Damn too late

-


Alone on the sick bed, i laid helplessly, all I could think of was, "the end for me is here" how did I get to this point I thought to myself, I couldn't explain it. 

Unlike stories I've  heard  or movies I see, when someone is dying, in their last moments they have lots of people around them, friends family, loved ones but my own story seem to be different. 



 I was alone by myself, #chuckle I had always thought I'd be super old in my dying moment, all my hair would have turned gray and I'll have plenty people around me, after all I'm generous with money, the more I work and make money, the more I give out to those I think are in need. But unlike what I've been thinking my situation was "incongruous" I was married, I still had my parents hale and hearty, my siblings were very much alive, I also had kids of my own, but I was perplexed that at that very point of my life it became clear to me that despite all the people and things I thought I had and I could later bank on, I was just a lone ranger on a journey I shouldn't embark on alone. 

Then it dawned on me that I had placed money and materialistic satisfaction above every and any other thing or person, I had forgotten that relationships mattered, i felt like to lead a good life,  I had to chase money and be focused on chasing money alone, 


I went after money and didn't even realize that the so called love of my life, the woman I thought I would die for drifted  far away,to my kids I was an Alien, my family couldn't recognize me it was like I was a born workaholic, 

but life was far from ideal, at that point I wished I was flash and I can go back in time or more like Lee Min Ho in the movie The King Eternal Monarch, and right my wrongs, build those relationships I couldn't build, become  a husband to my beautiful wife, a father to my wonderful kids and a good son to my parents, but unfortunately it was too late for me, there's more to life than just making money and being generous with it, you need people, relationships are very important, don't be like me, lead a better life.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
