You see what you feel better than you feel what you see. I know it sounds ludicrous and somewhat confusing, but the truth is ….your action today is a product of yesterday’s imagination…a creation of last week’s thought…and maybe a reaction to what you saw last month.
We dream everyday. We wish everyday. We crave everyday….for those things we see in the dead of the night as we lay selflessly in the comfort of our beds…snoring away, oblivious of the sequence of time…ignorant of the activities that take place without our authorization.
Sometimes the mind works harder than the hand, cos we see ourselves doing greater things than we’re currently doing. This sometimes forms the premise for our prayers, our faith. We think to ourselves, “is this actually what God wants me to do? Is this who I really am?
That teenage girl with leukemia walks around as though she’s got a “sickness free” card, simply because she was told to ignore her ailment, and pretend to live a normal life. Her fate was already revealed to her. She has but a little while to stay alive.
So why is she always happy? Why does she chuckle when whispered to? Why does she still say “i will live long to declare his goodness”? …what goodness, if i may ask? Is it the type that ignores the fact that people still want to have you around them for a very long time?
I’ll tell you what keeps her happy, always.
She still has dreams that are not bound by health status. One thing that keeps her strong and alive is that which she sees with the eyes of her heart…that which she sees when she gazes into the skies, with her eyes shut.
She doesn’t seek for a miracle…she doesn’t wish the pains in her bones to seize…because the strength to live doesn’t lie in the potency of the bones.
It’s very easy to build castles in the air…it’s very easy to see ourselves owning empires and fleets of cars in our minds…it’s even easier for us to right down a list of a billion things we wish we had…and a few things we wish we didn’t have.
Some of us dream big. Some of us create preposterous images in our mind. They can come to pass only when we believe…if we believe and work towards them.
You can see a harvest in your mind, without having a hoe in hand.
Getting reality to meet our desires is one difficult task that cannot be solved mathematically.
Keep dreaming big. Keep working hard(er). You might just build that castle in the air…and I mean it, literally!!!
But don’t be lost in your fantasies….snap back to reality, once in a while, lol
