What side are you, on the side of angels or beast?

Many times we find ourselves going through life like a piece of paper in the wind; blown in directionless manner. It is important we journey through life with clearly outlined direction. This direction includes your purposes, plans and visions. You are on earth for a purpose, you know! It is important you belong to one side; the side of the beast or that of the angels. The side of the beast includes following life as it comes without aims, plans and purposes. It leads to a filling of disappointment, failure and frustration. But, being on the side of the angels involve developing clearly defined life targets, visions, plans and purposes for life. It gives a filling of fulfillment, satisfaction and long term joy.

Regrettably, many youths today don't know the reason for their existence, they don't have a particular stand. Some don't even know what they want to become in life, neither do they know where the things they are doing or studying will lead them. They do it probably because a friend they dearly cherish is doing it. They approach life in a lackadaisical manner, tossed about in no specific manner. Be yourself! Don't imitate others because what worked for them might not work for you!!  He that is on the side of the angels is hardly moved by peer pressure, life circumstances and challenges because he knows that there is no crown without a cross.

We need to clearly define our direction in life based on our visions and life targets to avoid being blown away by the wind of life and tossed about helplessly in the vicissitudes of life. To do this, we need to set life targets for years ahead. And, the strength of our purposes can determine how effectively we can overcome the vicissitudes of life and become a legend. Another reason why we need to define our purposes and aims is that there are people who are linked to your success and this people will be lured to you through your plans and purposes; and they will help you accomplish it quicker. It will also enable you identify with those who have similar plans and purposes; and help them achieve theirs or form a partnership for the common good of all involved.

I want to charge you to set your life targets today and clearly define where you are going, and what difference you hope to make in life.
