I can hear my phone ring, who is calling me
upon checking I see “Greatness”
I am like who is this ?…Greatness calling me!?
I had only two options
the Green or the Red button
but before i dig in
I ask the question “Why me”?
mean while the phone is still ringing
a different thought came up to me while standing
cracking my brain trying to understand it
…..Time is passing
the phone will not forever be ringing
delete the fears and grab on to the handle
I picked up the phone and answered it
and all went dark for a second
I was scared
thinking of whom to call upon for help
I proceeded and said “hello” trying to overcome my fears
suddenly I saw a light blinking from far
I looked at it, I stared at it but yet it did not come
I was alone in my thoughts,
It was like I alone supported my thoughts
I started walking towards the light as it gets brighter
a storm came from the middle of no where
The wind pushed me, lightening struck me, the rain washed me
I looked back, it was all clear, no storm
I looked forward I could not see anything but the light
my heart was sprinting and my brain began to freeze
I had two only options
I could turn back, and settle to where I knew
or I could continue forward to reach the light I wanted to achieve
Yet again, Time and Resources are not by my side
So I sailed upon my destination heading North
closer and closer and closer I got to the light
The less turbulence began to decrease
my movement began to come with ease
Finally, I reached the light and everything else turned bright
Light of greatness is never far from your sight
If you waste time, who knows when you will die
whatever course you take, has challenges, such is life
Choice is an irony of success, you would have to take time to decide
and if time is not by your side, who’s side is choice ?
