FOCUS ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS
By Valentine C. Muoma
He wallowed in solitude
Deeply engrossed in thought
Hunched over with a sense of dismay
With the feeling that his heart had been ripped off
This state of misery beclouded him
His encounter with miscreants and backstabbers unsettled him
The retrogressive state of the Nation startled him
The phobia of vituperation muted him
His life path seemed bleak and uncertain
Unhappy lines on his face etched deeply
As he wondered gloomily in his thoughts,
He heard a voice say to him:
It is your choice to make on how to live your life
You will remain a shadow of your true self
If you fail to heal from the brunt of your past experiences
Let not the wrongs of others towards you overwhelm you
Purge yourself of resentment
Detach from anything detrimental to you and those around you
Careless about what the multitude say about you
Liaise more with those who sacrifice their time and treasure for your well being
Open your mind to what lies ahead of you
Focus on what really matters
Be consistent in the pursuit of your goals and aspirations
Utilize your God given potentials
Never give up on your self
Your intuition is always right.
