A Life of Oblivion

a life of fun!

Are you having fun? Is life showing you what you need to see? Are you actively pursuing your passion? Maybe life is just a blueprint for what you can be doing in your spare time. In life we work and try to earn a living. For many, this is something that can consume most of our time. But what are you doing to make it even better for yourself? Are you spending too much time working and not enough time making life even better?

Sometimes the best thing we can do is trust God to place people and events in our lives to enhance the life we are given. Yet there are things that YOU can do to try and make it even better in life, like, get off of internet platforms, go outside, and explore. Try to make new friends and learn as much as you can about the life that we all have here on Earth. Explore nature and God’s green planet for as long as you like. Go to a place where you feel most comfortable and try to enhance the life you have. Don’t get caught up in pursuits that might cause health issues or financial woe, but do things that will enliven your life. These are things that make life worth living and doing things in God’s name will make you a happier person.

a life of misfortune

Sometimes life deals us a bad hand. It just doesn’t care. We are given everything that doesn’t work out and nothing that does. But does that mean we’re alone? What does it mean when life is giving us everything wrong?

I believe that in life, we are offered opportunities to see things as God sees them. In life, not everything works out. We are all too familiar with the things that do not, and in some circumstances, this is all we encounter. In life, we have to remember that we are not in charge. Yes, it is indeed God who challenges us with obstacles we must overcome. In life, things don’t always seem fair. Why is it worse for me than the other person? Why am I struggling while my peer is doing exceptionally well? This is especially true in the generation of social media. Why are we comparing ourselves to others?

In life, you have to be your own person. And if that means struggling in everything, then that has to be your life for a while. It doesn’t mean that you’ll never have anything to look forward to, to the contrary, you will have everything to look forward to if you have faith in God. This definitely applies to each person who places God before worldly wants and needs. This is what we should all aspire to be. Humble faith and dedication to Godly pursuits will place you on a higher plane of existence than your neighbor, and this is what will set you apart in God’s eyes.

a life of misunderstanding

What is the point of life? Is it living for the money? Is it living for the next day? Is it faith – filled? Is it religion? Is it simply to survive? Life can be purposeful or non – purposeful depending on how we approach it. In every situation, we are given choices. Choosing for the next day or the future is wise only if you are confident that you will be given a second chance. Life should be led by those who live in the present. Wise choices can be culled from the past, but what is most important is that you are attuned to what you know God wants you to do and live accordingly.

There can be many errors that can be made just by living for the present. Some gamble their lives away. This can be a problem. One must always think in terms of what is actually helping instead of harming. If one keeps this in mind, then mistakes are minimal. It is always a good idea to live with the firm understanding that God wants you to be helped and to give help. Then always be mindful of what you do every day, in terms of how you’re helping others, and what you’re doing for yourself. This can make things much easier for you.

It is always good to remember that once you make a mistake, it might change your entire course. It’s vital to think in terms of what is helping you, and what is helping others whenever you act. Promising lives are given to all of us, even those with disabilities and different circumstances, whether they be rich or poor. It is vital that we remember what we know of God to keep us in a good light and to remind us that we are here to be reminders of what God is capable of. In any event, live for the present and leave tomorrow’s worries for that day. Nothing can be more important to keep in mind.

a life of exile

Ever feel like you’re living in exile? And do you feel that life could be so much better had you lived it in the middle of things? And where do you feel currently? Are you a part of it – the grand picture, or are you left out? Sometimes in life we feel out of it when we are actually in the middle of it. In fact, many of us are right where we belong. In times of distress, it’s easy to feel like you’re on an island off on your own. But believe me, you’re right where you belong, and that’s where God placed you.

a life of stress

What stresses you out? Bills? Payments? Life? Rent? People? Bosses? Expectations? Whatever the case may be, God doesn’t want you to stress out about anything; he wants you to live life to its fullest. Maybe what we need in life is something called pressure – it motivates us to get up and go! If we didn’t have pressure, many of us would simply sit around and do nothing. We feel pressured to get up and get what we need or the means to do so. We are fulfilled once we get it. It helps to learn what we do in times of stress to figure out if we should be more strong in times of peace, because if we are strong when there is no stress, then we are even stronger when we have to be.

a life of surprise!

Surprising things happen all the time: a bill, a sale, a gift, a weight loss goal achieved, good news, a global event, the list goes on. What we can learn from surprises is that we learn most about ourselves in how we react to them. A surprise can be both a positive and negative thing, and especially now, we must learn when to distinguish between a temporary and a life – changing event. Sometimes the best surprises are those that we never thought would ever happen, and other times they can be the very ones to knock us down.

I believe that purposeful living involves God leaving us surprises to keep us alert to how connected we are to him. We must never forget to evolve as people with him in mind, and without life’s surprises, we are unable to truly grow. Life can be a surprise party full of friends, or one big disaster we never anticipated, but the one constant is how we react to the surprise and if we are close enough to God to recover from the initial shock.

a life of desire

A life of desire can mean anything from wanting to be with the one you love, or craving that one thing you think will make your life alright. It can be a desire that is attainable, or one that is more difficult to achieve. What one must remember in life is that a life spent desiring people, objects or things can never be satiated because it is one of lack and disappointment. Sometimes the best thing we can do if we desire someone or something is just to go for it, and see what happens. If it doesn’t result in the way that we crave, then the best thing we can do is to try again, and again, until we achieve it. Some things are best left alone, after all, certain people and things are not for us. It is not for us to decide what we end up with in the end. God knows what’s best for us in the end, and it is he who desires for us to get everything we need and crave – whether it be here on Earth, or with him in his Kingdom. And that is all we have to worry about when it comes to getting the things we want!

a life of disaster

Sometimes life never turns out the way we want it to. Sometimes it’s just the way we want it NOT to be. It doesn’t mean that we are lacking in certain ways, but it simply means that we are destined for a life of struggle. Struggle is something that some of us must endure in order to reach a higher plane of existence. It is predestined by God that many of us struggle in life, and this is unfair. It is very unfair for some people to struggle ceaselessly while others meander through life painlessly. There is no other way to describe this disparity. However, once we have reached our higher plane, everything that we have endured will be worth it. And it is always worth it to keep God in mind in times of struggle and distress. He is steadfast and will get you through it every time.

a life of perfection

Perfection is difficult to maintain. Many of us feel that life without perfection is not worth living. There are other things that one must keep in mind: patience, time, and faith. It is not worth getting upset if you are not receiving the results in life you crave. It is however worth waiting for that great moment to come. We can only do our best, and believe that God will do the rest. It is not worth getting upset over small things that we cannot control. Only concern yourself with the things you can. It is then when you will receive the great results you crave.

a life of disappointment

Are you disappointed with your life? Are you finding that things are not what they are “supposed” to be? Where are you getting your information? Perhaps life is on course for YOU, not others. There are different courses charted out for different people, and every person in life has a unique course. Their course should not impact yours. So please, do not compare yourself to other people, do not cruise LinkedIn.com and compare your profile to another person’s success, and do not go on facebook or Instagram and think of ways to boost your profile. It is just another fabricated lie that is perpetuated by those who do not know how important you are to God. And never think that life is supposed to be the same for everybody. What might work for one person, will be a potential disaster for you, and that’s fine. It’s what works for US in the end that matters.
