What Does It Mean To
You?
Does your life not mean more to you than food and
drink. When you wake up everyday, is your life just filled with the everyday
routine of work, eat, sleep, save money, invest money, spend money and the
likes. Is that all there is to life and living, does it not mean more? I have
personally believed that there is more to life than what we perceive, even in
the seemingly little things. The visit to or from a dear friend, the smile we
share, the warmth we give and feel, the love, joy, support and friendship. The
ability to enjoy simple things such as music and talents which we are all given
in different ways. To some musicians, others artists and talents in a variety
of worlds.
If all you do
everyday seems to wear you out, then what life are you living and when does
true living begin? When do you get to smile and be grateful for the life that
you have been given. When do you get to appreciate those who have been brought
into your life for one reason or the other. At what point do you get to realize
that little things can destroy and big things can destroy too. Little things
can bring peace and joy and so can big things. Life is not spaced out into
different phases of appreciation. There is a verse in the Bible that says,
contentment with godliness is great gain. This simply means that in every
moment no matter the situation or circumstance, we should be able to smile and
be glad for what we have been given. Does your life add value to the lives of
other? Does it give people joy to see you or be in your presence. It might not
seem like the obvious thing to do but enjoying life means so much more than
money, cars and luxury living. There is pain and death for both the poor and
the wealthy, to him who has little and to him who has much, so the question you
should ask yourself is what have I been doing with my life everyday.
If you have a
family, and you have sacrificed your family for making more money and this
takes you away from your family day and night, what virtues have you left
behind and what lessons do your children learn from and also what kind of
people do they become. Our world has become what it is because of the choices
we have made and yes we all make choices. Not just the people in power or
command or authority. The lowly shop keeper makes a decision to be nice to her
customers or be grumpy. The employee makes a decision to be ambitious or to be
diligent in his or her work. There is always a better way to deal with
situations and circumstances than to do the obvious which is to focus all your
energies on a single target and forget all about the other areas of life. You
should know that what you lose today, you will never get back.
So in conclusion,
we would like you to take a good look at your life, see what it truly means and
take time to enjoy it all, when things do not go as well, ask for help, when
you can't find help, take pleasure in what you have, eitherway, it all comes to
pass, might as well enjoy the moments you have in ways that give peace, joy and
love to everyone involved
