One day I was watching an old video of Jim Rohn, he was lecturing about life, it’s essence and following one’s purpose to fully live it. It was a very big audience, a thousand of people by that time gathered paid to come and watch this man speak. Most people were fascinated about his simple life yet he’s a big success that almost the whole knew him. Remembering the main course of the lecture, “HOW TO WORK ON YOURSELF (Self development)” he touched a point about living a life of purpose. A lady from the audience fascinated by the topic just like me asked a question saying, “Mr. Rohn how do you find purpose in life and how do you live it”.
He calmly responded with a smile on his face by asking a lady, “Ms, if you were given 24hrs to live, will you still be doing what you’re doing currently?”
Shocked by the question, she said no. This got me thinking how oftentimes we waste so much of our lifetime on things that don’t bring fulfilment into our lives. I asked a pal of mine to taste it out, he told me. He would spend the remaining hours calling his mom, Dad, relatives and friends to tell them how happy he is that they’re part of his lives, he further went on to say he would use his last post to tell people to live truly to their lives, to take risks and not hold anything back. I snapped him out of it and said what’s holding you back right now to do what you said you would do. A moment of 10 seconds silence came after the question, digesting our conversation he took a moment to do what he just mentioned before.
This life is a paradox, we don’t know when our times is up but when it does, I hope you would have done what’s truest to yourself and those around
Good morning folks

The Weaver’s Journey
In a small village nestled among rolling hills, there lived an old weaver named Elara. Her hands were gnarled from years of weaving intricate patterns into cloth, and her eyes held the wisdom of a thousand sunsets. But it was her heart that set her apart—the quiet fire of determination that burned within.
Elara had always been drawn to the loom. As a child, she would sit by her grandmother’s side, watching the shuttle dance across the threads. Her grandmother would tell her stories of patience, resilience, and the art of self-mastery. “Weaving,” she would say, “is not just about creating beautiful patterns; it’s about mastering the rhythm of life.”
Elara took those words to heart. She practiced diligently, day after day. She learned to thread the loom with precision, to choose colors that harmonized, and to mend even the tiniest of mistakes. But it was the quiet moments—the spaces between the threads—that fascinated her the most. There, she discovered the true essence of self-mastery.
One stormy night, as rain drummed against the thatched roof, Elara sat at her loom. She had a vision—a tapestry that would capture the essence of the human spirit. She chose threads of courage, patience, and compassion. With each pass of the shuttle, she wove in a piece of her own soul.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Elara’s fingers moved with purpose, and her heart beat in sync with the loom. The villagers marveled at the unfolding masterpiece—the vibrant colors, the intricate patterns. But Elara knew that the true magic lay in the spaces—the gaps where the threads intersected and created something greater than themselves.
One day, a young girl named Lila approached Elara. “How do you do it?” she asked. “How do you weave such beauty?”
Elara smiled. “It’s not just about the threads,” she said. “It’s about the spaces—the pauses where we gather strength, reflect, and choose our next move. Self-mastery is like weaving a tapestry. We learn to embrace both the threads and the spaces.”
Lila listened intently, her eyes wide. Elara continued, “To master oneself, one must learn patience—to wait for the right moment, to mend the broken threads, and to create harmony from chaos.”
And so, Elara’s tapestry grew. It told stories of love and loss, of triumphs and setbacks. Each thread represented a choice, a lesson learned. And in the spaces, she found solace—the quietude that allowed her to listen to her own heart.
As the years passed, Elara’s masterpiece became legendary. People traveled from distant lands to witness its beauty. But Elara knew that the true magic wasn’t in the finished tapestry—it was in the journey, the countless hours spent at the loom, the mastery of self.
And so, she continued to weave, her hands moving with grace, her heart attuned to the rhythm of life. For in the spaces between the threads, she found her truest self—a weaver, yes, but also a seeker, a dreamer, and a master of her own destiny.
May we all find our own looms, our own quiet spaces, and weave the tapestries of self-mastery. 🌟
