It seems like yesterday when we all shouted “Happy New Year!!!” It was the dawn of 2009. There were lots of promises and prophesies. My own church had a word that read like this ”2009: My year of signs, wonders, miracles and positive change.” Everyone was in high spirits. We all believed that even though the shadow of the economic recession was looming large over things generally, respite would surely break forth in 2009.
In line with this, many of us wrote down goals, some as usual resolutions whih they have long since broken. We wrote down goals that seemed harder to achieve than dry bones becoming a live army in the valley of the dead. We were consoled by the air of possibilities and optimism. Now, three months down the line. Exactly a quarter of the year gone, most of us have already forgotten our goals. Some of us don’t even know where we wrote them down, not to mention what they are.
What we held on to as possibilities are fast mading in our imaginations as possibilities. We are beginning to become “reasonable” and to settle for whatever comes our way. Those who thought to strike out in one business or the other are balking away. Those who had on their list a new language to learn or skill to develop or degree to acquire or to apply for are giving the current economic landslide as an excuse not to do it again.
Many are beginning to look at and consider the wind. Many have forgotten that they were actually living by faith and hope and are beginning to look at the boisterousness of the sea and the waves thereby sinking into the sea and drowing. We have quickly forgotten that the proof of pursuit is “Desire”. We merely wished for the things we wrote down and seemingly trusted God for.
For if wishes were horses, even beggars will ride. Activity they say is not rewarded, only results are. Therefore, we who have seen the 1st of April should say excitedly to ourselves “Happy New Quarter”. We should pick up our goal list and get re-energised to accomplish all we have set to do. Only those who have wasted the first 3 months and are not taking stock on their achievements or repositioning to perform better are truly “April Fools”.
Life only gives you what you demand and not what you wish, ask or deserve. If you haven’t spoken to that babe, come on speak to her and let her know you want to marry her. What’s the worst that can happen? She says “No”,you cry a bit and you move on..LOL.
How sad will it be if on the first of July, you discover that not only did you ignore the April fool’s warning, you inadvertently became a July fool as well. I wish you all the best in the new quarter guys and please “GO OUT THERE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE”. “CREATE YOUR OWN FUTURE” and make yourself and generations born and unborn in your genealogy proud of you.
