That everyone exists for a purpose cannot be overemphasized
but rather the burning issue should be on how many people have actually known
and realized their true purpose for existence – and as many that have done,
what proportion has taken conscious steps towards fulfilling them without fear
or favour? Thus the question: “Why am I here?” What is your true mission on
earth? Why do you do the things you do? What drives your passion?
To live, up to this moment, is the greatest privilege of
life – enjoy it. Make best use of the time. Some would have loved to be here
now at all cost but are not – they died! So make good use of this golden
privilege of being counted among the living and be a blessing to yourself and humanity.
Beside the accident of birth and the partiality of grace, we
are not by means better than others. Our being with the resultant position and
possession are not necessarily our own making. Yes, our achievements are not by
any means a result of our might and power. In other words, whosoever we are and
whatsoever we have, we receive. Therefore, work for a life not a living. Strive
for good stewardship of service; prepare always to give proper account at the right
place and appropriate time.
The twinkling of the clock, the passing of the day, takes us
towards the fulfillment of our purpose – the primacy of our existence, the
obedience of which and timely compliance to its dictates and tune make the
difference, making us important (or even irrelevant) but for a while so why not
do your part, that which you are opportune, now and well, to avoiding living in
regret later?
Without being a clog on another person’s wheel of positive
progress, contribute towards wholesome beautification of the world. Within the
limits of your ability, paint the imperfect weaves and create beauty lines now
that you have the time.
In a simple language, we live to die – and funny enough
every passing second takes us closer to the grave. And when eventually you die,
how will you be remembered? What will people say about you in your absence?
Instead of occupying yourself with thoughts of domination,
destruction and evil, do something good, great and ennobling. Build not destroy
all that is good and beautiful; encourage not discourage others with good
intentions; strive to establish and promote a level playing grounds instead of
erecting walls of mischief, marginalization and exclusion; and if you cannot
provide good things, don’t stand on the ways of those selflessly doing so. There
is no need labouring to explain out evil when you could have prevented it.
Instead of cursing darkness, ignite light and feed the flame regardless of the
cost.
Live and let live is the secret for purposeful living but it
is very unfortunate that some of us will like to live at the expense of others
– and this is responsible for the continuum of evil amongst us. We can kill
others just to serve our own interest that expires with time!
Those who resist positive change end up being consumed by
the forces against the status quo. Those who consciously and deliberately join
the league of evil doers are mercilessly swept away by the consequences of evil
deed. Therefore, stand up against a flawed, polarized system until the
inevitable, needed change is effected. Don’t fall for any bait or ploy even if
it means standing alone and suffering for unjust cause. Don’t follow the crowd
without knowing the destination. At the end of every group consciousness is
personal reward.
No one can run away from his shadow. Though it can be
smeared, conscience cannot be destroyed. Sometimes, somewhere, the small still
voice will speak. The things done in the dark have ways of being revealed and
exposed by the light. Sometimes, somewhere, we must face the consequences of
our actions and inactions.
You may be smart by half but the reward is always in full
measure. Don’t commune with those doing evil for there will always be a payback
time. Those who connived for evil have ways of eventually working against
themselves. Karma is always thorough and merciless so watch your ways and mind
your steps.
In pursuit of pleasure, some have gone out of their ways to
initiate and do abominable things that end up destroying them and threatening
humanity long after they have gone and forgotten yet some of the living learn
nothing but rather choose to repeat such abomination with some doing the worse.
Take a good look of yourself on the mirror. Are you
satisfied with the image? How will the world be if everyone were to be clowned
from you?
If you like continuously lie to yourself and become a big
effigy of falsehood just to get even and move with the “big boys”; you can
listen to or even tell sweet one sided stories to justify and cover your
iniquities and greed but never forget in a haste that after all the acts, in
the art of harvest, everyone and everything is compensated (positively or
negatively) adequately.
