YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, MAKE IT COUNT

As interesting and amazing such an ultimatum may seem, what many of us forget to factor in when we make such kind of a decision is the time factor. There is a time and a season for everything on earth and each season of one’s life comes with its own advantages that you ought to take advantage of. 

 

When you are in your youthful years, your mind is active and can easily assimilate and process information, you have physical, mental and emotional strength to pursue certain things, you are zealous and easily driven to go after your hearts desires. And often times it’s easy to bounce back up after a challenge and calamity in life or business because you know you still have time and you can always try again.

 

However, as you grow older, there are a lot of things that you could do whilst you where a youth that you wouldn’t do as well as you did when you grow older because you may not have the same strength, zeal and drive that you had whilst you where still a youth.

 

This is why it’s always important that you are conscious about how you spend your time and what you choose to invest in whilst you are a youth. Time is something you can’t recover when it passes and the last thing you want to do is to live in regret of the things you wish you did when you had the chance.

 

The fact that everything may seem rosy now doesn’t mean that life will always be that way, there will always come a time in one’s life when afflictions, challenges and storms will arise that may change everything around you. And often times many of us fail during that time of adversity because we didn’t build enough strength and inner capacity to be able to withstand the storms of life that comes with every season.

 

In your youthful season of life, you may make certain decisions either out of ignorance, lack of discernment, anger, excitement or lack of adequate information that may make you loose money, opportunities and even relationships, but these are things that you can recover with time and proper due diligence. However, if you are careless about what you do with your time whilst you are a youth, you can never go back to being a youth or recover the time you wasted the moment you grow up and grow out of that season

 

Enjoying life and living life too the fullest isn’t a bad thing, just make sure the things that make you happy and the things you choose to do with your time will not be at the expense of your destiny. You only live once, make everyday count.
