LIFE......AS EASY AS A.B.C...

The events of the past few weeks have got me thinking deeply. Things i don't give second thoughts have suddenly become what i think about everyday and trust me,it gives me goose bumps.

Back in the days,when i was young,i never wondered what death meant,after all people who die always wake up one way or the other according to the cartoons i use to watch back then. Growing up gradually made me think beyond my horizons,then i started viewing death as a feat that is only meant for grown ups and very old people. I lost my father at the age of 2,its amazing i never cried or thought deeply about his loss until i grew older and realized that the father figure in my life has been missing all along and he is surely not coming back soon. The tears i have stubbornly refused to shed was forced to roll down my eyes. It got to a point i almost cried every time i heard my friends use the term "dad" or "father" because that word rarely existed in my dictionary.

Things are quite different now,as i grew older,i came to realize that life is not a bed of roses and good things don't last forever have learn t to always make good use of every opportunity that comes my way because the scenario of a second chance may never come or may be too late when it does. I have learn t that this life is not as hard as we take it because at the end of the day,only one thing is certain and that is DEATH. Muslim or christian,young or old,rich or poor,male or female,pastor or imam,president or slave me or you,only death is guaranteed in this life of ours. Its neither negotiable nor bargain-able,weather we like it or not we are all going to die one day or the other and that day nobody knows!

it is funny how events of a month can help reshape and transform one's concept and thinking about life. In the past month,i have lost a grand aunt,a distant uncle,a rapper and a President all in the space of 2weeks,then i thought,maybe life isn't just worth all the troubles i'm giving it. i'm not older than my grand aunt,neither am i younger than the 23 year old rapper that lost his life in a motor accident,but because death has no respect for age it decided to take the lives of these people regardless of how old or how young they can be. I have been involved in a ghastly motor accident far worse than that which took Dagrins life and yet i came out without a scratch on my body. Then i wonder,who is above death?As rich as the Nigerian president is,death did not only take him away,he died slowly in pains before his demise 3 days ago. Now,if death could be so disrespectful for it to have ignored the status,position and caliber of the Nigerian president,then who the hell am i?

i have always been the very shy and laid back type all my life. I hardly speak my mind and i keep a lot of things to myself. I love postponing things and always believe there is always time for everything,but recently,the opposite has been the case for me. I have decided to change my policy about life and see it from a different perspective. According to the words of 9ice,"i have no fear because life is too sudden. Every second,every minute, people are dying, so let me use my time right"(Banky W.Lagos party Remix.The W experience).life is short so i'm going to use my time right. I intend to use every opportunity i have the right way because who knows,i may not be around tomorrow.

Nobody is guaranteed a tomorrow,today is what we have and it is what shapes our tomorrow .The things we do today decides what happens tomorrow so i intend to make good use of my today since tomorrow remains a mystery to me. I know its kinda hard,but i wish i could live everyday like its my last cause i don't have an extra life and there is no part 2 in life. I never liked thinking about death and what happens after,but i have began to think deeply about these things and it scares the hell out of me. There are loads of things i want to achieve in life but its a pity i don't get to decide if i have the time frame to accomplish them. Like my name"JAYEOLA" implies,i intend to enjoy every bit of my life and do so to the fullest but still i now have in mind that behind a "JAYEOLA" is another "JAYEJEJE".life is so simple i need not take things too hard.

The gospel truth is that,if we die,the worst we get are cries from loved ones,touching face-book statuses and candle light from special ones but the fact remains Life continues. One's death,no matter how important the person is will not put an end to the world,after a few cries and mourning,life goes on and everybody moves on. No 1 will cry forever and neither will those cries wake up the dead,what will be left however is the legacy left behind,the lives that were touched and the impact that are felt by people whose life you and i have touched in one way or the other. your wealth,position or good name means so little or less when we leave this world cause we all came with nothing and will surely leave with nothing.

You only live once, time waits for no one, life goes on, you can be gone in a speed of light, money can't buy life, we came with nothing and we go with absolutely nothing, shine your eyes, live your life to the fullest, aye po gon ,aiye o pe meji, live ur life,and always have at the back of your mind that we're all going one day. Word!!

This is my new approach to life because i have come to realize everything comes to an end and that end remains a mystery because we never know when it will come. Today is what we have so it is better to live it without delay or regrets. Either good or bad,nothing last forever and no matter the situation always remember....LIFE GOES ON!
