What Will My Life Count For?

This is a question I believe everybody should be asking as we begin the year 2009, and hopefully for as long as we live. It is never too early or late to start asking thIs question, making wise decisions , efforts and finding ways to make our lives count.
Why is this important? Well, the alternative would be an existence void of meaning and utterly senseless. knowing we are here for a short time, we should be very careful how we spend our waking hours and how we treat other people.

I believe life should have significance and purpose. To truly make your life count, you have to find what that purpose is and fulfill it.
When it comes to this, people have diverse opinions because of various beliefs or lack thereof. The world and the people in it, is very interesting and dynamic . As we grow older, our values, opinions and encounters with others shape our thinking , actions and eventually directs us to or derails us from all we are meant to be.


Natural gifting and talents are indicators of what we are supposed to be doing in life, but this does not disclose the whole purpose or reason for our existence.
I find that the bible has the answers to all these questions. And it is left to us to search for the truth in it and apply it to our lives.
Maybe you are at a point right now where you just don't care , or too stressed to think or do anything about it. It may be, that you have found your purpose and already know how to make your life count.
Regardless of where you are in life , I invite you to join me as I answer or attempt to answer this question, You are welcome to leave viable comments and even suggest topics for subsequent articles in my blog.

Events of the past months has made me come to terms with my mortality as a human being and this has totally changed my outlook on life. So I started asking myself; what will my life count for? How do I want to be remembered? What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind for my children?


This blog to me is more than a forum of personal freedom because I love to write, it is a way to dawn significance and hopefully reach out to others who are on the same path, in discovering the purpose of life and have a burning desire to make their life count.
A forum for thought provoking questions intended to make people think, find answers and hopefully re-evaluate the way we all live our lives.
Questions like;

"At the end of your life, what do you want to have achieved? how will you
evaluate how worthwhile your time has been? Do you think you will be satisfied?
In what way do you want your life to be successful? How do you define 'success' and how do you accomplish it?
Culled from, making your life count a formula for spiritual success.

And to these questions I would like to add, do you know for certain if there is a heaven or hell? This particular question is very vital because, if there is a hell I am sure nobody would want to go there especially when it is for eternity. In my subsequent articles I write on topics that affects our everyday life as it relates to these questions and so much more.


In conclusion , 2 timothy4:6 explains what the chief end of man is. How we can glorify Him now and enjoy Him forever.
