At times, in my secret place when no one is watching, I push
my tummy out and pretend you are there, I talk to you, because in my heart I believe
you are listening. Insane others may say, but not at all for me, cause I know
that every word I speak, one day I will see the fruits therefof.So let me speak
to you my dear child, let mama tell you one of the greatest lessons I recently
learned and wish to share with you, which I believe will help you as you try
and make sense of world and your place and purpose in it.
If there is one thing that I will drill into your head from the
time your mind can comprehend, is that you can be anything that you want to be.
You see my love, all my life I desired to be on TV, not for fame but I believed
and still believe that media is one of the greatest mediums, which can be used
constructively when placed in the right hands. But because of external
pressures I began to down play my dream, because in a home of academic and high
achievers being on TV is seen as aiming
low and ambitionless.
It’s painful my love, to live in the shadow of others , to
try and impress people who will never really be impressed by you, and who will
later not be there to assist when their expert advice on the “best career path
“fails dismally. So If asked what I know now, that I wish I knew then, I would
wish that I trusted and listened to my inner voice more than the opinions of
others.
I look back though, at times with regret but also with
gratitude because I see now that they are certain lessons that can only be
learned through the fire. And maybe all that I have been through is to teach
you you, not to go down the similar path, not to make the same mistakes, and if
you make them, to know that I am here to walk you through it all. So my love,
when you know what you want in life, stick to the convictions of your heart,
let nothing down play your dream, not
even you, There is no bar, you will have as far as your eyes can see.
Even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
