What Does Life And Living Mean To You – A Life Lesson
Something We ALL Need To Think About
A lot of people honestly just don’t understand life – they really don’t.. They think they know it all, they think they might have it all mapped out – they think that they have it all figured out, but I bet – you truthfully don’t.. There’s more to this “life” than “buying happiness”.. There’s more to this life than Facebook, video games, paying rent, working 80+ hours a week, money or trying to base your life on wanting to make more money – (because at a certain point more money has no personal value), trying to act or look cool – or even trying to have all the “nicest things in life”, because sadly believe it or not it doesn’t really matter how “big” your bank account is – how “big” your house is – how “educated” you are – or how much “money” you have – or how many “cars” you drive – you need to learn and understand that one day you will DIE, yes, “death” comes for us all, there is no escaping it.. And when your “time” is up, you can’t take NOTHING with you on your death bed.. And if you’re lucky and you live into old age, you will end up needing care and you will become just a “room number” and/or a “last name” and nobody will know you nor your “life story” and honestly no one really cares… “Learn To Cope With Death”
So if you want to waste your weekends away playing video games, or laying around watching Netflix, or laying around watching TikTok for hours, blowing your money on stupid things that you think matters – living paycheck to paycheck – then you can “sleep your life away”, spend half your day on Facebook or your cell phone, spend less time with your kids – go party it up then, go have your “best day ever” moments – that’s your choice and it’s your life.. When in the back of your mind you don’t like it, but you’re still complaining about it? You talk about wanting to change and become a better person from it, yet you continue to do NOTHING about it?? Why??
“I’m surrounded by people – always wanting change, but don’t nobody really want to change though.. People are always talking about wanting a better life, dreaming on winning the lotto, like they really have a chance though?”
“People never seem to focus on what matters most, like they have nothing to live for? Seems like nobody wants to pray anymore, until they GOT SOMETHING TO PRAY FOR! Everybody is going to die, do we even really “live” though?”
“If god is real then where is he? People never want to let him in.. The same god that we believe don’t exist, now becomes REAL to us ON OUR DEATH BED?”
Some people feel like their clothes, shoes, even their car or having nice things in general, they feel like these “materialistic” things will take them far in life – really?? They think they matter or feel important because of their shoes, their car, their job, the money that they make, and even the drugs that they take.. In all honesty – it don’t matter and these type of people are probably living at home with family or staying with friends not doing anything in life.. If you claim to be a “real man” but your wife and/or girlfriend is working bringing home all the money – you need to understand, that’s not your money – you don’t control her nor her money and you don’t provide for “no one” you don’t call the shots… So for you to be a “real man” you need to learn to pay a mortgage and/or rent every month, learn about some “goals” in life, learn to love, learn to make a car note every month, learn happiness, learn to keep a JOB verses you trying to bring everyone around you down… Get your credit score up, learn to be a “real man” – go start or make a “real family” and learn to provide for them – not take away from them, lie to them, or hurt them.. Learn to be a honest person, and stop being always concerned or worried about just your damn self and what other people think and say.. Learn to put food on the table and not “JUST FOR YOU” – but for YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!!!
It’s funny how a “job title” can separate people, it’s actually hilarious.. It’s like sometimes I feel unimportant at my job, I even feel like people are ignoring me, because I do what I do for a living “by choice” and it makes me “happy” – that doesn’t make me an uneducated individual like I don’t know the difference from left and right.. Does your job status and/or badge or name-tag make you an important person over others? Do you “matter” more then others? People are blinded and always quick to assume or judge because I don’t meet their standards – but if only they would just come have a conversation with me they will see the type of person that I really am.. You may be a nice person, show kindness, say hi – even say good morning – and people will not acknowledge you they may even think you don’t know left from right – haha or there is always “that person” that people think is “important” and is funny and this person can pop jokes and everybody laughs about it, but YOU can say the same joke and nobody laughs?? Can you relate?? Yet the same people can always go that extra mile to say “good morning” to other “important” people that pretend to – “matter”, even seen some hand shakes time after time – but they just “walk” right by YOU never to actknowledge YOU like YOU mean nothing.. They think YOU do not MATTER just because of what your job title is??
You need to know that anybody and I mean anybody can “come up” – get “educated” and become “better” than you.. That you’re just one paycheck away from being “homeless”.. So when you start “comparing others”, “thinking” or “assuming” that you’re a better person because of your house, job title, money in your bank account, the car that you drive, down to the very shoes on your feet – you become a “FAILURE” at life.. Making 50k or even 100k a year doesn’t make you a good person, a good parent, a great cook, a good friend, not even decent in the bedroom – if you’re catching my drift.. If you’re an honest, kind, good, hard-working person, you would want to “change someones life to make it better”,
NOT THROW YOUR SUCCESS IN PEOPLE’S FACES OR WALK AROUND, DOWN TALKING EVERYONE LIKE YOU’RE BETTER THEN OTHERS BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT!!
“I’m not worried about you, I’m not entitled to like or impress every single person that I come across – if they have “never” really made an “impact” in my life nor “never” helped me out in it nor “never” been there for me, why would I CARE about what they think or say about me?”
You don’t want to look back at your life and everything that you thought “mattered” and was “important” to you – and then you end up finding out it really “wasn’t” years later.. Money and personality – that’s probably all they have going for themselves.. Remember you only get one life – and life is really short, and with the snap of your fingers – life can be really gone and taken away and you end up a “sad story”.. There’s no need to “look up” or be “impressed” by the money, the followers, “image”, the degrees, job titles, what people make an hour, or what their name-tag and/or badge says – it doesn’t matter at the end of the day.. Be inspired and impressed by kindness, integrity, generosity, courage and the people who made an “impact” in your life.. Life really isn’t about being rich, being popular, being highly educated or even being slightly perfect.. Being real to yourself and others, not trying to be something that you’re not and/or being “fake”.. Being positive, being humble, being helpful, just be respectful and be thankful for everything that you have in your life..
At then end of the day I get life.. I’m not the type of person to look down on someone and talk crap about them, or talk crap about other people, or complain, while other people – they love to point fingers and play the “blame game” and blame other people because you’re not where you want to be at in your life because of him or her or other people and truthfully – “it’s your fault”, not mine, not theirs.. I don’t think that I’m a better person than anyone, my life is my life, not yours.. My choices they’re mine, not yours too make.. I made it, you didn’t.. I grew, you didn’t.. I believed in myself, you didn’t.. I wanted change, you didn’t.. You made excuses, I DIDN’T..
We will all grow old so you live your life with less or live your life with money – it doesn’t matter.. Happiness can come from just having little to nothing and making the best out of it.. IT COST ZERO TO BE A RESPECTFUL, KIND, HONEST, HUMBLE, DECENT HUMAN BEING.
“Sometimes life isn’t going to be perfect, we’re going to stumble and fall.. Sometimes we learn and sometimes we learn nothing at all.. Why live a life full of regrets, on the decisions that you make.. We’re all sipping on this air – trying to make it in this life.. Some of us rather get hooked on the drugs and stay high or drink away the pain – but you wanted to take it there, so you took it there, that was the choice that you made.. Some of us are still trying to find our ways, while some of us are looking for a way out – searching for a different way – a different rout”
