Life ad they say and as we know it is a journey and as such we all are tourists and have fair share of experience.
My sojourn through life has thought me some few lessons that i think it’s worth sharing.
The uncertainty of the future continuously reminds us that nothing is promised not even tommorrow. Today is gift that’s why we call it the present and because tommorrow is uncertain we call it the future.
Success is not solely determined by hardwork. Infact on the contrary hardwork is not equal to success. You need hardwork, smart work and a lil but of good luck to top it all .
Our perspectives and experience generally affects the way we perceive and make judgements. We all want the best for ourselves and for others but none of us wants others to be mote successful than we are.
Life is a competition and we are all in it by force ir by choice. We all want to win irrespective of whose horse is gored. The humanity in us allows for a large space for selfness and selfish interest. Some call it the survival instinct. Life is like a wild jungle only the fiercest and smartest are crowned the king of the jungle.
Respect and fear isn’t the same thing. Respect is earned while fear is installed.
Nobody is indispensable. There is always a replacement for each and everyone of us. Don’t get it twisted.
Your ultimate happiness comes from within and not from infinitesimal things such as money, love or sex .
Your outcome in life is not predestined nor predetermined. You are solely responsible for your results in life even though life happens occasionally.
You can work extremely hard and be tagged a failure . Hardwork isn’t an automatic route to success.
People you consider strangers don’t have the capabilities of hurting you because you dont have expectations from them. You only get hurt by expectations from your kits and kins.
You are only useful as long ad you add value to the table. The moment that’s not the case you lose your usefullness . So don’t get carried away by the pleasantries and courtesies or accolades , you only get that when they are getting value from you. Without value you are basically worthless.
Life had never been fair so don’t overshoot your expections.
Careful planning and seeking for perfections all the time can actually fuel your failure.
Perfection is a term that exists on the in the dictionary of God the masterplanner. As for we humans perfection is no existent. Stop chasing shadows.
