When I die

When I die…

Ha, ha, ha that must have been the most riveting title I have ever written (Ok, maybe not!) So getting to the point, I finally decided what I want written on my tombstone when I die…

‘Here lies the sista who gave all and held back nothing. The one who lived life truly making a difference’

Quite big boots for my 18year old boots to fill… well lets just say I take it all or nothing. I don’t like being a mediocre person. So you will want to know what I mean by my words…

Why live life with nothing to show for it at the end? Why live life and only have offspring, a car, and a house to show for it at the end? Why live life purely trying to make ends meet? Why live life just for the sake of living?
I want to live life having made a difference to someone’s life, having left an impact in a community of people who will truly appreciate it. I want to live a life with no regrets. A life that when I get to heaven I will not have to search in a bag of useless material achievements that only looked good on paper with a shiny crest at the end, I want to live a life worth living.

Our generation is becoming very consumerist where it’s all about ‘me’, what ‘I’ can get out of it. Notice the thinking… ‘Me’, ‘I’, and generally ‘me’ again. My vision is it’s based around improving myself and pulling other people up as I go along.
I wish every one would catch up to this vision coz if we ( as in my generation) stop tramping on each other in our attempt to make it to the top then maybe we can improve our country, each other and we would all be happier for it.

In ending, it’s important that we look beyond that which we see in the scope life as we know it but look beyond that which is expected of us, beyond that which is normal and reach out for our visions and dreams. Its reality stories that are most astounding, imaginary normally stays just that- imaginary.
I will say it again, to those who do not carry my vision it might not make much sense but to the person who will be at the receiving end of my vision it will make the world of a difference...

Dream on dreamers don’t let anybody tell you any different!

Lots of love… Sistagirl
