HAMZ MUSINGS: SHALL WE
SHALL WE?
A very good day to you all leaders of thought and welcome on board to Hamz's Musings this week.
Today, SHALL WE talk about treading the path of purpose?
Firstly, picture these story below.
"A blind man once stood on the side of the road. He was waiting for
someone to take him across. Then he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.
A voice said, 'I want to cross the road. Shall we go across together?'
The blind man replied, 'Yes, please.' And they proceeded to cross the
road.
No sooner had they stepped into the road than commotion was let
loose. Loud car horns and screeching brakes dodged their every step.
They were nearly deafened by the shrieking motorists and shouting
pedestrians. The general ruckus just served to make the men more
frantic. The blind man clung tightly to the other man until they made it
to the other side of the road.
Immediately, the blind man disengaged himself and screamed above
the din at the other man, 'Do you call that a crossing?! You nearly had
me killed! You risked my life for God's sake! Are you blind?!'
To which his shocked partner answered, 'B-b-but of course i am! Didn't
you know that? Can't you see that.'
~An Anecdote
'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes
but having new eyes' ~Marcel Proust
Too often in life we have many self-imposed embargoes placed on us
by us. We have the strong conviction that that we are not able to
undertake some task and the only proof that we can't is the thought "I
can't". But life situations always have a way of proving us wrong.
Circumstances occur in which strengths and abilities we never knew
existed and would never otherwise have found, are revealed in
amazing ways.
The time you didn't know you could sing- until a microphone was
pushed into your hands and you were shoved to the front of the
church.
The time you didn't know you could write- until the group writer went
AWOL and you realised everybody's eyes were on you, staring at- 'Me?
No, no, no! No, you can't be serious! But you know i can't write. But
you kno-'
The time when you were quite positive you were going to be a surgeon-
until you saw a cadaver and fainted off. And that coincided with the
discovery that you had a special eye for clothes, so you opted for
sewing fabrics and dumped the idea of sewing people.
And so it is that often by necessities are talents discovered.
Life is full of moments like these. Aha!-moments. Eureka moments.
Times when our eyes are suddenly opened and we see a new light, see
in new ways.
In my mind's eyes, these moments have a picture and a name.
The picture is of the outstretched hands of FAITH reaching out to you,
willing you to trust and place your hands in her's. It is the picture of
the question, 'SHALL WE?'
It is unlikely you'll regret taking that step even if it's a risk. Afterall, all
of life is a risk, and taking no risk is taking a big risk in itself.
I leave you with my short piece...
Shall we move a little stronger?
Shall we-? Shall we move the mountain?
Shall we move a little higher?
Shall we-? Shall we touch the sky?
Shall we move a little closer?
Shall we-? Shall we step over the edge?
Shall we stand a little surer?
Shall we-? Shall we shake the earth?
Shall we look a little deeper?
Shall we-? Shall we live the life?
And that's the question to you, 'Shall you kiss your comfort zone
goodbye?'
In that place of men who push the boundaries of impossibility... I hope
to see you.
