Escape from limitations and set this year right.
What is life?
I know you have a definition.How confident are you about your definition?
If you stand in front of a billion people,will you still stick to your definition?
Are you being honest with your replies?
Or would you rather just define life as it is written in the dictionary?.
why?
so that you can avoid criticism?
hehehe!!!
But you know within yourself that life means something different to you.So why are you ashamed of the real you?how long will you continue in the false system?
The real definition of life is what you say it is.Life is different for everyone,however there might be similarities and common grounds with different people.
You can only start living when you start doing things according to your own definition of life.You have to believe in yourself,you’ve got all it takes to proceed on your journey- however,there are several factors that might weigh you down but only if you allow them.I will talk briefly on the top 2 predominant factors because we are social beings.
The first one is societal expectations . It’s a big trap that most people fall into.Societal expectations are the things you know the society expects from you.It might be to act in a particular manner or to do things in a particular way.It goes so deep to the extent that no matter your level or status,the society will always expect something from you. It may be about education, finance, relationship (marriage) e.t.c.
In fact the societal expectations kill faster than bullets.trying to live up to societal expectations is just like a puppet being controlled by so many strings. so watch out.
The second factor is religion.It could cause a whole lot of damage if not properly managed.People feel compelled to act in a certain way even though they know deep within themselves that something is wrong but they still continue just because they have been fed all sorts of information.You might fall a victim if you don’t possess proper understanding because knowledge alone is not enough.You must be able to create a balance between the spiritual and physical.
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? .For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.[1 Corinthians 6:19-20New King James Version]. You must not follow your religious leader(pastor,prophet,master) blindly,because God always lets you know what is appropriate.This is the reason you have a feeling contrary to the opinion of your religious leader attimes,you just feel something ain’t right.Some shepherds don’t have the interest of their sheep at heart,Only God can help you,call unto him brethen and you shall be saved.
Remember it’s your life and you are the only one that can tell which things are appropriate for you.
Only you can decide what is best for you . Don’t get a false notion that someone else can know what is best for you.Break away from social conditioning,stop doing things in a way because that is how others are doing them.
Just make sure that you keep improving and advancing in all areas of your life.Appropriateness is the key factor in everything.
Live your real life and make sure all things are in accordance.God bless you.
Cheers
