THE CONSCIENTIOUS EMBLEM

Life is like a coin, one can spend it anyway he wishes but can only do that once. Mike Wickett puts it that life does not happen to us, it happens from us. Your life is what your thought makes it to be. How can we make use of our lives? A good response would be, as William James stated that the best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts life. My dear, life is not salvage to be saved out of the world, but an investment to be used right here in the world. This is why our main concern should not be to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves. It shouldn’t be to break our own records, but to outstrip our yesterday’s by today’s, and to do our work with more force than ever before. * * * A heroic visioned life is limited by three things: the knowledge in the mind, the worth of character and most importantly, the principles upon which the life was built. These principles either make or mar him. John C. Maxwell opined that many intelligent people never move beyond the boundaries of their self-imposed limitations. The life of an average man is distinctively different from that of radical, whom we verbally structure as extraordinary. In such life, could be seen tireless efforts, in attaining the laid down goals. In such life could be seen a landmark, that saves a bacon. In such life could be seen marvels of splendour that shines out of the darkness. In such life could be seen the blue sky which is the truth that God is love. In such life could be seen love which many waters cannot quench. In such life could be seen motivated work force that brings about satisfied customers. In such life could be seen hunger and thirst to bring up sinking souls. In such life could be seen stubbornness with purpose of which Rich De Vos, termed persistence. In such life could be noted appreciation, which one must live to praise. In such life could be seen selflessness, as to draw nigh to God. That life is a lot like the game of tennis; the losing factor fades away, the one who can serve best seldom loses. Only in such life could be seen a badge, success consciousness. And in no distant time would be an emblem, which men will struggle for, to attain. * * * Ride on and you’ll discover. Until your discovery guarantees your recognition, then you’ll become a better you.
