Live life, don't just own it

It is common now a days to hear people say: 'Its my life so you can't tell me what to do with it .' Of course no one can and no one will also try to do that. But what good is possession if you have no idea how to utilize what you possess.

Today we celebrate Nkrumah, that's perfect. But the real question is will you also be celebrated tomorrow for the life you are living today? If no, then consider your ways.

Live your live such that the usefulness of your liveswill over live your useful life.

 PAIN IS SWEET

No pain no gain.

As the commander of a cadet group, I make my men chant this mantra anytime I want them to endure pain for quite a long of time.
Yes, no pain no gain; this is one of the basic principles of life, for you cannot reap where you did not sow and even the Bible speaks against it. Have you wondered why an athlete will go through a lot of pain in his previous days training but yet comes back to the tracks to train even harder than he did previously, because no pain no gain. How about a woman at labor; despite the many tears she sheds at the ward, she always loves to go back there, because no pain no gain.

People endure pain not for the love of it, but for the rewards that come after it. Therefore do not look at the pain that comes with a task, rather look at the reward thereof. problems are opportunities in work clothes. What you must see as tiring, as too much work or as a threat to your comfort is actually an opportunity that has assumed that form to serve as a screen to select and reward the brave.

Excellent people are men and women who toil at night while their fellows lay in bed. You need to sacrifice your comfort if in deed you need a change. You need to have the eye that is able to see tasks as opportunities and not a painful act.

Chant the mantra: no pain no gain and hold on for a little while, you will feel the change yourself. And trust me, you will love it.
