3 Things that you will do this Friday which determines your future

16 October 2009 16 Comments

Three1. Friends

Every Friday evening is considered a time to relax and reflect on the past week. This time is shared with friends.

The friends that you spend your Friday with are normally not the Tom and Harry from the street. They know your closet and your place of work. You share memorable moments. You communicate in a common language. You understand each other well. No arguments, just a difference in opinions. They are you and you are them. If you get lost, these friends are the ones whom police can approach first for questioning.

There is something really worthy of considering. Did you know that?

  • If I want to know how much you earn, I just need to average earnings of your 5 close friends
  • If I want to know the money in your bank account, I just need to get the average of the money in the accounts of your 5 close friends.
  • If I want to know the car you drive, I need to look at the cars that 5 of your friends drive.
  • If I need to know your level of education, I only need to look at highest level of education of your 5 friends.
  • More seriously, If I want to know how far you will go in Life, I need to listen to goals/ambitions and aspirations of your 5 friends.

As you prepare to enjoy this Friday, Choose your friends wisely. They will determine your future.

2. The venues you visit

The venue that you will visit this Friday is justified. It is neither good nor bad. However, it will mould you into a pot of some kind.

Having read the above, you can guess where I am heading with this section. This evening some of us will go to an overnight prayer session, others will head to a pub, others will head straight home to their spouses and others will head to business club meeting.

You know your destination pretty well.

All these venues will manufacture you into a product. Decide wisely the kind of product you want to be.

3. Things you think, talk about and do

Normally I watch my thoughts. Sometimes I laugh at my thoughts, other times I am mesmerised. Thoughts can be as wild as you can imagine or can be very friendly and inspiring. This article is as a result of a thought. This shows you a product of a thought.

Thoughts are inspired by something. The ‘something’ can be a person, a thing, an experience, a feeling or even another thought.

The thoughts can either be held in mind or verbalised. For sure this Friday you will verbalise some thoughts to your friends.

Thoughts can lead straight to an action. Thoughts can also lead to a talk then to an action.

Your thoughts this Friday will most likely be influenced by your friends, maybe their dressing or what they say. Maybe they will give you a business idea that will transform your life.

Your thoughts this Friday will be influenced by what you see at your venue. Maybe you will see a beautiful girl who will be your future wife. Maybe you will see Mr right. Maybe you will see God, who knows!

Eventually your thoughts will lead to an action. Action is the most important in the whole process. The action that you take will either propel you to greatness, or it might lead you to oblivion.

    @Joshua. You are up there with the best. Couldn't have put it better. In fact Fridays are known within my "kitchen cabinet" as Boys Day Out. My life patner thinks just like you. She is so much a "mwekuru wa kimiiru" she knows that just as Iron Sharpens Iron, one man brightens another. She practically encourages me to go see my buddies on Friday evenings and has no problem with me coming very late in the night. I have learnt so much in the boys "meetings" I now think I'm a doctor, engineer, policeman, soldier, marketer, accountant, lawyer, computer wizard, economist, journalist, farmer, businessman, husband, father, teacher, politician, elder and so much more all wrapped in one – courtesy of the Friday's "kiuthine". Don't you think our meru ancestors were not geniuses? They used to hold similar sessions.
