When Will The Day break?
There is a time when one needs to grow up and get to a point where you can walk with the rest of the grownups. You know those people in your life who seem to have it all together. They probably already own a few acres of land, a car or two; have great jobs, possibly a thriving business and have a fabulous relationship and great kids. And now you are wondering where you went wrong. I mean you went to the same crappy school, they were not as bright as you and you were the one all the teachers knew would do great. Hell, even your village back home, they all knew you were destined for great things. And many a mothers visited your parents to convince them that their child was better suited to marry you. You dare not visit the village, for the loud whispers and quiet laughs of scorn will strip you of the last shred of dignity you are clinging to.
So here you are, caught up in a job that gives you no satisfaction, barely pays the bills and that workmate across from your desk, need to really check themselves before you are thrown into jail for a heinous crime, like gutting them alive. You wake up every morning, convinced that it’s going to be a better day; you have resolved in the wee hours of the night that you are turning a new leaf that your life will change. So, you get to the office and it’s roller coaster and before you can catch your breath long enough to get round to your resolutions the day is over and you are tired like a dog, can hardly think let alone walk to the bus stop to catch a bus home.
Another end of day, you sink into the comfort of your sofa, your favourite corner and surf the TV channels. Gosh, what you would give for pay TV!!! You are thinking of the resolutions you made yester night, when the plan was so clear. Maybe you should have written it down, word for word, step by step. Visualized it, cut out pictures from old magazines and pasted them on a Vision Board to bring the dream closer, isn’t that what John Assaraf did in The Secret? (Byrne, 2006) He not only got a great wife but his business was great and he now lives in his dream house!! Maybe, you could still do that but, oh boy! It’s been such a long, long day!!! And Lord knows you gave 110 in time and attitude, so for tonight, just for tonight, you allow yourself to put up your feet and be lazy and tell yourself you will most definitely pick it all up tomorrow. Who knows, you will even have a solutions to the kinks in this grand plan to move your sorry self to opulence.
And so here you are, full circle wondering where is your daybreak? Will it ever come? Do you have the strength to go after it? Will you keep the resolutions that you make in the insomniac episodes that dog your sleep? Do you have what it takes? Well, you could always sleep on it. Or you could get off your lazy self and make your daybreak happen.
