The world we inhabit is filled with infinite opportunities. It’s a realm brimming with possibilities, just waiting for you to take that first step. Embrace the adventure that lies ahead and explore all that life has to offer!
God created the world with you and me in mind. He created human beings to tend and nature the world.
From the stone age to the modern age, there have been opportunities presented to mankind.
Opportunities to help advance and explore the many natural resources that are locked up, on this earth.
Human beings are born free and independent. Even though we are all interdependent no one owes you a living.
Instead, you owe it to yourself to achieve and advance your goals. If you do not succeed you can not blame it on anyone but yourself.
No matter what the circumstance or situation is, the blame is squarely on you because you are solely responsible for how you live and what you do with your life.
God gave you the responsibility to be in charge of your life. What you decide to do with it is entirely up to you.
The decisions and choices you make in life are your responsibility and yours alone because, at the end of time, you will be held accountable for them.
Forget about what your parents, siblings, spouse or children did or did not do for you they do not owe you a living. They too, their time to account will come.
Stop Blaming People for Your Mistakes
Look, I know that it comes naturally to blame people for your inadequacies; for your failures and yes, sometimes it seems just right, but it is not the right thing to do.
Blaming people for your failures will not help you. Not at all. Neither will it resolve your challenges. You should know that people are not responsible for your failures.
You are the one who should take the blame. Stop pointing fingers at others and set down and gain each day that fortune grants.
Over the years I have come to realise that putting the blame on someone else does not help sort out my current situation. It rather slows down my progress.
Your success begins the day you stop blaming people for your under-achievements. The day you take responsibility and take life by its scruff is the beginning of your success.
If only you can stop the blame game and begin to do something with your life. Only then will you begin to see the better side of life.
There is much more to life than spending time blaming people for what should have happened or did not happen.
It’s funny how some people are quick to put the blame on others when things are not going right and will forget to give credit to people who have made it possible when things are going right.
Start Living Your Life
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” – Mae West.
Learn to live your life by doing what is right and doing what you love most. Life is too short not to be enjoyed.
Do not postpone what should be done today. If you have to do something just do it for you do not know what tomorrow holds.
Try as much as possible to live your own life. Do the things that make you happy most of the time. These are the things that easily flow from you.
Each and every one of us has a duty to live our own lives. Stop living in the shadows of other people. Stop imitating or mimicking other people’s lives and live your own way.
You were created to be the light of the world and so let the light in you shine. The world is in dire need of many bright shining lights.
There is more than enough room for you to make an impression on the world no matter what your current situation is.
You are well equipped with the necessary characteristics and tools of greatness if only you can put your mind and effort to it.
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” – Bernard M. Baruch.
If God is on your side it doesn’t matter who is on the other side opposing you. When you live your own life the challenges you face are much easier to handle and deal with.
Be the Solution
Rather than complaining about what is wrong, take a different stance and provide the solution yourself. After all, not everything is as bad as they look.
There is more satisfaction in providing solutions than just being a spectator or complainant. You derive pleasure when you give. Perhaps that is why the Bible says “it is more blessed to give.”
If you are in a leadership position you will agree with me that it is easier to deal with people who genuinely complain than perpetual complainants.
The world needs people who are solutions to the many challenges being faced. The only way you can stay relevant is to provide answers and solutions. Be the change you want to see in the world.
You cannot provide solutions to everything but, do your part. If we all play our part we can help change the world. This world would be a better place for all than it is now.
I have discovered to not expect anything from anyone in return for my deeds. When I offer help I do it willingly and out of compassion.
This way I do not get disappointed when there is no favourable return, because I have no control over what the other person will say or do.
If you offer help and expect anything in return chances are that you will be disappointed when the return is not favourable or it’s not what you expected. It is better to give and expect nothing in return.
Conclusion
In as much as we are interdependent, life is lived as individuals and no one owes anyone a living. If you have been thinking that you owe anyone or someone owes you a living, it’s time you got it right and move on. You don’t owe anyone nor does anyone owe you a living.
