There is nothing as attractive as a person with clean fitting clothes, well groomed hair, good shoes and etiquettes. Good looks is attractive; so is a good life. Life should be maximized --you know, lived to the best.
Some people act like they have a spare life hidden somewhere. Years have come and gone and I get more convinced that everyone should live as if they have only one life because in reality, they have just ONE (singular and irreplaceable) life! I recently started something for the unmarried people in my environment. If there's anything I believe they should know, it is the fact that they should get a life and not wait till they are married.
Eccl 3:5-85 The living at least know they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, nor are they remembered. 6 Whatever they did in their lifetime—loving, hating, envying—is all long gone. They no longer play a part in anything here on earth. 7 So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! 8 Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! (NLT)
When God made man, the first thing He (God) did was to bless him. He said 'Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and have dominion..." Did you notice that all the words in the pronouncement are action words? When God empowers a person, He is giving the person a divine ability to accomplish certain tasks. The specifics of what to to might differ from person to person, but the Blessing remains an empowerment to DO something. The question you should ask yourself is if you are adding value to the society at this time of your life.
I have seen many people get frustrated in life. Many times, it's because they are not involved in something worthwhile. Idleness is bad for a married person, its much worse if you are single. It's like trying to catch someone who is falling when you are not standing properly yourself. Although it sounds too serious, 'Thou shalt get a Life' is an important 'commandment' to everyone who desires to be more than being a part of the fickle human cycle of life and death.
Many people are waiting to live the life of their dreams when they can start creating it. Our world has grown so much that it is possible to do something you love to do; as long as you desire to do it. It amazes me that many people want to be seen as wise and successful, yet they ignore the subtle nudges of their heart. They get an urge to encourage somebody, a nudge to pray, an inclination to go into a particular field of work, a desire to get close to someone or a feeling to volunteer in an organization, but they ignore it. Every time we override an innate desire to carry out certain tasks, we are overriding who we really are.
Getting a life goes beyond being good at your job or succeeding business. It also means you should live the life you want, starting today. So I'd say to the ladies, get that degree if you really want it; buy that gadget if you can afford it. If you like traveling --babe, GO ON VA-CA-TION! Guys, eat at that restaurant you've always wanted (even if it means going alone!). Just get going with yourself and live the life of your dreams.
Thou must get a life today!
