“The journey of a somnambulant is seldom predicated by the decisions made when totally conscious.”
Well, somnambulance is a noun defined from the verb ‘somnambulate’ – to walk while asleep.
My metaphorical rhetoric is based on our cognitive processes and the results we strive to achieve while walking through life’s journey. Therein, I ask the question, often what is our chief purpose? Napoleon Hill addressed this notion and appropriately published notable lectures and guides as to how to amass wealth not by tirelessly toiling but by ‘thinking’ and then ‘applying’ the knowledge attained.
Often times I have been faced with the constant query as to what I am actually created to fulfill. The response is as clear as mud. I am a steward while on this earth. Opportunity knocks every day and as Thomas Alva Edison stated, “Opportunity is missed by most because it is comes dressed in overalls and looks like work!”
Powerful statement…yet that is the truth for the 95% that despise where the wealth of the land resides in. Now I am not chastising anyone that works hard for their paycheck and is diligent about how they carry their day-to-day affairs. I am merely stating that even I have succumbed in more than one occasion to the temptation to just sit back and ‘pray’ that the ‘RIGHT’ opportunity will present itself.
I implore any scientist to research and let me know when in history has a gazelle laid in front of a lion and said, “King of the jungle, I present myself wholly and ready to be devoured by you.”
Have we become so retracted to just sit back and expect hand-outs or big billboards pointing at opportunities?
The time has come for us to stop sleep walking during the day and take hold of our futures. Allowing someone else to determine our cost of living is not an option anymore especially when we have the ability to change that. Everyone is responsible for “minding their own business!”
Your business is anything that you participate in which contributes to your direct disposition. We spend too much time worrying about other people’s perception about us yet we have not taken the time to correct the perception we hold of ourselves. How do you expect to be treated if you don’t accord yourself the same honor? You can’t expect genuine love if you cannot genuinely love the person who stares back when you stand alone in front of the mirror!!!
Forget not, God’s promises are made perfect in our weaknesses, insecurities, short-comings which are really not short-comings as long as they are pitted against societies designations.
