LIFE

 

I was just sitting close to my window, a fortnight ago when a question popped into my head. I began to ask myself. What is the true meaning of life? I have come to the realisation that one cannot know all life is really about but we all can get to know how to live purposeful lives.

Life can be seen to be the ability to live, the period of one’s existence or the experiences that elude a human being. There is something about life that cannot be under-emphasised. Life is a principle and if you do not live by principles, you will be a total failure.

All through one’s existence, you will always come across various challenges and obstacles which would make you discouraged to carry on in life. One basic thing we need to know is the purpose for our existence. When we recognise it, we will surely make progress, but if we fail to do so, the waves of life shall blow purpose into the Atlantic Ocean.

The world is in a great dilemma and needs people like us to restore it to its glory. All we need to know is that life is like two sides of a coin. There is always one good side but we should not forget the bad side. Life is meaningless when you don’t have a purpose or reason to live. We should not focus on the irregularities of life and the discouragements it brings, instead, we should focus on the positive side.

Life is not all about “just living,” but life is all about WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself today. It doesn’t even depend on your background or history; it depends on your mind set. In life, do not focus on your past history or present situation, base your mind on your future which you hope will be better than today.

Another basic principle of life is the ability to strive for the best at all times. Don’t think low of yourself at any moment, instead, always hold yourself in high esteem. Now my question is this, what is the reason for life? This is a very controversial question, it seems rhetorical but when viewed from a different perspective, it has a simple answer. The reason for life can be traced back to the biblical aspect of God’s creation. God created man and gave him dominion over all the other creations and to enjoy His blessings.

We do not have to sit in water and still allow ourselves to be blindfolded by “soap.” Let’s realise that in all we do, the Almighty creator has a plan for our lives and we should ask Him at all times to help us recognise it and to fulfil it. Life is not a bed of roses, so buckle down and let your light so shine!
