Real Life Questions

This post will be trashing out issues on how you and I have been living our lives, how we are living our lives and how we should continue to live our lives. Life is good for those who know the pathway. I must note here, however, that a good or successful life is not based on the amount of riches you are able to gather or how great your wealth is, but rather on the amount of smiles you are able to put on people’s faces.
A lot of us just live life the way it comes. We never bother about where it all started, where it is and where it will end. We give no thought to the fact that as we move from one step to another and days roll by, our history is written – an autobiography, at that. I am here to tell you that with your hand (your actions); the history of your life is written.
I want you to take some minutes to imagine that you are attending the burial of yourself and people are testifying of how you spent your life. What do you think they will say? Are you sure they will not be happy that you have gone? Now, imagine yourself being given the opportunity to read your own eulogy at your burial, what would you like people to ear? I know you will read the best eulogy that has never been read to anyone to yourself because I am sure you will want everybody to feel like you lived a good live. Come to think of it, “Is the kind of life you are living now similar to what you will want to be read in your eulogy?” If you say, “No” why? And if you say, “Yes” then I humbly bow to congratulate you. In my opinion, a good and successful life must successfully answer the questions below;
What do I live for? This questions what you are doing with my life. Do you live to make the world a better place or to make it worse than you met it? Is the memorable impact you are making in the lives of the people you meet daily positive or negative? I need you to understand that greatness is not defined on what you possess but how you reach out to others; not your affluence but your influence; not what you can get but what you can give.
What do I want to be remembered for? By the time you depart to the world beyond, what great achievement will be mentioned against your name? Will people even miss you at all or rather they start to rejoice like they have done to some. Will your life be full of impact or void of impact?
These “life” questions must be sincerely answered if you desire to live a life full of relevance and impact. A wonderful man, Fela Durotoye once said that you need to be sincere to your future than to your past. Start today to mould a great and impactful future for yourself. It takes one step at a time, so simple. Remember, men don’t decide their future, they decide their habits and their habits decide their future. In other words, the change starts from your habits (your daily activities) and then influences your future.
I know you and I will make the world a better place and be remembered for good.
