Hello guys @pasaift here. Today, I want to write a bit about life, let's call it a reflection on life, and how we live.
Many, if not all of us have in our minds litany of reasons why we choose to live, or why we do the things we do, or act the way the way we do. I took some time a while back to to ask some acquaintances and friends the reason why they do things the way they do. I really wanted to know what motivated them to keep living. My observation was that most people have the have the wrong reasons, or don't have a reason at all. We also tend to be selfish in doing things just to our own benefit. I have a message for us today "it's not all about us"

I may not have lived a long life, but atleast I know that a life lived just for one's benefit is indeed a wasted life. The art of living is an act of giving and and the art of giving is an act of love. Life in itself is a gift given to us which we in turn are to benefit others with it. We are made for each other, your life is not totally yours. It should affect others. Our life's are intertwined, we all are pieces in this big chess board called life, irrespective of our ranks, evey one has a purpose. When you refuse to play along in that chess board, things don't really fall in order.

We should live for one another. For everyone this should be an obligation. It make us complete and makes life meaningful. Giving us a sense of purpose, belonging and value. So when we live our lives, let's live it bearing in mind that there is someone who really needs an act of kindness from us.

My way of thinking maybe naive but I assure you that if we all live not only for ourselves, but for others, this world would definitely be a better place.
Remain Blessed

Life is worth living and we are defined by what we do. A great read to reflect upon.

Inspiring Stuff . YOLO . Let's make this life count

Great post mate great message, sadly not everyone will create effort to make others happy as humans are selfish in a way but the message you just shared will defintely contribute to positive energies that we need.

Well said bro

This is great... But trust me, you're not naive... Sometimes people need to see things the way you do to stop worry.

... We were made for each other... Please people understand that ... Be kind to everyone that come across your way in life. Let your life be a ladder not an obstacle.
