Death is the mother of life

No one likes to have anything to do with death, and mainly hearing the word alone gives an unpleasant feeling, but in an actual sense, death is the mother of life.

This may seem an oxymoron to us as human beings, but it is true. Every great thing that's born is a creation of death. Death is the mother of harvest, and as the Holy book says "Except a grain of seed dies, it remains alone."

The most successful people in various fields in the world today are people who have died several times on their journey to becoming who they are today. This may seem confusing to you, but let me try my best to explain to you what I trying to pass along.

There are several aspects of a person's life that need to die for something new to be born. Only this can bring true growth to you as a person. Let me introduce you to the 8 ways a person dies.

These are different areas of a person's life, that death is essential to produce the desired results. They come with their laws that we must abide by. It doesn't matter which one you get into first, as long as you find yourself in any of the areas you need to lose yourself to experience it if you want the best for your life.

1. Love

Being in love is not everything, because if it were, then there wouldn't be any enemies. In addition to that, to fall in love you have to give away yourself to please someone else. This is death on its own, you are denying yourself what you want and giving yourself to someone else.

You died to self so that you can produce love, and the more selfless you go, the better the love you produce.

You were meant to give to receive, so don't make the mistake of thinking that to give you have to receive first.

2. Ambition

To be successful, you must be ambitious. But to achieve your ambition you must die several times on your journey. To achieve your ambition as a student, you must separate yourself from people, and youthful pleasures.

This is death, but you must understand that you cannot achieve your educational ambition unless you die to yourself to produce the wisdom and knowledge that will allow you to achieve your goal.

This is true for every field. To be the best in your field, you must die many times on your journey. For example, if you are an engineer and you want to make an impact in your field, you must detach yourself from people and work alone. Countless sleepless nights and many tragedies will come your way, but if you are dead to those things on your way, nothing can stop you.

3. Money

You must not think money is everything, but it's good to make good money. To make good money, you must know those things that you can die to. For example, if you want to make good money as a businessman, you must give up so many things such as partying, clubbing, drinking, and lots more. This is the essence of dying to yourself.

Also to make good money, you must first die to wealth. Many people have billions in their accounts and they are living in big houses but have no happiness. They need to die to those things, so they can be happy. Too much wealth consciousness is the reason why most people lose their happiness in the pursuit of money.

4. Spirituality

To grow spiritually, you must die every day to your normal self. But to achieve that spiritual excellence, you must go to the extreme. You must die to everything that may obstruct your progress.

Spirituality in this sense is simply about your realization that there is a real you that needs to be given preeminence, and the only way to do that is to lose your normal self and its appetite.

As a human, you must die to your normal self so that you can gain that 'purposeful' self. Only a death to your normal self will produce the best spiritual achievement in your life.

You may think you are spiritually mature, but your manifestation proves otherwise. Remember that the only way to create the best spiritual achievement is to give up the works of the flesh which is your normal self.

The works of the flesh, in this case, are the things that pleased the normal self. These include such things as anger, laziness, malice, jealousy, hatred, envy, grudge, etc.

To produce the best spiritual work, you must create space for yourself to die to those things, so that you can produce the purposeful fruits you were created to manifest in this world.

Conclusion

Although dying to yourself can sound scary, and may even come with its own set of consequences, to achieve the greatest results in your life, you must take those necessary steps. The results are truly amazing.

Along with all the material and monetary benefits, you will gain so much more.

For example, if you die to the contents of your spirit and you let God rest in your life, you will be liberated from your ordinary mind. This means you will know who you really are.
