Life is too beautiful not to
experience it. A lot of times people dwell on the past too much especially the
ones that were not too good that they forget there is a lot of beauty in the
present to experience. Two things are certain in life. One, everything won’t go
as planned and two, because you are human, you will make mistakes. The thing
is, will you dwell on that mistake or what could have been and not enjoy what
is in front of you? In my opinion, I think that would be, being very hard on
yourself, not forgiving yourself and as well, denying yourself the opportunity
to experience the beauty of life. One thing here is also certain Life is
beautiful because God created it. The book of Genesis in the bible tells us
“God saw that it was good” or in another version "God was pleased with what he saw" five times in Chapter 1:10, 1:12, 1:18, 1:25 and 1:31.
So if God saw that it was good then definitely as LG would say “Life is good”
and I dare say that Life is beautiful.
Let me ask a question here, would
you turn down a lucrative job offer that meets everything you want in a job
because your previous employer whom you have given so much of your time and
energy sacked you just like that? Nna not me o! So why would you break up from
a relationship and then deny yourself the chance of experiencing another
beautiful one when you meet someone amazing simply because you are still trying to
heal from the previous one?
One thing said earlier that it is
certain as humans that we would make mistakes. We have also heard severally
that what makes a man is not how many times he falls but how he rises up and
starts again. So why then do we dwell so much on our mistakes? Why do we
discover we have made mistakes and then instead of moving on be hoping for
miracles? Why would you see something good staring you in the face and choose
something else because of fear?
I think Life's goal for almost
everyone is to enjoy life, fulfill our purpose while doing God's will. If that
is the case, why would you see a perfect opportunity to experience the beauty
of life and just walk way like in the case of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
maybe because of fear of the unknown? A lot of times we are guilty of not even
trying at all. Do you want to die knowing that you tried or regretting not
trying?
One thing is certain, human beings
are beautiful because God who is so beautiful in nature and full of everything
good created them in his image and likeness. So I am quite confused when
someone approaches you and asks for a relationship remember here this person
carries the image of God and maybe God sent this person, the person could as
well be an angel (I think an angel is anybody God uses to help someone) and
then you say you want to heal of a past relationship. Somehow, I think it’s
like telling God wait first am coming. You may be wondering what this guy is
saying or what does he know. But then I ask again, would God deny another his
blessing because someone else offended him or ask that person to wait first let
him heal from the offence of another man? It's also painful because a lot of
people are in relationships and are not giving their best and loving fully because
of what happened in the past, what the person has done or what they are afraid
may happen tomorrow.
Finally, I think we should love
unconditionally, experience life (according to God's will) to its fullest,
never let your past stop you, be kind, be happy, be free, love freely, touch
lives, smile a lot, make friends, make mistakes, learn from your mistakes, do
volunteer work, give all your best and if doesn't work start again and give
still all your best, be selfless and don't ask too many questions while doing
so.
Life is Beautiful, experience it.
