If
you cannot lead life, then let others lead it, but ask yourself where will they
lead it.
We
have all been in situations where you are faced with a great challenge and
making a decision has always been hard and other people have always come in to
advice us and even sometimes, tell us what to do.
It
is important to understand that we do not think the same way, even those very
identical twins-why should you leave other people to decide for you. People
will always think for you, but should never decide for you.
I
was one time told of a story of a certain young man who happened to be the last
born in their home. He had almost all he needed during his high school. You just
can’t believe that he accepted his friends to mislead him to the extent that
now he is in a very deep depression where he might linger for the rest of his
life. During his time at senior five, his friends ill-advised him to join a group
of people who sacrifice relatives for riches. He accepted and he was taken to
Mombasa Kenya where he was directed on what to do.
First,
the people or spirits he found there led him to choose from his family to
sacrifice. He chose his mother but spirits refused saying that she was too holy
and that they could not manage to kill her. He was told to choose another
person. He chose his brother’s elder son but the spirits still refused that
they could not kill his brothers’ son. He was told to choose another person. He
chose his sister who he follows and the spirits fully accepted. He was given a
knife to put across the throat, but he refused saying “ I cannot kill my
sister” As he narrated the story, he
could not tell out what transpired next since he was in a state that he could
not understand. The only thing he remembers is that he found himself locked in
Malaba Uganda in a certain room where his friends left him and took off. From
that time, he has been to churches and churches, but no difference, he has
married woman after woman, but they hardly stay. His education was ruined,
because the sponsors he had withheld their money. From that time he has never
had a settled life, he keeps saying that he always sees people in white along
the road and they keep talking and calling him.
If
he had led his life, where do you think he would be by now, what position do
you think he would be holding now? Let’s learn to better know our destiny, what
we want and know how we can get it. We are rational animals capable of thinking
and making prudent decisions. Let’s not doom our future. Stick to your
principle and work for the betterment of your life and tomorrow you will be a
happy person.
