CHANGING TODAY



 You might be looking at your present situation in despair. There’s no money in your wallet, no lover to share your life with, no job, no car, no house, no child, whatever it is, you feel like this is it. You feel like your life has reached its summit. You may think about ending your life, after all there’s nothing to live for. You cry, scream and depression holds you down.
  When you look around you, all you see is where you are now and it’s definitely not where you want to be. You feel helpless and lost. You feel like you have no control over your life. It eats you up. You feel like you are in a hole and you can’t find your way back up and out of it.
  Here’s what you should remember; yesterday it wasn’t raining but it is today, ten years or more ago, you were in secondary school but now you are not. What does that tell you? It shows that this phase too will pass/ things will change. You have to believe that and smile in contentment with what you have. Deal with the now and present. If you want a change in your tomorrow and you want it to be different from your today, it’s all up to you. Avail yourself of the little opportunities that come your way and seem like nothing. You have to decide to change your tomorrow and make a change, swallow your fears, depression and self doubt and move. If you take no step today, you will always remain where you are today, tomorrow.

  Take out a pen, paper and five minutes alone and ask yourself some questions;
1. Who are you?
2. Do you have a reason to be thankful in your life?
3. Do you have a problem or situation you don’t like?
4. What is the problem or situation?
5. Where do you want to be?
6. What are the possible solutions to take you to where you want to be?
7. Which of these solutions should be short term or long term?
8. How do you carry out this solution or solutions?

  When you are done with the above, read through your list and smile. Smile because you’ve taken the first step in changing your present situation. 
Prayer is also a decision. It is a step. It has to be done with faith and persistence. God did say we should ask. So, we need to ask God for Her(His) help. 

  Where you are today, you will not be in tomorrow but it all depends on you and no one else. It’s your choice and decision to make and the time starts now. 
Thank you for reading my thoughts. What are yours?

  2. Disappointments, depression, fear and regrets are symptoms of an identity crisis. Sometimes it's hard to say who you are because only God can tell. This is why, no matter how much you've achieved, life is worthless without faith in God. Faith is not an antidote for troubled times. Faith is a spiritual posture that sees God as the source and sustainer of life regardless of where you are, what you have achieved or not.
