THINGS THAT MATTERS IN LIFE.

It is well said that "there is no free lunch in Freetown," but freedom is not valued enough in life, God is abused
Apostle Sam Diko

GOOD HEALTH

It is said "Health is Wealth"
Good health is a great wealth to individuals and nations to prosper in everything. Good health allows us to pursue our life goals and accomplished our daily tasks. It is only those who are healthy get wealthy. Both body and spirit need to be in good condition to conquer, we strive with strength from our inner mind to be successful even when the body is weak. The spirit we have gives us hope and strength in the bones and other parts of the body to carry other people's burdens.

Sickness- while we live freely as doves of the air and God provides for us in good health our daily bread even for the rainy days many people do value not the gift of life that comes from God. We live like we owe no one an explanation of the air we breath, the life we live. SICKNESS is a reminder that God exists, for it brings the body, spirit, and mind together to be questioned about its creator, what we ought to achieve but did not, who we have offended and need to say sorry, thinking of life after death, what to do after the illness and appreciating God for the gift of life, not the government.
The body, spirit, and mind come to an agreement when we are sick to live for another reason or to die for the reason of pain.

RICHES

Money is the answer to all things at all times, money gives meaning to life and reason to fulfill vision and live as a free man in my neighborhood 🤣. Money makes you fulfill your desires and goals quickly without much stress. People desire to be wealthy on earth only but some desire riches both on earth and eternal.

Two Types of Freedom

Constitutional freedom- This freedom applies to every good citizen of that country and for foreigners, there are basic rights limited for them. The Nigerian constitution allows freedom to vote(18 years and above) and be voted for(25 years and above) but a foreigner is limited to that right until he is given a certificate of citizenship. The constitution is what guide a country and is the pillar of every by-law.
Money freedom- Truth be told we know that money is the superpower, not the weapons. Money is the majority and for the same reason every healthy soul is on a treasure hunt and some even in their dreams they are making money for ten(10years) to come already. Permit me to say "Money surpasses constitution" in 90% of the countries because of bribery and corruption including "China". Money brings power and authority and authority brings more wealth, most countries have different aspects of collecting bribes and much corruption as some may be through the country borders, politics, marketing, military, and ...? What bribery is more noticeable in your country?

Poor- You don't appreciate a good thing until you lose it. Being poor is the worst disease of life and has a great effect on the brain and body. It tells you "You can never make it again" It is an articulated spirit of stories, and weakness but your true spirit pushes you out only when you decide to listen to it. If you heard money and later find yourself in a devastating state where you lack money. Your thoughts towards money will change and you will do better when you recover what you lost
This state of wants helps you check where you misused funds, what were your initial plans, what strategies to help minimize lost and increase profits, and how to implement them.

PEOPLE

There is value in people.
People will give you a good reason to be alive, the strength to grow, and a new life you hope for now and in the future. It's either you're working for someone or somebody is working for you, let me emphasize on a daily market a trader who hawks fish to her customers with a good approach and manners, He/she will sell a lot. He/she will be valued as not just a customer but a friend and the person can be given help beyond customer relationship.

People you work with in offices, those around your neighborhood, and people of the nation help during an election to determine a credible leadership, when you're ill they will be there for you, and when you need support to succeed.

Pride of Life- Experience is the best teacher. We learned mostly from our mistakes, eventually, if pride occupied your heart because you heard wealth or occupied a position in government but now you have to fall back to the people you forsake that you saw no value in them. We must learn that there is no greater wealth aside from investing in humans because everything we are enjoying now is the effort of humans to adorn the earth to look very beautiful. This is where learning starts from as just the way some forsake God when enjoying their lifestyle but seek his face when they are in trouble to help out. Learning from our mistakes is not as important as learning from others' mistakes but life will cost you everything to be somebody, everything is important and needs your attention.
The first place to invest in should be humans because they have every idea you need to succeed

DEATH

Life is sweeter as death becomes the end tunnel and it reminds us of time and season: a time to laugh and mourn, a time to be born, and a time to die. People pass on every day but we have newborn babies too. Death matters a lot as life itself, friends, and family who have passed on give meaning to our life that nothing good or bad last forever.

The graveyard is a good place to visit and here is the importance of it.

Reminds you that you're alive
Awakes your hope and vision
Reminds you to do good as God demands
It reminds you of the good teachings and love of the bereaved
Reminds you that you will equally be like them with your name boldly written on it
To be cautious of life desires.
The Graveyard says "I will await you here or there, I have enough space for you."

Summary,

Sickness reminds you of your creator and the gift of good health you enjoyed.
Poor state reminds you who you were supposed to help out and what you should do with your money when you are recovering
Fall of man(pride goes before fall) reminds you nothing last forever and to be humble when you have everything to live happily.

Note: appreciate good health, riches and invest in people. Freedom makes meaning even in shackles if God is involved. Death awakes us from slumber to live right.
