Will there ever be a time in the world when problems will cease?

 

Some say "Yes...but". They say that this will only happen,


"When human beings cease to be inhabitants of the world,


They believe that when humans are no more in the world, the air, the water and everything in it would be spared of the poison  humans with flesh and blood, have injected into the world.


As long as humans are still in the world they infer, the world will continue to present you and I with problems to solve. And they add that the world will continue to show you and I how to solve these problems.


But... as it's natural and normal, only very few of us will continue to solve problems for most of us. Why?


The few that say "yes,  problems will end in the world", think may be correctly, only very few of us will continue to place problems of others in place of personal problems. So they conclude, only the selfless will continue to live without personal problems in the world.


These selfless few that can erase the satisfaction of the needs of their flesh and blood for the filling of the needs of others love without personal problems in the world.


It's these selfless few that understand that personal problems will never end. They also understand that, no matter how much wealth one accumulates, the cessation to problems will never come. 


But burdens are lightened, a legacy is bequeathed and a lasting memory is created in the world by solving the problems of others.


For the selfless, there's an end to personal problems. They live everyday to solve the problems of others and for this cause, they cease to worry about the needs of their flesh and blood.

How to get whatever you want.

 

How to get whatever you want.


Whatever you want is not in your possession right now,

but you can bring it home by;


1. defining it clearly,


2. knowing the path that leads there,


3. having the courage to turn back when you fail and begin again,


4. and finally, by refusing to quit,

     

  until you win.


Those who win in life are those who have dreams,

dreams that make them sleepless and restless,

dreams that make them understand and accept that friendship begins

and friendship ends,

dreams that make them realize that life goes on and that happiness is within,

and it comes from living,

to do what others call work but winners call play.


Then when you live everyday to play the game you love,

you put yourself in the position

to have anything you want;

because your love would get you out of the bed every morning,

to traverse the earth with the rising sun, when others are still dreaming,

then love gives you the humility to surrender to nature, the greatest teacher;

to teach you and lead you to get whatever your heart desires,

now follow the path you love

and you'll have whatever you want.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful.

 

How does a man make a difference in his home if he can’t show up for any big decisions?


“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

 

This purpose is defeated when a man doesn’t show up for the big decisions. When he ceases to be useful, his presence in the home stops to give confidence and security to other members of the home,


Without the assurances of his security for others, his presence leaves no long lasting impact. This lack of impact is primarily demonstrated when a man repeatedly fails to provide financial security for the wife and the children when they really need one.


When this happens, they gradually cease to look up to him for financial support. Consequently, everybody at home gradually begins to see the man as a liability.


The failure to provide financial security for members of his home has a negative spillover effect. Almost everyone at home stops going to him for advice when they want to take a big decision. 


They stop going not because he may not have something of value to give but because he has habitually failed to prove his reliability by being a stable financial support. The man is abandoned.


To make his wife and children need him again, he must make a major difference in his life. He has to make the decision to take actions that should improve his self worth. Where does he begin?




He should begin by setting small goals. As a man, set small goals for yourself because if you don’t have one, you would be too comfortable to leave the rut. Bill Copeland says,


“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.”


 It’s a goal that makes all the difference in life. So set small ones now.


Be resilient and be persistent until you achieve your set goals. When you set goals and start pursuing them, life is not to get easier for you, you’re still going to fail now and then. But every time life knocks you down, draw inspiration from Steve Maraboli’s words,. 


“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.” 



Resilience and persistence always win. And when you win, no matter how small you think it is, celebrate it


Celebrate little victories because small wins put something in the cup for you to drink and be energized to keep on going forward. Bill Watterson captures it perfectly,


“Small wins are still won, and the journey is more important than overnight success.”


The celebration of little victories is going to inspire you to keep on going from one milestone to another until you get members of your household to sit up, notice and be a part of your celebration. Then slowly but surely they begin to give you the opportunity to make the difference in their lives, as you have always wanted
