LIFE

What is life all about?

I keep asking myself every single day what this life is all about, but I found no answer to this question till now. I searched newspapers, books of repute, asked friends and people around me perhaps they could tell me the answer to the question I kept asking myself every single day. But I got different opinions and views to the concept of Life.

I have chosen the following affirmations;

• Life is all about fulfilling purpose. What matters at the end is the purpose of life. Did you do what was right at every point in time? Did you serve God with a pure heart?

• Life is on purpose, every created soul is assigned. From the religious aspect, we are created to serve God. Same way engineers design machines to solve a specific problem, so has God created humans and given them different space to fill in whether in the family, community, society, office or the entire world. Man will continue wandering about if he fails to identify his purpose. And until this purpose is realized, Man shall face challenges, endure pains, struggle hard, be spiritually awake whilst seeking God's guidance and support. Once the goal is achieved, happiness is found and the persons’ life, fulfilled. From the religious aspect also, our purpose in life is to worship God in truth, every other thing is secondary .Life is beautiful, enjoy it!

• Life is what you perceive it to be. Knowing and accepting this will help you realize the significance of your existence, having to be purposeful, your prowess, weaknesses, challenges and aspirations. It's all about understanding the above, knowing where you stand and your perspective irrespective of the norm.

• Life is all about impact you make, one at a time. No matter how long you spend on Earth, what matters most is how many lives you touched. Some who live for a hundred years will be forgotten easily if they had no positive influence on anyone. On the other hand, someone who lives for so many years will be remembered by their good deeds and contributions to the world.

• Life is also about “Pursuit of Happiness”, everyone wants happiness. Sometimes the reason for wanting the happiness may remain elusive, but we are built to naturally seek fulfillment in things which are higher than us. But no matter the chase, life can only be truly lived when we spend time trying to draw closer and be pleasing to GOD, the Highest Authority. Life can be lived well by serving God and humanity, there can be no greater fulfillment than what comes from loving God and seeing ourselves as ONE in togetherness.

From my own point of view, life is much more than getting a good education, job or starting a family. We are all on a journey with a given task to achieve called “Destiny”. We all have different paths and tasks in life. But what makes all this special is that gift we all have.

We are gifted in our own little ways which can turn big if we work on or towards it...?

• Some people died with their gifts without realizing what they lived for or the purpose of their journey in life.

• Some lived a life of regret; because they didn't give it a try at all to see if it will work out for them.

• Some did give it a try but could not finish the task due to self doubt. While some made it in life through their dreams, impacting one way or the other in the society they lived which turns around to inspire thousands of people all over the world.

Here I am with mine! What is yours? Have u realized it yet? Have u given it try???

• You can start from anywhere, don’t doubt your strength. Push harder. Don’t give up on life until you achieve.

• You can achieve it all when you set your mind to it. The road to your journey may be rough at first, but with time the road will be smooth, there is nothing like a smooth mountain and you will be happy that you did something worthwhile with your life.

Don't let anyone tell you...you can't, prove them wrong that you can.

• Let it out, that other side of you that wants to do good and great things in this life.

• Go for it now. Anything that will make you happy, give it a try and see where it will lead you to. It's better to try than regret not trying it at all.

Let's live a life of fulfillment. We all have a role to play in this life.

Your life is a signature in the sands of time.
