Come with me in your imagination to the funeral of a loved one. Picture yourself driving to the funeral parlour or the church, parking your car, and getting out. As you walk inside the building, you feel the shared sorrow of losing and the joy of having that radiates from the hearts of the people there.
As you walk to the front of the room and look inside the casket, you came face to face with yourself. This is your funeral, five years from today. All these people have come to honor you and express feelings of love and appreciation for your life.
As you look at the program in your hand, you see that the first speaker is from your family. The second speaker is a friend. The third is from your work or profession. The fourth speaker is from your church or your community organisation where you were involved in service. The fifth and final is your spouse or children.
Now think deeply. What would you like each of these speakers to say about you and your life?
It is, therefore, imperative that you refuse to leave this planet without giving birth to those dreams, ideas, visions and inventions you carry in the womb of your faith right now.
Leave the picture of your potential on the wall of history in the museum of the earth.
