MAKE A DIFFERENT...

Written by :Steven Gentle Mokwena


Now or never.

Now or Never moments.

There comes a time in life where we end up realising the amount of time we have lost over some useless things and as a results we spend more time regretting. Time its very important in our lives far more than most of the other things in the world we live in . And failure to realise the importance of time will result in the failure of our other endeavors. Some people often tells us that time its money after they have realised the significance of time in their lives. Each and every one of us has 24 hours every day and the success of many people depends mostly on their ability to manage time well. When you ignore the importance of time you put your future at risk. Life problems.

Unfortunately life doesn't  treat us equal and the fact of the matter is it will remain like that forever. What makes us to be different to other people is how we react when life gives us lemons instead of lemonades. The choices we make are the once that tells people who we are really. Our reactions and response when we are facing the difficulties of life are the once that begin to pave our way to success or failure. Some of the people react much better when they are facing the adversities of life while others just go from bad to worse.

A good example we see it in a situation where a step daughter is being sexually abused by the stepfather instead of reporting the matter to the cops and seeking help from the professionals and relatives, the stepdaughter chooses to run to the street and begin to engage in prostitution. Whereas on the other hand a high school student who is struggling with school work instead of dropping out of the high school, the student will go for extra lessons after school and even go to the extent of getting a tutor. The above two examples shows us two young people who react and respond differently in difficult situation.

Life and time wasted.

Then we find that most of the people their lives and time is wasted in hard times and circumstances more than anywhere else. Life can be so cruel,unforgiving and unfair sometimes but you find that some people instead of seeking solutions of the problems they are facing instead they end up jumping from one problem to another. When youths struggle to find employment instead of approaching community organizations and volunteer, they choose to hang around in the street corners to smoke all kinds of drugs. When a man is struggling to provide for his wife and children instead he chooses to abuse alcohol because of stress. Then you find that lot of time is been wasted while a person is going from a bad situation into a worse one,in other words you use your bad situation unware to create the worst one thinking that you will find a solution.

Now or never moment.

Take an example with a drug addict if on his or her own gets to a point where he or she says I need help I'm tired of this thing it becomes very difficult for anybody else to pull that person out of drugs.A huge amount of time and resources could be wasted its ok, never waste more time weeping for the things you have lost. Houses,cars,jobs and friends may be lost in the process but thank God that you are still alive because where there is life there is always hope. Again take the lessons you have learned with you, I'm sure you will need them and you can help other people as well.

What do you do after all the losses and disappointments.

All your valuables and properties are gone, maybe even your dignity is no more. Stop crying and complaining, stop regretting and groaning, stop being bitter and pushing people away. Wipe off your tears,take a deep breath and sit back and relax and tell yourself that is not over until God says its over. Turn over a new leaf in your life and begin to take all those lemons life has been throwing at you and make lemonades, take all the bricks that life has been throwing at you and say enough is enough and start building the bridge to cross over to the promised land .Yes it may not be easy, don't waste anymore of your time and tell yourself its either now or never, your personal experiences and the lessons you have learned coupled with expert's advices and consultations the sky won't even be the limit for you.

They say its not how you start but how you finish, the holy Bible says a righteous man even if he can fall seven times he will always get up, so rise and shine its either today or never.
