REALITY CHECK #14 - LIFE AFTER DEATH (MADIBA)

[Source]

Yesterday, while I was waiting to get an okada to start my journey to CDS someone approached me with an evangelical tract that was titled with the question ‘Is there life after death?’, the guy asked me the same question as he offered me the tract, I told him yes there was and turned down the tract telling him that I was not interested bluntly. He was really bent on me finding out from the tract or at least sharing a scripture with me. I laughed on my inside seeing him struggle with his persuasion techniques, he didn’t play his cards in the right order, only if he knew I read Psychology.

But yes, I was serious with the life after death ideology, probably not from the angle you are expecting. Yes there is life after death. Life goes on after your death, but it would either go on with or without you. Some came to earth, died and still live today long after their death. There surely is life after death. Me and clichés, you choose to live or die after your death. You choose to leave legacies, indelible inventions, names, victories, achievements, freedoms, and histories long after you’re gone. The world may or may not celebrate your death positively, but somewhere somehow; you live or are dead every day after you are gone, through the things you left behind or not.

Another who would continue to have life after death has gone and I conclude in his very words

“The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement”

Adieu! Madiba

Long Live Nelson Mandela

REALITY CHECK #12 - PROCRASTINATE YOUR DEATH

by PHILLIPS OLAYANJU

DISCLAIMER:THIS POST DOES NOT ENCOURAGE ANY FORM OF CHARM, INCANTATIONS AND ALL OTHER FETISH THINGS.

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.
