Life in a nutshell

If we don’t defeat what is controlling us, then this can defeat us, and if we do not conquer ourselves, we are then conquered by ourselves. If we don’t set a base line standard for what we accept in life; we will find it easy to mistake into quality of life that is far below what we deserve. The biggest adventure we can ever take is to live the life of our dreams. And it is very true that we only begin to live when we discovers the dream of our lives. So, we don’t need to ask what the world needs; but what makes us alive, because the world needs people who come to live, and those are people who have discovered the dreams of the lives. So, the greatest use of life is to spend it doing something that will outlast it.

Life is not only about finding, but also creating ourselves. Whenever we discover what we can do best; it becomes our first step of finding ourselves, but when we begin doing it in the best way possible, we begin creating ourselves. Creating ourselves means living a life of great signifance; a life of not only doing what we love, but also doing what we love and makes others better people. . It is also so hard to win others to our side until when they know that what we do has a great positive impact on their lives. In the same way, it is very hard to impact people with what you do until when you love to do it in the best way possible. We need to know that the love we put in whatever we do is the first step towards achieving our big dream.

Whenever we begin to follow the life of our dream, we create the kind of live we want to live. Life is also like riding a bicycle to keep your balance you must keep moving. In the same way, life to keep on moving we must do the right thing, do it in the right way with right people and the right time, but not also forgetting to value our relationships with others. In other words, we must love what we do because love covers all aspects of life. Life becomes meaningless when we are doing nothing, because no one can ever be valued for doing nothing. In the same manner, we must create value and keep meaningful relationships. Life without work and meaningful relationships is not only nothing but much more meaningless. It is also true that no man can achieve his dream alone; we need others and others also need us.

The purpose of life is not necessary to be happy, but to be useful. As we know that shared happiness is a double happiness. Life comes more enjoyable and meaningful when become useful and meaningful to each other’s. We were not created for ourselves, but purposely for others, and even others were not created for themselves but for us. There is nothing we can do and become without others. In other words, we can do and live because of others. Therefore, life without others ceases to be called life. This is why it is always said that, ‘‘no man is an island’’ Other people’s lives are so significant to our lives, as our lives are also significant to others. Life to become significant is choice which can be taken or ignored.

The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live. And to live is the rarest thing in the world because most people just exist. We tend to exist when put more time in doing what is only valuable to ourselves, and we begin to live when we do what is valuable to both ourselves and others. In this case, the whole point of being alive is to live a life that improves on the value of not only to us but even others. , but life’s biggest challenge is deciding what is important, and then disregarding the rest.

In life; we have one life to live, and the only way out to live it is to be the best friends to ourselves in the best way possible. We need to be proud of ourselves, this means to love what we are. It is very hard for a person to live a life beyond his current situation unless he loves or accepts what he is. We become limited when we don’t accept what we are, and we become limitless when we love what we are. To evolve into the complete person we are supposed to be it requires total acceptances of what we are. We need to remember that it is what we are, that brings what we want or what we want to be. It is very hard for a person to achieve far beyond what he is in life. It is what we are that attracts many other things in our lives.

Be proud of yourself, this means that you have to like yourself. You cannot encourage yourself if you don’t love yourself. So try to be your own best friend. Talk to yourself, as you would like others to talk to you. Create time for yourselves, and listen to yourself. Sometime life become hard for us because we create more time for others, and then forgets ourselves. We need to know that without ourselves; our lives to others have no signifance. The best advises we can ever get life, most of them can come from ourselves. Other people’s advice may have no value if we don’t advise ourselves rightly. To listen to other people’s advice is one of the advise we can give to ourselves. In most cases, ourselves are controlled by others simply because we don’t create time for ourselves and then listen. The greatest power that controls our lives come from within, but not from out. An African proverb, puts it clearly that, “if there is no enemy within, the enemy outside has no power.” This shows us how significant our inner voices are. It is always obvious that whenever we stop to create time and listen to ourselves, we begin fighting ourselves. In others words, we become enemies to ourselves from within yet the proverb emphases that the enemies from out have no power until the enemies come from within.

Another way to make ourselves better people in life is to surround ourselves with the right people. We need to have elders who inspire us to dream more, the age mates who believe in our dreams to support us., and young people whom we also inspire to dream more. In other words, we need to surround ourselves with the right people of high potentials, who can strengthen, build up, encourage and support us. We always stand high chances of succeeding in life when we surround ourselves with the right people. But when we surround ourselves with people of low potentials, they weaken us, and we stand high chances of failing in life.

Every relationship we make affects us in one way or the other. Those who do not make us better will automatically weaken us. In particular, those who cannot help us to grow up will obviously de-cultivate and break up us. If we are strong today, and then we surround ourselves with strong people; we will become stronger tomorrow than today. If we are weak today, and then we surround ourselves with weak people; we will become weaker tomorrow than today. We need to reach out for people who can optimism us up to real our life goals..

Our future is also determined by the nature of the relationships we keep today. If we are in health and meaningful relationships; the future becomes health and meaningful. But when we keep unhealthy and meaningless relationships; the future becomes dark and meaningless. It is always said that, it is always said that, “good things are in future ”. This is means that when when we do the right thing at the right time with the right people; the future becomes brighter with better things than today. We need to know it very well that the friends we are choosing today will shape our future whether positively or negatively depending on the nature friends we keep.
