Life is beautiful...2
I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish… I wish…. I wish… I wish… I wish…. I wish….
I wish I know what I know today but I’m younger…
I wish I’m still in my teens…
I wish I’m still in my early 20’s….
Do you identify with that?
Think twice! What was life as a teenager or early 20’s?
For me, I remember having fears, inferiority complex and feelings of inadequacies…. Fine, I was born again and into God’s word, but I was still full of struggles…. I wanted to do several things, look good, be sexy, turn heads…. I used to read a lot, but nothing seemed to be able to quench my fundamental desires…. To compound things, I didn’t have a voice of my own because my Aunts, Uncles and elder siblings wanted to put me in the right direction….
Then I remember when I was in my early twenties. I was so full of myself and wasn’t willing to change…. I thought I had arrived, I thought I knew it all…. I wasn’t keen to imbibe other peoples’ opinion because ‘I was capable’…. My understanding of life was warped. Like the Dead Sea, I felt good with myself, I wanted more but I didn’t want to change. How wrong I was!
Now I’ve grown older, and I’ve realised there is more to life.
Now I’ve grown older, and I understand that even if I desire and long all day long, it is not possible to reverse time. How Sad!
Still being a teenager would have been a struggling Olajumoke.
Still being in my twenties would have been an ignorant Olajumoke.
Now I’ve grown…!
Now I live a satisfied live…Now I’ve learnt to enjoy life...
Life holds more meaning, Life is beautiful and Life is fulfilling!
I don’t want to go back, I want to move forward.
I want to see more, do more, bless more and achieve more.
If ‘Today’s Note’ started when I was 26 year, only God knows what being 40 years holds for me (if Christ tarries). I CAN WAIT TO BE 30,…40,…50,…60…70 years.
Instead of being miserable looking back, I accept who I am and what God has done for/in me and revel in it. I embrace each year, I embrace ageing.
I advise you to do the same, Life Is Beautiful….
Love, Janmo!
