#PNN E-MENTORING (Yoma Victor): Are You AWAKE?

A popular saying “when you wake up, that is when your morning breaks”. Nothing in life could be more truer.

It will be a fallacy of huge proportions to assume that everyone is awake just because they get up at 6am, dress up and step out for their daily activity. I do not intend to scare you guys, but take a look around you – most of them are sleep walking. They are not much different from ‘walking dead’. They are sleep-walking through life. Let this scenario not look funny to you. It is actually a tragic scenario.

Life is quantified in time, so when someone says “stop wasting my time”, the person is actually saying “stop wasting my life”. Understand that life is a gift, it is measured in time and every minute is a result of what was invested in the minutes preceding it. In other words, what your time produces for you tomorrow is as a result of what you put into it today. So you can imagine the unimaginable tragedy of sleep-walking through life. It is a tragic waste of life. And the truth is that your tomorrow will be a result of what you have done today.

Wealth and riches, extraordinary ideas will come only to those who are awake, only to those who are consciously engaging life. Dreams, true dreams are not the pictures you see when you sleep; real dreams are what you see when you are awake. Awake from your slumber friend. Sleep is the pleasure of the lazy, sleep-walking through life is the pleasure of the foolish.
