Every society, community, village, city, state, country, tribe, color and race needs just one person who would look out of the box to bring a lasting revolution. Yes, a lasting revolution! It was a lasting revolution that Martin Luther King Jr. gave the people of America when he made one of the most popular and powerful speech summed up as “I have a dream”. That dream of his was fulfilled when Barrack Obama became president of the United States of America.
We live in a world where majority tends to be normal. Most people want to live, work and put food on the table. I dislike hearing people say “I have to put food on the table”. God in His greatness can’t create you: the pinnacle of His Creatures to just “put food on the table”. You are too much for that. This present world needs people who will look within and burst out of the everyday “box” of life. Joseph of the holy bible saw something his father and brothers did not see. With the use of his gift which is the interpretation of dreams, he burst out of the normalcy box of life. Joseph became an immediate celebrity. He paved the way for his entire household to access the royal territory of the Egyptian kingdom.
Do not imprison yourself to the custom, tradition, religion, culture and belief of your community. See beyond, see far. Look within. You’ve got gifts, potentials and abilities to launch you into the wider world. Stop running helter-skelter, what you are looking for is in you. Find it, furnish it and serve it to your world. Be the light to your community and society. Shine brightest; don’t ask if it is possible. The fact that you were able to make it through your mother’s womb is a proof that no impossibility can stand in your way.
Amidst racism and sheer apartheid, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela looked beyond the harsh colonial masters and saw freedom all over the land. He exerted his inner strength coupled with 27 years imprisonment and the rest is history. He gave his country what he saw outside the “box” that nobody else was able to perceive.
What are you giving the world? What would “mother earth” remember you for? What you are looking for is never lost, it’s in you. Your society, community, village, city, state, country, tribe, color, race and destiny depend on it.
Never settle for the “normal life” majority settles for. If you do, your great grand children won’t know you ever walked the earth’s surface. You have all it takes to make the positive difference your family, community, society, state, country and world yearns for. Look in and burst out of the box. Get heard! The universe can’t wait.
