"GIVE THANKS"

Image
Among the best things that you are able to do is to have gratitude; for everything that you have, everything that you've done, for all the individuals in your life, and for the procedure of unfolding and development.  Gratitude is among the higher vibrations in this life and it draws in a super-flow in your life.  Without gratitude one may get arrogant, and isolated.   Till you truly look at all that you have, and treasure all that you have been given, things may not make any meaning to you.  Did you have anything to do with your appearance?  Or your eye color? Or an utterly healthy body?  Or where you were born? Not at all. Give thanks for all that has been provided for you. Think, that you are able to see distinctly the trees and beauty around you, that you are able to take a breath of fresh air, that today and just where you are, you are capable of so many things.  Be thankful for the knowledge you have learned. Be thankful for those who love you.  Be thankful

"THE LITTLE THINGS"

Image
There was a man taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide withdrew, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die.  The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who could not understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one." Enjoy the little things, they actually make huge difference!

"MUSIC- FOOD TO THE SOUL"

Image
We all know that music relaxes the mind and relieves stress. Music is food to the soul- I know that too well. Music has really helped me in so many ways, so I thought I could share just a little bit of the research I made on music lately. Well, it has been researched that music has a positive effect on dementia- a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes and impaired reasoning.  Actually, in a research that was published on the Journal of Clinical Nursing showed that music has a positive effect on activity, recognition and mentality of the dementia patients. They strongly recommended music therapy because of its major role in improving the quality and functionality of life.  It does not cost any money to listen to music you love often, anytime, anywhere because it is an important factor in living a healthy life! So let the music play!!!

THE STRENGTH OF YOUR WORDS!

Image
Why are your words so inconsistent with your actions? Worse still, why are you sabotaging your dreams with your very own words? People want to be successful, yet they are being "so humble" about it? You compliment someone and all you will hear is, "I am managing, I am not all that o". Yet this person wants to be successful? Your life is shaped by what you say. The Proverbs say: “A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” You tongue is your master tool. Every word you say is another stroke on the canvas of your life. So why do you say "I am managing"? Why being "so humble" about it? Declare your stand as the heir to the Kingdom and forget the lies that you have to be "humble" about it. When you face hardships, are the situations humble about dealing with you so hard? No! So you shouldn't be hu

ENVY IS A PROBLEM!

Image
Are you unhappy because others are succeeding? Does your success seem dependent on someone else’s failure? Are you always wanting to keep up with the neighbours and wanting to have the things that your neighbours have? I see this as being envious of another. Envy is a problem- it doesn't matter the size, you can never be satisfied with what you achieve, no matter how much you have achieved. It doesn't matter the size, we should never entertain envy because if not dealt with,  the "small envy" will mature into jealousy, greed, resentment, and a strong desire to have what another has at all cost!  See friend, if you are envious of another, it means you do not even have a clue about what you want for your life.  But you see, GOD has made us all unique in different ways, and that another is succeeding now does not mean you won't succeed tomorrow. You must have the winning mindset, that is the only sure way to succeed, no matter what your situation is at t

WHAT EXERCISE DOES TO YOU!

Image
Apart from reducing weight and strengthening muscles, exercise also gives many benefits to our health, such as reducing death risk, but mostly benefits the heart! The enhancement of blood circulation caused by exercises is good for heart muscles and blood vessels. Exercise enables the lung to function effectively, thereby strengthening the heart as well. It also enables the distribution of blood.  Exercise reduces the risk of blood clots in arteries. This is so because if the arteries are blocked as a result of blood clots, it will lead to the reduction of the blood that is going to the heart, which could cause fatal disorder such as heart attack or cardiac infarction.  Exercise also helps to reduce blood pressure, blood sugar, and Lipids, infection, weight, yet it increases the high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which also helps to maintain to maintain the good state of the heart. it is also important to avoid greasy food, cigarettes and to reduce weight. Exercise maint

EVERYONE HAS A STORY!

Image
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted… “Dad, look the trees are going behind!” Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed… “Dad, look the clouds are running with us!” The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man… “Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said… “I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today. Every single person on the planet has a story. Do not judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you!

LET YOUR HUSBAND KNOW HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE HIM...

Image
You know those little everyday things your husband does, like school runs, buying groceries, washing off socked clothes, remembering to buy what you said in passive that you needed, calling you from work to check up on you even in his very busy schedule, saying "I love you? Do not take them for granted.  A lot of men do not support their wives, and they feel those things are not their responsibilities. So if you are one of the favoured ones, make sure your husband knows how much you appreciate his efforts. The so-called little things are not little at all. They are actually what keep us going. So always tell your husband how grateful you are for all the help he gives you.  By appreciating your husband's efforts, he will be very much motivated, encouraged and happy to keep doing the good works he is doing, EVEN BETTER.  And most importantly, always thank GOD for giving you such a wonderful husband.

HOW ABOUT SOME AFFIRMATIONS TO START YOUR DAY.

I can do all things through CHRIST which strengthens me. I am blessed and highly favoured. Today is beautiful. I have the resources I need to succeed. I am abundantly supplied. Money flows easily and effortless and frequently to me. I am prosperous. The Universe favours me, and life is good. I have the power to transform my situation into a better one. I see abundance. The lines fall unto my paths in pleasant places.

...LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

Image
No matter how good a woman is, she can never be good enough to a man who is not ready.  A lot of women (if not all of us) had been victims to such circumstance, whereby they gave their all to a man who even in 100 years to come was never ready to get married. You see the woman all frustrated and worn because her loyalty is not recognised and appreciated.  Why do women still stay in such relationships even after seeing the hand writings on the wall? Please share your thoughts on this friends? You might just be saving someone right now. Cheers...

What have you done today to move you closer to your dreams? Are you expecting to wake up one morning and suddenly do everything to achieve your dream in just that one day? Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” Success is a daily habit. It is the little things you do everyday that will get you to your destination. Time to get on it! Wishing you all a great week!

I SEE A FLICKER OF LIGHT. DO YOU SEE IT?

Image
Are you going through a hard time that you are wondering if you'd ever make it through?  Do you feel you have already done your best, that you have fought so hard already and still the battle seems so far from being won? Perhaps you have been hurt by another.  Or perhaps you have lost someone so close to you that you wonder how you'd ever live your days again. Take heart for you are never alone! In your darkest hours, in your weakest, you'd find the strength you need to carry on.  In the most hopeless of situations, a helping hand will be with you, and things will turn around for your good. HE TURNED IT FOR ME! Try not to think of the many days ahead, think only of today and be very positive about your tomorrow for it can only get better! Now is the time to stand for your right as the heir to the Kingdom and bask in GODS love for you.  That is all that matters!  Every difficult task that comes across your path – every one that you would rather not do

THE THINGS WE FEARED MOST!

Image
Once we hit rock bottom, many of our fears depart from us. We realize that the thing we feared most has already happened, but we are still alive.  We have feared our lack of possessions, but we realize that even without such things, we are still ourselves. We have feared our lack of power, but we realize that even without that, we have the power to do something else, something good and something beautiful. We realize that even in our simple lives, the important things remain! Does anyone know what I'm talking about?  You must never let your true self die because of situations. You know, these things don't last-they do not! Several times I have been there, then I realised "really, so I made it through? This isn't even as bad and as fearful as it looked". And you know what? I got back up! Well that's what fear does- it feeds your mind and soul with lies and if you are not careful, you may never make it through.  A lot of people have hit rock bo

WHY YOU FEEL YOU ARE GIVING MORE THAN YOU ARE RECEIVING?

Image
Some people are givers, they have much to give to others and many people benefit from their generosity.   There are times however when these people give so much that they feel drained from within without being replenished. Have you ever felt like that? Have you ever felt as though you are giving more than you are receiving? Most times it is because:  We want to please others and win their love. We want to please others and avoid confrontations. We do not want to hurt people and fail their expectations. Oh this part is where I will like to elaborate on. Let me share a story with you, friends.  I kind of became friendly with this woman in my local church and in a very short time, I had given so much and I did not complain at all. I guess she thought I had all the money (of course I have all the money lol), so she asked me to lend her some huge figures. I told her I didn't have that but I could spare some fractions and she needed not to pay me back. She was shocke

REFLECTION

When you visualise what you want, your negative frame of mind serves like an obstacle preventing you from getting your desires met! What you visualized has already manifested in the intangible world, yet the manifestations are precluded from reaching you because of your mind. So if you are still negative, you MUST first work on your mental state- setting your mind right to think only the positive thoughts! Once you get your mental state right, visualization will act as the acceleration of the manifestation of your goals.

CHANGE YOUR SELF-TALK

Image
There are some criticisms that trigger more hurtful thoughts within us, deeper wounds that have not yet been healed. The reason why some people seem to over-react to certain criticisms is because they are reacting to a far deeper pain, a pain triggered by the criticism just given. We can discover these wounds by listening to our self-talk whenever we are being criticized. When somebody points out your mistake or says anything bad against you, what are you really hearing? Why are you hearing those words? Is it possible to replace them with other thoughts that are more supportive of your self-esteem? GOD never rejects HIS own and HE has given us willpower too.   So instead of feeling low or rejected when people criticise you, see yourself the way GOD sees you! Do you even know how GOD sees you? Take your time and find out what GOD has said concerning you! Just in case you don't know, I want to tell you that you are the apple of GODS' eye! Change your self-talk! Instea

"SURE WAYS TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING"

Image
I read this short article earlier today and I thought I should share it with you- very edifying! Please read: Have a simple and unassuming manner of life.  Live not to eat, but eat to live. Bear no envy.  Commit no slander.  Speak no falsehood. Do not live a pretentious life.  Practise no deceit.  Harbour nomalice. You will be ever joyful, happy and peaceful. Righteousness is the rule of life. Lead a virtuous life. Human life is not human without virtues. Study the lives of saints and draw inspiration from them. Cultivate a melting heart, the giving hand, the kindly speech, the life of service, equal vision, and impartial attitude. Your life will, indeed, be blessed. Live right. Let your life become a continuous sacrifice to God. Trust in GOD.  Life is the greatest gift. Utilise every second profitably. Success often comes to those who dare and act. It seldom comes to the timid.  May we all attain success in life! Photo Credit: markuso

GET RID OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS!

Image
Negative thoughts have a way of getting the best of us until we take necessary actions to kick them out of our minds and environments! Oh yes, negative thoughts do not only come from your mind, but also from your environment. For example, if you surround yourself with the wrong people, people who do not believe in what you believe in, especially if you are very positive person who plays by a different set of rules, you are bound to think negatively at some point until you leave that environment!  The mistake alot of us  often make in getting rid of the negative thoughts is "trying so hard"! But the truth is what you resist persists. You are only reinforcing those negative thoughts by trying so hard. The more you try not to think negatively the more you are getting anxious, which leads to more negative thoughts. To get rid of negative thoughts, you must engage yourself with only what will clear your mind and put it at rest. I usually meditate and speak GODS' wo

WILL YOU LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH?

Image
From life's experience, I realised that life gives back to you what you emit! This is what I found out when you don't love yourself enough: You give people room to treat you badly and make them think it is tolerable for them to mistreat and abuse you!  You get suspicious when people treat you very kindly. You just find it hard to receive love.  You try to please other people because you feel that you are indebted to them, not because you want to. You feel  good news that you receive about yourself are too good to be true, that you do not deserve them, thereby sabotaging your success.  You feel that GOD is always out to punish you and you fault yourself when something does not go as planned.  You are always pitying yourself, thereby making you prone to depression.  You don’t feel comfortable when you look at yourself in the mirror. Dear friend, GOD loves you and HE wants you to love yourself enough, so that you can have enough to give to oth

"MY TO-DO LIST!"

Hello Friends, hope you all are having a fantastic weekend! Okay, I just want to share with you one of the things I do in the morning after saying my prayers, to have a productive day. Get in here.... Writing my to-do list has helped me in ways you cannot begin to imagine- from getting all those little things off my mind so I don't forget anything important to keeping me focused and keeping me on the right track, to making me more efficient and so much more! Writing a to-do list is not a difficult task at all. It is quite easy and quick. All you need is a pen and a notebook and a calendar. Oh, I am so enthusiastic about my journals- I love writing. I guess that is why it is so easy for me, but I assure you, you will love it too!  Just get started- write down what you need to do for the day, everyday, and you will be amazed at how easy your life can be! Well, you can start off with making it two or three times a week, then keep at it and get better! I wish you succ
