SUNRISE : LIFE

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)
