Inspiration

Have you ever just sat and looked around you?

Everything that is happening is just far beyond amazing.

True, there will always be the spectrum of negativity

But ignore it and just think of the good,

All the positive, all the optimism, all the brilliance that

Comes out of our generation, even previous generations.

It’s so inspiring for me to read or hear

About something one person did that

Impacts me positively today

Imagine; One person, just one person

Made this possible

With their innovations, drive, optimism and

Inspiration they may have gained from someone else.

And without knowing it, they have inspired someone else.

It’s a cycle and goes round and round because people will have

Someone they look up to and admire their ways of living,

Their charisma and how they carry themselves, their careers and

Even their life choices.

Inspiration is gained from everyone,

Doesn’t matter their age, background or beliefs

What matters is their action.

So what have I done?

What is it that my friend, Elders, siblings,

Family, younger ones or even our community.

Can look and clearly admire about me?

I want them to remember that I helped them in

One way or another,

That I made a positive impact on them.

I was more than inspired when my close friends sought out

To people who would be interested in

making a change and are rooting to start a

A program ‘Africans for Africa’ to create a difference

Improve and solve situations and complications our communities face.

To stand up and combine all our brilliance and capabilities

And simply make a positive impact

Personally, I want to be able to know deep down;

That I made a change in some ones world,

That in my so doing I improved what they had

And also encouraged them to do the same for someone else.

It’s not my world; it’s our world. Our community.

So as long as we stand and are able, why not become the solution?

Instead of complaining of problems and our situations!

‘Imprints in the sand wash away, Imprints on a rock, last forever.’  

These are simple but powerful words and so;

With my will power and strength

I open my mind to million POSSIBILITIES and

Great OPPORTUNITIES to create and improve all our COMMUNITIES.
