HOW TO MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT!

Can I ask you a question? What life really means to you? It has been said that, “Nothing really has meaning except for the meaning we assign to it.” To some people, life is a blessing; and to others, life is a burden.  Your life can only be what it means to you. As you think about the meaning of your life, let me clarify something quickly: Life is not merely about your duration on Earth, it is about your donation to Humanity. Don’t worry about longevity (its length); concentrate on your legacy (its width and depth).

In my Microeconomics classes, I learned that ‘more is better’; if one is good, then two is better. It’s self-evident that some people in the world today prefer quantity to quality; they prefer volume to value. But truth be told, Life has more to do with quality than quantity; the value your life adds to the world is far more important than the volume of things it contains. Life is not about your consumption of the world’s goods and services at all; it has more to do with your contribution towards providing the world’s goods and services. It’s not about the bread you are consuming; it’s about the fruits you are producing. And most importantly, life is not about you, it is about humanity: your community, your country, your continent; the world at large, because when you are done and gone, they will still be here. Life is about glorifying God through your service to humanity.

You log on to Facebook and other social media platforms and see people posting the popular abbreviation ‘HBD’ on their friends’ walls on their birthdays. In my opinion, HBD is not just an abbreviation to express Happy BirthDay; I think it also poses an intriguing question: What’s Happening between your Birth and Death? In other words, “What are you doing with your Opportunity of Life now? Yesterday’s forever gone. Tomorrow may never come. Your Opportunity of Life is NOW. What are you doing with it? Think about it.
