Make The Most
Of Yourself

Poet Ralph W. Emerson said, “Make the most of
YOURSELF for that is all there is for you.”
One of the lessons I learned is that “no one
will look after yourself except yourself”. Apart from God, nobody will care for
you forever except yourself. Your family and friends will come and go, but in
the end, you will be by and of yourself only. You will be alone to face even beyond
life, to face and answer God alone.
We live a life full of hope. If not, we will
not know what is beyond that hopes. We live with a consolation that no matter
how hard it is to let go of the challenges and pain, God will always be there
for us, for He knows what is best for us. He will not answer all our prayers instantly,
but in time, He will.
Have you realized that of letting go someone
who doesn’t actually deserve to be remembered and loved? How do you feel? Hurt?
Eventually, as you go along and focus yourself to others who deserve your love
and care, you will look back how you learned the lesson of releasing and
letting be yourself take care the beauty of loving and caring again to someone
who deserves most. Now, it hurts, but it is tested and proven that the future
holds a better feeling of respecting yourself and learning to discern that the
best is yet to come. Indeed, the feeling teaches us to face the future with
vigor and fun, with more enthusiasm and dynamism, and with more love to share.
However,
it is easier said than done. To those who experience letting go is the hardest
decision in life. I can attest that life after letting go is the most beautiful
life ever to live. The past will teach and make us a better person than the
past, but the present and the future will give us the wonderful and amazing
feeling that life is worth living ever.
For
“a strong person like the waterfall always channel his own path.” No one will
channel it for you except yourself. Nobody will and never will they be.
Therefore, make the most of yourself and
let God be at the center of it. Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once said, “He
who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world.” Whenever one
makes a decision for one’s self, sees to it that there is a positive impact, the
return is to oneself to make one feels better, make one happy and contented,
will give positive vibes in one’s life and in harmony with oneself. Indeed, the
world will get back to him/her generously.
My
good friend who passed away showed me through her smile and laughter of how it
is to live a good life no matter how painful it is for her. Amidst the
challenges she went through, she managed to show finer life even in the middle
of sufferings and pain. She left us memories and reasons to smile, even after
she left us.
