DEATH

Death is something everyone must succumb to, yet few persons succumb to it earlier then others. 

Carefully go through this, and try not to be disturbed about this simple truth rather let it be an answer to that your long unanswered question.

What is Death?
Death to me...
Is living a life without VISION and  PURPOSE.
Is seeing life as though everything is IMPOSSIBLE.
Is taking actions with reasoning WHY.
Is making a DECISION without thinking of the AFTER EFFECTS.

Is NEGLECTING now and FOCUSING on TOMORROW.
Is the LIES you TELL YOURSELF DAILY.

How Doe Death come?
Death comes the moment we forget about/neglect the future.

How can we escape death?
Death could be escaped by the desire and practice to live life on the foundation of VISION and purpose.

Is that all about Death?
No, death is also a thing of the mind.

How do I mean by this?
Death becomes a thing of the mind the moment you stop thinking before taking decisions. Thinking in time or over time.

How does Death affect us in our decisions?
Death helps in destroying any man, as such; a destroyed man cannot think because he/she is actually dead in the mind and since the mind is the power house of all our thinking and thoughts; hence any decisions made in such state will be a sham and a total exposure of the extent of our life and living.

How do we escape Death?
This death is totally not the one we die and live the earth for another place of existence but it still can be coroneted with the physical death. This death can only be escaped when we prioritize the very most important things in our lives and undergoing a process of self recovery driven by VISION AND PURPOSE which though might take time but in the long run pays off for good.

Death is hovering around youths these days to steal their intellect, dreams and visions. Try not to allow yourself to be entangled by whatsoever form of death because Life in death is utmost punishment.

Death, living a life shattered because no vision is clear about life and the purpose of life is blur in the mirror.

Past Successes!

Life is a journey backed up by successes and failures and these successes or failures are such that they can keep us going or destroy us depending on the mindset with which we welcome either of this two and also how we treat them as time goes on for us. Hence past success are those things and feat we have accomplished during our past endeavors, its those accomplishment with which people measure our tomorrow and infact our lifetime, yet these can destroy us in a very short time as compared to how long it took us to achieve them. Therefore, be careful of your past success. 

Past successes are meant to keep us on guide and track but they sure can become our nightmare the moment they become our pride, pride in the sense that we feel we can achieve it because we achieved it yesterday, yes of course! you can achieve it again but how sure are you that you will achieve it when pride instead of dignity has taken over you. Pride in the sense that you brag about your yesterdays successes with every little chance you get, forgetting that each day comes with new challenges that needs new approaches and as such the approach you used yesterday might not be the same approach which will give you the required success that you desire presently.

My past successes of a truth has become my immediate foe because I so much trusted in them that I need not put in efforts to gain knowledge and experience in order to make tomorrows stories a success too but nay I had been wrong in thinking so and as such I became a victim to my own pride which has led to loss of total self confidence in almost all my endeavors. I don't know about you but this is my own story. A story centered on trash but will be made to make sense, a story which if ignored might lead me to that place where nothing but self guilt and loss of self confidence will be the result, a story were truth has been dropped and replaced by reasons that could devastate anyone. Yet in all believe me, I have so many past successes which has become my foes.

What am I trying to say? All I'm saying here is that, the fact that you were a big success yesterday does not in any way guaranty that you will be a success today and tomorrow, it does not guaranty that you will also be that very best you used to be, believe it or not, when life is lived based on past success, today and tomorrow eclipse us in such a way that regret will be the outcome at the end of the road of life, regret in the sense that you had every opportunity to make it happen today and tomorrow just as you did in the past but failed to do so because you so much believed that all you needed do was follow the principles of the past and the answer to todays and tomorrows ever changing challenges will certainly showcase, nay this is fallacy of the highest order because you sure will fail and fail again not until you realize that yesterdays efforts are only todays and tomorrows backbones.

So with the knowledge that no human is perfect, it becomes relevant to say that my view about past successes might be wrong and to an extent does not even for a second makes sense hence it could be called "NONSENSE" but remember that out of every "NONSENSE" there is still "SENSE". Sense in the fact that if you relax yourself thoroughly and get to understand about life through another perspective other than that which you have presently, then I bet you sure will come to know that what I have just said about past successes are real, true and totally practical.

Furthermore, Personally I am so success oriented but I must say that a times we do fail because all there is to think about in us is just success and success because of the histories of our past which speaks nothing but of our past successes. hmmm..this is a huge problem in the sense that we only view life in one direction as such, we forget the other side where failure exist, this is totally good but I sure can tell you that we are closer to failure than success the moment we start doing this because of our past success. So all I can say here and need say here is BE CAREFUL LEAST YOU FALL NEVER TO RISE AGAIN.

Remember, we can make everyday of our life a success but one day of failure can destroy all of our success stories. It is easier to succeed and much more easier to fail.

DIE EMPTY

Today started like any other day for me. I had intentions of sleeping so early, at least before 12 midnight , notwithstanding after 12 midnight I still found myself all awake without sleep which to the obvious seemed so far away from me. Been in this state for almost  2 hours, I started  having random thoughts about life and how best I could live my life in other to be whom I have at all cost with known intentions of integrity and power of the human mind dreamed and hoped to be all through life.

It was at this state of random thoughts that this indelible sting  hit me like a bullet from an auto-raffle, this totally left me a weak man. What hit me was "Will I die empty", I was so shocked because thinking about death was like saying "I want to die". So shocked in the sense that this kind of thought has never ever one day crossed my mind as such I had lived life in maybe one or several of the worst ways that any human could ever dream of living his/her life. And this thought kept re-echoing in my mind, head and infact my whole being. Hence, I started pondering deeply on this thought and the more I pondered on it, the more scared and shocked I had become, and the more scared and shocked I became; the more I get my inner mind which has been spontaneously activated by the reason of this thought so worked up that I at least can boost of the fact that I began to understand this thought the more and more deeper I get scared and shocked.

Therefore, I started asking myself this question "When I die, will I die empty"?.  Die empty of what? Die empty of the great talents and gifts that has been deposited in me by my creator, Die empty of the good works that my creator has asked me to carry out as an assignment to mankind, Die empty of the life lived in expense of others, Die empty with the fact that a good name is better than silver and gold, Die empty with an assurance that there lies a crown of righteousness for me,  Die empty with the understanding that I have finished every work that I ought to have done on earth and have fought all battles that I am meant to fight, Die empty of every good and good works that lies within me, Die empty of the blessings that my creator created me for, Die empty by going back empty handed withholding nothing back from men and women of this world, Die empty having performed what my life and living define, Die empty without any unexpressed emotions and feelings to my loved ones, Die empty without prejudice of whatsoever thing that's called good which lies within me. This is a continuous list of the "DIE EMPTY PHRASE".

Nevertheless, it still is as important to state that this thought is as important as the air we breath because it can change ones life totally in a twinkling of an eye...If I die will I die empty?

I urge you to think deep and see so you can come to a conclusion about how best to live your life..If you die, will you die empty?

I just wanted to share this mind blowing thought which kept me all awake even when I had planned to sleep early...If You and I Die, will we DIE EMPTY?


This life is but like an imagination....it can end in a twinkle of an eye and if it does end this way, ask yourself as much as I am asking myself....WILL I DIE EMPTY?
