Use It Or Lose It

It seems very difficult to always see the value in what we have until we lose it. It only becomes clear that what we used to have was a privilege we should have greatly admired, but we only come to the realization only when it is gone. And at that point, all we have left is regret, regret and regret. It is easy to get used to what we have as the baseline where what we have is what someone elsewhere is seeking to have a fulfilled life.

No matter what you have, use it now or you might lose the privilege of using it tomorrow. No one knows tomorrow you know. You see so many old people wishing they used their youth days well and you see youths spending all the time they have as if they were promised forever. People act as if they have more in store to use tomorrow. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, so use whatever it is that you have today wisely.

But understand that this does not mean you should give in to mediocrity and accept whatever stage or situation you are in as the final situation. You should appreciate whatever little job you have because someone out there can only wish for what you have right now, but that should not make you accept this job as your final position in life. Understand that the bottom is more crowded and you can do better moving ahead. In the context of use it or lose it, it means to appreciate whatever opportunity you have today and to make the best of it because what you have, others can only dream of it.

Consider the gift of the good health that you have today or the gift of the internet you have to access this content, it might seem like a basic right to you, but to other people, it is an opportunity they would never experience. So use whatever you have today wisely because you never know when it would be taken away from you. And understand that when God keeps something away from you, it is to make you a better version of whatever you think you can be.

Know that whatever God has in plan is from the best of planners and rather than sit and complain, give in all that you have, appreciate all the little things that you have. The gift of life is what every dead man would give all they have to achieve and you have that right now, and ask yourself what are you doing with it. Are you simply losing every second of your day or are you using it? Ask yourself that question everyday until you understand that everything that we have, every situation that we experience is an opportunity. So we better use it or we would lose it.

Change your mindset and belief and understand that whatever happens is from the best of writers. And if you patiently learn and understand what is happening, you would have utilized the opportunity you had. As you start your day today, understand that whatever happens is an opportunity, you have to use it or lose it. The world is a beautiful place if we never give in on what is really really important. Using whatever we have or wait to lose it. The choice is ours and we can make the world a better place with the decisions that we make.

Thanks and God bless.
