Beyond Now




Right now, some things matter, some do not.

Beyond now, some things will matter, some never will. Time is of great essence they say. When used well, life is enriched. This moment is the time you have waited for. The time you have now is the tomorrow you expected yesterday. This moment connects you with Now. It connects you to your tomorrow. It also connects you with later. Live in the present but see the picture of your tomorrow in your mind’s eyes.

Identify what matters and stick to it. What you do or do not do will make a difference someday. The little steps you take today will make you advance in life or keep you several years behind. The new things you learn today and put in good use will keep you relevant and dust away staleness.

Beyond now. What will matter?

In most parts of the world, the month of May begins with 'workers day' holiday. There is dignity in labour they say and this is because workers (taxpayers) expectedly contribute to the GDP of every country alongside entrepreneurs’.

The take-home-pay could indeed take one home and provide the bare necessities of life. One could see how little activities in the work place added up to the bigger picture and goal of the t...

Image
  As October 2017 begins to roll into history, I lend my voice to celebrate every girl child on the surface of the globe. She comes like a gift wrapped in beauty and grace with her potentials carefully enclosed in her buds. Her birth may not have been announced. Yet, like the bud of a rose flower, she blossoms and lets out innocent fragrance to a waiting world. Roses come in lovely shades of White, Pink, Red, Orange, Lavendar, Purple, Yellow, Blue, Yellow and Green. Likewise, the adolescent girl. She comes in various shades and colours. Packed with potentials and possibilities. Her relevance lies in her virtue and inner strength. Not in wanton desires. Her uniqueness lies in her innermost beauty, not in vanity. Her future is filled with hope, not just glitz. The power of the adolescent girl is unimaginable! She is the treasure of the unborn generation. The gold mine that must be tapped for a better world.

We are moving house…

Growing up, I enjoyed drawing and sketching sceneries. Somewhere along the line the passion went into extinction and later metamorphosed into writing. Anyway, I thought I should let you know my new address, so you can stop by and comment. The excitement of the new house made me sketch my childhood picture of a farm house for you. Please feel free to open the door www.theinspiredpreneur.com ,  walk right in and stay inspired all through 2018. Yippee!
