Now or never

Intentions are the main reasons as to why everything has happened the way it’s happening. The reality of it all is that it can be positive or even negative depending on the way you look at .Sometimes we want to gain fame, favor or maybe we want to feel good about ourselves and that’s not bad after all, but the sad reality about all this is that in most cases we don’t realize it when it knocks at our doors and haunt us in our dreams. It has become a night mare and this is something that we should be very cautious about.

Every time we do something the first thing that we should be asking ourselves is whether we have ill intentions for doing it or is it because we really want to make good use out of it. The world can really become different if only we will employ positive thinking on our intentions for doing things.

Sometimes I really wonder what has become of us Kenyans. The worse disease that we are suffering from is not malaria or HIV/AIDS but its called IGNORANCE. This is the state of not knowing something. For me I will present to you a very different definition something that will give a new direction of everything. I define ignorance as being lazy to think of positive intentions.

Don’t mistake me for defining this word like this but the truth of the matter is that people who never think positively and are always just hanging around negative thoughts are said to be ignorant. We in the world where we always want to receive everything without wanting to know how to earn it. We love to receive charity and always ready to ask for more but never are we working earn our own. This is the reality of things and if you don’t agree with me checks this out.

 Every year since Kenyan became an independent nation we have always received some donation from donors out there whether we need it or not. Receiving has become so nice and easy that we no longer want to work for anything.

If you look around and compare the gap between the poor and the rich, you will notice that’s expanding as days go by. This is because we have become so comfortable with our situation and we want to receive more from those who have plenty while those who have it want to give out more for their names sake or other intentions other than charity. We don’t want to work, and put efforts in our own welfare and always expecting manna from America or whichever place it’s coming from these days.

I have been doing some thinking and I have been wondering why Kenya is not an industrialized country like our fellow nations South Africa who by the way just got their independence the other day. This is because we have not learnt to live as one, you know the ‘brotherhood thing’ and this is really messing our chances of change. A person who cannot genuinely empathize with others can never excel as a leader. So much of what ails society today is the result of too many people in leadership positions who do not or cannot identify with the plight of their fellow men and women. It is in enduring pain and struggles that the earth of our humanity is cultivated. And it is from this earth that a capacity to be genuinely concerned for the welfare of others blossoms.

It’s time that we look at our individual lives and come up with ways of developing our selves and making good intentions out of everything, life being a road with many signs we really need to take time to notice all the signs least we lose our way. Take it from me if we don’t open our eyes now then we might sleep forever.

Wake up lets journey on.
