Yesterday. . .
Yesterday will always be a time in the past where many memories were created, where many regrets will remain, where the feeling of loss will ever be green. It is a time recorded in our timelines, flashbacks or throwbacks. . .
The thoughts of It either make us laugh or cry but yesterday always remains a time without which there wouldn’t be a time called today or tomorrow.
As I sit quietly, reminiscing the past moments, the journey of life flows like tears streaming down my eyes and cheeks and the thought of the struggles of this life drains me, as the battle of living and trying to live well remains sacrosanct.
The past will always reside in yesterday even though it’s most times dragged into our today like it is said, there can’t be a present if there was no past, neither would there be tomorrow if there isn’t a time called today. Lingering memories created in yesterday forever throws its weight at us as many cherished thoughts were buried in it.
Lost opportunities, lost glories as well as gains or failures and even success stories the past will forever hold.
In great depth of thoughts of gratitude, in the light of the one privileged to be counted among the living irrespective of the times or seasons I celebrate each day, amidst all that it brings whether good or bad, for both experiences will always characterise our lives especially as we look unto a better tomorrow.
Yesterday will always therefore remain the beginning of the revelation of time of our lives as well as the lives of every creation recorded in existence. Like an inspiration, it inspires us to be who it has inspired us to become. . .
Like an instructor, the lessons from yesterday will always inform our choices and influence our drive, determination and the zeal to overcome failure and motivate the desire to change the narrative and passion to tell a new story and chart a new course.
Deep within the wells of yesterday lies the wealth of our tomorrow because, our experiences, failures and tales of sufferings become our first-hand resources or a guide towards attaining our set goals or dreams, simply put, a reliable catalyst to our breakthroughs and success stories. Cast the dice therefore and take the chance at a better tomorrow.
The unpleasant thoughts or moments of yesterday can only be defeated by our consciences’ efforts to record a better today as well as a super tomorrow and to make that happen, you have got to defy your fears and face your doubts, forsake your limitations, encourage your current possibilities and consolidate your plans for a future of your dream…
As the year gradually comes to a close, my question is, what kind of a yesterday are we creating for ourselves this season? Is it a pleasant one or one that will always unsettle our essence each time we flip through it?
Are we sure it will make a good impact in the sands of times? Will it be a yesterday that generations to come will be proud to remember or recount about us? The tales of our heroes past keeps holding us spellbound each time because we are reminded of their fight and sacrifices to ensure our liberation from the foreign invaders called colonial masters and that is a kind of yesterday that will forever be remarkable no matter how many times we hear it, it will always be commendable. May our yesterday always be one to remember with pride as we consciously make an effort towards building a good past even as we look forward to a better tomorrow and a super future. May we always be able to say no to wrong no matter what it may cost us because yesterday will never forget our efforts even if failed.
