I don't have much to say today, just some few word for us all to start our day, the first Monday of October, 2021.
Hope you all have a good day
The time of youth is the prime time in anyone's life. It is a great privilege to be young. Many old people so envy the youth. They wish they could return to being young again; and that is why they try to do whatever they can, to look young.
Unfortunately, being young comes only once in a lifetime. No one can be young more than once. As a lady, you cannot be 'sweet sixteen' more than once. Once you pass the age of sixteen, it is clear that you can never be sixteen again.
However, the time of youth is also the period of making choices. And the choices at this prime time of life are such that make indelible mark on one's life and destiny.
There is a battle going on in this world concerning young people and it is all about influencing their choices.
Choices that will mark our life out for greatness and are made when we are young.
If you meet an accomplished old man, prosperous and celebrated, enjoying the care of his equally successful children, it is the product of a series of wise choices that he made while in his teens and twenties.
On the other hand, choices that will predispose you to perpetual defeat and failure are also made when you are young.
Whatever wrong things we see in an old man today, most likely happened because of the choices he made when he was young.
If you see an old woman whose marriage has scattered and she is being pushed between one man and another, it is not likely to be due to choices she made when she has become that old. She laid the foundation to be that kind of woman when she was young!
The unfortunate thing about these choices is that whether they were made consciously or unconsciously, they are often irreversible.
The time of youth is not only one of making choices; it is also the time for laying the foundation for every aspect of future life. It is at this time that you lay the foundation for your career in life, your marriage and your destiny. In fact, everything that you will become in life is being founded now in the time of your youth.
It is a time of tremendous strength and energy, a time of freshness. It is the time all your nerves and instinct are seeking the strongest expression. The direction you 'plough' them, now that you are young, determines the destination you will 'reap' in the years ahead. This time of your youth is a very crucial time that determines what happens for the rest of your life.
The time of one's youth is also the time of warfare. This is when you pitch your tent on whichever side you choose in the battle of life.
It is in this period of your life when you are called 'the youth' that you make that choice!
If you overcome in this battle now that you are young , you will always overcome in every sphere of your life.
Have a nice day👋
