Warring To Overcome Anger One of the greatest enemies we all have to battle with are not always from our friends or neighbours but mostly from our habits that needs restructuring, one of the supposed habit that could pose a threat to us is the common anger, yes common anger, it starts off as common until its not so common anymore. Anger exist in us all, and you know as crazy as we can be, we sometimes take pride in the severity of our anger, for instance two people are getting into an argument, you're most likely to hear one of them say " you don't want to see the other side of me". As much as anger is bad, most of us pride in it. One bad reason why anger should be intentionally war againstis is its controlling power, when it takes over, there is very little to do to return to that calm state, you see someone who is furious already, he or she keeps ranting on and on, going tro and fro causing mayhem. Mostly until the deed is done do we see calmness return, then the deed done Starts playing its part, and that's the crazy thing anger has to offer, it's effects never ends. That action you took while you were very much angry is the bait in there, and while you were taking actions, you never knew you were taking on the bait, a bait that might as well hunt you for a longer time. This is crazy guys. I have experienced a lot of things gone at the hands of a smoke of anger uncontrolled. Many sweet and enviable relationships ended without a chance of coming back again. The havoc and choas that could have been averted but not, rather it has created a very huge rift, a rift that would take more than a lot to fill up. Anger works aren't so easy to amends, especially when the actions taken were in deep hate at the moment. Imagine getting into a fight only to injure someone so bad, how then do you apologize after you both has called off the fight and settled it all? Do you have flesh to place back on the others beaten injury. How then do you keep an eye contact with such person in a discussion, when your mind Keeps reminding you that you were the cause, like "take a look at what you did, you did that" you'll think the person hasn't forgiven you yet. Saying sorry has never been the answer to all disagreements and conflicts, especially in the case of anger, saying sorry can most times cause more hatred, why say sorry now the other can say, so after all what you did, now that's its time for me to have my revenge you are coming with apologizes, no way. Just like a nail it to the war by mistake, after it has been discovered to be a mistake and the nail is taken off, the hole ( which is the bored nail effect would still be dear and cannot be easily closed up. Deal With It One way to easily deal with it is to plan before hand. When I'm in a gathering of people who are so annoying, especially with the choice of their words and how they do the things they do. I immediately know this guys may step on my toes, so I say to myself I won't get angry, no I would bear it and stay happy. They aren't worth the stress and anger, I simply choose to stay happy regardless. With this self proclamation, its easier for me to remember not to loose my cool, so I don't go taking actions that I might regret later. Another better way is to know who I move with. You could choose to go with the first option, but you won't be able to do that every time, for sure one day you'd have had it to the brim and can't take it anymore. So best still is to know who are the people you associate with and know what they are capable of. Those ones who are sure to bring out the worst in you, should have limited time out with you, even as you try cautioning that you're not enjoying their patterns of speech. Anger truly brings out the beast in us, a quiet guy today who is well respected could be taken for a beast with people drawing far from him because of a one time display of anger. They forget we are all human and we could easily snap out of our cool and just go crazy. But it's detriments are so bad, you don't want to work with that, anger breeds so much hate, learn to dissolved it within and not express it. The Bible says the sun shouldn't set on our anger, we all can be angry, yes old, young, teens, anyone and everyone can get angry to the extreme, enough to cause a catastrophe, so we all need to work on it, look within do you have anger issues, now is the time. Its good you work on controlling it. If there is one thing we humans need to war against because of our nature, one of it would most definitely be anger. Work on how you act on getting annoyed.

Worth More Than Gold To Me A very few things and persons I hold so dear to my heart, this persons or things are worth more than gold to me, it's because of how they have been with me overtime, through my ups and down, they have found a way to make me live easier. No doubt life is working better with them around. No they can't be plenty, cause not everyone can fit in the shoes, no everyone cares, not everyone can inconvenient theirselves for me who has his own life to live, so I have come the realize the importance of this people and I have placed them on higher esteem, much more than gold or any monetary value. Before I dive in to who or what this people or things could be, I'll still elaborate more on what I mean by saying I hold them of higher regards than gold. By Gold I'm signifying wealth, riches so enormous, like gold is a word used to signify the majestic nature of a person or thing, so me saying this things are preferred is another way of saying there's no amount of money that should make me lose my loyalty to them. Well "that should " is the choice of word I used, because currently I know my stand, however being human tomorrow is uncertain. Like if Peter could deny the great Jesus who he saw do miracles, who then is Will Travis. Without further delay, I'll highlight a few things or people I've come to hold on high regard compare to gold. Peace : I know while I kept writing "things", someone could have wondered, why say things. You see my peace of mind is one thing I hold very high and don't want anything to temper with it. I don't see the offer currently that would make me want to jump into trouble. Don't you like how you can sleep with your two eyes closed or how you can walk freely on the streets back and forth, now to imagine that ones life is threatened, which of course means that the money can't be satisfactorily enjoyed, all the money would matter less when life is being threatened. So my peace must come first, like the saying goes, where there is life there is hope, we can easily let that offer slide off knowing that a better one can surface in the future, than picking up huge offers that might lead to an end of ones career or worst still ones life. Especially when you know there are people closely knitted to you, people who can't stand the fact that you're being troubled, cause your problems are theirs, you sure don't want them to go through that stress of worrying. Family Oh yes, you know right, I can't trade them for anything, of course we fight and quarrel at times but the love way surpasses the fights. These group of people are our born fans or supporters, do you see the importance in that. I have an elder brother and he was big, back then while we were young, he would have my back even when I'm wrong, he still would support me just so I don't feel down. Mom would literally go the extra mile to see that we are happy. Now we are grown and we are seeing how the outside world is, with everyone minding their business, no one truly care how we do or what we feed, no love outside, now imagining our childhood was without family and we spent it in the hustles of the streets. Apart from my siblings whom we are growing together, already I love them and we have the closest relationship compared to me and my parents, so you know I can't trade them neither for anything in the world, but you see anything I ponder on how much my parents has come through till date, I can't help but know that not only won't I trade the world for them, I in return is ready to offer the world to them. Family first, its best that way, they always come through. Amazing Friends The segment of friendship always meets betrayal and denial but nevertheless you'll be lucky to have a good friend, one who is genuinely a angel sent from above. I have a friend currently that I know I can go the extra for. Like if you brought a huge some of money for me to betray him, I'm ready to not only reject the money but also fight you in the process, because I'll be nothing short of a devil if I do. Well its all subjective with time, as I still can't know what the future holds but I sure pray that the friensship extends beyond the end of time. My Faith I wanted to say I can trade God for anything but then I realize I don't really hold God as my possession, but what I sure do posses is my faith on him, my undying belief that he is the one overseeing the affairs of my life and my world at large. Christianity as my religion has done me more good than I can count. I faith in God Almighty has brought about so many miracle, some in fact that has drove me to tears even as a man. You know somethings happens and you know it can only be God. I mess up at times, and maybe if trails and temptations comes I might fail but this I know right now is that I love God more than riches and I can't trade him for anything I'm earth and beyond. I have highlighted few of the things and persons I can't deny for any riches, they mean much more than everything to me, they top my scale of preference as my top priority. You too know those that you hold in higher regards too. Feel free to share too. Stay loved guys, its God Over Everything. Thanks For Reading.

Ember Month Unfolded - New Month Joy Its now more clear to me that the year is almost at its end, stepping into the new month wasn't the reminder, I mean I've stepped into many months already, but as soon as I realized we've gotten into the ember months I quickly recollected that we had 4 great months left from this September to October then following is November and Lastly December. One thing I know for sure is the year is almost closing and like every last minute timing its the best time to Put in more seriousness, the best time to be more intentional about getting that stuff done and actualized. This months have no doubt made me realize a few points to note, I have realize that this months gives me some unusual feelings, feelings I don't usually get and some others I get but whenever it gets to this months it becomes more pronounced. More Hunger For Money Probably owing to the sense that December is around the corner and that means festivity calls already so people are more prone to start seeking for ways to get more money, seeking for ways to ensure that comes on or before the close of the year they should be able to cater for all what they plan to do. No doubt the expenses are always cumbersome so it's wiser the preparations starts now, however this strive for more income, for more money has it's negative impact on people and the world at large, which makes the ember month a month we all need to be more careful. Call To Be More Careful Its a time to be more careful because the world is a crazy place already and with that sense of urgency to get somethings done, there's no doubt people would be ready to do some crazy things, not minding who they affect of their way up. Growing up I've noticed how our prayers intensities have increased once it gets to this time of the year, cause you begin to see funny occurrences all around, it's almost like it's a extreme time of the year, no one truly stays in the middle, it's either you're so so happy or so so sad, cause everyone is putting in their best. Sense Of Competition Its a time for competition, remember how the close of a school session always brings about exams results where we know who has done better than others, as much as you try to feel good about it, you can't help but be pressured and tensed to hope you did better too, not really because of your angry parent but cause you want to be able to boast in front of your peers. Same goes with real life settings, towards the end timing like this months and the next 3 upfront we would be trying to ensure we have somethings to show at the end. More trickish is the fact that no one needs to say anything, no one would call you up to say "hey mike how many cars did you buy this year" or "hey marry did you get married or engaged this year", or "hey Jane were you able to win major contracts this year" no one would necessarily do that, but then you'll know its a competition from the attitudes and pride you see all around, as much as you want to care less, you know you'll feel better when you have yours also to show. Well as long as we know we're doing our best then there's no need feeling bad or envying someone elses. More Family Time Now you can anticipate that family time out, when you get to spend more time with your family and just rewind, from now, it becoming more relaxing to think in a few months I'll be relaxing, the sense of family resting is truly a delight. Most of us has been away from home for a long time now, and the festivity time is the time to head back home to meet mummy and daddy and catch up with those memories you miss. For the married ones, it could either be getting the kids to see their grand parents, or it could be planning a vacation time out. One thing is certain, the September till December time sure makes us know that family time is soon coming. More Gratitude To God Almighty Wouldn't you too be more grateful, I mean do you know the number of people who couldn't make it to this month, but we all present here today are only living by Gods mercies and grace so we've got to be grateful. Everyday brings hope, no matter how bad things get as long as we have breathe in our bodies we sure can get better results, we sure can see turn things around to get a better result. Everyday we have to be grateful but this months are times that truly sends us a more serious feeling of gratitude. Over 8 months gone and 4 more to go, indeed we are grateful lord. So congratulations everyone and happy new month to you all, the month of September is a blessed one having a lot of goodies in store for us. Let's stay hopeful and expectant of God's goodness being more evident in our lives. Stay strong guys, we would surely see the end of the year by Gods grace. Happy New Month. Thanks For Reading.

Learn To Sell Yourself Do you know how much you'll gain if people knew what you've got to offer. One major area in all companies that can never be joked with is the area of sales, if they aren't ready to make sales then I only wonder what motivated the business idea into reality in the first place. Sales is Paramount, both the product sale and as in this case as being discussed "the sale of our person", sell yourself and what you entail, let the world be aware to know this is me and this is what I do and I do it very well. Day in and day out we begin to realize the number of competition outside, you might be doing a trade so well but you've to share your potential customers with the many people who are also in your line of business. No wonder we sometimes wish we could kill all our competitions and enjoy the monopoly of our trade, so we can do as we please with the price. Its not bad to feel such way, the world of business isn't an emotional place but we all are binded by law so we must act accordingly. Anyways there is enough to go round and that is the solid truth, enough to spread amongs sellers, however not evenly cause the most recognized takes a larger portion. So what do you do?, have you seen a need to sell yourself to the general public announcing what you do and making it clear that you do it so well and you're readily available. Fastly the social media is become already a great tool for career and public boost, see what marvelous things people are doing with Instagram, twitter, tik tok, all this platforms has been recognized to having millions if users which in turn can turn into good business for them. The trick is locate where the people are and stay there to sell yourself. A singer which is a more popular scenario would always want to go to concerts or send his music download link to as much people as he can connect with. Not because he wants more friends but because he wants more people to be aware of his capabilities, you never know who among the many people you've talked and connected with that would be bringing your next big deal. Sell yourself guys, people need to be aware of who you're and what you can do so they know who to call when the time arrives. Selling yourself is another word for saying create awareness, we are the face being the business, we are the brain behind the idea, we are also those who would take the profit thereof, but if we don't try to come out to the open or push our craft out for the world to know, see and acknowledged then we might be static in one position. Imagine a business striving without getting people to patronize, useless right, now people would only patronize what they know, so we need to make people know us and be aware of what we are offering. Selling ourselves is good for outshining the rest competition out there, plus what you're offering must be of preferable standards. A good and standard product would surely motivate and cause more attention to the public. No jokes when they say life is a market place, everyone has something to trade with, you just have to discover yourself, it very much could be your source of livelihood. Not everyone is feeding off education today, so many are feeding of talents and skills, as long as we have something desirable and worthy of exchange cause it's valued then we can work with that, try boosting it so as to increase the pay out it offers. The best way to boost up your existing source of income is to get popular. Yes get popular, its not easy to get popular though but you can maneuver a few steps into getting popular. Popularity isn't an easy task no doubt, but you can try. That which you know how to do, get doing it and airing it on media platforms then try geytijh followers, another way is via advertisements, yes this is quite a trick, the trick is using a popular brand or platform to get popular for yourself, when I mean yourselves or as I say "sell yourself", I don't mean that your physical presence except it's a talent or skill Job that requires your physical presence, but for products sales, selling yourself is likened to promoting your products. In the long run making more money is the main goal, the reason why we should sell ourselves to the general public, the reason why we chase for fame, the reason why we toil day and night is so we can make a few extras to earn us better comfort, when its actualized and truly yet after a better comfort has been achieved we Still won't stop wanting more. Our needs are insatiable you know, the popular are trying to get more popular as the rich is still striving to get richer. This is the daily drive of humans. With this you'll understand that the competition out there is crazy,everyone is trying to earn is spot, don't be surprise there's someone who's praying to take your position, therefore we can't afford to relent. The next plan to greatness is to become well known and recognized and this would start by we selling ourselves to the world. This is what I do and I do it well, oh yes I'm the guy for the job, a try would convince you. With this we push for more popularity, because with more people come more sales and with more sales comes more income. That is more money for you. Thanks For Reading.

How Big Do You Dream? Well I don't mean the dreams of a sleeper, I know few of you would take if for "how big are your night dreams, do you go so deep into the ultra realms", but what I'm really trying to buttress is how deep do you aspire. Call it aspirations, call it ambitions, expectations, whatever you call it as long as it's all a future plan then it's still a dream, your dream for the future. However its not a must it would be actutalize, same way it's not a must your dreams at night happens in real life, some aspirations if not worked upon won't happen in real life settings too, this not withstanding it could still be actualized. So let's say you're up and doing, very active to pursuing your dreams, how marvelous would your dream be?, would you limit it to what you feel is more realistic, something you know you can put your hands around so easily and achieve or would you set a high mark, not necessarily one that is obviously unachievable by you, could be one you know with hardwork and more dedication would be achievable in the future, with that we start running. To a greater extent we all need to dream, and not just dream, dream knowing fully well that we are capable of achieving it. Sadly people limit theirselves to dreaming low. Reasons Why People Are Afraid To Dream Big 1. Background Where we come from, our family history, our environment, who we have seen and lived with has a way to shape how we also envisioned ourselves. Imagine having a older brother who you know for a fact is brilliant and well cultured, and after schooling and the professional certification, yet has little or nothing to show so as to be tagged highly successful. No jokes the aim of everyone is to be highly successful enough to make lot of cash, but when the people you've expected much from and held with high regards don't really meet up it has a way of demoralizing us. 2. Finances / Huge Capital Ever had something so strong in your mind but when you calculate the amount you'll be needing to kick start it and you notice it was so much, how did you react, did it make you quit that ambition. This has been the story of most people, their dreams where so deep but it had a lot to do with money, money which currently wasn't at hand, and such money too was so much they didn't know where to get it from. All this just frustrated the dream so much that they had to rest off it. Like just give me a break, I can't deal with this anymore and try to reduce how much they aim and settle for that which they could do presently. 3 . Mental Destabilization It doesn't necessarily need to be a medical problem, so many things can put us off mood, we begin to deal with so much that we don't remember to dream anymore. Of course when you sleep you can still dream, I mean you don't remember to dream, to aspire, to work on that heart felt ambitions. Sometimes it could be lack of peace, yes dreaming deep has to do with the mind, so when you're not at peace, its hard to put your mind in check so that you can dream. Often the mind drifts far away into another realm, we would need more concentration to return to our dreams. It could be lack of joy, resulting from a recent quarrel and fight, or from a break up, or from the lost of someone dear, all this are natural occurrences that can limit people from dreaming as sometimes we just lost the vibe to keep going. People don't deal with this very well, in fact we look for reasons to be lazy and when something like this happens, instead of trying to heal, we mostly want to keep dwelling there, in a few years when someone asks "why aren't you moving", its easier to reply " oh I was heart broken and since then I've been dealing with a lot ", or " I lost someone dear and so it still hurts". Well come off it and face reality guys. These dreams are important and needed. Importance Of Dreaming Big. Enjoying The Top Benefits I look for a way to summaries all the benefits into one sentence and all that comes to mind was "The top". Even if you don't get to achieve the full dream aspirations, as much as some active steps was taking to push for it, I bet there would be benefits in store already. Also it has a way of teaching people close to you, especially your kids, the benefits of setting goals and moving with it, cause they saw you and you did well. No doubt with this you would have done somethings that were formerly impossible to you and this would give you that assurance that nothing is impossible when we put our hearts to it. Personally I feel like the greater benefit to this would be impacting people so they too can dream big. People won't flock around an unsuccessful man to tell them his secrets, it's always the successful that's always beckoned on to speak and teach the people, with them being truly attentive, like who doesn't wants to be successful too. Plus imagine how much influence we could have at home and our kids, we would be truly happy with ourselves. Thanks For Reading.

Finding The Root Cause Of Any Problem Its often deeper and more than what meets the eye, the problem or issues anyone might be facing today may simply be an extension of something else, something that already happened and wasn't treated rightly. For example someone's attitude towards you might be so off and you begin to wonder why so much resentment for you, you should be aware that people don't mostly react to that hurtful stuff you did to them that instant but that creates an unpleasant attitude from them to you, so you might be feeling they are annoyed because you stepped on their white shoe today but no its because of what you did last year. Often if you don't try to identify the root cause we might be wasting time trying to heal or amend current issues that would surely spoil tomorrow. As much as finding the root cause is important in works like engineering, doctoring, education and many spheres of life, finding the root cause is also great for us as humans. When there's a leakage and spillings starts to overflow, more than you should concentrate on containing the spillage, you should lay more emphasis on identifying what and what caused the leakage, this way we can stop it from reoccurring. Maybe we should learn to ask the question of what did I do wrong, where did I go wrong, I thought we were good before then why such attitudes all of a sudden, and hope that persons open up. It might be an issue for the person to work on as it's not your fault, or it could be your fault and you need to know before you make such mistakes with other people. So when it comes to interactions issues maybe something went wrong somewhere of which it'll do us a lot more good to identify the root cause so as to stop it. In another sense, finding the root cause is a good way of helping someone find solution to a problem in their life, as some of the problems maybe arising from traumas of their past. Some thing that has happened to them before and they Still have the imagery playing in their heads and influencing their decision. Like some marriages aren't going well not because their love is lost, but cause one of the partner is still traumatize by their past and hasn't yet dealt with it. For example a rape victim who didn't get proper counselling and therapist before going to marry her dream man, only for sex to become bitter and hateful, something meant to be enjoyed now being endured. The man in such case may have to put up with a lot, bearing and enduring but with limited patience. The right step however is to find the root cause, then and only then can they seek for a solution. If the wife tells the story of her unfortunate ordeal then they both can plan for a therapist and counselling which would soon lead to an end of the issue. So we begin to see the need of finding the root cause to a problem. However it starts by opening up to saying the truth. If the matter is conceded then nothing can really be done to make matters easy. Imagine that friend refusing to say this was what you did wrong which got me upset, you can never know, and worse still you might continue to do that same upsetting thing, cause you don't know. Imagine the wife not opening up to her husband about her past rape case, the husband might get frustrated trying to find solution, might be feeling he's the one doing something wrong. So it goes both ways, both parties has enough to play, one has to find the root cause for such problem, and the other who knows the root cause has to open up to saying it out, this way both can work hand in hand to make things right, work hand in hand to amend all that needs to be amended. I don't think anyone is a mind reader, or a psychic who would just know what the problem is, your friends are not, your spouses too are not, nor are your family so therefore if there is a problem, do well to say it out, so they would know. Its better to say I told you but you didn't listen than to concede and keep malice. It would also do a lot more good to us if we treat people right regardless of what they have done, more like finding a reason to love them regardless, however this is hard cause we are human but its very achievable. Same way our parents wouldn't change their love treatment to us cause we did bad, same way we must learn to live. Not for the benefit if anyone but ourselves, this keeps the mind at ease, this ensure you're free spirited and less burdened. Forgive so you save someone the stress of finding the root cause, for other cases open up to speak so solution can be proffered. Thanks For Reading.

Understanding People And Their Differences This is vital to our daily coexistence, to know that Jack is different from bill and Mary is different from rose, there is no particular law to generally bind everyone together so you can simply follow and you'll be at peace with everyone. I bet you that no matter how good you are, some people still wouldn't like you, oh in fact they would step on your toes and pinch your last nerves. You also aren't exempted, as you also can be very annoying at times, some people you make smile while some people you know you're stepping the border lines, well all this exist and life keeps being interesting. Accepting peoples differences is one of the first steps to peace coexistence, only then can we take out time to know that person for who they truly are, are they emotionally matured to accept some things or not, would they understand your humor or take it as they will, have they gotten any past experience that would disrupt the manner at which they see and treat life currently, are they always smiling genuinely or hide a lot of bitterness behind a smile. All this and more would be know from careful engagement with another individual. Peoples differences are not their suppose to be their weakness, we are supposed to learn rightly in the course of our living so as to turn such weaknesses into strength, however currently its a weakness to many of us because we haven't yet seek to correct our flaws. Like that is past of the essence of living if I'll say, to become better. As I strongly believe heaven is the goal, so earth is the game stage and for us to scale through with better scores then we have to learn. Already learning never stops, not with age, not with time. So everyone must learn and possibly adjust to the seriousness of our living right. How bad it is that many have learnt via experiences, sometimes such experiences aren't so lenient, sometimes such experiences steals something so painful that we can't help but always remember to adjust. However its more blessed and better to learn because we have heard and believe its the right thing to do. Life's journey teaches us all, and with our differences comes the different hurdles we are going to face, in other words our differences determine how our life games would be played. I'll explain further. A good example is someone who is quick to anger, already we know anger is a natural occurring habit, but we have to learn to curb it as far as we are living and are going to keep interacting with people. So someone who hasn't yet learnt to deal with his anger issues would someday get into trouble, cause from anger comes bitterness, it sure last a while but that moment it comes, be sure it's going to do enough damage. Sometimes if you go to jail because of anger then you should be consider lucky because anger has caused much worst. Many have died, many have lost something or someone they can never get back, many good marriages has been dissolved. So that is a difference someone can possess but it has given him a different game to play form another person. Another difference someone can possess is excessive ego. Another person could be jealousy, envy, another could be insecurity mainly resulting from past experience, some could posses more than one of such attributes and this all changes their game differently, this adds to what makes peoples different from another. That person having jealousy has a habit would experience a different live game cause while the angry would be dealing with fighting, loss, regrets from actions, the jealous might be dealing with covetousness, stealing, hate and the likes, such as which would create troubles too. However its a game of life we identity our flaws and work on it to be better. Not only are there bad differences, there are also good differences too, which could be a cheerful heart to always want to help, not everyone does this so its clearly a difference, some are slow to anger and you can't really get them upset rather they turn it around so there is calm, some are justice freak, they fight for the oppressed, fight for the bullied involuntary. So our differences make us stand out, we work on the bad into being good and we improve on the good into being better. That how it should be anyways. No matter your flaws doesn't make you a bad person, however its wise people tend to adjust to you especially when you haven't worked on your flaws. So they don't turn victims. Looking at the brighter side, our good differences would bring attractions and respect. No wonder they say no one is fully bad, we have good and we have things to work on, if not life wouldn't be sweet and adventurous. So next time rather than hate and be displeased with someone with a bad habit, we can take time out to help them improve into being better. Life is a journey there's no harm in helping someone become better. One love. Thanks For Reading.

Don't Date Cause They're Cute If you know the numbers of relationships people get into daily all because the person is cute, little wonder why the numbers of break up too are escalating by the day, its not a gamble, mere looks doesn't sustain the affairs of the heart, you can only be mesmerized by the attractions for so long, shortly you'd begin to get disgusted by more important issues that's lacking in the person. We don't want to make choices, especially life choices like who to date or marry just for a beautiful face, or fine or well built body, few months to few years down the line, it wouldn't be the bone of contention any longer and by that time I can only wonder what would keep sustaining the relationship. Beauty fades as we all know for a reason, but apparently we care less about if it fades or not, the ladies still can jump freely to the handsome and the guys to the beautiful. Well who wouldn't want someone who's attractive, I sure do too and I'm sure you do too, so I'm not saying beauty means no brains or beauty means not good for a relationship, but rather let's ensure we go for compatibility, someone who can merge with us and together become achievers, someone who appreciate your dreams and drive and can as well contribute to the success of it. Its lovely to see women succeed generally, because the stereotype that a woman needs to only get a rich man and her life is good to go is in no way sending the right messages. To be truthful it is fastly becoming the hidden agendas of many female, so they write off any struggling guy and made do with the wealthy males. Listening to the older people speak I could clearly realize that gone are the days we see ladies ready to start from the scratch with you, staying with you when you have nothing but ready to grow, work and pray with you. Not that it doesn't happen anymore but it's less rampant compared to before. How do you like it few years down the line, after days of repeatedly seeing that beautiful face, already getting tired of the well shaped body, what then? Do you jump to a new guy or a new girl? This we see every now and then. Its no more true love making people make decision any more, neither is it wisdom controlling their actions anymore but outright mesmerization. Funny enough this could only last a while which makes it a totally wrong choice to making beauty a main reason for selection, i know we all want cute kids too, but there are definitely other beautiful people who can match your compatibility and be great partners. A pure cajole of beauty, haven't you notice how people compliment your siblings oh they are so cute, but it matters less to you, you don't go wow that's so true and stare at their faces for hours, because you've seen them multiple times, same would go for your partner overtime, you'll knoe they are cute but it'll matter less to you soon. Oh she's cute, oh he's fine and that's all you care about, other important questions of does he understands you and how to deal with you, do you respect him, is he supporting your dreams, does he even knoe your dreams, is she having the wifely attributes, can she support the home, even on your absence, and so on, so many wise questions to ask but who cares anymore. Celebrities marriage has often been mostly adored and as you know they too are so fast to ending, if I'm to say what I feel the reason for this could be then I'll say its over excitement created from the thoughts of "can you imagine how it'll be like, me and you", " we'll be the talk of the town", "we are popular so we'll be adored that day, the world would celebrate us", apparently few of this conjunctions has worked fine and the couples Still carry on till date, but few others which I guess skipped the more important aspect, are currently splitted, come on we can't afford to make decisions so sensitive base on beauty or the moment. In a nutshell, our happiness surpasses how we tolerate things, one day you'll wake up to say, how long would I keep dealing with this, I don't care if he's the most good looking guy or Lady in the world now, all I want is someone who truly makes me happy, knows how to treat me right and loves me for me and not just how I look. But all that can be prevented by having discipline enough to think through the urgent feelings and know this is the right choice for me. Its not easy at times but like dey say nothing good comes easy. Go for the future, go for the good of the kids having a great mother or father, go for the success of your dreams, go for one who knows how to gladden your heart with words and actions, beauty is no yardstick for enjoyment, everyone has to learn to treat someone right including the cute also, be cute and be a great partners, this we must do for the happiness of who ever we choose to be with. Don't make hasty decisions guys, always think things through, as we remember beauty fades. Thanks For Reading.

Pass Your Baton Life didn't start with you and it might not end with you, if I'm to say it how i feel it would be then I'll say life still has millions of years to go before it comes to an end. However we are running the race presently, its our turn, didn't you know you're already on track, the gun shot has already sounded at birth, maybe because we were so young we didn't hear the start, now we are grown and we can't afford not to run. With each passing seconds to minutes to hours, days to weeks to months and years gone by we keep running. In this race we sleep, in this race we eat, in this race we have a family, in this race we go on vacation and so on, all that are mere occurrences for the race, all we want to see is you passing the baton. Whenever I say pass the baton, people have often misconcepted it for replicating yourself in your kid, like a son taken after is father or a daughter to her mother, other few would think it has to do with apprenticeship, where someone is disciplined by you , so one day they take after you. Well passing the baton is a touch of both ideology but it goes way beyond that too. Like I earlier said starting and having a family is a mere occurrences in the race, in other words its not the main motive of the race, neither is our jobs the main motive of the race. When we know the main motive of this race, we know the baton to pass. In a normal race setting, the running currently with the baton is to pass the baton to his team member who is on the same line with him, it can only be one person, but here in real life setting people have passed batons to multiple people at a go, and are still passing. Not to be in church but the greatest baton passer of all times remains my lord Jesus, to imagine how much the religion of Christianity has gotten to the ends of the earth. From one man to the world all in the space of 3 years and what he came to share still remains valid till date, in fact it is presently the anchor of people all over the world now. Without any doubt if anyone on earth wants to learn how to pass the baton the right way, then Jesus has to be a key personality to study, if being truthful and not trying to be religious mindsetted, then Jesus is one who has shown us how effective passing the baton can be. Others exist that have passed the baton quite well also and worthy of recognition, in no particular other a few of them are Martin Luther king Jr, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Abraham Lincoln and the many others, this exceptional humans didn't just leave through, rather they created so much effect the world can't deny. What Baton Do I Pass Then Everyone has a craving, a craving to be special, a craving to stand out and be better, wanting to be known for something, to stand for something, something not necessarily tangible but can be felt. This most people has often mistaken for talents, like I can sing or dance or act so well, so let me reach the world with that, no doubt that can be a medium, but that is not the baton you should pass, already so many supreb talents exist, and many more still would exist, so talents or our arts are not the baton to pass. The right baton to pass is called "Impactation", Touching lives. So many people exist and not everyone can change everyone, but if more and more people decide to help another person become better, then you're worthy of recognition, you are very much passing the right baton. Take a moment and imagine you creating a job where a someone would be employed and from the salary becomes able to take care of his or her family, train the kids to school, feed, even extend help to his or her siblings. You might think you helped one person but when you really think deep you have helped that full family or wait you have just helped that full generation, cause that educated kids would become educated parents one day who would train others better too. Good can never be measured guys, it never gets old or out of trend. It is the right baton to pass across, keep passing the baton to the world at large, do good at each given opportunity. One major boost to the gospel Jesus brought and why it strives more than all else is because he went around doing good. Whoever was blind saw, who ever was lame walked, things money couldn't fetch for men, he gave it to them freely and still offered a continuous help directly from his source all we had to do is believe. Now till date people are still getting situations turn around for them just be believing in God and accepting Jesus, now tell me why such goodness won't be the greatest of all time. You might very much be passing the right baton over there in your local street, or your environment at large, a little good today a little good tomorrow, someone is watching, someone is learning, someone is being impacted, someone is today doing good too because you first did good. I bet you'll get a reward at the end of your race. And I feel like letting you all know that this reward is the final and greatest reward that would become a determinate of how our lives would be there after. Now you know, so pass your baton. Thanks For Reading.

Savings Or Investments, Which You'd Prefer? Hard times calls for hard decisions, everyday comes with its expenses but we can never be too prepared for tomorrow, what if the job stops paying, what if the company I'm employed to closes up, what if I get into unexpected needs, would I have enough to settle the bills? How about planning for a future, I want to get this or buy that in 2 years times, I want to plan this down for my unborn kids, then I have to start now, be it a plan for unforseen occurrences or a plan for a better future, we have to plan it now, and this planning has to fall between two options, do I save or do I invest. I very much want to use this article in breaking down the benefits of both as well as their other angles to note. Won't really call it a detriment or side effect because it is not certain, just as a seed sown to a ground is left unknown if it would germinate or not until it starts showing forth growth, same goes to this savings and investment, sometimes all doesn't go too well while sometimes it does, the best we can do is go with past records, that is if that medium has shown good results overtime then it'll be safer to save or invest with it. Lets dig in fully. Savings : As much as most people would prefer to invest their cash for a greater return tomorrow, some people too are skeptical and feel its safer to save it and keep saving it bit by bit until the set time they'll be needing it. They prefer this more than blindly offering their hard earn money into an idea they can't fully control, even if they had a say about it but it still isn't an 100% assurance of it's promised return. However its not easy for people saving too they have a lot going through their minds. Questions like, how do I save then. Is my bank credible? How sure am I that the financial sector I'm saving with won't fold up before the time I need it. Would I be happy when my colleagues who invested theirs are enjoying a multiplied return and I'm just having that which I have saved. Or do I just save my money the old way, that's is build a place to store it at home. Moreover its safer this way, but won't it decay? Hold on let me take a look at the investment angle. Investments : Oh so many people right now are drifting towards this direction, many thanks to Cryptocurrency being an eye opener to the need of investments, well it still is an eye opener to the dangers of investments, as you could still hold on a bad timing and lose your money. But generally everyone wants to invest which is a great idea, to put in little today and that little turns out to be multiplied in the future making you smile to the bank. However one has to be careful with investment, and be truly sure the platform is worth the promise they profer. So many including myself has fallen into the hands of bad investments, only to later regret the decision and hoping I saved or spent it too, but this doesn't make investments generally bad. Many have invested wisely and are eternally grateful for the faithful day they made that decision. It truly goes both ways, you win some you lose some, until you learn and know the best option to follow. Let no one lie to you, both saving and investing are risk, but are risk worth trying. I'll keep on saving as well as investing, my past experience or bad rumors I've heard are not getting deep into me, then how about the awesome stories I've heard from people who invested or saved, or the few I saw for myself. I guess the best action is to take time to study whichever or whatever you want to invest in, reason cause you can't blame anyone for things going bad, so you have to research for yourself, if after your findings it is okay by you and your mind is willing to try then you can. Its what makes us great, making tough and analytical decision. I strongly believe we'll make the best choices. The Choice Of BCH : I remain that one guy who speaks for BCH among a crowd of many, it is a great option to save and invest. Its prospect remains high, have you seen what BTC is doing, how about ETH, then you are yet to see what BCH would do when it kicks off, already breaking the $1k mark, it wouldn't be hard to surpass again, but BCH is willing to take as much people as possible on that ride. So get on with BCH, let it be your anchor coin. BCH!!! Thanks For Reasoning with me. Thanks For Reading.

Opportunity Can Come Again I know we must have heard the popular saying, "don't waste any opportunity, cause opportunity comes but once", well I belong to a different school of thought, of course I'm not saying its OK to misuse an opportunity, or that same opportunity lost would be regain, sometimes that opportunity gone is gone forever, but it doesn't say that is the end of the road for you. You know the slogan so make it seems like as soon as you've misused or lost a perfect opportunity then you might as well stop living, but that is so wrong, an opportunity can be remade, an opportunity can be fought for, an opportunity can be recreated, its all in our relentless effort never to give up the fight. Of course I have heard of quite a number of stories of people who kept trying for a spot but probably because of the many people aspiring that position too, or maybe because their performance wasn't meeting the requirements, or could be luck not being on their side, so they have not been getting it, but that habit of constantly pushing and believing has recreated for them that long lost chase. Its never late or ended until you give up, giving up is the main quitting, time keep counting, it doesn't stop be cause you want to sleep, it wouldn't pause because you made a mistake, neither would it rest because you've won the race, and this happens so you know anytime and everytime is a good time to try again. Oh you applied for that job but didn't get it, well look at the clock still ticking, the race isn't over yet, start again and push again, we never fully win until we die, we never fully lose until we give up, so as we keep living we keep trying, why lose while living, it wouldn't matter anymore at death, so we keep pushing while we still can. "Make hay while the sun shines it says", Do your work while it is day, "for the night comes when no man can work". Its funny at time how we take people word for it and get depressed, they told you boy you've messed up your one time opportunity, I'm not sure you can get this again, and you are feeling so down, like they are the Almighty judge, who makes anyone so wise enough to determine how life works, haven't you seen crazy and unexpected occurrences happen and you'll be like where did this come from or i lest expects this. So with living comes hope, giving up and forgoing any reason to keep pushing is not on anyone, you won't blame anyone cause they can only act and talk, but how you receive it and what you choose to do with it is all on you. If there is no joy coming cause of a lost opportunity, then I hope you can hang on to the hope that God makes the impossible happen and pray with it. We all need to know its never to late to be great and all would be well. Often times the biggest and highest of dreams and positions do meet the biggest hurdles, more like its the price to pay for it, as scary as it sounds, it is a motivation when things aren't going so well Knowing things all part of the game, the levels with the biggest benefits often meets with the strongest opposition, yet it isn't a license to quit, but a boost to try hard and show you're worthy of the taking the prices. This also helps us access that level of ourselves we never thought we could get to. Like we get to be more focus on seeing it come through that we learn in the process and grow, but the end of the trail we have become better and stronger, so hurdles aren't so bad after all, losing an opportunity isn't suppose to weaken us as it normally do, its all suppose to shape us into better and stronger versions of ourselves. Lets never give up because we lost an opportunity, with each breaking day comes a new opportunity to strive again, to push again, no one criticizing or mocking presently holds the keys of your life, everything lies in our palms and we would do as we please. Keep the hope alive. I strongly believe an opportunity would come again. Thanks For Reading.

My Neighbors Are The Craziest How do you guys find good and loving neighbors to live next to, cause these people living close to me are very far from good, let's not talk about loving. Good thing we rarely have reasons to stay on the street or move over to have a conversation with our neighbors, so most times it's just needed we head out and come back into the house to rest. Yet the scarcity never stops any issues from arising, I wonder how it'll be like if we were always seeing and chatting, maybe then we'll have needed the police to come lay some restrictions before we get into a fight. Well its not the first time I've heard about neighbours not being good to each other, in fact I'm getting to believe its almost inevitable that neighbours not be good and loving to each other, well until I saw for myself and conclude it wasn't a situation problem rather it was a persons problem. And this is better, cause if it was a situation problem and in this case the situation has to do with a house affair which can't easily be shifted or moved to another location, then they both would have no option but to coexist that way, however seeing its a people problems, the person in question can still learn rightly and adjust. I know better than to keep grudges or dislike a person, it hasn't been my way, I guess with me alone the neighbours wouldn't have to worry about getting a backward reaction for their actions, firstly I ain't home to hear or experience their deeds, secondly if it doesn't affect me to an extent I still wouldn't care. But then i there is my family over there and believe me when I say mom has time to address every issue, I know for a fact that my crazy neighbors would reciprocally be addressing my mom as a crazy neighbor too. As soon as she feels the boundary has been bridge, so fast she's out to trash the issue, I have had to save the situation cause they all listen to me, both mom and the neighbours listen and that's the reason for the calm so far. You know how it is when you're trying to make peace between two parties and you can't take sides because it'll show you are the enemy too and then they won't want to listen to you next time. I have tried to talk to mom about matters like this and how to handle them, especially since peace is the ultimate goal, but then she's human and would still be controlled by emotions sometimes, however so far so good there have been calm, some murmurs though but no confrontations and no quarrels for months now, however something happened today that got us pissed but I just wrote on the need for peaceful coexistence, so yeah we let it slide. Something struck me while I was thinking deep about the matter today and I couldn't help but observe that the same neighbour we think to be harsh and crazy would be kind and sweet to another neighbour who they both share common interest. The common interest could be as low as they both disliking you so don't be surprised, or other interest on fun basis. When the situation is like this its often worst and sometimes dangerous cause they could connive to take actions against you just for the fun of it. Ever packed your car outside only to return and it's not the same, maybe the tyres are lessen or the side mirrors removed and you can't hold anyone, just giggles but what's your proof. I wouldn't stop to emphasis the need to be good regardless as this is a sure assurance for winning. Today's incident might get you so pissed and your mind is so bent on revenge, but hey that revenge isn't really your style and yours might not be lucky or that painful, so best you stick to being good and let our great judge be the judge of things. You never know you're that important until you have that neighbour that gossip your every move and is jealous of your achievement even if they are doing better. What Then Do We Do? Firstly let's learn to act discretely, not in fear but privately cause you could be monitored, and you never know if they are powerful enough to stop you from getting something you've expected, so wisdom demands in such cases we bridle our tongues and be unpredictable too. Its would also be nice to show no hate, maybe they would come around, if they keep hating, it's isn't your call but you can play your part well by showing no hate, this way it'll be easier for them to change and be better, cause you're ever welcoming, but with wisdom should in case they came close only to spy and hurt you deeper. I know God would help us all, more reason to stay good so God would take control of the situation. We should know without a doubt that God always win regardless. That neighbours could be crazy now but nice tomorrow, sometimes its caused by a past they experienced that shaped them so, or it's just an habit, however change is constant so it's very possible. Even as we look at them, ensure we look at ourselves too, so we are sure we aren't the persons wrong from the onset. This I've done and I can undoubtedly say hey my neighbors are crazy. Thanks For Reading.

Free Spirited, Hold No Grudges Are you aware its a harder task to hold grudges with someone than to be at peace with them. You don't have to be in bad terms with someone, there is absolutely no need for that, that you then hate to see that person walk in or stay close to you, or worst you both have a task to do together, the whole heart beating and skipping with rising temperature, all this are so not important. Indeed we can be at peace without having to be friends, just there is no strive and no tension rising between you two, you both don't get uneasy at the sight of the other, all differences has been settled so there is calm yet you both aren't friends and that is fine. I know I'm someone with high temperament, I don't usually let things slide without correcting it for myself, wait, I let somethings slide but that are those things that won't bother me so much, if I know this occurrence would keep playing in my head, I'll just take that bold step early and clear things, so these has put me in fights and heated quarrel with other persons, persons who refuse to adhere and I too refuse to concur to their reasons too. Oh I get so furious at that moment, you might need to hold me for that time,but then I've learnt to make peace at the end. Yes I've said my peace so they would think twice before trying such nonsense with me next time but yet peace at last. And I feel this is the whole essence of the fight and quarrel, so we can say our minds and hope the opponent has learnt his lesson too, should in case next time while they go about their nasty character, they would be wise enough to omit you, cause you speak out and shun it, but then at the end, it doesn't have to lead to enmity, you don't have to see the person coming and tour heart skips, so make peace so you can both say Hi there at least. Be Free-Spirited, be as pure as a dove that when you walk around you're sure you have given no reason for any eyes to hate you, talk less of purposely finding your troubles. Life is in such a way that no matter the power and authority you have and can do whatever you like without consequences, you'll still not experience that great peace unless you learn to be in good terms with your neighbours. I know it's hard sometimes to love your neighbours as yourself just like we have been mandated to. But then we should still love and try to love better by the day. Don't get me wrong, I very much for a fact know some people are trouble, like they go about depositing hate and quarrel all around, you know its not your fault truthfully its not your fault, however now they have successfully gotten you to dislike them and you don't like the feeling, what do you do? Some other people exist that would not want that matter to die off, they can be wrong but yet when you go to make peace they still don't want to make peace, for this people also what then can we do? Well I make peace within myself as regard to them, and I let them know I don't have anything against them if opportunity permits. The truth is whether they dislike you or not, it doesn't stop you from achieving your goals or getting blessed by God, but when its your heart that is heavy, then you might be finding it hard to receive. So sometimes we don't do it because we want to, but cause it's an instruction from God, to follow peace with all men, however if the other person refuses to follow peace with you, what can you do? You've done your part and genuinely want peace to rain. Try your best to make that person be at peace with you, cause you too want that person to be free spirited too. All this amounts to what makes you a good person. To this end there are few words we must learn to say, putting aside our pride and ego, just for the greater good to prevail. Among the many words to learn are "I'm sorry", " let's not fight ", " I still love you", some people like me don't find it too easy to apologize we rather go through another route like a compliment or a funny insult, for example "i don't know how I still like you so much", "Big head lol", "Bring two spoons I'm eating your food", " I'm not going anywhere, you must kill me today ", you know all you need for a confirmation that all is well and back to normal is that genuine smile from the other person. So much peace would fill your heart, just knowing someone is happy and you're both back to talking terms, or you both aren't friends formally but still are no longer enemies, all is well between you both, the heaviness of the heart has been eased down and there is no more Strive, anger or grudges. The Bible is smart when it mandated us all to follow peace with all men, you can never measure fully it's benefits, its so numerous, as your heart is now happy and ready to be blessed. No More Grudges guys, Be Free Spirited. Thanks For Reading.

Thoughts Keeping Me Up At Night Do you have anything so all up in your mind that it keeps you up, unknowingly to you minutes to hours has been spent involuntarily with that thought so all up in our minds. Of course peace of mind is Paramount but we can really help it, remember our wants and needs are numerous plus they are insatiable, so with each day be sure there is something that's filling your thoughts. For students it could be that coming examination they are so unprepared, for dad it could be the rent that's almost due and he's still far from getting close to the amount. So many people with so many things up in their head. What's yours. Personally my head has gotten a variety of thoughts, and its sometimes making me loose concentration, and how best to regain consciousness than to admit that these thoughts are in my head and then I can see a way to start dealing with it. It became so clear to me yesterday while I was on video game with a friend and no matter how much I tried to put focus on the game I was mercilessly beaten, which is odd. He had to ask if I was alright, I thought I was but back into the game I go lost in thoughts, I only see the players moving, but I don't think about how to score just play it anyhow. Shortly I realized I wasn't myself. It had affected my day I needed to stop it soon. What was it? The Thought The first thought was about a relationship i wasn't comfortable with no more, of course we gave it a try but ever since that day it has been one issue or the other, probably we weren't supposed to be together, she's not the girl I used to know, she just changed drastically. Before now I was thinking I was at fault and so I try to make amends and be better, she had once complained about me being so unromantic, and I said OK I'll change that and I know to that effect I tried, but then it seem as it I was with an object void of emotions, how long can I bear this. From someone who was always bugging me, so clingy and so forward that I knew she loved me, came a drastic transformation to someone who doesn't call no more and while I called act so hurriedly to end the call, I knew the love was over, I can see the reason why, I had search at my end but can't see anything I'm doing wrong. So maybe she needs time to deal with whatever may be the issue, but then my happiness is key to me and for my work, so I took a break just to relax, it didn't go so well but we would be alright. The Other Thought The other thought of course after a love issue has to be money issue, so of later I've been deep in thoughts if I'll be able to meet up with a huge money so quick before the time comes when we'll have no option but to sell off something so dare to us. In fact, I feel this thoughts should be my major cause of concern rather than the other, maybe I hope the other could be so sweet at this time to take my mind of this, well reverse was the case, I don't know what she's been through but I too has mine to deal with and for that maybe we both need more focus, so let's hold. Apparently it's all hands on deck at home, everyone is pushing and trying to see and pray something great turns up before resulting in the plan B, the plan B is not so good, I'm the main antagonist speaking against the plan and so I have to be more serious about proferring a solution. Cause I know if not then I'll not have any option but to slide back and let that plan happen. These has eaten so deep in my thoughts, funny enough it has also earned a spot in my dreams too. Apart from these two currently I don't think any other thing feels my thought, cause the usual thoughts of making money and having a good home is so Regular i don't consider it an issue no more. What To Do? Apparently I had dealt with the first issue already and I feel OK, I'm so fine I feel like it was the best option for me at the time, no need to strain about someone whose emotions appears so dead for reasons you know nothing about. But the other thought is still there and banging. Indeed I know God would come through and if he doesn't we still would know he allowed it cause it's the best option. So much faith we have, maybe this is all I need to take my rest and not be bothered. I'll just do my best and believe God is taking control off the rest. I know everyone has a thing or two bothering them, the responsibilities cut across everyone with various reason, but I also know all would be well in the long run, so we shouldn't keep having sleepless night and beating ourselves up, whatever the issue might be, let's seek for the best possible solution, unlike me, it might be to talk things out, or rather be patient, it could also be to try increasing your income or get a better planning. The solution can be anything but in all put things into prayers. God help us all, let's seek to relive the many thoughts in our heads stealing our sleeps. Thanks For Reading.

Plan A Vacation For Yourself It doesn't have to be exclusive, it doesn't have to be simple neither, the main essence isn't to flaunt or proof you can pay for an expensive treat, rather just to take a time out from the stress and relax, you've very much deserved it, moreover the vacation isn't forever, neither would it show that you're not serious with your life, its a mere show of happiness for yourself and probably your loved one if there is enough to get an extra. Sometimes it's beneficial to your health and mind that you get a rest, and not just the casual resting, a really good rest in a nice location. Especially as adults we truly go through a lot, everyday we wake up to the hustle for better living, finding that cash to help settle all that there is to settle and you can only wonder and ask when would it all stop, when would I be able to rest from this stress and just start enjoying my hard earn money and it feels like that day isn't any time soon. Some have resulted into schemes to get rich quickly like gambling yet it doesn't pull through for all, many too have decided to put in extra effort on their job but the extra pay still isn't what is needed. Maybe we'll have to bring the vacation closer. Sometimes I feel real bad knowing my parents didn't get the luxury of going on a vacation and sometimes it strike me deep, like they did dedicate their life thus far in seeing us grow and spend all available resources to cater for our every need. This selfless act shouldn't go unrewarded I know, so this should also come into consideration, by Gods grace I'll be able to take care of them and take them to the best of places. If anyone truly deserves a vacation it should be those people who have gone out of their way just to put a smile on our faces. Offices can be hectic and stressful sometimes, especially when its Mondays and you realize there are still a whole 4-5 working days remaining to get up early, beat the traffic and do some crazy loads of work, Mondays really messes with our minds most times, we can remember the feeling we get when we know the next day is probably an holiday or a work free day, so we go to bed more relaxed knowing that we can wake and not be in a rush, just lazy around intentionally, enough to catch your breathe and have a deep refreshing of your mind body and soul, oh come on we all need to take a break sometime, we are not the poorest alive. Remember how on the 7th day God rested, its a call to us all to learn from the greatest worker himself. Its Paramount the mind look up to a fun day, the mere thought of "I might not be resting anytime soon, I might have to work more and cancel and fun time is enough trauma for the mind to take, because we need to be happy, unless work make you happy, which of course I doubt, even the singers of which I know quite enjoy what they do still would want to take sometime off their work to really have fun, how much more the construction workers, the doctors, the teachers. Already some good jobs already make provision for this, they plan their workers vacation on intervals, not because they are so wealthy but because they understand the importance and what it can do to the minds of the worker. No doubt a workers competent would be more pronounced if he knows there is a treat awaiting him or her. It also helps the company's productivity if its workers are stressed relived, having put away all heavy thoughts and return happy with nice memories to get by each day, hey we are humans not machine that are programmed for work and work alone. So you should plan yourself a time out too. Now the question of should I go alone or with a pair or group of friends is totally up to you, the main point is happiness, so you go with those who makes you happy. Although its evident that most people like to take their spouses out cause it makes them happier than taking any other person out, more than their selfless parents too, yes I understand why that would be, I know you do so don't ask me, we are all guilty of this fact and I guess its just our nature, our spouses makes us more happy, with the intense feeling to see that person you crazily love happy cause of you would no doubt make you happy too. Either ways never forget those who cared for you too. I really hope someone would take a break off the stress and catch a gleam of what life has to offer, see natures beauty, the water fall, the mountains, another country if the expense can be sorted out, then why not, but if not it can be going to that local bar and just have a drink, go swimming in a pool, visiting the beach, reading in the evening sun, or paying a visit to friends or lover, go to a place of laughter, anytime to get your mind relax and this energizes you for the works ahead, but then you'll plan another vacation again. Don't take life too serious. Thanks For Reading.

Talking Carelessly Apparently life teaches us a lot as the day goes by, among the many things we learnt we can deny that we now see the importance of watching our words. Popular saying is watch your tongue, it all signifies the same thing, it's a call to making someone say the right or better thing rather than say words that may provoke consequences. Well it's no breaking news that most people no longer care on how their words would hurt the next person, they just do what they please and say how they like it, whichever way the recipient receives the message is not their concern. Many are in trouble today because of what they have said, many would be in trouble if they don't learn to say things carefully. You know most times, we don't see everything that happens because our eyes needs to be focused, but then our ears has no filter, it hears every thing that's spoken around its path. If an occurrence is happening behind you, you can possibly see it, because you have no eyes fixed at the back of your head, but you can catch up with that same behind you just by using your ears to be attentive. Remember the Bible already adviced us on this, saying watch your tongue, the power of life and death are in the tongue, in other words what we have in our mouth is a powerful tool, we aren't fully aware of its potentials and so we talk carelessly. Imagine as a parent and you can't watch your tongue in the presence of your children, firstly it would make you lose your ground in correcting them when they too speak bad languages or say hurtful words. Moreso you teach them yourself because home is also a place they learn, its better when you someone does something but knows it's bad, but in that case scenario, they might not see anything wrong in speaking in such manners, moreover mom or dad speaks like that also. Not limited to the law court room would whatever you say be used against you, it is very much applicable in more grounds, what you say and the manner at which it is spoken has a way to shape that persons impression about you. You know what they say, first impression matters much, so in cases where you meet up with someone and because of the warm welcoming you feel so relaxed to talk as you like, forgetting you also have an impression to create or maintain, this has made many people lose good offers, as their careless talks makes it feels like they can't keep a secret, or they can't relate well to people, or don't care for emotions, you words has a lot to speak about you too. A lot has contributed to this habit and because of the importance of these mediums to our everyday life. Its often a hard task to stop ourselves from stopping it. Things like friends we keep, our environment, and also the media platforms like TV, social medias, also celebrity crushes, all this and more can affect our speech too. You have friends and friendships has more influence on you than you think, you never know the day you begin to sound like them. Also with the environment cause you see and hear such careless speeches day to day and it feels like a normal thing, but its wrong. I bet if we were to judge how many people have been wrongly influence to bad languages on the social media we would see they are so numerous, maybe we forget its all a show business and they are only acting so you can like them, what you hear them say or what you see them do, is quite different from what you see on their real life setting. But the public doesn't care. As vulgar as some rappers currently, you'll be shocked to know that two of the popular vulgar rappers have publicly admitted that they don't allow their kids watch their music, cause of the negative effect, yet we swim in it, and it is costly. Watch your words guys, talk with caution, see the need for it, and see the need to curb it, curb it in your homes, curb it in school, curb it among your friendly conversations, not just to vulgar languages, we should also learn to speak words that won't come back to hunt us. Watch what you say and how you say it, some words you meant to say are OK, but the way you make it sound and how you express it brings about the rifts in it. All this we should learn in our association to our fellow humans. Speak carefully, watch your words. However only when you set your mind to stop it would you truly stop it, only with a conviction to your heart that this words I've been used to saying or this manner at which I speak when excited, angry or even my normal way of speaking is bad, then you can seek out ways to stop it, it starts from knowing it's bad and needs to be changed. So talking carelessly is bad indeed, maybe it hasn't cost you much so you don't see the need for it, hopefully it won't cost you much, but it doesn't make it okay to keep saying either. Learn to speak right. Stop speaking carelessly. Thanks For Reading.

Trust The Process Sometimes we just need to know we are on the right track and trust the process enough to continue. See every win and every set back as part of the marching forward. Not just to business alone, trusting the process is still very much useful in the areas of a career search path, in the area of relationships too, trusting that all would be well if we continue on that same path relentless. However it can't be easy to trust the process if you aren't sure, we have got to be sure that this path we are trodden is tested and trusted, but how does one ensure that? Basically nothing we do here is new, somebody somewhere must have done it experienced same, well not just one person, people would have also been through that route but you just don't know them, some may be there around you but haven't open up to share you their part of the story, so you wouldn't know, many others you don't know however some of them have written down their experiences and how they overcame it on the long run. Some of them have a recorded audio of what they experience and how they overcame. So researching to see how others have done can very much assist in helping us know if we are right on track, causing knowing we are right on track would enable us trust the process better enough to endure it more. I know people however would say we what worked for others might not work for you as we are all different, but I think that statement is quite untrue, remember the saying "you can do things the same way and expect a different result", if I'm to paraphrase this statement in yet another way I can say " if you do this in the same manner you should expect a similar result. Cause what then would be the need of interviewing the successful guys if what they do can't be replicated by another person to also achieve great goals. What then would be the need for great minds writing books for help people achieve, if all what is inscripted in the book is no longer valid for another to use. So one sure way of assuring ourselves to trust the process is when we study deeper to know that we are right on track and if we continue in that same way, then our success is inevitable. Learn from others, quicker than waiting for our own lexperience, we can learn from others first, this would help us navigate with speed and accuracy. Ensure to keep trusting the process with the right attitude, reason being that nothing is certain as we keep going, there can be unforseen happenings that can switch things up, the environment it took for your mentor, or that authors book guiding you through could be a different environment, and by environment I'm not only signifying the location, the environment also talks about what happens during the process, was there shortage or excess of capital available, was there any personal issue that created a kind of set back, is it a partnership where the decision isn't yours alone to make? So many reason can cause a different environment from those we are following. However our attitude to work must not waver should the environment be pleasant or not, it is true that with the right mindset and attitude we would be able to overcome that challenge no matter how rough or tough it comes, pray too though. Praying takes care of the spiritual and unforseen happenings that could affect the process. For instance all could be going smooth with the operator truly having the right mindset and attitude, but a sickness stroke and money has to be spent, so much money that affects the growth of the new start up. So pray too even as we cover our end with having the right attitude to work. Among the right amount to work with are patience, patience enough to wait and start from the very beginning so we can watch every little growth and better nurture it till growth. A positive mindset too is a right attitude, to believe deep down in you that all would work out fine to your favour, this often work so magical as it feels like nature obeys your command. Deligence is yet another superb attitude to work with, see a man who is deligent in his work, he shall be in the midst of greatness, this is an extract from the Bible, and it shows that diligence has a part to play for every success story. Everyone hopes for success, me, you, your friends even your enemies, we all hope for success and in order to get this success we all are doing different things, different jobs, different approaches, different efforts, just to get that success. So best we get a plan and as earlier highlighted, we research to learn from past examples, then we replicate what we have learn, with the right attitude and right mindset to work. Prayers can't be excluded as God involved is a certainty for success already. We need to trust our process, to know this thing would work, putting everything in place, double checking everything including our attitude, we should know that we too have a lot to teach others upcoming, so we too must learn to trust our process. However don't hesitate to revisit your drawing board to change the process the moment you realize it wouldn't be favourable in the long run. Work with what you believe in and keep trusting the process. God help us all. Its a new week of blessings. Thanks For Reading.

D-day I Encountered BCH I can forget lot of things in life, more so I forget lot of people in life also and you can't blame it cause it isn't really my fault, they have very little or no impact in my life, so I can forget, but some things I've encountered has changed me a lot, their effect on me can't be denied or overlooked, it is so evident that its noticeable. Among many of this remarkable events that I have experienced personally, knowing BCH is by far a must know. Its a beautiful story indeed, but not just the story alone is Beautiful, BCH in it self is Beautiful, very beautiful helping and ensuring people get satisfaction doing what they love to do. The History So basically no one could have imagined me for a crypto guy, I wasn't holding any coin nor was I earning from any of the coin, all I did was know that a coin existed and people who bought it as at the start stage are all smiling now cause the value has increased. That was as far as I knew Cryptocurrency, and I wasn't ready to start knowing, I guess I was ok where I was. But hey we never know what tomorrow holds, sometimes the plans come through while other times the plans doesn't work and there are adjustment. Fast forward to last year when the covid pandemic started and we all were locked up indoors, yet we Still had to feed, cloth, buy necessary items, but all this wasn't easy when we all were home and broke and looking for a way to get our needs met. The government did try but it wasn't cutting it all, I needed something extra, something bigger and more sufficient, yet all I can think was scrapped because then we had little or no audience to buy , what can be done. And then it all began to happen so quick. You all know that moment when you meet a friend and you see him having and doing everything you've been wishing for, its a shocking feeling. That feeling took place that faithful day and I walked up to him Still maintaining the separating distance because of the covid, so he introducing me into the world of Cryptocurrency and I started knowing so many and many coins but mainly used 2 or 3 out of the many coins i know. Things were going better but still there was took.for me. Months later and I was told of an awesome site where writers are appreciated, I was perplexed and happy at same time, I've been a writer for most times but really no financial aid has been coming forth, why not give it this a try and so I hopped on it, writing and writing, and yes it has been a God sent indeed to us all. Then I found out about BCH more, it couldn't be help cause everywhere are being surrounded by articles on BCH so we can't help but know more about BCH. And so I did. Now I can fully beat my chest to say BCH is the best coin out there. Ever since its been BCH and BCH has always delivered better result compared to its coin counterparts, with faster and more effective result, BCH can easily be transferred and be certain to get it where it's sent on time and with speed. It hasn't cheated me in any way possible, all what I experienced from dealing with other coins, for a moment after a successful transfer and withdrawal, I took a moment to self reflect and was amazed at how much BCH is helping the community. So I see that everyday was just adding up to bring me to that great day when I meet destiny, start using and working daily with BCH to send, received and store up has been Amazing, it indeed did set a standarf and a high achievable point to other coins, already we must have seen other Cryptocurrencies having similar attributes to our dearest BCH, as though its was coined off their prototype, however it isn't coined off BCH prototype, the new developers are making the necessary adjustment to make sure the coins coming are a better edition using BCH as the mirror however. BCH is a coin more people needs to encounter, and start using, more reason why we keep pushing for it, both on ground and online, take BCH to the next person, let them get a feel of what it means to enjoy the world of Cryptocurrency. If you're reading this, then BCH is probably making you smile. Tell and take BCH to someone else. Don't forget BCH remains the best. Thanks For Reading.

What My Mama Told Me What did your mama tell you, truly the first teacher we have, before we learn for ourselves, they were there guiding us all step of the way, actively representing Dad who is out there trying to ensure we are comfortable t home. Therefore it can only be them we can ask those questions to, remember we are young and inexperienced, so there are a lot of questions raising up in our minds, we turn and look and there is mama, so she gets our questions, and she tells us the answer, adding to the many things she constantly say to us, so we all can't fully exhaust what mama has said to us. So because mum must have said more than a million words to me, I guess I'll have to pick out those words that makes more sense to me now. So what has my mama said to me: Mama Told Me To Beware Of Bad Company Probably one of the common words our mothers must have said to us, hey will beware of bad friends they can ruin your life. Back then she said it so casually but as I began to grew with age the warning didn't stop, instead the warning got more heated, she became more serious with the warning and I had already begin to learn of such things in school and church, so it stuck. Now I don't relate with everyone just because we are all human, I need to be sure you're a positive flow into my life or good at least, not one for unnecessary troubles. Its by far one of the mama's advice no kid should take as worthless, its completely worth it to listen and adhere to such saying. Failure to do so would tell on us, it isn't going to be anyone taking the fall and consequences for our actions, it would be us also bearing the brunt. So many have been severely hurt, punished or even killed because of bad association, this unnecessary trouble has cost them more than they bargained for, all this and more is enough cause to listen to what mama once said, as she tells us to beware of bad association. It doesn't end here, mama said a lot. Mama Told Me To Be contented Growing up wasn't in luxury, well still yet not in luxury, but we have seen how the luxurious life is, how sweet and enticing it can be, where everything' you wish or need is already provided for, and it'll make you want to question your root, or even look down on your parents. Well mama knew this already and decided to give us this advice growing up, will be contented with what you have so you don't steal someone else's own. It makes more sense to me now, why contentment is a vital habit for everyone to have if we truly hope the world turns our better. A simple issue but when its not dealt with properly becomes a serious one, then it becomes an issue of greed swimming in. Contentment applies to the rich as well as the poor, in fact most times we find the rich more greedy than the poor, to keep on taking and siphoning others share just for selfish gain, all this has consequences, as the biggest reason why people lose money is because of greed, so same way they gain money from greed be sure it has a way its planning to take it back. Be contented and strive hard guys. Mama Told Me To Pray Always Still my power source till date, I never knew how important this advice would be until I understood for myself, I understood the importance of prayers and how it helps us win over the battles of life, as humans there are limited abilities to what we can achieve and get, so we surely need the help of our God up above to help us win. And how best to communicate with this mighty authority than with prayer, mama thought me yo pray and told me never to stop praying. Been holding on this and its been working. Of course it'll keep on working, pray without ceasing its said. Mama Told Me Never To Forget My Family Family remains our number 1 supporters and they would always continue to support not withstanding what everyone else chooses, the world can war against you but be sure your family still would be there every step of the way. So family shouldn't be sidelined, family first she says, because that is why she and my dad took good care of us first before any other, so we also must take care of family cause only they truly care. My children, my partner, my parents, my siblings, all working together in oneness of love. Mama To Me Never Give Up She began by telling me a whole lot of stories of people who didn't give up and kept fighting for what they belived in and they finally succeeded, believe me it was a great motivation from such a young age till date, I have been so much on pushing for the best and not giving up from young thanks to her. Growing up i have seen how life can be so trickish and strict to everyone, we only when we are not shaking, rather we stand our ground and not give up. This is how we win, by standing our ground. My mama did say a lot of things of which I can't forget, I hold them so dearly to me, I can't possibly write everything down, moreover I can't remember everything she said fully, but those I know I don't let go. Hope you all know dad is not exempted, I decided to use mom cause She's always around and available, but dad is always here too, just busy getting needs meet. God bless my family, God bless your family. Can you remember what your mama told you? Thanks For Reading.

Is This Love That I'm Feeling? Maybe I need an expert to enlighten me more cause I don't understand this feeling I'm getting anymore. Is this what true love means, or I'm I only over thinking the situations, is it all up in my head. I know love is an unexplainable feeling, it feels so deep and so good it wants to turn our head upside down. Just a moment apart and I'm already craving for more time out, on the phone call my smile comes uncontrollably and I suddenly get angry to having to drop the call, like can't we talk on. Is this enough confirmation to say yes I am in love or are there other things I should be looking out for? But this wasn't love at first sight, I though true love means love at first sight, the moment I saw you then all of a sudden there is a supernatural connection, but here it wasn't so, it wasn't love at first sight, it took a while of constant talking and hanging out, a while of being in a closed space, a while of separating for a while to enable me knowing ok I think I'm seriously missing this person, I do miss a lot of people in my life, most times I've been on transit and I've seen people leave after a lovely time together, but it can measure up to how much I miss this particular person. I'm beginning to think it's true love. Does love take away our senses, not like it makes us dumb, but more like it makes us vulnerable. Vulnerable to the extent we are placing them more important before other things which are supposed to be more important. Just a call of demand and you're all about the place thinking and seeing how best you can produce the best possible solution. We are indeed not shielded when we have this feeling, anyone who is trapped by love is at a very high risk, like what if it was only a game on the other end, apart from the hurt that would surely come, we might have lost some cash or possession, still we can never fully be sure. Anyways love is blind I guess, we are failing to see things that are supposed to be clear, we just see what we want to see and that is where the issue lies, as a deep thinking, I'm always on my head trying to put the puzzles together. I'm more afraid of my feelings cause I know how important my emotions are. I know how bad things can get should I let my emotions get the best of me by the day. So I'm always careful, not necessarily shielding my heart from getting hurt, no I let go and let loose because I want to give my all to the person I love not holding anything back, but then I need to be sure if I should go ahead. So Now what do I do? In order to be sure I need to go ahead with expressing my feelings what do I do. Someone once told me never to think too deep about anything concerning love affairs and I shouldn't be scared to jump in, but I know myself I can't help it. I'm very much the jealous type and in order to prevent any future fight or anger I best I study the person well to know of their attitude would be compatible to me. And if yes, then why not, I'm in, but if No, then I'm out. So this are the two things I need to know, and they are very simple but still very vital. I'm I In Love Truly? This fall on my end, and I should be able to give an answer after self analysis, trying to make sure I'm not cajoled by the physical attributes or by their financial states but my mind and heart is clear anc this thing I feel deep down is nothing but love. I need to be in love first don't I. Although some people have firstly entered then grew the love, mine isn't such, I firstly love then enter. So with this person in question, I need to be sure I'm in love and by all analysis I guess yes, this is love. Which brings me to the next and final question, which would determine what my next course of action would be. Does This Person Love Me Too? I'm not a fan of forcing things to work, I strongly believe its best we go for someone who has feelings towards us also. Yeah, this way it doesn't feel you're doing anyone a favour but rather a mutual feeling. This is the best way to enjoy every bit of affection from that partner, when they too are in love. So I need to be aware of this person feelings towards me too. Whatever it is, I'll accept, if the feelings isn't there I'll know and adjust or show more affections but if yet it isn't forth coming, I guess it would do me more good to leave now than stay and be hurt later. However if the feelings exist, be sure I'll be swimming in the opportunity. I woke up to this thoughts like I was truly in love, and I just thought I should write it here, well don't be surprised to find out I am not referring to myself or my emotions, i happen to awake in the shoe of love, not because I'm in love, but what would I do if I was in love. However love is a beautiful thing, you all don't want to be left out from this amazing feeling. I too would love to feel this, maybe not today. Thanks For Reading.

Pointing Accusing Fingers Are you guilty of this, being so judgemental, so quick to judge someone for their actions and reactions, we have been told its bad but we can't help it, although nowadays we are quick to say "Who am I to judge" but deep down in our hearts we have judge already, in fact we have already sentenced and jailed the person and nothing can change the way we view such person from henceforth. Well this habit is not entirely bad, because we have to understand the people we are working with and when the character they exhibit are obviously bad, we can't help but judge them as bad. There is a reason why the court exist, imagine a criminal after being caught, tries to vindicate himself by saying "no one should judge me, who are you to judge me, we are all human". Well yes its in the Bible so the criminal has a claim, but would he be let off, wouldn't that create a thumbs up for other criminals and intending criminals to go ahead, as none would judge them. So how do we strike a balance, cause we need to be able to judge people for their actions but we also can be guilty of such actions, its just crazy, anyways we need to judge. Its often sad when people guilty of similar offences are ordained to judge you. I bet most people who have been judge must have thought in their heart, " Look at them as if they too aren't guilty of such offences, they are only lucky to not being caught" and some how they didn't lie, most of them would have done such act also but they weren't the ones caught, this however is the reason why its said to be bad, when we aren't acting conscience free. People call it hypocrisy, you know you have got it up your sleeve but then condemn someone who was only exposed. For this reason a justice system is needed, the justice system isn't a person that can be guilty, rather its an office, an office fixed with the responsibility of setting things right, this body is built by conjoining laws put together, and since this laws are good and right, then the full justice system is right also and it doesn't matter who or whatever the justice system is free of guilt and in the best position to judge. Of course someone has to be the spokespersons of the justice verdict, that persons attitude or actions doesn't affect the system, the system can still judge. So rather than point accusing fingers we tend to judge by the books. Nevertheless, let's not condemn anybody fully and rather offer a chance to see them change, we shouldn't write of anyone, as this insult can be a motivation to some people it can be reason for someone to end his or her life, people treat things differently. This is another way we judge people, that doesn't have to deal with court affairs or involve any of the authorities, just our thoughts and actions towards the person afterwards. So many people do things they don't mean and this stuff shouldn't be used to judge the or else we would miss it totally, still take out time to confirm and know more. I had once taken a pen off the ground during an exam cause mine got spoilt, probably the ink floated off and I was just confused, the teacher on watch was not the calm one to speak nicely and could have easily sent me away from the hall for being unprepared, or maybe think I needed an excuse to spy some answers outside and return to write, so I just sat confused when I saw the pen lying on the floor, I pick it up and started using it when I heard the owner crying I misplaced my pen, I can't find it. I wanted to say "here it is", but I thought of the situation calmly, she's is a girl and very lovable, the teacher can easily excuse her to get another pen, but even if I returned it and now ask for permission, this man still wouldn't let me off, plus I knew we was surely going to insult me with the whole class laughing, so I sat still. And of course they got another pen for the sweet little girl. Few minutes after, just across the hall a fight broke out, it was a girl shouting at a boy that he stole her pen, and she has been looking for it and had to manage another Pen that's not too good, the boy of course was guilty and the whole class kept insulting the guy, it was funny, but I couldn't do anything or say a word, like I also just committed that same crime. I just was lucky not to be caught. Till today I don't think that guy to be a theif, occasionally when things get lost in class, people are quick to warning to search him or interrogate him, but I understood differently and was never going to point accusing fingers at him. Like this could as well happen to everybody, irrespective of who you are, including the other people criticizing. Life happens differently to everyone, if you're not certain about someone then don't be hasty to judge, of which humans are dynamic and can change at any time. I should have said its best not to judge anyone, but you know how it is, we are all going to judge someone in our minds, and that's just how we feel towards be person, we can't help it, but let's ensure our actions are right and not beclouded by our supposed mindset towards the person, like we are not 100% certain if we are right or wrong. Also if you know you too were guilty or can be guilty of an offense, do not be fast to point an accusing finger, cause when tables turn the people would be hotter and angrier. Let's be guided to acting in wisdom and security of what might happen unforseen tomorrow. Thanks For Reading.

All Would Be Alright We all wish life was easier, like wishes were horses, so we can just say a word or wish a thing and it comes to pass, like we are Prince or princess of a palace with everyone or everything obeying to our every call and response. Wouldn't it be sweet, but apparently its can only be a dream, reality is far from that, reality teaches us more of being a farmer than being a Prince or Princess, so now we learn to sow and expect to reap, in fact we keep sowing and praying to reap better, firstly we fight for what to sow, what to do for returns doesn't come easy, many the few who are lucky to get help from someone who has much already, but the majority have to find what to sow before actually working. Yes, I'll break down the first paragraph, some are really lucky to find a helper, one who can pave way for them to the top, for instance that good soul who lends you money to start up a business, or link you up to the position or person with whom or from where it would be easier for you to take off from, that job link, that contract handed over, that call of favour, we all know in what way help has come to our path, we know. However, before we locate that help or get buoyant enough to rise, it often is a bumpy ride formerly. The struggle isn't one to joke with. Come outside and take a look, People are dealing with so much, our heads are filled with thoughts that has got us almost going crazy, but everyday we still have to get up and act up, act like everything is alright. Every morning billion of people awake to the struggle for money, navigating through the crazy traffic, dealing with the tension of deadlines, putting up with the anger issues of your fellow humans, it's mostly a hell of a day, but what can we do, it is what it is. We have got to find seed to sow, we need to find seeds that would pave way for more or something better. So many plans on our heads, so many drafted agendas, oh when I get that amount of cash I'll do this or I'll do that, but it becomes the quest for that money for that purpose, but it drags with a lot of other needs. We began to thing, but I planned it well, what went wrong, only to find out that the society has a hand in the toughening up of the situation, all of a sudden the standard of living is higher and you have to spend more, without the income really increasing. The food price, the electricity bill, the transportation or gas, and you're just realizing how all this changes are adding up to creating more issues, but what can we do about it. So we have to put everything we've got and be intentional about ending this struggle anytime soon and really be that future we have always envisioned. Moreover there are people currently living the dream, aren't there?, yes there are, so we also have to get to our apex, but then there have got to be changes, a change somewhere, often finding what needs to be changed is the main task for a difference. It's popularly said that "You don't do something in a similar manner and expect a different result, if we need a different result then we very much have to do that thing better, by finding the leak and adjusting it. It could be a change of association, a change of job, change of attitude to work, or to your relationship with people. Could also be your praying atttitude, have you well connected with your supreme God who can make supernatural things happen in your life. It could be as simple as just needing to wake up early, or just change your appearance, how you dress, your smell, your charisma, something needs to change if your former procedures are not summing up to the numbers you intended, find where could the fault be? Amidst all this one thing must never change, and that is a positive mindset that "All Would Be Alright", its good we say it out to ourselves as a self proclamation, but more than that we need it rooted in our hearts, and we actually believe that yes all would be alright. Maybe one help you'll need to reason is the many days you have lived on this planet and still fed, if the grass and birds can be fed, you too who would be fed. The benefit of this statement goes deeper than just spiritual, I know many feels saying it allows God make everything fine, Yes true, but that short world is a seed planted by nature and its growing fast. Keep being positive. I can understand the rush, I know the struggle too, all would be alright. Someone just lost that job, someone just lost that money already intended for something useful, and his currently down, but hey All Would Be Alright. No matter what it is, the worst case scenario or not as far as the time keep ticking and there is a tomorrow incoming, let's keep planting the seed of positivity. In no time, all would pay off, and there would joy all around. Don't forget to tell yourself "All Would Be Alright"! Thanks For Reading.

God Gave Me A Gift I guess he knew what I would need, something that would help me on this planet I'm living. At first I was feeling some kind of way, stranded, helpless like I didn't know what to do next. As a grown up I know I have to get my legacy started, no not necessarily about the money, mainly about my name, when people hear my name what do they think of me, what notion have I given to them, what impression have I created in their heart, this is what I'm caring about for a long time. It feels like I have been crazy, the thoughts kept running deep into my soul and my spirit. What I'm I going to do in this world, Huh? Somebody tell me. Wait, how about these other people who are already working and making a name for themselves, what makes us different, in fact how do they know this is what they were supposed to do. Or maybe God appeared to them as he did to moses and gave them a direction. Maybe I should pray and sleep or wait for my own direction. I have heard some people say that God appeared to them in a vision and were told to start this or that, I have also seen people who just started because they knew deep down in their heart this is what they love to do, and it feels like what else would they be doing if not this. How do I get to know mine also, huh? So I want to read more, I want to listen more to those people who have found their heart. Most times only pastors share their story, of course they are the ones in the pulpit speaking to us, so its understandable, but I want to know about others, not only the pastors are successful, others are successful, and those other people in the world who are successful, how did they get aware of their heart, how do they understand and find out what they are supposed to do, what prompt out such actions that has lead to this huge success that is evident in the world today, how does it all begin. I too want to know. So yes, after much studies and listening, I found out something, and that thing was that - God gave them all a gift. Oh yes, God given gifts, GGG (triple G), for instances, some people can talk you into spending your last cash for something you didn't want to buy at all. Their convincing skill is not just learnt, its inborn, from the tone of their voice to physical appearance, to expression, they do it so effortlessly, and when they noticed and accepted this gift as theirs to use, they utilized it to wealth. To some their gifts are talents, be it music, dance, theatre, art works, writing, over times they have gotten to observe how much they are in love with any of these, and it just make more sense that they act accordingly to what they feel, having concentrated on this has yielded enormous profits, and has written their name on the world's list of greatness. Time to time, people to people, their names sing aloud, the fame, the wealth, no one can deny they lived, but then I looked and saw something else, and that struck me, yes I saw another gift. This gift is a passion for people, passion to see people happy and not troubled or likely to be troubled, however this gift is now a mandate for all but few are doing the work, this passion makes some pastors to see men saved from hell, this passion makes philanthropist to save the poor, this passion feeds and build an orphanage home for orphans or less privileged, such compassion is no doubt a gift, and some are choosing to work in line with such gift, it makes them happy, God is happy. This is the greatest gift to me however. Lest I forget, this gifts also create job opportunities just to take people off the streets, so more people can earn and support families, with very little or no earthly profit. Mind you, you can't quantify their heavenly gain, lol its too plenty. This gift I saw kept me calm, I got struck to know that most of them are unknown, most of this awesome humans don't even receive a red carpet attention, they just do their thing and are still happy. You know how much happiness we receive from people's accolades, when we would be called to a crowd and there are cheers and shouting and so many thank you for what you have done, yes they might have receive this, but its in no way the reason why they do what they do, it's just that God Given Gift burning their heart to do something helpful, something so awesome as help a neighbour smile. Just then I wanted this gift so bad, I know I'm talented, I'm a good writer but oh men, this gift just struck me, and in no time I noticed I too have this gift, I have so much compassion to pass by someone in need, same amount of compassion that I just want to do something, maybe I'm not financially buoyant to do it big scale, but the little I can do I have always done, but I just didn't know it was Gods gift to me, a gift that would have me, but the trick is the gift doesn't pay much here on earth, it pays on earth but its nothing compared to how much it would pay in heaven. Its the greatest Gift of God to us, its not a burden as people think it to be, it's a love gift. I know I have this gift, in fact it's a gift God has given to every one, we might have covered the gift and not care about it cause its in a small box, but here is one thing, never underestimate those small boxes, they often hold the greatest of gifts, open your gift today guys, God gave me a gift, God also gave you a gift. Thanks For Reading.

What Would Our Children See Hello parents, and ofcourse potential mothers and fathers here, be aware that now is the time for any possible readjustment if need be. In no distant time from now we would be gifted with children, I know many of y'all be thinking you still got many years to turn up before considering having kids but I say it's still of better advantage if we start now. There are quite a number of things to consider readjusting so our kids would see and learn what we hope for them to see and learn. Among those things that we might need to change is : Ourselves; So many are so faking appearances in the presence of their children, they could be uttering vulgar words but as soon as they see their kids around its a sudden composure, so that the kids don't get infested with the wrong intake. It could be okay keeping appearances at a first instance but when everyone gets comfortable and you are forgetting to hide what you normally hide or simply got tired, wouldn't they still get wrongly infested. Instead of a double life, we could just work on what we need to deal with as soon as possible. Are you rough, by rough I mean rugged, like a thug kind of rugged. With so much drama for a day, if this continue you'll be needing extra effort to explain to those smart kids that such life style doesn't pay and it should be stopped. My daddy does it like this, oh my mommy says it like this, these kids are very smart, they pick up so fast. You'll be amazed as to the habits that have stolen from those they see most times. Environment; Not to us alone, although we play a very vital role, as we determine what they do, they are our kids, and the decision is for us to make at that early stage of their life, indeed a very fragile and critical stage of their life. We should take notice of what they are likely to see in the Environment. Our locality is also very important, what do they see when they step outside, what they see has a way to shapem their view about the outside world. Some things wouldn't be learnt at home or in school, there are quite a number of things they would learn from the street. No wonder some families are currently uptight as to how often their kids goes outside. They are only trying to protect the innocent kid from mixing with the nonchalant public. People are funny and they don't really care for any young child, if the child is not theirs then they can speak and act as will and not care what is going on or the aftermath of the association. We must be careful as to who and where our kids go to so we can be certain their body and brains are still intact. School; Their friends and School is a major aspect to take caution, you can't really know the schools influence, moreover you won't sit in class with the kid, so how then do we ensure they imbibe the right information for better growth and performance. Maybe go to the school teacher and have a little chat just to know if they truly know to the book they claim them. Also maybe go with a good referral, there are schools that have done better and can be referred to you rather than picking anyplace to train up a child. Yes, taking care and ensuring our child's mental safety is a Paramount case. Their Friends; I didn't forget about mentioning their friends, this group of young cuties can be holding more effect to your kids life than you know. So with the eyes of an eagle it's ideal we seieze out who comes around our kids. Maybe selection can be done indiscriminately by outward appearance, then attitude, words and also family background not because you want to control their every movement but because you know very much the influence a friend can have over another friend. Currently it's almost like the little kids are exposed to content they aren't supposed to see yet, they can say the nastiers of things and not feel a thing. The world is evolving but its gets more crazier. Our Home; I'll like to end what our kids are likely to see with discussng about the home. They know more place than you'll do in that same house of you, or they soon would come. So the home needs to be in order too. Not meaning it being neat necessarily, but more like making the home as responsible as possible, no need for sexual stations or vulgar channels, nasty wall papers are not needed. You could also use the home as a lesson for them so they can see the importance and reciprocate the action, like a garden where they can see fruit grow and love it, where vegetables can be cultivated, livestock all this and more they can see from young, learn and be better as they grow. Our kids are our top priority, what would they see is quite up to us, we can fully control the situation, we can only try our best and pray they turn out to be well behaved children. So all these bad attitudes and personality needs to be put in check sooner or later, not for us but in preparation for those awesome being you can die for. Start caring for them now even before their existence, care by changing some wrong actions today, so we can expect they see what we need them to see in order to be better behaved kids.

Good Pride, Bad Pride I too thought pride was fully bad, like outrightly wrong, if you have pride then you're on your way to doom, not until I took a critical look at it and observed it clearer to see that pride also has its goof as well as its bad. A king would always advice is son on how to pride in his title, God wants us to pride in him, we too need to have pride in what we have done to boost our confidence, there are a lot of angles we can drive through to expand om the usefulness of pride as well as why it's bad. Good thing remain that its workable, meaning that we can work on that aspect of pride showing but only if we intend to really stop. Bad pride Where do I start from, the good or the bad, as for me I prefer to start with the bad and get it done with so the good can come in and gladden my heart. So I'll start from the bad. Why is there a stereotype that all prides are bad. Imagine telling some one, hey you have pride and they feel bad. Then what is that reason why they would feel bad on hearing that they have pride. Firstly a person who is told he has pride firstly thinks he's self centred and always prefer himself or herself before anyone else. To an extent you expect everyone to place you first before any other, this is often an issue for people around you. Although we know there is nothing as an equal ground, yet it would be bad to make it pronounced that you feel better than everyone else. Issues with this however is the doer who feels its a mere self appreciation and good confidence booster to help them go further and forward. The crazy thing about this pride is that its perceived different ways by different people. You may have different people watching you and they all see different view to judging your actions. For instance at a function and a speaker stands up to address the crowd and begins to list his degrees all his title, his doctorate degree, his bachelor's degree, his PhD and the crowd begins to cheer him. Some people may say what is the need and its is a clear show of pride, others may say its said as a motivatuon to all who are around and would prompt the younger generation work harder. Bad pride causes us to underestimate people and look down on them, some tines to the extent of oppressing them. Not seeing people as equals, when you hear people say, "do you know who I am", "I would deal with you" "I would lock you up" this amongst other woulds you must have heard people tell others, when in reality our positions are opportunities from God, and it shouldn't be use for oppression and other selfish desires. In fact this reason is one of the main reason why it's not advisable to possess pride, cause many have turned it into opportunities to get back at people or be a reason of anger or bitterness to innocent people. Pride can also be subjective and objective, in a sense that we can pride in someone or something that would make it all bad. Imagine having so much pride in bad acts like thuggery, alcoholism, stealing, you hail yourself in it not ready to change it at all, this is bad and would soon lead to you committing the act sooner. Also having pride in bad people can make us bad ourselves. Good Pride Oh yes, I said this much earlier on this article, good pride also exist, the main purpose of this type isn't to make any one feel bad, truthfully it doesn't concern anyone that much, its just centered about self confidence, cause we self confidence we can do that which we have been afriad to do. Imagine what that means, it means that we would be able to face our fears and be the best version of ourselves. Everyone needs a great level of self confidence in order to take up challenges, especially challenges which would lead to a positive change in our lives. Good pride has boost our self esteem and no one would override us anymore. It doesn't entails looking down on anyone, it just needs to know and go with nothing holding us down or making us feel bad or sad. Good pride also has its benefits especially when we have pride in God. God wants us to have pride in him and via that confidence we can do signs and wonders. Similarly we can pride in our country and collectively make it an envy to the rest nations, pride in your parents, show them off take care of them, pride in your job it'll make you learn and want to do more. There are many things we can pride it that can be considered good pride. Pride indeed goes two ways, but having different approaches and different attitudes. Good pride is essential in the right quantity, bad pride should be eradicated from the mind via a switch in mindset to be preferability of a good pride over the bad. Thanks For Reading.

What Should I Consider In Finding A Spouse Now I'm searching hard and intentional about finding someone who would be by my side, and I intend to know what i should be looking out for and what not I should be looking out for, so many things i've been searching for based on my fantasies, only to find out that I've been searching in the wrong places. Its good I follow my heart and do what pleases me, but I still need to learn so I don't regret my actions. We only have one life to live, this is my first life I know I'm living, and should be the only one as the Bible teaches us, so its to my best interest to study and see how best it'll be for me not to make errors, how best than to learn from those who have experienced already, the elderly. So what have I learnt not to look out for firstly before explaining what I should look out for. 1 . Not Focusing On A Beauty Or Hot Body Are you beauty yet arrogant, mannerless or lacking basic social interaction etiquettes, believe me someday people would forgo the beauty and give you a taste of your medicine. What keeps a couple over years can't be because they are still infatuated by each others beauty. There ate more important areas to consider while looking for a suitable spouse and that relationship goes beyond mere beauty alone. A hot looking girl or boy today may look so seductive and completely blow off your mind, but it doesn't last forever, the body can changes. Overtime i have seen transformations, slim people getting fat, the fat get slim, one minute you love someone's body and you feel like that is enough reason to live and love the person, but overtime you'll be shocked to see that body you are banking on has change drastically, and you might like the new transformation. Just saying a body is not enough reason to go for a person, it's a tempting reason on doubt but definitely not a good reason of choice. 2 . Talents Another good reason right, imagine having a woman who can cook so well, or having a man who can sing you to tears, would that be enough reason to marry or date such person, now we know talents doesn't change with time, if you have a talent that talent is likely to remain with you till the end of time. For example you guys on this platform can't possibly not know how to write good articles, you've done it over time and know the drill so it can't be stolen off you, similarly if you can sing or dance, or act or any nice talent, it can't possibly be stolen off you, but yet its not enough reason to pick a partner. Talents are nice but can you deal with the actual person when he of she is not exhibiting the talent anymore. 3 . Wealth Hmm I think I can pick a spouse for this singular reason, lol, just kidding guys lol.... It is a secured motive,when this is in place you really want to stay, imagine a place where you would have everything you want to buy, whatever you want to eat, where you want to go both internationally and locally, no doubt its a quest for many, but out of the many who has entered into a relationship having this as a mindset have mostly been disappointed. It goes farther than just having wealth, the person behind the wealth would determine if the people would enjoy or be doom cause wealth is power and authority. These among others are things I love but I very much know they can't and shouldn't be the center of my search. I won't go concluding before of physical attributes alone, no doubt I like them, yes I want my spouse to have them too, but I would most likely be in trouble if i make those my priorities. Now let's dive down to those things I hope to look out for, what I'm gonna search with more interest than any other interests. 1 . God Fearing I know why i mentioned this first, it seems the world has forgotten the essence of this statement, when being told to go for a God fearing person, either male or female. Someone who truly fears God and will to keep his comandment. Being truly God has a way to settle a lot of possibly arising issues incoming from the future. When the Bible says no to adultery, Formication, jealous leaading to unsatisfation. Also we need a God fearing too as there are many hurdles in a marriage and with proper prayers it would all be sorted out,, 2 . Loyalty & Love Can't be overemphasis more we can try, when she truly has her loyalty for you as a man, it gives a different kind if security, with pronounced loyalty a long distance relationship would scale through. Love is the grand master of all option to pick a spouse from, I look out for someone that's show to love me truly. 3 . Respect Respect is reciprocal and it applies likewise to a relationship, there are actions that can be tagged as a pure heart of disrespect and all this causes fight, especially with the men who hates to get taken for less. Ladise too dislike an act of disrespect, we can understand each other and know how to respect each other's boundaries. Maybe after these that I look out for,getting an additional attribute would be lovely indeed, the wealth, the beauty, the talents. It would must definitely be great. Who doesn't want it all? You do too.

The Outside World Outside appears differently to everyone, dependent on various affecting factors, to some its location, to some its family, to some its the sense of reasoning, to some its their conditions. But one thing stands sure and that's the fact that we all need to go outside, staying inside is staying limited, is staying scared or frightening, it means being inferior with low self esteem, the true test of our existence is when we get outside, we get to the world outside with the aim to conquer. Let's home this article throw enough light to make us wanna leave our shell. The world outside is a world of competition, ever thought you're the best, in your head no one can possible contend with what you do, yours is simply magical, yea I agree with you, but have you taken a walk to the world outside, it's a place that would teach you to hold fast on your ground, its not a place the weak can stay much longer, that well esteemed craft you've placed on high regard with be belittled in a twinkling of an eye, it's now left to us all to either give up in Shame or keep believing to earn our rightful spot in the sounds of time. The world outside can be rugged, or can be quiet, it can be protective or it can be offensive, it can be manageable, it can be unbearable, its dependent on the environment life as placed you in. Sometimes its the ruling government fault as their laws and verdicts has cause mayhem in the country leading the citizens to violence. Some times it can be the people whose sense of reasoning are centered around crime and trouble, being In a midst like that needs extra carefulness and it is slightly inevitable, so sometimes to change the world outside for the better, we might need to switch locations. Family too has a part to play with how the world outside relates to us. Growing up we were young and not in control of our affairs, so our family basically our father and mother were the ones who shaped us into who we were until we could think for our selves, they laid a foundation in us from which we carried on from. If they sent us to a bad school which can't teach us well while we were still young, and we grew up not being able to assimilate things well enough, then its not really your fault, now all this has a way of our the outside world deals with you too, are you smart, are you dull are you respectful or insulting, the outside has its match on us, it can be so wicked at times. The outside world can be so cruel also. Especially to people because of their conditions, it isn't anyones fault either but the state of things has changed the way life relates to them. imagine being abused by anyone and not being able to talk for yourself or defend yourself because or stature or disabilities, such oppression gotten from the careless people of the world. Indeed the world can be very unbearable to people, however after the world plays its card remember you too are a player so you play your cards too. I take it to be more of a mind game, if the world outside is crazy, unbearable, choking and what have you, we can't do anything about that, its others decisions playing out, however how we deal with it, what we do are our cards we play out to the world also, and since it's all a game, a winner emerges, we play right and we play good, by countering the bad acts of the world. Firstly we don't let it affect or get to us, we keep our emotions in check, because our emotions would matter how we react and how we react can make things worse or better. Secondly after ensuring our emotions aren't getting the better off us, the next available resolution is to find out the cause of it all, why, what is the reason why the outside world is not get conducive for us, is it environmental location, family, money, conditions or what. Getting to know and understand the root cause can help profer quicker and better solutions. If its a location thing then you can choose to relocate or see what can be done to make changes, if its conditions that can't be changed, then let the mind be stronger and fight the world with your mind, visions and plans, get the root cause then think on the solution. We must go outside, outside is where it all is, so staying inside is not a option, we are coming out. Lastly and most importantly, be good while you are outside too, the reason why the outside is awful is an action of the people, non living things don't control the situation, it is humans doing as will, if there is enough crime, its a human commiting it, global warming, its human activities causing harmful emission, if there is hunger, it's a human government not enacting well, so a human like you and I are the cause and a human like you and I would bring the solution. So while you are outside too remember you're a possible solution giver and do the right thing. Not just for yourself but for everyone. Make coming outside conducive for someone else. Thanks For Reading.

Get Money First, Passion Second (This Article Contains My Perspective To Work, Not To Be Imposed On Anyone). We don't need to lie to ourselves anymore, telling people to go for passion when they aren't able to eat first or settle a lot of basic needs. Passion too requires finance to scale more. Lack of proper funding can make that passion lose its burning fire. For instance, haven't you listened to many amazing songs from people who aren't popular, and listened to some bad songs from those who are popular. But the popular ones enjoying the benefits of the music are happy, while those who can't fund their music can sto remain in the shadow, likely not going to heard by people across border. Music is one of the major influencers to a happy life. There are passions that pay as soon as one would start off, some passions are just so lucky to some others that they get good funds from it from a very early stage, many however have to battle with patients and believing that one day would change everything. Imagine someone who loves to join the marines but can't afford to pay for the few things needed for him to start with, many have forfeited that opportunity because of lack of funds and capable help from others. Of course i don't mean to say its wrong to follow your passion before earning a living at least, just saying its safer and more stress free. Most of the wealthiest people don't know anything about what they are into, they are still slightly ignorant of the every aspect of their line of work. But they knew smarter to create what can earn a sustainable income from. Earn first, with this you can be more relaxed knowing fully well that at least there's something waiting for you at home, a food and drink, so after a crazy day, you can fall back to a good home rest. But if you don't earn at least then being hungry or angry, you having a bad day wouldn't be dealt with nicely. Its easier to give up on dreams when you think it's not working out as planned. Years has been put into learning, added to our formal education, our early lives has been centered around learning and learning, then we come out only to come learn again what it is we need to do to get by everyday. Luckily few would work immediately after school, using what school taught, but many others wouldn't and they have to learn a skill or skills again. So basically we learn so we are prepared to earn. For those who are without a open stream of income, and seek to follow with passion first, they might not be finding it easy, the dreams are now warring against reality. But with proper funding to cater to a good extent one could still work with lighter labour. I particularly feel when we earn first, we are able to shift aside the rush to make it big quickly. Because the bills are pilling up and things needs to be sorted out, there would be a sense of urgency to see that the passion yield forth result as quickly as possible. Firstly this is bad for business, and very bad for a passion we seek to do long term. Such yearning would make us skip some needed process as we want the success to come real quick. Same way it takes time for seed to grow and gets its root solid grounded in the soil, same way we are to grow our different start up, rushing the process is bad for its survival, more reason why we need to remove any reason to rush it, since its our passion. The most reason why so many passion have been diverted today is because it wasn't bringing for the fruits they envisioned, it wasn't supposed to be this stressful, so they stopped or rather ran away to another. Basically its not easy to push on without a source for personal care, maybe with support from others our quest to grow our passion would be easier. Supports like friends, family, colleagues and even strangers more financially than any other. In the issue of sustainance, money is a leading factor, money helps us feel the love and care, cause without money the mind is already diverted. Good enough there is provision set down for you already, then going to earn first before pushing your passion wouldn't be applicable cause luckily you have your needs met and bills paid already, plus all that which eats up our money slowly would be taken care of. So this applies basically to those who aren't so lucky to be born into wealth or have a source to cater for their needs, such people, have got to earn first, earn to eat, eat to have a shelter and cloth, earn to stay healthy, earn to have basic social amenities, earn to take care of parents and offspring, in short earning to settle all those things that drives us crazy but we need to pay for. Stay on top of the game with proper planning, there is a right time to set out, there is a right time to prepare for the right time, use the time judiciously by getting to earn and save up for a smooth run, when you finally say its time to go for this, you'll have little to bother about, little to make one feel frustrated, like I need it to bring more urgently. Rather we carefully see it grow, patiently supervise it's growth and not rush it. Thanks For Reading.

Learning To Smile While Waiting It doesn't come easy to everyone, some people are seeing life more hotter and harder than we are, in fact some people pray to have at least like you. To them having what you have would be a breakthrough, you and I on the other hand don't really appreciate our present state, we pray for higher, no one should appreciate their current state, not even the wealthy men, they still aim for higher. Contentment is a needed tool, it doesn't mean we won't yearn for more, it just means that the quest for more won't consume us into doing crazy things. Everyone prays and work for better, but how do we wait. The waiting time is the real test time, indeed is not just the question of did you wait, its more beacon on "how did you wait", when the going gets tough, how did you wait. Was the frustration so overwhelming that you made life unbearable for yourself or those around you. Were you so angry that you did so much wrong while waiting. There is a time for everything, no one gets to the top so quick, maybe those born with a silver spoon were lucky to have their finances settled, but hey the struggle is not all about money, there is career, love, family, all this we must work to get better results. While waiting we really want to wait with the right attitude. Yes, everyone is applauded for waiting and would likely proceed to the next level, of course they all waited, but there is something special for those who waited right, who endured the process keeping their eyes fixed on the goal till it came through. For example, this is common with new business start up, from the onset its almost frustrating when we are not seeing the results we envisioned. Our minds are fund of doubling our profit, when we are thinking of how the business would be making sales before we officially started, we got excited, but when we actually start, its a different ball game, however we must wait, not just wait, wait well. Have you been promised something and you have high expectations already, not necessarily promised money by a friend or family, you could also be promise a good deal, or a job, or waiting, waiting to get engaged, married, pregnant, and you are already anticipating, now its taking longer, you're praying about it and wishing it really comes to reality, still smile, smile knowing its going to happen. You are aware you have to remain positive to the end, believing, all would be well, but its not really sounding easy, yet no choice but to be patient, just be patient in full believe, its all going to be alright. Its all going to be fine. All things would work out for my Good. Smiling in the midst of that trying time is a good tool to learn. Its sends the right message to your emotions, our mind reads this and accept it and instantly creates peace from within. The monks practice this as a religion, they try to relax, and send a positive seed to nature believing that nature would reciprocate and give them good news as a result for their expressed faith. Smile when you just hit your leg on a stop, yes start with that, well I know you probably think I'm joking but I'm not, I'm very serious, learn to smoke when you suddenly hit your leg on a stone and it hurts so bad. I'll tell you why. Here's why, firstly it depicts all we need to explain about life and its unforseen circumstances. If we knew we wouldn't kick our legs on stone, I doubt anyone would knowingly do that to hurt his or herself. Similarly no one would knowingly fail, or make business go bad, or fail to receive a promise well anticipated, and so on, no one really wants to feel bad, but most times they just happen along life, same way we kick our legs on stone, so if we can learn to smile in the heat of the pain, then that absorbent we learnt would help us react to that sharp pain of frustration from life's troubles. Like I always say life would always continue, be you happy or sad, time wouldn't wait till you're ready to start ticking again. So while we are feeling bad, we can try to feel good too, cos life would continue. Relax and act with the right attitude. Of course bring God into it and it would be more secured and guaranteed. Its not just enough to wait, its more bent on we waiting well, with the right attitude and mindset, the best approaches to this is to learn to smile at trying times too, not only when things are rosy or someone is being funny, smile in times too when you're hooked and not knowing what to do next. Smiling is not a solution, it wouldn't supernaturally resolve the problem as soon as you smile. But yet smile though cause its better than frowning and crying. Smiling puts us in control. Someone once said smiling in trials confuses the enemies and that is totally right. If you smile or you cry it wouldn't bring a solution asap, but smiling has more benefits as already discussed here. Smile now, smile later, smile always. We all should learn to smile in trail times. It puts on in charge of the situation. Always with a smile. Thanks For Reading.

Let's Welcome August Happy New month everyone, it's the 8th month of the year already, someone is saying "wow so fast", well yeah so fast indeed, and it would keep on going forward, time has never returned backward to say "oh sorry I went to fast", rather its journey is head on straight like a soldier matching forward. August more like every other month holds a lot of possibilities, however we choices of actions would be the defining factor if truly, August would be different or just like any other month. Hopefully God has already destined some awesome blessings for us to enjoy regardless of our actions this month. For the month of August I already see lot and loads of goodies coming our way, thank God the day is starting off on a Sunday, so do well to attend church. Most people around the world would be kick starting their month in church or mosque, cause the Sunday is a popular day where most of the worlds populace goes all out to worship our creator, so that's a good sign already. Well I'm not saying of the month should start on a Friday where most people are in the club, then the month is sinful, no that's wrong. God blesses all day, just a fact that most of us would be starting the month in prayer and Thanksgiving to God. There are segmented ways I intend to start off the month. 1. Gratitude First: My strength and wisdom couldn't possibly see me to this time, so many months have gone by although from birth till date, so many risk I have taken, so many roads I have trodden, I am dull to know that all these has been God showing mercy and seeing me through, alongside my family and friends, including you lovely people on this platform. So first off, I'm going to express gratitude to my God for yet another awesome month. Moreover you all know the secret of gratitude, when I appreciate well, then I am opening up the heart of the giver to give more. 2. Self Reflection: Start the first day of the month from the power house of the body, I mean our thoughts, evaluating the previous months and all it has done, how things has played out, things we did wrong and should have done differently and those things we definitely did right, plus we have to grow more on it. There are so many things we can do as humans but if we don't find our time to think and really think deep about our lives, we might not really get it. August might be needing us to make adjustment. There's so much to discover when we are in deep thoughts, so much that would be profitable to us in this new month of August. 3. Having A Plan: After reflecting and thinking deep about my thus far and how It has all played out, I'll see to get a plan, one I can try to work with. Definitely there's no guarantee that all would work has planned, cause occurrences could adjust or completely scatter ones plans, however its doesn't stop the fact that the best course of action is to really get a vivid plan laid out. Banking on hope is not bad, it helps boost our faith in God that all would be well, but while we hope we would make good use of the elements available to us, which of course is our thinking faculty. A great thinker already has less to pray in demand for, because some of the issues we experience as humans, are things we already know what to do to resolve, If you fall down, do you pray that you stand up or you know you have to move your body to stand up. If you're in a debt, do you pray day and night for a super natural Money to swim into your account or you know you have to work in order to earn and pay off. Same way, the solution we need for the month of August might be to plan it, and follow strategically, all things being equal. 4. Go Enjoy The Experience: Like i said earlier, nothing is certain over here, you can plan so much and things readjusts the plan, or that plan can work out perfectly, you never can tell however its best we plan than just fold hands and watch. Now that we have plan, lets take necessary actions and enjoy the experience. If the plans doesn't go through, enjoy the experience, life continues and there is always going to be more good times. How about if the plan excels and works out well, still you'll enjoy the experience right. Either way make sure to catch fun and enjoy every moment of this awesome month of August. Stay happy and grateful guys, August has a lot of possibilities and Blessings in store for us courtesy of our God Almighty, so we praise him in advance, thank him for the past and present and also in anticipation of the incoming goodies. This month I walk in love, cause if I sow good then I can also reap good. Its such a delight to see a new month. Happy new month to you all. Welcome to the great month of August. Thanks For Reading.
