WORRY....YAY OR NEIGH????

So i worry, sometimes, okay maybe alot. But everyone worries right? About the future, about tomorrow, about money and family. So much to worry about yet so little time to do anything about it. We spend time thinking, planning, strategizing about current and future events. It's interesting to note how much we worry about a future we don't know if we will see. About tomorrow that we are not assured of, This post is a reflection of all the friends that i have lost in the past few years, how their loss was unexpected, sudden, unplanned for. Loss especially of a loved one is really hard to deal with, it is confusing and leaves more questions than answers. Sometimes you are left with regret, the fact that you never got to say goodbye or spend that date you kept planning over the phone. The procrastination eats you and turns into guilt because you know you had a chance to say goodbye but you thought you had time so instead you pushed and pushed until they were no more. The news struck you so hard and you could barely hold back your tears as you were told over the phone. Then you realize that date you really were planning to have isn't going to happen. So why worry?Instead do. Worry is most times associated with fear, so what are you afraid of? Let me borrow some advice i heard over the radio today, that which you are afraid of,do it. And from experience it does bring peace. Worry is a prison that just chains you without much achievement. It holds you from achieving and believing in yourself. Don't worry just believe. So why worry while you can pray???

So instead of worrying about the future enjoy the present, your current situation is worth more than a future you don't know about.

THE REVOLUTION

 We were having a discussion the other day with my family about social media and all this kinds of cool technology that are coming up.My dad was basically complaining that i'm on my phone too much and my cousin is always on the laptop. Which got me thinking,is the essence of social media to bring us together in terms of communication or does it pull us apart from the people that are right there in front of us?I won't lie to you once am on my phone it's like am in other world and with my nocturnal friends whom i love very much, i can sleep very late just chatting and literally say nothing to mum or dad who is sitted on the couch right there next to me.We are ever on skype,tweeting,changing our status on Facebook and basically posting on instagram which is my current addiction but does it leave us ignoring the world around us???I was on a road trip the other day with my friends and they were joking that if an accident was to happen i would definitely be on instagram first posting photos about it and tweeting rather than informing the authorities.However if you seriously think about it that is who we have become, a society enslaved by technology.Am not saying technology is bad it's actually amazing but when will we learn to say stop and put boundaries?When was the last time you sat down with your family and actually found out how they are doing??Put away your phone and just sat down and had a face to face conversation with the person seated right next to you.Are we a generation that does not put emphasis on human contact while in real sense it's all we ever need to feel okay.Maybe the world needs a little bit more real hugs and less emoticons.A little bit more of real smiles than smiley faces on a screen.Come out from your cocoon of social media and connect with the real world,we need you.
