LIFE

Life isn't what happens to you, but how you take or handle what happens to you. We have no control over what happens to us incase of misfortunes whatsoever but we have vast choices to make with regard to how we react towards the misfortunes.

Life is fair because it offers all the same time, measured by seconds, hours, days, weeks, months and years. We all have 24hrs in a day and how we utilize it is entirely upto us. If we could learn to count the life we live out of these measurements of time rather than counting the time out of our life, we could accomplish a lot with our own set period or deadline.

Some of us unnecessarily compare ourselves with others, that's the one mistake that will potentially turn our lives upside down. I believe everyone has come to earth of the living with purpose and that purpose doesn't include comparison to others. Uniquely as we are we should put our energy into exploring what makes us tick, I mean we all have our talents burried somewhere within us and what we need is to find what it is and capitalise on it.

Never let life pass you by because someone has cut you short at some corner somewhere, never let your mind dictate you into seeking revenge for such, instead find a lesson out of the misfortune and make sure you never repeat the same thing ever again. Negativity will never in a millions years bring positive outlook to your life. Love drives out hatred and light drives out darkness, this is how we should understand our lives too. We cannot reach ahead by sitting comfortably but we can achieve our aspirations by acting on our ideas and dreams. Anything is possible if we put our mind and focus on it. Even the word "impossible" say I am possible when broken. Break free from perssimism, negativity and other things that serve you no significant value to your life. Lastly, be mindful of what you tell yourself. Always nurture your thoughts with possibilities, optimism and believe in yourself.

Knowledge of self.

Every being is bestowed with a unique talent or gift. To know yourself is to have power over external probable derailment factors. When we have insight, we are able to choose between what's right or wrong, we are able to reason, to think with logic and accept the wrongs we may have done to others.

Knowing self is advantageous, it prevents unnecessary emotional unstableness. It gives us a hand ahead when faced with upheavals in our lives. It helps us build a stronger resilience. No amount of negativity would derail somebody who is self-aware.

Self-concept, self-esteem, self sufficiency develop once you have a good relations with yourself mentally. You build self-reliance and confidence thus self-knowledge. For a strong mental self-awareness, always find a way to think positive about yourself, even when you find yourself in a negative situation. Find optimism in your daily life, encourage yourself to be a better person, not than someone else but a person you were yesterday.

Always guard what you tell yourself, never in a rainy day ever tell yourself you are unable to do something. Hold yourself up high but be mindful that you don't become egocentric. Believe in yourself and be yourself.

Learn from a drunkard.

When a drunkard is intoxicated and has his favourite drink in his hand, walking in a staggering way, he ascertains that his drink doesn't spill. He congruently assures that his grip on the beverage is as firm as a steel rod on the concrete wall. He affirms his love for the drink by never letting it go off his hand even though he walks in a staggered way. Even if he falls he will never let his drink spill nor break. He lifts it over his head away from the hard surfaces so that he would continue indulge on his exotic adult beverage. He is consistent and disciplined in terms of how he handles it.

He who has hard times walking this path of life should surely learn something from him. He should not give up easily when life pushes him sideways or even backward for he has a dream to fulfil. He should stand his grounds when challenges come his way, find better way to pass through the obstacles and hardship of life, for his goal would never come true on it's own. Believe that everything comes to an end, including the hardships of life. Hope that tomorrow, as a new dawn crawls in, it brings new energy to tackle the obscures in your life. Breathe, it's not the end of your life. It's just a tough and rough stage in it.

Blood Fued

Rivalry

Gone are the days when blood sisters and brothers were exactly that. Shamelessly, brothers have turned against each other, they spill blood like water spilling from untightened tap.

Sisters gossip about one another to the outsiders, blood has become thinner than water as blood siblings become blood enenemies.

Since the parents departed this earth, things are no longer the same. Visitation of siblings have vanished like Dew drops at sun light. Theirs is to point fingers at one another like sworn enemies.

Help; help has become a scarcity to find within the blood relatives. It has become a commodity that comes at a certain price when it's needed.

Oh... How have we forgotten our forefathers way of life? What have we become? A ruthless relative, that doesn't matter if one of their own sinks deep into their death hole, they wouldn't care to lend a helping hand?
