MORE TO LIFE

 Have you ever woken up in d morning and wondered if there was more to life? It is true that no two days are the same but some times we find out that our lives seem to fall into the same routine for days on end. In taking an inventory of all you did in a day, you might find out that nothing new might have taken place in your life for a whole week. That alone can be frustrating. It is the reason some people suddenly do certain things that are out of character. For instance, a man can suddenly divorce his wife after 30 years of marriage just to marry a twenty year- old girl and on the extreme, it is the reason someone can wake up in the morning and shoot himself. Yes it has different expressions in different people.

            There is more to life than what we see. We just have to be vigilant enough to know it in our youth.  Search for happiness in life but always remember that happiness consists of the things you were able to achieve for others and not yourself. Life is only meaningful when others are happy because of you. A time will come in your life when you will ask yourself if all the years you spent on earth were worth it.

            Take time to think about the lives of great men that ever lived. Most of them are remembered for their impact on the lives of others. Nobody will ever remember you for the amount of wealth you amassed or the number of houses you built but at least one less privileged person will remember you for the helping hand you gave when he was in need.

            Take time today to think about someone in need and pour out your life to help. That way, when you tuck yourself in to sleep at night and find yourself taking stock of all you did that day, you will suddenly find a smile creasing the corners of your mouth and joy will permeate your being. Then you will know that there is more to life than just living.
