It's Being a While?
In the bustling realm of words, there exists a place where ideas converge, and creativity blossoms—the writing community where i use to be. Having been away from this community for a while, I found myself yearning for the knowledge exchange, and inspiration that had become an integral part of my writing journey.
During my absence, I delved into the depths of self-discovery and stumbled upon the latent potentials within me, waiting to be articulated through the written word. It became apparent that my time away wasn't just a hiatus; it was a transformative period where I unearthed a newfound appreciation for the art of crafting compelling narratives.
The echo of missed conversations and the void left by the absence from my writing community lingered - readcash, creating a palpable sense of longing. Yet, as I retrace my steps back into this familiar digital space, there's an undeniable excitement—a reunion with both old and new faces, eager to share experiences, insights, and the magic that happens when diverse perspectives converge.
As I reconnect with the community, I am reminded of the invaluable lessons learned and the countless stories shared. It's not merely a return; it's a homecoming—a celebration of the collective passion that binds us together. The exchange of constructive feedback, the encouragement during moments of doubt, and the shared victories are threads that weave a tapestry of support, fostering growth in each member.
In this renewed chapter of my writing journey, I am eager to contribute my voice to the ongoing dialogue, to learn from the abundance of experiences within the community, and to continue evolving as a writer. The gap, though a temporary departure, has transformed into a stepping stone for personal and creative growth.
To those who have been constants in this writing odyssey, your absence was felt, and your return is celebrated. To the new voices joining the chorus, welcome to a sanctuary where words dance and ideas flourish.
As I pen down these thoughts, I am reminded that the beauty of a writing community lies not only in the words written but in the connections forged—a tapestry of shared passion and mutual growth. So here's to rekindling the pen, embracing the return, and continuing the journey together in this ever-inspiring world of words.
*It's a new dawn for me...*

Appreciation
Everyone knows that there is a lot of criticism on the internet. I have decided to be different by making this place into an appreciation place. Here, I will appreciate other individuals, groups or any organization that I think deserves it. You might be wondering why I am doing this when there are so many places where you can read about the negative things. Well, I want to change that trend. I want to bring something different to the table. This platform has promoted good deeds and helpful.
The best way to improve other people's lives is to appreciate them. And that's what I intend to do here on this site. The only thing I will ask is for you to please use your imaginations and creativity when you post here and help me make here a better place.
Appreciation - People often appreciate others with the intention of subjecting such person under them. They present the case as if they are thankful but otherwise is the case. It best you appreciate people more than you expect because the more you give the more you get.
Appreciation is a virtue that God has placed in every human soul. It’s an effective instrument of God when used with the right attitude. Appreciation works out much better than the evil deed of contempt, hatred or resentment.
Despite the fact many people have a serious nature. They see things from a negative perspective and are always on the look out for things to complain about. So it’s not surprising that there’s so much resentment, hatred and contempt about.
Appreciation - The way we appreciate people is not always of what we think. The best thing to do is that we appreciate people more than we expect because the more we give the more we get. It is not a big deal to express appreciation to a person. Expressing it in an unusual way will be awesome but it depends on the creativity.
It is only with the proper appreciation that one can be able to love more and do more.
Appreciation is a basic ingredient of loving someone. This can be applied to any relationship whether in marriage, friendship, or even the relationship between individuals and their creator. When you appreciate your loved one, you then begin to care for them, you desire to treat them good, you yearn to give them good things and in essence care so much for them that they can say they are loved.
Appreciate. It is such a simple word with so much meaning in our busy lives. It's a small word that is easy to say, yet it means a lot to someone who does not receive many compliments. But the one thing you must know about appreciating people is that it should not be done for the person being appreciated but for the person doing the appreciating.
Appreciation is about giving people more than expected for them. When done purposely, you will get more than what you gave. People work for what you give them and appreciate more than you expect. We have been taught to appreciate nothing and in the process we have discouraged people from seeing the good things that comes their way, though it may not be from us but from other people who appreciate them.
We have come to a point where we do not appreciate people because we do not understand the importance of doing so. Appreciate everything, even when people don't rub your money and make some sense out of it.
Read books, get some ideas and start giving. If everyone gives and appreciate without expecting anything in return just like Christ did, the world will be a better place.
The essence of appreciation is to share every thing that comes your way and encourage other people to appreciate as well, then they will in turn give back what they can too. Do not be greedy and always keep this in mind that you should be appreciating and encouraging more than expecting and demanding because the more you give, the more you get.
Appreciation is the act of recognizing and expressing gratitude. It is an expression of appreciation conveyed by words or actions, a feeling of gratitude for kind treatment. The word is often used with the following words: for, to, toward and about. There are some people that appreciate your presence in their life but never express it because they are afraid to hurt you. It is best you appreciate people more than you expect because the more you give the more you get.
"Thank you" is a common way to show appreciation. Also, many cultures make use of nonverbal gestures to express appreciation which includes a wide smile, a bow (for example the Japanese "thank you" "arigatō"), and a handshake (common in Western cultures).
Therefore, appreciate someone today...

Encouraged
Encourage - Encouragement is the foundation of every solid relationship in our lives. Everyone needs a support system; you'd also need love, companionship, and motivation to keep going. Encourage others and let them know you are there for them. There are few things which can be more meaningful than the encouragement of one person to another.
That's one of the reasons why I could use my real name on this platform I need to encourage someone. But anyway, because I believe a lot in you and also because I want to encourage you, I thought about giving you my real identity. Whatever you do today that looks small will eventually become big, if only you are consistent.
Encouragement originates from the root word of encourage. If you are in a position of influence, your encouragement will encourage others to take certain actions. If not, then you have no right to discouragement. I have seen many people discourage others to subject such people under them, or that they think they know better.
What is unappreciated by such people is that encouragement comes from a personal motive. If you are not helping someone you should not discourage that person period. You should encourage yourself and hang out with those who are going in your direction.
Encourage one another, and build each other up – 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Encouraging those around you helps them feel better and gain a positive view of their self-worth. It is the worst feeling if people discourage you and demean your efforts.
Encouragement is constructive criticism or praise to help a person in need. It's a way of building up a person with the hope of bettering them. People often discourage others intending to make them feel bad and worthless so how? They present the case as if they are helping out but otherwise is the case. As I said earlier, you should encourage yourself and hang out with those who are going in your direction.
People that discourage others intentionally believe that they are doing themselves a big favour but do not know that they are robbing themselves of being valued by those they discouraged. I have often time encouraged myself from being discovered by anything, so as an individual we have responsibility for whatever comes out of us. So it is best to encourage oneself rather than look out for someone to do so for you.
The best part is that, instead of looking out for who to encourage you why not look out for who to encourage? When you encourage someone it works directly for you too. Hang around those who are soul lifters so that you can share your experiences and learn from one another.
I just wonder what people will get from discouraging others. Some people just enjoy it seeing others crawling and begging for their mercy. It just excites them, presenting themselves as the messiah to prove to the world they are better. Nevertheless, you should do your thing and let those you can't encourage get it elsewhere than discouraging them.
Even if it won't work, there is always a better one that will secure good results for them. So instead of discouraging them about what won't work, encourage them about what will and they will hold you in high esteem. You can only pull people up when you are above them but if you pull them down it's just because you are below them. So it is your choice.
To strengthen the spirit, increase courage and hope, give confidence and trust and inspire to be brave. Encouragement can come in different forms, from friends, family, mentors and even from inanimate objects of inspiration. In this digital age, we are so engrossed in our phones, laptops, computers and other devices that there is little time for encouragement.
Our lives are very busy trying to achieve goals at work, school and home. At times we miss out on encouragement and might need to remind others that we care. Encourage helps remind you of those who care about you, your life and your dreams.
Encouraged is one of several words in the English language that is used as both an adjective and a verb. An adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun. A verb is a word that describes an action. The word "encourage", when used as a noun, is any stimulus that gives support to an endeavour or person. Conversely, if the word "encourage" is used as a verb, then it means to urge on or stimulate greater efforts.
The word "encourage" traces its roots from the Latin term encouraging meaning: "to put courage into". After the Renaissance period and the Great Vowel Shift, the "e" moved from the middle of the word to its present location spelling-wise. Afterwards, the definition of the word evolved into its current usage, which in modern terms describes a stimulus or stimulus that gives support, especially moral support.
Enough of this research on the word encourage, nevertheless encourage someone today and keep up at it.

Who Cares
Today,1.2 billion people have access to the Internet. 1.4 billion people have access to mobile phones. And 4.9 billion people have regular access to a telephone.
Considering all the benefits technology has brought to mankind, it is astonishing that we had to wait so long for technology to develop to a point where it could connect us all on a grand scale.
From the perspective of a writer, this is a very interesting time because while we've been able to share thoughts and ideas with likeminded individuals locally since the beginning of civilization, it has never been easier to reach out beyond our immediate surroundings and share our message with the entire world. But it hurt we large portion of people show the attitude of who cares?
In just two decades, technology has gone from being an expensive novelty accessible only to wealthy nations and large corporations, it is now widely available and affordable enough that nearly anyone can find a way to put it to work for their career or business (provided they are willing to learn the skills necessary).
Lets use this moment in time as an opportunity to think about what we want to accomplish with this incredible power we have before us and lets do our part in making sure the future is one where technology brings us closer together, not tears us further apart.
Sometimes, we often care about those who dont care both in words and deeds. There are people who care about us but we dont care about tgem likewise there are people we care about who dont care about us. Life is a circle, what goes round comes around. So whatever you do comes back to you where you least expect. Who cares?
Result: The message is short, simple and straight to the point. As someone may think but who care? If you do care you will show you do someway somehow, even if it doesn't show to anyone, you know yourself. Do I care or do you? Who care.
If you see someone hurting, help them. If you see someone hungry, feed them. If you see someone in trouble, help them. If you see someone lost, guide them. If you see someone crying, wipe their tears away. If you see someone laughing, let them know that you are happy for them. Life is a circle; what goes around comes around. This is what it means to care.
Life is a circle, what goes round comes around. So whatever you do comes back to you where you least expect it. Who cares?
You hurt me yesterday, I forgive you today.
You tell me lies and I trust you tomorrow.
I am happy today because you are happy yesterday.
Whom do you care about, Who cares about you?
I love you, what do you say?
I forgive you because I love you but why do you hurt me?
Its not easy loving someone who doesnt love you,.
Its not hard loving someone who loves you but it hurts when that person hurts you.
Who cares? and who is there for me when I need him/her most?
Life is not all about being in love everyday.
It's about whom and what we care about when someone leaves or let's go..
We should not feel hatred but to feel hurt and forgive those who hurt us so that he/she will not feel guilty forever..
Who cares? no one ? let's change the world and start from us.
When we do or say things with or to others in mind, it is important to consider the effects of our actions and comments. There are people we care about who dont care about us while there are some people who care about us but we dont care the same way back on them. Who cares.
Sometimes, we often care about those who dont care both in words and deeds. There are people who care about us but we dont care about tgem likewise there are people we care about who dont care about us. Life is a circle, what goes round comes around. So whatever you do comes back to you where you least expect.
Who cares? That is the question and you are the answer. Some people care so much that they bother you with their worries and care so much that they hurt you not knowing they have already left you wounded with the cuts they made while they were away.
Who cares? The question sometimes shows a view of no one caring and you are the answer. The way you do determine what people will think of you. Some people care so much that they bother you with all manners of things and do care as much as you except. This hurt and make people conclude in their heart thinking of who care.
When people say "I love you", and yet, don't show it in their actions, what does that really mean? Are these just empty words, used to fill the silence when there's nothing more to say, or are those words just a substitute for what is really meant?
Who cares? As people let us learn to care for one another no matter all that is happening around us locally and globally. The way we react or respond towards things determines what other will think about us before they draw their conclusion whether we care or not. What ever you do today, remember that there is always a day called tomorrow.
If you don't care today who will care for you tomorrow and understand that no one knows how the day called tomorrow will be like. So, do care.

Learning
As I look back in my life, I have realized that knowledge is power. In fact, I can say that it can change the level of your life. It is true that learning never stops at any point in your life. It continues even in your old age if you can still remember things.
Learning is like a seed that grows in you. It grows when it is getting cared. If you do not care for it, it will wither away. As you think about what you are doing every day, you need to learn about it.
Learning is a secret to success in life. The thing with learning is that it opens doors for opportunity. Learning gives you knowledge that you can use to get into good schools and advance your career field.
Learning is the process by which individuals and societies increase their cognitive capabilities. Although learning is often associated with children and education, learning may occur throughout life through experience and formal non-educational means, such as books, with self-help being a large market for adult learning.
Learning, or acquiring new skills or knowledge, could also be compared to the development of a child. Learning differs from other processes by its strong focus on changing one's behavior depending on information and experiences that are recorded in memory. Learning is also determined by motivation in terms of what an individual perceives as beneficial to them. For example, learning can be voluntary or involuntary, or be initiated by others or by the self.
Learning gives you access to know more than you use to know. No matter the level you are presently, you still need to learn something new. We have always been encouraged to continue our education, because it has been proven that it helps us in understanding better things around us.
Mastering a skill makes us better in what we do. It motivates us to be creative and productive in our lives and make better decisions. Learning helps us see things in a different perspective and gives us an overview of what is happening in the world.
Learning does not always mean school or college. It can be done by reading books, magazines, attending seminars and workshops and even through some conversations with good friends.
Learning helps us progress in life, to become better persons and be positive all the time. It is a process that keeps on going that takes place inside of you by bearing in mind new ideas and concepts which will help you discover new capacities within you.
Learning is a very important part of human life. I used to think that we can really stop learning once we finished high school. But as I grew older, I have realized learning is not a one time thing. We need to continue to learn even if we are well educated.
Learn on whatever interests you, be it reading, travelling, learning new skills or just understanding more about life in general. This can be done through books, seminars, attending workshops and by getting your hands dirty.
So many people are stuck in a job or career that does not make them feel good or happy. Sometimes we choose a career because it pays well but we do not enjoy what we do everyday. In the long run, we will be stuck with a career that does not make us feel good about ourselves.
We have a choice to continue learning every day regardless of our level of education and station in life. We can still be students every day as long as we have the desire to learn something.
I have been in search of the ultimate life balance. I am sure you have been too. The quest has been endless. I searched, I read, I learned from people around me. I asked them questions, I consulted experts, I analyzed what works and what doesn't. I wanted to find out more about why things didn't work for me before and how I am going to make them work for me now.
If you are in the learning process, you will grow from many fields of knowledge. If you don't, you will still remain stagnant in your present state. When I say learning, I mean about everything possible. Learn about your life, your business, your relationships, your finances, your health and everything else that is important for you.
If you keep growing constantly in life, you will have a good future ahead of you.
You need to have a life plan and a wealth plan. If you are just learning now, it is time to create one. If you already have a plan, it is time to tweak it with new insights and information you get now so that it is relevant to the present and future situation.
Learning is the way there... Never give up on learning...

New Life
Have you ever thought of the possibilities you could have in a new life? You think about it but you never take action. I want to live a life that inspires others and makes them feel good about themselves and their lives. In this life, I also want to impact young people and help them to make the right decisions in an era where things appear to be negative and depressing. This new life can only be attained through action in the face of uncertainty.
There is always a new way to live, a life that defers from where one is coming from. I choose to live a new life, a life of impact and greatness. Start something new today and make it a pointer to the new life you desire.
The world has seen the invention of different objects that have changed the way we live. These objects have uplifted the status of human beings across the world. As we strive to be different, it is good to make a difference by creating a new life.
Let me start by saying I was born in Africa somewhere in Nigeria where people didn't see much hope but I saw hope and a better life. It was not easy but with help from different sources, I was able to come to the knowledge of what I know today.
I want to be a people person, always finding ways of helping individuals succeed. I am an entrepreneur and love what I do. I believe we all need each other in life; our marriage companionship makes one another better. My article is also to pass on what I have learned over the years.
It is hard to be in the same place at the same time every day. It is hard to move forward when you are getting caught up in the same daily routines. It is hard, to be honest with yourself when you find your life a bit boring.
Starting today, I will focus on how to create the new life I desire. I am tired of living with regrets and running away from the truth. Today is the day I start doing new things, starting with writing my blogs, reading books, and creating Youtube videos. My goal is to take a course on digital skills and entrepreneurship by the end of the year.
Today I begin a new journey, one that is incredible. Let me never come to an end, while we are in this world.
I will start with the basics. I was born, I grew up and now I desire to be a father of three wonderful kids. My wife will be a star in her own right and I am excited about this. We all have the choice in life however to be great or just mediocre. I choose to be great!
Someone wrote, "I started writing articles many years ago because I had this passion to do so and when I got married, my writings took a back seat to be a good husband and father, which they should have. Now that my children are almost grown-up, it's time for me to start writing again". This is the thought of someone.
There is enough negativity in the world today and telling people what they don't want to hear just doesn't work anymore. I choose to write about my vision of the future, the future that I see and the life that I want.
A new beginning, a fresh start, a new chance. The decision to begin something new is always there. It's up to you to determine what it is that you want to do and take it upon yourself to make it happen.
Start something new today and make it a pointer to the new life you desire. When I think about anything new, I want it to be impactful, just like anything that I am going to pursue. I want more than what I have now, I want more than how I feel now and I want more than what I am doing now.
There are so many things that are possible in the world and everything is geared toward making one's life better. The world has no problem changing for one person to succeed but those same changes tend not to extend themselves to those who were once part of the community.
When the choice is set up for one person to succeed while others around them are busy choosing failure, that is not a fair or balanced circumstance. When the task is set before someone else and they have no other option but to succeed, then why should he or she not succeed? Let us continue on this path of change and growth as we enter into a new year. Let us become the dreamers of our own lives and follow the desires that are placed in their hearts and minds. There is always a new way of life.
Life is a collection of moments, some that we realize and others that get lost in time. As you progress in life, you begin to realize the moments that count and the ones that don't. The ones that you remember are because of the emotions you felt, the love for another or yourself. They are the moments in which you took action, moved forward or even let it go.
For most of my life, I have believed that divorce is a bad thing. Honestly, when it was first told to me and by the time I was 10 years old, I was already aware that divorce is bad.
Of course, this statement is coming from a memory of a little boy who was barely exposed to what the word meant. I honestly thought the only people who are getting divorced are parents who get unhappy with each other.
"But marriage is part of life," I thought to myself.
However, starting a new life is to explore a new world of what you have created for yourself.
Thanks

My Read.Cash Book
Writers have always been in the world since the beginning of time and they've never been a part of anything new. They simply had to stand on the side and watch everyone else explore the world, their own life and everything that comes with it. It's hard to be part of something and not understand what it is about, what it does, and how it does it.
It would be nice if you could explore things without having to put yourself into a full-blown commitment.
Now you can, with Read.Cash, discover writing without ever being a willing participant or contributor. Read.cash has aided my writing ability and granted me a system to work with.
You need to do some special things to enjoy the comfort of your life. You need to become a part of something new and remarkable. This new thing will change you into a brand new person from a teenager, who is searching for dreams. Especially, when you are looking forward to being published in this new thing of the world.
However, it is not easy to achieve your dream to be published. You need the right place that can give you access to explore. This platform is called "Read.Cash", where you can post your own writings and articles and let the world read what you have written through this platform.
In Read.Cash, you have the chance to make your writings published as long as they are good enough that they are chosen by editors or owners of this platform. So, if you want to be published, join Read.cash or let me say that why you joined only for what you earn from the system.
It's all about having your own platform too. With that, you can have a community of readers, advertisers and most importantly, you have the means to earn revenue. If you want something to work, you can make it work!
I created content online and since I am in a circle of writers you should be able to come up with something worthwhile. I needed a platform to publish my content. I will be honest with you, I was stuck and needed help. I found help on a platform called Read.Cash. It is just amazing to be on this platform, where my articles can reach out.
Read.Cash is providing me with a platform to share my writing with others. It makes it easy for me to write, while they handle the technical aspects of the publishing process to ensure my work is out there in front of as many readers as possible.
If you are tired of being one of the unappreciated parts of the economy, then it is time to change that. Just by becoming a part of Read.Cash ecosystem, you will have access to explore a new platform that provides you with many options. It is not just about writing; it is about exploring and learning to become better.
Without a community of people to share your work with, you will never make any progress.
In today's fast-paced world where we are all constantly moving, working and taking care of everything at once. This has caused us to become one of the most disconnected generations of all time. People are for the most part more comfortable interacting with machines rather than with other people. When we do interact with other humans, it is more often than not through the internet using our smartphones.
When we look at these unique traits of our generation, the worst thing that can happen is the disconnection from one another. We live in a society where travel and location aren't an issue. In fact, location is probably the least important aspect when it comes to creating a community.
So, what are you going to do? What are YOU going to do to earn money? If you haven't already joined the thousands of other readers who have joined the read.cash community, here's what you can do immediately:
1. Sign up
2. Read just 1 article each day
3. Download your contents over time
4. Share it with a friend or colleague outside the platform
5. Tell someone about your experience and why read.cash is worth your time
After you have done that, consider joining the platform amazing. My scheme has been programmed or is designed to give many others access to the privilege we enjoy here. We want to help others making life better for everyone. I have a book published on read.cash. If you're interested, visit this link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZTSR28N
This is a new way of creating purpose, goals and objectives that is going to help you with new kinds of articles, writings and creative writing. If you are interested in some of the best articles and writings and if you are looking for a companion who understands the difficult time you are going through, then you are at the right place.
Writing as a pastime is never meant to be huge. But it does help to write out what we think and feel, and in the end, you can get a better sense of thinking. You can really make meaning out of what you have been writing since your engagement on read. cash.
Thanks for reading through. Thanks

Celebrate Children
This coming Sunday is when we will be celebrating Children's Day in our Church (Winners Chapel, Plenty). The day is for the whole church to celebrate the children, the hope of tomorrow.
Children are the most importtant treasure anyone can have. They not only inherit the past but also create the future. They are the hope and we are to celebrate children not only occasionally but always and impacting good morals on them.
Children are the most precious gems God has given us to take care of and to love. Childhood is the time for harvesting seeds of good habits.
A child when properly trained by good habits and values, he becomes a good citizen having a wholesome life in the society. He is an important member of the society. Hence we celebrate Children's Day.
The idea behind celebrating Children's Day is to give them happiness, joy and spiritual and moral education through stories, songs and games.
So on this special day, we pray for them to be protected against all forms of evil and to be given a sound mental and physical health. The children are our future leaders; hence we must care for them as they are the men and women of tomorrow who will lead us to success and glory.
Let us learn from the kids and their behavior to learn good and positive stuff. And let's spread the joy of celebrating children day among everyone.
We all know that Children are our future and our hope is that we make the best of them, in order to make our country a better place.
I can't stop laughing seeing these pictures. Children's Day is celebrated in many countries and it encourages children to be happy, polite and respectful.
Just like the article I read; Debbie Dingle, a mom from Australia, started this day by using social media to share the importance of celebrating this event and to encourage people to get involved. Her son was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer on his brain when he was two years old and had to go through three surgeries and chemotherapy.
Debbie then began to document his journey with cancer on her blog, where she ended up writing an article called "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" that went viral. A few months later, she decided to organize a lemonade stand with other mothers who have children suffering from cancer and it became the first charity event for childhood cancer in Australia.
The story behind Children's Day is very touching. It teaches us a very important lesson. It tells us to cherish every moment we have with our children because they are our future.
Children are the leaders of tomorrow. The future of a nation is in the hands of its children. We need to develop our children in a way so that they become a source of inspiration for others. They should be safe from all evils and should be capable enough to fight against all the difficulties of life. For this, we need to make sure that we equip our children with the right skills needed for their development.
We have have been working towards the celebration on Sunday, we hope that it will help children learn through activities, play and education. And we have been successful in delivering that to them overtime.
If you want your child to be intelligent, active and enjoy its play time, just learn with them. Our mission is to give wings to a child's imagination, knowledge and fantasy by providing fun-filled learning opportunities through various topics and train them in the way of the Lord.
On children's day, it's important to reflect on our past and how we are to impact their futures. Children are the leaders of tomorrow and are the ultimate reflection of the type of world we will live in.
As adults, we have a duty to raise them well and with morals, values and as successful individuals. The media is partly responsible for shaping the thoughts and behaviors of its consumers and children are included too. So they must be guided.
Through education, we can create a society that loves reading, writing and has improved critical thinking skills. Children must be encouraged to read and learn as much as they can while they are exposed to the wonders of the world. In our homes, we have a duty to encourage reading in our children by building libraries at home.
Thanks for reading, happy children's day.

Communication is Key
To keep any relationship healthy, there is the need to communicate with each other. Whether the relationship is between two people, organizations, countries, and so on. Communication helps in keeping any relationship alive and also helps in solving various problems that arise.
Let me navigate a little; We are in a very new era of technology, and how we communicate, Dhiposoft International - DSI is on a mission to restore effective communication in relationships and break the barrier, for us the value is life, it is all about life, love and happiness.
However, communication is the key to keeping any relationship healthy, without effective communication, such a relationship can become sad news. So I am trying to reach out and make it better, we can not make ourselves alone, so we have to find someone that will make us happy, we can not get anything from nothing. Communication makes us happy about what we do and how we do it.
Communication is the key to keeping any relationship moving and responsive, without effective communication such a relationship cant be positive in its way and that is sad news.
Keeping your loved ones close isn't always easy, between family, friends and colleagues especially living in different countries or distances it's not uncommon for relationships to go cold. To bring a little warmth back into this atmosphere we have created a functional, affordable and beautiful social interaction that will enhance effective communication.
There is no doubt about the fact that we are living in the communications era, but it is not so much the model or the technology which has brought us to this point. As the world becomes more and more connected, we have to admire and acknowledge the fact that it's human nature which has made this all possible.
Communication is the gateway to keeping any relationship intact and without effective communication, such a relationship remains nor sustains its purpose.
Technology changed a lot about communication and relationship, before the technology era we were limited by our senses that we were not as sensitive as they are today, so we didn't have a lot of ways to communicate as we have today.
Today, with DSI - Dhiposoft International it's possible to communicate with other people without physically being around them through different social platforms behind DSI.
With DSI it's possible to listen to what others can hear and speak exactly what others can understand you, even if you don't share the same native tongue which enhances communication.
So with DSI, it's possible to communicate more easily and make more human connections, it's up to you to find your great love match.
There are two types of communication, verbal and nonverbal. While hearing is a sense that developed over millions of years, reading is a relatively recent development in human evolution. Most of our communication is sent nonverbally through body language, facial expressions and eye contact.
93% of all human communication is nonverbal these days. Research shows that our ability to read each other's minds is not just limited to facial expressions, but also body language, postures and tone of voice. A good relationship depends on effective communication and the way you communicate with someone is as important as what you say to them.
Do you know even with pets we communicate? This is a communication and connection that helps us relate to our pets. Pet owners stay in touch with their pets and offer peace of mind when they're not together because a relationship has been established. Communication allows pet owners to see what their pets see through their pet's eyes and it monitors their vitals so pet owners can stay informed about how their pets are doing while they are away. There are several techs now that engender effective communication both with humans and animals. It's just so amazing.
Welcome to the future of Human-Computer communication, DSI is a wearable entity that also incorporates knowledge of ICT applications. It uses a new type of ethical language which helps you get much better knowledge in conversation with people around you. Nevertheless, communication is life on its own.

They Don't Believe
`They don't believe because their heart is shut down towards anything positive they see others do. On like like Jesus Christ who tried to make them understand but they couldn't believe Him till His last breath.`
The devil can only rule those who will let him and he does it by taking away the Word of God from their heart. The devil had taken away their faith it was no longer on their hearts or minds.
He didn't live according to rules making people scared of change. Only God is a forever unchanging King.
He wasn't rich and yet he could change poverty into plenty. He wasn't educated and yet he could change closed-mindedness into an open-minded being.
I remember the first time someone told me to give up, I never thought I would hear that from that person. I was in my early twenties and I was fighting for an opportunity, I wanted it bad and I was ready to stop at nothing to get it. Month after a month I kept hoping I will be called and be given the opportunity, I kept getting interviews but as soon as the organisers learnt I had been working hard for a while they told me I have not got enough experience. This was demotivating but I was not ready to give up.
I would go to bed thinking about the opportunity and wake up the next morning thinking about the opportunity. My day was mostly filled with thoughts of getting the opportunity. I always had this feeling of peace and joy in my life and this opportunity to was going to be one of them, it just felt like home.
The organisers offered to sponsor my experience which I accepted gladly but even then it did not work out. At some point, things were looking so bleak. I just couldn't understand it because everything else in my life was going great. However, among all these negative experiences, there were also positive ones. I started getting more calls from organisers and they were interested in hiring me.
I read about a cancer victim, who was in and out of the hospital from being five to seven years, she couldn't walk hand in hand with her sister or others when they were playing, and she couldn't jump and run like other people because she had to go for her follow up treatment. Now she was in primary session, when lessons were over, her parents came and took her back home but she had to stay back for more treatments.
Her parents never bought her toys because they felt that would distract her. Her parents warned her never to play with any toy because it will attract other kids to their house and they will know that she was on treatment.
One day a girl who was her best friend gave her a bag of beads to play with, she showed it to her mother, she got angry and destroyed it, she said it's not good for her. Her parents always advised her not to tell anybody that she was on treatment, if anybody asks tell them her dad is sick. When she was in standard six their church held a function where all the children were invited, she wanted to attend it but her parents said no.
One day she saw her friend going to the church party; she invited her to come along which she accepted. While at the party one of the ministers called her name among the other children so that she can get her prayers answered which ends in testimony.
According to Jesus Christ, the people refused to believe that he was sent by God. They refused to believe it because they didn't see it. They saw the miracles but they refused to believe. If they saw it they would have believed it, not because they were not worthy enough but because they are just not ready and they don't know what they are missing.
They don't believe and they are afraid to hope that anything will happen to them. They are afraid of failure, afraid of giving up, and afraid to lose what they have not looked for the next thing. They will say all the time "I am not a joiner", "I have my own time", "I can't because I am doing this" and "If I fail I will become nothing".
They don't believe in miracles because they have never seen them happen with their own eyes even though it's happening to them on daily bases. They have been deceived by the word "normal" by using it as a cover to hide the things that are happening in their body.
The only way to change this perception is to speak life into them, to show them acts of God, to bring them closer to God by praying with them but most importantly by showing them that you believe. By believing and living in faith while they are still on their way up so they can see what you are seeing and then they will believe. If you believe we believe you. It works both ways.
They say life is a choice, they say you can do what you want, and they say that luck favours the brave. But they don't say it this way to drive you to believe in what they don't believe. They don't say it to help you succeed in what they aren't successful in. Because they don't have the not to give you. He was the only one who said it right, He was the only one who meant it right when He said "I am the way and truth and life". He made clear that your heart must be pure and open for anything to happen to you. Your heart must be willing to submit completely to God.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways", says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
You have been given all the tools you need, but will finish when it's time because you can't finish it on your own. Love your enemy as yourself, pray for those who wrong you, be patient towards all men and forgive others, forgive yourself and never get tired of trying because when you do all these things he will take care of the rest for you.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths".

Why Should I?
I remember, as I was growing up in my youth, one of the greatest things I used to hear from my parents was, "when you do nothing, you are doing something". I first don't understand but now I understand better. Doing nothing is doing something which ends in nothing precisely.
Lately, this season has been a challenging period for me and many others I believe. My thoughts are not focused on the negative but rather on a powerful positive statement that I repeat over and over again every day. It has kept me going. I want to share it with you.
There is a statement that has been with me since my childhood. This statement has helped me overcome challenges and it helps me to keep moving even when life is hard and I am facing challenges. The difficulty in getting up in the morning when it is cold outside and the challenge of not hearing back from a client or even not making your numbers or income in your business.
Life is not perfect, everyone knows that. So, if you are looking for a perfect life and do not find it, don't give up. Never give up.
It is never too late to start living, it is never too late to stop relying on someone else and start relying on yourself. We all need to stand up for ourselves someday but in this part of the world, you need results to make that happen not news of what will happen.
Giving up means that I have been beaten, that I have failed, that I am weak and worthless. Giving up means that you are not strong enough to handle it. Full stop! To me giving up is giving in and not giving in is the path to success. Giving up is a word that is demotivating, depressing and full of negative vibes.
I remember the first time someone told me to give up, I never thought I would hear that. I was in my early twenties and I was fighting for an opportunity, I wanted it bad and I was ready to stop at nothing to get it. A month after month I kept doing the needful and applying for every chance I get, I kept getting interviews but as soon as the organisers learnt I had been working hard for a while they told me I have not got enough experience. This was demotivating but I was not ready to give up.
I would go to bed thinking about the opportunity and wake up the next morning thinking about the opportunity. My day was mostly filled with thoughts of getting that opportunity. I always had this feeling of peace and joy in my life and this opportunity was going to be one of them, it just felt like home.
The organisers offered to give me a try without experience which I accepted gladly but even then it did not work out. At some point, things were looking so bleak. I just couldn't understand it because everything else in my life was going great. However, among all these negative experiences, there were also positive ones. I started getting more calls from people who were there and were interested in hiring me. Wow.
I am not going to give up I am not going to give in how many times have I told myself this how many times have I said it to others I am not giving up why should I give up? why should I give in?
I can't give up I won't give up why should I give up why should I give in? I can't give up I must not give up but so many times before I have felt like giving up when the world has seemed to bring me down and make me wonder if it was worth trying again. so many times before I have felt like giving in, even discouraged by close confidants.
I am not going to give up, no matter what. I will not give up, why should I? I can give it a try giving up because I am not done trying.

Silence
To speak or not to speak, that is the question. Silence could be a sign of strength and can also be that of weakness. Is either not saying what will put you in trouble or not saying what will put others in shock. Being quiet is not to be silent but they might be seen from the same angle.
When someone found out that he is different, he'll have to tell his story either the good way or the bad way. People's choice is theirs and they should know how they can choose the best way rather than just arguing without knowing what they are doing.
Silence is the term used when one lacks the courage to speak out against what is wrong. Silence could be a sign of wisdom, fear, obedience, menstruation, boredom and course lack of knowledge.
A man in the house who gives peace or a man who causes trouble? A woman in the house who causes peace or a woman who causes trouble? A child who is disciplined in the house or a child who causes trouble? Are these scenarios cause for celebration? Or are they signs of weakness? Are they a sign of strength?
Silence is necessary in our daily lives but it could be a sign of strength or weakness. There are things that we are not supposed to say but then there are those things that are best that are not to be said. It is normal for a person to keep quiet about his or her business. Silence could either be a strength or a weakness. Silence is a sign of weakness when it comes to the challenges in life and silence is a sign of strength when it comes to the challenges in life. Silence could give an impression of weakness but then again silence can also be viewed as a strength.
For example, when you are in a meeting room you are expected to be quiet but yet some are being silent because they just don't have anything to say. Silence could be a sign of strength where some people don't want to be heard and might feel uncomfortable speaking in a session. It also could be a sign of weakness as some people are saying nothing but should have been heard. Silence could also mean that some people had already spoken and are waiting for others to speak and add ideas to the content that had already been presented.
Silence could also mean that some people just want to be unnoticed or else will sidetrack the topic in question. A strong individual will always share his/her views with others because he/she believes he/she has the good knowledge to contribute. We should be careful with our viewpoint of silence, we should never judge a book by its cover as silence could be all you see as a sign of weakness or just as a sign of strength.
Silence could be a sign of strength and can also be that of weakness. Is either no saying what will put you in trouble or no saying what will put others in shock. Being quiet is not to be silent but they might be seen from the same angle.
Skill, attitude, discipline and love for the game will help any sportsman to win a match. In the same way, a good work ethic, great attitude and skilful hands can help a programmer to achieve his goals without much noise. Silence is the power which helps one to clam up and think.
If a person keeps to himself and is silent, you might think that the person is strong and responsible and people will trust him. On the other hand, you might think that a person is a coward and unreliable. But the real meaning of being quiet is not to be silent but be smart, observant and intelligent. In Job 21:5 it says,
"Behold even the moon has no brightness and the stars are not pure in his eyes; How much less man, who is but a maggot (maggoty worm)
How much less man, the disgraceful offspring of a trampled worm!
Even so, you say, 'What does God know? Can he judge through the deep darkness?"
And further in v 11-12, it says:
"Even if He should kill me. I would hope in Him. Still, I will maintain my ways before Him."
"I will praise Him according to His justice. Even if He will kill me."
So even if your faith is not great as Job's, you could be quiet and wait on God's promise.
Silence could be a sign of strength and can also be that of weakness. Being quiet is not to be silent but they might be seen from the same angle. When you are asked to keep your silence it is said to be a sign of respect or humbleness which can also be a sign of fear or even weakness but how do we see it, how do we measure it, how do we know which class it belongs to? So many questions and so few answers or maybe nothing at all.

What Manner of Love
In the world today, especially in our African communities, it is feared that the love of God is becoming a done deal. While God loves us, His love has never been a done deal. It comes with conditions. The first condition is obedience to the will of God and the second condition is faithfulness to the commands of God. The third condition is steadfastness in prayer asking for divine intervention against the problems and challenges that confront us. The fourth condition is to do everything within our power to see to it that our decisions and choices are in accord with the Word of God.
I am convinced that wherever God's people are obedient to His Word, faithful in prayer and doing their level best within their abilities and environment there will always be light in their darkness, joy in their sorrow, victory in their defeats and a smile on their faces.
God's love will make or break us because it is His love that builds us up or pulls us down. Therefore, let us not only proclaim God's love but also demonstrate this love by our actions and speech.
The Bible says in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." The Apostle John says in 1 John 4:9 "In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."
God loves you and me in such a personal way. If you are a believer and trust in Christ alone for your salvation, then God has already forgiven every sin you have ever committed and will ever commit and He will never remember them. He loves you unconditionally, but He will not force His love down your throat and make you believe it. You have to trust Him to be true to what He has promised and come to know Him. God's love is available to all those who want it, if they are willing to accept it by trusting Him now.
Love brings the Hope and Faith to move forward in our lives. A relationship with God requires us to be proactive in our daily lives. We, in the faith, believe that we can move mountains by love. Not by force, but by the power of love. The power of God, who is love, is released in our lives and when we have faith in His love and trust Him, we are able to do things that would otherwise be insurmountable obstacles. God is always available to help you achieve your goals and your dreams. Just remember that you have to do your part, too. Ask and keep asking. Don't give up.
God's love - The love God has for us is unending and unconditional. It is His love that saved the whole world from sin, death and eternal condemnation. The love of God is sure, certain and can be rely upon now and forever.
God's love is certain, constant, immutable and unchanging. His love for us is full and complete, beyond measure, immeasurable and infinitely beyond our ability to fully appreciate.
God reveals His love through the death of His Son and if you have trusted in Christ as Lord and Savior you know and live in the experience of God's unfailing love for you.
God's love is beyond what we as humans can understand. It is so vast we can never fully grasp it or comprehend it's perfection. When we are experiencing trials or troubles, even what seems like failure or loss, we can be secure in the knowledge that God loves us unconditionally through the cross of Jesus Christ.
I have been telling people about God's love for so long, sometimes I think I don't have anything else to say. But when I come face to face with someone whose loved one is dying, or who is going through a crisis of faith, or who has just lost a loved one, then I know my message is still needed.
This month, we'll be wrapping up our month-long "God's Love Is" series that encouraged us to think about the love of God in different ways. This week, as we conclude the series, I want to tell you about God's love for you.
Our hope is that you will find encouragement as we consider how God's love becomes the anchor of our faith, our hope and the driving force in our lives. No matter what we are facing, when we know God loves us and has a plan for our lives, then we don't need to fear the future. God's love gives us peace of mind.

Time
Time is always on the move, it waits for no one. No matter how much you have you cant hold down time. There is time for everything under the earth: time to be born and time to die; time to plant and time to reap; time to kill and time to heal; time to laugh and time to weep; time to build up and time to tear down. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. The Bible says that we should not be weary in well doing because in due season we will reap if we faint not.
Time is always on the move, it waits for no one. No matter how much you have you cant hold down time. There is time for everything under the earth. Time can be spent wisely or foolishly. Faith is the only thing that will keep you strong when it feels like time has brought you to your knees. You find yourself in a place where your circumstances are not favorable and you are in a position to make decisions that are not in your best interest, but when you look up it reminds you that faith helps you to find solutions to every situation.
Everybody knows that time waits for none. Time is the most precious gift from God. Time waits for none. So do not waste your time. Whatever you want to achieve in life, you have to start now and keep going till you achieve it. The earlier you start the better it is. If there are things standing in your way, do not give up. Tell yourself, I WILL DO THIS TODAY! And keep trying till you succeed. Believe in yourself and make it happen.
There will be failure but never give up, learn from your failure and move forward. Do not worry; worry never fixes anything. Worrying will only make things worse. Be optimistic and have faith in God. God has a plan for everything that concerns us. So have faith and be patient; a time will come when everything will turn out all right for you.
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.
The concept of time has been explored and debated by philosophers, ancient and modern, eastern and western, and spiritual thinkers ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Kant, Einstein, Hawking and contemporary theorists; each provides a unique perspective on time's properties.
In physics, the concept of time is closely related to that of change. Change is understood as "the transformation of objects over time," or more rigorously that at any specified moment the state of an object is never identical to and always different from some prior moment in time. By contrast, some definitions refer to change as a process whereby objects move from one state to another.
Time, the thing we are told not to waste. As Christians, we are given a gift from God in the form of time. We are to use our time wisely. We must make sure that we use it to glorify Him and not ourselves. In Galatians 5:16-17 it says, " I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do what you want."
We know that this is a constant battle that we cannot win on our own. With God, all things are possible. We must learn to put off self and put on Christ. When you keep moving and don't stop, you will be able to accomplish many things before your time runs out here on earth. Time passes quickly, so we must do all in our power to make God's name famous while there is still time.

Counselling
A counselling "business" helps people solve their problems. In the multiple of counsel, there is safety. from Proverbs and 16:32. The word "business" here means that people meet periodically, exchange ideas and inspire each other to move forward to get a handle on their problems and build their lives.
This "business", of a group of people who meet regularly to help others, was so natural at the time of writing of the bible and it still holds good in the modern world today. Like any other business, a counselling business charges fees to its customers (those who are seeking advice).
The Bible teaches us that God gives us the wisdom to counsel others; not just pastors, prophets or priests but also any believer can sit with others and help them to solve their problems.
Humans are all products of continuous learning. At many times in our lives we need someone to help us in this journey, to give us direction and point out the pitfalls, show us how to do things right and not do things wrong, and show us that we are not alone and that there are people who understand, counsel us.
Human. No one knows it all, we are all products of continuous learning. Counselling helps acquire knowledge relevant to where one is heading in life. In the multiple of counsel, there is safety.
Any man who believes he can do anything to the best capacity and needed nobody's help is set for doom. We become vulnerable when we don't know what to do or who to go to for support. We all need somebody regarding one thing or the other.
Counselling is like a light given amid darkness. It helps you to see things from another perceptive and sense of reasoning. When we seek counsel, we earn more chances to do better in life than those who don't.
However, it is not enough going for counselling but doing the needful that matters. The result you get will determine the counsel you chose to follow. What you follow today determines what follows you tomorrow.
Never underestimate the power of counselling because it can either break you or make you. If counselling is void in your life, you will be stranded someday soon but if not you will scale heights in life. Counselling will always add to your knowledge even if you don't do it as guided.
Be mindful of whom you take counsel from because they will give you what they have not considering whether it fits your situation or not. Let the people you seek counsel from be those who have been where you are before and now somewhere you desire to be buy otherwise will complicated matters.
Imagine a married woman who desires peace in her home seeking counsel from another married woman whose home is not peaceful? What do you expect will come from such a counsellor? No matter how you pretend to have what you don't have, it will surely surface someday.
Even as a student who desires to do well in a course but seeks counsel from any student who hates such course or the lecturer taking that course? This is the reason why we must be careful with those we call counsellors.
Do you know that most of us too present ourselves as counsellors to some people? Let us be of help to others when they need our counsel and let us be real not faking anything nor live in pretence when we don't know. It is even best when we direct them to those who will be able to meet their need for counsel. It is not about taking glory but rendering help in times of need.
Let your words match up with your actions. When people discover how esteemed you are by both your words and action it won't take them time to come for counselling from you. Your life should be an epistle of what you teach.
We live in a world where people are concerned about knowing what people are going through but don't have anything to offer in return be it in cash or kind. Avoid sharing your issues with people with this behaviour who present themselves as counsellors. Counselling is the key to knowing more, embrace it.

They Know More
Children know more - Never underestimate the knowledge of children, they know more than you can ever think. The more they can trust you, the more you discover how much they know. Just be on the watch and never ignore every little detail they give.
The message children know more - Never underestimate the knowledge of your children or young folks, they know more than you can ever think or imagine. The more they can trust you, the more you get from them till you unwrap their mind. Just be on the watch and never ignore every little detail they give.
This is not just a spoken word poem that encourages and inspires people to believe in themselves and value the knowledge and thoughts of children. All I'm saying in this article is encouraging a parent or anyone who interacts with kids not to dismiss them as a lack of information, but rather see them as a source of great value knowledge and wisdom that can help shape the future. To get any message across to the children, we used a soft tone most time making them feel comfortable, to indicate that this is meant for positive encouragement.
The main audience for this article is people who interact with children daily, such as parents, teachers and daycare workers, who may easily disregard their words as nonsense or foolishness.
They are the gentlest, and the most violent. They can destroy in one moment what it has taken years to build. They can love you one minute and hate you the next, they can make you laugh, they can make you cry. They are very much like adults only smaller.
The young minds are so fresh and so eager to learn, so teach them everything you know. Be a good teacher of the mind and the rest will follow. The children are so pure and so innocent; they are like a blank white paper on which you can draw anything your heart desires. Love them, counsel them and nurture them to be all they want to be in this world.
Good words will do a lot of miracles in any young mind. The children are great imitators; learn them to be what you want and not what others want from them, as you will shape their destiny as adults in future.
Children know more. Never underestimate the knowledge of children, they know more than you can ever think.
`Just as every good parent knows that their children are so much more intelligent than them, the same goes for your business. In most cases, your target market knows more about what it's looking for and what it needs than you do. So are these children.`
Children know more than we can ever think. I have seen this in children, with all the worries, challenges, fears and failures they have been through in life, they just keep calm and happy. I remember telling a child once, when he was 9 years old, that I was not happy about his performance in school. This was around February/March and I was preparing for his exams by giving him study sessions at home. I emphasised to him that it is very important to pass the exams because it will open the door to new opportunities where you can be a millionaire if you are successful at it. But then I could see in his face that he is not into it and he just said "I Know".
Children know more - Never underestimate the knowledge of children, they know more than you can ever think. The more they can trust you, the more you discover how much they know. Just be on the watch and never ignore every little detail they give.
Children never lie even when they do, their intentions are still pure. We have been made to believe that our little ones are beings without any knowledge, if that is so, then why are we communicating with them about everything in life? There is more to a child than meets the eye and it is a great truth that children have an innate power of knowing.

It Is What You Find You See
Finding something worthwhile should be a big deal for us if not all, a creative and artistic solution to problems and hardships in life, has taken a new step to reaching out to a wider audience. People are all over the place seeking something somewhere somehow.
Do you know that, what you find you will see? It doesn't matter how long it takes but above all, you got what you have been looking out for. The question is what are you looking out for? Some people are looking out for opportunities that will establish their finances, some are looking for a better life, some are looking for what to do different from the common, some are looking for hopes and trust, some are looking for love and care and many more.
The question is what are you looking for in this round big world? If you can answer this in one minute, you are sure looking for something. Many appear to be looking for something but of a truth they can't answer the question above in a minute, this is because they are still yet to figure out what they are looking for out of life.
If you know where you are going, it won't take you long to get there even without the help of others describing your destination for you. Those that don't know even stopped times without numbers because everywhere looks like where they are going. The mystery behind life is that: if you are not looking for something, something will look for you pleasant or unpleasant which is determined by the direction you are facing.
It's all about the journey. The way that it feels to know that you are on the right path towards your dreams and visions. That you have all the tools to succeed. And while others might be praying, you've got the solution and no one can deny that. When you find what you are looking for, in no time it will reflect on you for others to see.
"To see is to believe!"
What many people don't understand is that it's never too late to dream! Dreaming is like finding something be it consciously or unconsciously. Many want to see you succeed, but sometimes it's hard to find your own strength when times get tough. The best thing about faith is you don't always have to understand how it works, just believe and let God do the rest.
Im in the struggle of life and Im finding myself now. I just want to help, love and be loved. I am also hoping to find my way out of the struggles. The sense of belonging and the feeling that someone understands me and my struggle are what drives me.
What you find - Whatever you don't find, you cant see. You need to find it before you will see it. Your input determines how strong your output will look like. If truly you are seeking for something, you will definitely find it but only time can tell.
Being consistent is the soul of business. The secret to business growth is consistency. But this is not as easy as it seems. It requires persistence and consistency to achieve big things. Inspirational Words, Motivational Quotes, Positive affirmations and memes to help you be consistent with your daily routine of success. To see what you are finding, you must be consistent doing it and persistent too.
The finding shows that people have the power to find whatever is inside them. Finding helps everyone to understand what they need to find in the world.
It's a world that is growing faster than people can handle. we allow everyone to see what they have found deep inside their hearts and minds. For an entrepreneur, it's about their product and for an athlete, it's about their sport and skills. For anyone, it's about what they believe in and what they want to share with the world.
The finding allows you to build your own find portal, shop around, set your own prices and run your business uniquely.
If you are having trouble finding something, don't stop looking yet. We are planning on launching a search engine to help you find more of what you want and need. Or what do you think?
I can't just help you find more stuff but also helps you find your love, purpose, and passion and live confidently with the right tools at hand. If you need my help or assistance.
It is what you find you see. What you don't find, you cant see. You need to find it before you will see it. Your input determines how strong your output will look like. See what you find, and you will see the difference.

Will This Relationship Work?
Our relationship can work only if we both are willing to give our best effort to make it work. The effort knowing that relationship is where pro parties work together to be together. In truth, you are going to have to go through obstacles and tests in your relationship and these obstacles and test either are for the worst or the better. So you have to think positive, not negative knowing that no matter what, you two have to be devoted to each other. When you become more committed to each other, you easily overcome obstacles.
Also, trust is a big thing that people need in a relationship. You have to prioritize each other if you truly love each other, people should have no clue seeing your differences. It is also expected that each of you will make time for each other and you have to be patient with each other when necessary.
I can say you should desist or quite suggest to yourselves who is better in which sense. There is no need for comparison, you don't have to compete with each other when in a relationship because it leads to a disastrous ending. If you do that in your relationship you will never have a good relationship nor will you find peace with your partner. What is the essence of being in a relationship that has no peace? All u need to do is understand what you feel for each other and learn how you can grow together in the relationship.
If he is not good at academics or if he is not on par with ur class, still there will be some things in which he will be much better than you, because that is the reason you like him and consider him to be in a relationship with him/her. When you correct one another don't make it look as if he/she is not better in something else.
Ensure you both have respect for each other, likewise for each other's shortcomings and complement each other in things you do better.
Why is it that relationship advice for women is typically different from relationship advice for men?
This is because while as an individual, it's true that every man often communicates differently unlike the way women do communicate and have different priorities also. Many men take a logical approach to relationships whereas women often respond to how they feel or emotional approach. While sometimes changes can be made to one's behaviour and habits.
Effective relationship advice for our women will also include that understanding why a man acts the way he does will go a long way as your relationship is concerned. Likewise, understanding why he doesn't always change so easily regarding some most you feel or think should be easy for him to change towards.
One such example is that women will often talk to make emotional connections in one way or the other, to the extent of making the man feel guilty about not listening to them. Think of when you go out with your girlfriend or spouse - it's nonstop chatter about anything and everything around them that tends to call for attention. The funniest part of it is that when they get all the attention they wanted they hide behind the man to help reduce the focus by attaching negative instances to the atmosphere. Questions like, what are you looking at? Is my hair not good? Am I talking too much? Am I too fat/thin/slim? And so on.
But as for the man, when he relates with the woman logically whenever she is hyper-emotional its leads to misunderstanding which might end in conflict. The advice for women that deals with men include the fact that men typically talk to relay information and not much else. They may laugh and joke with one another but men rarely sit around and talk the way women do.
This can be difficult for a woman to understand as she wants nothing more than for her man to sit and talk with her, but good relationship advice for women means understanding why this isn't going to happen as readily or as often as you might expect.
Men usually have a hard time expressing themselves as freely as women and especially have a hard time talking about how they feel. Other differences that come up when talking about relationship advice for women is that women usually enjoy and appreciate being part of a family and a couple as many will have it. It's important to them that they're part of that partnership. Men usually appreciate being part of the couple but don't find their identity being wrapped up in it the way many women do.
So a part of relationship advice for women is to understand why they don't always call as much as you think they should and why they're not as thoughtful as you think they should be.
It's not a reflection of the relationship itself or how they feel about it; men simply just don't always obsess about relationships the way women do. It's easy to interpret this as thoughtlessness but again, relationship advice for women means understanding how men think and why they act the way they do.
Of course, all this relationship advice for women doesn't mean that men shouldn't step up and do their part in keeping the relationship alive and healthy. If talking is important to a woman then of course he should make an effort to open up.
If communication and thoughtfulness are important to her, he can work on those areas as well. A good relationship is made up of two people trying their best to accommodate each other as they learn what is important to one another. So relationship advice for women doesn't mean she should give up everything important to her, but rather should just be helped to become better.

Words Unspoken
The unspoken words by Gbenga Akinnagbe is a book about what goes on in the mind of a man when the woman he loves is preparing to leave him and he is unable to express his feelings. There are moments when you know what your heart feels and there are a lot of unspoken words that can never be told or shared with anyone.
Well, there are certain times in life when you are not even sure if you are happy or sad. There are times in life when you do not know if what you feel is right or wrong. There are times when you do not know if the pain that you feel is justified. There are times when you do not know if all the love of the world will be able to make the wrong things, right.
There are moments in life which are pure confidence, some moments, I would just say, I am afraid to admit and don't even want to know if there will be a time again for a moment like this. Moments when I ask myself so many inside questions and answers, that I am convinced that it does not matter anymore, who am I even asking for answers anymore.
It is in this silent moment that the power of thoughts are brought to focus. But what about the fears? Are the fears really unspoken? Fear is a common feeling. Everybody feels it at some point in his or her life. It's what you do with your fear that makes life worth living.
The fear to take risk and change. The fear to be left behind by others in society. The fear to be unknown, unaccepted and unpopular. The fear of hunger and poverty; these fears eat your body, mind and soul.
The fear of being strong for everyone else but weak for yourself. What is tough beyond words is due to the fact that there are things which are beyond words.
Our fears makes us feel like we have lost control over ourselves and our lives. They can cause us to act in ways we do not normally do, or say things that we wish we have not said.
But remember that only YOU can change this; only YOU can improve on being better than yesterday, stronger than the day before and wiser tomorrow than today.
Only God can help. Enjoy this song below.

Words Can Demoralized.
Words – Let us be careful about how we use words, words are instruments of happenings. It can make or break you, it can build or pull you down, it can demoralise and likewise strengthens. The critical part of it is that you don't know how far it will go in the mind of another person when say to. Watch it, instead of saying words that pull people down try your possible best to say words that strengthen others even when they are at fault because you never can tell how sound they are mentally.
Words are instruments of happening they can make or break you, they can build or pull down, they can demoralise likewise they can strengthen. How do you use your words? People hasten to judge others when wrong but forget they are also humans. Who doesn't do wrong, if not in all but in something? Put yourself in that shoe, how will you feel when you are spoken to in that manner you did speak to the person or people that were wrong?
Words are the most powerful invention, they can be a weapon, an instrument to make people laugh, cheerful and happy or they can demoralise and make one feel under-rated and unwanted. How do you use your words? It is so interesting that what we say we are is what we eventually become per time. Words know no bounds. The way you address people will determine what people think of you as a person.
When we say something which is not quite accurate or conveys a wrong meaning, we are misusing the word. How do you use your words? Some people say something in a wrong manner and have pure intentions but when realized it is best to revisit that issue and address it in the right way. That is wisdom. No one is perfect with words every time but only God.
Words should be chosen with care and caution because words can hurt as well as encourage us to be better in life. Words have the power to hurt or kill but remember that the best care w can do as people and most of all the Christians is through words of encouragement to one another.
The bible says "the tongue has the power of life and death" (Prov. 18:21), it can make you or break you, build you or pull-down, demoralise you or strengthen you as I have said above. It is a powerful instrument, when we speak our words, we are framing reality in terms of what we want it to be, so we need to be careful about that.
Words can make or break people and the things around us. Words can build or pull-down whatever we think best, it can demoralise as well strengthens when used. How do you use your words? There's a book I used to read every month called Daily Hope by Eric Butterworth, the author compiles a daily dose of wisdom from the bible for about 365 days and I use to read it religiously.
In one of his books, he quoted this in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 12: "Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The Bible is Enough!" If you check Psalms 139:16 and Proverbs 18:21 you will see that God knows how we speak before we speak it. So if someone tells you they're in a tight spot and they ask for help please don't encourage them by saying: "I know what you need to do", because it may not be what they need to do per se but it might be what you need to do instead. One of my favourite songs says: "You are the reason why some people won't succeed", That's because our words have led them to believe that they would not succeed either.
If a word is spoken to you, and it does not produce any spiritual response in you, then you are spiritually dead. The speaker and the spoken season the emotional response, so beware of the thoughts you entertain. Words have the capacity to inflict emotional bruises and physical scars on your life. So choose your words wisely, choose words that care for people, words that heal, encourage and words that inspire.
Watch your words because they can give life or take away your peace of mind. Words are potent weapons that destroy lives and build hope. Our words should be used to encourage and help others. When talking to others we should be careful not to criticize them, but encourage them and motivate them with our words to do better.
We should not say things that hurt their self-image or make them feel uncomfortable or say things that will at some point in time come back to haunt us.
"Words have consequences. They're very powerful. It can build or pull down, it can uplift or demoralize" - Bishop David Oyedepo
***Words have a lot of power; we use words to convey our intentions, aspirations and thoughts. We also use words to give commands, instructions and explanations. Words are used to inspire, motivate and encourage. On the other hand, words, when misused and wrongly used, can wound feelings, set wrong impressions and paint bad pictures in the minds of the listeners. For example, some people use words to demotivate and discourage others.***
https://youtu.be/QXzC2eiHBG8
It can build you or pull you down; it can uplift you or demoralise you; it can make you feel good or make you feel bad about yourself; it can motivate or dis-empower you; it can encourage or discourage you.
`Use Your Words Wisely towards Yourself, People and Things Around You.`

Doing Business with Families.
What is your experience doing business with families?
We all love to do business and make profit but some of us do not know the secret of doing good business with the right people. Unfortunately, most business people do business with the wrong people which always put them in the wrong place. Can families be part of the wrong people you do business with? Not really but some can be.
In business, do business where you will profit not where your profit will not be in view. Some people do good business with the wrong people which results in running the business down. Some families know the business you do but because of their selfish reasons and interest, they approach your business without profiting in view. Some even emotional back ail you till they have their way and when it required that they pay someone you will be disregarded counted as amateur or not having the best service or products required. Let's be mindful of those we do business with and be profit-oriented.
You have the choice to do business where you will profit or where your profit will not be in view. Some people do good business with the wrong people which results in running the business down, even when they needed to purchase or patronise you they will go somewhere else. Let us be mindful of those we do business with, be it a colleague or a customer.
Do business where you will profit without feeling if it was a bad thing, some people make others feel bad profiting from them while they can not bear it when someone do it towards them. Do not do business where your profit will not be in view because you end up paying the cost yourself and loss is incurred. People do good business with the wrong people just because they don't want to offend the other party which results in running the business down . Let's be mindful of those we do business with and be profit-oriented.
Business is a function of life, a part of human existence, and not an exact science. But still, there are some rules which can be applied in whatever business you are doing to make it successful. When you sense wrong persons around your business, don't canvas them towards your business nor regard their approach because it could be a trap for your business.
I believe families should be your first business clients not who will ruin you down. The people you sell to today on credit will be the first to shy away from you to another person, your business is like your bady. You need to guide, build and nurture it till maturity. Do business where you will profit not where your profit will not be in view. Some people do good business with the wrong people which results in running the business down. Let's be mindful of those we do business with and be profit-oriented.
Don't let your business die as an infant, leave families for family and business for business. Give your business a business approach and let everyone know that is your business. They will respect you and your business soon or later and give you your business space for profiting.
Don't accept the saying, no family no business. It should be the way round, no business no family. Let business become you, your family becomes business and your business become their business then everyone profit making gene comes alive.
You can also share your view on this.
Thanks for reading.

Don't Let Go
`I don't know what I would do if you let go, you are all I have been looking but now I found you. I'll do all in my power to make you happy. You are my life; and without you, I am nothing. Without you, there is no day, no night. You chase away my nightmares and whisper to me that it will be okay. The question is who am I referring to?`
You hold me when I'm scared and kiss away all of my tears. You tell me that I am beautiful just the way I am and you have great plans for me. Anyone will be blessed to have me in their life. You've never lied to me, and you know me in and out. I want to be yours for life; more than anything else in the world you are the best. Please don't ever leave me and I know you will never break my heart by letting go. Well, this is My God in view.
Now to the love of my life. I don't know what I would do if you let go, you are all have been looking till I found you I look no more. If you let go, it will break my heart even if I don't show it. Please, hold on tight till the end with me and don't let go. Please do hold on closely even in my good and bad times be there for me because I will be there for you. Your sweet and lovely smile gives me hope and I see a future with you in it. I will wait for you till you agree to go on with me.
No matter what we may be passing through now, please don't let go and I pray and trust God to lead us to the right track. Even if sometimes we want to give up, as long as we try again we will get what we want. I am sure someday we will be together and live happy as one that lives in paradise.
I don't know what I would do if you let go, because I can't imagine you letting go. I won't even let you go even if you want to but I know you won't. You are all have been waiting but now I got you. When you let go, it will break my heart even if I don't show it. It will hunt my soul. Please, hold on tight till the end with me and don't let go because those that laugh last laugh best.
Let's keep our hopes up and alive. Things will get better. Don't let go. I don't know what I would do if you let go, this is the course I must go for in the journey of life. To love somebody that will bring about my love for everybody. If I can't love you right, I can't love others right and my claim of loving God is a lie. Please, hold on tight till the end with me and don't let go. I will give as much as you give to me.
Don't let go, don't let go.
Please don't break my heart because I won't break your either. Our heart is made up of flesh, not glass or stone, so let's have these hearts for each other. When you let go it will break my heart even when it is not a glass. Please hold on tight until the end because if you let go it's about to be a war and I don't want to find it difficult to love again.
I love you from the bottom of my heart and that is why I'm saying this. Though I may not have all the earth believe me if I do I will give all to you. Love is the only thing that keeps us living in this crazy world as am concerned. Without love, there is no meaning to life neither is life worth living for. God so loved the world and gave His only Son to save the world. This is the power of love. Let's keep our hopes up and alive because we will soon get to our destination. Let's keep strong when times are rough. Hope gives me the courage to move forward in all that I do.
I am so happy you were placed into my life and I thank God for you every single day. I can't think of anything better than to have you in my life. Before I met you, I was lost and hopeless but believed one day someone will come. I needed someone to give me a reason to wake up every morning seeing the big picture of the future with you in it. This song is for you...
https://youtu.be/PGYsO1nOVDo
I pray that one day, you will see how much I love you, that I truly do love you with all my heart and soul. I pray that one day, you will trust me and know that you are never alone, even though we are miles apart, I am with you and will always be with you. I can't wait till the day we meet again because I miss your hugs. I miss your smile and everything about your wonderful personality. I can't wait till we are together forever, so we can show each other just how much we love each other. This is to my baby boo AAR
So, you are ready to commit your life to the Lord? I don't know what I would do if you let go. He should be the only one you depend on. You can pray with me; Please, Lord, help me to show how much I love you and don't let me go, so I can serve you for my all lives. Right now I am nothing. No one to care for me as you do. I feel like nobody in this world as if I was born in this world for nothing. You are my everything, my lord. now I am giving myself to you. I love you, Lord! please save me, my dear Lord.
Thank you for your time and for reading through.

Best of Life
Hello, I'm Okanla David. I am from Nigeria and I live in Lagos - Ogun State.
All my life, I have always desired to live my life to the fullest. I don't want to remember things I didn't do and regret later on in my life. Though my life is in the hands of my Creator God in Heaven, whatever He tells me to do that I will do and I will enjoy doing it by His grace. I love to help people around the world and I have a huge passion for everything about life, success and prosperity. My purpose here on earth is to show the love of God lifting up a standard to know God the more and to help people with my experiences and knowledge to make a difference in this world.
I'm here to tell you that there are solutions to everything, every problem has a solution! One of the interesting things about life is the problem of one person is another person's testimony. So where you are today or what you are passing through today, someone has been there before and they did overcome.
Whatever you do, be honest, true to yourself and have faith in God. That's the best advice I can give you. Enjoy life to the fullest, life is to be enjoyed and not endured. The Best of Life is to live life to the best we can, life is too short to worry, to live in hate or regrets. Life always has its own way to place everyone on a balance only if we believe. Enjoy life to the fullest and it shall be well with you.
I never had a single day that I did not experience being happy, thankful and hopeful. Life is too short to be worried about the future, the past or about anything else. The more you worry the more you lose out of life. Life is beautiful so live it the best you can. Fear always stops you from doing what you want to do in life. It is fear that stops you from moving forward in life; it is fear that gets you stuck in situations that are not good for you, it cripples your spirit and it breaks your willpower.
So fight to overcome your fears, fight back in life, stand up and be ready to move forward. Let faith take over and take control of your life. And if there is a situation that worries you, find someone who can help you through your situation or pray to God and He shall answer your prayers.
Life is life, and we must live it to the best we can and more people should learn to love life; enjoy it when it comes to you. Life is a precious moment to treasure, be blessed every moment, every piece of time should be cherished. Life is not just a journey it is a destination at the end of a journey.
Let's live life to the best we can, life is too short to be depressed, to live in anger or pain. Life always has its own way to place everyone on a check and by what we think we are life treats us as one. Enjoy life to the fullest and it shall be well with you. Life is too short not to enjoy it. Take every day as a gift from God and perform it to the best you can. Life will always find a way to balance everyone, as long as you believe.
https://youtu.be/-Bo4oWK22bk
Let's live life to the best we can, life is too short to worry and fear, doubt and regret of things that didn't turn out as you planned. Just choose to enjoy life and have inner peace.

My Choice
The world is full of choices and people are faced with them on a daily basis. I'm faced with some choices that are not just mine but also when others are faced with it too. Choosing is one thing we do as humans, there is no full stop when it comes to choosing.
Sometimes we are faced with a choice that disturbs us, we have to make a choice that will disturb us and it's not easy. At times, choosing can be very difficult because there are many factors to consider. Choosing is hard because you have to put all the factors into consideration, you have to weigh your options and take time to study them.
Choosing requires you to be patient and lots of prayers because you need some divine intervention for you to choose the best option for you. I know you already expected it right? That's just how it is, it can be either a disappointment or a relief when you hear it. It's your choice.
When I read some articles of the day, I saw them as a daily bible devotional. I can hear the voice within me as he reads the scriptures and the song that was playing in the background made everything so powerful.
I know it's a choice I can make, I can't give up because, at the end of the day, I have to live with it I mean the choice I make. Faith is the biggest strength in me that's why there's always a positive outcome when I make choices. The challenges I have right now are only tests of my faith to see how much I have faith in God. I know there is always a positive outcome in everything I do. I just have to believe and trust in God.
When I have problems before, I would pray and ask God to give me the strength and wisdom to choose the right choice. To guide me on my way so that after all the choices have been made, everything will be fine and smooth until I reach my destination.
What a struggle it has been, I wish I could face this, confidently but life seems to be the opposite. Fear, worry and faith seem to be the opposite of one another and how do you make it look like they are all together and not fighting each other. I know we are fearfully and wonderfully made, but like I said before nothing good comes cheap.
Life is too short to live in fear, worry, frustration but in faith. We need to know that when we fail, God will always find us. When things go wrong and you think everything is going against you, stop for a while and have faith that things will never be the same again. Like Mark Twain said "The only way to live happily is to live in expectation of things that never happen" so get up and shape up. You can do it.
Have Faith in God and tell your problems to him not anybody else because they are meant to happen, they are the reason why things never stay the same. You need change, you need to see something new, you need better things and God wants to give them to you. Use it wisely by helping others who are less privileged than yourself. I think this is what Jesus did when he was on earth, with his help we can also make a difference in this world.
I can not choose my parents, who they are, what they are but I could choose to love them, appreciate them and see that God has given me something special. I could also choose to be like them, experience every hardship and pain they had gone through just to make sure I don't end up in that same situation, I could choose to be better than them. I could choose to obtain knowledge and wisdom from them.
Choice is something we have but only a few are willing to work hard enough to achieve it. You can choose whatever you wanted to be, do whatever you want to be with but in the end, you can't choose what will happen in your life that is why you need to always be positive.
I realized too late that I have to choose the way to go, I want it to be easier than this but nothing good comes cheap. I know I have to work it out, do things right and make it right. As the saying goes " all things come at a price" and so, the choice is mine.
The Choice is always ours... There are so many roads we can take in life and there are things we can do and choices we can make that can bring us to the target we have in mind but only if we believe in our choices.
I choose to walk in this path cause it leads me home to my Father, I trust in His grace and mercy, I know He has a plan for my life even before I was created. I know that when I choose not to listen to Him, He still loves me, He will not waiver from His plan for me to be victorious in this journey called life.
I choose to trust God and know that He always answers my prayers. I have faith that He is able to do whatever I need. He will provide and never leave me. I may feel alone and like no one is listening but I know that He's in control of every situation and will use them for my good. I choose to believe in God and that is My Choice.

Do It Yourself
What a strong will to survive in the world we live in and we can only live as brave to make it have. You will always be glad you did it yourself and succeeded. Think of yourself succeeding while doing it yourself, I will always think of the example below when I think I'll be having a hard time.
In 1960, Leonid Rogozov, a 27-year-old surgeon accompanying the Antarctic research team and the only doctor on the team, suddenly developed a high fever and pain in his lower right abdomen. He immediately diagnosed that he had appendicitis and that the hospital was so far away that no one could save him except himself.
He planned carefully how to do this operation on his own and asked two of his teammates to be his assistants.
General anesthesia was not possible, and he was only injected with the local anesthetic drug Novocaine in the abdominal wall.
"There was a lot of bleeding, but I pressed on, opened the peritoneum, I accidentally damaged the appendix and had to repair it, my head was getting dizzy and every five minutes I had to rest for 20-25 seconds" .
"Finally I found the damn appendix and I saw black spots on the tail, which meant that in another day it could have perforated".
But he didn't fail. Two hours later he finally got the last stitches in.
After taking antibiotics and sleeping pills, he fell into a deep sleep... and two weeks later, he was back at his job.
This is far beyond a strong will to survive, it is just the kind of will to succeed which other options are no option at all and underestimated survival instinct to succeed. Also, one other person had to cut his own arm off with a goddamn knife to break free from a boulder.
We ALL have this powerful force **within** us but will not be triggered till it test of time comes. We just don't know it until something like this happens. Most especially, when they discover they are at risk of dying, will do all they can to survive, no matter how painful. I won't say he is lucky or they are lucky, it is the price they have to pay to succeed and survive.
I guess most of us do what we can to survive. I have been through several things I expected others to help me with but they couldn't till I had it done myself and with excellent results. It was not as bad as I expected, based on things I heard, beforehand, but it wasn’t easy either.
I would do it again without having to think twice if the need arose again. I enjoin the principles of doing it yourself, especially when I'm underestimated in some way. I’ve heard so many people say they wouldn’t do it, they have this, they don't have that. I guess some people feel too overwhelmed or exhausted in some situations.
No matter what you are looking out for others for, trust me, you can do it yourself. Some people already saw the glorious ending of their dilemma but because they don't see themselves winning they give up. Giving up shows how weak you can become while trying, again and again, shows how strong you can be. If you have no one to do it for you, why not do it yourself and enjoy the feeling of succeeding? Well, this is a call for self-empowerment. You can do it, you can do it yourself.

NWP - Nigeria Wedding Plan
Planning the wedding of your dreams can be a big deal here in Nigeria. I wonder how far this has been, you want something for your wedding, your spouse wants another, families want another thing, invitees expect something else and so on. Nigerians we are in and out of ourselves, how I wish wedding can be done just in a way everyone can fit in someway somehow without mental struggle. For wedding planning, a lot goes into it more than what meets the eye.
I was re-reading some old files and came across this, thought of sharing it with you all. Hope it will help you discover what your answers are.
Wedding planning in Nigeria is a herculean task, we are talking of the possibility of failure at every corner. The thing is you are up for trouble, the people that make this trouble for you have never been to the house or venue and do not understand anything. When it comes to your wedding, there's so much that needs to be sorted out, everybody has a desired plan for you but will likely cave in when the time finally arrives.
Weddings are supposed to be a memorable event of your life, celebrated with friends and family. You will want to make sure that everything is perfect and that you do everything to make it look like it was all your idea. Wedding preparations could be a big deal here in Nigeria.
I wonder how this can be done without mental struggle, disagreement, dispute or shortcomings. Nigerians are much concerned about party events, they attend to see the organising, coordination, decoration, delicacies and the likes. A large percentage of people in attendance are there to check on what will go wrong to talk about. But, many of them forgot that they will also do their someday and what goes round comes round.
Wedding planning these days have become a big deal, ceremonial measures here and there, family attire, clothing and wears, feeding, hospitality, people coming visiting, accommodation and the likes. Nigerian weddings can be so hectic sometimes, with pressure here and there till when the event is done.
Wedding is one of the most memorable moments in life. It brings people together to celebrate the union of two hearts. The wedding ceremony is a day to rejoice as the bride and groom commit to a new life together. Choosing the right wedding vendor can be tough, but Nigerian Wedding Planner will save you the stress if you can pay their demand. I desire to have the best ceremony possible. I pray for a quiet number of services that will help me plan a flawless wedding.
Preparations for weddings could be a big deal here in Nigeria. Some take loans to prepare, some borrow, and some rely on people, friends, families and close confidants. The best thing to do is to commit all into the hands of God, do the best you can and don't plan above your means. In the end, it will end well.
You know when you want to invite your relatives to a wedding, there is the issue of how far your parents were invited. You want to be in control. You want everything to be perfect. You want things to go exactly as planned. It’s like planning a mission impossible, it's made up of so many variables that it’s almost impossible to plan it right.
Just commit all into God's hand, do the best you can and don't plan against your ends means. People will always find something to say both about good things and bad ones. Leave public opinion to the public, do your thing within your reach and guide your joy before, during and after the event. Remember, the end intention of the event is celebration and happiness. This must always be in view all through the process till the end.

Pray More, Fear Less.
This is all about prayer, a spiritual exercise to comfort and relieve oneself from anxiety over various matters of life. It is a tool that helps us to connect with God and in turn ask for help when we find ourselves stuck on a problem, that has no solution or answers with human intervention.
In a word, prayer is a spiritual exercise. We pray because we needed divine intervention on matters of concern. We pray for a besetting sin that has become a way of life. We pray for our children because they have strayed from the path we have set for them. We pray for peace in the land because there are constant conflicts and uncertainties that threaten our very survival.
We are designed to make consistent prayer and to do it with ease. Pray brings together all prayers in your life and puts them on one platform. Pray is a spiritual exercise. We pray because we needed divine intervention on matters of concern. The more we are committed to prayer, the more we believe and hope for answers to prayers.
Holy Spirit provides a place where you can track all your prayers, both answered and unanswered, so you don't forget to pray again. Our reminder system gives us the right time to pray for each prayer request in your life.
Praying for money should not be an exercise done by a dole-out-loving beggars who live by the creed that nothing is possible without the blessings of "hustle, and grind.
Prayer is a spiritual exercise. We pray because we needed God to intervene on matters of concern. The more we are committed to prayer, the more we believe and hope for answers to prayers from God. Prayer is not a magical charm that solves everything in life, but it is a powerful tool and force for good when it works for positive achievements in life.
Prayer is a spiritual exercise that involves so many elements. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and dependence upon God. We need a deep hunger and thirst for God in order to pray more effectively. Prayer is an act of will and a means of grace.
Prayer is a time-honoured way of communicating with God. Prayer takes us beyond our human shortcomings to a place of divine intervention.
In this day and age of "instant" everything; we are capable of doing almost anything instantaneously, except for the one thing that will solve our problems. That is to pray. Prayer seems to be the one thing that is constantly challenged in the modern world because we want a quick fix.
Prayer is a spiritual exercise that takes patience, faith and trust in God. If you prayed, you may have felt a strong sensation. It is an expression of deep faith and trust in God. The more we are committed to prayer, the more we believe and trust God for answers to prayers.
However, to pray more is to fearless. Fear kills faster than death itself. We pray because we needed divine intervention on matters of concern. The more we are committed to prayer, the lesser the fears we have and our hope is strengthened.
The bible has a lot to say about fear and faith. On the surface, it may seem like the two contradict each other. However, there is a verse in the bible that says:
"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." (Matthew 21:22)
"Fear has torment, but hope has no torment." According to Psalms 91:5-6 "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Prayer is a unique kind of communication that man has invented. Prayer is an art of speaking to God and listening to him at the same time. Fear kills faster than death itself. The more we are committed to prayer, the lesser the fears we have and our hope is strengthened.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Fear is a distressing feeling aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; an anxious concern (as of something unpleasant). A worrying situation causes dread or terror because of possible danger, pain, etc.
Fear causes stress and anxiety. Our fears can also cause us to live beneath our privileges. Fear hinders us from living out our purpose and potential. When we are consumed with fear it's hard to invest in our present or the future. Rather, we should be feared because For example, do you remember that we are fearfully and wonderfully made?
We pray because we needed divine intervention on matters of concern and to deal without fears. The more we are committed to prayer, the lesser the fears we have and our hope is strengthened.

Anxiety
I am a perfectionist. I do not like when things don’t go perfectly. Or when they go wrong. Or when they need to be corrected. I want to get it right the first time. I want to fix them before they come out the door. I want to make the corrections before the public sees them.
It is my nature to worry about things that I could not worry about, or need not worry about. I am a worrier sometimes. Why do I have to worry about a thing when I needed not to? It draws me backwards in my dealings.
I lose self courage when I become worry. Anxiety will always make you reflect on what will hold you down. That is a big deal to deal with.
Why should I worry that no one has visited my blog over the long weekend when there are much more important things in the world? Why should I worry about the need for a new laptop when there are children starving in Africa? Why should I worry if my backlinks are not pointing to exact page when there is difference in agreeing on something?
Do we really need to live a life of constant worrying?
The answer is yes and no at the same time. We all should be worried but at times different worries concern us differently. What concerns you should determine what you should be worried about and how much you should be worried about it.
If you were to ask, “ what is anxiety”? What will you say or answer, Hmmm... I have never got time to think about it. Go with the flow and let the things go their own way, even if you get regrets later. The moment you give chase, that’s the beginning of your worries.
The first symptom of anxiety when something comes up that is not going according to your wishes. You give up easily. You start to panic and become restless with the situation. When you are facing a problem that needs correction and still yet to be fixed, it can cause anxiety.
Hate is also a symptom of anxiety. A person who is filled with anxiety may hate things with passion and nothing you can do or say can make them feel any better. You may begin to hate what you once loved dearly.
Anxiety is the state of being worried, frightened, or alarmed. It is often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints, and rumination. The word anxiety comes from the Latin word anxietas, meaning "uneasiness".
I must have been a worry child. My parents have been telling me this from my childhood. It even attracted and amused my relatives to my little funny ways full of fears, troubles, concerns and worries as I grew up. They were right. I became a continual worrier until I realized how it was dragging me down than building me up.
I must have carried on this nature to adulthood, as I find myself to be worried in every aspect of life. Chased by my thoughts, I do not realize that it was just a great burden! It blurs my vision, hampers my actions and slows me down.
Whenever I do not know what to do, Anxiety was there to help me out. When I need a Right decision, it gives me a wrong advice. When I am searching for answers, it gives me useless questions. When I am determined to succeed, it is just there to make sure that I fail.
It even became worst when it made me think about the future. I thought to myself “Life is uncertain” and tomorrow would never come if I am still worried about today. I realized that Worry is one of the poisons that blocked me from becoming successful in life.
This is a question that is common among many people. The reason why people feel this way is because they are not comfortable with what has been catered for the future.
What people need to understand is that anxiety is not a problem. At times, it will come in handy.
This is due to the fact that anxiety helps you to think about what will hold you down when you are doing certain things. For instance, you may be writing an essay and you suddenly become worried about how your teachers will react to your essay. Well, this is the time when anxiety comes in handy. Some people might even help the process to be more worrisome.
The feature that I like about anxiety is that it makes me think twice before doing certain things. This is a good thing since it will make sure that I won`t do something wrong or hurtful to other people. It also gives me time to reflect on how I will actually execute a plan.
This may be because anxiety gives us time to think about how our actions would affect the results we get.
The only thing that is irritating with anxiety is that it turns out to be a pest which always makes me think of failure. This makes me lose confidence when I think of something new I want to engage in. It is true that nothing is permanent in this world but I like to make sure that my action will turn out well or not before fully engaging in it.
Any anxiety can be seen as a state of worry, fear, apprehension, or even panic. It's an emotional state characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.
It is like you need to know what will happen next, yet you don't want to know at all. It is like you need to be reminded that you are fine yet you begin to wonder what exactly is not fine with you. You don't feel good about it. You become restless when you get worried. You feel like sitting down, thinking about why this is happening and what else is going to happen. You feel alone even when you are with someone who cares about you.
God help me... Help me take anxiety to my advantage having all I do become perfect and full of certainty.
Thanks for reading through...

Consistent
Who’s the best in their field? The one who’s been doing it for years, continuously and consistently. This is the purpose of consistent, consistency and engagement.
If we want to achieve greatness, we must apply consistency and engagement, if we want our dreams to come true we must engage with consistency, if we want our routines to be effective, we must be consistent. We can learn to be consistent with our routine through time of engagement, consistency applies to time.
One of the most consistent things in our lives is our dreams. Some may say that, consistency is boring… but it all depends on how you look at it. We have all had a habit of allowing consistency to slip from our lives. Avoiding the mundane, and seeking out the extraordinary keep us happy. This is the beauty of life. But, we must keep in mind that one of the biggest lessons in life is to have consistency in your actions.
That is why I tell my story every time I do so. My passion for seeking out knowledge for the growth of humanity will never die, but what keeps me consistent is knowing that there are more than a billion people out there who are in need of assistance and guidance.
We all experience hardship, but what makes a person great is overcoming the distress and adversity after being knocked down by the storms of life.
I often find myself thinking about how strong I am when facing my fears or enemies; this keeps me confident. To get a second chance at life is truly amazing and I am grateful every day for my second opportunity to be here on this earth.
Consistent. How often do you pursue your dream? How much have you put into it? How often do you keep at it? Consistency is what keeps our dreams alive, if one is not consistent in one's dealings such engagement will wear out. The same concept applies to our interactions with others, either positive or negative, both reinforce behaviours, positive reinforces positive and negative reinforces negative.
Consistent. How often do I pursue my dream? How much have I put into it? How often do I keep at it? One must learn to be consistent. Consistency is the only key to success, when one has achieved consistency in one's endeavours then success is bound to follow. "Consistency is the greatest of all military virtues, for it makes provision for emergencies without sacrificing flexibility." - Bao Zhongming; If a person is consistent in pursuing his or her dream, engaging time and time again in the process of creating his or her dream, then that person will be successful.
Consistent - How often do you pursue your dream? How much have you put into it? How often do you keep at it? Consistency is what we should always keep alive, if one is not consistent there will be a break, pulse, barrier, limitation or what have you.
Writing it out on paper doesn't mean you will remember it, writing it out on a screen doesn't mean you won't forget it, keeping its memory in your heart doesn't mean you are going to remember to try it, or even remind yourself of its influence on your choices.
Consistency is what keeps our dreams alive, if one is not consistent in one's dealings such engagement will wear out.
This is presented to you and me "Consistent" a song that triggers great happenings and to achieve greatness in our world the importance of consistency is paramount in all things. A lot of things we don't do, we know we should do but procrastinating steals our desire to be consistent. We need to keep reminding ourselves that persistence doesn't come overnight.

Correction
Correction refers to the act of changing a previous action or behaviour. Corrections, such as the US Constitution guarantees in terms of governing, are implemented to ensure that the rights of people are not taken away and that they are given justice. Perfection can only be achieved when you know first what it is. To be able to know perfection, you need to recognise imperfections. We all make mistakes somehow.
We are all confused at least once in our lives and we all need instructions to get it right each time it happens. When it comes to corrections, people that believe and make amends become better aftermath.
Hence, do not be ashamed to ask for correction when you are wrong but do not forget to be corrected when you are right too. It's a weakness not to correct yourself but it's a bigger weakness not to correct your error. It is human nature to avoid being corrected but we must have the courage to listen and be corrected. It helps become better.
There’s an African saying that goes: “There is no path without a turn, no river without a bend; no growth without resistance.”This means that we are a product of the paths that we take and life is full of twists, turns and bends. We can only grow through the resistance we experience. These corrections or turns in our lives serve as directions to lead us to where we should be, helping us achieve our full potential.
All humans are prone to erring, making mistakes and lapses in judgement. To err is human. We all make mistakes from time to time. Correction is an essential tool in the pursuit of progress and ascension. We need it because we become a better version of ourselves.
In life, some things can either make or break us and in most cases, it is self-correction. Self-correction is the best way to ensure one becomes better with time. When you correct yourself, you have your own guidelines that you have set for yourself. Correction is a self-improvement method that can only be attained by being in a constant state of learning.
In life when you refuse corrections, you cannot become an improvement of yourself. Yielding to corrections enhances us to become better than we use to and even become the best at what we do. Because of the unending efforts of numerous individuals in this world, errors have been corrected and thus have formed the current constitution of a country (even in government).
The things and people that made an impact in your life, that changed you and you cannot forget, for me it is my father, my mother, my teachers, my friends and every book I read. Every change I've experienced in life are from these people, these things and these moments. Most especially, the word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
For me, the history that I would like to leave would be the one full of contributions to better lives of others. My legacy would be the one of a person that did not accept his fate but chose the right correction to become better than he use to be. To love your country, to love your family, to love what you do and to be happy with all of it is the only way to yield good results in life. To seek corrections are the first step before anything else.
God bless my sponsors
So once upon a time, the only way to correct errors was to write or print a new copy of the document. Correcting documents was a time-consuming process. Today, even computers have to be corrected frequently! A mistake can result in serious damage. Over pthe ast years, since my upbringing corrections are never outdated or irrelevant.
Nevertheless, keep living, keep learning, get corrected and never stop improving.
