The Price

Often times in life, I have seen and met people who live their lives as though tomorrow was non-existent. These set of human squander their today like it means nothing and when tomorrow which they thought was non-existent comes they freak out and repeat those things which they did in their today which is now yesterday hence they continue squandering each day of their lives until they realize they have no more today to squander and at this point life to them becomes nothing more than “HAD I KNOWN”.


The above has recently made me to wonder about what exactly happens to these set of humans who messes up their today with procrastination, silly excuses, life damaging actions and words wrong decisions and choices, bad friends and acquaintances, going to the wrong places daily, bad communication and everything evil you could think of and the only answer which comes to my mind is that “THEY PAY THE PRICE”. This price could be life changing either for good or for bad and most times could lead to self destruction or self realization but what’s important here is that these set of humans get to pay the price which to an extent do not matter to those who have chosen the part of self destruction but at the other hand means a lot to those who have chosen the part of self realization while paying the price.

Moreover, most times this price could be so huge that it might involve paying with the most treasured things in life, for example it was reported recently that a man in the United States caused his son’s death on the day of his graduation from college by refusing to believe that the people he accused of stealing a bottle of perfume he bought as a gift for his son on his graduation day wasn’t stolen by them; hence it is only after these set of humans pay off with this price that they realize how totally messed up they have become and at this point they are only left with two options which are, to continue messing up everyday of their lives and keep paying the pay or quit messing up everyday of their lives to turn a new leaf of life. It is at this juncture that these set of humans will either choose self destruction or self realization knowing gainfully well that they have what I call “SUPER LIMITED CHOICE”. Super limited choice in that for them life has now become a “yes, I can change” or a “no, I can’t change” and this is that sole point where they could cleverly cling to lives realities to become somebody or foolishly escape from lives realities to become nobody leading them to live life in misery and pains until the day when they decide to end their own lives by themselves or leave it to fate to take it away from them through natural causes with the later been mostly the choice for these set of humans.

However, the big question now is “How do you live your life?” Do you live your life messing everyday up? Do you live your life making the wrong choices and decisions? Do you live your life based on damaging actions and words? Do you live your live procrastinating daily? Do you live your life so freaking bad that everything good to you does not matter but everything evil to you matters a lot? If the answers to the above questions are all “hell yes!!” then you need to be careful because you actually belong to the set of humans who will soon start “PAYING THE PRICE”  or who are already “PAYING THE PRICE” for all the silly whatever  you have done and if time is not taken in the nearest future, you might be faced with the “SUPER LIMITED CHOICE ISSUE” which will either be your turning point to becoming a somebody or your destruction point to becoming a nobody all through life.

Furthermore you might ask, for how long will these prices be paid? The truth is that, the extent of the price anyone will pay for messing up their lives is totally dependent on how unfair and negligent they have been or were to life, its challenges and daily affairs. To some, they pay very little prices while others wallow paying huge prices but the most touching thing is that both groups of person described above get to feel the pains that life brings and gives to them as they pay these prices. So you and I have to be careful about everything in life and most especially how we manage ourselves in the cause of living life so as to avoid “PAYING THE PRICE”.

Finally if you are already paying the prices, I personally advice that you cling to the path of self realization which promises more hope than you ever will have elsewhere in life because this path has d light that your life needs to glow again in it utmost awesomeness.

Tragedy

Life itself  entails struggles which bring pains and joy and most times these pains amd joy takes us into that place where we feel that all that matters most to us is the end to life and living. I call this point tragedy.

Tragedy in that all there is to life for us has become nothing but illusions which cannot if care is not taken give us pleasure to reassure us of the treasure there are and that be to life and it's living...Life at this point is so tragic to us that we see nothing good at all in life.

Tragedy, has become so real in the lives of so many people that they have reached this point where they suddenly find themselves living on nothing but illusions and the believe that there's nothing good about life in whatsoever form because of the very places they have been opportuned to have found themselves in their course of living life which  so endangered them and the life they wish they had. Hence turning them into nothing but scavengers who at all cost against themself keep saying this is the best life can offer to me; such that this has become their daily way of thinking which in return makes life harder than the very worst they have presumed it earlier to be.

The tragedy of life is brought about by the places we go, people we associate with and also by those decisions, choices and actions that we carry out during that period of time when life did neglect us therefore putting us into that place where even the very men we wish the worst of situation in life will never ever find themselves yet the prayer we do/ often pray for these kinds of people has become nothing but our implication which over time turns into our solid portions. Life at this juncture has become nothing more or less than tragedy because anyone who happens to find themselves in this ugly scenario will forever wish and want themselves dead because to them nothing seems good about life anymore.

Notwithstanding the above, there are people who though have been to these places which haven't been too favorable and friendly to them yet they have the utmost believe that life with its tragedy is just there to push them into that realm where nothing but good tidings will all through the remaining days of their lives befall them as though they were the only ones there are in planet earth. Hence, these group of persons are the ones who have seen and tasted it all but still have their hope so alive that they even have it all written down in their memory that "I am a victor over life's tragedy and not a victim to life's tragedy" and this is the sole point in life where they have drawn their victory and their life today atest to this fact, as such they make it rain like never before in any aspect of life they chose to make a difference all because of the strong will to live life at its best amidst all the tragedies of life.

SO

Why kill yourself, your good dreams and all those things which brings you happiness all because in the moment life hasn't been friendly?

Why abuse life as though you abuse will change life just because you are having your own share of life's bitterness which has come to make you a better person?

Why complain to every Tom and Harry about how unfair life has and still is to you, when all you need is stay stronger than never before?

Why try to blame others for the present when you could actually use the moment to think about your past life's choices and decisions and how they might have contributed to where you find yourself today?

Why get upset about life when all you need is to really think about all those favorable moments life has brought you and assure yourself that all will be well again?

The tragedy of life is so so more than you and I think, this is the reason why every man or even governments do have a fair share of life's TRAGEDY. A fair share in that it comes to either you or me in ways which can put us all off our feet but with a sole choice based on our reaction when it does come.

Therefore, act wisely by making the right choices and decisions whenever you are faced with life's tragedy..

The Dangers in Negligence

The danger of Negligence has become more or less a reap as you sow thing. It has come to confirm that a man will and might loose everything called precious in his or her life all because of not doing things in the best of ways possible. This danger is such that has left many and will continue to leave many paralyzed about achieving the plans, dreams and goals that once was the cornerstones for living life.Hence, negligence has raped them off their rightful places in life because  life is a race and this race  we run daily in our course of living life. Therefore, negligence on the part of man has now become a scourge that has eaten deep into men and women not minding their background; as such it is found amongst the little children, youths and even adults so that you could hardly see anyone performing his or her obligations without noticing a little negligence as they do so.

The dangers of negligence are numerous but the most heart breaking amongst all these is that "it kills a man/woman rendering such a man useless over time". Negligence kills a man or woman by firstly taking away those little things which brings him/her alive and this leads further into a place called "isolation" which over time makes a man/women to care less about himself/herself hence chosing the path of self destruction rather than looking for ways to make right his/her wrongs.

More so, negligence will leave you a prisoner to yourself in that you will always say I will do this and I will that next time but the truth remains that you will never do any of those and at last you become unhappy with yourself and with the way you handle things which if not checked and corrected will bring you to that place where you will totally become unhappy with yourself and feeling comfortable about the whole situation which in return will take you into been in prision with your own self. This is a gradual thing because it happens "One step at a time"

Furthermore, negligence affects your  total way of thinking becuase you probably will come to that place where you will say afterall "it is my way of life" and this will totally prevent you from thinking right and over time all you will think will rather be assumptions that thinking real and when you live your life totally on assumptions rather than facing reality, then you life has become not but a mere flakes which if much care is not taken will end up in something called "had I known"

Finally, negligence takes away you from you. This implies that it makes you someone else because it takes away the very original version of you and make you a photocopy that doesn't even match up in any way to the original you and been this photocopy of yourself robs you of your destiny and hence you live your entire life chasing lies.

Negligence the very lie that destroys even the greatest of men...flee from it  and achieve that which is enshrined in your destiny because you might end up living your life upside down if you keep fit in negligence.

The Mirror

Have you ever wondered why there is something like the mirror? Have you ever asked yourself how you would have known how handsome or pretty you were? Or have you ever wondered if the mirror depicts some other things apart from showing us our looks? If you have not asked or wondered about all these, then you need to brace up and know that life without the mirror would have been mockery in display amongst men and women.

Today, our thought(s) brought into display by our action(s) is like the mirror. Have you ever looked at your actions and screamed, smiled, even felt good or bad? If yes, then you have made use of the mirror of life. Life is governed by the principle of the mirror which to an extent encompasses whatever and the very things we feel are so not important to us.

More so, any life lived under the cover of the mirror is sure to achieve greatness which is accompanied by a total fulfillment of destiny. In essence, the mirror is your mindset. Your mindset is the show room to every good or bad that comes to play in our live, it is the genesis of the human beauty; it represents the epitome of our ultimate pursuit at the expense of living life in stray directions. This mindset is the only child of an inner being which is of utmost importance and ever present in the human life even at birth and until death.  However, most humans fail to recognize this being as such depriving this being of its utmost roles in their lives.

This being is called “conscience”. It is the mirror at which all life doings are displayed either

for good or for bad but for all I know it is very crucial to human’s existence because it helps access every of our thoughts that is brought to limelight by our actions and this it does so as to ascertain the level of beauty which springs from within us. Hence, it is the mirror of the human life. To some, it has been helpful and to others it has been destructive because they failed to give ears to the warnings which the mirror gives as towards every of their thoughts and actions.

The human conscience is more than just a tool to ascertain lives beauty. It encompasses the

whole man as it is also involved in decision making. So what image do you see in life’s mirror about yourself as you continue living life under the influence of your tomorrow, your thoughts and actions. Life to me is more than just now, therefore make use of the mirror of life in all that you do and will be doing.

Dreams and Reality

In life people dream, some have dreams and some wish for dreams. Most of these dreams are born out of passion and perseverance yet the truth is, there’s a huge difference between dreams and reality and this, people fail to understand. Most people today, live in their own world which I have come to call “the world of illusion”. This world can best be described as that place where men and women who have failed to differentiate between dreams and realities live. It is that place which humans find themselves as a result of the “emotional battles” brought about by failure to relate their dreams to their past, present and future and as such living in this place never eludes them more than they themselves have eluded their comfort.

More so, many have dreams and have because of these dreams stayed in that place called “comfort zone” as a result of the faith with which they tend to worship and revere all of their dreams as relates to their manifesting into reality or rather to their becoming tangible. The comfort zone is that place where we feel so safe as a result of our dreams that we tend to totally forget that our dreams can possibly be a limitation to our achieving whatever we believe on achieving in life. This is believed to lead to becoming a total failure which comes to place from the said inability to differentiate our dreams and reality and also relating our dreams with reality in order to see how tangible our dreams can become over time.

Therefore, what are dreams and reality? Dreams are standard set in the mind and reality is standard played by life for us to believe or disbelieve our dreams. Dreams and reality are totally one big puzzle that whenever any man misses the very truth about these two, they find themselves asking questions which only takes but eternity for their answers to come. The very truth that I have discovered about these two is that, there is just a thin line difference between them which are, dreams are totally pictures brought to being in our mind because of our passion and ambition which we deem as perfect in order to live the best life while reality is life’s picture brought into play by circumstances, situations and of course experiences which come our way in our living of life.

So, what is the thin difference between dreams and reality?  The thin difference between these two is that dreams are the human mind pictures and reality is the human life picture. You may ask, how does this two correlate? The answer is quite simple but complicated. These two are so correlated because the other helps to shape the later and this has great effect on the very human pasts, presents and future. Dreams and reality correlate because, without dreams there can never be reality and without reality there can never be dreams. Our dreams and the amount of faith we have in our dreams shape our realities because it is that which we believe we can conceive, receive and achieve. Believing in our dreams plays key roles but going outside the comfort zone and the world of illusion which dreams takes you into brings about perfection of reality through dreams.

Having said the above, most humans do always find themselves in a place called “insincerity of dreams” and once this happens; humans tend to always become total failure because their dreams from the onset were not tangible and they were not borne out of a sincere mindset. Insincerity of our dreams is that place where everything we dream is total illusion. Illusion in the sense that it leaves us of no choice of good because what we called dreams was a hush and total fallacy and as such reality has no place for them.

Therefore, it becomes penitent for me to tell you that dreams without plans cannot become reality and will only end up as fallacy and a sham which will only bring you shame. Hence, I advice that you need to plan on every of your dreams because planning is that hand which puts life into your dreams and positive actions makes your dreams real and tangible.

Finally, know that life without a dream is no life, dream without a plan is worthless, plan without positive action amounts to been dead while you presume yourself to be alive and it is best in life to dream to reality.

The WHY question!

The WHY question,  is often the question most of us ask ourselves and other around us in so many situations and circumstances that comes our ways as we live life having fun and staying focused on our goals and dreams, This three letter word question has become to an extent a way/means for some persons to release stress or subdue emotions. The BIG  question is, does the answers to this question come up immediately we scream why?. The answer is a strong NO!

Asking WHY to me most times seems like a wastage of our precious time because there are certain times, situation and circumstances where we ask WHY that only amounts to total nonsense because it will take eternity for the answer to the WHY this and  WHY that happened in that particular time, situation and circumstance to come, so it is better not to ask why and just keep quiet observing events as they unfold so that the very lessons which such times, situations and circumstances carries will rightly be learned and understood.

Personally, there are certain events that have happened to me starting from childhood to where I am today and I have asked the WHY questions but it has been more or less a disappointment to me that I still search for the answers even till date but have not found any to the numerous WHY questions which I have asked and as such I have learned never to ask the WHY question again.

Life itself is a journey, as such we must encounter ugly situations and circumstances which will pose as threats to our present life and the life we wish for ourselves in the future but with the understanding that nothing in life comes easy, we should stare these ugly situations in the face with positivity rather that asking the WHY question which will only leave us devastated and deprived of our right to control and dominate over wherever we find ourselves and whatever we encounter either wile living life or on our way to the top.

So WHY ask WHY when you know the answer will take eternity to come?

So WHY ask WHY when asking might make you go rebellious?

So WHY ask WHY when you have not even learnt a single lessons from such situations?

So WHY ask WHY when it will amount to wastage of your useful time and cause you pains in return?

So WHY ask WHY when you certainly know it will leave you much burdens than what you are faced with?

So WHY ask WHY when you do not even expect answers?

Conclusively, asking the WHY question is not wrong because it could help you subdue emotions and release stress but be careful in your asking so as not to increase the burdens which comes with living life either in the positive or negative.
