THIS IS ME

This is Me. Can you see me? I’m over here.

Born into the world, in a corner of the earth,

I don’t even know where I am.

Into a rich or poor family, I cannot say.

Peaceful region or a war zone, I have no idea.

Whether a palace or a prison, I have no clue.

I came into this world empty handed;

I have nothing to play with but have everything to play for.

Actually, I came with a few things:

My genes, talents and gifts; and a destiny to fulfil.

And soon thereafter, I became more aware,

There are so many opportunities around me.

One minute I had nothing, the next I had many choices.

What am I supposed to do now?

I can’t just fold my arms and do nothing.

I must engage with life. But ‘With what?’ I asked.

With my abilities and strengths, using my God-given talents.

The world is full of challenges requiring solutions,

I have to develop usable skills, and improve myself.

I have to meet people’s needs and solve problems.

I have all the time in the world, 24 hours every day.

But I realise that time waits for no one.

I need to start moving and get on with life.

My time is my life; I must use it wisely.

Life is full of times and seasons, time must not just go by.

I cannot afford to procrastinate or prevaricate.

With my Talents, Abilities and Skills,

I must take advantage of Opportunities of a lifeTime.

I have everything to succeed.

I live on TOAST. This is ME.
