Hello there,
It's been a rough year and with the
way most people are talking about death and its ominous manifestation, I think
it's worth a thought. How would you feel if someone walked up to you telling
you that you can prolong your stay on earth without any form of charm or vodoo?
Oh yeah, you certainly would be interested as I would. Really, no one wants to
die at an early age before his potential accomplishment but death would
certainly come it's only a question of 'when'? Is there a way to shift the day
of doom a bit forward?
So, I've always wanted to write
something about people and their idiosyncrasies. I came in contact with a lot
of people (especially death procrastinators) and I've always felt the urge to
write something interesting about them but, as you probably know by now, I'm a
death procrastinator and I postponed it till I was invited by a friend to
contribute to her transformation of people
through my pen. I was forced to get up to do what I ought to have done months
ago. If you haven't read it, I think you
really should here. I'm
indeed indebted to her.
I'm guessing there's something special,
something interesting you've always wanted to do; someplace you want to go;
something you badly want to achieve before your death. Is it playing a musical
instrument? Learning a trade? Producing a movie that would outlive you? Writing
that intriguing book? Visiting that
place you see in your dreams? Accomplish that feat no one has ever dreamed of?
There are endless possibilities and unimaginable things you can achieve if only
you'll listen to that voice that keeps telling you: "come on, come on, you
can do it. Just try. Don’t think it’s impossible. People may laugh at you but
what do you care? When you leave your name in the sands of time, when you
achieve your goals, they'll come running to ask you how you did it. Then you
must answer, 'I only listened to my heart'"

Well, as they say: "Death comes
like a thief in the night" and like I'll say: "The fear of death is
the beginning of fear itself" .Wouldn't it be pitiful and unsatisfying if
we answer the divine clarion call and the only account we have to give is:
"Errm, I was about to…"? Isn't it unsatisfying for someone with
lesser knowledge, gift, talent and ability achieves what you've always dreamed
of but, never got to start. God has deposited in us powerful potentials beyond
our mortal imagination; we only have to tap into it.
Having said all these, let's drive
into 2014 at a neck-breaking speed! We've got to paint the coming year red with
our achievements. What are your resolutions for 2014? Mine's having a positive
mind, what's yours?
