MY JOY AND PRIDE

Fantacia Gerdine Lore

 

I am a great believer in people and very passionate about their successes; as a woman if I stand for nothing I would definitely fall for anything, so my standards are input. I have learnt never to lay emphasis on the future, in that I live life one day at a time and in day tight compartments. Peace and happiness are not found in hard work, hobbies or pleasure but from the serenity of one’s Soul. It is not merely a distant goal that I see, but a means by which I arrive at my goal. Women are hard to miss and it is just our energy that makes us so believe that a woman can never have it all. The best antidote for fatigue is engagement with what you like best; I usually escape the world by being a mother-figure to Fantacia Gerdine Lore who is now Forty Months old and I must say this is the most sensible triumph so far in my life.

My existence so far may not be the party I hoped for, but while am here I might as well dance. Life is full of beauty that I have noticed it through my little girl. Her smiling face lits my inner-being up; I virtually live my life and share from her heart. People spend a lifetime searching for happiness looking for peace - They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions and even other people hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is; the only place they ever needed to search was and will always be within. I mean, freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better. Learn to love the flaws that you see within yourself as they are often unique characteristics that other people love the most about you.

Our souls are hungry for meaning for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it. What frustrates us and robs our lives is the absence of meaning. The life I touch will touch another life and that in turn another; I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on the future generations.

When you make loving others the story of your life, there’s never a final chapter because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person and he or she shines it on another and another. Life is too short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who really need our compassion, be swift to love and make haste to be kind. My imaginations has been my preview of life’s coming attractions and for a fact as I put my ear down close to my soul and listen hard; I now know I didn’t have to conceive or be the biological mother to my princess to attain the maternal vibes instilled in me. She is my Joy and Pride!
