LIFE AND VALUE

John C Maxwell in his book intentional living says “In life, it is not what we get that makes us valuable. It is what we become in the process that brings value to our lives.”
Talk about life and what it has to give, what questions coming running into your brain ? Trust me a lot of questions coming rushing in like why, what, where, how, who etc. but what makes sense is the fact that you have breath right ? It’s funny how life is like the best teacher for us all. Great people, successful people have a big story to tell you about how they got to that success .
Some of these include AlbertSchweitzer, Franklin, Dr. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Clara Barton, Albert Einstein, Sigmund fraud, Helen Keller and many more, Some of these great and successful men and women were discovered to have come from poverty struck homes, difficult parents, a broken home, some of them were rejected, lived with parents who Were over possessive, psychological torture by their parents fighting all the time But they all managed to make it to the top and becoming the best at what they do and are now known worldwide as great men and women in history
But question is “HOW”they made it to the top trust me you, the stories they have to tell are tremendous and life changing. It was hard, it was tiring, But despite all they went through they still made it to the top because of strength, support, discipline, character and so many So this is my question to you “what are you making life be to you”
Despite what life brings before you, are you going to fall or rise up and dust yourself and keep fighting every single day, they say nothing comes to us on a silver plata and I used to believe it was the privileged that connected well with this statement because it seemed to me like they received everything on a Silver plata but a person I know told me that “no matter how much property, money, privileges that your parents or family hold, it’s not yours until you make your very own” and understand the way work is, it makes more sense to eat off your own labor it’s satisfying
Life is a great teacher actually life is the greatest teacher and I believe and can say that our lives are a daily lesson to us living, so today is today tomorrow is tomorrow , what can we do with what we have availed to us I believe that with every opportunity that we have daily we can make it our best to better our selves and the people around us
The statement at the top makes so much sense now “it’s what we become in the process that brings value to our lives” . All these people we look up to “I want to be like this person when I grow up we keep saying” but do we sit down to ask what happened, what became of them to be the person they are if so then, are we ready to give up some things we love, to strive hard every waking day, to better ourselves in the best ways possible to really be the best. When doing something make sure you do it to your best
Life is life put God first and all the rest shall fall in line but be the best at what you are doing
