WHY WE NEED A CHANGE!

As we live, it's ideal we make certain decisions at critical moments in our lives. The life-long learning process wasn't designed for us to remain where we are after the experience, but to reflect, re-adjust,and regain the consciousness of who we are make changes that are relevant to our success story.  In the words of Albert Einstein, "the problems we face cannot be solved at the same level we were when we  created them"...therefore we must take the initiative and responsibility of growing ourselves above the circumstance. We cannot be doing the same things, having the same paradigm perspective, responding the same way, using the same line of communication, enjoying the routine and expect a different result. Embrace  the learning process and change the circumstance.  Nuggets: 1. Learning is a life-long investment 2. Challenges are strategically designed for the ideal you to emerge. 3.  Develop the mental toughness to face your challenges head

HOW YOU WILL KNOW YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR CALLING

A great man of GOD once said, that your vision/calling must be bigger than you! And I have found it so true. Patience is all it takes for your handwork to start yielding great fruits.  And for you to know  that you have truly found your calling, I have below these points I got from my research: IT IS BIGGER THAN YOU:  Your calling must be so big that without a team of people, you cannot complete it on your own.  IT IS FAMILIAR:  It comes not just by looking forward to what you will do but by also looking back at what you have done. IT IS SOMETHING OTHER PEOPLE SEE IN YOU:  Sometimes, our skills are most obvious to those who know us best! IT IS CHALLENGING: It must be difficult enough that not anyone can do it IT REQUIRES FAITH:  You cannot explain it. It must be mysterious.  IT IS MORE THAN JUST ONE THING:   It will integrate well with the rest of your life, not competing with, but complementing your top priorities. IT TAKES TIME:  You must walk i

WHEN A MAN CULTIVATES THE RIGHT SEED IN THE LIFE OF HIS WIFE, SHE WILL SING HIS PRAISE, PROTECT HIS INTEREST AND EVEN REMAIN FAITHFULL AFTER HE IS GONE!

Hello There!  I hope your day is going well. I came across an interview granted by Bianca Ojukwu,  the wife of Late Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Former Head of State of the Republic of Biafra and leader of the Igbos and also a prominent figure in the issues of nation building in Nigeria,  and I thought I should share these particular paragraphs that caught my attention with you. Please read:  As I said in my tribute, he was not just a husband, he was also a friend, a mentor and I was very protective of him. Whereas people would think that the role ought to be reversed, I was very protective of him. I was worried more about certain situations that I felt might endanger his life. We had such a strong bond and I was involved in every aspect of his life, it was like two people living one life. I remember when doctors were asking me to leave the room when things got quite bleak and I told them I could not leave, they thought I was getting too emotional. I told them if

WISDOM FOR LIVING!

Would like to share with you a few of my favourite Wisdom Verses From The Bible. Wisdom as it is written,  is profitable to direct.... Job 28:28 "And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding". Proverbs 3:7 "Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." Proverbs 4:5-7 "Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Proverbs 14:8 "The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit." Proverbs 16:16 "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and t

MAKE YOUR HOME A HAVEN- AN OASIS!!!

Hello There.... Once heard someone joke that home is the place where family members go when they are tired of being nice to other people. Unfortunately some homes actually seem to work that way. A salesman spends his day treating his clients with kindness in order to build his business, but he's rude to his wife when he comes home. Or a doctor spends the day being caring and compassionate with her patients, but comes home exhausted and blows up at her children. To build a strong family, you have to make your home a supportive environment.  Psychologist William James said, "In every person from the cradle to the grave, there is a deep craving to be appreciated." Feeling appreciated brings out the best in people. And when that appreciation comes in the home and is coupled with acceptance, love, and encouragement, the bonds between family members grow, and the home becomes a safe haven for everyone.  Photo credit : Xymonau

THE ESSENCE OF MARRIAGE

Image
WISHING ME AND MY DEAREST HUSBAND A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY..... Just an overview of my thought about why marriage is good.... You build a union  that is recognised,  legally and spiritually.   You enjoy a longer life. Because research has it that having someone to share your life with is beneficial to your mental well-being.   You Share your lives with each other, support each other through challenging times, share happy and successful times together.  Because no matter how wealthy you are and you do not have someone to share your lives with, it could be a big problem at the long run. Moreover, sharing/talking is a mutual thing between two people or more as the case may be. Whereby such is done by just one person....you know what that means! You are committed to each other for life.  You enjoy more of safe and great emotional intimacy with your spouse.   These are just a few of why I think marriage is good for those who long to be

WATCH THEM BLOSSOM

Image
Like well groomed flowers.... People rise or fall to meet our level of expectation for them. If you express scepticism and doubt in others, they will return your lack of confidence with mediocrity. But if you believe in them and expect them to do well, they will wear themselves out trying to be the best they can be because someone believes in their ability to go beyond boarders...and in the process, both of you benefit.  If you have never been one to trust people and believe in their abilities, change your way of thinking and begin believing in people GOD has placed on your destiny path. When you express your confidence in people, you give him or her an incredible gift, maybe the best gift you can give to another person. Give money and it will soon be spent, give resources and it may not be used to the greatest advantage,  but give them your faith, and they become confident, energized, and self reliant. They become motivated to acquire what they need to succeed o

A LESSON TO LEARN

Beware of house helps!!! A disturbing video of how a nanny brutally maltreated a little girl has gone viral on the Internet and other social media since Friday, the 21st of November. This is so painful and unbelievable. I could not continue watching the video. I cried and screamed my heart out. How wicked could a human being be to the extent of such an inhuman act towards a little helpless child? The nanny felt no single pity for the child. My GOD! The world has gone so cold! Imagine if the parents of the little girl didn't install the video, how long this mean, barbaric, heartless, wicked act would have continued. Maybe the worse would have happened.  Please parents.....slow down with the rate at which you pursue career, leaving your childrens' life and destiny at the mercy of house helps and nannies. The heart of man is desperately wicked. And what makes you think the house help is happy being a house help in the first place. Given a better opportunit

HEALTH TIPS FOR YOUR WEEKEND DELIGHT... I want to share with you the 3 healthy foods in my daily diets...They work for me very well.. SARDINES Photo credit : Krayker Sardines are one of the best sources of heart-healthy, mood-boosting omega- 3 fats and they are parked with Vitamin D which is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases. Sardines do not harbour lots of toxins as bigger fish can because they are small and low on the food chain.

GUARD YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE

Image
Your Heart is the most important life tool you have. It matters most of all, not your skills or experiences or knowledge! Why You Must Guard Your Heart..... Because your heart is extremely valuable. It is not something you should handle casually-like it does not matter. It is the essence of who you are. It is your authentic self- the core of your being. It is where all your dreams, passions and desires live. Your heart is that part of you that connects with GOD and people- your family, friends and colleagues alike. If your spiritual heart dies, your vision/leadership dies. This is why King Solomon says "Above all else", make it your top priority. Because everything you do flows from it. King Solomon says "it is the wellspring of life". Meaning that, your heart is the source of everything in your life. Your heart overflows into thoughts, words and action. If your heart is unhealthy, it has an impact on everything else. It threatens your famil

POSITIVE VIBES- THE WORDS WE SPEAK

YOU HAVE WHAT YOU SAY  Our Words are powerful tools in our hands with which we create as well as alter circumstances that are not in tandem with our desires and interests. Even as a tiny spectrum of the body, is richly empowered with such rare ability to add, subtract, build, re-create and rework events to suit the individual who is knowledgeable about its power and effect. The outcome of our experiences are traceable to our line of confession because we live in the words that we speak as our lives take the shape of our spoken words. Therefore for you to experience fulfilment in every area of your life, you have the responsibility of charting the cause of events with words that are in sync with your anticipated reality. The scripture said that life and death is in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). The words you speak can  give life or cause death. Some people have died, hopes dashed, as a result of something said. But people also live because of something said! Tongues can m

LIKE STARS ON EARTH

Image
Has anyone seen this movie, "Like Stars on Earth? It is a must watch, most especially if you are a parent or you hope to be one in the future. The movie is about a young lad of 9years old, who had difficulties with recognising letters and spellings. In his words, he said "the letters are dancing", and truly, the letters were dancing in his head. He struggled with this for a long time and expressed his inabilities by being very stubborn and unattentive. His parents, especially the father could not understand him. They called him different names like stubborn, empty head and all sorts of heart hurting and discouraging words. But what they refused to recognise about their son was that he was very good with arts. He could draw very well. He was exceptionally gifted with arts. It took a teacher who payed close attention to details to understand the need of the child because he could resonate with the little boys challenge given that he had similar issues whi
