THE PHOENIX AND US....

Lately i have discovered the striking relevance of the life of a phoenix to that of our own.you see in life we go through many things hat put us down,brak our spirit,put us in anguish and kill our hope. At times we get so weary of the things wego through such that we start to drift through life instead of living it to the fullest. we keep taking ourselves back to what happened and we never let go of things.
life is never in the past, it is here now and in the uture. we can learn an important lesson from ou see, after the phoenix has lived life for a number of years and its body has undergone the tough life and it becomes weak, the phoenix burns itself and rises from its ashes after which it continues to live longer in a much stringer way. it keeps doing this for it to keep living otherwise it dies.
in much the same way, we should live life letting go of the things that hurt us,those that deny us life. We should 'burn' them like the phoenix does to itself so that we may live life as it should be lived.
we need to walk with our shoulders raised, our spirits high, our smiles beaming with abundance. we need to grasp the fullness of the moment lest we wake up one day and realize just how much of life we have wasted, we need to get up and keep going whenever we fall down. When life seems to get the better of us, when it seems to outlive us, lets 'burn' the ashes and rejuvenate from it.Lets build from the things that attempt to break us,the things that want to kill us,for it is those things that a man overcomes that maake him great.
Things will come and bring us down but like the phoenix, lets rise and livefrom our ahes so that we may enjoy life and become greate. Never stay down.....

KEEP RUNNING.....

every day a gazelle wakes up and it knows it has to run faster than the lion or else it will be caught by the lion, be eaten and die. on the other hand a lion wakes up every morning knowing it has to outrun the gazelle or else it will have no food to eat, then it will starve and finally die. these two animals wake up to completely different destinies but the road is the same, they have to run to stay alive.it is worth to note that the two animals are almost equal in their running ability considering they are equipped differently.
human beings are much like these animals in a rather realistic sense. we all have dreams and achievements to make. we wake up knowing that we have to chase those dreams as hard as we can in order to attain them or else they will die and remain just that-a dream.just like the two different animals we all have different directions and destinies but our goal remains the same, to live our dreams. it does not matter which animal you are or you choose to be your goal is remains to stay alive, the difference is in how you do it, the resources available, the talent you have, the skills you have, the motivation you have, the tactics you use and the individualism in you.
just like the two animals we are all gifted differently, posses different opportunities and talents but God was fair enough to give us exactly what we needed to live our dreams.what we have within us is sufficient but just like the animals if we do not use what we have to the best of our ability,then our dreams will die.
it does not matter how you run or where you run to, just run, keep running with all your might towards your dream and keep it alive....
