Important thing in life

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

In today’s digital world, many of us are thrown by social status, materialistic items and luxuries – and how can you blame us? We are constantly being shown that the image of perfection includes these things, with edited Instagram images and reality TV shows highlighting the elite.

 

In reality, however, status, designer products and expensive items are worth nothing; they won’t make you happy nor healthy. So, regardless of where you are in the world, the most important things on your list should include the following.

1. Health

 

Being healthy is the single, most important part of our existence – without good health, our lives can be cut short. That said, it’s important not to take good health for granted and feed our bodies nutrients that they deserve by eating a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HSS), by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can ‘reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease and cancer), and promote your overall health.’

2. Family

While you may sometimes argue and get annoyed with your family, they are your unit and the ones that you can turn to in times of happiness and sorrow. No matter what you go through with your family, they will always be there to guide and support you and to help you learn and grow as a person.

 

The love from a family member is unconditional and should not be taken for granted. Some people go through life without truly appreciating just how important having their family’s support is and spend the majority their existence feeling unhappy. So, if you don’t usually show your family how much they mean to you, now is the time to start!

3. Friends

Just like family, friends are a vital part of our existence and happiness. They are people that can share the best parts of your life with you and will be there as a confidant when you need to talk about personal issues.

 

While real friends are hard to come by, most will have a handful of trusted friends that they can rely on. And even though you may outgrow certain friends during different stages of your life, you will have opportunities to form new relationships with people that you come across.

4. Love

Love is the epicentre of every aspect of your life – it doesn’t just relate to having a partner. You will love your partner in a unique way, but you will also have unchangeable affection for your family and friends.

 

Love is also the feeling that will drive you throughout your career, extracurricular activities, interests and hobbies. Moreover, you will experience love in its varying forms; you may go on holiday and fall in love with a particular city, cuisine or culture. What’s vital is that you embrace everything that you love and enjoy.

5. Purpose

 

Having a purpose is a fundamental component of living a fulfilling life. Without purpose, we won’t have the motivation to achieve great things or even do something simple such as getting out of bed in the morning. According to psychologist Steve Taylor, not having a purpose ‘makes us more vulnerable to boredom, anxiety, and depression.’

 

Meanwhile, having a strong sense of purpose can have a positive effect on our lives. If you take a page out of the books of successful entrepreneurs, most of them made it by having a drive and a sense of purpose. They worked hard because they were confident of what they could achieve – and this purpose is something that we need to follow to feel accomplished in life.

6. Passion

Along with purpose comes passion; our desires, our dreams and our hopes in life. When you’re passionate about something, you’re going to work hard to achieve it. For example, Huda Kattan was a self-established makeup artist, but her passion for cosmetics pushed her to build a beauty empire that’s now worth over $600 million.

 

That said, passion looks different for everyone; some people will be passionate about giving back to society, while others will have a passion for personal gain. Just ensure that your passion is for a good cause and that it brings joy not only to yourself but to others, too.

Ways to avoid see finish

The phrase ‘see finish’ has become prominent in Nigeria. The pidgin term ‘see finish’ loosely translates to ‘to have seen it all’. It is used to describe a situation where two or more people have become too familiar that the boundary of respect or tolerance is pushed or totally shattered. Think of it as a Nigerian way of saying “familiarity breeds contempt.”

Let’s face it, anyone can be a victim of ‘see finish’ especially if we’re not careful. So how then can one avoid this? Stick with us and we’ll tell you how. Here are five ways to avoid ‘see finish’: 

Have a moral code and stick to it

Having a moral code keeps you in check. It reminds you of what makes you, you. When you’ve got a moral code and you stick to it, it doesn’t give room for you to bend to the will of others, especially negatively. It makes others respect you.

Keep your promises

Not keeping your promises is one definite way to encourage ‘see finish’. Imagine hearing someone saying “Na so e dey do, e no dey ever deliver” or you promise to get your little niece a gift and she’s like “I know you won’t get it, you say that all the time”. At work, school, and any other place, keeping your promises ensures your respect stays intact.

Normalize keeping some things to yourself

It’s okay to be extroverted and sociable, but when it comes to some topics and personal matters that might divulge very sensitive information about you or people close to you (e.g your spouse, kids, partners, etc.) you need to keep your business to yourself. The more people know about you, the more the tendency for see-finish. 

Speak up when you’re mistreated

There’s being nice and there’s being taken advantage of because you’re nice. The latter should never be the case for you. When people try to mistreat you, they should be put in their place immediately because they will come back for more if you do not act immediately, just like how you’re to treat bullies.

Get a Leadway Family Benefit Plan Plus

What says “see finish” more than those relatives making faces and chattering behind your back because you can’t give a befitting burial to a spouse, parent, or parent-in-law? If you search, you would probably not find a lot. The Leadway Benefit Plan Plus is a funeral insurance that addresses this to help you avoid the shame of “see finish”. Its premiums are affordable and the benefits are tax-free.

Giving a befitting celebration of life party wouldn’t be far from you with this plan and with it, you don’t have to run into debt. It’s the perfect plan to avoid ‘see finish’ from relatives.
