The major reason why children are regarded as naive is because of their inquisitive nature. A Child can be so inquisitive to a fault, and since they don’t nurse the fear of being considered foolish or stupid, they maximize their right to ask whatever their minds long to understand.
This is solely responsible for the rapid acquisition of knowledge in children.
Almost the reverse is the case as we grow older; we become less curious to always ask why, not really because adulthood is synonymous to being an highland of knowledge but because it is easier to live by assumptions, though the consequences are high.
A native adage explains that “he who asks for direction wouldn’t miss his way” apart that asking questions provides one with vital information, proper personal questioning serve as a medium: for personal check and balance, self assessment and self actualization.
The human life is quite short and if we must maximize our life and potentials genuine, sincere, precise and thought provoking questions must be asked from time to time.
For instance one of the most crucial questions you could ask yourself is what exactly is my purpose here on earth? But the paradox is that this is a question that too many never ask throughout the journey of life.
If a manufacturer manual came out with our placentas, it would have made the search for purpose easier, however, that we came with no manual is no assurance or indication that there isn’t. We only have to connect to ourselves and God the manufacturer to search out the purpose of our existence.
When purpose is lost or hasn’t been discovered abuse is utterly inevitable, the major reason why some people keep feeling frustrated, dejected and depressed to the extent of committing suicide is simply because they haven’t gotten the question of purpose settled from within.
No doubt at all challenges will appear from time to time in the journey of life but we can be rest assured that achieving our purpose will come with benefit that will bring us long lasting joy.
It’s been discovered that more money comes with more bills and higher taxes, more friends comes with more commitments. In short more materials things do not bring the long lasting joy and fulfillment that we really desire, but understanding and working in ones purpose brings eternal joy.
Since we all want to experience joy, happiness and fulfillment the only source of joy and eternal fulfillment comes from the knowing that we are on the right course and that we are making a difference in the life of others with all of our gifts and talents.
God hasn’t given everything to one person but He has given at least one thing to one person. Come to think of it no country has abundance of all the natural resources required to make life easy and very comfortable for her citizens. Everyone has a distinct uniqueness which could add to the progress of humanity.
The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion to help others. If the older generation have done so much to make life more comfortable through positive contribution and creative inventions. We shouldn’t only be beneficiary; we also owe our generation and the next the responsibility of making our own positive impact by making the world better than we met it.
The earlier one gets on the journey of purpose the better, science has proved that once a person is above twenty five years the bones starts getting weaker and brittle and when over thirty years of age you begin to lose thousands of brain cells each day. Little wonder why the bible encourages carrying ones yoke while one is young.
Enough of chasing the air, enough of doing things that we wouldn’t want to recognize with in future, the same energy use in perpetrating social vices like internet fraud, robbery and kidnapping to mention a few could be channeled to more worthy courses that would make the world a better place, thereby bringing long lasting joy, happiness and fulfillment to oneself.
Year by year we are becoming better equipped to accomplish the things we are striving for. But what are we actually striving for? says a French political scientist. As the New Year approaches you should pay more attention to things that you naturally and passionately love doing because if you check deeply you are most likely born to do such things.
