Stay woke
This article is coined from a new communication slogan around the world. It is exactly as it sounds. A command or an instruction: Stay woke.
No one can really claim ownership of their world if they are not always alert. Those who give up on themselves, life and their world can also not win the battle to claim the ownership of their world. No matter how hard it may seem, no matter the trials you may have to overcome, the discouragement and contempt you get, the lack of finances or resources, the changing times or reasons, you must stay woke.
The spider is known to always try and try, but no matter how many times it falls, it gets up and tries again. No one ho is recognized to have become something today relented in the pursuit of their achieving success. Does it mean they did not go through challenges in their lifetime? No! Someone said, "Every success you see took at least ten years to achieve." Failures and trials are the foods of the great. To be like them, it must be your food too. Therefore, learn not to in away from the problems and challenges of your life, but to run on them. Let them be your stepping stone to greatness.
The Ben Carson, Robert Kiyosaki, Joyce Meyer and many more are celebrated today, because they fought for their greatness regardless of their background. Why do you then think you have an excuse to give up? The only way your efforts would matter or be celebrated is if you stay woke.
You cannot be "balling" when things are not going as planned in your life. You cannot be sleeping or resting when you have not achieved result. You cannot leave to chance whether or not you would make it in life. Anyone who follows life in such a way is doomed to fail. Failure s not when you did not succeed. Failure is doing nothing to ensure you win. There is this popular saying, "winners never quit, and quitters never win." To win the battle against the challenges of your world today, you must have the willingness to keep on going. Keep pushing yourself. Be more determined every day to not relax until you make it. Focus on your tommorow, not your today. Like I mentioned earlier, the challenges of the world are inevitable. In fact, they are there to make your accomplishing greatness mean nothing. If anyone can be great, it is no big deal then. No one should be celebrated. Nevertheless, greatness is celebrated today because of the ability to have overcome the ups and downs that brought you there.
Do not permit your challenges to move you to give up or relent. Rather, let them make you more determined. You cannot have started out on the journey to success and gone through trials, only for you to now let the challenges of the world hinder your success. It makes all your efforts fruitless. Therefore, be determined to stay woke from today. No blinking until you surprise yourself and your world. The success of many is tied to your success.
May every form of distraction towards your achieving success be destroyed from today. Wether they be gains, past glory, or shame, let them sieze to exist in your life. May you become powerful enough to achieve greatness, and free to reign in life as a king.
Endeavor to do the following;
1. Separate from anything or anyone who makes you feel you need not to achieve more in life.
2. Decide to break the record of your family and community for the better.
3. Do something that would inspire another to break the limits of their world for good.
Thanks for your time.
Common mistakes singles make in a relationship (part 3)
***Hello my happy readers in here, just as I promised, this is the third part of '********common mistakes singles make in a relationship'.***** ***If you are just coming across something like this for the first time, please do well to visit my wall for the part 1 and part 2.***
***Hope you understand my points and read meaning to it as always.***
**Indecision**
Many of the singles of these days cannot authentically decide what they want. Rather if you ask them, they will tell you "we are waiting for God", "anyone that comes". My friend, any one is equal to no one. You have to decide the kind of lady and young man you spend your life time with. You have to decide wether fat, slim, tall, short or average, and not anyone that comes your way because, having a goal is the beginning of the journey. You can not have a successful thought without having a vision because what you see is what you get, and whatever you cannot imagine, you cannot manage. For you to be successful in your relationship you must imagine first the kind of man or woman you nee, not another person to point your spouse for you. Some people allow their father, mother or uncle to decide who should be their partner. You are progressing in error. Some even allow their religious leaders or heads to decide who should be the right person for them. The project and prophetess can only speak. The action is yours. Be careful and decide what you want.
**Over Reflection**
By over Reflection, I mean the alarming rate of disappointment that occur in these days' relationship. Relationship of these days is built on the foundation of lies. Girls lie to guys, guys lie to girls, and they promise what they can not fufil. They deciever each others and break each other's hearts. Instead of you to break out of the broken relationship you are busy mourning, reflecting how you started, the kind of love you used to give each other, how you spend your money, your time and energy before you got him or her. Because of this simple reason you are killing yourself for what is not existing, this is timidity.
This unavailable person has pushed you into psycho emotional trauma. You can no longer see any man, or lady as the alternative. Because of that, you are rejecting every available person that makes offer to you. My friend, because one door is closed does not mean another bright way will it open, but if you close the new door against yourself, you do that to your own detriment. Look at yourself twice; you will not remain young forever. That is why someone says your two eyes were planted in your front head so that you don't over reflect about the disappointments failure, frustration and rejection of the past, but looking ahead for success. If not, one eye ball could have been planted at the back at least, for security reasons.
Over Reflection about the past simply means, you are attached to the person in flesh and in spirit. You are interested in waiting whether he or she will come back to you again. While you are still waiting, don't you think you are waisting your time? My friend forget about the past and move ahead, You will surely one that is better than that last one, because the later rain shall be better than the former.
**Idleness (Lack of entrepreneur)**
Entrepreneurship as one of the points that waste your time;talks about how you will be economically empowered, that is identifying an opportunity either business, jobs career, craft etc and take advantage of it. There are people that strive to make the difference by creating working atmosphere to improve their standard of living and their relationship on the basis of self reliance by engaging different types of investment opportunities that will add value to their life. May be it is because you are idle that people are running away. No man or woman will marry a liability or want to connect themselves to that kind of person. So if you want to be noticed in the kingdom of relationship, engage yourself economically and see whether you will still be believing in God for partner.
There is a popular saying that an idle man is devil workshop. Nobody will love to dine and wine with devil, so staying at home every day and claiming to be in love is a bad practice.
While you are waiting to have job worth of 100 thousand before you start working, you can start something. Someone says the only technique you need to be economically empowered is the ability to negotiate and sell anything. So start something and be noticed. Gone are the days when people get married believing God for what to eat; and gone are the days when people marry to become full-time house wives. What I'm saying is that, the economic situation in most countries today demands individual contributions to stabilize the relationship. Be careful, don't be a psychological reactor. As a single, you have all the opportunities to do something great for sustainability.
***Should I say this has brought us to the end of the thread? No! I might point out some of these bullets for singles in my subsequent posts. Probably, it won't be tittled part 4. But if you have enjoyed part1, 2 and 3 so far, then watch out for my next articles. Also, feel free to comment what you have learnt so far, which of the mistakes you have made in the past, currently making, or the ones you would like mostly to avoid below in the comment box.***
***In life, we all make mistakes but the exceptionality lies in the power to take corrections and become better.***

Common mistakes singles make in a relationship (part2)
***Hi guys, this is the second part of "common mistakes singles make in a relationship". If you haven't read the part1 yet, check my wall. I hope you read meaning to it.***
**Confusion-Lack of direction**
It is a known fact that most of singles these days do not really know what they want. They can hardly identify their own. They do not know how to score goals, when to score the goal and who to partner in scoring the goal. They are all swimming in confusions. Some singles of our time are specialists in dating married men and women just because of money. Yet they are still having young singles around them on the promise for marriage, why are you mixing old and new wine together, who is going to drink it? If eventually the bottle breaks, who is going to be at loss? Are you not in confusion? How can you have two captains in a ship? Can one person serve two masters at the same time? Can you be a medical doctor as well as a practicing lawyer?
Are you not confusing yourself? Watch out for your thought, for your thought is your character, and your character is your habit, and your habit is your destiny. By the time your thought confuses you and you serve two masters at the same time, after the discovery you may miss them both and you will be at the receiving end. Be careful!
Recently I was in a seminar as a guest speaker. After my lecture on relationship, a young man walked to me for counseling, that he is having affair with an older and a married woman for about seven years. That this woman trained even trained him throughout his University with her money, that it is after the school he then discovered both of them can not get married to each other. He then went on to his hometown to look for a young girl for marriage. After the introduction, a date was fixed for wedding, wedding card was out. All these things were happening without the notice of the sponsor, (the woman). It was in the process of distributing the invitation cards that the woman got to see that card in a hair dressing salon where she came to make her. The woman was shockee, confused and angry. Before you know it, she was in police station to order the arrest of the young man in order to recover her possession, and this young man was as poor as could be imagined. He said after everything he served 3 years in prison and missed the young lady he printed invitation card to marry; what a frustration because of that confusion. Be careful and take correction, and never let your economic situation - financial state of your family to direct your actions by doing what you might not have necessarily done.
**Balanced Equation**
One of the universal moral norms in social relation is the norm of reciprocality. Psychology makes us to understand that, in every social interaction there must be concept of giving at an equitable Leve, this concept reminds us to balance giving and receiving at equitable level in social relation.
Most of our singles who feel they are running out of time or because they will not like to break the heart of their fiancee, takes every expenses on their head to ensure the relationship is intact. Some of the singles even rent apartment for their friend, make their partner to be fashionable with the lastest styles. My friend: you may progressing in error. That your dependent and demanding fiancee, may be keeping you because of your fat bank account, your business that is scattered all over all over town the country etc. The day you loose your job and all your money, I am afraid you may lose your fiancee too. So don't overspend to keep relationship. Allow your spouse to contribute too, because people will always do well if they are part of decision making that will lead to their achievement in life.
Confirmation
Testing each other is one of the criteria to be satisfied while in a relationship these days. If you are in a relationship and there is no testing, it will be regarded as mere friendship that can separate any time any day. Many people at the process of this confirmation will lose their pride-virginity. The more they undergo the test, the higher the level of their depreciation in value. By the time you rubbish the glorious parts of your body to a partner that may not eventually get married to you, the higher you risk with your marital destiny. Singles can be moved by sight but if the harvest of what they see is contrary, they will reconsider their earlier position.
You cannot imagine, allowing someone that will not marry you to tap all your richness or nutrients to remain the chaff for your destined husband or wife. How will you feel if this person you are dating now test you and drop you again? Be warned!
Do not permit testing or proof before marriage, if he/she loves you as claimed, let them abstain till the wedding night. If they insist, they do not love you, remember you may fail the test. I'm afraid this may be the reasons some married people go out or have a date with someone else. Therefore, to alert the future breaking of home, you must endeavor to maintain your dignity.

Common mistakes singles make in a relationship
**Double Dating**
One of the acidic element in a relationship is double dating. Double dating introducees itself into relationship because of past experience, lack of trust, unfaithfulness and other reasons that are not cogent enough. Singles no longer trust in each other, they disbelieve their fiance and fiancee. Because of this obvious reason, they double date in case of any event of disappointment from their spouse, there is nothing wrong for you to be wise, not to lay your eggs in one basket but it will be a pity if the basket fell at the same time. How? If the girl or the guy got to know themselves, they might decide quit the relationship without notice. The result is that you have wasted your time; energy and fiance within this period and you might be considered a flirt. So I advise you to change your orientation or possibly stop it, because is ungodly, immoral and inhuman. It is not fair. Change! How will you feel if you discovered that your fiance is in courtship with another person. Change because what you do to other that is what God will do to you. The golden rule says, do to others what you want others to do into you.
Do not be decieved, whatever a man shows that is what he will reap. When you double date, you will surely crash. Even nature will repel you, if your life straight. There is nothing wrong if five people ask of your hand in marriage within the same season. What is wrong is, you accepting more than one person at the same time. Quit one now if you are guilty of the offence.
**Overstaying in a relationship**
Some singles overstay in a relationship just because of emotion, pity and fear, fear of who will marry me if I quit this existing relationship. Immediately you discovered that your relationship is not working out, quit. My friends, overstaying in a relationship can Mar your marital destiny. It has power to make you late in life.
One of the holy books, the Bible say " everything on Earth has time, time to be born and time to die, time to be single and time to be married". Whatever thing that does not have ultimatum cannot gather momentum. If your relationship does not have direction i.e goal oriented, but the only thing that is keeping you in the relationship is "Let us pray for God's time" i.e for manna to fall from heaven, my friend, you have stayed longer than expected, because every time is God's time, the manna is falling everyday. If that man or that lady is not your wife or your husband you will wait for this manna and it may not fall. I promise you, look at yourself, before you can say Jack Robeson you will be out of time. Be careful!
Recently I was discussing with a lady who was in 11 years relationship, a man promised to marry her when things get better, they both suffered together and reasoned together. This Lady did not know that this young man is a green snake under a green grass, pretending as if he loves her. This Lady was swimming in the river of ignorance for eleven years. It was after this elevnth year that this young man brought in his wife and thirteen years old boy to introduce them to the lady as his wife and son. The lady was shocked and she threatened to kill herself before people came to her rescue. Wow...what a mess!
Overstaying in a relationship because of fear if who will marry me if I quit, because of emotion, pity and love, feeling without a specific period for marriage can make you late and be out of time. Watch out for men and women of this generation.
If you cannot hear God's will, you should be able to read between lines. Those reasons why your marriage should be postponed, are they genuine? Read between lines you may be under great deception.
**Competition**
Competition is a direct struggle between two r group of persons pursuing the same goals at the same time one the same platform. Competition in a relationship has to do with more than one ladies dating one guy with a sense of settling down withe guy or more than one men dating one lady for the same purpose.
Our singles of these days are fond of making such critical mistakes just because of ignorance, some of them think this Lady or guy will be the person for them and will be threatening to harm anybody who attempted to take away their God given Angels or even harm themselves. If you kill or harm yourself because of a guy or a lady, you will miss a million of guys and ladies. So it will be stupid, Carlos and reckless for you to have such evil mind that has power to undermine your marital destiny. Don't think that way because for the fact that one way ends does not mean another one will not begin or open. If you find yourself in such a mess, caution yourself and quit the relationship. If not, you will end up wasting your time. You must be careful.

19 Lessons life has taught me
***Life is just full of lessons, these are some of the few I have learnt so far.***
Life has taught me that everything that happens in this world happens at the appointed time.
Life has taught vme that my wealth acquired through dubious means does not last.
Life has taught me that an evil man who does his or her evil deeds in secret will someday be exposed.
Life has taught me that a man without a problem is a dead man.
Life has taught me to use what I have to get what I need.
Life has taught me to do the right thing at the right time and never to postpone today's work till tomorrow.
Life has taught me to trust in what I believe than to put confidence in man.
Life has taught me that charity is a virtue of the heart, not of the hands.
Life has taught me that in many endeavors, quitters don't win, and winners don't quite.
Life has taught me that happiness is the perfume that you cannot pour on others without getting afew drops on yourself.
Life has taught me that the easiest way to sustain our name on Earth after death is not by having make children but by the quality of life we lived while here on Earth and how positively we touched the people around us.
Life has taught me that with a good manner of approach, one would often have ones request granted.
Life has taught me to rather walk with your belief in trouble than walk with man in time of pleasure.
Life has taught me that as you make your bed, so shall you lie on it. And it's a fact.
Life has taught me that one good turn deserves another.
Life has taught me that no condition is permanent. Things change every now and then.
Life has taught me that secrets should not be revealed to talkative because they will reveal them.
Life has taught me that a good reputation is better than expensive perfume,
and the day you die is better than the day you are born.
Take life as it comes, life is full of **ups** and **downs**, as we all know and of course we dislike and resent the **downs**, because they hurt us yet the down may be more valuable to us than the **ups**. Do not put too much trust in human friendship and human remedies. Things of human can be only a limited help in daily need, if you depend on them too much, you are doomed to bitter disappoinment. People who are for you today may be against you tomorrow. Those who please you now may dissatisfy you later in the future.
It's actually good thing that we cannot always choose what life brings to us. We will choose timidly or stupidly and remain unhappy to the end. So we have to take things that comes up in our lives as they come but that doesn't mean we don't make choice and pick up challenges.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of Noble characters are trusted. So, place yourself in your favourite category.
If you have liver, you get silver, if you are bold you get gold, if you don't fear you get diamond but if you are wise, you have all. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
**Life is so precious and sacred, let's defend it.**
A lady gave a beggar food, after sometime he gave her a later that left her in tears (fiction)
This is a fictional story of a lady that helped a beggar with food and after some time, the beggar gave her a letter that left her in tears. The storyline is not reality, it's purely product of the writer's imagination but it will sure teach everyone a lesson.
In a certain community called Kature, there lived a rich, influential and very mean lady called Matarey. Due to her meanness and the amount of money and respect she commanded, men were scared of approaching her for a proposal. They all saw her as someone way beyond their league.
In the same community, there was a poor beggar known as John. The young boy had no choice than to beg after his parents died and all the properties of his parents taken away from him. He was forced at a young age to enter the streets and start begging. John's life moved from enjoyable to punishable and every passing day, he had to beg and prostrate to passer-by to get food or money to buy food.
One day, Matarey was passing the street, he was begging and being a rich lady, John rushed her and started begging her for food. Matarey was surprised and also angry at the same time because all she had in her box was the food she had earlier prepared at home. Her car was at the mechanic, so she was forced to trek down the street with her legs. While she wanted to shout at the boy, she also considered giving him the food she was carrying because he was looking so weak and terrible.
After some moments of watching the boy beg, she decided to give him the wonderfully prepared meal she prepared at home. The boy collected it and thanked her so much. Matarey went to work that day and when she was coming back, this time with her car. The poor John waved at her car and gave her a piece of letter.
The letter read; "I have been starving since 5days ago, I would have either died or committed suicide today if you didn't help me" this piece of writing terribly broke her heart, she even found it difficult driving home after reading what the boy gave her.
That day, she got home and couldn't help but cry and cry. She then made a decision to adopt the poor boy as her son, so that he won't be tempted to commit suicide or die of hunger on the street.
That little kindness you show to that random fellow in need today might go a long way as to saving his/her life. It might seem too little to you the giver but the receiver will definitely value it to the fullest.
The woman in this story didn't know the suicidal plan of that boy, she only saw a hungry fellow and decided to help but in the process, she saved a life.
I believe you learnt something from this story? Drop that in the comment section.
Being kind is worth it!

Prioritize Priorities
The word priority implies a status established in order of urgency or importance. I would define priority to be the value you place on something or the value you place on any given situation. The task of prioritizing your priorities affects your decision-making process. Whether or not you would fulfill your purpose in life depends on how you prioritize your priorities.
A man who puts friends over his wife and children has a wrong priority. Anyone who puts life over themselves has a wrong priority. To overcome the challenges of your life, you need to learn how to prioritize your priorities. In life, things ought to be important depending on how they affect you. Before making any decision concerning your life, you must weigh them properly then, decide not based on feelings or emotions alone, but on importance and urgency. You must also learn to hold on to the decision you have made without wavering. Life and its circumstances will test your priorities as well as attempt to push you away from track. Hence, you must prioritize your priorities.
**STAGES AND TIMING**
Life comes in various stages. Setting one’s priority right at each time of life would help you conquer your world. If you miss out in carrying a particular obligation at the right time, you have to bear the consequences of doing so later. This is where prioritizing your priorities comes in. it is the ability for you to choose between options, which is best carried at a particular time and which could be left for later. To commence plans to marry at a less than twelve years old in some culture is an example of the impact of not prioritizing your priorities.
*Don’t forget that to everything there is a season*
There is time for everything in life. In every individual’s life, there is a time to accomplish a given thing. There is a time to plan and a time to enjoy the fruits of your plan. A time to acquire a skill, a time to get married, a time t move from one level to another, a time to get acquainted, and so on. Without prioritizing your priority, you could find yourself doing the wrong thing at the right time, and the right thing at the wrong time.
Acquiring a skill is more important than getting a job. Planning your life is more important than facing your life. Calculating your needs is more important than making money. Choosing to do the right thing is more important than the pleasures you get for doing the wrong things. Prioritizing your priorities is, therefore, an important intelligence in getting to the level of your dreams in life. Knowing where you are going to and what you are looking for always makes the journey faster. Some persons are still where they ought not to be today. So much of life’s challenges can be taken care of if you would permit yourself to prioritize your priorities.
**THE PROCESS**
The process of prioritizing your priorities is not as easy as I have made it sound. Nevertheless, it can produce favorable results than I have penned. To prioritize your priorities is to follow a process. The process of using time to weigh the good and bad impact of your decisions, seeking counsel, asking questions, making researches, making a list, thinking real hard about the things ahead of you in life, and committing yourself to follow your decision. Granted, it is no easy task. But, as you do so, you would bring clarity, understanding and finally success to the nooks and cranny of your world.
Only a few persons follow this principle, and they are the ones at the top of life. I believe you want t be there too. Enduring the pain of prioritizing is more rewording compared to the pain of its lack. Most of the people who have regrets today are those who did not prioritize their priorities. This is not to say those who prioritize their priorities do not have issues in life. Prioritizing is an issue of its own. It is, rather, to say life works out best for those who prioritize. Therefore, always stop to consider the things calling for your attention before you embark on your day, week, month and year.
May the wisdom required to identify things as they are important begin to work with you from now on. And, may life value you more as you prioritize priorities.
You can take a decision today, any stage you are in your life right now is not too late. Try and put the following into practice and you would definitely reap the results.
**Make a list of the things you must do.**
This is a very important step in prioritizing your priorities as you must have to know the things you must do before having to choose which one to prioritize at a given time.
**Re-arrange the list to determine which one should come before the other.**
**Divide the list into what you could do yourself and what /you could delegate, then begin working on them with a deadline in mind**
***I don’t write these things because I have a perfect life, I do because I have prioritize the priority of affecting life positively in my own way.***
Danger of Pride and Indecision
**PRIDE**
In life, challenges are meant to spur us to do better and not to mar us.
Quite oftentimes, we are the architects of our own downfalls. Our mouths have landed us in more troubles than our foes. We have regularly claimed to know all hence missing the big picture of a purpose-driven life, which is centred around the spiral arc of teachableness and corrigibility!
There's always an irreconcilable difference between self-esteem and pride! They're not same. One is class while the other is crass!
Do not think about what people say about you. That's actually none of your business. Your business in life is to mind your business. Thinking about what meddlers say should be the least thing you do.
If you set out for a journey and decide to throw stones at every dog that barks then I'm afraid you wouldn't reach your destination! You may be bitten and beaten!
DO not try to be everyone's friend. If you do, you will bring sorrows and unending troubles to yourself because some people are already troubled and they're looking for who to trouble not befriend!
Those men who picked Jonah in their ship suffered the consequences. They were trying to be nice to a guy going there way! You know how it ended!
**INDECISION**
Indecision is a dangerous thing. Sometimes you've to stop being scared and go for it whether it works or not! There's no crime in trying! Those who are indecisive in life are the ones causing unnecessary traffic on the pathway to success. They're shilly-shally on the highway of life hence slowpacing others who are willing to enter action with courage! As My friend would say, courage is not the absence of fear but it's the mastery of fear.
Until you begin to make decisions when others are still sitting on the fence, you'll fight over leftovers from the tables of the decision makers.
Life is not a sit-and-watch game. When you're in doubt, do not act because your will is already compromised.
When we were much younger, we used to jump over gully canals and obstacles. A fun thing to do as kids. But tremendous lessons we learnt here. Whenever you are running to jump over an obstacle, and fear strikes, and the consequences of the peril flashes, the drive to cross over the hurdle fade away instantly. Your greatest enemy is fear! Yes phobia of the unknown
FEAR= False Experience Appearing Real!
Life Is Not Fair
I think I speak for the rest of us when I say life's not fair and it will never be.
Life will knock you hard on your knees and it will wait for you to get up so she can kick you on the face. Life will give you lemons, therefore make lemonades out of it.Dont sit crying about the sourness of lemon but be thankful to God for the gift of lemon and the might to change the lemon into whatever you want. Life is a respecter of no one.
Expecting life to treat you well just because you're a nice person is like expecting a lion to spare you just because you're unarmed.No way,it will devour you with ease and crush you to your bones,sip away your marrow and transform you to absolute Oblivion. Life will kick your butt while shouting I'm not fair. Yha want it,come get it. Life will give you a pugilistic blow like Mohammed Ali in the boxing ring.
Life will take away your loved ones, beat you black and blue till you feel weakened and beatened to pulp and it won't spare you another blow until you courageously face it and say enough is enough. Life favours only tough people, little wonder the old saying "tough time doesn't last but tough people do" is evergreen. The aphorism has outstayed it's generation yet valid and undisputed.
In this journey of life, you're going to meet people who'll promise you heaven on Earth only to deliver you the real personification of hell. Some people will want to take advantage of you. Others will outsmart,outwit and play you. Some will defraud you and use you. You'll be betrayed by lovers, family and friends. People will make you prefer wild beast to humans yet you must not loose the ultimate purpose of life. For the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.
You'll need people to help you attain your dreams. Some will do it free. Some will want a win-win. You must be impetuously careful. Anyone who helps you and expects you to help them in return is a business man and business people can do anything to gain profit. They're never kind and they never mind how you feel about it. Their eyes is on the profit side of the deal.
They're blindfolded by the insatiable desire to accumulate wealth at the expense of humanity. You must be eagle eyed enough to be kind to both good and bad people. Everyone you see in this world is fighting a hard battle, please be kind to everyone you meet . Strangers on the bus, colleagues at work just be humble and kind to the bad mostly. Only by so doing shall you preach the gospel of the universal brotherhood of mankind.
Life is like a mining field. Others go to the feel in the morning and they keep digging till sunset yet they never reached for the diamonds while others, at the first cut of the loam, they hit and swim on the spindletop of gemstones. Remember your fellow labourers who have been in the feel since morning.
A little share would do. Show little mercy. Give to the needy don't be greedy. Extend a helping hand to the heavy laddened and wipe the tears of the sorrowful. A little act of kindness would go along way in this struggle for a better world.
Rulers of today and their cunning ways
The rulers of today have succeed in stratifying the world into classes for easy manipulations and manoeuvre. They know how omnipotent unity of purpose is.
Therefore they schemed out to use divide and conquer to keep the world perpetually manipulated and hypnotized! They control the media. Anything you see on the television is a script. It is staged, directed, censored and edited. Truth is polished to suit their ego.
They keep us fighting each other instead of fighting the real enemy. We are separated together like multiheaded hydra. They use skin colour. We all know no one is born hating anyone for their colour until we are taught.
Yes that's it. That's where the stereotype begins! The rulers of this bizarre world also introduced political parties and boom, party chauvinism is practiced. People set buildings on fire when election didn't favour them. Innocent blood is spilled because of election.
Yes, they're pawns in the hands of underworld. Then they brought ethnicity, sexuality, regionalism and the most dangerous of it all- Religion. They know what each of the different Religions doesn't want to see and what irritates them. Whenever they want to spark a conflagration, they bring the story up and boom, we start playing to the gallery ignorantly.
All because of their greed for money.
One more thing, they want you to squander your income, the little they give you out of the many.
Here is an advice for those who doesn't know.
Don't spend too much money on girls. Yes even your girlfriend. A girl who loves you won't want too much money after all!
Spending too much on a girlfriend is like building a mighty castle on a borrowed land. It's a big gamble of some sort.(Gamblers are prone to heart attacks). Marry and spend money on your wife. Your wife is the real deal. She's your fortified fortress. A friend that hardly leaves even when things go wrong! A money-mongering girlfriend would leave you once you go bankrupt, but not a loving wife!
While money is important in life, money should not be a lifegear of a futuristic relationship. Some girls cannot function without money. Knock them out. It is not your function to pay house rent for your girlfriend or even food her bills. That's a preposterous practice. It is the same practice that get women objectified! As a popular man would say, it is not the responsibility of a man to take care of his girlfriend. It is the responsibility of a man to take care of his wife and children.
I'm just a writer trying to reshape the world by pouring out my heart but still ready to learn in the process.
So don't hesitate to correct me.
It's Rancher.
Live fully, Die empty
I do not pride myself in my achievements, for I know that given enough time, all my achievements will be trashed by someone more intelligent, smarter and gifted than me. For this has humbled me in my noble quest for growth and greatness.
Nevertheless, I think it is wise if I establish some universal truths as thus: It is impossible to do all that people want you to do-But you can please one person-God
It is impossible to please everyone no matter how hard you try; you can’t be liked by everyone. And no matter how good your intention, there’s someone out there who will always misconstrue and misunderstand you. Little wonder, people will always try to tell you what to do as if you’re a robot.
They will make jest of you for not being wishy-washy. They’ll ridicule you and try to impose their wills on you, even those who are total failures and disasters in life. It is not your duty to seek anyone’s approval. Your life is not democracy. You don’t need majority support to make a life changing decision. You don’t have the luxury of time to waste seeking people’s validation or love. I don’t know much but I know this, even if you share oxygen free of charge, some folks will be angry with you for not allowing them to die of suffocation.
In the same vain, I have seen patients on sickbed attacked doctors for trying to snatch them from the verge of exiting this world. So many well-intentioned people have been misunderstood or even attacked! But God will never misunderstand or attack you for pursuing your purpose in life. For it is said that the ultimate purpose of life is to live a life of purpose. An ardent believer of life’s purpose once said if you don’t have a purpose for living, you don’t deserve to live. As harsh as that may be, it encompasses zillion sense. As a matter of fact, a purposeless man is a nuisance to the entire world’s population.
Sadly enough, life of quiet desperation and aimless pursuit is commoner than table salt today. Our young girls have price-tagged themselves such that anyone with money can entice and lure them into aberrant relationship. Young men suffer from the millennial disease called the get rich quick syndrome. We have been coned and defrauded severally by Ponzi schemers repeatedly but no one seems to abstain from Ponzi scheme or gambling.
Dr. Myles would always say shortcut is the longest way to success adding that gambling is highly demonic. All these activities have common denominator which I termed a 'purposeless-driven life!' Our generation is one of the busiest in human’s history.
Everyone is busy doing something or going somewhere. Don’t just be busy in life. Don’t confuse activity with productivity. The butterfly is busy just like the bee but the bee produces honey and butterfly gives nothing. One can be busy without a purpose.
Some, out of lack of definiteness of purpose, keep jumping from one relationship to another, others keep changing churches, and some keep changing friends not knowing they’re the problem. Others subject themselves to some form of torment thinking it would solve their problems but it never does.
Conclusively, I will posit that what matters is not what people say about you when you’re gone; it is what God says about you that count. Do not lose the count counting what doesn’t really count!
