Nothing is Permanent In This World
I have seen a lot more things.
How yesterday became the day before, how today became yesterday, and how tomorrow became today.
How the past became history, how the present became the past, and how the future became the present.
Nothing ever remains where it is.
Your strength, your muscles, your beauty, your wealth, your guts, your worth, your courage, your talent, your YOU, will progressively diminish until it returns to its source.
The richest man in the world in the 1960s will not be on the payroll of the richest man in the world today!
Even the strongest lion in the jungle will someday become weak, and frail and be eaten by the same predators it once terrorized.
Keep that in mind always and know that no matter how appealing and tempting that thing may seem, our interest in it will diminish with time.
Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!

Nothing is Permanent In This World
I visited my 120-year-old grandmother and gave her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again.
That she can no longer buy or sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it.
I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a greenhorn PA. He was governor from 1999-2007.
Not too long ago, I saw him.
After check-in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight.
No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from the State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said,
"Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my daughter . Sit down let me ask you something.
How is your Governor doing?"
I also have a retired Major General friend whom I served as a golf caddy at the NDA golf course in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna.
He was so rich he built a beautiful house he was so proud of.
I visited him too not long ago and wanted us to climb to our favorite spot on his balcony upstairs.
He stared at me with a broad smile and said, "IT, I can't remember the year I went up there. It is lizards and cobwebs and the likes that live there now.
Even the kids, when they come, they don't enjoy my company in the house any more than a few hours and they are gone.
I don't have the limbs to climb up there again and the cost of cleaning keeps getting higher."
I have seen a lot more things.

You're absolutely right on this..

The conquering kings of ancient history, are no more today..
Only if we knew that whatever we drag for today, won't matter again tomorrow (especially after our demise), then no one would tell us to make appropriate adjustments..
They ask you where you will be in the next 5/10/20/50 years, and you give a reasonable answer. Good right ??

Nice one OP.
1. Nothing in life is permanent. Life today, death, tomorrow.
Sadness in the evening, joy in the morning. Chaos and peace are wrestling and seeking balance in the land and hearts of men.
One moment things are stable, and the next few seconds there's an emergency, running helter-skelter.
2. Once you know this about life, you begin/automatically deactivate yourself from this race.
Will this be permanent? No. You want to feel the good of life and enjoy as much as you can or even want to depend on your capacity.
3. We cry because we don't have. And when we have, we don't know what to do with the excesses.
4. Life is enjoyed if our foundation is built on solid spiritual grounds- love, kindness, humility, empathy, integrity, competence, bravery, courage, faith, confidence, and hope. These are the bond that holds us firms in both tough and good times. They remained congealed.
5. But humans. We are far too myopic. We seek pleasures, money, status, and power, neglecting the most important things. This is the reason people hardly relate with you after your tenure of power and glory. The relationship was built on a quagmire, a superficial ground with shallow depths.
6. Like I said in 2 above, you'll automatically unplug yourself from this race as you draw to this conclusion about life and the behavior of men. Though men were meant to enjoy the earth in love and harmony. But the desires of our hearts have turned our dreamed paradise into the dwellings of satan and demons.
7. The pursuit of materialism and other things associated with it are the first temporary things of life. They wear off quickly.
Immaterial things like bringing joy and hope to people, and helping one another are what make life sweet and enjoyable albeit jeopardize by our lusts and greed.
Nothing in life is permanent. But things of higher quality will remain firm and stand strong at the test of time.

Realistically, only few humans are smart, the rest are just ignorant or dumb. The few smarts take life as it is, they realise human only need food, shelter and sex, and they enjoy peace of mind and good health. These particular set of humans are many in advance Western countries.
We are all ignorantly working all our lives for other thinking we are accumulating wealth for future. Your houses, cars, money in accounts are all for others the moment you say goodbye to this wicked world.
I don't blame anyone accumulating wealth because, in this part of the world where there is no single social program for the children and the ages, one need to plan his future very well. This is the secrete of advance countries that dumb Africans fail to realise. Every citizen irrespective of his/her social or financial status much have access to abundance quality food. Children and ages much be well take care of.
It is a simple logic, why would I steal money or accumulate wealth when I know that government will take care of me at old age. Why would I accumulate money for my children when I know government will take care of them till they start working on their own? Sage. You have just spoken the hidden truth.

Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!

Wow!
God is definitely speaking to the world.
The same instructions the voice of God spoke when I was praying this morning.
God is indeed and definitely passing a message.
Praise God!! 8 Likes 1 Share |

IyaTola:
Nothing is Permanent In This World
I visited my 120-year-old grandmother and gave her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again.
That she can no longer buy or sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it.
I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a greenhorn PA. He was governor from 1999-2007.
Not too long ago, I saw him.
After check-in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight.
No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from the State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said,
"Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my daughter . Sit down let me ask you something.
How is your Governor doing?"
I also have a retired Major General friend whom I served as a golf caddy at the NDA golf course in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna.
He was so rich he built a beautiful house he was so proud of.
I visited him too not long ago and wanted us to climb to our favorite spot on his balcony upstairs.
He stared at me with a broad smile and said, "IT, I can't remember the year I went up there. It is lizards and cobwebs and the likes that live there now.
Even the kids, when they come, they don't enjoy my company in the house any more than a few hours and they are gone.
I don't have the limbs to climb up there again and the cost of cleaning keeps getting higher."
I have seen a lot more things.
How yesterday became the day before, how today became yesterday, and how tomorrow became today.
How the past became history, how the present became the past, and how the future became the present.
Nothing ever remains where it is.
Your strength, your muscles, your beauty, your wealth, your guts, your worth, your courage, your talent, your YOU, will progressively diminish until it returns to its source.
The richest man in the world in the 1960s will not be on the payroll of the richest man in the world today!
Even the strongest lion in the jungle will someday become weak, and frail and be eaten by the same predators it once terrorized.
Keep that in mind always and know that no matter how appealing and tempting that thing may seem, our interest in it will diminish with time.
Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!
