"Bring Peace not Pressure"

 

 If only we can embrace the truth about the deepest meaning of life, maybe we can coexist without having issues, life itself is short and hard enough but we keep making it inconducive for each other.

Now strap your booth and hold your breath, because I am taking you on a very long ride... 

    When you  posess the right atitude towards life, you wouldn't have  to give demeaning atitude to that security man that is always there to open and hold the door for you when you walk into a mall, a restaurant or an eatery, have you ever turned to smile back at them and say 'thank you"?  When was the last time you considered that beggar on the roadsides as a human being like you are and not a rejected person in the society? Why do you tend to give the wrong attitude to those kids that taps you in the bus to beg for 20bucks or less, just to drink water or eat?  The right atitude towards life will tame you to be contented and not to argue every situation that life throws at you, to smile and appreciate whatever it is life throws at you, it will open your mind to see that there's no need to deny someone's cry for help, when you are actually in the position to pull them out of the situation, or because you want to act all stingy and economical, you will deny you don't have , am not disputing your cautious behavior towards your " hard earned money " But what is so hard in giving out "a thousand naira" to someone who's obviously dying of hunger or who your kind gesture would have liberated? Thought that way before? Most of us end up asking questions like: don't they have a job? Can't they fend for their families? Why are they lazy?Ain't they ashamed? Why should they be? Do you think its been easy for them too? Or that they are not trying? The only difference is that they are not as opportune as you are, so be nice young man and woman!

    If only you understood the power of attitude then you would have understood the value of "thank you" I am sorry, please forgive me" I love you " and I appreciate you "

   To the men, you might call this life, but I call it demeaning and stupid, because you lack the right atitude towards life, if you had the right attitude towards life, you wouldn' have to bet with your friends or lie to a woman just to  have a night with her because you turned a blind eyes to the "Vanity of life" the right attitude restricts facades, then you wouldn't feign a perfect life on social media, when you know you are far from normal talk more of perfection.. If only the right attitude is not underrated then there would be no need to compare yourself to Chioma's Davido, or a lifestyle like Taraji P Henson's or Obama's daughter, be happy while you can, smile while you can and live a life while you can , when I said you should learn to "live and not just exist" I meant you should be the light, be the light that don't just illuminate your own darkness but others too, be selfless , so many persons are depending on you to shine their paths, don't dim their hopes, illuminate their darkness too. 

Our stay here on earth is very short, have you looked around to see so many persons pay to breathe in oxygen? Ever been to the less privileged homes? Maybe you will understand better when you do, that is where you will understand that all those, fights, brags, deciets and threats shouldn't be valid in our lives to start with.

What have you done for yourself and the people around you? Let's say that death knocks on the door tonight and a life is lost, what effect will your demise have on people? Have you impacted good or bad values? Have you lived a life yourself? How many paths did you illuminate the darkness that treaded on it? Have you ever knelt down to pray for no one else but yourself? Do you have the right attitude towards life?.

   How many times have you made a "selfless" prayer and possess a positive attitude towards life? what have you offered life for the free space it gave you to live in? What have you offered the world, you staying in? If only you have the right attitude towards life and people, then you wouldn't look down on that waiter that smiles back at you just to get your order or that receptionist that smiles at you in the office, or that hawker on the street that displays his goods in your face to buy, simply because you are opportune to sit at a table and get served, you look down on them like you are "God" be humble, that's the right attitude.

     So, you asked for a 10,000 and you got 2,000, instead of being grateful, you would rather ask why you weren't given the total amount you asked for, "bad attitude". Be grateful! Be thankful!

Help when you can, please I am reaching out to you, to me and to us, let's have the right attitude towards life. " let's say thank you' I appreciate even with the tiniest favors. If you don't love who you are with, stop lying to him/her, let the person go! Don't be a hindrance! Possess the right attitude my friend! Because life is short, don't pause anyone's life because you lack the right attitude towards life. 

That apprentice, house help, gate man, living under your roof is a human being too, treat them with respect and regard. That's the right attitude!! 

The right attitude towards life is when you don't allow one unwanted pregnancy experience to pull you down, had a child out of wedlock or let a divorce push you to the darkest path of the world, possess the right attitude towards the situation and embrace the light! Don't be a lunatic wallowing in self pity and agony! Nobody cares!

 Let's learn to adjust! Life is short! So lit people's faces with smiles when you can, light up their world when it seems dark,  live a life that someday, your history and footprints,the values and morals you impacted, will be embedded in the hearts of so many people, that you will never be erased by the wind or washed away by the rain, no matter how long or how fast the world revolves.
