Doing some time away from home.
Not for bad behavior or anything - the tenets of work require that I go and utilize my expertise in a setup and deployment project.
It was fun to get out of NIGERIA for awhile. It was exciting to be a sole traveler (apart from GOD for company) - dispatched to Zambia.
My mother after being told I was going to Zambia kept asking if it was GAMBIA. Of course I said no - "I'm going to ZAMBIA" My colleagues ask if I'm going to NAMIBIA - I equally say: "No, It's ZAMBIA."
Regardless of the inherent confusion - it was fun to get out of the daily grind and dust.
Here we are almost to weeks later and I feel bad that I ill b returning to the cesspit and daily grind.
This trip was my time on the ropes - where I could honestly look at my situation and try to determine the best way to change my circumstances.
Clear thinking moments - about my life. How far I have gone and how much further I have to go towards achieving my dream.
That dream is really simple: Self independence.
I need to seize opportunities - to make a way for myself.
I have been blessed on this trip by meeting friendly people who have shown me so much in so little time - many oppurtunities.
It has been a time spent against the ropes - sizing up the situation and making the relevant changes to strategy. I am forever grateful to GOD for those unspoken moments that seem to characterize this trip.
It is my sincere hope that I will take full advantage of this opportunity and run with the moment - It is my duty to myself, to my beliefs and my aspirations.
I love these moments of self clarity - I crave these moments against the ropes.
