Hi everyone, happy weekend and happy Sunday. I am sure some of you thought I have left read.cash for good. Well not really I just simply don’t write as often as I use to buy today while taking my bathe something rang in my head about a thought I had the other day. I was listening to a song from a Nigerian singer titled “I am a mess”. His lyrics came across to me as though he was depressed I am not sure if he truly is but I just kept thinking of what I would say to him if he were in front of me…
Earlier this morning I was listening to song by J.coke titled “love yours” and it made me realize a lot in life. The key to feeling contentment and fulfillment is simple. Forget about what you are pursuing for a second and think of what you already have. Appreciate how far you have come from where you started.
Most people think their life sucks, well they aren’t wrong but they aren’t right either. We all have times in life when we thought to ourselves “Dmn!!! My life scks as h*ll”. -“everyone is doing so much better than me”. It’s just life and that is how it is. And often times we only see a fraction of this “dream life” that other people have. If we were opportune to see their lives in a full scale then we would understand that they are certain things we have better than them.
Even the Elon musks and Jeff bezos of the world still wish they certain things that some ordinary people have. The funny thing about life is the rich is praying to live longer than 70 years while the extremely poor is praying he dies soon and ends his suffering-Two sides of a coin.
The main point of all these is to understand that life is all about choice. Make a choice to be happy with what you have. So many people wish they were in your shoe but look at you neglecting your blessings and only counting your losses. Ask yourself this..
-when I was sad and worried did I not go through difficult times? And now that things are looking up why shouldn’t I enjoy life to the happiest.
-why is it easy for me to count all those things I am not good hard but hard for me to appreciate those that I am extremely good at? Why ? And don’t even tell me that some people aren’t good at anything. Everyone is good at something- yes I said it.
In conclusion, contentment is key and being able to see good in your life is the most important thing. So if you are feeling sad and down well I have a great idea for you. Just look back at where you were 5 years ago and how far you have come and I bet you it will fill you with some joy. And best believe it is gonna be legen… wait for it .. wait for it … daryyyyyyyyyy!!!!
