DID YOU KNOW THAT WHERE YOU ARE DETERMINES WHAT GROWS INSIDE OF YOU?

Image
Have you noticed that when you are in the midst of some friends, you are excited and happy, laughing at different jokes? You also notice that with some friends you share knowledge and ideas, you are lifted and enligtened? Where as, with some friends,  you are moody and the little faith in you gets drained and you are left empty, you are suddenly angry and cannot even explain why. This only tells you that where you are determines what grows inside of you- weeds or flowers, strengths or weakness,  joy or anger and hatred.  If where you are isn't favouring you,  all you need do is to move away from there. The truth is, whatever you desire for yourself in the nearest future starts with the decision you make now. Stay away from negative people, environment.  Have a strong will to say no to bad seeds that will eventually grow into thorns.  When you are with the right people, the best comes out of you and the worse part of you dies.  Some people have stayed long in violen

HAVE YOU DISCERNED YOUR GIFTS?

WHAT YOU TRULY LOVE THE MOST IS A CLUE TO A GREAT GIFT INSIDE OF YOU. DISCERN, ACKNOWLEDGE AND EMBRACE IT AND PLAN YOUR LIFE AROUND IT. LET THE TRUE YOU BECOME STRONGER AND NEVER TRY TO BE WHO YOU ARE NOT. YOU CAN NEVER FIND FULFILMENT BEING SOMEONE ELSE.

EARNESTLY PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CHILD(REN)...

Dear Parents, always pay attention to whatever your chlid(ren) wants to tell you,  no matter how busy or tired you are. By doing so, you are letting your children know they come first before any other thing-yes children are that sensitive. They will hold you in high esteem and will not hesitate to let you into their world.  They will share their feelings and thoughts with you and as their role model, they will always expect you to tell them the right thing to do.  Most parents made the mistake of shutting their children out all in the name of discipline.  But that sure is a wrong way to discipline a child. Listen earnestly to what your child is saying,  because if you do not listen to the little things when they are little,  they will not tell you the big things when they are big. Every single attention you pay to a child matters alot in forming him/her.  Let us be wise.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW THIS TRUTH....

When you become famous, people suddenly would want to celebrate you, identify with you or even become part of your life.. not knowing how many hurdles you had to jump to make it to the finish line, the sleepless nights while the whole world were asleep. But, be sure to know how very important it is that you do not to forget the few that stood by you when no one else did.  Keep this truth in mind.  You will need it.

SOMEONE SENT THIS PIECE TO ME...I HOPE WE LEARN GREATLY FROM IT. BE INSPIRED!!!!

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by, he took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the boy's hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words. Shortly,   the boy's hat got filled up, yet people could not stop giving the blind boy more money. Later the same day, the man who changed the sign earlier, came by and the boy recognised his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man answered him "Yes, I was, I said what you said but in a different way. "I wrote: 'Today is a beautiful day; but I cannot see it.'"  Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign re

DO NOT MOVE AWAY FROM THE ESSENCE OF WHAT GOD MADE YOU. UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR UNIQUENESS. 

WHAT IS YOUR SELLING POINT???

Image
I love the popular song by ice prince where he played a judge and asked contestants to exhibit their abilities and talents. Whist he sang the song, people demonstrated and exhibited their differented  unique and individual talents which were their selling points . They were in the end recognised for their different styles, talents and gifts. This is an important part of life: knowing your selling point as a person and utilising it to the full. Yours could be dancing, playing instruments, writing, drawing, teaching, coaching and many more, but whatever your selling point is that makes you stand out, USE it to the FULL and I bet you're not only bringing glory to GOD but you will also enjoy great satisfaction and find more fulfillment in life and encourage/inspire others.

HERE IS A WORD FROM STEPHANIE COKER, A TV PERSONALITY- SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDS TO GET ENCOURAGED BY THESE POWERFUL WORDS....

Image
Stephanie Coker is a media personality, an actress, a model. This morning she took to instagram to reflect on her journey to success and how it was not an easy road, but she scaled through without compromise.  Powerful and highly motivational. She wrote:  "We are often in a hurry to get to where we want to be in life, that we forget what we have endured to get to where we are now. I look back at my journey over the past 3 years and although I am nowhere where I want to be, I am grateful for all I have achieved. I remember when I just moved to Nigeria and was staying with family in ebutu metta, there was a certain man who I had several meetings with to develop a business idea of mine at the time. All was progressing well till he eventually turned the pages and approached me with his desire for me. He changed his rapport and even offered to buy me a flat in banana island so I could be more comfortable and settled. As tempting as such offers could be, nothing in life is fr

I came across the status update of one of my friends on Whatsapp and it read "People I truly love don't love me back - that's sad." Now, don't be quick to say to this person, "That's life, get over it!" As tough as life can be, we somehow have the capacity to love, be kind and generous. The status update struck me and it recurred to me that many people don't have enough love for themselves. We want to love other people, but we forget we need to love ourselves FIRST. It's not too early in the year to talk about this, because someone out there got heart-broken yesterday...someone got separated from a spouse...someone lost a dear friend...someone was told "I hate you!"  Since we can't necessarily control what happens in life, we can learn to love ourselves and that love will help us sail through the, sometimes, harsh weather that life may bring our way. Fall in love with yourself: be patient wit

THE TECHNOLOGY SYNDROME. ....HOW FAR?

A while ago I did a back track on how we lived and functioned before the emergence of technology; how people kept communication lines open through writing letters and posting them which could take a couple of weeks before the recipient gets a hold on basic information. Come to think of it, people still functioned, they lived life without bothering about phones or any form of gadgets because there was nothing to worry about in that regard.  Given the emergence of technology, primarily the use of phones, there has been a gross diversion of priorities and the way things are done which has also left it's dent on our values, systems, and procedures. Although  the more things change, the more they remain the same, I am of the strong opinion that we have wrongly harnessed the benefits of the use of phones. Regardless of its benefits which helps us to keep communication alive, it has also communicated wrongly to a lot of people who have allowed their phones to displace a lifestyle tha

NEVER MAKE PROMISES YOU CANNOT KEEP.  TALK IS CHEAP, BUT LET YOUR WORD BE YOUR BOND. 

THIS IS SO HILARIOUS....

A psychiatrist visited a California mental institution and asked a patient, "How did you get here? What was the nature of your illness?" He got the following reply. "Well, it all started when I got married and I guess I should never have done it. I married a widow with a grown daughter who then became my stepdaughter. My dad came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter, then married her. And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother. Soon, my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy's brother-in-law since he is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my daddy's wife. So, as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at once my stepmother! Now, since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he also became my uncle. As you know, my wife is my step-grandmother since she is my stepmother's mother. Don't forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter. Remember, too, that

Dear Nemerulez Blog lovers, I woke up to this morning and this question popped into my head:  "If you had the power to change just "one thing" in the world,  what would that be?"  I thought I should share it with you all, because i know you'd have a lot to change if given the power. So please share your thoughts..... It's a very great day... Be alive, Be happy and Be highly expectant!!!!

BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF....A MUST-READ PIECE BY ONE OF NEMERULEZ BLOG LOVERS, J'ODIE (SINGER , SONG WRITER)

Once upon a time, I and my dad were seeing a movie and he highlighted something quite funny, but true. He said, "These actors just wake up and fight all day - they don't even shower, eat, work, pay bills, but fight: worst of all, they almost never get tired." That is a typical description of an average "action film". Unrealistic as it is, many of us subconsciously have such superhuman expectations of others and even ourselves. We do not look forward to planting, yet we want a bountiful harvest and we want it immediately too. Most people hate to toil, but want to be celebrated. I must confess: I am one of them. I think it is too early to claim the expression "was one of them" on this issue, since I am still un-learning this rather unfulfilling lifestyle. But this is not just about learning to love the work part of harvest, it is about learning to have healthy expectations of one's self and others. This take

STILL GRATEFUL.... STILL THANKFUL....

Is it possible to enjoy a benefit so frequently that you begin to overlook its depth and impact in your life? Take a moment to think about what a typical day looks like for you and even without being very sensitive you will point out a variety of activities you engage in almost on a daily basis. Most of these activities have become part of us such that we don't need to trust anybody or even ourselves or exert so much energy of any sort to execute them. A friend of mine uses the expression "that's not a prayer point" to let me know that the task ahead is so minute that it can be done with less demand on intellectual dexterity.  It's important that as we enjoy the daily benefits that come in the most simplified forms, we don't forget to remain thankful for them. Imagine you got up late this morning because you slept quite late given the antecedents of events over the weekend. You are getting ready for work, need to drop children at school, have a meeting at

LEADERSHIP IS NOT A PURSUIT, BUT A RESULT. DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE ALL IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER?

Image
True leadership is one hundred percent influence through inspiration. The principal pursuit, therefore, for those who desire and aspire to become effective leaders must be the answer to this question: "How do I inspire people around me and that is the source of inspiration?  The best way to approach and appreciate the practical application of the definition of leadership as communicated is to start the process at the end of the definition. You will note that the process begins with an individual's discovery of a personal purpose that, when captured, ignites a conviction. This conviction generates a vision in the person's heart that stirs a passion.  The force of this person's  passionate pursuit of the vision inspires others, who are stirred to join in and cooperate with the vision. This ultimate effect is called "influence" and results in the followers acknowledging the individual as a leader.  If inspiration is the key to legitimate influen

MEN, DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR WIFE IS YOUR "ACCESS CODE"? FIND OUT HERE...

The bible says, when a man finds a wife, he finds a good thing and that he obtains favour from GOD. This means that when a man gets married, he automatically becomes favoured both in the sight of GOD and man. That is where you see a man who didn't have anything before getting married begins to succeed and get better, and the rich ones get richer. Well as sweet as this sounds, this promise comes with a price. Oh yes, it does! Of course, the promise does not include men who cheat on their wives,  treat them badly,  ignore their wives wise counsel etc. Yes someone might be saying "oh no Neme,  I know of men who treat their wives badly and yet they are doing well. The truth is, there is always a day of reckoning for those men. Have you not heard of "from grace to grass"? Or stuff lke "this man used to be very wealthy? And more?  That is always the case. And like the Bible says, we should not envy the wicked when they prosper,  because they will come crashing do

THERE IS NOTHING TRENDY ABOUT BEING DISHONEST...

Hello friends,  here's a short piece for your edification... Dishonesty has become the order of the day..in relationships between spouses, friends, colleagues, siblings and so on. People feel it is trendy to be dishonest,  after all, who knows if am being dishonest, they'd say. But the truth remains, what you do in secrets, our maker sees them all. Let our yes be truly yes and our no be truly no. It pays to be honest. Do not follow the trend or feel you're not getting paid for being honest. You'll surely get your reward. An honest person usually gets rewarded, by GOD. Stand out from the crowd. There is nothing trendy about being dishonest.

In marriage, be open and sincere to one another.  Don't play hard with your partner. Do not handle marriage like it's a one man's show. It is a union of two hearts that beat as one. Treat each other with love and respect.

DO YOU KNOW THE REASONS YOU ARE NOT LOSING WEIGHT EVEN AFTER YOUR WORK OUTS?

A lot of people work out for different reasons, either to lose weights or to keep fit and stay healthy. I hear some of my friends say they have tried all sorts of work outs/exercises, vigorous, aerobics, but they tend to gain more weights and as such they are discouraged to keep working out. Okay, the usual me would always like to research to find out facts.  So, here are some of my findings of what you SHOULD NOT DO and I hope this will help you deal with the issue of not losing weights even after putting too much efforts at the gym house.  Do not skip your breakfast, meals or use diet pills. Do not rely on exercises alone to lose weight. Ensure that you eat healthy meals and  stay away as far as you can from junks. Do not use exercise as an excuse to eat more. I see people grabbing  snacks and drinks immediately they leave the gym house. That would not give you the result you seek. Do not change your routine exercises.  Do not starve yourself. Ensure you eat a co
