A sack for the Car Window

On Tuesday on my way to work a car drove past me. The car was of a good make and well maintained except for one issue. The driver's window was covered in a sack. Yes ladies and gentlemen, a gunia(Swahili word for a sack). The first thing that came to my mind was how was he able to see with the side mirror now that his window was all covered? Then I thought couldn't he have used a clear paper, then it hit me - plastic papers were banned. Mind you this was all in traffic. In fact at some point I thought I should take out my phone and take a photo of this man's survival tactic . I however couldn't . Perhaps because the car drove way ahead or because it didn't matter anyway. What I needed was the lesson from the survival tactic demonstrated by the man. And this was it.

See when the owner got to where he parked the car before hitting the road that day, he had an agenda. I don't know the specific agenda he was to perform but I do know he wanted to move from his location. See friends it didn't matter that he didn't have one window. He only thought its cold and rainy and I need to be on the move. I believe he had choices some that would have perhaps meant not going or not using that car because it had a defect. He however chose to not see the defect as a permanent defect but one that can be temporary sorted as he works on eliminating the defect completely. 

I don't know how you will receive this message but for me its clear. Some defects are permanent and deter us from moving forward because we chose to see them as permanent barriers. Or perhaps we worry what will this and this person say. Well then, they will say and perhaps think,  should that affect you as an individual really? Absolutely not, Its not any ones business to control what others think of them. The control an individual has is of thoughts about themselves and stopping oneself of  thinking about what others are thinking because it only drains if not derails them.  Present yourself as you are and know your destination and that will remain your sole focus.

Now that is the lesson for today after close to 2 years away from writing a blog.
