Life: Not a game for the lame

Good morning read stars here, it's James again and I'm here to deliver once more like I always do. It's going to be almost a different content here today as this writing wasn't my pure thinking and imagination, it's actually that of a very important part of me tho. But she'd be glad if her message is being conveyed to the people on this platform. Let's check my sponsors out before I continue;

I'm happy to tell you that Rusty showed

Sometimes, thinking about life might result in headaches because we don't seem to understand the dynamics of how life works, from childhood to being an adult, all we do is grow and have ambitions or dreams but what happens to those people that end up being armed robbers or people that are just not well to do? Didn't they have a dream? They most likely did but life is like a marathon race that the only way to survive is to continue as they might have derailed on the way.

Life is a funny experience, I call it an experience because either we like it or not, this life would be taken away either by the end of the world or death as the case may be but there's something that should always ring in our minds, and that is, what is my purpose in life? Growing up, we all had friends, no matter how socially deranged a person is, there must have been that someone who really understands you even when you don't get yourself, we all had such friends and maybe acquaintances too but my point is that, most of all these people that we were together in primary school are either out of the country, an entrepreneur, a trade learner or maybe a student in any of the universities of the country. After our secondary school, we have two sets of people:

1. Those that would further their education because they see the need for education and

2. Those that would just cut their education short and become an apprentice at trade maybe because they don't see the importance of schooling anymore.

To be honest, a degree doesn't guarantee being successful in this life, entering university, everybody wanted to graduate with a first class but as life goes on, we'd notice that things don't just get themselves done because of the wishes we have or had. The first semester of your first year in the university tells the whole story of how you're graduating out of the university, some people tend to lower their goal or their aim just because of a low test score or a failed course. We must all have a strong mindset, we are students and we're meant to be resilient, strong and we aren't meant to give up so easily. When we get this into our head, we wouldn't be moved or really affected by what life throws at us. We must always remember that any failure recorded is a step closer to success. Failure shouldn't be a factor for us to lower our standards in life.

There is also a saying that should sink into our head as we travel this journey of Life "life is not a bed of roses", we shouldn't think that everything that happens is going to be to our favour, as we grow, our ages increases and we see more urgency in the need to make it, some people then venture into different kinds of businesses just to secure a perfect future for themselves and their family. People meet their soulmates in university which is the most common or evident to happen, this is indeed the most likely thing to happen because the university period is a very long one of atleast four years and that's even more than enough to know someone that has the potential of being your soulmate.

The long and short of this journey is that we are all different people and we see things differently but what I have noticed is that nobody really has ever wanted to settle for less in this life, everybody has or had a goal but the way that goal is attained really matters. Even people with initial strong minds tend to before unpredictable as they go through life because of what they have faced. Life is a journey and it's not a race for the weak, we need strength and God's guidance and we also need to find time to think about what life has in store for you and our plans on executing every sequence of life that we pass through. Have you thought of what kind of Life you'd like to live in the future?
