Better Than Yesterday

Nothing is worth fighting for, except that which makes you better than yesterday. If it earns me lasting answers, I am in it!
(+ Uche Adiogu).

To be better is to have desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified. It tells of something superior in quality or condition or effect. Better is a comparative of good, and it means to be superior to another (of the same class or set or kind) in excellence, or quality or desirability or suitability. It also means to be more highly skilled than another. Yesterday, on the other hand, is the day immediately before today.

We learn every day. We encounter different experiences everyday. Work go on everyday. Different activities play out everyday. Birthdays are celebrated everyday, just the way lives are lost everyday. New technology spring up everyday. Deals are signed everyday. Business thrives everyday. Some make profits while some encounter losses. Relationships are built everyday while some ties are dissolved. Decisions are made everyday. Some are made in your favour while others may not be in your favour. All of these and much more, takes place everyday to making you understand the flexibility, uncertainty, and certainty of life.

Life is like a swinging pendulum. Today may be your turn, and tomorrow may be another's turn. It take turns, and therefore not a place or space to brag.

I have seen people drag, strive, wrestle, or fight for a particular thing..., or one position or the other. The most funniest of it all is seeing people fight, and when asked the reason for fighting, such persons don't even know why they fight let alone to tell or explain.

Honey! Nothing is worth flexing your muscles for, if it is not making you a better person in anyways, than who you were yesterday. By a better person, I mean a person of value, with the right virtues, with the right state of mind, of excellence, character, positive attitude etc.

The essence of life, and what really makes life worthwhile, is to look back at yesterday and nodd in optimism, that you were not who you used to be. And even if you have any doubts about your present status, be thankful because no matter where you find yourself in the map of life, and you really want to be sincere, you would attest to the fact that some things have turned around.

So the next time you think about a fight, please ask some vital questions like: is it going to improve me mentally, physically, materially, spiritually and otherwise? Will it make me better than yesterday? Will it make my dreams come through? Will it make me fulfill my purpose? Will it take me to my destination? The above questions and lots more, if answered sincery, would make you pick your battles, hence making you a better person. #Better #Excellence #Positive quality #Desirability #Suitability #Everyday #Turns #Fight #Improvement #Purpose #Dreams #Destination.
