After Your Best Wish...

You can dream for the loftiest heights within reach of your imagination. On the highest peak, there is still left more of the best for you.



Last Saturday, I attended a wedding in Naivasha, my hometown. Meeting acquaintances last seen more than 10 years ago brought nostalgia and with it memories of the strongest desires then for the future.



Oscar Wilde said, “When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers". If some of the prayers of our former lives were answered, we would prefer to be far from the answer.



Since we dream to be something, we rarely become. I believe the easy to achieve dreams are those of getting qualities in life such as love and happiness around us. However we aspire for what is seen and approved by others in title and position in life.



Dreaming and seeking qualities of life that are indestructible is independent of title and position in life. Whether in a shack or palace, you will always have them.



When young, there are many dreams I had that related little to life qualities of love and relationship. There was great inspiration from the teachers seeing them as know it all. That then was a big dream.



Today, having obtained an Engineering degree, practiced and smelled of lofty positions, the real dream is to be a model father to my children and a good friend to those around me. A strong relationship with God is the highest inspiration. It is much more than any position I could wish for.

Five wishes by Gay Hendricks will be an interesting read for you.

Instructions

When is the last time you read instructions for your new gadget? For three years we have been using a microwave oven the wrong way. When we got the microwave oven, all we did was plug it in the socket and started using.




Today morning while in Kitchen I realized that the top surface was dirty and the thin vinyl covering was coming off. I thought, can’t this be removed? Then the clear notice in three languages became noticeable to me for the first time, “your microwave oven is covered by a vinyl covering to protect it. BEFORE using for the first time, remove the covering bottom up”. A diagram was drawn to show this. I pealed the covering in one minute.



Today morning I am going to the bank for the third day with embarrassment. I deposited money I a fixed account six months ago, got the certificate and misplaced it. Yesterday my wife found it in a place where we had not searched – next to the wedding certificate. On the deposit certificate are instructions for recovering the money on maturity. The last two days I claimed to the bank that I knew nothing about the instruction. It time to bite the humble pie and admit that I was wrong.


Life can be easier today if you read and understand the instructions for your life today. There is the best source for you here.
