What Price To Pay To Make A Difference?

Ever since I was a little boy, I have always asked myself questions over and over again .. questions like " Will I be successful in life ? If yes, how ? If no , why also ? , At what age will I pass away ? At what age will I meet my first lover ?... Countless questions would flood my head countless times and all would be quenched down with just a single-dousing question -" ***WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE ? "***

***TAKING THE RIGHT STEPS AND MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS*** No one knows for sure his/her destination in life or purpose .. we are all just driven by the basic motives of survival which are ***Shelter, Food and Clothings*** . We also get to a stage in life where we want more answers to our un-ending questions and just desire and zeal for answers even when we know they are beyond our reach . Making the right decisions and taking the right steps might seem a bit far fetched because for sure , no one knows which decisions or steps are right .. we all just follow our intuitions and bare mind . As a little boy I was then, I always yearned to want to make an impact in the world in my field/ area of expertise or in general just as the likes of Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela , Muhammad Ali , Wole Soyinka etc made impacts in their known fields and are being praised for it even till date. Every man/woman hates being a dead weight or a burden, we all want to add value and importance to our lives and the society but are we ready to answer the ever-burning question- ***HOW MUCH CAN YOU SACRIFICE ?***

Truth be told , not all people who want to make an impact are ready to sacrifice or pay the price . Instances follow up and add up to the discussion at hand ; a married woman with kids whose career pursuing job demands her to have little to no attention for her kids , would she have the heart to do so and forfeit her role as a mother to her kids or follow her dreams and stick to the short end of the stick all in the glory and name of finding a green pasture for her soul ( and supposedly her family also ) ... LET THINK ABOUT THAT - we all fall in that category in one way or the other ***LET LIFE TAKE ITS LEAD*** People sometimes criticise and nail to the cross individuals who have apathy towards Religious teachings .... they tell them to put everything into God's hand , that all will be well and settled for those who have faith and believe. Well , I just want to say that I am no opposed to Religious beliefs nor a persecutor of the Religious but will all be really well if we follow suite in that way ?

Sometimes we just have to let life take it toll on us and lead us to the right steps destined for us . Not all things that happens to us should be overlooked or undermined, somethings are prices paid in discrete without us even knowing what had happened ourselves . We must always believe in ourselves and our stories and know that nothing comes easy or free. Prices has to be paid and sacrifices to be made ; we all are destined for greatness at the final destination but the journey and our determination through it is what matters .
