You are probably aware of the rate
of suicide around the world today? Have you ever wondered why people take their
own lives? Reports on some suicide cases across the world borders show that the
following are among the reasons for this tragic act: frustration, heartbreak,
threat, pain, poverty, protest etc. Now, each time you hear or read about
suicide incidents, do you blame the victims for what they have done or
empathize with them? The truth is no one is justified well enough to take his
own life. The most tragic fact about suicide is that people between the 18-40
demography suffer the tragedy most.
The emerging truth about suicide
victims or those who subject themselves to below-human life as a result of the
aforementioned reasons have one thing in common; they all lost faith in their
lives. Any man who must live above the vicissitudes of life must be on the
purpose-driven lane. Purpose gives us vision, passion, energy, hope, perseverance
and faith for life.
Your life never starts at birth, it starts when you
discover a reason to live for, whose drive and passion overwhelm the force of
any unpleasant circumstance that pushes towards giving up on life. No matter
how complicated you find life, you must convince yourself that there is an
ultimate ground for you, which hands you a right to life. If you have come
through sicknesses, accidents, epidemics, and many other circumstances that
could have ended your life, it only implies that you are an asset to this world.
Remember, if you faint in the days of
adversity your strength is weak.
REFLECTION POINT:
Purpose is the mission that makes
life worth living. Does what you do now or where you are now give you the
feeling of worthiness? If no, there are chances you are not living out your
purpose or you have not discovered it.
TASK:
Spend some time today thinking
to find out those things you do or want to do that leave you with a feeling of
worthiness. These may be pointers to your destination.

One of the major discoveries you can make in life is the discovery of self. Nothing can replace it. -
