THE PATH OF LIFE

 life as they say, is a long journey whose road got a lot of bumps, stop signs not forgetting the sharp corners to be negotiated in the course of this journey. How one navigates this complex path, in order to make a progress or even reach the final destination is the most important thing.

The combined effects brought about by these common obstacles, means that one should not have high expectations on having a smooth ride, but should rather embrace a winning mentality and embolden an attitude that will prepare him /her to overcome the inevitable challenges along the way. This requires an individual to aim at seeking leverage, from both empowering physical and mental factors. This is critical in maintaining the stamina and the crucial momentum necessary to keep one going.

There exists a variety of options that one can reference in to keep focus so as not to lose track in the long path. The success of the journey is much dependent on individual input in the main process. There are however some basic factors that have to be considered before anything else:

One should therefore at all times irregardless of the level of income , strive with precision to effectively budget for these things:food, shelter and clothing which are vital in human life.

Any attempts to make a step in life without adequately satisfying this needs, would amount to a situation in which one hopes against hope, which is an unrealistic optimism. This is because any desires or wishes beyond this basic stage of life, demands first and foremost a certain level of peace of mind. This crucial peace is hard to be achieved in an environment rife with inadequacy of this essential wants. Ability to meet them gives one the freedom of navigation, vital in exploration of things and issues beyond the survival range.

       2: HEALTH 

Good health is a very important thing in human life. Adverse effects on our health affects our normal body functioning, making one less productive and ineffective. Health affects indivindual's both physical and mental abilities crucial in rolling the wheel of life in the long journey. Sometimes we can't have full control over our health system, as causative agents that lead to various ills that impact on our general well-being pop out from situations and circumstances beyond our control. 

However it is important through individual efforts, and using available means to try to maintain quality hygiene. This involves maintaining good health habits and avoiding harmful substances likely to inflict the wellness of the general body system. Risky lifestyles and indulgence in drug abuse in most cases impaires the brain, which results in poor judgment and decision making. In addition to this, the affected person might experience an emotional pain that deprives one the ability to perceive the good side of life, as the highway of life becomes more rocky.

  3:BELIEF SYSTEMS AND PERSONAL RULES

Just like rules are applied in the running of an organization, personal rules are also necessary at personal level to act as a guide in meeting set objectives. 

In the complex life journey, for one to remain in track, circumstances sometimes demand changes in one's belief systems. This means maintaining and living in full accordance with set principles that works best for you. As you move along, you will have to integrate belief systems that are empowering and drop the limiting ones. 

  4:KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Man for being a thinking creature, has had to live by adapting to changes in his immediate environment. This unique ability has been the main distinction between man and the rest of the animals in the animal kingdom. However this natural exception comes along with burdens and struggles to be overcome, which calls for informed responses in dealing with them. This involves acquiring knowledge in different aspects of life, and seeking the scarce commodity which goes by the name wisdom, which is essential in realizing the gains made from breakthroughs made by humans. Deficiency in it tends to have this developments turn hellish bringing about untold suffering not only to the human population but also man's other counterparts whose life is confined in the jungles.

At individual level, one has to acquire knowledge through learning and wisdom through experience gained from others or own experience. In the words of Cocoa tea, the Jamaican reggae legend, one has to learn a trade or go to school. This is because in the world we live, one to be on the safer side, must pursue legitimate ways in earning of the daily bread. 

   5:PEACE AND HARMONY

Absence of peace is detrimental, as chaotic surroundings derail both common and individual progress. Peaceful coexistence with others is important as some tasks require teamwork and cooperation to make a move. Lack of peace at personal level, creates a void which is filled with fear and anxiety, making one to have a troubled soul. This impacts on focus and concentration, key in making any meaningful progress.
