All Change.

Nothing stays the same forever and with time all things change, for the good or for the bad it all depends on the decisions we make with each passing minute.

The entry into the year 2000 to many may seem like it all happened just a few weeks ago, to those who had babies born to them at that time, some of those babies have now turned most parents into grandparents.

Time, moments, and memories are elements that make up a great part of our lives.

The beauty of life is living in the current moment doing right now what we feel is right and good for our very own growth and sustainability, we must savour the moments and treasure the memories along the way.

The past is left to memories, some we will never forget, some easily forgotten, and some memories have left scars reminding us where we come from and that the journey we are traveling has many ups and downs and many events we can not predict. Life goes on.

A journey of self-growth depends on what kind of change we want to see in our lives. We may learn a lot from the successes and failings of those who have been before us, but it ultimately remains our choice to which direction we set our sails, remembering that 'no wind is favourable to a man who knows not where he is going'.

Being patient enough to stay consistent will always result in your success been inevitable, getting 1% better every day over time leads to extraordinary results. I've learned not to wait for motivation to strike because most times it won't, so for me I'm working on a routine I must follow regardless of how I feel. 

I have recently added to my routine a workout exercise I want to remain consistent too for many of the positive results will bring.

Errors upon errors and the consequence thereof

Looking back at this past week it seems I have been having incredibly early mornings, regardless of the lack of sleep, my heart rejoices that I got to at least accomplish set tasks for each day. One may feel exhausted after completing set duties, but that up-to-date charged-up feeling, always welcome.

Brings to mind days waking up early morning during school days, such as memories of junior high school where we would have weekly tests based on that chapter of learning during the week. I didn’t favour those weekly tests because if you failed on some of the questions, one was given the chance to go back and do the corrections. Not that it changed the initial mark record. I’m guessing it was a way of making sure you get to fully understand what has been taught and hopefully gain some sort of knowledge through those exercises.

To Err is human.

The remainder of the line, “to forgive divine.” But I don’t want to dwell on that part of forgiveness just yet. We all have made mistakes in this life that has probably brought upon us great loss, sadness, along with much regret. One thing is sure, It is not often that life offers the opportunity to make corrections, go back and do it differently. Although I am a true believer in correcting mistakes where one recognises and acknowledges their errors, and where one has erred, one must make amends. 

Many times we have faced situations that have left us to deal with unwelcome consequences that could result in major losses and changing our lives forever leaving us drowning in a pool of regret.

Sometimes we make choices at moments thinking the best of the outcome yet only aids in future difficulties causing much chaos not only to oneself but to those around moreso loved ones. Still, we have done things and made choices that cause much grief and confusion. As a result, we gain a loss of appetite, many sleepless nights, wild and crazy thoughts fill the mind, and it has been known that in such situations we could then commit desperate acts in those desperate circumstances only to end up burning on a hot seat to now face unsavoury consequences.

There are times we not aware we are creating errors, there are times we commit errors in the hope no one will get hurt, or maybe we can find a resolution before dire penalties become the result. There are times we try to rectify these errors but only seem to dive deeper into a mass of confusion and create an even worse and unbearable situation. The pain and shame as a result of any unfortunate actions or words expressed.

We learn we grow, we hope, and we pray for the strength to know better and to be able to do better.
