” What is life”
Life is a school with unending lessons where every experience is a teacher and molder of our character hence no experience is a waste. Life’s’ lessons are learnt through challenges, vicissitudes, trials, celebration, and contact. Everybody we meet is a teacher and we are teachers too, though one must be wise enough to know the exact influence of each person encountered so as not to be misguided or mislead cos some people are a blessing while some are a lesson.
From the minute of birth, we are awakened to the true nature of life, awakened with the pain of being delivered.
“have you ever wondered why a baby cries at birth”
Both humans and animals cry only because of emotional or physical pain except in cases of cries of joy.
? Is life cruel by making an innocent new born cry at birth, does s/he know about the world s/he is being born into, does he know anything about the hospital or theater where s/he is born and yet s/he cries.
Sometimes some of us never stop crying in life, for some,as they grow older,the cry shifts to silent cries. From emotional pains,unpaid bills, boyfriend snatched, wife giving birth for our neighbour or friends , children taking drugs, unpreparedness before jamb or exams , nepa taking light, bad leadership, generator noise and a host of others.
? But are we to cry or be in perpetual pain.
Life is a bed of roses, but not without torns, if we must achieve the rose(our aspired dream) of life then we must look beyond the torns(challenges ) or look up to our hills of inspiration.
Life is fun to those sensitive enough to be strong in all. The strong chose to blosom the best within the, irrespective of whatever is in front of them.
M. Scott Peck in his classic ” The roadless travelled” said that challenges make our wisdom,
they call forth our strength,
they make us who we are,
they play vital role in shaping us ready for greater achievement of the future once we learn the greatest truth of life, the truth of the fact that life is a challenge, its a truth that once we see, life, then becomes fun for us cos we will be prepared to overcome the challenges inherent to life.
So…you have heard it, buckle up your seatbelt and face your unique challenge as a great mind, know you can and will make a better person out of yourself after you go through each phase of challenge.
Be you
“Be still and know I exist”
Be prepared
Be proactive
Be enthusiastic about life,
Be honest and examine yourself for improvement modules.
