Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 51
Title: Will
Your Tomorrow Thank You For Your Actions Today?
In
one of my past broadcasts, I told you of the 65 year old man whom I met as he
was performing the job of "Pay loader" and whom I took up a
discussion with and in the process he told me his life story, which though
pathetic as it were, but is not really far fetched from the lives of many other
persons who suffered from deprivation and lack in their childhood due to
parental poverty but who out of sheer doggedness were able to extricate
themselves from the dangerous clutches of poverty and become who and what they
are today. I do not really like blaming people for past mistakes they had made
because for them it would be of no use as no 65 year old man would ever become
40 again no matter how hard he tries, but sometimes, I discuss these mistakes
so that others can learn from them; however the eternal challenge of mankind is
that even though history is replete with acts of men who bore themselves up by
the skin of their teeth but people still face those difficult conditions today and
easily give in and give up - man never learns from history- When we are young
we think that we know everything, we think that the world revolves around us
and cannot do without us, we think that we shall never get old that we shall
remain forever young and so we waste time jumping from one bathing suite to
another, from one disco hall to another, from one drinking spree to another,
from one sexual orgy to another and we call it "enjoyment" we work
and spend our resources enjoying the moment, we have no thoughts for tomorrow
and we make no provision for tomorrow after all the Good Book says "worry
not about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself". Oh yes I
concur of course with the Good Book because it also says "which amongst you
willing to build a house would not first know whether he has enough resources
to do so before commencement" (paraphrased) meaning that while the Good
Book advises men not to kill themselves with worry about tomorrow, it
encourages them to stock up what they need to work tomorrow. It is what you do
today that would make you not to worry about tomorrow. If you have eaten your
profit and capital, definitely you would worry about tomorrow; if you have not
farmed today, definitely there would be no food on your table tomorrow, if you
have not learnt a trade or a handwork today, definitely tomorrow will find you
struggling to survive. It is the seed you plant today, that will yield the
bountiful harvest of tomorrow. So what are you doing with your today? will your
tomorrow meet you happily because of your action today? Think about it. You can
create the future you want, it starts today. Make that your hand dirty with
soil and sand, learn that trade if you don't want to go to School; do the hard
work today, so that when tomorrow arrives, it will greet you with a beautiful
and very aromatic bouquet of flowers.
Until I come your way
