The Simple Things..

I have to say, The Human race is by far the most stupid of all creatures I have the privilege of knowing.
What I have always believed and considered common sense to my uttermost surprise is not common.
For some funny reason, I have a feeling of all humanity still not ever having the intelligence of just one ant.
I am African, and I have seen places outside of my country and continent stumbled across stories and art forms that speaks volumes to what the human race is capable of and what we have become.
And I have come to a very light and simple yet difficult to swallow conclusion that ' The humans that lived before the 20th Century posses a higher level of intelligence and creativity.
People are now dumber and less creative than those before us and the scariest thing is how much that gap will keep on widening until the end of the world.
Life is simple in its self. The decisions and actions we take are what sets the degree or level of difficulty that we tend to face in our day to day ordeals.
I have stumbled on stories and individuals who decided and chose to make an impact in certain areas and succeeded greatly. One of such is Albert Einstein. Another is Abraham Lincoln and the list goes on.
But it is amazing how we wake up today to find in this world the most useless of beings with their nonchalant attitudes and stuck up mentality that chose to be useless and dumb.As a Man of Faith, my religion clearly makes something clear to me, 'what ever you desire you will get it but only if you have faith and work in accordance to that faith'.
Today, similarity is preached and promoted and almost every one if not all wants to like someone else.
Just because an elite few made it in a way, does not mean you can make it the same way as well.
we all have a unique DNA, IRIS, Finger Print and Voice for a reason. We are made to be unique and not similar. I have seen great minds reduced to mere slaves and great destinies truncated by lesser minds or the desire to be someone else. The most dangerous teaching and legacy passed down today is that of holding similarity in high esteem over differences and accommodate comfort over hard-work.
The Simple truth?
If we ever want to have the best of this life, we have to go back to the simple things in Life.
Smile, it takes nothing from you.
Be friendly, makes the world an easier place to live.
Always have your eyes on something, that way you always have something to live for.
Your Happiness should be tied to others not just yourself. That way you are relevant.
Every moment should be a capturing moment, to be cherished and remembered for good.
Learn from your mistakes but don't change who you are for anybody.
Make every moment count, for you might never have them again.
Always say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Now, ask yourself how sincere you are to yourself, then improve on it.

The 'U' in YOU.

How I love the rhythms of life and the beautiful music it plays everyday.
Many at times I ask myself why I am still living in this cruel world and for some weird but pleasant reason i find pleasure in the affairs of life at the expense of others?
Why do I do the things I do without even giving a thought to how much I will hurt those around me and the ones I love?
If I have the chance to make the world a better place at the expense of my life, will I choose to save my self or the miserable world I wake up to everyday?
What if I have the power to make everyone bow to me or give all the freedom they so desire, will I be kind to let everyone be or stay true to my nature and let the whole world rot beneath me?
Enough of me, Let's get to understand you.
What if You had the chance to be God for a day, will the world survive a minute of your wrath with all it's cruelty?
What if you had the power to fight back anyone and everyone that wants or is trying to put you down, how far will you go?
If you had the power to change just one thing for good, will you be generous enough to let the world have it ?
Are you really true to yourself on what you truly are capable of when ever you relate to your environment?
If you had the chance to take away something from the past or change it what will it be ?
Do you really think both you and I have answers to any thing life throws at us?
How sure are you that you will still be here the next minute, hour, day, week, month or year?
If we ever meet, will you know me for who I am or the person I claim to be (for sure) and vice-versa?
If I ask you a question will you be true to me and even go the length of understanding me?
What if I make you aware that there is a solution to every problem for every one?
Will you agree with me or just argue things to suite your wicked and egocentric lifestyle?
Do you really think you are righteous? If yes, who or what are you comparing yourself with/to?

Everyday, Life plays a different melody. Some slow and some fast. But one thing is always certain, the rhythm only truly changes when we let it.
Our environment, belief and faith plays a major role in what life will offer to us on both the short-run and the long-run.
What if I say, 'You make your own melodies and rhythms in Life', will you believe me?
