Nothing sweeter than changing people's lives positively. One day, you will be a memory. So try to be a good one

 

Many of us have lost loved ones. We have lost friends. Sadly, our family will loose us one day. This is the irony of life. However, the way we live our lives today will neither increase nor decrease our life span (very godly people still die early, and sinful ones even live longer, right?), but, what is more lasting in the hearts of people is the Way we made them feel while we were with them.

The value of life is not in the length lived (whether 80 or 95yrs) but the value of life lies in the quality of life lived. (whether 25 or 40)

 Jesus lived only 33.5yrs,yet His impact is still felt 2000years after. We know of several old men in our villages that even the state couldn't identify with them.

2017 made me understand that what makes life beautiful is when you live for others. By this, I mean, influencing people positively. I mean dropping in people's heart, a good memory that can never be forgotten.

Have you wondered why even the next generation will still hear of Martin Luther King and his son (jnr), Nelson Mandela, Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Abraham Lincoln, Bill Gates etc.

These are men who despite all odds determined to influence people's lives either Positively or negatively.

Nevertheless, Nothing sweeter than changing people's lives positively.

If I may ask, how many lives have you touched this 2017? How many people have knelt down to appreciate you? How many people have shed tears in order to tell you how much they appreciate your kindness?

If you have have lived 25 years on earth and you haven't touched 25 lives positively, I think you're selfish. My dear, you don't need riches to touch people's life. You need a kind heart. A good heart. A selfless heart.

If you enter 2018 without learning this, it will be painful for the humanity who depend on your kindness.

Now, let's be more practical.

IN your church or mosque, how many people will speak great of you when you die? How many lives have to helped?

IN your office, how many people have you given a helping hand? Or have you back bitten your colleagues just to get favor? Remember, nothing sweeter than changing people's lives positively.

IN your school, how many people can say, "I passed this course because of this guy or girl"?

 In your family, can your siblings classify you as the best ever? The one they could talk to at the worst moment? Or they try to avoid you as much as they can.

Remember, we have a few years to live on earth, ensure that you have touched positively atleast the number of your age. I.e 30yrs=>30 people, 55yrs=>55people.

Give people reasons to be happy. Be the God that they see physically. Be there for them. Do good without expecting a return.

Once again, remember, nothing sweeter than changing people's lives positively.

As I round up today's lesson, let us take a brief look at people who touch the world positively:

Martin Luther King, Jr. Fought for black equality with the whites

Nelson Mandela: Ended Apartheid in South Africa

Albert Einstein: greatest scientist in Physics (made Atomic bomb)

William Shakespeare: added over 1700 words to the English dictionary

Christopher Columbus: discovered America

These men never pursued money. They wanted to sincerely add value to mankind and they got both value and money.

I will end with this: Try to mentor someone this 2018, influence them positively, pursue value. And you will leave a lasting effect on mankind.
