The life we live is like a book. It keeps records of everything we do whether they be good or evil things. And the funny part of it is that, one way or the other we would eventually reap the fruits of our deeps.
Many live this life as though they are the owners forgetting that the air we breathe in was given to us. Arguably, some may say it is my life and I will live it the way I want. I am sorry to announce to you that you are not the owner of your life. If man owned the life they are living then the rich people will live forever because they have everything they need to sustain their life.
My friend, the lifestyle you live today will in one way or the other affect you or anybody that would be ever linked to you either by birth or relationship.
Most children today are suffering what their parents did or failed to do while they are alive. Some others are living happily today because someone who had a link to them once lived a profitable life and they are enjoying the benefits today.
People no longer bear certain names because someone in time past lived a terrible life that forever placed a negative identity on such names. Yea the name in itself is not bad but the past lifestyle of someone made it an evil thing to bear such name.
My dear friend, what would people remember you for after you have left this life? Will a remembrance of your name bring smiles or sorrows to people? Will your name create opportunities for your children or it will close opportunities for them? You alone can determine that and that can only be determined by the kind of life you will live from today henceforth.
