It is all about your TAIL!

 

I wish I could write and share each single thought I have in my mind but who wants a cocktail!? Wait, did I just say a cocktail? 


The cock has a tail!? Wow. The cock has a TAIL and I’m just going to talk about this TAIL that a cock has! I, like everyone else have noticed that everyone wants a ready-made stuff. They be like “I want food on my plate but don’t dare send me in the kitchen!” or” I just want a happy relationship but do not dare tell me to work for it”. It looks like most people long for a certain magician with a magic wand who will come and do Abracadabra then BOOM, everything is there. 


This does not necessarily mean that there are not those responsible individuals who are willing to do all they can so as to get what they want. For them, their sweat and blood are what make them win. They invest in their TAILs!!  In either case, it always ends in tears or it has to end in tears be it tears of joy or tears of failure. Let’s focus back on the TAIL. As far as I can see, most people (including me) fail because their TAILs have problems. They say that everything we want is at the other side of fear and you know that fear has two meaning; Forgetting Everything and Running or else Facing Everything and Rising. In either case, it all depends on the size of your TAIL.  You should have a workout routine in order to have a healthy TAIL! The first muscle of the TAIL is Time. You won’t get anything in life if you are not willing to give it time. Rome was not built in a day or three! A child is not raised in a week or two! Give time its time if you want to achieve something worth having, something that will last longer.

The second muscle is Attention. Someone said that if you pay close attention, everything can be your teacher! Go out and examine everything attentively and you will be surprised with life lessons that you will get. It was that one morning when I woke up and stood before an avocado tree which is in our garden doing nothing at all. I decided to look carefully at the tree to see if I can get something (hey avocado lovers) but instead my eyes were caught by the fallen dry leaves. To cut it short, my lesson that day was this: Love and enjoy your life while you can because one day, like those fallen dry leaves, you’ll be unable to do so. Wisdom is born out of paying attention. I sometimes think that an airplane was invented by a person who attentively observed how a bird flies! Relationships are strengthened by paying attention to each other’s needs and responding accordingly!

Let’s see the third muscle in a tail then. Integrity. I sometimes fail to differentiate integrity and dedication but integrity is defined as a quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, doing what is right and sticking to moral principles in every circumstance. You cannot fail in your life if you are a person of integrity.

The last which I even call the strongest is loyalty. Dear reader, with all words that I have in me, I can’t find a suitable word to describe loyalty. It is incomparable, blessed is the one who finds loyal friends, loyal partner but he who is loyal is even more blessed. It is hard to find loyalty in people nowadays but if you can’t find loyal people, be a loyal person instead   and you will live a happy and successful life. I wish you to cry only tears of joy at the end. Ciao.
