Day 343 of wisdom
“I am a great believer that you had to do everything you've done to have got to where you are.”
Bill Bryson
Getting to where you are today is not by accident or chance, it has taken the gradual process of living the way you have lived to get you to the point you are today. Good or bad, your actions and inactions have brought you to the place you now find yourself today. In life, what you sow is what you reap, never think you can sow negatives and reap positives, never believe you can sow evil and reap good. If you are experiencing a good life today, your deeds and acts of yesterday are obvious.
There is a path that leads to every destination, the path you thread takes you to its own destination, whether you are pleased by that destination or not. We are most times not privileged to know what is ahead of us, we do not know where we are headed, but we always have signs giving us a clue as to where we might possibly end the journey we have embarked on. If we do not like the signs we see, if they are not pointing us towards the direction we desire, we can always change our course.
Steve Jobs in his commencement speech delivered at Stamford in 2005 said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." A similar quote by Søren Kierkegaard says “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” You may not understand why you have to pass through some of the things you are passing through today, but eventually some day in the future it will be clear why it was so.
As much as so many unexplainable circumstances may rise in our day to day living which may lead us to some kind of unexpected favour, breakthrough and success, we must endeavour to live our lives based on the visions we have for our future, we must lead a purposeful life, and be conscious of where we are headed. In everything you do always ask yourself if what you are doing is taking you in the direction of your dreams or otherwise. What you did yesterday have gotten you where you are today, what you do today will take you to where you should be tomorrow, so do well.
