You Are Worthy Of a Good Life

We are not on this planet permanently.

No matter how dysfunctional your background, how broke or broken you are, where you are today, or what anyone says, YOU MATTER, and your life matters. — Germany Kent

As I scribble down every word in this article, the memory of my father flashes through my mind.

I remember the good times we shared together, the smiles, happy moments together, just everything. When I lost that scholarship to study Civil Engineering overseas due to the demise of my beloved father, my entire perspective about life changed.

We are not on this planet permanently. I learned from my father that if you want to leave a legacy, do something worth writing or write something worth doing. In other words, a meaningful life must be purposeful. Most people fear that life will come to an end, but unfortunately for them, it never begins.

When driving a car, you must be in a position where you can exercise proper control over your car and retain a full view of the road and traffic ahead. Well, this is applicable in life. You must be able to control your life and also take it to the proper directions it needs to go. You must be unwilling to let anyone or anything forcefully take the wheel from you, else, the unexpected may happen.

There’s more to life than the struggles you face.

This piece provides very clear and on point directions on how to handle the ups and downs one encounter in life. It is very encouraging and has a very up beat tone. It is spoken in a sober but comforting voice. Having this conversation I would be in…

Even when things are going so well in your life, it can be easy to fall under the spell of depression and you start to wonder if life is really worth living.

My condolences to you Godswill. I feel for you!!! You are a warrior my friend :)))
