Whatever has a beginning must have an end, even life itself comes to an end, and so does every endeavour in life. Today we focus on your office, your career or business; what happens when it is over?
It is unfortunate that often we do not plan our lives to the finish, hence we sometimes lead careless lives because we do not remember it shall be over someday. Imagine how reckless and arrogant some soldiers, lecturers, medical personnel, policemen, politicians, civil servants, business people, social media users, students, those in relationships, even some of us Priests, are. Do we even pause to think that nothing lasts forever? That someday the power or position that is intoxicating us shall be over, and we shall live the rest of our lives recounting and bearing the consequences of all we have done, undone,.or failed to do? Will you have peace of mind and freedom when it is over? For those who cheat on their spouses and beat their wives, when this phase that you have strength and the urge will be over, what happens to you? Will you still be jumping about or you will resign yourself to being taken care of by the same woman you have so ill treated?
Finally, what hobby or occupation do you plan to retire to when it is over? Or you intend to just eat, sleep, wake, rinse and repeat, then wait for death? Is retirement from your job or active service a death sentence? That can only be so when we do not plan for when it shall be over, as it must. So I ask again, what shall you go doing when it is over?
Peace be with you!
