What’s The Essence Of Life?

Embracing Life’s Twist and Turns With Thankfulness.

Life can be so funny at times. Infact, adulthood itself is a scam. 

Trying to balance your physical, spiritual, financial, emotional and social life can be mentally draining.

Today you are buoyant and happy, the next day you feel empty and depressed. It's this stage where you realize, it's either you make it or break it. 

All these hassles of adulthood makes you wonder “what's the essence of life anyways? 

One Thoughtful Day, 

I sank myself into my bed with solemn background music… What are these wavering thoughts in my head?

Well, let’s just say  it's basically about life and life encapsulates death… My thinking is weird right? But…

The Inevitable…

Okay, so what is it about death that's causing me a headache? 

Hmmmmm, the past month was bloody, from fire accidents claiming hundreds of lives and properties, road accidents, flooding and all. 

You know at a point I thought God has had enough of our sins and just wants to put an end to it all.

Those tragic incidents made me wonder about the essence of life, that can be taken without prior notice.

I felt bad for those that lost their lives tragically, probably having plans for the next day. It’s so sad death is inevitable.

You know, thinking about this weird stuff opened my eyes to the reality of life and how ungrateful I have been.

Picture This; 

Those that toil day and night to simply afford feeding once a day,  what about those on sick bed, those on the streets, those in psychiatric homes, those in prison on matters they know little or nothing about, not to talk of those 6 feet under… They never wished to be there.

The fact that you have a roof on your head, eat three square meals, can afford basic things you need and opportuned to see each blessed day, you still wouldn't be grateful? You are not just lucky dear…

You know, when it’s hard to figure out one’s life depression and frustration sets in and suicidal thoughts follows.

Never An Option…

Ever heard of a successful happily married man commits suicide and we all wonder why?

I bet you won't have a clue of what people go through until they open up to you, which is why you never wish for a life you know nothing about.

Sometimes you think your life would have been better, if you could go back in time to rectify those gruesome mistakes you’ve made in the past, right?

Be grateful for the present, some people wish they were like you and at same time you also wish you were like some other people. Life is complicated! 

Final Thoughts

Truly, life is complicated still suicide should never be an option!

No matter what life throws at you, remember there are people out there facing worse situations and wouldn't mind having half of what you have. 

So, what's the essence of life again? To know God and be grateful (Psalm 100). 

Try this; instead of picking up that mobile phone when you wake up in the morning, why not  praise God for at least 10 minutes then tell him how you want your day to be. 

Do this everyday and experience a more meaningful and peaceful life. 

Thank me later😘.

Stay litty😉.
