Born days


  1. Born days

 

Life has given you another chance

Not only to live but to change

Not only to change but to act

Not only to act but to help

Not only to help but to inspire

Truly a born day is a gift

Because not everyone is not privileged

Some die before they are born

Some die before they accomplish anything

And some die before discovering their purposes

Truly a born day is a gift in form of life

People take born days for granted

Not because they want

But because they don’t know the importance of born days

Born days are a time for change

Born days are a time to leave bad habits

And a time to introduce good habits

Not for your own benefit

But for the benefit of others

Born days the time to be new

When people hear the word born day

What clicks into their mind is age increase

Yet age increase without maturity is useless

Age is not just a number

But age is maturity

Maturity works hand in hand with realization

You have to realize for you to change

You have to realize that you need change

For you to change

Where there is no realization there is no maturity

Only age in increase

In fact a number only

Age should correspond with maturity

On a born day its either you are increased or reduced
