I woke up late this morning. When I opened my eyes, I was so tired that I couldn't get up because of my running around the previous day. While laying there I decided to go through the files I downloaded yesterday. While doing this, I noticed that some of my neighbours were back and they were arguing about where they kept their key.
Later they found it, and they kept on with their normal routine. Suddenly a call came through for one of them. The call was from another friend of theirs. While they were conversing, one of them noticed the sound of hens in the background, so they asked him; friend, but you said you live in an estate, how come hens are making noise in the background?
He couldn't give them a convincing answer, so they started yabbing him on phone. He bragged about calling 'em for four mins, but they responded with more tirade and thereby making his mum inclusive in the verbal attack. It was then they referred to his former act of snapping a pic in front of a flat screen tv in another person house, also his act of going from house to house to snap pics for DP.
I was forced to go there, because the tirade has transgressed into the callers family engulfing his parent in such mess. Then I asked myself "why such facade ?" The verbal abuse he got was way to much. But had it been he had presented himself the way he was, there won't be the need for such. And his pride would have remained intact.
This demeaning act is what has prompted me to share my cherished principle called D.A.W principle. This principle is all you need to better your life.
D - Discover Yourself.
A - Accept Yourself The Way You Are,
W - Work On Yourself.
D; Discover who you are truly, know things about yourself,do not wait for others to define you.
A; Accept yourself the way you are, be happy with yourself, feel good about yourself, accept the fact that God wanted you that way for some reasons.
W; Work on yourself, better yourlife, add value to your life, beyond what your background says, or what your certificate says. Look inside of you, and discover what you can do. Stop looking outward, stop comparing yourself with other people.
The above principle is what you need if you fall into that callers category. Those three steps are easy and simple to take. It would preserve you, make you happy, make you fulfilled and it will spur you to greatness. Try it will, and it will be the best thing that has ever happened to you, because the things to come after applying the principles would add value to your life.
The above has worked for people if we are to look at their life critically. Someone like Jim Carrey. A English actor, a comedian who had a rough life his early days. This also would work for you.
I do not want you to be depressed, shattered, or to have a low self esteem, because God has placed something special in you. Stay focused, look inward and dare the greatness in you. Follow the above principles, better yourself and make this nation habitable.
Peace.
