The Weeping Lecturer

Route not taken

It is true that love is life and life well spent in love is worth a life to live. There is no difference between the shadow of oneself and oneself. The reality of your personality starts with your shadow but not to mince words. I have a destination but a far distant journey indeed.

I am only a sojourner,
A stranger in a far away land.
I am on a quest for a heartbeat 
The strange faces in a strange land,
Leaving me perplex I look appalling and too bewildered.

How then will I know my missing vain,
Blood running through my vain,
How then do I distinguish between a missing rib and a missing vain. 
I have lost my way.

But now I see an angelic regalia
who could this be? Any direction I turn it follows without hesitation. It is very busy mimicking me then I become sad with my face very hurt.

Who is this image? I become more curious. 
Hence showing the emblems, 
the insignia of royalty.
Especially that of the crown, sceptre
Even with all other ornaments used at a  coronation.

It has the same height,
It has the same shape,
I discover it walks exactly in human form. Could this be a sculpture but,
Looking like a robot but more lively.

When I rotate instinctively it does same,
This time I use my hand to purse my face
It does same without wasting a second.
Its haircut, white bulge out looking eyes
Adorned with such admirable features.

I'm in love with it now, 
It keeps me company.
Already I'm gradually falling head over heels 
in love with it. So amazing an image.
It directs my footsteps giving me joy.

Being such a wonderful signal if I had
An enemy or any treacherous creature behind me. I become thankful to my second self. Whence it, I suddenly realize it is part of me.

I look bewildered, it is my figure, it is my shadow. Now it is very important to always involve your shadow. Nobody runs faster than their shadow. Your shadow keeps you company in the dark and most special time of the day. Resist working ahead of your purpose in life. Just like your shadow signifies your personality so you cannot achieve nothing if you try not involving your spirit in every step you make in life. 

Mind works together with purpose to achieve success. Just like your shadow works together with your physical body to dictate and direct your footstep.

Hope you enjoyed the poem. Thanks for your visit. Do check back again! 

Stay safe!

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
