CELEBRATING THIS GREAT WOMAN!

Image
Just want to celebrate Mrs. Ihuoma Laura Nwodo, my adorable sister, wife and a mother. She is an epitome of beauty, strength, courage, determination. I admire her qualities, most is her ability to suck in challenges and beam you those beautiful smiles whenever you meet her. She does not allow challenges to take the best of her, or affect her relationship with folks. If she does not tell you her needs, you will never know she needs any.  She is also a writer, a singer. You can follow her on her instagram @omashines for some amazing real life quotes. Cheers all.....and have a great evening. 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

We make a living by what we get. And we make a life by what we give. Giving is a calling and not everyone has the liberty to give willingly.

SEE WHAT STRONG FATHERS PRODUCE!

Image
Someone once said that, Fathers who lead their homes out of inner strength, produce daughters who like their femininity, because Dad is secure with them and relates to them as women, and as a result drawing out their femaleness.  I agree! This is so true! And I will add by saying that if a father is egocentric, weak and distant, he will produce daughters who are unsure of themselves and insecure of who they are! The same with boys, who grow up without a strong father! They would start to engage in unhealthy activities to prove themselves as men and to gain the approval that a weak dad fails to give.  This is the order of the day in most homes, whereby the duty of raising godly children are left for the moms alone! This should not be! I call it a perversion of the divine order, whereby a man leaves his ordained duty to his wife- practically giving up his office! Then he gets angry when GOD starts blessing the woman and equipping her with all the necessary resources she nee

YOUR OBSESSION TO BE "PERFECT"

A lady once shared her life experience, and her obsession of wanting to have a perfect image, by trying to become like the "perfect" images in the make-believe world.  She eventually broke free from the destructive grip of her obsession. Here's what she said, I am actually paraphrasing ok, not quoting her word for word.  Your obsession to be prefect will: Keep you trapped in loneliness; to have a satisfying relationship, it must be built in honesty and openness.  Force you to see your shortcomings as something to hide, instead of opportunities for growth.   Prevent you from enjoying and appreciating what you are right now, and ensuring to becoming a better person.  Rob you of the chance of making your life count, because by focusing on yourself, you will have nothing left to give to others!   Search your soul, you find out who GOD has made you to be. It might seem dormant because it has not been in use, but it is not silent. Take your time an

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Anybody who ever beat the odds or made a difference, did it in spite of their fear!  Do not ever get tired of hearing this. Fear has the ability to bring your vision to a halt! That is why I am passionate about letting people know they can overcome, no matter their situation; no matter their fear!  You see, most of the great achievers will tell you how fear was a strong opponent to their visions, but they succeeded because, either they were desperate and felt like they had no choice,  or they were inspired by someone else's example, or they were angry at their situation, or they were moved by the need, or they did not even think much about it at all, in order not to change their minds.  What is your case? What is driving you?  Are you tired of your situation? What are you waiting for? A feeling of courage?  Sometimes it doesn't ever come. All you need it to get on with your GOD-GIVEN ideas! Start!  From my experience so far, I have learnt that you are only cou

A PRAYER FOR PARIS!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Keep some good news to yourself, and share only with your family. Stop making your family affairs public! Wisdom is profitable to direct. The truth is, the heart of man is desperately wicked! A word is enough for the wise!  From my Mentor. 

REFLECTION

It is good to look after your outer self, but if you keep working only on these outer things, you will find yourself looking in the mirror to find your value! Haven't you seen people who went broke fixing up the outside and still be lonely and alone? Time to reflect!

WHEN WOMEN COME TOGETHER!

Image
Women have a strong work force. It is just how GOD made us.  Imagine what we can achieve together as a church, as a nation, if we can channel our energy to supporting one another instead of gossiping and fighting one another.  In the entertainment industry for instance, women are the highest fans. Women have the ability to go all the way! Women have an awesome strength. Another example is in a church where you have a strong women's group, the church's growth is inevitable.  Ok, let me share with you my encounter some weeks ago. I was invited to this forum on watsapp, and most of them are women.  From time to time people shared their thoughts, but the day I posted just one link of one of my blog posts, some women, including the lady that invited me on the forum attacked me and told me not to advertise my blog on the forum that they do not want to be distracted. How could a beautiful message distract anyone? I was shocked to say the least. I could not believe it

WHY YOU MUST CONQUER FEAR!

Anyone ever heard of the name, Florence Chadwick? She was the first woman to swim from England to France in 1951. This also made her the first woman to swim the English channel in both directions, setting a time record each time.  Guess what? She failed on her first attempt! She was only one mile away from her destination when she quit! What stopped her? A thick fog! When she saw the fog, doubts set in. She doubted her ability- that she will never make it. When she was pulled out of the water, she discovered she was just a mile away to actualising her set goal! she broke down and cried. But she did not quit!  Instead, two months later, she tried again, though the thick fog set in, but she made it to Catalina! She set a new world record because she refused to quit!  She overcame the fog (her fear), by seeing herself on the shoreline!  What or who is telling you that you will never make it? Or are you the one telling yourself those lies? Take another look at the word, f

WHY YOU NEED TO MAXIMISE YOUR SMALL SPACE.

Most of the time in life we seek expansion in terms of increased capacity to either be who we want to be or live the kind of life that we have always wanted to live.  One morning, my mind was prompted to think about a few things and those lines of thought inspired my awareness of how valuable and useful our small spaces are. We all have our unique capacities and most of the time, we look away from ourselves in search of what we think we do not have, while what we have remains redundant because we have not really recognised their usefulness, possibly because they do not appear in the exact mental pictures we have created.  When Moses sought GOD'S help at that point when they were faced with the dilemma of Red Sea and the Egyptian army, GOD did not tell Moses to look for an external source, he made use of the starf Moses had, but apparently, prior to that miracle, Moses did not have complete awareness of how handy that old, insignificant, ordinary starf could come in....how

REFLECTION

There is absolutely nothing wrong with knowing where you stand. You have to be careful with how much you give in places that no longer serve you respect. It is never easy to just pick up and leave, but do not waste your breath on arguments that lead to nothing but pain, guilt, low self-esteem, self destruction- totally bad energy that leads to nothing good! Stop chasing ghost wind. Do not give anyone the satisfaction to see you weak and in return, be used for an ego booster. That is no love! That is no friendship!  If someone wants to walk with you, they will. If they want to stop wasting your breath, they will! 

IS THAT A GENUINE FRIENDSHIP?

Image
Did you know that some friendships are heavy burdens?  How could you be friends with someone whom you cannot express yourself freely, without every of your words been misread? Do you really need such friendship? Such negative energy is not for a true friendship.  True friendship is when you make room for your friends, (genuine friends) not wolf in sheep clothing.  I like expressing myself and saying how I feel, and that helps my sanity. But it is very draining and stressful if i cannot say how i feel to someone i call my friend. When you struggle too hard in a relationship, then you are in a wrong place.  Strength lies in diversity. In friendship, we do not have to have similar opinions and that does not mean we cannot find a common ground to achieve the same goal. Having a sincere and constructive criticism will help to make corrections where necessary without fighting one another or gossiping.  Every words and actions must not always be misread, if your friendshi

FIND OUT WHY EXCUSES ARE DREAM KILLERS

Image
I heard a story about a man named David Ring. An outstanding preacher and speaker, who travels the world inspiring and motivating people everywhere he goes. He was born with cerebral palsy, which affected him as he was growing up. But you know what? He overcame it! Even though the disease affected his speech and motion, yet he refused to let his disability limit him. That was enough excuse for him to have decided not to work or pursue his dreams, but he did not allow "the excuse" to kill his dream!  A lot of people have too many excuses, most seem genuine, but the truth is, there is no genuine excuse as far as your destiny is concerned! Stop dwelling on your disappointments. There are no handicaps except in your mind.  Leo Tolstoy, the writer of the best seller book, War and Peace,  actually wrote the book while living in a small house with his wife and 13 children. Abraham Lincoln lost multiple jobs, went bankrupt, and failed severally before being sworn as the

WHY YOU DO NOT NEED TO CONVINCE A MAN AGAINST HIS WILL

Image
Some ladies think they can convince a man against his will and get him to change his lifestyle because of their influence on him. The truth is that a man  convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.  No doubts, he may go along with you to get what he wants from you, but reverts to his old ways the moment he achieves his aim. It is highly imperative that you do a thorough assessment of the man you are dating and planning to spend the rest of your life with, look out for his qualities, find out how he handles situations when he is under pressure, so that if you do not like what you see in him, you can do yourself good by letting him go.  Another important factor to seriously consider, even though some women overlook it because of being "head over heels" is ensuring that the man they are dating are of the same faith and belief with them. This will go a long way to determine how long a marriage will last!  The truth is, you can never change a man.

JUST STAY STRONG!

When GOD gets through working on you, all those that accused you and contributed to your low self-esteem will be ashamed. You will not have to prove anything. GOD will prove it.  People do not know and understand the battle you have been fighting, yet they judge you, especially when they see you looking well dressed. They assume all sorts of things about you. But not to worry, your time will come and they won't see it coming!  Just stay strong. 

GREAT PEOPLE HAVE A STORY!

However you choose to see life, is exactly what life will give to you. It's just like a magnet, it will only attract metals/irons. If you choose to see life as beautiful, all you will get will be beautiful, it does not matter what you have been through. Choose to see love, beauty, good, and life will bring love, beauty and good to you. Do not listen to people who tell you, life is hard. Life can only be hard for you if you choose to see it that way!  You may be going through some challenges, but you need to come to the point where you begin to see those challenges as stepping stones to your greatness. In fact, some challenges are necessary!  Have you wondered why doughs go through the kind of beating they go through, then from beating, they go straight to the oven, then voilà, a freshly baked sweet bread? The beating they go through helps them come well and beautifully baked, without any form of error! That's what the sweet breads we eat go through to become meals for

HERE IS WHAT SOMEONE SAID TODAY ABOUT CRITICISM; DO YOU AGREE?

Putting others down  and criticising them fails to prove that we have personal worth. Anyone who really understands the roots of self-esteem knows that critical people have major self-esteem problems.  Do you agree with this statement?
