Take Out The Trash

Like any other college kid is, I happen to be a really great fan of movies. I remember in my freshman year copying movies from a "privileged" friend and going to watch it on my very first android phone. Anyone who grew from this part of the world where owning a computer is for the chosen few knows exactly where to find the Vlc Beta Version App that can run on Android devices. One of the things that you will be a witness of, at some point the disk space on your phone or laptop alerts you it's running low. If you trust your machine so much, you ignore these warnings as one of those "Windows Spams". Of course you wanna keep that movie that you love so much.
Unfortunately, reality strikes you when you are trying to add a new movie into your storage but then it shows a "no enough space" message and won't take in any new movie. This is where you sadly delete your beloved movie and then you take in the new stuff.  We turn our beloved movie into trash and throw it in the bin.
Life is just like that storage. Sometimes we carry too much trash with us, stuff that we have passed through, stuff that other people made us pass through as well as past good and beautiful memories, that there is no more space for better things. For most people, they turn to collectors and inside them is buried bitterness that they can't anymore stand happiness. Some carry so much fear of the past of what happened to them that they can no more trust anyone even if they mean good. Sometimes you got to forget for you to progress. Stop being stuck on that happening that happened to you long ago, no. In you can be deposited gems of being the CEO, but you fear so much the company owner is after exploiting you. In you are diamonds of being the next biggest musician, but you have held so much hatred against the DJs who don't play your music simply because you ain't big enough that even when you are big you can't trust they will play you. In you are sands of being the next President of the Students union, but you have held on to people that are out to destroy the administration through cheap politics that the students even can't trust you. In you is a book, but the kind of bitterness you unleash through your words makes it never to become a best seller.

It's time to throw the rubbish in the bin. It's time to let go the past happenings that you may receive new things. Just like you delete the old movies with the hope that the next ones will be better, release the things that are keeping you fro ever receiving better things. You are blessed and highly capable. Just create space in you for better things. Yeah, the bad memories of the people may feel sweet to recount as you tell the story to other people,(just like it is fun to explain a movie to a friend that has not watched it) but at the end of the day, you are left hurting with no space in you to load new and better things.

Will you please do me that one favor as we end this 3rd quarter of the year? TAKE OUT THE TRASH.
I know you are great, I just need you to do yourself that favor for me.

The Window Closes So Fast

Everyday when we watch the news, when we look on people's updates on twitter, when we comment on people's posts on facebook, when all instagram reminds us are memories we had, we are left wondering, why does life end so fast yet without alerting us? We cry, grief and mourn those loved ones we have lost. They leave a gap in our lives that nothing can fill. But there is one important thing that life reminds us during these moments. "We Are Sojourners Here, What Legacy Will We Leave Behind?"
Everyday one or two people close to us are gone. We ought to ask ourselves, I may be next, am I ready to go?
Once we realize that every moment we live draws us closer to the day when we will be gone and gone forever, we gain a sense of urgency in life. We gain a sense of living each day and night like it is our last one. We gain a sense of giving our best in all we do and giving to the world like we will never again be around.
Take a minute and think, if today you were called to judgement, are you ready? Have you given all you came to give to this world. If it's a book you were writing, begin today even if you do not get to know how you will ever publish it. If it's doing your music, get to write it even if you don't know when you will ever get money to record. It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have it than to have the opportunity and not be prepared.
In life you live only once. Live. If living is all you gotta do, why not? And in that living if serving humanity and giving answers to the world is all you gotta do, why not? Begin now. Yes, I want you to stop saying I will do it tomorrow and do it today. Today is the only day you have to make it happen in your life. You can not predict what tomorrow brings, tomorrow will have it's own plan, live today.
Get busy living.
