Some Beautiful Learnt Lessons of Life By Gracious Akintayo

Every life God created has differences in life experience, exposure and encounter. However good or bad; positive or negative, it depends on views in its entirety.

Life can be worrisome, problematic, difficult, confusing, tough and hard. But your imagination will determine how life treat you.
Fact is, no creation was promised that life will be smooth, easy and rosey without crisis, circumstances and situations.

From conception to growing in the womb, till delivery and childhood development with becoming a teenager to adolescent growth. Then to the circle of adulthood before moving to elderly position with ageing responsibilities before the last breath, life is full of trouble and tribulations.

The only hope and assurance we have is salvation through Christ Jesus that is not only assuring us of abundant and peaceful life now, also after life with comfort that in this world, we will have tribulations, but He will not forsake us.

Nevertheless, at every stage of life, there are lessons we learn that form our lifestyle, character, desire, principle, outlook and inward attitude.

In my over fifty years of God’s gracious grace and goodness in growing on this earth, there are lessons, I have learnt in hard and difficult way; still learning to profer solution for full restoration and will still learn to positively impact my generation.

The day a man claim to know it all or exempt himself from life lessons; is the day, he died and become a walking corpse awaiting burial.

No matter the situation and circumstances I found myself, I have always see, take and believe life in positive way. Because, the Good News and Book of Life (The Bible) told me; in ALL things, give thanks. ALL that God created are good and, ALL things work together for good.

Finally, Life is too Beautiful and Good than to be tagged ugly, bad, bitter and wicked.

Here are some lessons of life I have learnt and have positively affect me;

1. When you take God for granted, your life and goals will be grounded.

2. Push pass the pains of the past and passionately pursue the purpose of God ahead of you (my P7).

3. When life hits you hard, crawl to God, cry for mercy, seek His healing and fellowship with His word to liberate you.

4. Been born of same parent is not a guarantee to share same destiny or runn same race.

5. The greatest success in life is discovering your purpose and pursuing it with passion for posterity sake -a life without a purpose is a life without a goal.

6. The worst human being is one without a desire, determination and destination. Because, determination determine destiny.

7. Better to follow a homeless man with great dreams than to habit in a mansion with a man without a dream.

8. An hypocrite and mischievous character is a silent murderer without sword. Pretending to be real, but they are fake!

9. Material things are ingredients and essentials of life to cover our nakedness. They are not achievement but possessions to comfort our lives.

10. You can be age mate, school mate and room mate. But, not grace mate.

11. Respect is not humility, it is acknowledgement and reciprocal for one another.

12. The greatest fool is one who think or feel he is better than the other person.

13. Instead of living in regret, be remorseful, forgive yourself and move on to mend your ways.

14. Don’t be copycat of others lifestyle, you will end up living a counterfeit life.

15. A life without principle is a life without direction and a life without direction is a life without value.

16. What makes a man is not how much he has or possess. But how matured to manage, mentor, motivate and monitor others.

17. Fathering is not fatherhood and being a father is not a qualification of father figure.

20. Ambition is not a vision. It is an application of self desire and interest.

21. The worst mistake in life is making a mistake and remaining in the mistake lamenting and regretting.

22. Until the wrongs are corrected and rightly settled there can be no peace.

23. Whosoever doesn’t accept or realise it’s mistake is not reliable and dependable. Anyone full of excuses, complaint and reasons is a failure.

24. Success is not determined by acquisitions and possessions. But self discovery and impact.

25. You are not a failure until you chose to be one and stop trying. The life you live today is your choice for tomorrow.

36. What you sow, you will reap. Cultivate your land and uproot bad seeds, to avoid reaping thorns and briars.

37. Delay is not denial, it is only a stopover. Where you are today does not determine where you are going tomorrow.

38. Life is good and sweet. But, bad and bitter with your imagination.

39. If you don’t make yourself happy; no one and nothing will make you happy, even God!

40. Don’t live in regret. If you live in regret today, you will not have the strength to live happy tomorrow. Live in reality of life for renewal, to recover and be restored.
