This Education Called LIFE

Note:" This post may contain affiliate links. I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."


          Have you ever wondered what exactly happened to our life? As we journey through life, let us then take a break every now and then in order to reflect on our past events. As we do that, we can realise that it is as if we are reading a book- the book of our life. With that reflection,  we should always be glad to be active participants of such journey. As we wake up each day, fresh and new learnings embrace us and they could help us proceed with our own development. 

          On the other hand, there is no such limit and boundary over our learnings. It only takes our commitment to participate fully in this journey which expect us to make a difference in our life. One noteworthy

in life is when we share our various giftedness with each other. As we go on with our everyday learnings, we also grow in our awareness over life's excellent stories. 

          As one writer would tell us, he said that " Self-education is, I firmly believe that the only kind of education there is." -Isaac Asimov.  One way or the other, we could agree with Isaac and that as we enter each day, we as a result start to learn new things that contribute colours to this wonderful journey. Numerous people have joined us in this journey most notably those significant others in our life. 

          Hence, as we go on with this trip called LIFE, may we also unceasingly reflect on Isaac's words above and let us be the best persons that we can be. As such, all of us can become agents of joy and growth for others.

Grateful for This Year's Blessings

          Checking back my journal for year 2015, I have found out that my happy moments outnumbered the sad ones. And it is already for me one good reason to celebrate the year 2015. Indeed we need to be grateful for whatever grace that comes to our life. 


         From the month of January up to this month, day by day, manifestations of life's greatness is very evident. From seemed simple and ordinary ones to the more grandiose things, they are showered to us every single day. And one good thing that we can do is to savour every minute of it then extend such goodness and grace to others.

           Indeed this is not really very difficult but at times, due to our other priorities we tend to forget to do it thus we fail to extend to others the preciousness of life. Let us all remember that life on earth is but a passing one and nothing will last forever, so let us try to be grateful for all good things in our life and let us also share with others every positive thing like goodness, kindness etc. so that this world will continue to be a place worthy of living for.

Thoughts For Life's Directions

"We rate ability in men by what they finish, not by what they attempt."

At times, we preoccupy ourselves with so many things that we come out of focus. Some of us try to do things one after the other without ever finishing them. Basing on this inspiration above, what then is noteworthy in life are those accomplished tasks in life rather than those which have been attempted. Our success therefore is gauged by what we concretely achieved no matter how difficult the road could have been. 

"Some fellows dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them."

It is sad to take note that there are those fellows who just limit themselves with just dreaming dreams and never do anything to reach them. Dreams are very crucial to our life. They give us directions and urge us to do and strive for the best. However, the sad thing is when others don't materialise them and do other things instead.

"It is when we forget ourselves that we do things that are most likely to be remembered." 

Total out giving is the best way to truly contribute ourselves to others. In several instances in our life, we tend to do things for others yet at the back of our minds, there is also that desire that maybe someday, that person whom we have shared something could also do us a favour. Somehow in that case, it becomes a bent arrow meaning we do good to others but without them knowing it, we are actually doing favours for ourselves. Hence, before we extend our hands to others, let us think first of our interior motive if what really is our hearts' desire when we reach out to others.
