BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN LIVE ON YOUR KNEES

In the recent past, I have tended to retreat from public life to reflct, meditate and take stock of the various facets of live. the more I ruminate on these issues, ponder and reflect, the more I am discovering myself. It has been amazing that all along, there was confidence that i knew myself. Ladies and gengtlem, the greatest enemy of our time in mediocrity- simply put, being luke warm, half hearted, 50/50, nusu nusu as many terminologies would describe this. There are many items that remain unmet simply becuase I did not make them a life and death affair. Mediocrity, lets face it kills all our facets slowly but surely. From relationships and social issues, to business, education and academic pursuits, and spititual development. The second issues inevitably becomes procrastination. This means unnecessary postponement of tasks, carrying forward work or locularly, dilly dallying. Men, ho perfect i have recently become in this. Imagine, minutes of an NGO meeting that i am meant to read and confirm takes more that a wk to just read and confirms! Editing a documents takes a century. Then helter skelter, here I am in the last minute trying to move mountains. The last arch enemy becomes poorp planning. in the olden days, we were trained to plan everything from money, time, other resources. With time these simple teachings have been thrown out of the window and in turn resulted in drifting through life like hyacinth on lake Victoria. This aspect of leaving one day at a time sickens me tremndously. Now that I have done thorough serach about my self, I get convicned that these are keeping me on my knees. A time to take bold move is now. Thus, I will take a bold move and deal with these three key aspects noted. This has nothing to do with new year resolution which I used to make several years ago. Any time you notice some strange behavior in me, Know that I am now self informed. Better to die on your feet that live on your feet. Kairithia.
