Isn't Life Short To Make The Best Of It

-
"You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth." – Evan Esar

The gift of life is one that's short and fleeting, which few enjoys at a moment. Life, also, is a gift offered to one once and which does not repeat thereafter. The ephemeralness of life and the fact that it is a one turn event makes it a deeply cherished essential.

Life is highly regarded and the reason for this remains the same for all bearers even as the methodology by which this truism is suggested and expressed varies. The use of life as to express its worth and how so cherished and overtly protected it is swings as it is assayed from one individual to another.

It is to say that while some commit this essential commodity to ventures which are truly worthy and impacting, others mess it around while yet believing they are making good use of it. But then the value we attach to life is showcased, at the end, by the impressions we leave behind. It's the lives we touched, the hope we gave, the better environment and society we bequeathed.

Thus, while this life lasts, build ur future using the strength of your present, because each day that life offers you comes with a dwindling strength. Do well to forget your past but build upon ur past errors, as you work out their corrections in the now.

Don't rely on others but realize the need to acknowledge the people around, for they form part of your life existence.
Think about others as partners, neighbours and your field of human exploration.

Trust in God, the omnipotent and giver of your life. He knows how to tow it and what best it needs to be sufficient and fulfilling. He has the right compass and knows how best to lead it to be purposeful. Believe in yourself, no matter the challenges the day offers you; knowing that the gift of life is that of a rose,filled with aesthetic and spikes as well.

Play your part in entrenching a worthy society that is effective and thriving. Create subsidiaries of hope and faith as you can. Live out the essence each day offers you. Live at peace with yourself, your neighbour and your. They all are vital in making you a fulfilled person.

Lastly and importantly, remember that you have only one life journey to achieve these. Do all you can fast, for time is quickly passing.

Circa 2022: Time for a New Beginning

-

Did you buy that car, land or house you hoped to get in 2021? Did you acquire that visa, wife, job or contract you had dreamt to have in 2021? Did you loose that weight, gained that body, achieved that look or shape you set out to have at the beginning of the year 2021? For some others, there are endless list of plans they'd envisaged to achieve as the year 2021 begun. Did you achieve them? Kudos! If you did not achieve them, don't bother and don't get demoralized. Even as the year gave opportunity to grow, it was similarly and very visibly traumatic: the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanied effects of recession, inflation and economic summersaults continued to have their biting effects on almost every sphere. It is quite understandable. Nonetheless, your being alive is enough assurance that you could achieve them in the new year, 2022; and you'd so do if you're willing to trust the process and try again. Clutch them along and move with them, but this time around a

Year End: The Crossroad of a New Year

-

The ending of a year brings a binary fusion of emotions: that of stocktaking and that of expectations. The year is ending, so it's essentially right to look back and take an appraisal of what the year ending has turned out for the individual. At the same time, the year rolling out, is obviously an indication that a new one is being launched, hence it'll also be right to make plans and designs of how the new year is to be approached. Credit: Shutterstock The year 2021 began with many of us clutching tightly our expectations and plans already and willing to execute them. Many of us made resolutions, be they financial, spiritual, personal- all geared towards making us better versions of ourselves and contributing effectively to our spheres of influence. Indeed, 2021 afforded us the rudimentary 365days to make do with the plans/aspirations we had in it; and it's within this period, as it winds down, that it becomes incumbent to check and analyse our victories, failures and near

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-

Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci
