ENGAGE-ONHIVE: IDEAL PERFECT PICTURE

in OCD4 years ago (edited)

There's is a lot of things the future holds in store for us. It could be a life we never even thought of living, also it could be the life we've always dreamt of living.

Either way whatever version of the future we get is the one predestined for us. We're only rewarded the best life chosen for us (my personal opinion).

My ideal perfect future
Down future lane

"Mummy, mummy I want to eat biscuit", David would say to me.

"Too much sugar isn't good for you baby", I reply.

The above is a little sneak peak of how I want to live my life. A life of parenthood.

I have pictured that I'll graduate with good results, go for the compulsory one year national youth service, get a job, marry and become a proud parent.

Before I get married I must have gone on series of dates and gotten surprise cakes, chocolates, flowers and notes delivered at my door step. Even a surprise birthday party for me.

When I eventually want to settle down and get married, I'll have three weddings: Court, traditional and white weddings. All would be done simultaneously and in six months.

I don't want talk-of-the-town traditional and white wedding. Just a beautiful themed wedding covered by a private media house.

I'd give birth to four children, 2 boys and girls each with a three years interval between them.

Definitely, I don't plan on starting a family in Nigeria but should that be the case there would be steady power supply in my house and water.

I'd open a lucrative business with the little money I saved up and that which my partner would give me. I'm doing that so I could have time for my family.

Wouldn't want a situation whereby I leave the major work to the help I'll bring to stay in my house.

It's not that I don't like white collar jobs, I do. I'll leave it for my husband to do. I can only do the white collar job outside my country and it has to flexible enough to accommodate time spent with my family.

I'll live a good life, die a holy death and secure everlasting happiness in heaven.

Thank you very much admin @brittandjosie. You always fall through with your kind words of encouragement, support and a little word of prayer.

As you've wished me well, I pray that your good heart desires come through. At least there are still a few things you expect from life and they'll come to pass eventually.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky

Wow you have it all planned out, I don't even plan tomorrow any more lol!

Hope that all of these dreams come true but you never know what the future holds hey? The universe sometimes has its own plan 🙂

Yes I do. I they're all written down ready to be executed. It's really been going well lately. Just the educational aspect tho and it's taking a lot of time to accomplish.

School I thought I'd round up in 3 and half years is prolonged to four years or more. Life changes occuring.

I don't mind if all of them comes through. I want the essentials. I don't know the essentials yet it's when I've lived my life and life chooses for me then I am forced to accept whatever path choosen for me.

As long as it's a clear and straight path, free of vices and negativity or negative actions I'm good to go.

Thank you very much for your response @nickyhavey. You always fall through with your words of advice and encouragement and also your beautiful ways with words.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky.

Yeah with the global pandemic, I think a lot of people's plans had changed hey?

Things will work themselves out in the end, they always do in some way. I've learned (could argue still learning) to let certain things go and focus on the positive but without negative, there'd be no balance - I usually think of the yin yang symbol, a bit of good in a lot of bad balances with a lot of good in a bit of bad... such is life!

You're smart though so I have full confidence you will make the most of your life and opportunities 😃

there'd be no balance

There's a popular trend with this caption "there'd be no balance" in my country and in our native language translated as life no jus balance😂😂😂

It still means your own translation but then once we look at it, life is not balanced. As a human we're not balanced, we're not perfect, always yearning for more, trying to be in perfect shape, have a lot of money and get more and more based on our individual differences.

I guess if we all in the world were given all these things at one, that is a balanced life, we'd never appreciate the value of working since everything has been provided for us already.

You're smart though so I have full confidence you will make the most of your life and opportunities 😃

Thank you very much. I'm trying to make a good life for myself before the inevitable happens.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As a human we're not balanced, we're not perfect, always yearning for more, trying to be in perfect shape, have a lot of money and get more and more based on our individual differences.

I agree with you, we aren't balanced generally and everyone has their own definition of it. I guess you could replace the word with being "happy" and it would probably make more sense but life is a rich tapestry in any case.

As for not appreciating things, usually that's the case when you have too much of one thing... i.e. not balanced 😂

So yeah, in summary - to appreciate things you need to have an imbalance of things, despite wanting to have balance...

Anyone else confused yet? 🤣

Yes please I'm confused with the words rich tapestry

to appreciate things you need to have an imbalance of things, despite wanting to have balance...

Such a twist of words. I'm afraid you'll have to come back and explain what you mean here😂😂😂😂

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky

"Life is rich tapestry" is something my Granddad always said, mostly to my Mum but he was a psychologist and had a great way with words. A tapestry is like a woven fabric with pictures or illustrations sewn in to them that tell a story or life event.

A RICH tapestry is one with many pictures, life stories but not just in your own personal sense. Everyone in this world has their own life stories to share and they have interacted with others to create their tapestry. So with this saying, life has many complex events that are all interwoven in the fabric of our lives.

Such a twist of words

Haha, it was meant to be, I'm cheeky like that 😁 I was replying to this part of what you said:

I guess if we all in the world were given all these things at one, that is a balanced life, we'd never appreciate the value of working since everything has been provided for us already.

You have to have imbalance in life to appreciate the things that mean the most to you. Like you said, if you had everything and had that balance, what would you appreciate if it wasn't there?

So in our strive for balance, we actually need that IMbalance to appreciate the things that are important to us.

I'd love to find out how many times we've said the words "balance" and "imbalance" in the last conversation thread! Those words start to sound weird the more you say them right?! 😃

Wow, interesting and really fast in response.

This is really a nice future to picture I must say. I could have written mine down on the blog but I got the topic late as I was very busy and thinking of topic for this week.

Anyways, thanks for participating. You could suggest a topic for next week for consideration 😊

Well I actually had it in mind to write and post on my blog. When I saw your topic, I said to myself, "why not kill 2 birds with one stone".
So I changed my topic and replace it with yours.

As for suggesting a topic, I'd suggest;

  • Deepest fear
  • The death of a loved one that hurt you the most.
  • Favorite holiday adventure.
  • The biggest property of your parents have you destroyed.
  • Gangster Life- if you were a gangster how would you be.

My suggestions and it's open to alterations. Thank you very much.

❤️❤️❤️
Becky.

This are awesome suggestions I must say, very brilliant. Thanks 😊

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you very much.
Have a nice day.

❤️❤️❤️
Becky

That’s some good planning you’ve got there. I don’t want to tell you not to do those things but let life make some of the choices for you. I thought we would have 2 kids but we finished with 1. I thought we would live near my work but we live really far away.

I’m just saying try not to plan too much. It’s good to have goals but life definitely makes decisions for you that you don’t have control over. Especially when it comes to having children lol they are fantastic but they are a lot of work, more so if you have no help from family.

Despite all that, we adapt and take the things in life as they come. Things work out for a reason in the end so you just need to have general plans but also leave room for unexpected things because that always happens.

Thanks for sharing these nice life goals!

Well, I don't really expect it all to come to pass immediately, lol 😂. It's what I earnestly request for. If there are better plans for me other than the ones mentioned, I'll see it in my dreams not coming to pass.

Those dreams are there to shape my mindset on the path to follow and to pursue to achieve what I really want. I'm not in control of my life, so definitely life would make the better decisions for me.

Thank you very much for visiting. Your awesome comment is highly appreciated.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky

What beautiful dreams @beckie96830, I wish that everything comes true as you dream it.

I wish so too. I don't want to be too expectant but those dreams are put in place to guide my mindset on the path to follow if I really want them to happen.

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm grateful that you visited my blog.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky

That sounds like an amazing plan, but, you know, we plan and God laughs. I know that wherever you land and whatever your future holds, you will be happy and will do the best with it. Because you have goals and passion, I am sure you will surpass even your own.

Good luck with the contest!

Thank you very much ma'am for visiting my blog. Your presence is highly appreciated.

Yes God laughs because we don't know the plans he already has for us. I put them in place should incase this is my path of life.

I'm not being to expectant. I still leave everything in the hands of God.

🎁 Hi @beckie96830! You have received 0.1 HIVE tip from @dswigle!

Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide.

OK, what a beautifully planned future. I had no idea you could get goodies delivered to your doorstep. Wow, that's exciting. But mind you, 3 children are very expensive these days. And in about 10 years, even more so. I'm only saying this because 3 weddings will cost a lot. Why not just go small and intimate. It doesn't matter how large or how many you have. You can do this and marriage only last 6 months to a year. It's nice to plan, but also stay flexible in case you may have to go a different route. The key is to be the happiest you can be in the time frame given to all humans. And we never know how long that will be. So plan for the future, but live to the fullest extent today.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for the wonderful advise admin. Two of the weddings is considered important if I want to consider myself married both legally and traditionally.

If I don't do traditional wedding my people won't release me to my husband and if I go against their will I consider myself banned from the village.

It's important that I do it. Then if it requires me having a marriage certificate I must do white wedding so I can be legally joined in holy matrimony in front of God and witnesses.

In all I'll still consider to be flexible in my decisions. Its not all about getting married but staying married.

Thank you for visiting. My pleasure.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beckie

Yes, it is about staying married. That's most important. But if your village require you to engage in any other activities, then by all means follow your traditions and customs of your people. And oh, remember, I'm not an admin at the Terminal. I'm only a part of the Redfish Rally staff helping in the Rally.

Ohhk. I'm sorry. I thought you were. In that case it's still not a problem.

Thank you very much for the kind correction.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky.

That sounds like some really good dreams and goals you have there! I hope you have everything you wish for.

Thank you very much Sir. I'm happy you wish me well. My earnest prayer is to be alive to accomplish all these goals.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky

I hope your wishes will come true.
Work for it and you will get all that you want.

Amen dear. Thank you very much for the kind wishes.
