Hello There! Welcome to Nemerulez' Blog

I stumbled on this post on LinkedIn and I thought to share. Happy reading. Do you know that Lions only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts—which means they fail in 75% of their terms and succeed only in 25% of them? Despite the small percentage shared by most Predators, they don't despair in their pursuit and hunting attempts.  The main reason for this is not because of hunger as some might think, but it is the understanding of the "Law of Wasted Efforts" that has been instinctively built into animals, a law in which nature is governed. Half of the eggs of fish are eaten— half of the baby bears die before puberty— most of the world's rains fall in oceans— and most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds. Scientists have found that animals, trees and other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of "wasted efforts. Only humans think that the lack of success in a few attempts is a failure—but the truth is that we only fail when we stop trying. Su...

Yes, speaking is an art; because, to be effective, you have to craft and deliver your presentation extremely mindfully and very creatively. That's what makes good communication—it does not just happen.  So, to speak fluently, here are some tips to help you: The first step to speaking fluently is to understand how your words affect the listener. Knowing this will help you build a vocabulary that's both accurate and compelling, so that you can communicate effectively and graciously with others. Next, you need to know how to structure sentences in such a way that they flow smoothly from one thought to another. This is called "progression" in linguistics. Finally, you should study the language by reading aloud as much as possible— this will help you become aware of how your voice sounds when speaking naturally, and it will also allow you to practice speaking with other people around you.

 

There never comes a time when you feel ready. So, stop waiting for the right time —the right time to start is now! Choose what to do and get to action by doing this: -Pick a goal -Formulate a plan And  -Work to actualize it. Have an amazing week. 🙌✌️

 

The Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union lasted for decades and resulted in anti-communist suspicions and international incidents that led the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear disaster. The United States was left as the world's sole superpower. The Cold War and its events have left a significant legacy. Abort mission! Cold War does no good at all! Cold War against yourself is the worst! By all means, choose peace! Abort that hate mission! Nothing good comes out of it, but disaster! Some (quite a few) get lucky to escape the pain, shame, setbacks, enmity etc that come from  Cold War, some don't! Countries, families, friends, brethren, choose peace, let go and let love lead the way! ❤️

When you're a go to relief mechanism to some people, but as soon as they get the satisfaction and boost they need from you, they become scarce or they feel they don't need you anymore. That's life! Pick up yourself and move on! And learn this: Don't get to feel important when people always call or come to you to talk about their problems; it's because they know that you're the only one always willing to listen, and the right shoulder to lean on. It's safe to weigh your relationships and know what truly motivates you about them and vice versa.  That friendship may not be as deep as you think.  K n owledge about certain things helps you know what you're getting into and how to navigate your way through. 

Personal hygiene is a big deal! it is one of the most important things you can do to improve your lifestyle and health, so it is important to make sure you're doing it right.  Here are some tips for keeping yourself clean and healthy: Wash your hands often with soap and water.  Use hand sanitizer when you're out in the public to prevent the spread of germs.  Apply sunscreen everyday and reapply every 2 hours. 😊 Brush your teeth twice a day.  Use deodorant everyday.  Wash your face and moisturize.  Eat healthy - plenty fruits and vegetables, and foods that contain the right nutrients. Rest and get enough sleep. Live a healthy life.

My blog has been getting lots of traffic since last September; infact, it's massive. I was wondering what happened, and I realised that I did something different that actually boosted my traffic. Getting cheap massive traffic is the key to making money online. But, how do you do it? I'd like to share just a few strategies that's working for me. 1. Learn SEO (Search Engine                            Optimisation)  2. Post constantly.  3.  Build an email list by giving away freebies or selling products that people want to buy (like downloadable ebooks). 4. Use hashtags when sharing your posts on your social media handles. It's twitter and LinkedIn for me. I love the massive response I get from there - it's so encouraging. I shared just a few- hope this goes a long way to help you get cheap massive traffic, so you can start making some cool money online. 😊

Building your confidence is a lot like building your muscles—it's a process that takes time, practice and dedication. But it can be done! Here are just a few of my confidence booster. 1. Remember that you’re not alone. You may feel like you’re the only one who feels this way, but there are others out there who also struggle with self-esteem issues and low self-confidence. 2. Take action! Whether it's turning off the phone and spending time with friends or going on a walk and appreciating nature, going to see some movies, pep talking yourself, trying out new things that make you feel great about yourself! 3. Be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you have days where you don't have much energy or motivation to do anything. It's okay! Just make sure to get back on track tomorrow or the next day—don't let these feelings keep you down forever! 4. Look at yourself in the mirror. Admire yourself and remind yourself of how awesome you are! Hope these few tips he...

I am at peace with myself and my surroundings, and I refuse to let fear rule my life anymore. I am always faithful to my goals and visions. I am loving, kind, and gentle with myself. I am open to new opportunities in life. I am grateful for all the blessings in my life. Don't get tired of speaking life into your life.  Photo Credit: Christina Ifeoluwa  .

  The Scorpio season is a very exciting season. It's a time when you're feeling your most powerful, and also most vulnerable. This is your season to come into your own, to assert yourself in the world and show others who you are—whether that means standing up for what you believe in or speaking up for someone who needs help. You are not afraid to get into trouble or take risks, but you know that doing so will make the world a better place for everyone else. People born during this time tend to have a magnetic personality, which makes them very easy to like (and sometimes even love) or hate, as the case may be. 😀😀 They've got a lot of charisma and aren't afraid of using it—but they also know how to listen intently when someone needs advice or just wants someone to talk with about their problems. This is also a great time for entrepreneurs because it's all about building things up from the ground up—and if you're an entrepreneur, then Scorpio season could be one...

There are millions of planets in the Universe, each with their own unique beauty. Let's take a look at some of the more stunning ones! The first planet we're going to travel to is Earth, which is home to us humans. Our planet has a beautiful climate, and it has many different types of plants and animals. We can see some of these animals in our own backyards or parks—such as birds, fish, and mammals. But there are other animals that live on other planets that we can only see in pictures or on television shows like "Cosmos" or even "Game of Thrones." 😊 Next up is Mars. This red planet makes a great vacation spot because it's so close to Earth! The two planets have similar climates and both have water ice at the poles. It's not just humans who live on Mars either; there are also several types of bacteria that live there that were discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover back in 2012. And speaking of space travel… Venus! Venus is much closer to Earth th...

When you think about the things you do, is there anything that stands out?  Do you ever feel like something is missing from your life?  We all have things that we want to improve. We have goals and we want to better ourselves.  But how do you know what's going to work for you? How do you figure out what your path should look like?  The answer is simple:  YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IT!  You have to believe that it is possible for you to achieve whatever goal you have set for yourself.  This is where mindset comes in. it is not just about having a positive attitude or thinking positively about yourself- it is about knowing that everything will be okay if you just believe it enough! The truth is that our subconscious mind has been working on these things since before we were born- and it doesn't want us to give up! if your subconscious knows that something needs to be done, then it will find a way for it to get done. So don't let anything hold you back! Just kee...

In order to have a positive mindset, you have to first recognise that your current situation is not permanent. You can't just sit back and wait for things to get better-you have to make them better! Your mindset is like a filter between you and the world around you. It is how you identify things that are important to pay attention to and things that aren't important at all.  The more often you make changes in your filter, the more powerful it becomes.  So, try setting aside time every day or week for this process!  

If you are tired of feeling like a loser, and you want to learn how to overcome low self-esteem, then this article is for you. e Here are some things that you can do right now to start feeling better about yourself: Start being kinder and nicer to yourself.  Start being more grateful for the things that are good in your life, even if they aren't perfect yet. Write down everything you love about yourself and the things you'd love to see manifest in your life, and post them around where you spend most of your time, like by your bedside table or next to your desk at work or beside your mirror, anywhere at all that's comfortable for you. This will help you build a positive outlook and feeling about yourself.  And don't forget, say those words out loud to yourself, because the Universe is always listening and answering to all our spoken words- good or bad!

The words mindset and belief are often used interchangeably. However, they are two different things that can coexist together in a person's life. Mindset is your general outlook on life and how you approach challenges. Beliefs are the specific thoughts you have about yourself, your life, and the world around you. Your mindset is like a general pattern  how you think about things: your beliefs are like  specific examples of those thoughts. Thinking about the things you believe can help you identify your mindset and make sure it is in alignment with what you want to accomplish.  The first step is to identify the beliefs that are holding you back or keeping you from achieving your goals. This can be tough but it is important! When we are stuck in a mindset- even one that seems right at the time- it is often because we don't know how to identify our own beliefs, or how they might be affecting us.  The next thing to do is look at the beliefs that are helping you reach you...

 

Surround yourself with people who have a positive outlook on life, goals, and purpose. So that, if you ever grow weary on your journey, their positive aura and words of encouragement would energize you, and keep you going. Also, surround yourself with people who are not just dreamers but doers.  Above all, encourage yourself; believe you can! Let your light shine! 

It is convenient for us to make excuses if we feel that something is not important. But if it is, we will always find a way. A lot of people do not believe in the beauty of their own dreams or even in themselves; which is why they not take the required actions to make their dreams a reality. Truth is, deep down, we know where we want to go or what we want to do, but we are not convinced that there is a way around it. There is always a way! Our life and destiny is shaped by the decisions we make and the actions we take or fail to take. And even if we choose not to decide, we have still made a choice.

 

 

We tend to repeat the old mistakes when we do not realise the cause, or when we forget what led to the mistakes. We are so eager to come out of the situation we are in; praying and wishing for a new beginning, but forgetting to address or ignoring the root cause of the mistakes.  Remember this: when GOD gives you a new beginning, keep in mind that the tendency to repeat the old mistakes is there if you do not deal with the root cause of the mistakes. Do not say, it does not matter, after all, I have a new beginning; No! It matters, because If not dealt with, it will hunt your new beginning!  Go back to the drawing board, retrace your steps. This way, you will discover what went wrong, and be able to correct those errors, which could include dumping your old beliefs and mindset, addressing your fears, concerns, trauma, hurts, memories, background, etc: to avoid further and future repetitions of old mistakes.

 

The easiest way to lose one's path is in the midst of the journey; because, everything on the outside does not look like it. Trust that GOD is with you and is fighting for you. Remember, It is darkest before dawn. So, the most important place to deploy your joy is in the middle of the storm. Hold on to the promise, no matter what the situation looks like. And you ask, how much longer? Well, I can't answer that. But one thing I know is that GOD never fails! 🥰🥰🥰 

Be grateful. Be positive and surround yourself with positive people.  Be optimistic.  Laugh.  Find a good support system. Connect with someone/people who share your interest.  Be open to great experiences.  Be kind.  Eat healthy. Exercise. Stay physically active.  Help others.  Encourage someone.  Be a life-long learner. No one is a custodian of knowledge. Connect with people who will help you achieve your goals.  Make a list of the things you are grateful for.  Photo Credit: Christina Ifeoluwa 

 

There are many benefits of drinking lemon water, and here are some: Drinking Lemon water helps to fight off inflammation, by alkalizing the body and balancing pH levels. Drinking Lemon water may help to reduce pain and inflammation in the  joints caused by arthritis. Drinking lemon water helps replenish the liver with enzymes, keeping it running efficiently.  Lemon is rich in Vitamin C and citric acid, which encourages the liver to produce more bile, an important component for digestion. Drinking lemon rejuvenates the skin- the body's largest organ; and of course, it's health is paramount.  Lemon is high in potassium, which stimulates the brain, and nerve function. Lemon contains limonene, which protects against colon cancer, by breaking down carcinogens before they can cause damage.

Rest helps you think more clearly.  Rest helps you have better sleeps. Rest is good for your physical and mental wellbeing. In the face of challenges and distractions, rest helps you continue to move forward in a healthy way. Rest is important for creativity and productivity.  Rest is important for healthy relationships. Rest helps you recover from illness and fatigue.  Rest helps you recover from sleep deprivation. Above all, Rest in GOD and you will enjoy the peace and joy you need. No better place to find rest than in GOD alone. 😊🤗 So, give yourself some rest; everything will be alright.

When you control what goes on inside, the outside will align with your thoughts, eventually. You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails to always reach your destination. Being strong often means being able to acknowledge your weakness; and strive to becoming better person. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another. When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't! Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong. Remember that determination fosters success. Photo Credit: Christina Ifeoluwa 

Fruits are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Fruits have a few calories but lots of water content. It is important to hydrate yourself throughout the day, so don't feel bloated and sluggish. Fruits contain less sodium than other foods, but they do contain more potassium than most other foods. This helps keep your heart healthy.  Fruits are high in fibre, which makes them easier to digest than other foods. Fibre fill you up without making you feel too full, which is great because it means less food for you. 😁 From a nutritional standpoint, bananas rank highest in potassium, followed by mango and papayas. Fruits have been shown to help lower blood pressure (kiwi is a wonder fruit for lowering blood pressure), improve heart health (eating fruits before meal is more effective), and improve brain function.  So if you trying to stay fit and healthy, eat more fruits. Let's stay healthy. Shall we? ✌️☺️

Assumption! Do not make assumptions your reality! Assumptions are wrong! Assumptions can be dangerous! Assumptions can be used to manipulate people! Assumptions can be used to justify actions!  Assumptions can be used to justify inactions! Don't make assumptions without evidence! Don't assume you know what others are thinking! Be careful with assumptions!  Don't assume that people will react in a way that you think they will! Assumptions are the termites of relationships/friendships. It is better to be upfront than to assume; if you can't deal with it! But if you can, ignore and don't assume! Hope this helps us all. 

Determination is the process of focusing on a goal, and refusing to be deflected until that goal is  reached. Determination is a mindset.  Determination is a process.  Determination is a way of thinking.  Determination is a way of acting.  Determination is a way of living.  In fact, determination is a bit like driving along a road leading to your destination. If you want to get there, you might slow down or speed up a bit as the road twists and turns, but you will keep going in the same direction.  . the road is the journey.  . the destination is the goal.  . the car is your body.  . the driver is a metaphor for your mind.  . the road is a metaphor for your life.  So, what's your goal? Stay focused and get moving. Because determination is a positive quality that will help you achieve it. 

As you go out there today, here are a few things you should bear in mind. Your words can determine the level of success you will experience today, and in your life. You reap what you sow. Every time that we speak, we are sowing seeds. Words have the ability to build or destroy a relationship or ministry. The words you speak have creative power.  The words of your mouth are the blueprints to your life experience.  Your words will either take you to promotion, prosperity and peace or they will take you to poverty, defeat and destruction.  Speak the right words. Have an amazing week! 

 

 

Bitter kola. The miracle fruit, that's what I call it. I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter, bitter kola was my mood lifter and go-to, whenever I felt uneasy, heartburn, indigestion, nausea, spitting and general discomfort- especially when I ate. Bitter kola literally was helpful and useful all through my pregnancy journey. I ate it after every meal; and I ate a lot of it! I was fit all through my pregnancy with my daughter, and my doctor gave credits to the bitter kola that I ate all the time.  I don't know if it's good for every pregnant woman, but it was amazingly good to me. Bitter kola is generally a good fruit. GOD indeed  blessed us with this amazing miracle crop. Bitter Kola also kills bacteria, keeps the mouth from odour, boosts the immune system, helps to balance blood sugar level and so much more. So, get you some bitter kola today. Have an amazing weekend. 😁

There are so many people out there who have been through worse things than you. They have had their homes destroyed by flood, they have lost their loved ones, they have  battled with some sort of illenss- all kinds of things!  Still, they are trying to go on with their lives like nothing happened at all.  So what does that tell you? It tells you that you should never give up hope or stop believing in yourself! You should count your blessings and be grateful. Have an amazing weekend. 😊😊😊 Photo Credit:Christina Ifeoluwa 

1. In Psalm 105:19 TPT translation, it says God’s promise to Joseph purged his character until it was time for his dreams to come true. The enemy will contend with your promise. But through it all, learn the lessons that will build your character. It is only your character that will keep you and lift you even higher,  when your dreams finally come true. 2. You are worthy! Never underestimate your worth. 3. You must carry yourself up everyday. Keep the hope alive by holding on to the promise and speaking life. 4. Surround yourself with people who want your growth and are happy with your efforts and achievements. 5. Stop holding on to your past; it will only affect your choices and decisions. 6. People's experience might not be the teacher you need; to avoid you repeating their mistakes.

NEGOTIATION! One of my most viewed and read posts since I started blogging in 2014.  I didn't know people will love this topic. You see? Life is full of pleasant SURPRISES. Don't place one above the other; don't conclude or assume that you know what people would like. Be who you are and keep at it!  Not everyone loves gossip blogs.✌️ Here's more facts about negotiation.  Successful negotiation takes careful preparation and planning. When you have completed your preparations, you should enter into negotiations with a position that you feel will gain you the most favourable outcome. If you are opening negotiations with a counter-offer, you should always be prepared to make a concession if one is requested. Never make threats or ultimatums during a negotiation, but consider using the strategy of 'walk away'. Smart negotiators avoid traps that can lead to failure by recognising the difference between interests, positions and issues. 

Sleeping helps you lose weight. Oh well. Yes! It's true.  Sleeping improves your mood. Sleeping keeps you alert. Sleeping promotes better memory and concentration.  Sleeping improves your decision making skills.  So you see? Don't feel guilty doing this good to yourself.  Sleeping is important for our health and wellbeing. Knowledge is fun right? 😁

I love the views and feedback I got from my last post on Negotiation. This is so encouraging. However, friends, kindly leave your comments in the comment session. I also understand that some people complained that they are finding it difficult to comment on my post. I will suggest that you please check your settings and it will be resolved. But in all, I am deeply grateful for everyone who stopped by here. Thank you.🤗🤗 Okay, let's hit it! More facts on Negotiation.  This is now Negotiation 102.😁 If you want to negotiate, make sure you are asking for what you want! Do not be afraid to ask for more than what is being offered. The best way to negotiate is with a smile and an open mind. Don't make assumptions about how the other person feels. If you're not sure what to say, just ask them. You will be surprised by how much information you can gather from simple questions. In a study conducted at the University of Washington, researchers found that encouraging people to negoti...

 

Flossing is important for getting food particles out of your teeth. Flossing helps to keep your gums healthy; and prevents gum disease. Flossing removes plaque buildup. Flossing helps to prevent tooth decay. Daily flossing may prevent heart disease. You should floss daily to keep your mouth and body healthy.

Negotiation is a process that can be used to achieve a goal, not just when it's time to start talking about money. Negotiation is a meeting between two or more parties to define the terms of a deal. It is an agreement between two or more parties, usually involving exchange of goods, services, money or some other benefits. Negotiation is an important part of business skills, because it can help you get what you want in several situations. When you are trying to resolve an argument with someone who doesn't agree with your opinion, you might need to negotiate with them before they will listen to what you have to say. People who are good at negotiating, are also good at reading people's body language. Negotiation is a good skill to learn. It will help you to nagivate through a situation, when you're met with one.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same. It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop! Stopping puts the progress you could have made on hold! To overcome frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles. Success is the sum of the small efforts you make every day-repeatedly! You have to keep trying, so that you can keep improving. Success is a process; keep putting the blocks. Keep your face like a flint! Forward ever!!!! 

It may be a person, place or thing. It could be a memory, dream or fantasy. It could be something that makes you feel good about yourself. It could be something that makes you smile or even laugh. It could be an event that changed your life.  It could be a spoken word for or against you.  It could even be a NO that was blatantly said to you, even when a YES was easy to say.  It could be the loss of a dear one.  It could be life itself.  It could be your failures or successes. Inspiration comes from many places.  And whatever inspires you, let it make you a better person than you were. So, what inspires you? 😁
