Have you ever woken up one day and found yourself in a middle of a crisis….some people will say we saw it coming, but it will turn out in truth that you didn’t see, didn’t smell it and you are honestly the last one to know.
You may wake up one day with a life threatening health challenge and only then realise that those headaches which Paracetamol nicely cured were a sign, but at the time were just headaches to you.
You may wake up one day to a relationship that has completely collapsed and only realise then that the flamboyant gestures of love were a mask for you not to see the challenges.
You may wake up one day with no job and only realise that the small cuts in budgets in your company were a sign that you didn’t see because out of optimism and empathy, your leadership didn’t want to sow uncertainty until the very last breath.
You may wake up one day to find your relatives having put you on the sacrificial plate and only realise that the missed invitations were a sign you missed completely because you were so busy playing happy families.
You may wake up one day to your friends working with your enemies to destroy you and only then realise why there was always silence when you shared about your life…because every detail was critical to the plot.
You will in most cases be blind to the signs of imminent crisis, you will definitely be the last one to know and most importantly, your today and your tomorrow will look like night and day….
So what then? Learn to live blind and pray that your turn comes at a time when you have learnt how to rebuild, when you know that crises are a fact of life and that nothing that is happening to you will be there forever unless you let it.
Kunzima all around…in every crisis, when you are blind, don’t expect to see 💐
