Life
is a journey, even though our paths are different, we are all walking towards a
particular direction, aiming for the top.
It
is sometimes not easy to stay on course, there are distractions along the way,
one can easily lose focus and end up facing the wrong direction, It takes a lot
of courage, determination and passion to stay true to one's path.
Many
people often get lost in the maze of life, they turn left, they turn right and
sometimes turn backwards, they are not really sure which way to go, confusion
is their bane.
The
road to self-discovery may feel like taking a course in rocket science but
those who have discovered themselves and know what they want may seem to be
going on a cruise through life. This can be deceptive at times as not all that
glitters is gold.
Everyone
has their own challenges to face; life is not a bed of roses.
If
we are wise and we learn to put on the right shoes for every phase of life,
things would be much easier.
We live to learn every day, there is always a lesson to be learnt,
taught by the great teacher called life. Lessons from poverty,; riches, relationships
of friendship or love, success or failure and from proactivity or inactivity. Some
can break you down or utterly destroy one’s psyche while others are worthwhile
and would build one up.
In this world, karma roams about on a witch-hunt seeking those to
favour or curse, make no mistake about it whatever a man sows, he shall surely
reap. If you pour goodness, hard work, love, generousity and humility into its bosom,
it will pay you back with a good gold coin but peradventure you pour wickedness,
pride, procrastination and laziness into its bosom, the result would be
disastrous and would leave a bad taste in the mouth, inadvertently you get
served what you deserve.
A splendorous youth and glorious old age, many would love, but
often said how we spend our youth will determine if we would enjoy old age. Spend
wisely, gain richly; the way we use our bodies and manage our health, the choice
keeping the right companions that would help us stay focused on the right path
or make one get lost in the woods, exercising discipline over time, money and
self, leaving the mind fallow, which is a terrible thing to do are just some of
the things one needs to work through in this journey of life in order to be the
master of events.
A common mistake made by most youth is thinking we have all the
time in the world to accomplish something. I am still young we say, we still
got time on our hands, forgetting that time waits for no one and would soon fly
away into the sunset. Although this should not make one walk through the way of
blind desperation but a clarion call for careful preparations, being proactive
is the aim.
Age is really nothing but a number, so if you think you are too
young or too old to be an achiever, you will only have yourself to blame in the
end, because it is better to launch out into the deep and find out firsthand
what could happen than to take a back seat and wonder how things could turn out.
Work hard to create an avenue for income, pray hard for God
Almighty to bless the work of your hands and play hard for all work and no play
makes Jack and Jill dull.
There comes a time in our lives when we find ourselves in a prime position
to give advice but there are times when we need to be bold enough to take our
own advice. That is life; it is a pill we all must learn to swallow.
The idea
is setting goals
And work
to watch them unfold
Time
will tell if they excel
Time
will tell if they excel
And the Lord God
will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body,
and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the
Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy
fathers. (Deut. 30: 9 KJV)
