CHANGE is the only permanent thing in
life, and change always has to change.
You either live
life, or life will leave you.
The law of
motion states that, “Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain
in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.”
However, at
that point of impact, such an object can never define, limit or determine the
position it will end up in.
No matter how
good a president is, he must vacate after a number of years, failure to do so,
usually turns his good deeds sour.
That’s why we
should always be like the Boy Scout, “be prepared.”
Don’t assume
you would be where you are for the rest of your life.
Life itself
has seasons, so you don’t have to wait for the raining season before you buy an
umbrella.
The fact of
life is that no condition is permanent, for one day, u will have to change
or change will change u.
You can’t have
100 friends, and not have one enemy.
You can’t be
the highest goal scorer every league season.
You can’t
always be the best performer.
And you can’t
always be in the good books of everyone forever.
So, should we
now wait to be changed? or be the change itself?
The good book
says, he who is unafraid to lose his life, will keep it, while he who is afraid
to lose his life, will surely lose it.
Usually, you
are afraid of losing something when you don’t have an alternative.
For if you
had an alternative, you would not want to “ku sibe,” for you will know that
“when some go, some will come, so, there will always be some.”
Most people
have generator at home, incase NEPA takes the light.
They have
fuel stored at home, in case they run out of fuel unexpectedly.
They make
copies of their original certificates in case they lose the originals.
Some even
have two or three partners, in case the other one(s) refuses to play ball.
However, and
unfortunately, most people never have a Plan B, for the eventuality of a job
loss.
Waiting till
doomsday, before you get ready, is like jumping into the middle of the Ocean in
order to start swimming lessons.
Some people
will say, you don’t test the depth of a water with both feet.
Others will
say, practice makes perfect.
Preparing for
Change is about a lot of things.
It’s about
increasing your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual abilities.
It’s about
increasing your earning power.
It’s about
purpose, knowing what you want and going for it.
It’s about
action, trying new things and challenges to know your capability.
It’s about
having a safety net to catch you when you fall.
It’s about
staring at FEAR and knowing, FEAR fears you.
One of the
biggest birds in the world, the Ostrich, would rather hide his head in the sand
than fight or take flight when danger looms.
The funny
thing is that, the bird is one of the fastest land animals, and it also has a
very strong kick, yet it always limits its own potential itself.
Unfortunately,
some of us will rather play the Ostrich in the face of a “coming eventuality.”
Change will
come, whether you like it or not.
For some of
those who use to work in Banks, it has come already.
The question
is not when will it come, the question is, who is next?
Thank you.
