streets that lead to different destinations; the street you choose to walk would determine where you are heading and your final destination. 

As we walk the streets of life we tend to look out for road signs directions that help us navigate the way to our dream or desired destination.

 The journey tends to be less stressful with the help of street lights that help us navigate right most especially at night . But must I warn you that not only do we have street lights but we also got street lies. 

The street lights are those who have lived exemplary lives and have paved the right paths to success and greatness while there are those whose shine were premised on crime, corruption and so many societal ills. I call them street lies.

To see clearly you must open your eyes, let’s pause for a moment, turn down the volume, drop the speed, switch lanes, and put those phones on silent mode. Its time you opened your ears to listen. Only great people have clones (those who want to be just like them). To be great sometimes you have to break bones, take loans, and go through ups and downs. As we walk through life we all are in some  way clones until we ourselves ascend our  throne, achieve success and become lights ourselves. Whose clone you are would ultimately predict if you’d be a light or a lie, it also determines what throne you ascend. Those I call the greats are those who walked these streets before us, they refused to board buses, take shortcuts, change course or be influenced in their thoughts. The beauty was that the lies on the street they never bought because they knew where they were headed.

Today you and I are on the same streets making our journey through life, the big question is "do you know where you are headed"? 
Friend it is simply about whose path you are following and who might that be? A light or a lie, So many dream of flying high, maybe in a plane but pause for a moment and think; what if the pilot was a lie? A trick, maybe never made it through school, never tried, only lied and now he flies with you high up in the sky, you are bound to crash, thus the reason for many cries

I think it’s time to open your eyes and see, you may ask see what? See the light my dear friends. What would our streets be without street lights? I got you thinking right?

 Well friends I got something to catch, it’s my flight see you again when I get back, back on the streets but until then look out for the lies and be a light.        D scribe.
