YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT. BUT YOU MUST TRY. TRY AND TRY. YOU'LL SUCCEED AT LAST.

GOOD BETTER BEST....

Image
I can vividly remember one of the songs we sang in our primary school days "good better best, I shall never rest, until my good is better, and my better best." I know a lot of you can resonate with that song, and I can imagine you smiling as you take a quick stroll down memory lane, remembering the way you as u sang the song along with friends and matched down to class after words of admonition from a significant order in school.  I can tell you that as at then, those words and songs were more of daily ritual because you have to be part of the assembly and morning devotion as the case may be. They barely made sense to me as an enthusiastic, playful child obviously because my mental astuteness could neither understand the degree to which it was relevant at that tender moment in my life nor apply it to my everyday life.  Significantly, as I most often than not, in retrospect, I bask in the thoughts of the words that I heard as a little child and it's amazing to

LET'S QUIT THE JUDGEMENT SERIES

As we live life, it's important to put into cognizance the way we treat and respond to people whether they are engaged in the right activities, or their actions are off tangent with the right principles.  Here's a modest proposal: Make up your mind that for the rest of this year, you wouldn't judge your friends and people around you no matter what you experience with them or what you see them express, rather, offer to help the right kind of help that will salvage the circumstance.  Buying into judgement blurs your heart from seeing the good in people who are designed to contribute meaningfully to your life assignment. Take note of your thoughts and the things you say. Be completely aware of the times when you are being overly critical, and ask yourself why you feel that way. Are your thoughts rooted in reality, or are they coming from a place of fear and insecurity? Once you notice yourself being judgemental, you can take actions to reverse this self-destructive b

ATTITUDE TUNE-UP

1. Count your blessings daily, and give thanks. 2. Get proper rest and exercise, and start eating healthier. 3. Do not let petty office or school politics have power over your personal or professional success. Monitor what you hear, what you read, and what you say. These three components determine the outcome of your life. 4. Set aside personal time with family and close friends. 5. Help someone in need. It helps bring out your true spirit. 6. Feed your spirit daily; read and listen to inspiring books and teachings. 7. Discover the motives that motivates you, and remember, motivation is not permanent. 8. Reflect on your victories-things you've forgotten that were special. Rekindle the fire that helps you turn your right attitude into actions.  9. Create an upbeat, positive greeting that builds enthusiasm for you and everyone around you. 10. Develop a clear vision, lock into your purpose and passion, and set goals with deadlines.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

REVENGE DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS, RATHER IT DESTROYS...PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY! 

REFLECTIONS

Image
We create our own breaks as we take responsibility for our life-and that includes working hard and speaking up for ourselves. It gave Betty Ford no advantage to blame others for her problems or make excuses. Do you ever catch yourself blaming your problems or limitations on others, genetics or your environment? Maya Angelou did not allow adverse circumstances drive her life and attitudes. Do you let circumstances drive what you do in life, or do you create your own circumstances. Chuck Norris showed initiative and created his own breaks by standing up for himself and promising to do better. What level of initiative do you demonstrate when times are tough? Pause and Think!!!

IT IS SAFER WHEN YOU DO NOT LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR EMOTIONS. NEME..

DOES OPPORTUNITY COME JUST ONCE?

I grew up hearing this saying "Opportunity comes but once". In fact I was always scared whenever I heard people use this saying or when someone said it to me. One day, I realised that this saying is not true...or will I say I stopped believing in this saying. This saying has led a lot of people into terrible mistakes. People choose to suffer and smile and endure a lot of pain because they would not want to miss the so called opportunity. And I ask, does opportunity come just once? Kindly share your thoughts on this subject.

DISCIPLINE

Life is  tons of discipline- Robert Frost. Taking charge of your life requires discipline. Bottom line is that, it's quite a huge task to completely and consistently yield to discipline. This fundamental component that plays key role in your level of success demands the mental stamina to overcome empty passions and faulty habits. It also requires the fortitude to resist the push and pull of many temptations that otherwise lure us towards meaningless sideshows. But more than anything else, it demands a relentless focus on what priorities. It's a fruitless venture to live carelessly and allow fate to determine the outcome of our lives. The three dimensional areas we have looked at within the past few days work together as we deploy them consistently. Taking responsibility,  being courageous and disciplining yourself to focus on activities that are meaningful will most likely pay off materially, structurally, and otherwise. As we do the necessary, sometimes we will

A MOTHER'S INFLUENCE

Image
Mothers have great influence over their children, and this huge influence plays a key role in determining the outcome of a child's life. As you may be aware, most people who we celebrate as authorities in their field gave credits to their mothers for being their primary source of motivation and inspiration. Look at the likes of: George Washington, who was the first president of the United States of America,  we are told that his mother was pious; Sir Walter Scott, who was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and a poet, his mother was a lover of music and poetry. But it were not so in the case of Nero Caesar. He was a Roman Emperor. He was one of the most despicable characters on the stage of human history and one of the most infamous men that ever lived. He was cruel and merciless, and we are told that his mother was a murderess. This list goes on. "A mother's life is like a mirror with which the children look  at themselves"(quote from me). When

HAVING COURAGE

Courage is the quality of a confident character not to be afraid or intimidated easily but without  being incautious or inconsiderate. There is a connection between courage and wisdom. Most importantly, courage can be displayed in heroic, visible ways, or in quiet, private battles we fight when attempting to conquer inner fears.  In the journey of life, courage plays a very key role in helping us advance even in the midst of threatening circumstances. However, our display of courage not only reveals our state of heart but exposes our content of character.  A couple of people have displayed courage in heroic and seemingly small or insignificant ways, because our stories and life experiences  have formed us to a very large extent.  Having a deeper "yes" burning inside gives us the courage to fight and defeat fear and run towards "something better," including our dreams and the principles we stand for.  REFLECTIONS: Think of a specific situation in

QUIT FEAR...TRY SOME MORE!

Hello There.... This week marks the beginning of a woking year in 2015 because  most organizations resumed from the christmas and new year break.  As I interfaced with a few persons with regard to plans and anticipated goals for the year, amazingly the feedbacks I got were very different given the divergent ideologies, perceptions and faith levels of folks. Apparently, some are excited to hit the market place, while some are filled with fear....of the the unknown, fear of failing...again, fear of fear of making mistakes, and exude anxiety-filled comments. They are neither encouraged nor inspired for reasons or excuses they have decided to hold on to. They do not even know where to start because they are overwhelmed by circumstances around them...bills to pay, intensive work to juggle with, habits that haven't been dealt with, shaky relationship, questionable motives of people who come around...and all and all and all.  However, in the midst of all these, the profound

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

I believe that every right implies a responsibility;every opportunity an obligation, every possession a duty. Nelson Rockefeller When life doesn't go the direction we planned or we inadvertently make mistakes, it is so easy to make excuses, blame every circumstance associated with the event, assign blame to parents for not paying our bills, argue that the circumstances were flawed and all of that. But then, we only make progress in life to the extent that we take full responsibility for the choices we make and the turn out of activities.  When we make the choice to take responsibility for our lives, we be on top of our game and put forth the initiative necessary to create out own circumstances.  Sometimes when I share my experiences in the journey of creating my own life circumstances, some folks tend to marvel at how the events connect perfectly, very timely and in tandem with anticipated results. That's what you experience when you take responsibility for

TAKING CHARGE

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Will Rogers The search for meaning inspires us to create a blueprint for the contributions we want to make in life, a daily standard against which we can chart our course and measure progress. But the reality is that nothing of substance will happen until we take charge of our life and accept responsibility for bringing our dreams into fruition. These efforts require fearless discipline and focused energy on what matters most.  Principles that enable us to take charge of life include: Responsibility Courage Discipline Join me in this ride as I discuss them in detail in my subsequent updates.

MIND WHAT YOU SPEAK. ...PART ONE

I remember as a kid, my mom pasted some wise sayings in our room and she made me and my siblings memorise them everyday. One of those articles said "what you speak is what you are...be positive". As children, we had little or no knowledge about what my mom was trying to do, nor did we understand the meaning of those wise sayings even when she tried explaining them to us. But one thing was significant,  my siblings and I were excited reading and craming those articles on the wall, which later on became a great help to us. We literally started being mindful of how we talked because of that particular saying..."what you speak is what you are...be positive" even when we did not have a full understanding of what it/they meant. As a result, we realised that "you are what you speak".  Have you noticed that; those who speak most of prosperity have it? those who speak freedom have it? those who speak health have it? those who speak poverty have it? those

IT IS TIME TO DREAM

Image
Someone ones said, That life ends when you stop dreaming and Hope ends when you stop believing... How true! You can never attain that great height if you have never thought or dreamt of it. The same as a farmer, he cannot expect to have a harvest without sowing. Dreams are like seeds. They give birth to opportunities which later produce great success. In this year 2015, I want to let us all know that we have all the time to achieve whatever we desire if we can dream it. The mind is a place where your destiny is birthed. That is why you must guard your mind with only the things that will help you attain that great height you desire(good thoughts). Dreaming invokes more energy, more initiative and more happiness. When you dream, you are half way to achieving your desired goals. Show me a man without a dream, and i will show you a man without purpose. For example, if your dream this year is to have that "single friend" who will stand by your side even when hundreds are

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year friends.  I have been looking forward to the year 2015. I have an exceptional thought and views about the year 2015 even right from when i was a kid. I am so excited to see this year. There is something unique about this year. This year is convincingly great. You cannot afford to entertain any form of doubt. Have you heard any promise concerning this year?  Have you been prophesied to? Do you have plans and visions for this year? Whatever your thoughts are? Hold on to the promises GOD has made to you concerning this year. Because as for me, I am very sure that this year is great. Let your mind be focused on the word of GOD.  Do not try to do anything on your own, that is where you will get it all wrong. The Bible says you should trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  So if you must succeed this year in all that you have set out this year, make GOD your only source.  There is nothing too hard or too insignificant that you cann

BEING SENSITIVE....PART TWO

Sensitivity is an issue which has different connotations, interpretation and different understanding. I believe people's background and experiences also affect their level of sensitivity. being sensitive to me means I understand the other person's needs and therefore act accordingly to ensure my actions are in due consideration to that person's needs. Also being sensitive could  mean you react delicately and more personal to different issues.  I see sensitivity as a good aspect of any human because you tend to  understand people a lot easier, care for both their immediate needs which are either emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. You put yourself in people's shoes, and the tendency to judge them only based on your own mindset diminishes. I think I'd rather be a sensitive person than not.  A lot of people may think that being sensitive makes you prone to hurt, pain and disappointments. But I strongly believe being sensitive makes you more acc

BEING SENSITIVE.. PART ONE

Being Sensitive is when one is able to detect or respond to slight changes physically or emotionally (even when the change is not obvious to many). These changes could be in your relationship with your spouse, family members, friends, colleagues, environment or anywhere you find yourself. No matter the negative side of being sensitive, the advantage supersedes the negatives. Being sensitive, you are able to understand the feelings of others and aware of their needs, and by so, you will behave in a way that will make them feel good rather than hurting them. The world is filled with insensitive people, that is why a friend could comfortably step on a friend's toe without filling a pinch about how the other feels, or you hear of a man cheating on his wife and do not feel that he is doing the wrong thing, or a business colleague cheating his/her partner...the list goes on. If the world could be half as sensitive, it would be a better place for us all trust me.  For Instance,

THE ENDLESS NEED FOR MATURITY

Maturity is important for everyday living. Dealing with life issues involve high level of maturity. It is not as simple as ABC but it can also be as simple as ABC. When you approach life issues with maturity, you are more in control and the very things that seem complex and stressful become as easy as you make them to be. From your relationship with your husband, to your relationships with members of your family and extended  ones, even to your relationship with your colleagues at work and friends, and life in general, approaching all of these with maturity can never be over emphasised. You enjoy more peace while you over look those things that can potentially get in the way of your peace and happiness, as well as develop a better reasoning/ acumen to see things through the Eyes of others.  With maturity also comes due consideration for others. You also learn to ignore a lot of negative signals purposefully put in place to cause aggravation.   We can go on and on...   Why not

PREPARATION IS IMPORTANT WHEN A NEW THING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN

Change as often as it occurs in our lives remains a constant irrespective of our readiness to embrace that kind of change at that time in our lives.  Most often than not, the changes tend to impose themselves on us by creating life circumstances that we are not ready to deal with.  However,  changes do happen and our state of mind goes a long way to determine how we respond or react to the new things that spring up as outcome of changes we are faced with.  When preparation meets an opportunity,  there is a high tendency that success will be inevitable. In the same spirit,  it is always very important to expect and get ready for changes. Let me help you understand. Most people find  it hard to deal with expected or unexpected changes because they have not resolved the conflict between change and stagnation. They enjoy the routine, they do not adjust the itinerary,  the children attend the same school from start to finish,  same pattern of breakfast, same style of expressin
