What Is It Worth?

Your life, your relationships, your family, your children, that house, that car, that job (work), that business, that industry, that asset, workshop, office, shop..., what is it worth? Is it worth fighting for or dying for? Is it worth the everyday stress? Is it worth the hardwork? Is it worth the hussling and bustling? If it is worth your time, then it should be worth the wait.

Most people in the world today put in all the efforts they know how, only for it to yield below what is expected. Sometimes, it looks like we are all in a competition, with each persons trying to outdo the other. And then it goes on and on like a trend with no one determining when it would end. For some persons, even though they know that it doesn't augur well for them, they just want to stay abreast with the pretence that all is well, trying to impress while it's eating them up inside. For how long are you going to carry on like that?

Much as healthy competition is a prerequisite in modern day businesses and what have you, it is pertinent to note that you are not in competition with anybody. Real competition is the competition you make within yourself so as to be better than yesterday.

It is good to be up and doing, industrious, hardworking etc. However, you can still do all of these without getting the necessary results if it is not your time. The job (work), business, relationships, assets..., that we are over protective about, we can wake up one day, only to discover that they are no more. These are the uncertainties amidst the certainties of life. So no one should ever feel like he/she has monopoly to life. Life gives, and sometimes it takes away. Where then is the safe haven?

Do all you can, I mean your best to get by or to stay abreast in life, but don't be so much in a hurry. Wait for your time. Know when to launch out, and when to refrain. Know when to follow your instincts rather than what others expect of you. Know when to keep the pace, and when to refresh. Know your limits, and when to seek for help (support). Make futuristic plans. Make provisions for unexpected events, no matter how small or big. Be at alert. Don't always come up with the notion that everybody is OK by you. Mark those who really love you even though their weaknesses come to play at times. At least that is understandable and you can deal with it than those who pretend to love you but are killing you slowly. Don't hate those who don't like you but learn from the experiences they put you through, and be careful in your dealings with them. Know the people who are willing to stand by you whether you have or not, and those who only come around you when they sense you have. Know where to draw the line between these persons and handle them with wisdom.

Don't overwork yourself! You don't have to always be around when there are people around who can handle a given task. You can diversify! I mean use the time for something else that is productive. Don't tie things, whatsoever it is, to yourself such that if you're not around, it won't move on. Instead, let them miss you dearly, but let the work go on... #Worth #Value #Healthy competition #Yourself #Industrious #Wisdom #Over protective #What is it worth?
