It’s Too Early to Die!

Some people die at the tender age of twenty two  years and are buried at sixty years of age! How do they do that?  They reach a certain point in their lives where they just park, the  clock stops ticking and start decaying. They lose the zest for life  and stop dreaming. For the rest of their lives, from that point on,  they merely exist with nothing else to look forward to except the  day of death. They then pass the rest of their lives in quiet  desperation with no fight, zeal, goal, or passion. They just hope  that by some chance there will be a change. They hope to win lotto  or the lottery but they are not willing to fight for their lives and  pursue some meaningful goals. This is a terrible way of wasting life  and precious potential! It is too early to live like an off the  shelf model. 

 Live to the full
Life must be lived to the  full. There must always be something to look forward to - some goal  that is causing you to be restless and focused. The must be some  dream that you have turned into a magnificent positive obsession.  You must be too busy working on your life’s purpose and goals to  have any extra time left for boredom and purposelessness. Somebody  who really knew what it means to live once said, “Work as if you do  not need the money. Learn as if you will live for ever. Love as if  you’ve never been hurt. Dance as if nobody is watching!”  One man who lived a full life in the Bible is Paul. At the end of  his life he was able to confidently say in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have  fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the  faith.” Every person must clearly define what his or her life’s  fight, race or struggle is. What legacy they wish to leave and what  greatness they want to be known for. A life of purpose is a life  full of meaning! The purpose of life is a life of purpose. You will  never unleash your greatness by accident – it is a journey that  requires, focus, faith and an unyielding tenacity!

To your greatness,
