Pick me Culture

Waiting in line is a common practice in our lives.  Waiting for our turn.  But,  You know sometimes, , 'ngoja ngoja huumiza matumbo.'

Though they say great things come to those that wait,  sometimes those that come are the remainders, and sometimes nothing at all.

Being proactive means deliberately going for the things you wish for. Knocking on doors long enough until they open.

I Remember my mum taking me to an audition someday. She noticed the queue was long until outside the gate.  Auditions could have hundreds of us waiting in line to be picked. 

I remember,  she said,  aren't the people auditioning you,  just like you? Why don't you find out,  what it takes to do this yourself? It hit me on another level when I attended one where people who had barely graduated were auditioning.

Sometimes you have to choose yourself,  promote yourself,  cheer yourself on,  beat your own drums, and dance to your tune,  and along the way you find many doing the same. It no longer feels lonely.

Every day,  we must deliberately make the choice to pick ourselves and choose ourselves some more.

You could be anyone in the game.  Why choose to be at the bottom,  always?

What if you could have your cake an eat it too?

Why not you,  on the other side.  #DreamTribe.
