I know you are not yet born, but when you finally
get here, I pray you take some time and read this…hopefully you will but if you
don’t, I will understand after all its just some rumbling from an old man, and
what do we, old people know?
Child, many
have come and left this world, some fulfilled, some not, I want you to know that you make your own
life…and destiny is what you make out of life, there is no predetermined path,
no boundaries you cant break through, sure people will preach to you about fate
and its having an upper hand over your life….but child, should anyone tell you
about fate…tell them that you make your own fate…this may be hard to comprehend
but child, I never said life is
easy….its hard, compared to what, I don’t know.
In fact some say that the easiest
thing in this life is death, but how do they know, nobody ever came from the
dead with tales to tell. There will be hurdles, struggles, hardships that will
push you to the blink…but remember child, victory is for those who see beyond
the hardships, because to do the impossible you have to see the invisible. Once
a story was told, of a high jump Olympic
champ, the best of the best, and many a people sought after him, and all were
asking the same question, “whats your secret champ?”. His answer astonished
many, a simple answer but a huge driving force, am sure by now you want to
know his secret, well child, I won’t
keep you waiting, here goes, he told them, “when am about to Jump, I see myself
over the bar”. Knocked you off,right? Child keeping an optimistic mind may seem
a hard thing to do and well it doesn’t solve one’s problems but it gives one
the courage to face whatever it is one is up against, many times I have been
told that the heart scares easily and you have to trick it into believing that
all is well. Child, I have lived and have seen many a people give up and fail
when success was so close at hand and many would have won if they had had
the heart to hold on, persevere and give
it another try…after all is it not darker when dawn is about to break. So
child, I hope you learn the art of perseverance, learn not to give up, learn to
stay positive and Child, learn to look above thee. When you feel that your
world is spinning and things are falling
apart, remember your Heavenily father…call unto Him, one thing I have
learnt is that He is always ready to listen…so Child, learn to talk to Him, let
not the world and science convince you that He doesn’t exist. He does, He
cares, He Loves beyond measure, He will always be there….unlike me, this may be
hard to hear…but Child, the worldly forces have always found a way to separate
loved ones through death, work and sometimes things don’t always work out
according to plan , by now you cant understand
but you will with time. He may not perform miracles to solve your
problems but He will sure clear the fog so that you may see and that believe me
Child, is a good thing.
Child learn to listen. Talk less and listen more
that is how it was purposed, after all we were given two ears and one the
mouth. The world gives more credit to those who walk their talk, those who are
for less talk but lots of actions. Actions always spoke more than words…and all
the talk in the world wouldn’t help if it were not followed by actions. Many unnecessary
wars would have been avoided if either of the involved parties were ready to
listen. Child, learn to constraint your Ego for as much as it should serve you,
it should not make you so full of yourself. Child, the soul feeds on silence
and pray that you often get away from the
bustle that’s life, go to a queit
place and meditate, make peace with your Maker and also appreciate
nature, talk to the sun,walk with the moon and if you can dance with the stars,
youl’l have found immense happiness.
Child, I pray you learn to love and to show it. Let
the ones you love know that you do, whatever they do with the love is upon
them. Remember son, live simply, love generously, speak kindly and leave the
rest to God, for we walk not by sight but by Faith. Listen for others bell and
they will listen for yours and learn to be kinder than necessary for everyone
you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Lastly Child, I pray you have Passion for the things you do, for where passion exists masterpieces are found. Try
new things,enjoy challenges and in the process get to know your talent, it will
earn you more than all the education in the world, am not belittling education
so learn as much as you can, assimilate all the knowledge you can and apply it
in your life, for its of no purpose to acquire it and fail to use it. Child, as I pen off, live
wisely learning from your mistakes and failures keeping in mind that those that
don’t make mistakes don’t try and trying is all that makes the difference
.
Your Hopeful & Loving
Dad.
