Slowly But Surely

The Rush to make it. ... the Rush to be like Mr A or Mrs B or Ms X...... the anxiety to have something like what they have...... is so strong these days that many youths are missing out on the importance of 'Living The Dream'.
Every dream, every vision requires Time. Time to grow, time to bud, time to blossom. So many start out every journey with a great zeal that can light up a city, but on the way, certain factors creep in and events change. Distraction steals the show and the vision changes.
You can never get to the land of achievement when you walk in haste. Slowly but surely if you face your game. The role model you're looking at didn't get up that ladder in one day. If you could get chanced to hear some stories, you may end up not praying for their kind of journey.
While on your own journey to Greatness, follow your own path, that's the only way that leads to your success story.
Rome wasn't built in one day, allow Events, Nature and Life play their cause. It may be slow, just keep walking, keep moving.

GIVING TO YOURSELF. ..

Giving is no doubt one salutary act we all need to engage in. Givers never lack, we all hear. 
I sit and ponder over all these and i discover many of us fail our bodies, soul and Self to this cliché. Yes we should give, but at what cost or costs?
     Religion makes it worse sometimes, I have no hesitation to Giving; based on our religious beliefs, but where I ask questions is do we give at the detriment of some crucial and important things. I've met people who'd give religiously before seeing to their home front needs. "Faith" we call it.... hmm.... not bad.
    How many of us take out that 'Me--Time' and give quality time and gifts to ourselves?  I am as well guilty of this,  and I know many of us are. You have time for the kids, time for In-laws, time for religion, time for work and more, but that time for ourselves seem out of view.
        Isn't this why fulfillment is far from our souls  sometimes. We have a lot and seek for more like Zacheaus; people see you a little less than what exactly you are.
  Self discovery is the starting point. When you give,  before and after you give, start determining to give yourself a little 'something' , no matter how small.
Let's learn to spoil ourselves a little,  just a little. The people we give a lot and most of our time, things, emotions etc to are actually doing more self pampering than we know sometimes.
One of what makes us better individuals is self satisfaction, when you are happy with yourself, you will most definitely be happy with others and life as a whole .
If you don't have it, you can't give it.... What's not in you can't come out of you.
Give give but give to yourself too.....
Get a 'me-time' and look within to be better without.
