Complacency . . .

Much of the youth is fine with being complacent mediocre individuals. Whilst I do believe this world is temporary I also believe in making the most of it & taking full advantage of my youth; I don't want to have regrets that I didn't do this or that. I want to experience it all.

However, I look around me & there are only a handful of individuals out there "shaking this world". I often wonder if WE realise that we are the future leaders of today not even tomorrow...

There's a huge leadership void waiting to be filled and so many problems that need solutions to be found by us, yet we sit; allowing time to pass, ourselves to age, & never truly experiencing life or reaching our full potential.

I made a decision that when my future kids or grand kids ask me what my contribution to the world was; I'll have an answer. I just pray I live to do it all & that I'm always guided by the Almighty, Aameen.

When I ask myself these questions I find that I don’t have an answer but answerS. I say answers because I’m interested & great at many things. Ideally I’d like to do it all!! Being a student at university I am, ‘doing it all’ to an extent yet I wonder if this is a viable option?

I guess this blog is a platform for me to find the answers I seek & as a friend of mine Zamantungwa would say “to find a voice”, my voice …
