STEP BACK TO LOOK FORWARD

·        QUICK THOUGHT:STEP BACK TO LOOK FORWARD
-So u’ve made mistakes,big deal who hasn’t?!
-What’s done is done,time to move on
-It’s a lot to  take when the past comes flashing back,but it’s never to late to flashforward.


·         LYRICAL TOUCH:AFTERMATH(ADAM LAMBERT)
“Have you lost your way,living in the shadows of the messes that you made
And so it goes everything in your circle starts to overflow
Take a step before you leap into the colours that you seek
You’ll get back what you give away
So don’t look back on yesterday
Wanna scream out,no more hiding
Don’t be afraid of what’s inside
Gonna tell you you,ll be alright in the Aftermath”

“It’s not too late
Think of what can be if you rewrite the role you play”



Every time I hear this song,it gives me an ummph…the kind that makes you want to believe in the impossible,the kind that sort of tells you that the worst of your mistakes only need a little bit of fixing , that things will be all bright again and that the sun will shine again, IN THE AFTERMATH!!Maybe Adam meant something else singing this song,but that’s how I get it,and it speaks straight to my soul.
“Don’t be afraid of what’s inside”  we all go through things and at times we may not be so proud of what we see in ourselves or how messed up our lives can get but won’t kill us to take a step back to see  what really caused us to make those mistakes.Truth of the matter is,the deed is done but avoiding past experiences can be the easiest thing to do simply by:KNOW WHAT YOU DID,ACCEPT WHAT YOU DID AND NEVER REPEAT WHAT YOU DID!!

But hey…am not saying it’s the simplest thing to do,by far it’s the most dreadful and I’ll tell it to you upfront.Am speaking from experience here,fear Is the worst enemy to anything that’s why for all of us we fear  not looking back and not taking a chance on creeping through the shadows of our mistakes.But today I got a remedy for that,works like magic and definitely WORKS!!!

If living in the past scares you,if remembering your past haunts you,if you can’t get over the past ……..time to stop!!!
Ever heard that saying,when you want something with all your hear you gotta go out there and get it?? Well……that’s it!!!Step back from the shadows and take a leap to a clearer world,the world that you want to live and the world that makes you happy.Just take a hold of your life and the One who gave it to you knew what He wanted it to be for you,”so don’t look back on yesterday” and “ rewrite the role you play”

So the aftermath for you will be one you’ve made and one that lets you know that there’s nothing that can keep you from rising once you’ve fallen.We all need some time down ‘there’ to realize how ‘up there’ really feels like.

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares?????  example of  wise words that I have ignored  a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for  inspirational gurus fixed on creating  bestselling  mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a  "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto.  I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was  recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever  change my life.I have  no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got  on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i  missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am  able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

Totally offside!

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush  this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft  spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of  all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...
