It’s been three days since I began to write about this subject matter. Each time I try to write, I feel indifferent about it. Then I will write and then pause, then write again. At some point, I decided to finish it up, no matter the outcome.
Life is unpredictable, no one can out rightly predict the outcome of life by following or observing certain principles. It doesn’t matter who has tried to tell you how to live your life. I have come to realise that life does not have a specific module. When I came to this understanding, I refused to take follow what people have to say about life. Many people are living their lives outside of what people describe as the basic principles of life, and they are making exploits in their areas of specialisation. Some people are so much bent on the rules about life. They will tell you if you do certain things these are the results that you will get. This is not always true in many cases. Human lives are conditioned to work differently. There are no rules that applies to everyone. The basic rule of life that is applicable to all human is to do whatever works for you. What works for Mr. A may not work for Mr. B. and vice versa. That is why I always laugh whenever I hear people talk about following the rules of life. There are millions of facts to proof that the rules of life does not works in any way.
Living a morally upright life is good but there are people that are not living morally up right by the way they live their lives yet they are succeeding in whatever they do. Another rule has it that working hard pays but there are people that are working hard every nights and day yet people who do not work as much as they do are more successful than them. This life does not have a manual that everyone need to follow. Each person has his/her manual hence it is up to the person to understand the content of his manual and live it out. This is one of the mistakes made by lots of people. Instead of looking inwardly to understand their natural manual they rather strived that living someone else’s manual. Anyone who understands this principle have solved half of his life problems.
I have an elder in my family that whenever he sees me, he will be pressuring me to start a business just because everyone in my family are into one business or the other and they are making progress in them. Therefore according to him, everyone must do business irrespective of whoever you are forgetting that everyone was not born to do the same thing. People have different passions and they should pursue such with all their strength and might.
On a whole, life has principles and these principles are individually based. And it is left for individuals to understand their principles and apply them.
