THE poison that we, as human beings, continue to feed ourselves with is the perception that there is still time.
This kind of thinking is actually the reverse of the reality that we live in.
A powerful expression that has been overstated is “time waits for no man”.
The unfortunate thing about many people is that they wait on time. Intangible things are what we try to touch, but at this point, it is not about trying to catch it and sit on it, but about utilising it to its maximum.
Procrastination is an art manufactured in the minds of the youth. We dream about achieving, but never use the resources which are before us to help make those thoughts come true.
Why look at the West for prosperity when the ticket to success is right in front of you? As much as postponing feels nice, the consequences can result in you failing to excel.
It is true “mukombe unotanga kurema wasvika”, but we should ask ourselves how we have made it this far.
If our ancestors had that mentality, the world would never have been what it is today.
Greatness would have never been achieved and discoveries would have never been made.
What you do now determines what you are going to be in the future. So my question to you is, what are you doing now to shape your tomorrow?
