Existentialism
Is the philosophical and cultural movement which holds that the starting point of philosophical thinking must be the experiences of the individual. Moral and scientific thinking together do not suffice to understand human
existence,
so a further set of categories, governed by a norm[clarification
needed] of "authenticity", is necessary to understand human
existence.("Authenticity", in the context of existentialism, is being
true to one's own personality, spirit or character.)
A central proposition of existentialism is that existence precedes essence, which means that the most important consideration for the individual is the fact that he or she is an individual—an independently acting and responsible conscious being ("existence")—rather than what labels, roles, stereotypes, definitions, or other preconceived categories the individual fits ("essence"). The actual life of the individual is what constitutes what could be called his or her "true essence" instead of there being an arbitrarily attributed essence used by others to define him or her. Thus, human beings, through their own consciousness, create their own values and determine a meaning to their life.

Love!
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart, with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.” This is the
commandment of the great God, and he cannot command the impossible.
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love
through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense
inner life.

Positivity !
You ought to always view life on a positive
side, not on a negative side, the more people hate you, the more they
increase your chance of succeeding, if everybody like you, you won't go
far in life, if Joseph was not hated by his brother's, he won't have
become the prime minister of Egypt.
If you are an orphan, be more happy, just know that you have more chance of becoming someone great in future, God never neglects the orphans, he's the God of the fatherless and motherless
Always see positivity in every bad situation, every great men/women has faced so many challenges and adversaries before they found their way to the top, quitter's never win and winner's never quit. If you faint in the days of adversity, your strength is small
See you conquering and breaking forth in every areas of your life
Like and comment, if you were blessed by this message.

Hold on, Dont give up!
Everybody on earth is created to be different and make a difference, God created everyone with a destiny and a specific time for he/she to achieve it, when you are in a haste to reach your glorious destiny, you will miss what God has for you, i believe God work's with time, and he's never too late, some people miss what God has in store for them, because they lack patient and faith, they believe t
hat
God is delaying them. So many people have soil their hands in something
bad because they don't believe in God's time, God has never forsaken
his Children, and he will never forsake you. Wait on him, thou it may
tarry, bet it worth the wait, thou it may be delayed, bet God can never
deny you of your blessings, he's the God of Abraham, shadrach, meschach
and Abednego, the God of Hannah, he has never forsake those that put
their trust in him.
Please hold on to this great God of hosts, the mighty man in battle, the I am that I am, don't give up on God, cos he won't give up on you.

A life worth living!
At the end of life, what really matters is not what we
bought, but what we built, not what we got, but what we shared, not our competence but our character, and not our success but our significance.
Live a life that matters...Live a life that cares & always tell yourself that “I AM BLESSED”.

Don't Miss A Date With Your Mother
After 21 years of marriage, my
wife
wanted me to take another
woman
out to dinner and a movie. She
said I
love you but I know this other
woman
loves you and would love to
spend
sometime with you.
The other woman that my wife
wanted me to visit was my
MOTHER,
who has been a widow for 19
years,
but the demands of my work and
my
three children had made it
possible to
visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to
go
out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well," she
asked?
"I thought that it would be
pleasant to
be with you," I responded. "Just
the
two of us."
She thought about it for a
moment,
and then said, "I would like that
very
much."
That Friday after work, as I drove
over
to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I
noticed
that she, too, seemed to be
nervous
about our date. She waited in the
door with her coat on. She had
curled
her hair and was wearing the
dress
that she had worn to celebrate
her
last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was
as
radiant as an angel's.
"I told my friends that I was going
to
go out with my son, and they
were
impressed, "she said, as she got
into
the car. They can't wait to hear
about
our meeting". We went to a
restaurant
that, although not elegant, was
very
nice and cozy. My mother took my
arm as if she were the First Lady.
After
we sat down, I had to read the
menu.
Half way through the entries, I
lifted
my eyes and saw Mom sitting
there
staring at me. A nostalgic smile
was
on her lips "It was I who used to
have
to read the menu when you were
small," she said.
"Then it's time that you relax and
let
me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an
agreeable conversation - nothing
extraordinary, but catching up on
recent events of each other's life.
We
talked so much that we missed
the
movie.
As we arrived at her house later,
she
said, "I'll go out with you again,
but
only if you let me invite you." I
agreed.
"How was your dinner date?"
asked
my wife when I got home. "Very
nice.
Much more so than I could have
imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died.
It
happened so suddenly that I did
not
get to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an
envelope with a copy of a
restaurant
receipt from the same place
where
mother and I had dined.
An attached note said:"I paid this
bill
in advance. I wasn't sure that I
could
be there; but nevertheless, I paid
for
two plates - one for you and the
other
for your wife. You will never know
what that night meant for me. I
love
you, son."
At that moment, I understood the
importance of saying in time: "I
LOVE
YOU!" and to give our loved ones
the
time that they deserve. Nothing in
life
is more important than your
family.
Give them the time they deserve,
because these things cannot be
put
off till "some other time."

Life is a beautiful struggle and a real
challenge. People all over the planet are searching for the meaning,
purpose and fulfillment of life. Everyone is constantly striving to be
happy, to be appreciated and to be loved. But we tend to forget or
overlook that behind all of these human desires is the creative impulse
of our soul. It moves through each of us and through the world we
create. And its
only when we can truly
understand, love and respond to our soul we find meaning in all of our
experiences – even the difficult ones. Lets come together and try to
grasp the bigger picture of who we are and discover how to distinguish
our personality from our soul.
