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 .

Thank you all for reading and look forward to my next article 😊😊

I also ask the same questions before but no one exactly knows the answer of those questions, life has many uncertainties, detours.

In reaching our dreams, there are things that we truly need to sacrifice if it is more profitable for us and for our love ones. Life is not easy, we need to fight for our way up to success.

I couldn't agree more but there is no lasting guarantee that if all were to be sacrificed according to the way life asked , that there would be rewards. All things are done on wagering
