Long Life

For anyone who desires to live long and see good days, such persons must be willing to guide his/her tongue with all deligence that it speaks seasoned words.

To live long is to lead a certain kind of life that indicates a relatively great or greater than average duration or passage of time or a duration as specified. It also means to live in a certain style for an extended time or at a distant time. Living long is not just in the length of days alone but it's also measured in the kind of life that is being lived during this period of time or length of days.

People come and people go, but do you know why certain persons would live in your heart forever? It is the impact such persons have been able to make in your life. It is not all about where the person (s) hails from, nor is it about the tribe, race, colour, background, class, age..., but the person. The person in this context means the true individual without the desire to impress but with the desire to become who he/she was made to be yet keeping it real.

To live long is to write your name in the heart of history. Wonder why certain persons live on long after they pass on? It is evident in the way such persons lived their lives. So while others are seeing them as people who are long gone, some are seeing them as people who are still alive because of the memory of such persons which continues to linger on.

I have come to terms with the fact that no matter what we do, some of us will pass on someday. The difference is in the timing. So I would rather live my life being happy than looking for reasons to be unhappy because life is too short to begin to attach so many weights to yourself amidst the busy schedule and activities of every day life. Happiness is not measured in what you possess or do not possess. Off course, there are people who have the whole world but are not happy while there are people who don't have it, yet are happy. I've always said this: it has to do with the mind. Nothing is too small if you know where to find the multiplier effect. In other words, if you know the multiplier, there would be some kind of calm (rest of mind), knowing that your source of supply does not come from man but from the one who gives man the opportunity to be a channel of blessing to you.
This is one of the reasons why the little can increase, and the small can become great. It is advisable to never think less than you aught to think because of what you're going through. Yes, it could be tempting but you can still gain control because you have the ability to accept or jettison any thought pattern whatsoever.

Long life is finding a reason to live or reasons to live where certain others cannot  find. Your mind has a majoy role to play because that is the legacy you would have left behind when you are not around. #Special kind of life #Relatively great life #Greater than average #Life in style #Extended time #Distant time #Reason(s) to live #Long life.
