NEVER LIVE ALONE!

Hmmm! When our ancestors talk, they don’t just talk, they talk sense. What we shall examine today can be viewed from two different perspectives. You may want to modify the interpretations to other perspectives though. It would be nice if you could share your thoughts about what our ancestors have for us today.

A man who lives alone is either always overworked, or always overfed

I want us to examine the saying above from these different perspectives:

1. A man who lives alone: someone who finds it very difficult to relate with others or someone who does not need other people’s assistance.
2. A man who lives alone: someone who feels he/she is alive just for the sake of himself. Someone who thinks the main reason for existence is only to live.

No matter where you view it from, the fact remains that if you choose to make yourself an island of everything, you stand the risk of getting trapped by either being overworked or being overfed. The beauty of life can be expressed by the way we appreciate the efforts and greatness in others. If life was meant to be for you alone, there is no special reason why other people have to exist.

Have you ever imagined a world where no one exists but only you? A world where you have to make every good thing you want or desire come alive with your personal effort. A world without houses, cars, clothing, computer, no law, no money, no ambitions, except the ones you create for yourself. Ops! Crazy? Isn't it?

The problem with most people who feel the work cannot be done except they do it is that they fail to realize that there are several other people who can do it better than them if only they can be permitted to give it a try. Try to give someone the opportunity to do something you think can’t be done by no one but you today and sit back to watch how most of your work load gets relieved.

When you ask God to relieve your burden, He doesn’t just come down and do it for you, He is always around to help, but you don’t seem to be ready for Him in those areas which you find very personal to you.

On another note, it is sad to know that there are still many people in the world today who view life as a very big meal which should only be eaten by them alone. They see every opportunities, ideas, blessings, gifts and money that come to them as a special gift which must be customized. They fail to realize that the value of life can be better appreciated if we learn how to make our life useful to others. No matter how big your dreams are, they will be worthless if they are not useful for humanity.

In whatsoever you do today, learn how to appreciate people, share up, and enjoy the rest of the day by helping others fulfill their dreams in life. Remember, man wasn’t created to be lonely; so never do it alone.
