Life Is A Boomerang

Life is unfair; it gives more thorns than roses, more tears than laughter, more failures than successes. Life is really unfair - it dashes hopes, shatters dreams and frustrates endeavours. But life is fair in this and in this only: it handsomely rewards those who enthusiastically love it - thorns, tears, failures and all. I have yet to meet a successful person who does not love life.  

 

Life has two faces - the beautiful and the ugly. Happily, life is a responder and not an initiator. It watches your countenance, searches your attitude and then responds with a corresponding face - ugly for ugly, beautiful for beautiful. In essence, you choose your own life. God has given you such an incredible power to be the initiator of the life you live and not a responder to the events of history.

 

Life is a boomerang. It throws back at you what you throw at it.

  1. Fantastic piece!Cant but agree any less with you Sir.Life is fair!It gives back to us as Output what we put in as Input.Some may fault this reality on the grounds that the effort put in do not necessarily give the desired result.The undoing of such folks often times is that they fail to yield the call of persistence!Recall the WORDS of the scriptures:Do not be weary in doing that which is good(the right things) for in due season you shall reap the dividends if you faint(relent) not.OGUNJIMI OLUWAFEMI.

  2. Thanks Oluwafemi. Patience is the twin of faith that makes waiting a purposeful, even if not an enjoyable, journey. To be sure, patience is not a docile activity but an active exercise - a true test of the depth and the character of our faith.
