Living a life of Moderation
Moderation is the better thing in all affairs of life. There are two extreme ways of living in this world, one is to live in excess and the other is to live in abstinence but moderation is the best way to enjoy your life.
What does it mean by living in excess? It means overindulgence and extravagance. When you live in excess you always go over your comfort limit. You spend a lot of money on unnecessary things and make yourself busy with worthless activities. All these habits lead to the increase in the number of your worries and problems.
The second extreme is to abstain from all kind of joys and debauchery. Here you ignore all happiness off this world and try to find solace inside yourself by living in a state of monotony. But as well as living too much, you should also be aware of living too little. Take life of moderation. In all aspects of life, we see and appreciate things that we do not need. We tend to crave for better things in life. In fact, we find it difficult and hard to live a simple life.
In fact, people look forward to be rich. They tend to accumulate more things in life. They are always in the race to acquire such valuable things that they can use in their daily lives. They want to acquire more money and buy the things they love.
There is an old saying that whatever you in excess tend to affect you, in the same way one should learn to leave a life of moderation in order to enjoy life, for whatever lives in excess is evil. Moderation is the friend of wisdom and the mother of health. There are many people who like to consume everything from the excess, but if you are in excess, then moderation will be always there for your service. This has been proven by statistics and several studies.
I was watching a video by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome that talk about moderation, He says in the video that if you are sinning in excess and if you are doing things that are going to lead to your own destruction, you should learn to learn from moderation. He went on further to say that whatever you do in excess you tend to affect you.
He urged people that do not be greedy, go for money but instead go for God. He said many people are rich today and they have nothing to show for it, he said some people go from church to church asking for money and they live in mansions yet they don't pay tithes to their own church and they never give back anything good to humanity.
In conclusion, Moderation is very important; one of the things that must be done in life. Life is all about living but you should also not hurt yourself or your body too much. The best thing to do is to deal with life as it is and still enjoy it. There are many people out there who are overweight because they don't understand moderation in their lives. For example, there was this guy whose nickname was "Beer Belly", he was always drunk and would eat and drink excessively.
