Show up and
make your contribution; introduce a novel idea; start that new business; and
make your presence known. Make your move now (Les Brown
motivational speaker)
Life out here
is always a lesson and adventure. One of the things that I have had to accept
is that electricity is not a given! For the past two days it has been in very
scarce supply! It finally was restored today. Coming from an environment where
it’s a given it did take some getting used to not having constant power! Not
being in the situation where you switch on the lights and they work all the time!
But I have learnt that when you argue with reality you suffer! The power goes
and I moan and groan and say “not again” and the locals watch me and say
“what’s the matter madam?” this is our reality!
I admit I do not understand the society here, no running water,
intermittent power and basic amenities are not a given! Despite all the
challenges there are many people doing their bit to make things better, I know
that things will change out here, maybe not in this generation but someday it
will. People are waking up!
So what did I
learn?
There are some
things that I have no control over but I have control over my response and
reaction to it!
Peace!!
