MAKE IT LAST
Many things
are beautiful when they last. We are always fascinated when we see things
maintained. Whether you are talking about a 50 years’+9+ marriage or a pen you
have kept since high school.
Whatever it is, things that last gives deep joy, satisfaction
and a sense of fulfillment. Who wants a marriage that won’t last or a friendship
that is brief, no matter how sweet it is?
Who wants
an
equipment or a gadget he or she buys, NOT to last? NOBODY!
This means
we all want some permanence in our lives even for life itself. No wonder when
people die prematurely we say their sun set at midday! These people didn’t
last, we are deeply hurt by brief things, especially relationships. Almost to
the point we wished it didn’t even start in the first place.
But how do
you make something last over which you have no control? Impossible I hear you
say? And I completely agree with you; but what about those things we have
control of or can maintain? Wouldn’t it be wise to MAKE IT LAST for as long as
it can?
The phrase
“make it last” is deeply associated with the words responsibility and sacrifice. The more responsible you are and the
more sacrifice you make, the more your relationships and things in general will
last. Is hope alive?
Few people
are truly interested in making things last, especially their relationships.
They let go too often too soon. This is because they no longer value the
concept of things that last. They feel they can have better things and people
in their lives and hurry off to the next individual is item only to realize
that peace and satisfaction eludes them. They chase for the minds and end up
becoming unhappy because there is no lasting thing or person with them.
They get the
temporal satisfaction of a change but secretly grieve over their losses. They
sound tough and threaten to move on but within seek an end to their search for
true relationships or things.
More
important that things that don’t last is the question why doesn’t it last?
Things don’t last for many reasons among which are:
·
They
feel there is an option or alternative.
·
They
seek better things
·
They
don’t know how to make things lasts
·
They
give up too easily
·
They
wait till the water runs dry.
To make your
relationship last today, you must understand the following:
Ø Zero your mind on an alternate or option
Ø Realize there is nothing better out
there for you (if you are already married)
Ø It is up to you to make it last or
not
Ø Determine to make it last (your
relationship) with all that you have.
Ø Do not wait until the water runs dry
on your relationship.
Things that
last are inspirations and testimonies to others. In fact what better example can
kids be given than to see their parents stay together other than a break up.
Make it a goal today to make your relationship last. Save yourself unforeseen
hurts, make it last. You truly can, only if you try hard enough. Is hope alive?
