TALENT : THE WAY OF LIFE

We are all born with different gifts when we come into this world. With grandeur and without hostility, we share our gifts with the world, inspiring confidence in the hearts of many. Legends in history books have broken records and transformed themselves into franchises. We have learnt from them that we should never fear to showcase our talents to the world if at all we desire appreciation and glory from it.

From time immemorial, we have seen sportsmen and women rise to the occasion when everything is at stake. An example is Giannis Antentokoumpo, a basketball player who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. His greatness does not require a microscope to be observed. He is the epicenter of his team’s spirit and their gameplay is based on his movement. He is a pillar of hope to the team because he plays every game with vigour and undying patience. He is truly a legend in the making.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Most talented sportsmen have gotten into scandals and have fallen short of their glory. Many have hit rock bottom but only a few have managed to brush off their mundane nature and bounce back to the prime leagues. Tiger Woods is an exceptional pro in golf. At only the age of 18, he had more trophies more than other pro golfers. His talent was illuminated at the world stage but fame dug too deep in his head and his ego was propelled to the sky. As scandals piled up off the golf course, his game on the golf course began to deteriorate. Finally, he had pushed it too far and he got a career-threatening injury. The world began to slowly forget about him. Long after he was sort-of forgotten, he returned from the abyss of injury and won the golf Master’s competition. After a decade of self-discovery, he returned to his passion and showed us hid prowess.

Life has different processes much like the careers of artists and athletes. These people may face tragedy in a part of their lives where they lose a loved one and this motivates them to become better and morph into something greater. Joel Embiid lost his brother yet he did not let that weigh him down. He turned the pain into a blessing of change which enabled him to be dominant in the NBA. He currently plays for the Philadelphia 76-ers in the NBA. His story has taught many that no matter how low you fall, you can come back stronger. For every minor setback, there’s a major comeback.

“What an old man can see while seated, a young boy can’t see while standing on the tallest hill.” My father kept on iterating this Meru proverb from time to time in his lifetime. Wisdom comes with experience, failure with every attempt of chasing that goal until eventually you learn ways of finally achieving success. The odds may seem stacked against each and every single one of us, and most times they are. Where most give up, the few are kept by the allure that success is just one failure away. Mile by mile, inch by inch, people fight tooth and nail with the hope that breaking certain accolades will bring some fulfillment to them.   Do you believe in fate and destiny? Faith that something is destined to happen and belief that, despite the uncertain chronological order of events, the outcome might be something unearthly, more pleasant and rewarding. Murphy’s Law states that “If it can happen, it will happen.” This phrase puts emphasis on living your life and enjoying each m...

  WORKOUTS: AN ASSURANCE TO HEALTHY LIVING Working out is a form of art done for leisure and as a lifestyle for the improvement of the body; both physical and from a mental standpoint. Most people mistake healthy living in thought that it is only the food that a person digests. The poll on healthy living brought about the existence of vegans who take meat as an atrocity and may never devour it. Healthy living involves all sorts of things like what you feed on, the type of exercise you do daily and the amount of hours you sleep. The essence of working out is to boost the adaptability of the body to its environment and make it more mobile. Different sorts of foodstuffs have different uses in the body. Proteins are body-building foods; they are essential for maintenance and building of body tissues and muscle. Carbohydrates are energy-giving food; provide and store energy. Vitamins are protective foods in the body and have various uses in the body. Working out hardens the ...

LIFE'S CHANGING

  LIFE’S CHANGING   We are growing older ‘real-fast’. Times are changing. We all know that change is inevitable and that nothing lasts forever. Everything eventually has to morph into something else, something greater. Back then, when we used to be kids, life was so simple. Happiness was not a currency. All that mattered was going out to play games with your friends and watching the clock run down as you waited for your favorite show to commence. Happiness reign free in the air and the atmosphere was just pure bliss (Immaculate). Each day had its own highlights (Moments of boisterous activity). Growth is essential. No matter how much we try to avoid the changes we face in our daily lives, we have to cope with them. Coping/adjusting to these changes is the definition of growth.   For us to evolve to the next big thing- at least experience a motion in our lives, something that is exciting (brings eccentric vibes), we have to experience change which adversely leads...
