Our worth
The worth of a person is not in his/her physical makeup neither is it in material possession, but in living productively.
When God created man, He created him perfectly, blessed him and commanded him to live productively. Every human being has inherent potential to live a productive life. God gave each one of us that ability. Therefore what your life turn out to be is your own decision and design.
By all standards, there is nothing that demean a man's life than relegating oneself to a begger or leaving your life's worth to be determined by others. Let people know you by your definition.
On the other hand, there is nothing that commands respect than living productively.
Over and above it is the desire of every man to live a good life but that is not enough to attain it. Be productive.
To be productive is to be relevant to yourself, family, community, your country and the world. Be a solution to problems and not the causer.
In conclusion don't beg to survive but by productivity. In many cases those who beg for survival have often been abused.
Do something meaningful with your life. No one wants to associate themselves with a failure.
Question:
what are you doing with your life? We have done half of 2020. What meaningful thing have you achieved? This is food for thought.
