What we do with our lives is what really matters. How we choose to live, the decisions we make, the relationships that we create and the bonds that we form.
An eternal battle wages on, whether from within or from outside, it is constantly there. So whether we win this battle or not , is not so important as how we choose to fight this battle. Sometimes in life, it is only when we lose, that we understand what victory really is.
Because it is in losing that we are humbled, in losing we are brought down to our feet and in losing that we become human again. It has been said, "What if a man were to gain the world,but lose his immortal soul".
Everyday, thousands sacrifice their human nature for power, for lust, for position, for greed. They do this, thinking they have won, thinking that they have moved up in society and thinking that they have achieved. You know what, they have lost, lost miserably.
Anytime in the passage of life, when you lose your humanity, the very thing which makes you human, you have lost.
When you choose, choose wisely; am I doing something for the power and status I will get or am I doing something to help others. Am I getting into a relationship out of lust or is it because I truly care for that person. When you give, do you give unconditionally with no strings attached.
The battle continues, war wages on.
To win the war, you always need to put others first, always find ways to serve, to help, to find greater meaning and purpose in what you do and to dance to the beat of a higher calling.
