Yesterday was my birthday and it always strikes me how time flies. Whether you use it or waste it, time is a faithful servant and it will play its part - without fear or favour.
I had a wonderful time and so many friends, near and far, shared their love and spoke long life, good health, success, joy and victory into my life.
To all those who did not give me a present, ITS OKAY: "It is the VALUE of your PRESENCE and not the PRICE of your PRESENTS that makes the most DIFFERENCE."
It
was Toynee (1948) who said; "History of an individual country could in
general not be understood in isolation from other countries."
Likewise, my individual history (and by extension - my future) can never be understood in isolation from other individuals - YOU!
I did not manage to go for my traditional Basketball
shots but I managed to think about 2 very important things that become even more important with age - Integrity and Time.
I realised that "IN-tegrity is IN-side YOU." It has nothing to do with external circumstances but its those circumstances that reveal what is inside you. As we grow older, black and white creates grey areas but we must consistently uphold Integrity and teach it to the next generation.
Unfortunately, as we grow older, it becomes clear that we have had so many years to live, and often, we ask ourselves what have we achieved? The pressure for success and the need to achieve increases. I tell you now, "Our lack is not of time to achieve our dreams; but of dreams to pursue with our time."
I spent a wonderful dinner with my family and for those moments, LIFE was PERFECT!
I am grateful to God for life, mine and yours - LET'S MAKE EVERY BREATH COUNT.
