REFLECTION

Trying to be every where because you are searching for something will only get you more confused and more vulnerable. Be who you are and get better. It is very easy to fall prey when you are desperate. Focus. The intents of our hearts are known by GOD alone; It doesn't matter how many people you cluster your life with. 

THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT BEING AFRAID...FEAR IS A KILLER.

Didn't GOD say, fear not for I am with you?  Didn't HE say, do not be afraid or discouraged?  I have heard people say that it is normal to be afraid because we are human beings, but the truth is  as much as people might want you to believe that it is normal to be afraid, one of the secrets of doing brave things is to not be afraid.   The moment you start being afraid of what people might say, you are being careful and playing it safe, that is when you fail.  I was a victim of always minding what people would say and eventually, the result was not a good one. If you must accomplish your goals in life, you need to be brave. No matter how far fetched your desired goals seem, take that leap of faith and give it your best shot. All you need do is to aim your bow and release your faith to hit the target.  Remember, Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego; even when their lives were threatened,  they refused to be afraid.  They were brave to face any situation and they overcame. 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Do not do things because others are doing it. Learn what your purpose is and go for it. Trying to be someone you are not,  is the worst thing you can do to yourself. 

THINK ABOUT THESE "WHAT IFS?....

What If your skill is hidden somewhere in that harsh and difficult situation you are in right now?  What If the heartbreak was a necessary part of the path to finding your purpose?  What If the disappointment was actually an opportunity posing at your face?  Like a baby that's born,  all the pain and dirt, became the most beautiful thing. So, most times, wildernesses a'int only about shame, suffering,  but also a place where you discover who you truly are before your assignment becomes clear - your very essence of being!

WHEN YOU KEEP GOING BACK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS TREATED YOU BADLY, OR IS TREATING YOU BADLY, YOU ARE EMPOWERING THE PERSON TO GAIN TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOU.

BUILD YOUR CHILD'S CHARACTER FROM THE CRADLE.

Image
As parents, our goal is not only to get our children to obey orders, but to also build their characters. Help them develop healthy conscience. Help them to have the sense of right doing.  Start to build and develop your child's character from the cradle. When you overlook certain behaviours that your infant exhibits without correcting him/her, you are telling her "yeah go ahead, it's very okay and normal to behave that way because you're still a baby". And you'll see your child grow in that manner, because your little child does not know what is right or wrong.  However, It is our duty as parents to build our children's character, teach them good decorum.  So, whatever negative attitude you see your infact exhibit,  correct him/her before it becomes who he/she is. The Bible says " you discipline the one you love"(Hebrew 12:6, Revelation 3:19) .  By building your children's character, which involves a whole lot, for example reb

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

As much as people would want to believe that there are too many bad people in the world,  there are still very good people living the good life.  I strongly believe that only good will continue to come my way. And whatever the enemy meant for evil, will always turn around for my good.  How about you?

DO NOT STOP BELIEVING! HELP IS ON THE WAY!

Most times,  people judge you by your looks, but they wouldn't know what you might have gone through to be where you are.  Few years ago, as a fresh graduate, was still looking for a job, I remember trekking a very long distance from a friend's house back to my house because I didn't have money for transportation and the friend didn't bother to offer me a ride even though she had a car and knew I was not buoyant enough. Sounds crazy, but it was a very long journey though,  but I trekked it.  Today,  things are beautifully different because I never stopped believing. I refused to take the short cut, though that seemed like the only option I had. I stayed strong in my faith and never gave up.  There's someone out there who is about to throw in the towel.  But do not! Just hang in there. Do not give up.  It is not over yet as long as you are alive. Faith is all you need to see the light in the midst of that dark situation. See yourself as GOD sees you - ho

JUST A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF LEONARDO DA VINCI..... (DEPLOY YOUR ABILITIES THE BEST WAY YOU CAN)

He could draw a leaf or a hand, a fern or a rock, in ways miraculous to behold. No one ever matched his renditions of light and shade, or his genius for investing a flat surface with a scene of haunting mystery. Yet, for Leonardo da Vinci-creator of the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper-artistic greatness was but one of his incredible endowments.  Leonardo da Vinci was amazed by everything: a baby's smile, birds in flight, the pageant of the planets. He loves the human face and form, and sketching an absorbing gallery of warriors, crones, old men and bodies with the skin peeled off to reveal the architecture of ligaments and muscles.  Leonardo is still known as the most gifted man who ever lived simply because he indulged in exploring his abilities beyond the boarders and matching his potentials to possibilities he was exposed to. Realign yourself towards deploying your abilities the best way you can...No Excuses.

MY WEEKEND BEAUTY TIPS- FACE SCRUBBING

Image
Happy weekend friends.  Hope you all are having a great time... I Just want to share with you one of my beauty tips. Face scrubbing.  How often do you give your face a treat? It is not only by using a good soap to wash your face which is not bad, but your face needs more than using soap and water.  Face scrubbing helps to remove dead cells and accumulated dirts. These dead cells leave your face looking old and worn out. Facial scrubs help to rejuvenate your tired face, giving it a glow and younger look. There are lots of good and very affordable facial scrubs at the beauty stores. Why not give your face some treats without having to spend a fortune.....

HOW WELL DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER?

An open and a free flowing communication between couples is very vital in the realisation of a truly healthy and fulfilling relationship. Some couples find it difficult to enjoy even a minute or two of a cordial,  intimate, constructive,  insightful ,benefitting conversation with each other without ending up in a very serious argument.   It is sad to know that the only time some couples enjoy free flowing communication is when they are in the midst friends. If you cannot communicate freely when you are dating, you can't either, when you are married.  You and your mate should be able to feel a great contentment and fulfilment when you talk and share your feelings, opinions, plans, ideas etc.  A relationship that lacks effective communication is always edgy and full of turbulence and would very likely not last.  Set your priorities right and know what you want. Most times, the signs are glary, but we ignore them.

VISUALISE YOUR SUCCESS....

Close your eyes, at lease for some minutes and visualise your success. See yourself achieving all your set goals... That's the  power of imagination.  When we were teenagers, my younger sister talked so much about the power of imagination and how she was creating the future she desired... but I had little or no understanding of what that meant. She had a very strong imagination that played out perfectly well in the cause of events and I see her live the dreams she constantly spoke of as a teen.  As I grew up, I began to have an understanding of what it means to visualise and imagine the kind of future I desired. This might sound like a cliché, but it is an amazing experience to see your future play out by being actively involved in the creative process...through your imaginations; For example, I didn't just wake up one morning and decided to start blogging...I knew I wanted to inspire people but I didn't know how, but as I engaged in the creative process of realising m

IDENTIFYING WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN OUR LIVES....BY A NEMERULEZ BLOG LOVER, REAGAN SPENCER

Have you taken time to critically evaluate the way you have lived since the beginning of this year? It is important that we spend some time to think about the activities we have given our time to and the things we have prioritised.  Most often, we are not aware of how much we have limited ourselves either by being complacent or by engaging in the wrong activities; sometimes the wrong activities might not necessarily be illegal or immoral, but completely parallel to a purpose driven life. The essence of this piece is to help us understand as well as think through what is really important in our lives. Life can be so engaging such that the demand for your time and attention will be on the high even to a point where priorities are misplaced. When there is a drift away from what is ideal, most often, it is not a sharp drift that impacts us harshly like the death of a loved one or loss of job, or any of such sharp drifts...but while we pay attention to the urgent things and leave o

HOW THANKFUL ARE YOU?

My mom thought my siblings and I how to say "thank you" no matter how little or big the gesture is.  Most times, my spouse, my friends (colleagues) are surprised at how much of those magic words come out of my mouth at a very seemingly small gesture. Thanks to my mother. That is why it is important for mothers to know how much influence they have on their children.  You can never be thankful enough my dear friend,  because you have no idea how much someone  out there needs care, but no one to come through for them.  So, even if it is a piece of handkerchief, accept it with a cheerful heart and say "thank you ". GOD blesses a genuinely grateful heart. It pays to be thankful.  Do not wait for the big things to be thankful! Start with the little!  Have a beautiful week. 

NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT- THE ATTITUDE OF A VICTOR! HAPPY NEW WEEK FRIENDS!!!

Happy New Week friends. I am so excited about this week and I hope you are too.  Just want to encourage us all to keep at it. Discover your area of specialty (it is not too late to start). Keep putting in your best, even though you might not be getting the best response. Be faithful. Keep believing that one day your time will come. I know that there is every tendency to feel like giving up or maybe trying out an illegal way of making a quick money.  As tempting as that might seem, please do not get involved in any foul play. There is no gain in it. Always know that there is a reward for those who persist in doing good. Evil does not prevail over good. So as you go out there this week, bear in mind that you are a conqueror and conquerors do not accept defeat. They win.  Situations may beat you face down, but you know what, get back up and knock it off! A victor never says never!  That should be your attitude this week.  Learn to overcome your challenges by knowing who y
