Its 9.00pm and I happen to be at home (strange event), but rather than sleep, \i am typing this. Funny thing is, it wont be up till tommorrow... Read up on some blogs I folow (miss jones, goodnaijagirl, dairyofalostone...) and couldnt help having a fantastic time. I love blogging, okay maybe, I love reading other people's thoughts more. But whatever it is, I have found joy in something. That is the moral of today's philosophy.
Many people go through life missing out on the real essense of living. You are here to mark the earth, put your print in the sands of time, take your pick, foot or hand or mouth. Whatever it is, you uare meant to do it in a special way, the you way. That is the way that no one else can ever do it - painting, writing, blogging, consulting, marketting, advocacy, whatever! Ussually, when we hear stuff like this, our minds go to the big stuff - saving Darfur! Touring the world! Winning Wilmbeldon! Writing a world changing thesis! We seldom forget that the folks who have achieved any of these things started with the small things. I am going a bit ahead of myself here...
Little things, when summed up together nicely, make the big stuff. So to get the big things done,you have to start with the little things. And cos they are little, folks ussually dont enjoy being involved with small stuff, except ofcourse they find pleasure in them. Which is the point of my long epistle, by the way. Enjoying the small things. Like writing on this blog (yes, you too can drop your comment), like reading another's blog (ok, you are doing that already), like taiing time to appreciate the precious free gifts in life, like luaghing at the silliest things, like writing a thorough report for your boss 9for this one, you have to start from loving your job!), like saving some time to be human in this crazy world!
The truth is, there aint no big thing any where! Sorry to burst your bubble, but the big stuff are thos little stuff that got people's attention or changed the world. Einstein's discoveries must have been to him, little stuff he loved to play with. Look what its become todat...
Summary? Take pleasure inn something. Start by finding out what you love, then do it with all your heart, then get better at doing it, then sit back, relax, and watch it grow. Eeeerrrmmm... while you wait,.... find something else to do!
Ciao!
