Rise and Shine!

Wake up, you only have 24 hours a day —just like everyone else, Mark Zuckerbag, Donald Trump, Patrice Motsepe, DJ S’bu, like anyone else really. Waiting for the sun in order to wake up is like waiting for the future, failing to recognize that TODAY is the future you spoke about yesterday. The sun will find you few minutes if not, which I sturdily esteem, hours ahead of your errands. 

  

It’s a new day, yes —the future we’ve been all waiting for, a new day presenting us with possibilities. It’s a day you said you’ll paint a mark that will live to tell the tale. It’s a story that shall never elapse, that shall never fade.

You’re the writer of a story that will serve as a manual for success and inspire the next generation to engineer a better world.  

WAKE UP!

Don’t you dare set “snooze time-out” on your alarm, you decreed the alarm to wake you at six, and it is your time to wake up, not five past six. KICK those blankets, it’s time to shine, don’t be fooled by the “dreamland.”

Time is inestimable to be wasted, it can never be regained. Your slothfulness is delaying your greatness. Your greatness lurks materialisation. 

 

The world is waiting for you —you’re the star you see in your role-model. The world awaits your involvement that will correct the socio-economic and bring about pleasurable change. You’re in this earth for a purpose. Do you know your purpose? If not, perhaps then it’s time you wake up and try to find out what’s your purpose. Everyone else has one; we’re all here to offer our contribution. 

What’s your schedule? 

Despondently, it so appears that some individuals fail to wake up due to the mere fact that they perhaps have not anything to do. You’ve just completed your matric, I’d like to think, you’re not registered with any of the higher institutions of learning —unfortunately but not all hopes are lost- and neither do you have any commitments beside waking up and looking for a pot of tea.

For you, there’s no need to wake up early —gods please help your disorientated child. That’s the problem. Your problem is that you have zilch to do. Perhaps it’s time you sit down for a deep self-introspect and maybe uncover what to do, what you stand for, what makes you tick for Jacob’s sake? 

How do you spend your 24 hours? What’s on your schedule, what are your priorities? Do you even have any?

You can either whine or grumble about not having anything to do, or find something to do. If there’s so many excuses for one not to wake up to take up the world, bringing about a change which you so desire, then why not utilise that energy into something positive and further find reasons why you should wake up and begin to work on your lifetime plan.

Rise and shine to take on the world. The day you realise that the antagonist is within you, it is the day your greatness will manifest. You are the enemy that is holding you back. Your fears, disbeliefs, doubts and timidity are holding you back. They, unfortunately, seem to be in control of your life, and you come second. The day you decide to break-away from those shackles that are keeping you mentally-incarcerated, it’s the day you’ll start to shine.

So rise and shine.
