I recently started
jogging and as I jog, people would say ‘hey I will join you sometime’, or
‘...come get me the next time you jog’. The interesting thing is that I
have found that very few people would actually show up the day of the jog or
after I had told them when we are jogging. As much as I want to achieve
something in life I have found that I say I want to do something and go
somewhere yet I don’t even show up. In most instances the first thing that I
need to do is show up.
Knock, knock is
anybody home?
*silence*
People have showed
up in my life, some have been very good and influential others not so good and
what did I do, nothing. I don’t know what I missed. Honestly I can say that in
some cases I peeped through the whole and saw a gun; my response was not to
answer in that case I dodged a bullet. Allow me to blow my own horn and say
that, that was a wise move. Other times in fear I hid not even to peep through
the whole to see what lay ahead.
The most
interesting times have been when I knocked peeped and opened. I was willing to
listen and see what I could do with the opportunity presented and the choice
would lie with me do I take a chance or decline. My favourite times have been
those rear, very rear times when I opened the door and a gift lay on the floor.
Knock, knock.
(peep through
whole, safe to open)
*open*
