Keep It Simple, It’s Life
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is simple, it’s actually us who complicate everything because tell me why I sometimes wake up and create problems for myself just to solve it all by myself again.😂
I can tell you for a fact that life is not easy. As we grow, we come to face reality and that’s when we realize that there’s more to life than what we actually knew. As kids, we would always hear people complain about this and that and we who had little to nothing to worry about would just sit there in ignorance.
Growing up, I’ve come to learn so many things which have changed my life and way of thinking. I’ve learnt from every one of my mistakes, taken good advice from people and also worked to improve myself on a personal level. Today, a friend said something which stuck with me and I really felt it. She said ‘be so good at what you do that no one can reject you’. There are many things I’d like to share with you but the first of the list is NEVER STOP LEARNING. Truth is, you never stop learning because life itself is a school. The moment you stop learning, I’d assume you think life is not worth living anymore.
I will keep saying this over and over again until we all come to terms with it. No one owes you and you also don’t owe anyone in this life. Why do I say this? Looking at our world today, we see how people tend to be entitled over things they don’t even deserve. Once I had an encounter with one lady where she acted like I owed her something because of what she had done for a group of people in the past. She even had the nerve to ask me if those people were important to me and why wouldn’t I choose her over them. I was so pissed because I just couldn’t believe she had so much audacity to say this to me. I just told her no one owes her anything and if she does things for people because she expects something in return then it’s best she quits doing them at all. No one owes you in life, stop being entitled. You don’t owe anyone, don’t allow anyone pressure you because of what they’ve done for you in the past.
Finally, i’d love to tell you to live for yourself. Most of us have lived in the shadows of others all our life and now we don’t even know who we are. Our whole life has been dictated by others to the extent that we can’t do anything good for ourselves. Put a stop to that today. Live your own life the way you want to. Do all the crazy stuff you wish to do, work towards those goals, learn from your mistakes and keep going because it is only when you live life your own way that you feel fulfilled. You wouldn’t want to look back 15 years later only to realize you wasted your life away just for another person. Just do you and know that everyone is replaceable so always put yourself first!
All images belong to me.
Just do you and put your self first
Don't spend time doing the unnecessary
Thanks for this
You’ve just said it all. Don’t spend time doing the unnecessary and trying to please others.
There's a saying we usually say in school...
The advice to keep learning can never be overemphasized
Anyone who can’t learn, unlearn and relearn needs to look at his life again and make some changes because life is about learning and that’s the only way we can grow as individuals.
Yeah right
Learning never ends, even one’s last minutes on earth can teach him so many things that he didn’t know.
Being a second-rated version of someone is a waste of time.
Thanks for sharing 🤗
Second-rated version sounds like a nice term.😂 sadly, that’s the reality of most people.
Whoever she was she had the audacity
Did you ask her where she bought that audacity?
Because I heard now it’s really cheap in the market
For her to think you owe her for something she did for group of people in the past. Ah what is this again 😂😂😂
Also, I’ve lived in the shawdows of someone i used to call bestie.
Girl i had to free myself and live my life
See how I’m glowing omo!
She needs some sense pumped into her head and maybe some lashes.😂😂
Bestie bestie saa then they’re taking your shine away.
You know right
Yes! Life itself is a school. Every day comes with something new which is either positive or negative. All brings us new acquisitions. Thanks for sharing
I totally agree with you. The more we learn, the more we grow.
I honestly don’t agree with the “life purpose isn’t about being happy” cause if I don’t wake up happy I’m not useful to anyone, but yeah true you owe nothing to anyone
Whether we are happy or not, life still goes on so it’s best we live for ourselves and make ourselves happy.
Thank you.
At times the best solution to a problem is to choose your self. At first it’s not easy because you might not be that type of person but at the end of the day you should be there for your own self.
I don’t subscribe to the idea that life is simple actually. From a certain age you realise that you can die at anytime with so many unaccomplished dreams and that itself is a life lesson on its own.
I say, live life with less expectations. Always expect the worse to happen or never see the good in a certain situation too fast. It’s life we are living, take time to navigate.
As we think of the positive, we should also consider the negatives. Most people don’t pay attention to this and that’s why they’re found wanting when problems arise.
You made a good point.🫡
Hermosa fotografía saludos amiga.
muchas gracias
Life is full of so many opportunities and beauties and trying to be someone else or live like them, will only make life hard.
Just live your life doing 😉 the things that you love the most and just live for you because you're all you have
Well said, living your life your own way is the best you can do for yourself.
Your wise and there was a saying its important to get wise before yu get old(:
I can tell you I never lived my life to my potential, I just survived and had no ambition. There are several complicated reasons for this, but one is I never had self confidence, I always got abandoned by all people.
Family keeps me because like you said its their duty and I could not do anything or had interest to do anything…
All my school life I was raged and everyone says “your always alone”
I was always scared and fearful also because of being girl and world is unsafe for girls and women and my parents are over protective.
Well… I don’t regret much or anything… shrugs!!
I would never have the courage to do what I am meant to do…because I felt powerless and was…
Also I don’t understand money somehow, how important it is, and never could earn much…
So, yeah, from my perspective life has been difficult, there was instances I can’t do things that others do so easily, I take time… I always struggle and always lost…and went…
Now, I paid prize for all that, when I know my family too several times think I am useless, incapable, weak, failiur, loner and what not… and I was told in my place they rather have died… and several things.
But it don’t matter… so I am happy alone actually, and don’t relate to people on a personal level.
Anyway, wise things… yes, keep learning and growing, do new things, it reals changes things and generates excitement.
And you will be strong to face life’s troubles, by yourself without compromising on yourself, living with self esteem, dignity and love to enjoy movements in life, weather others life you, respect you or not.
But in our culture, you adjust or bear toxicity, because we don’t have the courage to face society, or be alone, or are insecured to be independent.
Ok ma… goodday!!
I totally get you. You’ve been through a lot and no one should go through this alone.
I can tell you it gets better with time. Be confident in yourself and go for it. When you win, all those who were running away from you will now come back trying to impress you.
I wish you all the best. ❤️❤️

Live for yourself..., fact. It's life, it's for living. So we keep it simple and live it!!!
Well said 👏
Honestly if you don't live for yourself, if you keep on imitating people or doing good with something in mind you will get tired because you will mess up your life.
Like you said we just have to keep learning.
People just try to impress others and it’s not really worth it at the end of the day.
Be so good at what you do that no one can reject you., this is a fact of life
I agree with you.
Everything else, I agree but then this 🤔
Why shouldn't life encompass happiness?
Truthfully, the earlier you realise in life that no one owes you sh*t, the better and easier life gets with you because only then can you face the reality and lift yourself
Lovely post
No one owes anyone anything in their life. The least we can do is to appreciate the people who are always there with us through thick and thin.
Thanks for passing by.
You're welcome
The last point is one of the hardest. Especially when you are trying to prove a point. You end up feeling lost even after proving that point
You even feel worse at the end of the day because after doing all of this, you still won’t feel fulfilled.
