An Open But Closed Postulate Of Life

Either existing or living as we find ourselves, our lives are engulfed by constant and incessant reminders of certain variations of life. An ideal principle of existence informs us that we are strange beings as posterity enjoys the principle that, "our choices as human beings are triggered and fuelled by the status quo of sentiments at any point in time". The drumming effect of the rather ideal view that we are strangers is a fact, absolutely insurmountable. Everyday in an individual's life suffers a transformation either positively or negatively.

Sometimes, the negative occurances renders us intransigent, thereby,making us antagonistic to change. Our attitudes as human beings, to a large extent, influences everything about our life and our behaviour formation mechanisms. These mechanisms makes it easier to identify an individual's behaviour than it is to identify his or her attutude.

Attitudes are usually internal sentiments that possesses the tendency to influence one's behaviour,being an external sentiment. It is almost impossible to change a behaviour that ultimately agrees with a definite attutude. While underdeveloping inside, one cannot develop outside, in that, external occurances happen as a result of internal consessions and demands.

What we find difficult to understand is the natural occurance of events and we owe it a duty to come to terms with the fact that certain things arguably, in life, can't change, won't change and musn't change. These things would continue to happen by virtue of frantic efforts to effect a change. We can live a purposeful and balanced life when we make ourselves advocates for change. Success sometimes fails to beckon us simply because we align ourselves to things that run in contravention of the very values we represent.

One best thing to do in life is to change how we watch the things we see because several things about life appear illusionary, often times, even challenging people with a normal or perfect vision. This largely suggests that one can possess good sight and have a bad vision acuity. Life presents to us two forms of occurances namely : positive and negative occurances and one cannot live a life devoid of these occurances. Life is a complex web of an individual's existence where positivities and negativies show dominance and recessiveness over each other.

Attractions and repulsions are things that live with us everyday. They define extensively how our lives respond to the constant changes that life places on our desks periodically. This is largely due to our non-comprehension of God's own style of doing things. There's always a therapy for anything that breaks us down.

Every misfortune has it's direct fortune but often times, we open our arms wide accepting challenges thereby forcing our doors closed to positive happenings. Invariably, we are moved by strong exhortions to undertake certain steps or follow certain principles in life but often times, we live at the very base of our problems because of our precarious relationships with God. With God at the centre, the ripple effects are thrown to us, usually positively with the inverse when God is excluded.

Humanity today, have been surrounded by various myriads of middlescence and as much as the bedevil us, we need to develop a penchant to always view these challenges using positive lenses. By doing so, we would have our lives being drifted towards great happenings and benisons from God.
