Pathway To Living A Better Life [Final Part]

One of the truths about life is that it can be enjoyed, which of course means that it can get better. However, you are the major determinant if your life will get better or not, this is through your actions. You need to understand that whatever you do in life; your actions, decisions, choices, even inactions, have obvious effects on your future. This is why you have to take your life into consideration when you want to either act or making a choice of not to act. In the previous episode, we saw some ways by which one can make their life better and here, we shall be taking the concluding part.

The first secret towards living a much better and fulfilled life is to live in the moment. Even though you are to make plans for tomorrow, but you should not be held captive by the thoughts of what tomorrow will bring that it will prevent you from living the present moment. Trust me, the only moment you are guaranteed is the present. In fact, you do not have control of the past because it is already passed. In the same way, you may not also have control of the future because you have not seen it. But at least, you have the present moment within your area of control, so make it count. You need to be mindful of how you live in the present and avoid what you do not have control of to distract you.

Another very important secret you need to have in order for your life to be worthwhile is to practice continuous and lifelong learning. Your life is almost basically at the mercies of what you know. What differentiates the people that have a worthy life and others might just be a function of knowledge. One of my friends once made a humorous but highly insightful statement, he said; "the harder you learn, the softer your life will be." This means that the more you know about life and other things, the better you will begin to live because you will now see better ways of doing things.

It is worthy to note that learning comes with better living. As long as you keep learning new things, you will keep growing and developing. More so, in this world that is always evolving and advancing in all spheres of human endeavour, your survival, your relevances, and your overall adaptation might just hinge on how much you know. You will be surprised that part of the major challenges facing a lot of people is rooted in ignorance. But as you know and grow in knowledge, then you will see how beautiful life can actually become.

The next secret to achieve a better living is to focus more on the solution rather than being bothered about the prevailing challenges. In fact, the reason the challenge came is so that you will use it as an opportunity to ascend to the next level of your life and achieve greatness. The people that have made great impact in life, even the great inventors of the past and present are solution providers. When you focus on creating solutions, your life will be worthwhile.

The last pathway that will make you to live a better life is to learn to give back to people. Your kindness to others is part of what makes your life worth living. Let the people around you feel you when you are around. When you help people, you contribute to the good course of humanity. You are not blessed so that you will keep the blessings alone, but so that you will use it for the greater course of humanity. It is not what you keep to yourself that creates the impact but what you give. When you do good to people, then you are living to fulfil the demands of humanity. When giving, you should not expect immediate gratification or quick returns from the kind gesture. In fact, the person you are helping may not even be able to repay you, but it should not stop you from doing good. But somehow, the benefits will come to you directly or indirectly; so keep doing good.
