pixabayYesterday I saw a picture quote on instagram that reads thus:
Five things you cannot recover in life:
- A stone after the throw.
- The word after it’s said.
- An occasion after it’s missed.
- Time after it’s gone.
- Trust after it’s gone.
These are excellent tip which we all need to deliberate on and consider doing. Time and season they say, waits for no man therefore, every one of our actions should be accounted for. Life is an unending cycle, whatever positivity you have today can become a negative one tomorrow. With age comes growth in knowledge and understanding, so daily
• A stone/Word after it's thrown and said : We sometimes tend to scream out our feelings or thoughts as they come, and this can lead to expressing ourselves without considering the impacts of our words and how hurtful it might be. Let us learn to keep some thoughts to ourselves when hurt or angry. Practice this act and at the long run it will yield a better result. Our thoughts have so much power over us, it is better we learn to use this power wisely.
But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.– James 1:19
• An occasion after it's missed : How we live our lives and our impacts in other people’s lives are what really count. Sometimes we don’t let people know how much they have positively touched our lives. We get carried away with life’s activities and forget them, by the time we realize this, it might be too late. Take some time off to check on your loved ones, show your love to them while they are here to appreciate it. Spend quality time with them while they are alive so that you will have memories of them when they are no more.
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.–Wayne Dyer
• Time after it’s gone: One of the most important thing we cannot get back in life is time. Utilize your time wisely and your time will invest well in you. Let your time be of value to you and others. Create time for occasions you don’t want to miss.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.―Mother Theresa
• Trust after it’s lost : Trust when broken can be damaging because you lose your credibility and reputation. Be careful in your dealings, trust is a very important part of life, once lost it can never be regained. Be sincere in all you do because once your trust is broken, it will be difficult to repair.
Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.-Unknown
In conclusion, always consider your words and be slow to actions. Time and trust are man’s guide to a good life.
