At the age of Twenty-Five a transformation began to take place in my life because I found myself in a special environment. Even though I received a solid education from school, I began to discover that there was more to life than having good grades.

The educational system when I was in school did not teach us about vision and dreams. I’m not sure if it does now, the main thing that education offered me at the time was how to write great curriculum vitae and confined me to the straitjacket of Job seekers. There’s nothing wrong with getting a good job, but with the rise of artificial intelligence human needs more options.

The educational system during my time in school meant others will be making decisions for me for the rest of my life.  It was not a system that teaches how to build legacies and pass them on to the next generation. In this new environment I was informed that I am here to create a path for younger generations to follow. I started receiving trainings on developing the right mind and attitude to live a fulfilled life.

I was told to be completely honest and always double check my actions and motives. Aspiring for greater heights means I must be willing to travel down the road less travelled. To survive on the road less travelled I must be willing to think outside the box. Many gratifications must be delayed to be fully equipped for the achievement of my dreams and goals. I need to have small plans that would develop into bigger ones regarding my vision and dreams. I must be ready to constantly strive for new heights.

My Process of Transformation is as follows

• My words and actions must be characterized by insightful thoughts
• My appraisal regarding my life must be realistic
• Self-discipline must be a major force in my life.
• Before any conclusion, my judgement must be supported with concrete proof.

Going through those transformation means being able to separate the truth from the false. I must be willing to avoid quick gratification, easy answers, and half-baked solutions. Establishing these guidelines has helped me to maintain focus.

Maintaining focus helps me to constantly nurture my mind most especially in this age and time. Making changes and necessary adjustments are not easy goals to achieve, my main motivation as I wrestle to make changes is, if I do not make constant changes, my life will be ruined by the gripping yoke of sameness.

I was a member of the Dramatic Society at School and I was surprised when I won the major role in a stage play. The play was about a boy and a girl in a relationship, the boy cheated and sought forgiveness from his girlfriend. The Girl demanded concrete reasons why he should be forgiven and, how complete trust could be restored.

I gave the interpretation of the character my best shot. I caught a glimpse of my mum in the crowd as tears of joy streamed down her face because of my outstanding performance. The play ended up with the lead character, giving reasons he should be trusted. The organizers debated about the title for a while, they could not decide if it the title should be forgiveness or second chance, they eventually settled for forgiveness.

On getting home, I thought about my Father who abandoned me and asked myself that if he should return and ask for my forgiveness, would I ever forgive him? It was an emphatic no, I would rather match, hatred with hatred, because as far as I was concerned my Father hated me. This would be the only way for me to get even. If he ever comes to me for help, I will gladly turn him down. I never thought I would ever forgive him.

I spoke to my mum about not forgiving my Dad, talking about an eye for an eye. My mum realised that she had extra work to do because She never knew that I had so much hatred for my Father until my confession. She set me up for the healing process. She told me that I needed to forgive my Father immediately. She explained that if I do not forgive him now, it won’t fix the damages already done. If I refuse to forgive him, I will have to live with hatred and bitterness for the rest of my life.

She went further to tell me that I must always wish him the best. She began to help me to gather the strength to forgive, she did explain that forgiveness does not mean accepting the terrible act, but forgiveness will help to remove the grip my father’s attitude have over my life. The process of forgiveness has been one of the most difficult things in my life. It was not something that happened overnight, but with my mum’s unquenchable effort she made sure that I learnt how to see my Father in a different light.
