Take life easy.

What is life when you have everything in your care; power, wealth, fame, great career etc and you choose to hold everything into your hand without extending an act of giving to those around you or those who ask from you?

This is a question to be answered in your heart and when you can give the right answer, then you understand what life truly is. Of course the right answer is you are being cruel to the world and even to your life as well.

Life is all about what you have lived for, what you can actually pass to other generations coming behind you, something you are proud of leaving as a good legacy to the younger ones. Even while dying, can you boldly affirm that you have lived so well to make people talk good things about you?

The life we live in is so small that everyday of our lives, we ought to live it as if there won't be tomorrow. Live it as if you are dying in the next minute, think about things that will be said after your exit. Life should be taken gently and not closing your hands instead of opening it cheerfully to embrace people to yourself.

When the only thought in you is to use your power against another. When all you have in you is to use the influence to cheat on others, do you think the world will honor you when you live? What do you think will happen thereafter? People will hiss at you and call you names. And with all these, your end is useless. Legacy is very important in terms of taking life easy. Legacy is the left over from the past, no longer current. It isn't about the achievement you have made alone, but what you left behind that really matters. Take it easy because as the Bible say "there is only one step between life and death". Don't think because you have it all, you can do whatever you feel like not being concerned about those behind you.

There is an herbalist in my area where I live. This man thought with his power, he can do everything but he forgot death is no respecter of any. He kept chasing and cursing everyone. Raining incantation on them and everyone feared him and wouldn't even try to pass his house. The day he died, no one believed he would die. They talked bad about him. In fact, his house is like a dumping ground for everyone now.

They now do whatever they want to do in his house and outside his house. I thought to myself "why didn't he wake up to chase them away?" He can't do anything. While he was alive, he had the power to act anyhow and now he is dead, where is the pride?

Every pride will go to the grave the day you die. Life is too short to harbour hatred on another person. Living a life of grace is the best and only with that you can earn good reviews about you from other people.

HOW DO YOU TAKE LIFE EASY?

BE GOOD TO PEOPLE

You know the best you can ever do is to be good to people. Show kindness and always put a smile on their faces. One's happiness is a way to bring peace to oneself. We all aren't equal and one of the reasons God created us is to love them around us. When we choose to make others happy, we also are happy within us because there is nothing as giving an helping hand to those who are in need. This is also likened to Giving. It's not all about giving your money alone, there are other things you can give out, be it your attention, love and sacrifice. You aren't doing this for anything but for the sake of love God told us about.

INTEGRITY

This is to be simple in all ways. Stop acting as if you know it all. Always be sincere and honest in all you do. Don't take things beyond what you can offer. Keep to your limit and never use your influence to hurt other people.

HUMILITY

Humbleness brings about submissive. When you humble yourself even at your position, people will honor you. Even when you die, you already left a good legacy. Always stay humble to people either young or old. We are all equal and respect should be accosted to everyone irrespective of tribe or religion.

With all these said, you will find happiness in people and yourself and this will help you live a fulfilled life.
