TIME STRIPS OFF THE LUXURIES OF LIFE (PART THREE)

Do you need that make up? Do you need that many clothes? Do you need this or that?  

When you one day  look in the mirror and smiles but still see an angry face looking right into your eye, that is old age catching. 

The charm of beauty vanishes into the thin air. When you are old, with that wrinkles on your body, that’s when you become bored hearing the body lotion advert for smooth skin. 

When your natural legs begin to fail you, when a stick becomes your third leg, you realize your strength is stepping aside. 

When your teeth are gone, that is when the pizza delivery man angers you. When you studied your body and your six packs has transformed into one pack, you will wonder why you spent all those time at the gym trying to impress the ladies when men were needed to do the work of God. 

When you are denied the renewal of your driving license because of poor eye sight due to old age, when you finally retire to that wheel chair because your waste is weak to link up with your legs to walk, you ponder over the value of the four wheel drive packed there for decades. 

When your time of departure draws closer and you are lying down on your sick bed knowing that upon fighting and cheating people to building mansions, you will just be placed in a coffin smaller than your kitchen cabinet. Sorrow will consume you, with regret ringing like a bell in every thought that crosses your mind. 

When you finally depart, and the Lord God calls your name and says: Hello my son, I gave you the strength to win 100 souls for me. Where are they? I gave you the finances to build & support my church. How did it go? I gave you this for that. What is the result?  

Every second will be accounted for. When the time is up, you will be left with your ideal self. You will be stripped off your luxury. No beauty or handsome charm, no riches or fame, no strength or power, it is just your deeds facing judgement.

 Use your time well. Live a life worthy of your calling. All things shall pass away but it is only the word of God that will remain forever. Be wise and choose forever over temporal.

TIME STRIPS OFF THE LUXURIES OF LIFE (PART TWO)

You are a great person and you know it. You know you need to start something today but why are you hesitating?

Is it pride?

Some many people find themselves at the receiving end of painful regret especially in their old age. Pride is a great tool to lure people off their destiny. 

When pride gets in the way, who you think you are doesn’t allow you to be who you need to be. You think you are good looking so you want to enjoy your life. When your gook looking is lost, how will you survive? These things are temporary. 
A time is coming your temporal endowments will be no more and the time you decided to follow your beauty or strength instead of your dream will begin to haunt you.

Is it procrastination?

Procrastination exposes goals or dreams to risk. Every time has its uncertain occurrence. You are in today, you know what is going on now but can you accurately tell what tomorrow brings? 

Do you know your time left on earth? So why don’t you do the hard work today. The man who died today would have created a valuable inheritance for his family. 
You might not in the position to accomplish it tomorrow. Opportunities flies up high, very difficult to catch so when you get one, make good use of it because it may not come again. 

Is it peer pressure?

Friends can ties an individual and completely influences his personal way of living. Your dream is something your life becomes dependent on. Are you going to let friends let you miss your destiny? 

You need to focus on your dream and never let anybody talk you out of it.   Note that you are different and they are different so be strong and make your dream your goal.  

Is it fear?

The moment you find a great thing to do in life, fear automatically develops. You begin to see all the ways in which you cannot succeed. But what keeps success in the right perspective is a determined mind. Overcoming your fear opens you to the path of success.
 You will begin to know how to walk your dream. Never let fear kill your dream but kill the fear in you to set your dream free.

Is it your community?

Where you are brought up can be a limitation and alter your great vision. 
When you live in a community where your dream is not familiar, people will criticize you and if you don’t stay strong, they will kill the dream even before it begins. 

But never give up on your dream. Be the first to make a change. Be strong and courageous and work hard. They can only persuade you but never be convinced. You are a genius when you follow your dream. 

TIMES STRIPS OFF THE LUXURIES OF LIFE (PART ONE)

 Your life is your time and what you do creates moments within the period. Capability at a point in time depends on the moment (time) in life you have reached. 

Each and every one on this planet has something unique that adds to his existence to make him or her special.   But ignoring your purpose for comfort hinders a successful living. 

Your destiny does not come to make you but rather you need to work hard and make your destiny worth having. 

When you are sleeping, time is running out. When you follow friends to do thing contrary to your goals and aspirations in life, time runs out. And a time will come, that valuable gift you think you have will be useless because the needed strength and discipline required was only available in your youthful days.

 That beauty you cherish so much that you look down upon other will eroded and vanished. That is when your true value will be measured. That is when your generations will assess your life.

That’s why a strong man will not continue to be strong but what he uses his strength for can remain for decades.

Today you are strong, beautiful, handsome, intelligent and so many complements. You look at yourself in the mirror and boastful smile because you think you have it all. Go out, look for old men and women on the street and ask them about how they looked in their youthful age. If you spend your life admiring temporal endowments, how will you live when they are of no use? 

Your life has a time limit and your destiny depends on what you do in every second that passes. Let what you do today connect you to who you want to be in future. Time continues, dates extend, but your life has a time limit. Don’t waste time.
