There's always someone who calls you and instantly makes your day. It could be your best friend, partner, parent, or just someone who is full of life. There are also people you could spend hours talking to on the phone while there are some you will ignore whenever they call.
If someone only ruins your day, there's no need to indulge them. You could pick up their call and politely tell them that you are busy working on something. There's a Swahili saying that goes ‘usikatae wito, kataa uitiwalo.'
That simply means that you should not refuse or ignore a call, but you can turn down whatever you are being called for. You may never know why someone is calling you. Whether it's a phone call or they asked you to go and meet them.
It's wise to accept the call and hear them out. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine being ignored by someone the same way you want to ignore them. No one likes being ignored. But showing up and politely declining what they want is more mature, and respectful leaving both of you feeling better.
Another call you should answer is the voice within. Sometimes our instinct will try to guide us in a particular direction. You will have what others say is a ‘calling.'
A calling is a strong urge towards something. It could be a career, an activity, or a thing. When you get this call, do not ignore it. Follow that voice because that is probably your purpose calling you.
If you don't answer a calling, it always nags you until you answer. Even if it takes years for you to head its call. Our ‘call quotes' will encourage you to answer when you are called. Whether it's by someone or by your heart trying to guide you.
