2015’s GIFT.

Happy Boxing Day. When I was young, we used to celebrate this day in Church and that’s actually where it started: gifts were put into a box and the box was opened the day after Christmas. That’s what birthed Boxing Day.

While I was taking my bath I went to my box to bring out what made 2015 a remarkable year. Here are a few things I remember:

God. God is a gift that makes things beautiful. The sad thing is not everyone has that gift. 

Process. It’s the ability to be look into what you went through and stand out or come out as a conqueror without any regret because it leads to an end with maximum profit. It’s very difficult but with the help of the right people things will be easier.

Friends. They determine how far you go in life. There are a few things you might even hide from your family members but you get to share with close buddies. It’s what they say to you that shapes you and if they are wise like mine, then you can call yourself blessed. Their limit is also your limit. If you don’t like it, then you have to find a new set of friends.

Direction. Speed on the wrong track is useless. If you’re not sure of what you’re doing, step out and get direction. If you don’t, then you’ll get tired of life.

Gratitude. Learn to appreciate all you have. It always doesn’t have to go the way you plan but remember that there was a time when you didn’t have all you have now. Life is a cycle; things can be down-side-up now but a time would come when you won’t remember it. So be grateful for each day, each moment and each experience.

Learning. Except you deceive yourself, there are many things you don’t know but you can learn if you are humble enough. The funniest thing is that you can learn from anyone or anything; it could be a child, a movie, an aged parent, the death of a loved one or the aproko manager  (nosy neighbour) living close to you. Just have an open mind always.

N.B Each day has it's own troubles. It's not as easy as it sounds.
