Enjoy the people in your life

Enjoy the people in your life 

It is easy to see the people in your life as burden, especially when they seem to be discomforting to you. Your parents, siblings, or friends may appear to always get you annoyed, when they disagree with you or do things you don't like. Things like these often makes us think and sometimes behave as if we don't need them in our life. Sometimes we even feel like running away from them.

However, if only we could think from the other sides of life; a day is coming when we would love to have these people around us but it would be impossible. They would either be far away or being taken away from us into eternity. This kind of thought would help us to start enjoying the people in our life rather than enduring them.

For instance, there was time that I was always with my brother in our hometown. We would sleep in the same room, wake up, and go to farm together. He would carry me on the backseat of his motorbike as he rides to farm everyday. We would come back home together, eat lunch and take dinner, and we would go to bed in the dame room. We saw each other and did things together daily. But now, I am here in the US, while my brother is in hometown in Nigeria, thousands of mile away from me.

Another way to think about the people in our life is that is a privilege to have them. Many people don't even have anybody around them. They care to have parents or siblings to disturb them but hey do not have. Your parents or siblings may  seem to always get you annoying, but the truth is that if you lose them, you would miss them. Many people (like me) do not have any parent that can get them annoy. They do not have that person that would always lookout for them. Like your parents, who would always caution you, many people do not have any parent to guide their actions. So it is a privilege to have the persons you have in your life. Take time to enjoy them rather than seeing them as a burden. Enjoy the people in your life now when you still have them. This is good for your relational success in life

Your location determines your allocation.

Your location determines your allocation. 

Your location is where you are found in a given time. This may be the place you live; where you like to hang around; or spend most of your time. Also, your allocation is something that happens to you in your location. The point of the statement is that most things that happen in your life is because of your location, the place where you live or spend most your time. In most cases, if you can change your location, your experience would also change. To further explain this,  I will use this illustration; for instance, when it is raining, you can either stay inside the rain and become drenched, or hide away from the rain inside a shelter or any safe place and stay dry. The two different locations would have different effects on you.

In the same way, in real life, if you put yourself in wrong place, wrong things would happen to you and when you keep yourself in the right place, right things would happen in your life. For instance, if you move around with bad gangs, spend most of the night at night clubs, or  dangerous places, the probability that you would get hurt would be high compared to when you live a quiet and simple life. A quiet and simple life will keep you out of trouble but a troublesome and unrestricted movement would get you into it.

Also, if you spend your time in places like library, church, school, workshops or some other good places, the likelihood of you having a good experience would increase. Because of the kinds of people you will find in such places, you would not be exposed to bad experience. You might even meet people that would add value to you or expose you to good opportunities.

Your location determines your allocation. To regulate your allocation, you must regulate your location.
