‘Life doesn’t give us what we want but what we deserve’. Though we
struggle to get the best out of life, some are lucky to actually make it as
fast as possible, and this brought about the five (5) W's of Life. While some make it later in life; some do not even make a
head way at all after all their struggles. A part of the bible says, ‘the race is not unto the swift, nor the
battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise nor riches to men of understanding,
nor favor to men of skill, but time and chance happen to them all’.
While we can’t rule out
grace or luck in all situations, the bitter truth still remains that success
don’t come when we do nothing. You can’t be idle or sit helplessly and expect
things to happen, definitely no, something must give for something; you must be
doing something before something can happen. In this article, we will together
check the 5 W's of life. The most
popular questions in the world, Who,
What, When, Where and Why and
how they are related to life;
Who
We
have only your type; Change for no one
Some so much lack Self-esteem or Self-confidence that they do not for one day believe they could
amount to anything in life. They never see themselves doing anything good or
making others in their environment happy. Their ego has been so damaged that
they see no reason for their existence. Well, we can’t rule out foundation causes, whereby the type of parents that brought them up or the environment
they grew, perhaps they had personal occurrences that destroyed the belief they
have in themselves or abusive circumstances; this might be sound enough to
steal whatever confidence they have.
However,
you don’t go nowhere in life without confidence.
You have got to believe in yourself. We
have only your type in the world and before we could have such again, it has to
be another world. Therefore, believe
in yourself, bend for no one, trust yourself alone, don’t let some people’s
pride or arrogance push you into your shell, you have lived for years without
them and you won’t as well miss their absence when they leave. You can
check 3 questions to develop your mindset and 3 things that must not control you for more knowledge.
What
What
lies ahead will always be there, you only know if the sea is deep when you dive
in
If we have an iota of
what the future holds, we might not have to be scared of tomorrow or we might
just not have to work our ass off all the time. Unfortunately, life is a game, a gamble where you only hope or you are
only optimistic tomorrow will be bright while you work so hard to achieve that.
Whether you believe tomorrow will make sense or not, the key is working hard.
How do you know the water is cold when you are not in there, how will you know
tomorrow is actually bright if you never worked towards it.

The only way you can
put your future into your own hands is to work very hard. Forget it, success
doesn’t come very easy, you have got to fight very hard for it. It might not make sense at the beginning
but it would eventually, it is only your consistency that matters. Check Consistency: Why still water runs deeper
and Sacrifice: What you must lose to win
on how you can achieve this.
When
When
it doesn’t look like what you expected, it gives you a reason to try harder
Some chicken-hearted
people are always scared or wanting to turn back when the journey is getting
harder. Since it is not easy, they think it won’t worth it. The lion works for
its food, therefore, you have to work for what you want.
I was able to still get it, and it boils down to my consistency, hard work, dedication, discipline, sacrifice and grace of God. Always remember where
you are coming from, how far you have gone and how short or how little effort
more could get you that trophy.
Where
Where
you have a lot of choices to make, always make sure you make the one you will
not regret
One of the mistakes we
make in life is that of choices that later leads to regret. Many times we are
faced with so many decisions and we just don’t know the best to take at that
point. The worst thing about this is that, when you take a decision, all other
opportunities at that point leave as they are relative to time. The question
that arises at this point is what the best decision is. Anyway, in life, there is no best decision; all decisions come with a
price. You just have to choose the best way out.
Most times, it is preferable to apply wisdom when
taking decisions; always seek counsel. Your eyes might not be wide enough
to see things from all angles. Just because it is you, you might be sentimental
in taking decisions; this is the best
time to consult God, friends, parents, counselors, mentors, and religious leaders in your decision making. They might just see it from the angle you
refused to see it; their experience might just be enough to make the best
decision. Always remember, the regrets
of today are the results of the decisions of yesterday. Check the article, it couldn't have been my fault.
Why
Why
things go your way or don’t go your way is a mystery you only can unravel, it is
not enough reason to go back
Not all things go our
way and not all things work out as planned. During my undergraduate days, I
coined a quote from one of the lessons I learnt with experience then, ‘Most of the troubles of a man are the ones
he created for himself’. If you truly looked back, you will discover most
of the things you are passing through now is what you caused yourself. Then, people, parents were probably chasing
you to make the best of your time, study your books, be serious with your life
or be obedient to elders but you refuted and now you are paying the price.

You
actually caused what is happening to you. However, it is
better late than never. This is not the best time to murmur or moan, it is not
the best time to complain, get up and fight for what you want. It is better you die trying than not trying
at all. Device again your plans, re-strategize, prepare harder and get ready to
launch into the deep. You will definitely get there if you don’t give up.
We hope you have learnt
one thing or the other. Importance is not in the reading, but in obeying and making use of these in our
daily lives. This is the only thing that guarantees our development.
