WE NI NUGU, MIMI APANA!

I never watched any of The Lion King movies until yesterday. After over three hours of staring at the screen nonstop, I’m like ‘wow!’.  That’s exactly what I needed.  Some inspiration.

I have spent a lot of my time thinking, contemplating, trying to figure out what I want, what I need, what I have to do. I’m not saying Simba gave me answers, although Rafiki gave me lots a clues, I am barely reacting to the energy, passion and emotion surrounding both films. Shit happens; it’s how we clean ourselves after, that matters.

‘Asante sana, squash banana,

We ni nugu, mimi apana.’

Rafiki chants for a while. After much rewinding and forwarding trying to figure out what he’s saying, I realize, he’s not making any sense. It doesn’t have to make sense. But I get it now. It was irrelevant.

Not everything is supposed to have meaning. These are better of ignored if you have to make progress. Forwarding and rewinding will do you no good. In fact you’re going to feel like you’ve wasted time on something useless. Well, yeah, it was a teaching moment but what did you learn? That it’s unimportant?

I beat myself up all day for being lazy, not doing what I’m supposed to do.

I just noticed that statement has no relevance to what I’m trying to say here but you get my point. Ignore it, its unimportant as much as it is true.

The soundtrack of the second movie ‘He lives in me’ by Tina Turner is responsible for my good mood today. I have no idea to who she refers to but I know I want to listen to it again and again. Yes, this information is very relevant in case you’re wondering.

That song that gets you in that good is not unimportant.

Keep it. You’re going to need it
