It Eats the Light. Content Warning.
It had been six months since the funeral. A moving truck was parked in front of a picturesque two-storey house with rounded trim on the eaves, a window in the attic, a large sunporch, and vines growing up the front that framed the living room window. The wrap-around porch had two doors; one in front to go inside, another to access the sunporch to the left. There was a decent sized yard, more of it out back where there was a door covered by a box eave with built in shelves for wet shoes and umbrellas. A rickety swing set had been left as a monument to tenants past. It sat on the front yard facing the road and the old warehouse, equally rickety if not more so, which was just across the road.

WHOM YOU ARE BECOMING
WHOM YOU ARE BECOMING is a “child” you're “pregnant” of – in essence, it is your future self. This astounding future SELF will live and rest on the inescapable foundation you are building and establishing for it today. That “baby” you're currently carrying (i.e.,whom you're becoming) will be a replica of your tomorrow self if nothing is done today to change the outlook thereof. The truth is that there is quite a number of things that would have contributed to whom you are (identity) today either consciously or not – good and/or bad. Are you willing to die off completely to whom you have been all along in order to give birth to a new version of yourself? If you take some time to do a little bit of soul searching, you’d be marvelled at how much you’ve gotten so attached to a terrible “past” (the part of yourself that must be severed) – seeing the hindrance it is constituting to whom you're becoming. Let go of your “EX” for your “NEXT”! Are you ready to let go of everything and everybody you have held responsible for your ugly past? You must be willing to reinvent yourself unapologetically at the risk of their approval. You cannot grow and remain liked by everyone. Are you willing to do something extraordinary that your future-self will be proud of? Are you ready to “inconvenience” your entire life to buy your future? Transformation can never be obtained on a platter of gold. There will always be a price to pay when it comes to the achievement of anything worthwhile: your convenience is a price you must pay to give birth to whom you're becoming. Enough about the feelings of whom you think you can become; stop dwelling in your feelings and start doing. It is time to give birth to that unrepeatable miracle inside of you. Now is the time to push out that irreplaceable wonder in you. At the moment you may think that you're too young to invest in your future; there’s also the thought – perhaps - that you're pretty old and behind schedule already: alas, all these thoughts are nothing short of sprinkles of distraction. Do you know that you have all it takes to change the trajectory of your future for the better? Assuredly so! All you need do is activate within yourself that latent power of change this day and be wonderstruck of whom you were born to be! Bearing the consequences of your past actions is the only relationship you’ve got with whom you used to be. This is quite inevitable! In spite of that, you’re not tied down to that pillar. It’s true that the consequences may be too much to easily get rid of but your ability to re-invent yourself is what determines whom you’re becoming. Even as the mistakes of yesterday are irreversible, so is yesterday - gone forever. You can invest in today to change whom you’re becoming. It may surprise you to know that you’re unavoidably investing in yourself and every action carried out today would have an effect either positively or negatively in whom you’re becoming. There are three phases in a man’s life; his past,his present and his future. Your past is fully responsible for whom you are (your present) and your present will totally be responsible for whom you’re becoming (your future). All past actions, decisions, plans, achievements, failures, battles, victories, defeats and experiences contributed to who you are now. Here, in the present, you could be faced with two choices: (1) to endure and/or enjoy the consequences/rewards of your past OR (2) to prepare for the future unavoidably with courageous confidence. Saddening however is the reality that many people nowadays have. Get a copy of this book on Amazon https://a.co/d/1EFImBl
