I do not think being alive is as important as what I do with my life…
I do not think living for oneself alone is being alive…
A man, who lives to only seek his own good lives with a dead conscience…
The faith or philosophy, which urges him on is dead, conscienceless and powerless, it is only meant for small minds…
I do think it takes conscience to live for a cause beyond oneself,
It is called a mission to leave the society better than one met it…
I do not partake in the pastime of fools, who celebrate lives and living,
I only celebrate a life’s meaningful contributions to the cause of humanity, the cause of GOD…
I do not join the celebration of the harvests a man reaps,
I join the celebration of the seeds, he sows for it is more blessed to give than to receive…
I love the way Albert Einstein captured the basis of his social conscience and consciousness, ‘a hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received.’
This I urge you and I urge myself.
Have an INSPIRED week.
Taiwo Akinlami Sober on his knees on the LORD’s day.
