Value first of all means the sense of worth or usefulness attached to an object, person, exercise or way of life .
It is important for us to value life as a whole, since it is from the life we are given that any utility and success we enjoy springs forth.
Currently , a lot of people seem not to have reasons for living . All these stem from the failure to appreciate the value of the things they have . Objects worthy of appreciation need not necessarily be tangible . For instance , one may not value his/her education . Rather than such a person apply his/her knowledge to get to the next level , you may find such a person griping about how if only he/ she had ‘x’ or ‘y’ and what he/she could have done with it .
Acknowledgment of the value contained in one’s life heralds the achievement of maximum utility from such a life . Note – this does not happen overnight , but is a gradual and cumulative effort , it must be sustained .
Our sense of value , ultimately , affects how we view life . If we have a low sense of value , we fail to see possibilities , continually fail to motivate people to do their best , continually refuse to acknowledge people’s worth effectually lowering their potentials, in some cases , blacking them out totally .
If we truly value our lives and time as a whole , so many things will change . We will become conscious of the things that occupy most of our time and thoughts. Because, at the end of the day , we will concentrate on the things that mean the most to us .
Our sense of value : A heightened sense of value will lead us individually to assess our impact in our society , among our peers , our family and the nation as a whole . We will have individuals who have increased productivity in the workplace , who ultimately generate more utility . In all , we will have gained the ability to add more to our lives .
The choice is yours , you can live through your days unremarkably , or , you can treasure each day , recognizing the amount of value you can withdraw from each day . Be encouraged and be prayerful.
