MAKING MOVES

There I was standing, looking over the horizon with a deep feeling of contentment and satisfaction . Gazing at the night sky, taking in the fresh air and exhaling deeply. reminiscing over the past few days , the pressure felt , hurdles overcomed and the refreshing feeling of victory was really ethereal .. what i call SENSATIONAL.

For a while now I've had this feeling of being stucked.. wanting to advance but don't know how to and what to do . Being caught in a web of confusion, faced with a dilemma and questioning one's progress.

Over the years, I've come to realize that the word PROGRESS is subjective.. in other words, it is perceived differently and seen from various perspectives but mostly rated by societal standard's. But then, the most important assessment of progress should come from oneself. The ability to look back to whom you where before either financially, mentally , socially, Educationally etc and compare to your present being will reflect how much progress you must have made..But do well to remember, assessing ones progress bores down to priorities .

It's most likely that most individuals out there must have been in similar situations at a time in their lives, while some are presently experiencing it as I write this piece, with others yet to gain experience. But one thing I do believe is that...there comes a time in every man's life when he's faced with questioning his life's progress even if subconsciously.

The thirst to advance yet unsure of which part to take, the urge to hasten results yet uncertain of the aftermath, afraid of disrupting the healthiness of your current pace and the zeal & spirit to make moves but scared of the unknown, conforming to a thought line,WHAT IF? ...

A great man once said

you never know what might happen until you make an attempt.

In other words, life happens. most times producing ripple effect , attesting to cause and effect . no matter how much thoughts planned out, with or without odds being in your favor, things might just likely turn out unexpectedly even contrary to your thoughts but only and only if a move is made .

I can recall vividly the other day, due to power outage in my area I had to charge my phone in a neighbouring store whose light was on due to Fuel Generator. At the time I took the phone out to charge, people were already there charging. All spaces seemed filled up from where I looked from a distance, incuring the thought of going back to my house, doubting the possiblity of securing a spot due to the crowd. But then, a thought probed me to making a go for it if I could successfully charge or not but at least I attempted it .. surprisingly, the moment i walked in seeking a spot, a fellow just took his phone out probably filled up and left leaving an opening for me.

There and then it occurred to me that if I had not made a move, I might not have been opportuned to get a space without me doing anything In particular. Judging from my previous intuition, I might have just gone home thinking it's impossible considering the crowd. But against all odds, I was opportuned to charge cause of a single move by coming in .

Applicably to life, things may surprisingly fall in place against odds for you but then it all comes to making moves. Doing makes the difference, affecting the situation and creating ripples . It's funny though how despite your apathy to things around you doesn't stop them from affecting you. it's either you act or you are acted upon. Pushed around by life because at the end of the day it's either we take deliberate and intentional actions to influence or we are being influenced.
