What Next?

Once in our lifetime, we look back and make a lot of remarks as well as ask a lot of endless questions:

''Ah! I should have been born into 'that' family"
'' I should have been a citizen of 'that' country"
“Why didn't I go to 'that' school?"
"And why at all did I study 'that' course in school?"
"In fact, shouldn't I have taken up a job in 'that' company rather?"
"Come to think of it, why did I even fall in love with no other person but him/ her?"
"I wouldn't have married him/her if I had known"
And the list is endless. However, the Big Question is "So What Next?"

Would you retrace your steps and start afresh?
How sure are you that granted that which you would have preferred you had, your life wouldn't have been a worse case?

We always forget that we ourselves are part of the problems and instead of blaming our misfortunes on others, we could rather work at improving and psyching ourselves up to be able to overcome any situation we find ourselves in or are faced with in our lifetime.

You come from the poorest family and so what? You still breath and you even understand the difference between poverty and affluence. My friend, that is a Plus for you because the fact that you even know your problem gives you the power and authority to know the angle from which to solve it.

You come from a " Third World" country as some will put and so should you kill yourself? Of course not! You are in the best position to help move your country from that "Third World" to a "Second World" if I can put it that way. And that singular decision of yours paves the way for your country's "Evolution vers Redemption) as I put it.

Stop the unnecessary whining for it just slows you down and cages you in your sorrows and bitterness while you and a million more people wallow in the stringent effects of the poverty you wish you were not a part of.
If you doubt the fact that you can make a difference, why not find out the backgrounds and early lives of some of the many great men of our time? One thing is certain and that is: They made a Decision and that is: they never gave up! They persevered!

Fellow "wishers" in the hood lets just note that in spite of everything; the disappointments, the  sleepless and lonely nights, the nightmares, the shame, the rejection, the tears, the hunger, the thirst, the insults, the losses and false accusations, the only thing that can turn our lives around is the answer we decide to give to this simple question: WHAT NEXT? Will we take several steps back or a giant step forward? 

Think about it....
