Say something; do something.

Silence, they say, is golden but silence could sometimes breed indifference and characterize our existence with no relevance.

Indeed, there are times to keep quiet and understand the interconnections between issues before lending our voice or taking any action. However, there are also times when keeping quiet becomes a crime of unpardonable magnitude.

To many, the fear of being misunderstood or criticized often perpetuates silence; the concern with being labeled or rejected often causes folly to take center-stage while wisdom goes into hiding.

Perfection would cripple taking initiatives; the dread of making mistakes will birth sons and daughters of Inertia. Imperfection, failure, and fear, however, are building blocks of success.

What we don’t say will not be said; what we don’t do, will not be done.

Life is like a vapor; it might have dispersed by the time we are ready to talk or act. The days of every human are similar to a patch of cloud in the sky, they might have moved on by the time we find it comfortable to use our voice and might.

On matters of fulfilling our purpose, silence is not an option. When it comes to voicing out where our voice is needed, inaction becomes an offense. Remember the Good Book also says that if anyone knows how to do good and fails to act, then to him or her, it is wrongdoing.

The clock is ticking fast, our purpose has waited too long at our doors.

Today is the day to embrace the reason for our existence - to say something and be known for something, to do something, and to be remembered for something. It may just be too late if we push it till tomorrow.
