THE GREATEST FAN OF LIFE

".....
I'LL BE BETTER WHEN I'M OLDER..
I'LL BE THE GREATEST FAN OF YOUR LIFE
....."

Song: "I'LL BE"
Sang by Edwin McCain


The rest of the song is nice; an old love song of long ago. But I like best that part there quoted above. I'm going to twist it a wee bit like this.......

"I will be the greatest fan of Life".

The greatest thing you can do in your life time or with your life is to be better. Usually to us people it comes round when we have gathered quite a good number of years which comes much later in life. With age comes wisdom and maturity as the saying goes. Well, because that's how long or how slow we learn.... slow learners that we are.

When life sends us lessons, we don't get it the first time almost always. Often we need to go over the same lesson again and again and again. And this often exasperates us. But hold on, be patient with the lesson.. with self. Even if sometimes almost all of our lives go down until we realize that ... yeah, I get it now! Finally.. !!

To be or become better involves all that you are mind body and soul. You don't do it halfheartedly nor simply by cruising down through the journey. It can't be an involvement so trivial.. superficial.. skin-deep... flickering.. akin to a shooting star here one minute and gone the next. You can't dip a hesitant finger into the pot of life to taste or to test it. Do that and you'll run out of time. That's not what is being asked of you... of us. Nope, what you do is jump into life like fish jumps into the water knowing that it can and will swim. And indeed it can and will swim!

The aim is to become better; not to waste this life on the non-essentials that do not contribute to that end. The earlier you begin the learning, the better for you. And don't worry cos, like fish, we can and will swim! That's how God made us.

Be a better or rather the best human being you can ever be. Every step in that direction is a worthy song of praise to our Creator. That makes God smile.

Be blessed and stay blessed.

    "Be a better or rather the best human being you can ever be. Every step in that direction is a worthy song of praise to our Creator. That makes God smile." is the essence of the post. Life is a constant striving to be a better person and to lead a purposeful life for which we are created firm in belief that God is behind us. A very nice post.

    Ellen,

    Very motivating at not only becoming better at what you do but at being better human too.

    Take care
