Money, Education, Spouse, Children ,House ?


Often I have heard a discussion about lady being late to get married. When exactly is the right time to be married and have kids? Is there really a right time to have a spouse or bear children? No-one is an exception, more so in the African setting. Truth be said there are those who got married and years on they are still trying to get a baby. At the same time there are those that are married with children who desire that house and car a single person owns. There is a jobless person wishing they could get money to feed their family. While there is a working person bored of eating alone each night.

The reality is all these things are earthly treasures. Be it a job, house, spouse, children....None of these things we are after in life we'll carry to the next life. In fact even the body we are so watchful of will be buried. The soul is the only thing that will go to the next life. However much we cling to the earthly pleasures they are just that ,earthly treasures.We need to realise that we were made a complete person through the soul.The body is just a house for the soul. Each of us desire to be happy and live in peace. Trying to find happiness in the earthly things is like trying to mix water and oil. Its about time we realised we are complete individuals and avoid postponing our happiness till this and that happens. Failure to which; we will forever be empty.

This is what should ring in our minds each time. With or without a spouse i am complete. With or without a house i am complete. With or without education i am complete. With or without the "normal "physical appearance i am complete. It is not my hands that complete me nor my job nor my gender. I was born complete and i should henceforth live and feel complete in every sense. 

Lets quit loving things or people with so much attachment because this often leads to living a miserable life. Those things are there to be used while here on earth but none of them will be carried forward when the soul departs from the body. Lets instead strive to purify our soul. I am not saying stop working hard for your family. I am saying don't put so much emphasis on worldly things and forget the person that really matters in all this . You not the body but the Soul. We can lie to everything even the body but never the soul. 

Those are my thought. Hope they made sense to you.
