Men struggle every day in issues of life and a lot of time, energy and resources are wasted in pursuit of life issues. Surprisingly as I listen and observe many people, there are essentials in life that they miss and they put a lot of their abilities in issues that do not add much value to them. Most people think of money as key essential in their lives which is not true. The ultimate expression of life is living a good life.
A good life constitutes of:
a. Being Productive
You cannot sit and expect results. You won't be happy if you don't produce. We must rest, but only long enough to gather strength to get back to productivity.
What's the reason for the seasons and the seeds, the soil and the sunshine, the rain and the miracle of life? It is to see what you can do with it and to try your hand to see what you can do.
b. Being Spiritual
The Bible is an important book to guide us in life issues. We are able to get lots of lessons from the Bible that that help us to identify life purpose. Reading it helps to form the foundation of the family that builds the nation. Ensure you study, practice and teach. Don't be careless about the spiritual part of your nature because it's what makes us who we are.
c. Invest in Your Family
Most men have very little time with their families. They make money assumedly for their families and in the end they lose the family. The closest people to you are your wife and children. They need you as much as you need them. Invest in them, and they'll invest in you. Inspire them, they will inspire you.
If a father walks out of the house and he can still feel his daughter's kiss on his face all day, he's a powerful man. If a husband walks out of the house and he can still feel the imprint of his wife's arms around his body, he's invincible all day. The prophet said, "There are many virtues and values, but here's the greatest: one person caring for another." There is no greater value than love.
d. Live Life with Vitality
Live a vital life. There will be something unique and magical about you if you live well. It will infuse not only your personal life but also your business life. And it will give you a vitality that nothing else can give. Nobody else can do what you can do.
e..Having Good Friends
Friends can be a blessing or a disaster. In life we get very few friends. Friendship is probably the greatest support system in the world, so don't deny yourself the time to develop it. Nothing can match it. It's extraordinary in its benefit. Friends are those wonderful people who know all about you and still like you.
f. Connect with Your Inner Circle
There are people who are very close to you. We call them the Inner Circle. They advise you on very important decisions. Take care of the details with your inner circle. It's the special relationship with your inner circle that makes you strong and powerful and influential. So don't miss that opportunity.
g. Pride in One’s Culture
o Everyone comes from a background of culture. We have language, music, ceremonies, traditions, dress, etc that define our culture. All of that is so vitally important that you must keep it alive. The uniqueness of all of us, when blended together, brings vitality, energy, power, influence, and rightness to the world.
Finally
Make sure in your busy day to remember the true purpose and the reasons you do what you do. May you truly live the kind of life that will bring the fruit and rewards that you desire.
