Please Admin, Post this for me. Maybe Fusedcreatives readers can pick a lesson from it. STOP COMPLAINING, BLAMING OTHERS AND START ACTING I am a young man who lives just for survival every day. Not knowing what may happen tomorrow. No one to ask me “Are you okay”. Just someone whose survival is by the mercy of GOD, his uncle and a few good friends around him. To my friends, when in deep waters I turn to for some help- may be a loan. Sometime in May, I decided to go to Mbarara for my Industrial training. Lucky enough, a friend offered me his room near Mbarara University for free accommodation- Thanks to him. This is my first time to be far away from everything I have known for 20years. Life has been good, actually great here in Mbarara. Talk about the good and welcoming friends, the nature and calmness of the environment, the experience of learning a new language (Runyankole), and living in a well facilitated double room apartment. Wooow!!!! Everything has been just great. Not until towards the end, when I ran out of funds. For some short time I survived, getting some money somehow. My buddy (Land lord) came back for two days. I wanted to have the best moments with him. I wanted him to be proud of me and not regret for leaving me in his apartment. It’s this very time that my financial account clocked ZERO. With only 50 Ug.Shs in my pocket. Sharon (my best friend and neighbor who has facilitated me sometimes) left for Bushenyi, Ben (also a neighboring buddy) has also left-done with intern. And my buddy went to Kampala for some time. Checking around, it’s only “Bushera” left for me. Not even a cent left with me. “All hope is not lost”, I cheered up myself. Started making a few phone calls home but the responses were devastating. “Roger, you have been stupid spending all money on ladies and boozing. Take care of yourself”-my step Daddy. “Roger, there is nothing I can do for you”-my Mum. “Man Buddy, try somewhere else. I have just blah blah ………”-One of my close buddies. “Man I’m also doing bad”-my cousin. I felt so small. All alone rejected by everyone I know. I felt a lot of bitterness and hatred for everyone. Spent 5 hours all alone in the corner of the bedroom, asking myself questions like; “If I die today, who will cry for me? Who will really miss me? What will they miss about me? Why is my life like this? Who am I? What’s my purpose in life? What can I do to make my life better? And more, more…” After that long moment of silence and time dedicated to understanding my true self, talking to myself deep inside, I felt relieved. I felt happy again. I discovered that whatever that’s happening to me, it’s nobody’s mistake and I should stop complaining. I need to start taking responsibility of my life. Invest time in understanding my true self. Invest in widening my mind and using it to think. Develop a positive attitude towards every situation and happy will I be. I discovered my life purpose. “To give the best of me, for myself and all the people around me. Use everything within my power to make people’s lives worth living. To reach out to people and young men like me, show them how to live a happy life and discover their life purpose. To enjoy every moment of life as if it’s I’m going to die that very moment.” It doesn’t matter If no one stands for me, I’ll stand for them. It doesn’t matter if everyone rejects me, I’ll always be there to help them. TO BE CONTINUED… Ohhh, guess what. I’m drinking a jug half of “Bushera”. #Rogsen7
