December 6th saw the death of a man, a man whose name is synonymous with greatness, a man who fought for his people, a man of inspiration, a noble man. The whole world mourn for this giant, countries, presidents, celebrities and more, all dropping an eulogy of praise and memoirs of a life well lived. Then I looked at myself and asked, 'what will I be remembered for?' How many people will stand by and say, ‘she was that and she did that’?
Let us look inside our inner being, asking the same question. A life worth celebrating is a life worth living, how many people can firmly stand and blow that trumpet of praise for you. Success and greatness are all we dream about but how many people work towards it? So many people never had the opportunity to see or interact with this giant but his name has been etched in the sand of time and in the words we will talk about.
Challenge yourself today, live a virtuous life, help someone others, start somewhere and you just might end up making a whole lot of difference in people life. A great man once said ' if today you have not done something different, something new, you are a day behind and am so sure nobody wants to see tomorrow with today's mistake. We could try being the next great thing for the world to see, is all about looking inside, searching deep in your heart, tapping from our source of greatness to make a difference for ourselves and people around us. Like our elders say ' some were born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. Whatever category we fall in, let us leave a life worth talking about, worth celebrating, a life to be remembered for something tangible, something worthwhile...
