This is a time when we need to understand people and situations. It is a time when trust is dwindling and people’s hope is dashing away. You want to learn how to discern people and situations.
In life, we often go through different situations. We go through different challenges and it worries us that we don’t understand, for most part, what we are going through or how we’re going through it. We don’t know what will happen at the end. Yes, we can have faith, hope, assurance, positive mind, and whatnot. But in reality, we are still left with questions in our mind. There are still many things that are outside our knowledge.
Life is full of many things. And we don’t know all of the things that we’ll go through in life. Nobody can come out and tell the entire itinery of their life. We don’t know if the battle we fight should worth trying or not. We don’t know the outcome. We can speculate and assume a lot of things. We can have hope that all will go well and we will end in victory. But victory is not sure until we have it. And what gives us victory is not only the certainty, but also the uncertainty. For we receive what we’ve already given up in our mind.
People who earn true victory all the time are people who are not desperate about it. They are people who believe their victory is not the end of it, but the beginning of it.
There are many things we don’t know in life. And for that, it makes life interesting and adventurous. We get to meet little surprises here and there that keep us curious about life and what it is to come. Life is lived in certainty and uncertainty. And that’s one of the beauties of life.
Among the very most important things we don’t know in life is when we will die. Yes, we can have faith and trust that we will live long and enjoy a good life. But that’s not a guarantee. It is not certain. Why? Because it is not in our care. Life is a gift that we are all given to enjoy. So, we don’t have a sole ownership on it.
No one can come out today and say the actual day they are going to die. Except those who intentionally take away their lives, dying by any natural means is left to nature. It is left to the supernatural that puts everyone of us in here. Someone can predict. It is still a prediction. Not a certainty. Or someone can get the revelation. What am saying is knowing when we will die is not in our human capacity or jurisdiction.
So, when we are left with this dilemma of not knowing when we will die – the actual date and time, we become confused and worried about how much time we have left to spend, and if we will ever be able to finish things that we want to do. We wonder if we will ever be able to have enough time to enjoy a good time with our loved ones and our wealth. We wonder if things will turn in our favor. We wonder if the future will ever be good for us.
And what this does to us is it makes us feel curious and uncertain. It makes us feel worried, and sometimes concerned. We become agitated, especially when we know we’ve got a lot of things to do and we’ve not done many. We become concerned that we might not die empty, probably still having many more things to do.
But look, do not fret. The creator knows you more than you know yourself. So, relish every moment as though it is your last moment.
How do you know how you will enjoy your life? By knowing how you enjoy your day. If you want to change your life, change your day. The quality of your life is seen in the quality of your day. A day well spent is a life well spent.
Check everything you do in a day. Pay attention to your thoughts, feelings and actions. Also, observe how to respond to situations and relate with people. Your life can’t be better than the quality of your day. Your life is every passing time you witness. So, when you pay attention to how you spend your day, you will understand how to maximize your life.
Also, something very important is the quality of your thoughts. Your thoughts are very important. They are what determine the quality of your life. So, pay attention to the quality of your thoughts. What do you think about every passing moment? Your thoughts are the seeds you sow into every passing moment of your life. And they will bring forth fruits in due time. Check everything you are thinking. Analyze your thoughts and sieve out the bad ones. Don’t allow bad thoughts to stay in your mind for long. They may come and they will come. You don’t have power to stop them from coming. But you surely have power to stop them from staying.
So, regularly check your thoughts and know what you are thinking. Be here and now. Be aware of you and your environment. Your mind is a powerful tool. Use it well for your advantage.
