How Do You See Yourself?
Overtime we have learnt greatness comes from within, what others say or do could only be an influence, the true greatness emanates from from our mind restructuring. However it's sad to see some people never gets to the peak because they don't believe they are fit or have the capacity to be in such positions, and when we look for the root cause, you'll find out its cause they have so much believed in what others say about them, it's a general occurrence that we care how others perceive us, but it's an individual decision to make it painful or just a mere criticism. Words shouldn't pull us down, what we have inside and left unused is far more amazing and better than what we have done. We all should know we are more than enough.
Who told you that you aren't special, you should know that is a heavy lie, in fact you are so special that you are already the preferred option, chosen because you're enough to fit in, chosen by who truly matters. Maybe we must stop seeking the opinion of people who doesn't matter and remain focused on those who truly matters. And whether we like it or not some people don't matter to us, we must spot them out, we are just to good at times to care about people who only want us to be down and feel bad. Sometimes lets watch and sieve, we would see some close circles of people we should care less what they do to us, it doesn't matter cause they aren't sincere, probably just jealous.
Funny how your kid can come back home feeling sad, probably because someone has insulted her in school and you act like its OK, have you told them the truth about life, how much do they know they are more than enough, and no one is better than they, no man is a super human, everyone is only flesh and blood and the true power lies in their mind, the mind is the force that propels greatest. No one should bring down their self believe, they are the greatest, we are the greatest, you are the greatest, I am the greatest. I am enough.
As a family, we most hold ourselves in high regards, it's family first, its safer this way, except in situations when a family member is proven to be bad or rather evil, then its best we seek other outlets to save ourselves, however such cases are rare, and family would mostly have your back genuinely, they want to see you grow, ready to stand up and fight for you.
Mother's are always ready to lay down their lives for their kids without a second thoughts, and father's alike. The older siblings are always prepared to protect, and the younger are always cheering you up, its a safer place to care more for family, this way we are not bothered about those who treat us badly, and say hurtful words cause we have people who say the right words to us, and they matter more to us. Big respect to the Kardasians family, you could see the bond waxing stronger daily. Just an example among many awesome families out there, including ours.
As spiritual people we must seek to know the thought of our supreme ruler concerning our lives much more than the world's opinion that often weigh us down. What does the world say vs what does his word say. A good example of what the world would say is " you're not good enough and you can't get to that place, who do you know, are you connected in high places, how much do you have?, all this causes a lot of trouble in our mind.
Nevertheless his words begin to tell me, I am the light of the world, I'm set on a hill and cannot be hidden, he's telling me to arise and shine for my time has come, he told me that his thoughts for me are good and not evil, such that would bring me to a great end. So the balls is in my court, which words would I personify, whose report would I regard, well I've chosen to disregard the worlds verdicts and keep my hopes high on his word, this way I'm motivated daily to stand out and be successful. Remember my previous article on bad energy, well the word of God is full of good energy, the world on the other hand has lot of worries and trouble, this can be bad energies, let's choose right.
Anything whatsoever that's currently making you think down on yourself is totally unnecessary, as much as you can think and act properly all you need is to put your mind to work and things would get better. Majorly we put in our best when we are happy than we do when we are sad. You don't expect someone to be motivated by mocking or intimidating them, what you expect rather is that you kill their morale so they can't function right, the few comebacks we heard off, who were first insulted and later showed to be winners all went to a reforming of mindset. They had first admit that greatness is possible and they can get it.
You are enough, enough to bag that deal, enough to get the most amazing partner to marry, enough to get that dream job, enough to get the crowd screaming your name in excitement, enough to turn those dreams to reality, you are enough, no one should tell you otherwise, who can tell you more about you than you, who can bring you down without your consent. Its our world, we rule guys.

Learning To Distinguish
You have your needs, the necessities and then you have your wants, your desires, it's worth differentiating, we need to be able to prioritize the needs from the wants, this way we are in plan and know which agenda to follow up with more effort compared to others. But situations where we go for wants and spend so much efforts and investments on it, there may be little or nothing left to go for the needs, the necessities should be prioritized best, then off the rest we deal with the wants.
I feel one major part to living our lives in the best possible way is being able to distinguish between what we are feeling and what we should feel, more like knowing the difference between what my heart craves for and what option is best for my heart. Most times our human cravings and heart desires longs for those things that would not be pleasant to us, many are already addicted to habits that are health threatening, we know its bad, we know we don't need this or that but yet we mostly go with our heart desires much more than we go with our critical thinking.
Haven't you seen toxic relationships, the man or woman knows this is bad for me, it would take a lot of endurance to keep pushing through each day with this man or with this woman, but yet we stay either because we are in love or sometimes we still have a few things to benefit, or hanging on because of what would people say. Our brains are not asleep, as long as we are in our right state of mind, we would surely know what is toxic to us, then it'll be our decision to either continue or stop it now. People don't really change because they want to please you or because you demand them too, it mostly because of an encounter that has humbled them into knowing its time to call this or that a quit. So weigh the options this are your desire and this are what you should need, however which would you follow?
With each passing day its becoming clearer that we are the ones to select that which we truly want out of life, life stays on a neutral ground not seeking your downfall and at same time not seeking your upliftment, its just like a field, how we are positioned and the choices we make determines the outcome. With these no one can truly be held accountable for the outcomes of your life, being born into a very poor family is a disadvantage already from the start, however few have been through worst and today are at the top, so the high aims are not mission impossible, they are very achievable, and that we shall achieve.
Who do you want and who do you need, know this first then you can start evaluating if you can go with your heart desires or you should consider your life and go with who you need. Some people who are our true desires are not good options to be acquainted with, it would be a bad choice however we lust for them, maybe their beauty, maybe their physical appearance, maybe their social status, but then there's another you should go for preferred, those are who you truly need, they can bring the best of out you, help your career, make a good family together, career and personality on point, these are what you know you truly need but the desires for the eyes are so tempting.
Its not always about the beauty and physical attractions, with time all these would begin to matter less, as you would be focused on family and kids, then you'll Want a man or a woman very responsible be enough to be called daddy or mommy, and not one who is better off being single. Your life and future goals matters more at every point so I always suggest that we go with who we need In our lives and not just who we want. However you'll be lucky if who you want has the attributes of who you need in your life. Then it's a win win already.
Also there are things we want and there are things we need. However because this are things and not a person, they can all be gotten but then it has to be placed in a scale of preference, that's doing the more important (the needful) before the less important (the want). However; should that which you want is detrimental to your life or health then its very advisable you stop it and rather go on with what you need.
So we place it all in order of their importance, there are things more important than the other, we might want to do or get this first but we know its a better choice to go with that first. The choice remains ours, no one calls the shots but us, and so we only can be blamed for our decision and outcome thereafter. Getting a job first might be better than getting a car, getting food might be needed first before going to lecture, giving money to your parents or family is always better first than giving to attractive girls or boys, getting your education first before getting pregnant especially for the teenagers. We can all think and that's all we need for making the right decisions.
Life can be better with more improved decision if we can think things through before we act.

Our Selfish Desires
It's so crazy nowadays, selfish desires every here and there, its crazy indeed. Its a fake kind of love, they are here for the benefits alone. Only while it favours them do they act to be devoted. The quest for our selfish desires especially money has done more harm than good, we rarely know who truly likes us or not, a wealthy guy or lady has to be more careful in his or her selection because everyone acts like they are into him or her and plays the game so well, but the time when the benefits is halted, would they still be there to shoulder the responsibilities with you. Take a walk around, look at the relationship you can find around you, the numbers of fake love is doubling by the day.
If we don't have an issue with this yet, then we haven't yet understand that marriage is a life long affair and it'll be risky to stay together with someone who is not into you, when they finally have it all and have no need for you any longer, what would happen then. Flee selfish love, go for those connected to you by heart and not by kind. No matter how wealthy or how broke you might be there is always someone, the right one for you, we must carefully select for the sake of our peace and happiness.
Well its not one sided, as those who engage in selfish loving has to be caeful on who they prey on, the wealthy really knows how to play the game too, they know why you came around, most are not decieved by the acting and claiming to love, they are also engaging in selfish love too, they probably have what they stand to gain then dump, many people end up in tears because they were in a love that was not genuine, it had what it was hanging on, once that leverage is removed, its all over. Love right, try deciphering the reason behind the affection, know this for peace sake.
Many beautiful ladies are sadly victims of selfish love, the guys comes with promises of love and affections but only wants to lay with them, they moment they have gotten their desires they see no need to keep going in the relationship, some have experienced this for consequentll times that they have concluded that all men be the same, but so untrue as they are capable of finding true love amidst the wrongs.
Selfish love has its fair share on both the male and on the females, the simple way out has been to use ones head rather than using emotions, from the first instance we must do well to understand what the relationship definition would be, why are they attracted to you, is it really true love or there is an ulterior motive, do well to be watchful. They say its wrong to test your partner, well then do it before you both finally becomes partners, make your findings before you both finally gets serious with each other, love is blind but then study the road while you can see, so you know how to walk in the blindness of love.
Today you see ladies get married to a man way other than her father and mother and you say its true love, are you serious, why does she still watch movies and love the actors and have crushes, then what brought them into such conjugal Bliss, you need no soothsayer to spell it to you. Should another older man surface, one without enough money as they desire, I bet the insult he would receive would be enough to make a grown man cry. Lol.
More pronounced in relationships but not limited to relationship only. I can remember back then in the university, in the quest to get good grades, during examination times, a brilliant boy or girl is bound to make many friends, you would start wondering why now? Why not during normal lecture times, then there was no pressure and they did what they really wanted, followed who they truly want and catch their fun, but as the exams starts approaching, its time for them to cling to that boy or girl who can help them. Be sensible to know those who are true to you and those seasonal people only there for the benefits.
How about in the office, how many are loyal to the boss in his or her front but disdain him or her when she's no longer there. How many of the friends you have kept thinking they are your best friends have now betrayed you, how many times have you helped but when you are in dire need they seem not to care. Shun fake selfish love.
We are not desperate to live or be loved. We wait patiently as we are positive we would surely get the right ones, if we maintain our wisdom and principle. Selfish love is a short term love and its very dangerous, flee from it once you discover. Be vigilant. Some people really don't care about you, they are here for the gain only.

How Wrong Is Body Shaming
Good day guys, today let's talk on body shaming, how wrong is it. I have seen and experience quite a lot for myself and I too had experience this act called body shaming. It's one of the quickest way to get someone feeling sad and utterly changing someone's mood to a bad one all at a go, just with the utterance of those unpleasant words. Is it wrong to advice someone on how to go about maintaining or adjusting their body ? No, but its wrong when its said in such a way, that it never encourages the morale of the supposed person, rather it makes them cry or sad.
Words like look at your skin, damn... what stupid cream do you use, you look so bad, these words already wants to get someone running off home to hide his or herself in a closet away from the world. The implications to this is the fact that such person would likely miss out on important places to go, as he or she is no more comfortable meeting other people, being like what would people be saying in their mind, oh I look bad. Even for the strong hearted few who could still choose to go, they had lost all sense of confidence and are likely to stutter as they feel less, so you see those words might get them serious, but it has spoilt a lot in the process.
Fat, fat people really deal with a lot, luckily they're so many in recent times that it looks almost normal, and more and more fat people are coming out and doing their thing, without any form of shaming at heart, and guess what, the audience loves them. Its almost like a distinguishing factor to them, they are easy to spot out and given the needed attention. However this confidence doesn't exist in all, still for many others, it's a war they hope to counter attack, they might be trying their best, but you know its easier to get fat than it is to loose the weight, those excercises aren't easy.
The truth is we can do better, we can say inbetter. To all this there is a better way to saying it out. It hurts real deep when we try to insult someone with something they too know you're likely to pick out, they could be trying to change it but it doesn't just happen, it has to be carefully supervised. The major issue to this is the lowering of the self esteem, if the shaming were mere harmless insults, then it wouldn't be treated as an offence worth cautioning, but we have seem how such words completely spoils it for a person. Some have deemed their lifes worthless, when in reality it isn't a life determinate.
Men too get body shamed. It's as though we think the men aren't proofs to this insults, so while we may want to go soft on the females, the men are told outright and it's as though it's fine, he would deal with it. He's a man, hey you too fat, and everyone laughs, however the same emotional trauma, we are subjecting this man to. Men to stare at the mirror for longer hours wondering why on earth they are that way. Trying to deal with it, is enough trauma, you adding your insults to it, is only making matters worse, and it should be stopped as soon as possible.
As a young man I had severe skin break outs, the pimples and spot were much, to make matters worse, the crazy friends I had were happy to tease me with it, I could stare at the mirror for long hours wishing all the acnes would all disappear, sometime it gets worst and I stay home, off school, off visitation, off so many things, all waiting for the acnes to subside or reduce, I wished it would get easier for me, but it didn't go easily, those crazy friends made matters worst, if they had been easy on me, maybe I could have summoned enough courage to come at least, moreover it's a normal occurence, yet made it so unbearable.
If funny to picture that so many people today would be dealing different issues, some to which they are body shamed of, we can do better. We can't except everyone to know how to care less, so many people live with so many problem, we preying on the problem may be like pouring fuel to fire, it doesn't solve the issue, rather it daunts on the self confidence and esteem of the supposed individual, the reaction could be sometimes severe even till suicide, we have to be cautious of what we say around them, learn to politely advice situations, with proffering likely solutions, not to make jest, or abuse.
Beauty is in the attitude too, but appearances too matters a big deal, so let's try to work on ourselves. Don't be afraid to raise topics that are of concern to you, if we don't talk about it, we may never solve it, so when people talk about it, maybe trying to talk on your body, try to listen and guard your heart from feeling bad or having a low self esteem, maybe a solution may rise off it, never be quick to conclude that someone just wants to make jest of you. We all on the other hand, must learn to go easy on people, stop body shaming, its wrong, moreover we all have something to be ashamed of, just maybe people aren't aware. We can do better, body shaming doesn't help, it makes matters worst.

Earn Respect
There are so many things we should earn, as much as our minds drift towards money, there are other things we should seek to earn, and respect should be prioritized as one of these. Everyone wants to earn their respect from people, I don't like it when someone talks bad to me or in an insulting manner to me, I also on my part try to speak right to people irrespective of the age difference or social level, we all have emotions, emotions which can be hurt at any slight words or actions and we must respect each other feelings.
However its sad that many people don't care about the feeling of their next neighbor, they just satisfy their own feelings, do what they want and say what they like, not caring how the recipient receives the message. The streets are worst, full of insults and mockery, and its almost like there's no hard feelings, its becoming a normal way of interacting. Its popularly echoed that we do unto others what we want them to do to us, so if we for one like our respects, don't we know that the next person also like his, and certainly deserves to be respected.
Respect is a necessary requirement for inter personal relationship, two or more people would walk farther when each of them see the need of keeping the mood right, when one of the person is bridging the respect, it can be insighting strive, and anger, this is the beginning of conflict. The young should respect as well as the old, it's not a way sided act, its a must for everyone. The younger people don't lack emotions, nor do the older people grow iron hearts, being disrespected would still hurt so bad any day anytime, its a reason people might not like to come around you, we all want to be in a place with someone who isn't making us feel bad.
Respect should never get out of trend, formerly a child is trained by the full community, we are taught on the necessity to respect older people, our words to them are engulfed with respect, should we forget to greet, we'll feel like we are loosing our good values, how rapid things are changing, now its called freedom, that a child doesn't need to greet the older people of the environment, we didn't see the adverse effect of such actions of letting the children behave like adult when they should be taught of norms and tradition. When a child is told that its not important to respect older people its a good as telling them we are all equal, not minding that one is more experienced, this in turn has a way to say you should relate with them as you relate with your peers, you can insult them and its fine.
Organizations needs to uphold the need to inter persons respect on all levels of hierarchy, a business that has its staff feeling good to work would in turn produce better result, respect offers peace as well as it leads to better communication, more percent of the conflict experienced in work place is mainly rising when someone disrespect another maybe unknowingly or could be intentional, the boss are not left out, a boss can choose to be strict but must never choose to be disrespectful.
A loyal employees would start building his or her guts to someday confront you from the day you choose to disrespect them. The money is important but happiness too is important, some people however don't mind loosing their job the day you choose to disrespect them, giving a taste of your medicine, few others are either quiet or simply choosing to tolerate as they need the pay. However whats bad is bad and cannot be painted good, disrespect is bad, no matter if you're the president of the country, you must respect people's emotion.
No jokes that the world would be a better place when every respect each other, parents respect their kids and vice versa, respect their talent and ambition, thereby helping and supporting them to seeing they improve in it. The teachers respects the students and vice versa, this ensures that demeaning words would not be said to a child, words capable of bringing down their self esteem. Insults between friends can't be stopped, its part of the fun but there are extents to which we know we can go, some words are definitely pass what we should say, for instance words to insult a friends family how you know it'll surely hurt is no longer fun, it's a clear act of disrespect.
We in turn should help our selves to be happier by choosing to be around better people who are emotionally intelligent, they know what to do or say that would foster a better relationship and likely growth. Everyone can change, humans are dynamic but some people would take a long time or are rather too stubborn to change as they are fully grown in disrespect as a norm. Being around emotionally intelligent people is a self preservative measures that would help us control what happens to some extent at least. Respect is reciprocal guys, respect so in turn you'll be respected.

Power Of Preparation P.O.P
Sometimes it isn't about the now, its can't be justified by what we experience now, overtime we have seen the importance of preparing against the future, now be stress ourselves but as surely as day and night routines to come in, we are surely going to see the long awaited day come through. Life in itself has been teaching us the importance of preparation, it has been the standard of operation right from when we were young till now that we are older. For example, while growing up we were mandated to go to schools and learn, for many of us like myself school wasn't so fun at first so I felt like I was being forced into it, little did I know that I was only being prepared for later.
Today the schools we went to aren't were we are anymore, most of us has left the four walls of the university or any form of higher learning and are currently facing life squarely. Now we see clearly that we are more equipped and have been prepared for what we are facing now. Back then the math teacher look like terror, however those calculations has at least increased our brain storming ability, which in turn has helped us navigate through some problems, by carefully calculating to the way out. Like I said, it's never about the now at times, now can be inconvenient so that tomorrow would be very convenient.
Maybe the school illustration is making someone feel like this issue of Preparation does not apply to him or her, no that's wrong. It applies to every single being on earth, there is a great call to prepare, both as an intentional act or as an unintentional act we all are called to prepare. The future they say is pregnant, not knowing what it holds for us or to us, however unlike a baby in which the gender can not be engineered to the sex they want, in real life setting the future can be conformed to the vision we want, and it all starts from an intentional preparation, prepare for what you envision, Preparation pushes it out from the drawing board into reality. Remember that even Jesus had to prepare well before he fully began his ministry at age 30.
On Sunday I met with a friend of mine who is currently doing well for himself, if you know what I mean. Financially and family wise he was making things happen, then I had to enquire of him after a few deep talks about his journey so far, then he hit on this same issue of Preparation, he kept on and it was clearly a well drafted plans, although still not up to the full plan yet but he's working on it and sure it beat the mark on the long run. Another thing the story drew my attention to is the fact that we need to be certain about what we want to go after, I mean fully sure then we can go go go. I guess many just want life to play out anyways while they flow, don't bother life is always playing out, but you can navigate through when you are certain on where you are heading to.
Towards the concluding times of his university, he had meant with a man, someone who had gone far down into the coperate world, indeed the man was one the graduating students would be okay to be like, fine car, well dressed, well honoured by lecturers, they all knew without a doubt he wasn't a joking with his time, he must be rich. Now in a meeting this man was invited to talk, as a way of enlightening the student on how to go about their career path, he had talked more on what to do best, he stated his mistakes as well as his good moves so people could make better choices and even be better than he was. Part of what the man adviced on was the things my dear friend took to heart and work towards.
Some of the courses he had to take were way past his budget and I was struck when he explained in detail the way he starved himself to gather up, even the long distance he walked just so the transportation money can be saved to help him eat slightly better. Today it all paid off. The same opportunities still exist outside, and for many of us, we can hop on it without a stress, we can survive through the process of Preparation and not starve, even if we don't have enough, yet we have a preferred alternative, the issue i guess is that we are not ready, not yet at least. However it's better we are ready on time so we can start preparing earlier.
Surely there is a tomorrow you wish for, everi one has dreams, something they hope for, you have yours as well as mine. Its not okay to relax and let life play while you just flow at any directions it blows you too, we can afford to be mediocre, it's too risky to be a mediocre, cause you never know what's is in it for the future, but with a concious planning, we can at least know this is were we are headed, in the worst case scenario this is where I should be and must have achieved. So it's a no to being mediocre and quit being lazy to plan for tomorrow, today has come already and we might not be happy with the way our today is, we can keep wishing but only a concious act to start preparing for tomorrow would bring the change we desire.
Its popularly echoed that "whoever fails to plan is indirectly planning to fail", this buttresses the point that its risky to not plan. Every man feeding his family now must have taken out time to learn the job he's using to get income, it's was a planning time, a time of preparation. Our mothers super powers in the kitchen at same time with us, shuffling multiple task at once didn't just start at marriage, its something they had to learn while they were still young, even you too, your current state is as a result of your past actions, even as a student, you wouldn't be in the current level if you didn't pass through the previous. Life is sounding it as clearly as possible, prepare guys, take a seat and plan. That tomorrow we want is worth planning for now.

Why Are You Running?
Everyone seems to be running, so many race, so many motivations, inspirations, ambitions all this giving birth to so many quest, but where are we running to, huh? We all have our individual races, but one thing stands certain, and that is the fact that we must all run. Its better we run with a vision, this way we retain focus and not miss track. You too are running, but what is your race aim, what do you do and what are you aiming to achieve. All well planned life is headed to being envied in the nearest future. Indeed we need to plan ourselves, write the vision, make it plain, so that all who sees it, would run along without confusion.
Keep running with the vision, moreover how far can we run without knowing what we are running to, a laid down vision is Paramount to our both daily and summed up work. Without a reason being established things would continue to be done as pleased, we need a vision, so we can run better. Someone might speak on speed being needed as well in our vision race but that's all a secondary need. Running with speed but no direction is as good as wasting energy, energy that can be better productive if channeled in the right moves, and the right moves comes with getting the overview of what you aim for, of what you want to achieve in short term and long term, however this is truly possible via the help of God and discipline.
This way its easier to bring other people over to assist in doing things too, as they already know of the mission statement, this is what we are collectively channeling our effort to as a group. Working in group is often a hard task to do, as we have different people with different attitude and characters, differences that would likely lead to choas and quarrels, but when there is a single aim for everyone, they wouldn't let personal difference affect the work effect for the organization.
However its best when everyone is in good terms. Applying good conflict resolution could also be great cause there is most likely to be differences coming from people, some misunderstanding, they can get to work but how effective would they work without being happy to work, or having their heart race as they have a heat up situation with someone else. The vision needs Everyone to be Happy and peacefully coexisting.
In writing the vision, it should be remarkable as well achievable, some in applying overly excitement have set vision that are rather not realistic, everyone would like to deal internationally, but not everyone would. We aim for the best, however the best and foreseeable point to achieve, not a vision you can see yourself achieving, if you can see it, you can get it. I understand that there's a place of faith, like rugged believe, however with work and ambition you really want to set a mark you know you can stretch to if you try, not one you don't see achieving just because you want to create magic, however when you achieve a mark already, it can be reedited and a new one be set to start pushing again.
Yes, just like winning a trophy, a trophy won is always an incentive to work harder, winners have stronger feelings to push again than losers, a loser might decide to take a break, just to relax although they call it re strategizing. So when a vision formerly set has been achieved, its a happy moment and everyone should be commended and then we set a new one, a higher one but yet realistic again judging from the current stand point. Not one that isn't foreseeable, its often straining when we are running towards a thing we don't see or worst don't know if we can reach, but when we know we can meet with the mark if we try harder as we see it but only needing our extra push to finally get it, we would surely give in our best shot. That best shot is what the business need.
The Bible being my best teacher for life as well as business and all other areas said something very profound, it said make the vision make it plane, and all who sees it would surely run with you, in places where there is no vision, everyone creates what they want, this causes confusion as to what the essence of the company might be holding. Its part of the first steps to take even before the actual work commence, we need everyone to know the aim and objectives.
The vision has to be plane for everyone to see, so when someone is drifting from the goal, he or she can easily be corrected without feeling some kind of way. We all have a task at hand, sooner or later we would be working on our own business, something that would belong to us that would earn us cash and carry our legacy, to this we need to make a vision so everyone coming to help and join and run with. The vision gives us fulfillment of a life well spent, these we once aimed at but now it is a reality, that alone gives us satisfaction that we are doing right aside other benefits. Follow your visions.

Notice how some people appear so shy and timid, do you feel like it's okay?

As much as possible we all must learn to take our stand for a million reasons and more, you shouldn't just be seated and expect things to flow to your favour, and expect everyone to play accordingly, not stepping over you. The world is crazy enough and abnormalities has become the days order, we too needs to be on guard.
At first we were kids, then we grow into the stage of adulthood, by this time we aren't just independent, we are now helpers and supporters, however when you can't stand for yourself, always fretting at the sight of your fellow man, what then is expected from those who should be hiding under your guidance. Everyone is a soldier of his or her own home, we are should have our territory marked, is it not only the way of the jungle, it's the way of life generally. You can say even our world is a jungle and you still won't be wrong, because there are people constantly looking to gain where they haven't toiled. Best for them to encounter the weak, they would siphon till satisfaction.
Ok, how about waiting on God to fight our battles, just as a good religious person should be right, follow peace, or when you are slapped on the right cheek, try turning the other, and all this has made it look as if we all should be mute and going about like zombies. Even in churches we were being taught to be gentle, handsfolded, not talking back at insults, in everything just look and smile to heaven, I very much know this is a misinterpretation and should be corrected, the ideology should be corrected. Did you not know that our lord jesus also shuned at disregard, when there were buying and selling going on in his fathers house (synagogue) what did it do.
This shows and tells us more of what we ought to know. I earlier hit on the fact that we all need to mark our territory as safe zones for us and those around us. Judging from the illustration of jesus, who apparently his the main focal point to which everyone looks and judges their life. The house of God was his top priority, he was sent on a mission and so the church was major place of operation. Now finding out of the menace cause via selling and buying, this was altering the flow and knew it needs to be cut off, hurriedly he corrected it, he wasn't so calm, he was furious, yet some choose to be calm even in needed situations and I wonder who they are looking too.
Every needs to learn to grow their boldness levels, if for any reason they were safe today from the wickedness of life, how about today, peradventure you intervene on someone who is probably being oppressed, do you think all is well then, definitely not, how about the next day when you're not available to render help, and there's none around to help the situation, isn't that a doom day already. Just as they say "rather than giving me fish, do teach me how to fish", saw law applies here, rather than always stepping in for the timid or the bullied, you should look towards teaching them how to stand up for their selves when the need be.
People are grateful to have learnt t a thing or two from someone else, sometimes it could be learning a business that could elevate ones financial rate, other times it could be attitude the were taught and needed. Timidity is not a good trait to have, it doesn't allow our full expression, we never truly live when we are afraid and living with the fear of the oppressors. Rather than say Shun oppression, or shun bully of which we very much know would be one hard thing to curb, we can try to work on ourselves to at least be bold. Be bold because the timid are the likely prey, they are the ones spotted and overridden.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of peace, love and of a sound mind. A sound mind, a minds that understands the situation and the best response needed to accord it at the time. However it's an habit that can be worked on. Not everyone was born to be stubborn or outspoken, some were gentle and maybe grew up in an environment that took them within their shell, now they've seen the need to not be shaken at the sight of the next human coming their way, they can now stand boldly with the high and mighty and not be overridden. Moreover we all humans alike.
Me, you, the president, the soldiers, the wrestlers, whomever and whatever they claim to be are only humans, no one is above human in the sight of God and so none should be above human in your sight, only discretion is that we thread with caution as there could be others using violence and its only wise we keep silent and let it all be settled, to avoid causalities. However in a normal setting of law and orderliness, we should stand for ourselves, so those around us and subject to us like our kids, elderly parents would know its safe to stay with us. Long story shut, there are no benefits to being timid, therefore increase your boldness today.

Do You Truly Love Me?
It wouldn't be the first time someone has promised to love me and later failed to keep the promise, oh infact I don't expect anything anymore, my mama always say take it easy, when the right one comes around I for sure would know and she would stay. For some reason I strongly believe her,I don't know why but I just do. Normal it would have been if I were to say I don't think anyone is loyal anymore, and judging from the experiences I've seen both personal and not, I can argue that ground for a long time. Yet for some reason I choose to believe that someday someone who would care so deeply and won't just say it, but truly be in love with me would come around.
Vows are gradually losing its savor, should I say it gets worst with each generation. I see pastors on the pulpit at weddings trying so hard to ensure the couples understand the step they are about taking isn't just any step and the vows they are promising are vows meant to be upheld and not broke. However how many still understands the essence after all the sermons, okay even when they completely understand and felt like they can do it, how long can they sustain it. After a compromise, its made to look as if they tried their best but only had to do it. Well if it weren't an option then it can not be considered, probably just maybe they have been nursing it in mind for a long time now.
I'm still wondering if the best question to ask her would be "Do you love me", I don't know if that does it anymore, saying yes to it or saying I love you currently looks so cheap. Yet I know I have to ask and still know for myself, we all need to know, not just to hear, but let the actions bring it more to our notice. Day to day events unfold and brings more clarity to the situations on ground. Oh the joy to know that you're well preferred to anyone else, in a world filled with millions of people, filled with potential candidates to your spouse or partner, yet he or she chooses you over all, that is one joy we all pray for.
Maybe someone can explain the difference between do you like someone but not to the extent of love, maybe now love has been more generalized, but I still take a stand that the word love should be secluded to some special people alone. I very much know the bible mandate, moreover the bible mandated us to work ourselves to loving people as ourselves because it's not the usual lifestyle we have, though it's the lifestyle we needed to grow. So we aren't quick to liking anyone, for some it takes getting to know them more, to some others, we can't just like them, unless we would be lying to ourselves. So when we see those we love, let's ensure to clearly show the difference.
Your parents could decide to love as much people as they like, but you wouldn't like it when they love others just the same way they love you. They are our parents and so we deserve to enjoy the benefits of being their children, we and we alone, not shared, very exclusive to their children alone, so are we wrong, well we are not wrong, it's perfectly normal. Same way, when I love someone and someone loves me back in return, I don't expect to be treated same way as everyone or anyone, I should be top priority, its what we all hope for, being treated preferentially, not just anyone, but more important.
Its not something we want to force however, it's sad that we have to talk about it to our partners in the first place, but its wrong if you treat your partner same way as everyone else, oh its very wrong, no one likes it. All our lives we have been waiting and hoping for that special one to come your way, only for the special one to come and have many other special people, how would you feel, not good I know. The painful thing is the way we are made to feel like we are wicked or insecure when we try demanding what is rightly ours. Let's be open to listen to the observations of our partners, see and try understand where they are coming from, so we can see to change.
Some however would have a different opinion as to what best question should be asked, some would say rather than ask do you love me, try asking "why do you love me? Maybe that would bring more clarity, for some reason I don't know how to explain the reason why I love someone to the person. In my head it has been summed up and concluded and all I know now is I love you, why I do, I don't really know, maybe I would have to think deep about it. It can work though, getting to know why someone loves you, but for someone like me who just summed everything up, my affection, composure, beauty, talent all summed up, I really don't know how to explain it.
So there's really no need lying to me, or trying to fake it, it would all come into the light soon and then comes the hurt, the hurt we have been running away from. So if you don't love me, hey it's fine, its left for me to either look else where or keep fighting for your love, at least I now know your stand in all this. When you think deep on this, you'll see that there is really no need to fake your love for someone, love isn't pity, and no one should love on sentiments, it only brings more disappointment later. Most importantly, when you have that special someone, do well to treat them better than anyone else, do well to love them more than any other person. Your husband, your wife, your kids, your parents, your partner, your bestfriend, all these are very special people to you, they should be first and all else follows up next. Make them feel loved.

Self Inflicted Happiness
It's not everytime we have a reason to be happy, some times there are no reason whatsoever, but then its essential we stay happy, we achieve a lot more with a joyful heart. Self Inflict the happiness till it comes freely. If we look for reasons to be sad we would definitely find a lot of reasons, a lot is going on already, everyone has a fair share of worries they are encountering, but staying sad is bad, sadness has never been allowed us be the best we can be at the moments.
However its hard to see wrong things happen and still be in control of your emotions, "No" I won't let this get to me, quickly you have seeked another option to get you off the sad mood and happy once more, more than we need to be sober, we need to be happy too, moreover being sober as the Bible advises us doesn't mean to sob as people often think, it means to be in the right state of mind and reasoning. For instance those who are intoxicated via strong drinks or drugs are not sober and should quit so they can be sober, that's in their right state of mind.
We too as neighbours, as brothers and sisters, contributes to the raging level of sadness people experience on a daily basis, we don't Care how our words would be accepted by the person we are talking to, worst than that, we don't care how our actions would affect the next Person, we just want to do what we like, making someone sad is never something to be merry about, rather be a source of happiness.
Money has been the largest cause of people's unhappiness, we all hope to accumulate so much wealth and want it fast, and looking around us it feels like we are the only ones left, everyone is buying the cars, building the houses, spending large and so on and we can only wonder if all is well. Talk about the oppression we allow ourselves go through, few were only living their lives and doing what they normally do, but we take offensive thinking they were trying to embarrass us, and this causes a whole new sadness because we don't know how soon we too would become wealthy to revenge, why not try this, learn to choose happiness at all time, start with a smile.
Its no lie, that we often are the reason for our unhappiness, I don't mean because of our past actions now, what's done is done already, but we often open the doors of our hearts wide to let any and everything get to us. We expect that everyone would be nice and loving to us, which is very impossible, even the biggest stars still have lots of haters, oh our Lord Jesus Christ who was the perfect picture of Good was Still hated while he was walking on earth, so you can't expect everyone would just like you, so when you hear some hate speech, just know it happens and let it slide quickly.
The people we love hurts us more and can cause a greater level of sadness, I have written on this previously and how those we love are more capable to hurt us more, however they still are not the key holders of your emotions, you are. Its your emotions, its your choice, its hard to snap off some certain feelings but it's best we learn how to snap out of it, especially when there is a greater work to be done. People tend to not go to work because they have been hurt, some call it emotional trauma, while others can be through same experience and don't feel a thing, just carry on with their normal lives, we understand people are different but it's best we care for our selves and learn to be our best at all times, and this needa us to be happy.
Funny how trivial matters too have lead to a large amount of unhappiness, unimportant issues like your sport team losing a match, a customers response to you, a friendly quarrel and minute issues like this can just get someone off the edges and spoil the mood for the dull day or more, its bad. As a Chelsea fan, well thank God we won the championship league title but if they had lost the final, I wouldn't be so bitter as not to eat or pick up a fight, I'll just be sad for a moment then switch the station to catch me some fun. Life isn't as hard as we often make it seem. Learn to intentionally choose to be happy.
Now that you have learnt to pick happiness rather, don't just stop there, do well be sharing happiness too. We know the importance of being happy, those days we stayed happy, we know how fun our day went, those were the days we did most of the crazy stuffs that we can remember and laugh over today, people too need to know it pays more to be happy and they too should learn to pick happiness fast yet in trying times. However it won't be easy to start but overtime we can learn and act right. Do well to make people happy, you never knows who just needs it as at the time you did it, share happiness too, sharing happiness too makes you happy, being a source of joy and laughter truly gladdens the soul.
So as we step out today and every other day, we are not trying so hard to see how people feel about us or do to us, our hearts are shielded and we only allow what we want get in, so let them live their lives too and say what they like and do what they feel is appropriate, we would still be happy because we choose happiness over sadness any day anytime. Not ending there, we are giving out a share of what we love to give out and that is happiness, make people happy today, I promise the smiles on their faces would being more happiness to you and that we can bring by ourselves. Learn to stay happy, bad things never stops but we would choose happiness every time.

Learn To Be Independent
It comes to a certain time in every ones life that we must strive to be independent, for a lot more reason than we can possibly talk about. It's no rush however, cause situations do arise, there could be a tangible reason why someone needs to hang on a while and prepare better for independence, rather than rush in only to be more frustrated. Also it could also be a favourable situation, not necessarily a bad reason could make one dependent, sometimes the parents have made provisions for the kids and there isn't any reason for them to labour anymore, while some would say they don't care about their parents wealth and want to chase after theirs, its doesn't matter, I mean money is money. Except there is a passion he or she wishes to pursue.
It's a pleasant sight to behold, that the kid who was formerly dependent and receiving from his parents are currently on the other end doing ok and now giving to the parents. This circle shouldn't be altered, I feel it has to be this way, God has programmed it so and we all must work to make it so. It's the first reason why we must work to be independent, because God wants it so. The first circle is we being as kids, totally and I mean totally dependent on our parents or guardians, then the next circle would be we as young youths trying and assisting our Parents, they might not be necessarily old and should still have a lot working for them, so it's a co working situation.
This time is the best time to plan, since you aren't fully taking responsibility for your parents, as well as still young, maybe early married or a young parent for yourself, so it's a time when the expenses are still minimal, because believe me when I say, the latter expenses would be higher, when your parents are not working anymore and are expecting, plus your kids are not spending higher on tuition and other needed and unneeded expenses, plus feeding for many more stomachs, you'll see that the best time to plan is now, no one can say otherwise, the best time to plan is at this stage. So we need this stage, so vital. So we must strive to be independent so we can start working on this stage.
Another reason why we need to seek to be independent, is so we don't loose our minds, If you have your mother with you, you'll know what I'm talking about. Not necessarily she nags or talks to you about it every day, but just that stare at you and you are already judging yourself. Well I guess they all wish for the better, I mean who wouldn't want their kid to be the best kid in the neighborhood, I sure wish for mine. I do imagine the rush to compare, john now has a car, who is doing fine for himself, and they close the speech with "don't worry, yours would come" and sigh, oh the thoughts we have afterwards. One of the best solutions to all this has been to be quite independent for ourselves. Somewhere we can think clearly as well as mingle.
Oh yes, being independent can get you a place of peace, maybe small or simply sharing with a friend, but that privacy, that clarity, that space, it truly does alot to the mind. Like I said, this shouldn't be a rush, but in time it should be considered and worked towards. I've seen articles that tried to make it look nicer so every young man who stays with their parents won't find it offensive, but then I guess we aren't deceiving any one. Apart for circumstances that makes that option the best option, maybe trying to find your footing for the main time, maybe it's the only option as no one is helping, or sickness, but when there is nothing and one still has the capacity, yet still stays with the parents, we wouldn't be helping by saying there's nothing wrong with that. Simply put, plan on your moving out. Try! Then you'll return later to thank me.
Yet another reason we seek to be independent is cause it gives us a sense of ownership, this is nice. Many of us have lived in sharing, your clothes are shared, your shoes, and so on, it's how we grew up especially when you live with your sibling who has almost similar body as you. Remember how you aren't freaked out to buy new things then, it was cause your siblings would probably wear it more than you or spoil it soon. Well being independent affords you the luxury of having what you desire, this way we are true to ourselves and know ourselves more, we explore our deepest thoughts, do as we please and mind you bear the consequences, but we sure would be living the life we want. As well as trying to own as much as we desire.
A young lady I once had this discussion with was concurring as she said it was true, oh Will, it's great we all seek to be independent, the pressure at home is too much, so I had to move out, and I asked are you working, she said no, so where did you move out to? She replied to her boyfriends place, I was stunned. Like you moved out from one place of dependence to another place of dependence, you are not independent, worst still you left the safest place of dependence and went on the riskiest place of dependence, cause anything can happen and you sure aren't married yet. So I tell ladies too ought to be responsibility minded, so many ladies out there are doing marvelously well, it's a pity a few are hoping to earn with their bodies alone.
Being independent profits well, we should only ensure we are going about it rightly. It's never bad if our parents can support us financially when trying to be independent, it's a joint work, the main aim is to stand and stand firm so you can help them much better. Our friends too can come handy in this, more people actually start their independence journey via their friends help. Anyways we aren't just leaving home to go relax somewhere, we are living to go work, and I mean work harder, cause we left home to make home better, we can't afford to fail. And may God help us all. Amen!

Happy November - His Promise Still Stands
Happy New Month everyone, its November already and in a month time we would be in the last month of the year and just shortly afterwards we would be totally done with the year 2021 and have headed on to 2022. There are enough reason to be grateful, grateful to God for his sustainable, like it or not, all this can't possibly be by our powers, but rather by his love and grace alone. Now let's admit the fact that at this time of the year, this 11th month of November, it has everyone looking anxious and hopeful that something better happens, something better that would help our lifes for the better.
Its the 11th month and as you know when you hear the word 11th, it means the end is near, it's the time to speed up the rate of your doings, put more effort, intensify your actions. If it were to be in a soccer pitch, you'll see it as the time where the losing team tends to press more for a goal. Everyone has it at the back of their mind the need for something good to happen before the end of the year. Maybe there are other reason for the pressure, but one sure reason is because we all want to close the year with a good note. We hope to say "yes the year was good at last".
Overtime we have seen that we can't push ourselves past that which we can do. Its not as easy as it seems to get all what we desire before the year end, we can only try but to what extent, at last we have to get on our knees and pray to God. Better if we have always been on our knees praying, best if God is our main source and our actions are secondary, cause our efforts would yield little, only God can multiply it. It's at times like this we see the need to draw near to God, the year is almost ending, we have been trying our best from January till date, yet we still need a long way to go, it's a time to hope, a full hope on God.
It's a time to hang on to his Promise, he has promised us great and mighty things, yes he has and he's still doing it till date. Of course what do we expect, he has it all, it doesn't take anything off God to bless us, so it's best we rest on him. I guess the issue remains that we rely so much on our efforts alone, efforts are needed, that is a fact undisputed, however on God we stands to get better. With efforts alone, we would be prone to frustrations, we would be fatigued and disappointed. However when God is involved in it all, we enjoy it all, he makes it all come easier and better. Indeed it's a time to hang on to the promises of God. The promises he had still stands till date.
One good thing about his promise is the fact that it's not secluded to finances alone, the promise of God to us has always and would continue to care for all aspects of our lifes. Gods love has out marital wellbeing in mind, Gods promise has our family happiness in check, Gods well being has our destiny to fulfillment. Gods lovely promise has our protection and good health also listed for us to enjoy. Gods love has our money in check too, he ensures we are always provided for and that we prosper. Indeed when he was giving his promises to us, he had you and I in mind, he already knew all what we would be needing.
All this is supposed to send calm to our nerves, help us relax the tension. There is a need for everyone to know that God has promised to us already, and he is surely seeing to bless us with it. Not everyone knows how true this is, some might think, how would he bring it to us? How would he know what I need at the moment? Overtime we have seen how he works marvelously, overtime we have seen how he puts smile on people's faces, all because we believe. This promises are all we need to take it to the bank and cash out our joy. The bank are in form of prayers, pray your promises to realization.
In other words, let's talk a deep breathe, a deep breathe off the tension and pressure and take up his promises. Let's pray on the promises with full believe, and I'm so certain no one would regret such actions. However, how many of us knows the promises of God, how many knows the benefits that has been offered to benefit? Surely not everyone knows that which God has freely offered out to us. We need to know this, just as a citizen needs to be fully aware of his or her rights, similarly we need to know God's plans for us. We would see and know about his promises when we read the bible, its all there, take it up today and know what has been offered to you.
So happy new month once again, it's a joy to see all us still on this journey of life, remember its said where there is life there is hope. November has brought with it better for us. So while the real world might be posing as hard and stubborn, we are more relaxed because it has never been by our powers nor strength, but has been God. Yet he keeps assuring us that his promise would never fail us, all he needs is our believe in him. All would be well, and we are sure to laugh at last. This might be the 11th month but all hope isn't lost, however its the month we take more claim on the promises of God. Happy New Month Of November 2021.

Sometimes Silence Is The Best Response
Silence is a response sometimes, in fact its the best response at times. "Often" because there are some times you've got to speak out, as our silence would mean continuity and hindrance to necessary justice, however there are many other occurrences where there's no need to speak out, as silence at that point is the best answer. I know the adage is already singing in your mind "silent is the best answer for a fool", that word was probably coined when you're loosing a heated argument and you can't seem to get the right word to say, well that's not the angle I'm looking at today, because the best way to win an argument is to stand by the truth, that way you can defend it alright, lies are often leading to a dead end, the truth often has its back up leading to a win, sometimes maybe not that day, but be sure truth always prevails.
There are quite a number of people who just love to tease you, deriving joy from showing they are better than you, this category of people don't need your argument to keep shut, so ease the stress of explaining, and work to have result, a clear result would be the best response to their claim, no fights needed, no quarrel, feed them silence and let the pain push you into working harder to get a result.
Everyone can speak for themselves, sometimes its true we are lazy, other times we are not, just luck hasn't yet shone on us, yet in either, be it we truly lazy or not, speaking out for ourselves, trying to defend ourselves against the insults of people would often lead to greater insuts, especially when of course you're speaking to a fool. We need results, that's why we can't keep relenting, so we can raise our heads high in public and be sure to have a nice time as our evidence is enough to speak louder for us.
Its now dependent on how hungry we are seeking for results, the thirst to go back and face all those mockers and have the last laugh, well wishes aren't horses and so we can't just fold hands and which the heavens would place it all on our doorsteps, remember the heavens too would need us to be competent and not just prayerful, so we don't misuse the position given to us. Being competent comes by hardwork, a willingness to learn and improve, so we do our best and leave the rest for God, but are we doing our best?
Remember Rome wasn't built in a day, all the boast of building a big fortress would have been a mere saying should the people not set out to actually work. The journey of a thousand mile starts with a step right, if you keep quarrelling and arguing that you can make a thousand mile journey without really making the step, do you know you'll only keep being insulted and jested at, what we need to do isn't to argue or fight just to stand for our ego, we need results, result would speak louder, but as we await results and their voices of discouragement keeps singing in our ears, we just keep quiet, not concurring nor disagreeing, just silence that clearly say "a little wait from now", then get to work.
However change is always ready to happen, we have seen the unexpected happen, people who has been written off and said to - you can't be great, really working to change that sentence, women who has been told it's a mans world and you can take up those positions, now results of their hardworks are out and they are seated comfortably where they have been formerly rejected, life is full of changes and we all are very subject to change, there's no law anywhere that is prohibiting us from changing the status quo, so we fully knowing this, we can laugh at insults and just keeps quiet, knowing its high time we press hard for a change.
Things would be the way they are until there is a force that pushes it, life would keep giving the outcome of our actions but with a better approach comes a better response to situations. God is the commander however, so we go in prayers and hope all is well and our efforts are crowned with favour. Work and pray, arguing does very little, a better result would silent all adversaries. God help us all.

Nothing Beats Consistency In Business
If consistency was to be a person, it'll be the best business tycoon, nothing beats it, everyone would be coming from far and wide to seek counsel from the hands of consistently, and beat you, consistency wouldn't be ashamed, of course it would surely have a thing or two to help with. There is truly a whole lot we learn overtime, not just to work or have it all working perfectly, there are days and there are days, if you know what I mean, some days would be so nice palatable, other days, not so much, those days you can feel like giving up, however consistency chooses to stay and learn from those times also.
Just as we can't deny the wisdom of the elders, it doesn't matter what you are going through, they can easily relate to it and they know a thing or two to say to you to help out with. Its exactly what consistency does, it makes you grow in the line of business. You must admit with me that life is a continuous learning process, even in businesses, everyday we keep Learning, in fact the learning never stops, however there is more probability that you can understand what's going on or have an idea of what you need to do, when you've been with it for a long time, nothing looks so strange anymore.
It's also has a way of assuring people that you're the best man for the job. Of course it's not by gray hairs, also its not be just working on the job, its about your dedication, I mean your activeness in the business overtime. So some one could be 50 years old but has only been in the business for 7 years, while another can be 30 and has been in this line of business almost all his life, who do you expect to be the king of the business, of course the 30 years old man, he has a whole lot of experience and can very much offer a lot more, than the older man. So business respects no age, what it wants to know is how long have you been consistent with us. How long have you stayed.
No wonder some jobs keeps requiring years of experience, one time I saw a job and it asked for 15 years working experience, and I was stunned, I'm like what do the employers of this particular job need, definitely they don't care for the brilliance of a fresh graduate, definitely they are not bothered about how good you learnt in school, if you haven't been working for that position for as much as 15 years, then you have to seat that one out, better still simply apply for another position. They understand very much that someone with such experience could be working under the firm, but working as though he is independent, cause he knows how best to minimize any risk and expenses, yet provide the best output.
Like I earlier stated, one could be in the line of business but surely isn't growing, growing in knowledge especially. It's one thing to be in business, it's another to be going up the ladder, in consistency, going up the ladder is a needed trait. Just as its said that to whom much is given much is expected, and to whom much has been given and expected, its certain that much must be learnt from the experience, so your level of growth too counts, don't be afraid to grow, keep moving up and gaining more grounds, it helps more, it helps with the confidence, it helps with the expertise, it really helps with your experience in general, you are fully certain you're capable.
As much as possible, one must keep learning, learn today, be ready to learn again tomorrow. Different people respond to new challenges differently though, but it never changes the fact that a new challenge Is like a stepping stone to achieving more. Take a moment back and remember, surely there are times you feel stocked, not knowing what to do next, but currently that issue can never bother you again, now you've seen how easy it is to navigate the problem, you were only ignorant of the solution then. So let's never stop learning, when a new problem arise, we still need to be consistent, with this we are sure to be wiser.
Its never easy to stay and this is a fact, most times we all wish it to always be rosy, especially when you have counterparts, competitions who appear to be doing better, then we begin to question ourselves, am I sure I'm doing it rightly, am I supposed to be here at all? However if we stay, should be not give up and keep on grinding, its certain we would gain more grounds and be in a much better place too. It's mostly perfferd we work on passion or grow to have passion for the job, this way we don't easily get tired, and can still wake up the next day willing to try again. Its not a easy journey, not for anyone, its has never been a easy journey, however those who are consistent are the bosses.
Time and experience brings the respect you deserve, there is a day of reckoning, all we need to do is to keep being faithful to the course, not minding the stress or the discomfort, now we are here, we are going to learn and learn until we know it as though it's at the back of our palms. Nothing beats a man who can stay consistent. He might not feel like it in some days but yet he chooses to stay, he might feel like giving up but he still has hope that the business has a lot more to offer. Surely one day we would be standing with his head high, he would be respected among many. It's one thing consistency is good at, earning you your due respect. Be consistent today in that business guys. You win.

It's A Time Everyone Must Learn About Cryptocurrency
It's the season everyone should know a thing or two about Cryptocurrency, it's gone pass the period to be skeptical about it, now everyone should try getting on it. Overtime this Cryptocurrency has completely changed the lifes of many, so many holds their wealth and financial support to the crypto world, and it keeps the door of opportunity open for all to hop in. You might be missing out of a lot and soon to regret your not taking the opportunity soonest. Anytime you get in is a good time, but do you know how much better you could have earned if you started earlier.
It started while we all have been on and about our daily jobs, we rarely have time to focus on this alone, the people who are working on the crypto space didn't decide easily to rely on it, up until when it has proven to be a market place that can be very profitable and productive. Currently people pay to learn, the futures are always bringing out positive results on a daily. I wouldn't be wrong to say the crypto world has helped bring a lot of people out of poverty on a daily basis. It's a good job to learn, it's a good skill to acquire, crypto is what we all should be serious with.
Imagine we grew up to see crypto already existing, we grew up to hear our parents discuss coins and how a coin is heading to the moon, discussing which to hold and which won't be a good idea, and with our own too eyes saw the effects of this actions, all of this happening while we were still young, I bet by now, we would be nothing short of being called an expert. Cause we must have made mistakes of our own, of which we must have learnt, we must have understood the market structure so in debt, such that our predictions would most likely be positive. But now we have kids who are born into the crypto world, are they even learning?
Imagine the education system inculcate this form of business called Cryptocurrency into learning, wouldn't it be nice. What claim do they have not to include this into the curriculum. Already there are stock markets, if we could study things like stock markets or risk management, or shares then we aren't too far from crypto. We can actually help a lot from seeing the light and taking this more serious. The possibilities are all written clearly with millions of people seen the benefits already, the people are good to go, so what is the draw back. Everyone should understand it's the best trend at the moment and we all should join the train. Learn more on Cryptocurrency.
The governing bodies can only suggest and make restrictions within their confinements, but the can't stop anyone from making the decision to deal with Cryptocurrency as well as they can't stop your crypto wallets. Any who chooses to not join has it all on him, you can't blame the government, nor can you blame any one else. Already some countries has been restricted from crypto dealings, yet the citizens are still making it hugely and enjoying their profits like there's nothing stopping them. If you're not dealing crypto, it's your choice, you have no excuse, no one and nothing should be held as the reason.
Already parents are seeing what's happening and their eyes are becoming more open by the day. Maybe they can't learn it for themselves because they have been well engaged at work or they aren't well educated, I can't say age affects, cause its not a work of labour, so age doesn't affect it, anyways some reasons could make one not engage in it, in all this they have start getting their kids to be enlightened in this aspect, and I must commend them all for such wise decisions. Overtime this kids gets to know so much that they enjoy the best of benefits off the world of crypto and it's all thanks to their partners who saw the light even while they were too young to understand why they are learning it.
It all started off like a dream, everyone has been like what is this, I was just hearing decentralized, I was hearing Bitcoin and I had no clue whatsoever what they were talking about, then I began to hear of how this coins for whatever it was had already started changing the course of life. Few years down the line, it has fast risen and its among the biggest market, having millions of people actively involved in it, and I mean few years down the line, what it took other sectors years to reach, the crypto came and surpasses it, all of this in a few years, bitcoin and the beginning of this Cryptocurrency is as young as a 12 years old boy.
So I repeat, its the season for everyone to see how to dive into the world of crypto, no more criticizing it, no more holding back, now we know better, no more skepticism, its definitely here to stay. The crypto is a life changer, and still has the tendencies and possibilities to effect a change in any and every ones life, only if they seize the opportunity. This we all must know, all of these thoughts began to swim on my head today, shortly after I learnt of a young man who made millions from a good trade and good coin increase. I feel like the world needs to see the importance of cryptocurrencies, the world needs to accept the truth.

Person To Person Interactions
Do you meet different people, do you interact well with them, do you see the need to, the need to talk to someone. The friends and family you have, how often do you talk with them, engage in a useful conversation, see what they have got to offer, you never know. So much benefits rest in a simple communication, we learn every day and so we know what today teaches us, and we can teach another. Most times the difference between you and your goal can be a single information needed, now you've known and can get it done, if you never interacted, then how would you ever know. Humans are social beings, we need to constantly interact and learn new things.
We all need success however we don't know how we are going to be successful, we can only hope and pray we are doing things right, and our day to day actions are enough to earn us the life success we all aim for. However we know we can't achieve this on our own, we need people, the way to success is in various forms but in all, people are needed, we call them helpers, along life journey there are people who are going to be of help to the success we hope for. No man has ever done it alone, and no man will.
So many people who are successful now, think its purely their hardwork, but has never really thought things deep to see that one thing lead to another that in turn lead to the place they are in right now. A friend might not be able to help you, but his other friend might be the connection you need. Your father's and mother's friends are a plus to you too, few of them who are doing well for theirselves can easily be contacted to help out whenever the need arise.
Who taught you what you know presently, that idea or skill you're using to earn presently, someone passed down the knowledge to you, someone has to, ideas don't just form from nowhere, it's your deliberate act to learn from someone that causes the upgrade in knowledge you have currently. Interactions are the ever sure way to success, mingle with people to learn more things, to increase your scope of knowledge and see newer ways to start moving.
There way a man who shared me his story, of how he went from poor to being rich just by associating with the right people, he started off as any normal guy, trying to meet ends meet but knew he needed an upgrade. Already he knew there were many people already enjoying what we was praying and that was to say two things, first that this success is achievable as many people are already swimming on it and secondly there was a way to the success, and if it can be taught, then it can be replicated to work again this time to his favour.
So what he did was to locate them on a neutral ground, and what other neutral ground down a gaming ground, he new such men would hang out to watch soccer, and so he located a joint where he knows they would be coming over frequently to watch soccer and catch fun about it, watching the game is often boring if watching alone or with family, you need your like minds to flow with you on it, that way you can laugh and share the suspense among a group. So he started going to a joint, quite a far distance from his residence, he was going to find the right association to interact with, but people thought he came for the game alone.
Often and often he came and in no time he has become friends with people, who wouldn't love someone who knows how to make the place for and keep them company. What do you do young man was the question that changed it all for him, just one person out of the numerous people coming to watch the match asked the question, they both drank as they gisted, and got to understand more about him and his potentials as well credentials and from then contacted a friend who can assist him with a better job and in less than a month, he was already working and earning good for himself and family. Finding the right association to interact with could be all you need to.
Lucks surely comes at will, we can't be sure where and when, but this we can do is to get a plan for ourselves to follow, we work and walk like we are the one who would make all necessary actions that would earn us a better life, and should luck find us out, it'll be a plus to us then, its always a good time to be surprised with a awesome turn of event. So when planning for oneself, we plan to have as many right connections as possible, interact with the great mind and you too shall be great, show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are, yes the influence really creates a difference.
In school your results can take a new look when you start interacting with the people who knows more, the push to be like them, their style fun which have a reading habit embedded in it would be beneficial to your upgrade. Same at work, for better result or learning a skill set. Interacting with the right person or people is very productive in various spheres of life. We can only do our part to try opening up and enjoy the benefits it would bring. However avoid negative people.
Thanks for reading guys.
Your Response Is What Matters
We are faced with many crazy things day by day, some of which can drive us crazy, some of which can get us happy and excited dependent on what happened. If something bad happens, it's normal that we get so down, that it could affect our day. Then you could see someone flare up at the slightest of things, such insane provocations is being carried out throughout the day and taken out on innocent individuals. Other times it gets us so down that we drop everything we plan on doing, completely changing the mood, so wrong guys, in everything our response matters a lot too. Things must always happen, however how do we respond?
If we don't learn to control our response, then we might not be aware of the full extent at which we are capable of changing the situations around. Just a quick rethink and change of response can be the solution you need. It's ok to feel bad, to feel extra sad, however it doesn't mean we have to respond extra sad, we could be sad but still control our response to it, this way we get a faster solution or merely prevent more things from going bad too. Your response matters, life throw a lot at us, life truly happens, but how we respond to it is what matters more.
I'm someone who believes strongly on positive energy, I believe its necessary we learn to give off a positive energy to the environment, this way we can better expect more positive results to happen to us. Just like a seed planted and harvested, being positively minded is similar to planting positive events ahead. No wonders sometimes we experience the day go good, and we'll be like "today is a good day" multiple things has happened and they all happened pleasantly. Other times, some bad things happens and we are like can the day get any worst.
It's all about how we have responded to nature. Learn to guide your heart, shield it greatly, learn to feel good even amidst bad occurrences, learn to be happy and give a smile even when there is a tears about to pour out. It's all about response. A law in physics says " For every action, there is a reverse or backward reaction and this is so true, it's does not only apply to nature or business matters, it is also very applicable to our lives, so we have to learn to deal with our reactions to the done action. Life gives the action and expect us to give a reaction which becomes another action done, and life has to react and it keeps going back and forth.
The way to win at last is to be calm and calculated. Sometimes we don't go by feelings, not cause we don't feel or we are shy to be expressive, but because we know the feeling we have right now shouldn't be the feeling of the moment, it won't be beneficial at the time, rather there's another way we should feel, so we try to build up the right feelings for the moment, this way we can prepare ourselves better and send the right actions to get yourself happy. There are already thousands of people who practice this meditation process of being positive and giving off positive energy to the environment and it works.
I was outside the house one time and I saw two young men playing the game of dice and I decided to watch, as the game kept moving, I had already seen a winner, I could see that one has already gotten better chance to win than the other who is far behind. The little challenge was that the guy loosing was the most joyful, one would think he is the one losing is the one winning, but no. So he kept playing the game, still positive and full of life, I guess this pressured got the winner, and the tables began to turn, and before we knew It , the loser began to win. Yes he won at last.
It is a major life phenomenon, we must seek to be happy with positive energy, this way we are ready and we are changing things. It may seem unreal but it does really work. Christians are taught quite similarly about this. How never to feel down and frustrated, the only difference is that we Christians are having this positive reactions because we believe in our God watching and changing things, which of course is true, but it also works for many other. So we need to learn to Influence our atmosphere and seize the day of being bad.
Ever since that old time movie, and India movie called 3 idiots. That particular movie shed more light to help my point. Although its become a causal slang to say all is well, however its still more powerful than that, especially when you believe and you keep walking with the believe that all is well. Something bad might just have happened, but we still keeping our day with positive vibes. All is well is what we say and yes we believe it. We work with this believe and we would be more powerful. All would truly be well. Respond how you want the environment to treat you in return. Respond happy, respond rightly.

We Are Walking Wealths
What we have as humans is so much, we can't possibly know all about ourselves, talk less of another. Among the many attributes given to us as humans is the ability for us to get what we desire, no wonder they say"there is nothing we can't achieve if we put our minds to it. We are humans, we are an embodiment of power and surprise, we only to learn on how to take up challenges so that we become stronger and more ready for the task area. We are all we need, especially to get wealth, we ourselves are yet our greatest boost to achieving any feet we aim at.
Do you know that you're money already, you're are a living money, a walking wealth, this is so true, you probably didn't see it this way because of the financial status currently, you might be having doubts but it doesn't stop it from being true. One unique features about humans is that we can create and recreate from scratch or from existing raw materials, so we make what we want. You don't really need money to feed, you need money to feed well, we don't really need money to sleep, no we need money to sleep comfortably, or to be happy, money helps us go get better experiences to make us happier.
This is to say money is not the greatest asset, we humans are, money can't exist without us, but we existed before money, we can still exist without money, as we made money ourselves, in a quest to look for a legal tender that could amount for value, instead of constantly taking our goods or services and exchanging it with another goods or services what we know as trade by bater.
We seek something to help us, so we don't carry that heavy maize or vegetables all the way from our homes to journey far to exchange, rather let's sell the product here, get a lighter object that would amount to the values of the product and easier moveable, so when handed over the recieval is sure there's no problem, as he or she knows with it, they can get what they want easily. This lighter object, this legal tender became money, meant to serve us, it can never overthrown our importance, we are still the most valuable asset ever.
Whatever it is you're looking for is tied to someone and we only need that person so we can get what we want. Did you get that?. Often time we seek money or help of any sort, and we feel we need to find how to get the money as though the money is just laying down somewhere all by itself, well it's quite the opposite, someone owns the money, maybe individuals, maybe its a collective group, an organization or maybe its a governing body, any which it is, be sure they are not ready to freely let it out except for a vivid reason that serves a purpose.
To this above we can see that all we need to do is to proof ourselves as Worthy to be handed that money to, not by pleading on their conscience as begging but rather in offering a solution to what they seek. That why we learn, you skill is almost as good as money it self, just it hasn't yet gone it to fish it out. What you can do is equal to the money you have,, judging based on market value of your seek. We have to look to please people and not just fold in hope that wealth would one day find its way through.
Artificial intelligence are undoubtedly making waves now and its as though man power would yet go slightly unnecessary with time, robot and super computers are so smart that they can do anything in a short space of time and still be energetic, they can take the place of 50 men or more at a go, they do make the work easier but then it chased away numerous workers previously working that corner before the robots took over, well we could say they have to find another job to do or start up something, but its easier said than done knowing that capital is a Paramount need for most start ups especially with the numerous competitions you have to face.
In smarter words, we really don't need money we need people, people owns the money, by needing people it doesn't mean we must try to get as many people as possible subjected under us, so they could be remitting their money to us, no that's not it. We need to see ways to get them to pay us as we satisfy their needs or even mere Wants, its been the law of business, people pay up for what you can do for them that you really can't do for yourself. Any other form of payment would be a Mandatory one, like a levy, tax , due, theft or whatever the name might be. The rest are because we want to.
We are the greatest assets, we are more expensive than the costliest of cars and houses, humans are simply priceless, diamonds and Gold have price tags, we don't, because there is no limit to what we can get or own, anyone can be very wealthy tomorrow even if he doesn't think it can be possible today. The only problem is we ourselves, we degrades ourselves and place ourselves of lesser value than objects, substances that are supposedly subjected to us. So hey you there, you are wealth and more, money can never make you, but you can make money and you will. Amen.

Indeed A Good Name Is Better Than Riches
We live in a world where it seems apart from wealth, nothing else matters anymore. Already we aware that money answers to everything, so why shouldn't the acquisition of money be the best quest that any man should embark on. However growing up we are being told a good name is better than riches of Gold, it sounds sweet to chant it up, but we never truly see it for what it is. What is a good name, what makes a good name, how do we measure up to the standards. A good name is better than silver and gold, others says a good name is better than sacrifice. Indeed a good name is something we must care about then.
What makes this good name? Do I know any who has a good name, or should I say everyone who lives life free of troubles and hate has a good name, moreover they are living a peaceful life, they are not hurting anyone and also no one is hurting them for an exchange. Does it go beyond helping someone, being of great help to another person, I guess if they wanted to describe you afterwards, they would say "that lady or that guy is a good person " isn't it? So could this also be the good name we should be aiming to achieve.
If I would say, I'll say that all these aforementioned are all inclusive, a good name doesn't keep trouble around , a good name isn't one to deliberately hurt his or her neighbors, a good name is one ready to help anyone they can. A good name is one who is faithful to the law, all this and more categorizes a good name, it's a trait not everyone can get. Now they say it's better than money, they taught us that this good name is better than riches and wealth, and there is where the controversy starts. Everyone of us are use to the chant, but as we grow we see more reasons to disclaim that chant.
So I wanted to confirm by comparing the difference between getting a good name and the pursuit for wealth, which should we focus on, especially judging from some main angles of concerns. Angles like background, age, opportunities expose to and so on. So we look into a good name, what it has to offer in comparison with what the other factors like money, wealth, popularity and other quest on the human race. What does a good name offer to us generally that makes it stand out? I'll share a little. Follow through.
Trust
You can get all the money and wealth of the world and still not be trusted, trust doesn't come off from bribery or wealth status, trust comes off from actions done and watched overtime. The more sincere a person is would ensure how trusted he or she gets. Everyone can comes to the kings court to make merry and enjoy themselves. Even they go as far as telling the king he's the most trustworthy king ever, but all that are just for favoritism. They still would trust that normal man who has truly deserve the more trusted slot. The only difference here is that one used money to fool himself thinking he is truly trusted. Whereas the other has shown and proven he's trusted without a penny.
This also is very applicable to life. So many feel they don't have any issues and all would be alright once they get money, like money automatically makes one the best human. Truly everyone needs help from a rich person, but not everyone would want to stay a rich man who has a bad attitude, especially those who cannot be trusted. We want them to help, we want money, but do we kill ourselves because of that? There is a limit to how a person is and everyone would say "you know what, keep your money, I don't need it" but with that good man trying to be a good man, you feel more comfortable and relax to follow, which of course would benefit the man too.
Legacy
A good name is a great legacy laid down, good people have rewards, it's a sure benefits of being good, as surely as the law of seed time and harvest continues, the law of how you lay your bed continues, similarly we staying and being good has a loads of benefits ready for us to enjoy and surely we would enjoy it. So being good is a great laid down lifestyle for others to follow. Money can be given, money can be earned, wealth can be transferred even without we deserving it, but a good name is a choice, for whatever reason we choose to stay good and it stays that way. Surely the benefits would surface and be evident, so others can learn and emulate.
A good name is bette than sacrifice, so many great men and women have done remarkable things here on earth even without having a dime or having very little, however some soon got riches as a benefit of a job well done. That not withstanding choose to stay good. Moreover we have a good father, Jesus came and got a good name, our mothers, fathers, teachers, are all teaching us on how to live a good life and keep a good name. I need you to stay good, today, stay good tomorrow, start this walk, staying good is good.

Different Routes, Same Destination
We all have our different goal in life, growing up whenever we did the career day, I notice how we had different professions in mind, even while we were so young, still we aimed at different things, well I said maybe the choice isn't for everyone, but family, family should be together all pushing and following same routes, again I found out otherwise, we all still had different goals in mind, even some of our goals distaste another, they'll be like what the heck, come on go for something more lucrative, however its still our choice. Then I said maybe it's by faces, then I went over to the identical twins, they've got similar faces isn't it.
Nothing changed guys, they still had different aim in mind, so its not by generation, neither is it by blood, its just nature, we have different faces and so we have different goals and aims, but little do we find out we only aim at same destination. Two destination everyone aims for, regardless of your age, background, or whatever its just a place we have to get to. Subconsciousness and unknowing we all aim to this places, and we aren't wrong, it's the right destination and we all want to get there someday, or should I say we all pray to get there someday.
There are two destinations I'll like to discuss on today, first would be our destination here on earth and our destination, after earth, but are important destination. These destinations has a way they shape and transform our pursuit, many have changed their plans just to conform to the destination, others don't see the destination so important but carry on anyways, however they are still headed to the destination whether they like it or not. So what are these two destinations I'm referring to. First the destination here on earth, and limited to here alone. Success.
Success.
As simple as it sounds its not a simple subject matter, success is the reason why everyone is outside at the moment, oh it's the reason why you're here typing now, maybe passion, but hey more for the success aspect, you never know what article could bring your next meal, or boom take you off the hustle of life. Success is the reason why many girls won't marry the man of their dreams, is he successful. Success is the reason why you dance so well but had left that passion to become a nurse. Yeah money, its not just money its success. Money is a tool to bring success, but money doesn't do it alone. There are many other success money won't bring.
Success is the reason why we work twice as had, why we train our kids so much to learn from us. Someday they would carry on the success. Success is the reason we are in a competition with others on our field. Its not just our ego being fed, its not just popularity, it's not just money, its success. We want to be called successful. It's the aim of everyone living, it's one reason you rise up to the bells of the alarm and say to yourself, I've got to get going, yeah I'm tired but Its is what it is. It's the reason why we were sent here to be successful however, so we have to keep growing as earlier written on my previous article. We all want to be successful.
Heaven
Heaven is the goal right, many may question the fact that not everyone wishes to make it to heaven, and I really don't know how to make you see that everyone does. You should know, everyone knows there is something else other and after living, like life can't just possibly end all of a sudden, so we die and that's it, no more drama, no more seeing each other, blank and nothing, no remembering, no rewards, no nothing, come on it can't possibly be true, it just makes no sense that there isn't a after life. There have got to be a reason for all this, and by each passing day we see more and more clarity of this fact.
Already existing are mediums, mediums that commune with powers outside the world. Don't get scared it doesn't necessarily have to be evil, your pastor is a medium, your Iman or any of your religious leader, I guess they pray to God and talk to me, so they are mediums, intact the original plan of God is for everyone to become a medium, that can talk to him directly without having to need someone with a more spiritual level. Overtime, this medium have shown and talked with the dead, without knowing the dead they would tell and describe what happened and you'll see that they speaking the truth, no lies, they are very correct.
So this shows us that the dead are not gone, so what's the plan, what are they waiting for, would there be a time they are waiting for or what. There indeed is more to life and it's a destination we ought to carefully fight for. Heaven, have it in mind, its the best option. Even those who doesn't believe in any of this claims would sometimes say, at least I hope to be in the best place should it be real. Funny how we now think hell to be comfy, well it isn't that bad, well you're right, it isn't that bad, its worst. There's no amount of how we can read about it that can give us the full feel of it's TRUE horror. That's the destination for all. Heaven, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, or accept it or not, we are all going there.
These two destination are what we live for, it's what shapes our current existence, success and heaven, in fact the best success any could have is the achieve the second destination which is heaven, cause by far and most importantly, it's the main reason and final destination for you and i.

Let's Grow
Its not enough to live, we need to grow, I mean constantly growing, being better than before, upgrading levels. Last time we were here, this time we are there and there is a much better placement than here. So you see the need to constantly push ourselves, what can I do to take me better. Its the law the world operates in, that why we are certain of a new invention sooner or later, people are constantly striving for better, better than now, and among this few there would be fewer who would reach that supernatural mark and surprise the world. Even in our individual lives we can reach that high mark, that high mark we never thought possible, all for growth, come on Let's grow.
If at this stage of life, after all we have seen and experience, should we still be thinking of quitting, then I guess we haven't yet known the essence of growing. Same way we started off young and were thought basic things, like eating, the A,b,c,d and all we learnt growing up, you'd notice that this was hard when we first began but as we kept growing it became easier, now we can teach them to the younger generation with ease, and we understand that it's hard for them to comprehend now, but with good tutoring, they surely would. Same with life challenges, the ones we faced previously was for a reason.
I know we are tired of hearing, its just a test, it's a phase and would elapse, but its the truth, so many challenges we have overcame and here you are now stronger, should you be faced with similar problem you'll be more relaxed than you were the first time and should you see someone going through a similar phase, you can assist by being a motivator, making the burden lighter, it's good help, a help when needed.
However it'll be rather unpleasant should we be growing in age and not be growing with our mind capacity, that's the essence, a kid might go crazy if grounded by parents, its almost like the world is going to end, you can't see your friends and they can't meet you till you serves the punishment duration, however as a grown adult, we are the one locking ourselves inside for a while, we sometimes don't want to see anyone for some needed reasons and we are fine, the corona virus pandemic got more panics from the young, not because they are scared but because they are missing out of fun, the adults however don't really have an issue, in fact we want to stay safe, but money for keep up was the concern, you see as we grow we grow pass certain issues.
Every one has his or her people of influence, like it or not there are people who are going to be influenced by you, and these people need you to grow, they need you to overcome the challenges you're passing through currently and grow so you in turn can put them through theirs when the time arrive. Among the many people who should make you actively push to be self motivated and a goal getter are your kids, of which if you are not there for them, who is a better person to be, so everything we learn is an added advantage to them, every experience and battles are stories to help them in their time, we came first to shine the flashlight so they can walk easier than we walked.
However not just your kid, the unknown watchers are often more than the known watchers, you can never feel to useless that someone doesn't notice you, your story is a manual someone is going to needing soon, so try to make your manual profer solutions. It'll be like, do you remember that Jake also experienced similar, he did this and did that, and that's how he maneuvered, you should try the same, see already, there's a beneficiary of your exploits. Some have gone to write books after recognizing the fact that people would be needing the knowledge they have acquired overtime as well as the challenges they have been faced with and have overcame.
Different people have different tolerant capacity, that challenge that you can easily deal with is what might make another person consider killing him or herself, suicide cases have occurred for various reasons some of which have happened to other people but they just waved it out, so with different people comes different approach to situations. However it'll be a lighter burden for all, when they can get someone who was faced with similar and overcame, be it they get to see person to person or simply reading about the person, or being told the person's ordeal, any means can ease the burden, just to let them know they are never alone.
Next time when trouble comes don't for a minute think you are the only person of concern, its selfish to think you need to win for yourself alone, moreover you're the only one facing the troubles right, Well you might be the only one Waring against the hurdles but there are thousands of people who really needs you to win so you can show them a way out. So you can clear the path and shine the light for others to walk through, and be forever grateful to you. Someone too is going to help you too remember, some have already helped you, few among those are your parents who catered, the person or people who created the job you're earning from, those few people who have been remarkable helpful to your life, and of course the world's greatest gift Jesus Christ. You too need to grow for others. So stay self motivated.

Never Underestimate The Power Of Mood
Moods should be held responsible for most of the worlds craziest actions ever recorded. Most of us today are in one way or the other paying the price for what our mood has cost us already. I for example, should have written an article since last night, but I was looking for an inspiration, I could hardly bring myself to mood, cause I learnt to write in mood rather than just right without any connections to the topic whatsoever, this way I connect and knows my readers too can connect. So mood it is. What are you eating today, can you cook what you really don't feel like eating, well except you stay in a place where you don't want to have a say. Our moods leads us to crazy stuffs too, we know its wrong but we just want to do it anyways.
I just want to drive around down in full speed today, where are my car keys. I just want to spend the night with you today, please, please say yes. I'll leave the dishes for now, I'm not in a mood to do any cleaning whatsoever. Let's go spend to cash on the bar, hey everyone the Bills on me. I'm not in the mood to talk about it now, goodnight. So many decisions we take based on the mood we feel, and we don't think deep about it, it's just a mood, we would snap out of it soon. Eventually, some actions taken via moods haven't been so lenient with the doer as its still hunting them down till date.
I can remember one night, shortly after my birthday, I and my guys had gone to a bar to drink and hangout, it was so much fun and we were all enjoying the moment, soon it was due time to get home, oh it was almost 11pm, the roads were getting empty, guys let's head home, so we agreed and ordered a cab to take us home, still happy and joyful as we were riding home. The mood was still lit, you could feel the excitement strong. When suddenly one of my friend said, oh I don't want to go home, let's head to the club, I was on the front seat and was only laughing. The other 2 of my friends suddenly concurred, they were all excited, I too was excited, I wanted to live in the moment.
So we got there, had the time of our lives, we so misbehaved and were so careless, it was the mood we were in and we were loving it. Infact can be night go slowly, I want to feel every bit of the moment. Suddenly alcohols gets in the mix added to the mood to make matters worst. I was not intoxicated though, but I sure was lost in the mood too. Not long then we heard a shout between the guards and my friend, it was getting to a heated situation, and we had to rush down, apparently they had to close up that early as 3 am, we had come from far, where do we go, damn we can't paying for an hotel. The manager came and couldn't help matters. Before I could blink, it was an all out fight. I could now see the so called mood enjoying the show.
The Personality of mood was obviously seated there with his legs crossed, enjoying every bit of the show, and there I was trying to settle the fight against my angry friends and those angry club guards, still scared that no one pierces me with a bottle, soon we were pushed out of the club and our moods were swing all at once. It was though we should all get a gun, not just a gun but an Ak 47, we would surely annihilate some people that day, we were so furious in fact, and I stayed there trying to calm my guys down as they went on and on banging on the door and shouting through the night. A crazy night it turned out to be. It was unplanned and so we should have just gone home after the first outing that was planned.
So many people have gone far in the mood, the door gets shut at them and they can't escape it anymore. For example, a certain man got so excited and was in the mood to sleep with a girl, any girl infact, that's what he wants at the moment. Well he couldn't go to the brothel maybe to preserve his image and had to settle for the next free girl he can find and that was his maid. The maid was obviously someone who was into her boss, she wouldn't want to miss such opportunity as he could take care of her for a start. Now the man can't say he knows this girl maid, who she is, if she's a good person or not, all he knows is that he wants to sleep with a girl tonight, his mood for the night.
Fast forward till date, the young man is divorced from his wife, she left with the kids. He has spent the maid packing soon after finding out she lied about being pregnant for him and was only pregnant for her boyfriend. She had attempted to kill him but was rescued just in time. His life was turned upside now, and it all started from the mood, a mood allowed to dominate. I'm sure when the mood locks someone in, it then seat down majestically and enjoys the show. Its mood, it's not a must to go by it, it's a mood that can snap away any moment, don't kill yourself trying to achieve it. Think it through, it's not an easy fight, but think it through before giving in.
Never trust yourself so well that you think you can't be overpowered by your mood. Especially when you have all the resources needed to achieve the mood comfortably, I doubt it'll be an easy fight. I have seen some friends run back to a toxic lover because they felt the sudden mood to call and hear their voice again. I'm like all week long, you've been fine, just this one moment you feel like loving back, probably after seeing a romantic movie or song, you're concluding your life over a minute mood. Shortly after they are angry with their decision and finding a way to break up again. Get a grip of yourself, don't act on mood, act cause you've thought it through.
It's not an easy fight, we all know. Sometimes the mood gets to urges and your blood is pumping like you'll die if you disobey, but hey no one has died from disobeying. Remember those times you're grateful you didn't do it after seeing what the result would have been. Moods comes and moods go, but you'll stay and you'll bear the consequences for your actions so be careful and think it through. There are positive moods no doubt, some moods would better profit you, think it through also, then you can act on it. Like now I got in the mood to write and I know it'll profit me, so I write. Now I'm done writing and I'm happy I wrote. Choose the right mood to obey guys. Moods are powerful, don't ever underestimate it.

We Are The Guardians Of Nature
I have no doubt God has to be the most creative personality ever, just take a look at how much of a beauty has been made off nature, from the high mountains to the low valleys, to the terrifying calm of the ocean, to the frightening blast of fires. The plain fields of green grass are a delight to walk along, the lakes are a revitalization to the soul, to pour out our inner heat. Never forget the skies, the clouds appears so intriguing, I could spend hours looking at the clouds trying to understand the diagrams its giving to us today. How about all its inhabitants, from the insects, to creeping creatures, to the beastly animals up to humans. All well created, all and everything perfect the way they are.
When I read up on the creation story, especially the part when it says "And it was good", indeed I can see for myself that it was good, oh great infact. I can only wonder what masterpiece our creator has made, what inspiration could all this have possibly come from. If I choose to study deep on nature and its amazement, I bet I would keep on meeting and observing something new things each time, there are always something new to note, as little as something not previously taken note of but now catching your fancy, or something totally new to you as though they just came out of hiding. Nature is truly amazing, it my one validity to know there is indeed a higher power making it all.
They were all made once and made so they can reproduce theirselves, our creator doesn't create new nature or animals every day, but has made it self reproducing, however has placed human as the guardian to ensure it's all working properly. This is why we must care for nature as it's not only our environment, it's also our task. Stepping outside to see the best producers yet again, can never get enough. Nature is the best producer, it has it all, any and everything you see today has it originations from nature, without taking a source off nature I wonder what we can get.
The foods, furnitures, lights, waters, natural deposits, all things coming from the simple creation of God, then by amazing knowledge the naturally existing substances are transformed into mind blowing inventions, who could have wondered that the waves of waters or the biowaste products should be converted into electricity that would be very important to human lives as it is always in use. Sometimes I wonder how people can phantom of deriving somethings from other things, but more amazing is the God who place all resource down knowing fully well they would be enough to transformed the natural looks of the world, and satisfy our needs.
We must continue to strive to preserve as many historical landmark and wildlife as possible, our quest to transform our world is never to extinct what we came to see, rather to preserve, already with the rate of human activity already going on, its likely that the few generations coming would have little or nothing to see, maybe our stories or documentary would be the only source to viewing it all, but with a deliberate action to conserve and preserve, especially with useful help from the government.
Remember the dinosaurs, how amazing it was to read on them, and to see their amazing figure and frightened nature, we could only wish we can see them upclose, so strong, many believe its just a myth and they never really existed, but archeological diggings how seen remains that can be traced back to the dead long dinosaurs, and as we continue to go, more and more people would keep thinking it was only a fairy tale, before it completely leaves the minds of people that such things ever existed.
How much more of our God given deposits would go extinct before we realize that each generations has the sole mandate to preserve and contain our Natures habitats, not just the animals alone, plants too. The lesser the usefulness as a plant, the lesser we are likely to preserve it, and might likely go extinct, I only wonder how many undiscovered plants we still have in the world today.
These plants have made a lot of help to our medical world, the herbal benefits are enormous, most deadly disease and sickness are having their cure sprouting up and residing in a plant, once located and extracted, that's the end to such menace caused by the illment. To this reason too we should preserve our plants consciously, so we don't find out that the plant having the phytochemical component to fight a terrible illment once existed but now its no where to be found, lets preserve both the plants and the animals alike.
Talk also about culture, our way of lives growing up, those unique family trait, are we still actively carrying on the legacy, or has education and civilization stolen it all away. So many cultural heritage long ago, but how many of them today can we find. Now its the usual Christmas, new year and Easter festivities, oh and the everyday mothers day and once father's day, apart from this few we are just having a usual time. Though some culture are rather inconsiderate and so it needs some restructuring, however not a complete annihilation, the forefathers deserve to know their works are still being appreciated.
Nature is truly amazing, God being the creator of it all is undoubtedly the most creative and most brilliant, take a look at yourself and what you can do, aren't you just spectacular. All he made was good, the fishes, the birds, land animals, plants, the thrilling forests, all just in line to beautify our world as well as attend to our needs. Conservation is very important to us and we must teach the importance of it also to the coming generation.

Reunions Isn't The End Of Life
Whenever we reunite with people from our past, we see the excitement, the hugs, the laughter, everyone so look happy to see each, hey look how you've grown, wow you look really nice, everyone is acting all nice and charitable. Well it's only going to last a few hours at most, so why not just be nice and smiling even when your enemy comes around, or you're being teased, we want to let it slide. We have spent so much already in planning for this reunion, it just shouldn't go bad. We have gone the extra no doubt, so when we meet it won't seem as though the lord is not good to me alone., infact we want to stand out.
The concept of a planned reunion Is good, in fact great but over the years, we have seen reunions cause so much negative effects than positive. Does that mean we should scrap away the idea of reunion, no we shouldn't, the benefit of reconnecting with the people you were once connected to is just superb, everyone were in a closed space formerly, before life happened and you were all dispersed, everyone doing what they can do to be better than their former self. So there is no way you meet someone after a long while and there is nothing to learn or gain from them, almost impossible I must say.
This reunion has changed a lot of people's life for real, seeing that old class mate of yours after a while, now discovered that he or she owns or is a vital role player in a firm you are aspiring to be in, its almost a done deal that he or she is determined to walk you through the process, or simply help you for old time sake, just with that encounter your life is gradually changing. Meeting up with that old time friend, who is wealthy and has promised to help you with whatever you need to make that bold move you've been saving up for. You see all this among others, clearly shown that reunions are great ideas.
However today, what do we see happening around all in the name of reunion. Its almost like our lives is being tested. We want to meet up to standard and blow everyone's mind who we are meeting that day. Well this is not really bad, but it's so unnecessary, For some, things might not be going so well, yet they try so hard to hide it that day, if it entails them borrowing everything just to hide the shame, they would, but I hope they have a plan to gaining better that day. Maybe it's their approach to be able to mingle better with a better looking apperance. I'm no judge, all I can say is there is a lot to gain from meeting friends and longtime family.
Help comes from here too, as normal as help comes from interacting with others, moreover humans are social beings, but this people from our reunion holds a softer spot for us and they can help you more probably than any other else. So let's be open for helping , open your heart and be helped and to help too. As much as we can be selfish, we want to be helped, we must look out for those who we can help also, nothing is too small, no one is too great, help someone rise today, help your old time pal or family. You too can be helped, be open for it.
So be humble, reunion don't last long, they can only stay a while, so seize the moment and keep a better stronger relationship with them, if at all, you never know who you'll be needing tomorrow. Humans are social beings and so connect guys. Calls are good, a facetime is great yet can not be compared to a personal meeting with the person. When we call, the reciever can decide not to pick up, same goes with facetime, and give excuse later. But with the personal meeting a lot can be done, you're seeing the person in real life, the reunion has serve its purpose , plus it offers another opportunity to create a nice impression.
It's sad so many people have lost the true meaning of a reunion and turned it into a competition. It's a reunion, meaning it's a meeting with people from your past. Past meaning this individual have been there when things weren't all rosy. If they didn't laugh and judge you in time past, then they still wouldn't, even if they do, what do you care, all would be well. So reunion isn't a time to prove any point to anyone, it isn't a time to go into debt because you're trying to keep up with appearances, be true and real to yourself, reunions were meant for fun and help. Have fun and seek a better life from this mingle.
Like I have earlier said, a lot of people have been positive helped from just a reunion, while many others are in debt or simply not helped because they went trying to show off and be life of the day. That's why I said reunion are not the end, if you don't have your aspirations yet and another have it, then try to reunite and ask for help. Be it your high school reunion, your university reunion, club reunion, whatever it is that brought you together with some people, try to connect, you just never know. Reunions are not the end of the world, so take it easy. What reunion are you planning now, are you eager to see them too and hear their stories. #Reunite.

No Other Option But God
The lifestyle we choose to live by, where all options point to one singular place, full trust in God. Happy Sunday guys. Easier said than done right? Its never truly easy and he too know we wouldn't agree to such terms, to give him full control. Moreover he gave us the choice of free will, why then if he wants us to allow him gain full access then why give us ownership in the first place. Well we must choose to, that makes it our call and deserving of the reward thereafter.
How would you feel when you're living a life that's totally not in your control, a life in which you're just like a dummy, someone says go and quickly you see yourself going, someone says jump and involuntary you see yourself jumping, how would you feel, happy? Although we know he knows best yet it is certain that we would not be happy, we all want to do what pleases us, what we love to do and not being controlled, yet our eyes are to short to see the things beyond, our wisdom is to shallow to seize a win in the trails of life. We know we need God.
Overtime, trails and circumstances has eaten deep into us and we sort for a way out, and then we go running to a higher power, although some resort to a lesser power compared to God, others in magic and witchcraft but many others run to their creator, in a quest to stay right and conscience clear we run and look for God.
When it get hard, here we are again seeking God's help and the he always helps and not just that he has told us to let him in, with him a victory is secured forever, as soon as we hear this, we say no no no... Its my life and I will do as I please, I'll serve you lord but you can't always dictate for me, sometimes I will do what I want to do even when you tell me otherwise. So when you're about going out to commit that bad thing, not really evil just not good and you know God is kicking against it but you crave for it, what do you choose to do, go with your fleshy desires or succumb to God, well we go with our selfish desires of course, God can wait right or God would understand right. Hahaha.
Often time we just have to be grateful that God is not a man, imagine yourself as a wealthy man, and a particular person is always coming to you for help, now you always help but then you keep advising him to leave his place and come under your roof that way you can supervise and nuture thereby giving him that life he keeps desiring, yet he refuse, he doesn't want to be under your supervision, he just want you to continue feeding and giving him anytime he ask, would you as a man keep giving?
I'm quite sure no matter how kind we are, there would come a certain day we would just toughen up and say, OK enough is enough, if you won't listen to me and keep doing the opposite, then you shouldn't be getting off me right. But here is our God still loving regardless, in fact still coming to us first, like a man who is crazily in love over a girl, but we I guess truly as the bride are putting in a hard show, remember apostle paul said, we love him because he first loved us. His love for us is immeasurable, thereby we can be rest assured he would take care of us.
He categorically said, "I know the thought I have towards you, thoughts of Good and not of evil to give you an expected end, God plans are way better than ours, we can only see as far as our realistic minds can project, its God who places the unbelievable in our hearts and executes it and of course it happens. He is not going to kill us because we are surrendering to him quite the opposite he is going to give us life, a better life in fact.
There is more to now, he knows our time here are limited and we are just bothered unnecessarily, we care so much about now that we forgo the main place, a place where we can live forever, we all want to live for now and go to the extent of sacrificing our forever for now, how long can we stay here, 100 years maybe, 200 tops but we don't mind about a place were we are staying forever. Remember forever isn't 1000 years not 1 billion years it's way more than that in fact it's beyond time.
However, he cares about our here too, he wants us to have the best time and and after here, he is very capable of doing this and yes he would, let's give God the control. Happy Sunday.

Just Keep Living
I guess I owe this article to a awesome read I just had from @Itsfarah latest article which he titled "Life is very precious" he deeply talked about the essence of living. We never truly know how blessed we are to be alive and going much until there is a sort of unusual encounter or situation that brings back our consciousness. Maybe owing to the popular proverb that says you never know the use of something until we loose it. We can not afford to loose our lives first before we see how preciously blessed we are, and lucky to have new days everyday, depicting that there is hope, and change can still happen.
No doubt so many have die and should be regretting why they had to end their lives so short all because of a feeling they had. Like I do say "what's the worst that can happen? If the circumstances are too bad then it probably wants to steal every bit of joy in you, that is painful but the sad event truly wins only and only when you give up totally. Bad things do happen no doubt, all to frustrate someone and get them tired of living, but if you don't give up then it's not game over, instead you're playing the game and someday you can win.
So hang on, regardless of anything, regardless of any matter of concern, you must keep living and living, in hope and joy. All would be well, situations do change, opportunities do rise out of the blue. No one can tell what the next minute holds, so why not stay. Stay, hang in there, don't give up the fight. If its life threatening, the fight till it's the last breathe. And this is for sure, God honors faith, he sees those who are not shaken and kept the faith even in the worst of times and he would always come through.
No matter what we are going through or have gone through, the honest truth remains that there is someone else out there, that is going through worst. Infact when you hear of their story, you'll have to forget yours and just be grateful. So many have been through worst and today are happy. That same issue that made someone kill his or herself, is the same issue that someone else experienced and overcame, today they are happy with thei decision. How bad can life get that it removes all values of life, no come on, keep living regardless.
It's more reason why I want and hope everyone can know their God and stand firm with him. It's so natural that we go through phases, and when you come outside and see everyone else smiling and laughing, you'll think you're the only one who is experiencing something bad, and feeling like you're the most hated person by God, but that is so untrue. Infact he is never intending anyone suffer, he's never folding his hands to a cry for help. He is a father, oh the best father in fact, not one that can be compared to our earthly father, he is way more loving than any other father, he comes true, but then stay in hope.
How angry can one get that one gets angry with life, how hurt can one get that he feels like the world hates him and doesn't need him no more. Sometimes I wonder how crazy our thoughts can get, and as we keep pondering on it, we keep seeing reasons to believe it until its fully accepted and lead to depression. Up until someone comes up to help us count our blessings, then we would say OH!!!!. Know how cunning the negative thoughts can be, they can be true events but they are only little but lousy. The lousiness of our negative thoughts makes us feel as though nothing good has happened.
So when it feels like there are no reasons to continue being joyful, like there are no reasons to keep staying happy, like there are no reasons to stay alive, cause the bad events are screaming in your head, then try to count the good things intentionally. Yes, intentionally, cause we might not feel like it, but for sanity to be restored we've got to count and see how awesomely blessed we have been. It's just like what happens naturally between people, all the good you've been doing might go extinct to them, the day you do one bad. Until they get reminded of how you have come through. So remind yourself intentionally and see how the happiness finds it's way back into your life.
Life should be enjoyed, worst of it all is the fact that we all die someday. So why force it before the appointment time. If its same earthly end road for every single human, then why shift yours forward cause you're sad. Say no to killing yourself either internally or suicide, there are no benefits to it. Rather we laugh at the hard times when we awake to a new day and we see possibilities to the day. Everything may not be fine now, but surely as God seats on his throne and his a father to us, Change is just around the corner. Keep the faith guys. Keep Living Regardless.

Lies We Tell To Save
We do this most of the times, and we do it out of a selfless spirit, we don't want someone to get hurt, oh how would they take the news, it feel so threatening when we think of their response to the truth, wouldn't she flare up, wouldn't he get more frustrated, would they beat me up so bad. They so are not ready for the truth, maybe later I'll find a way to bring it clean to them, I'll find the right timing to let it out, a time I'm sure would be best and have minimal negative effect. Well, if only we truly get that perfect timing, cause each passing day might just create more and more reasons to sink deeper in the lie.
Surely the truth surfaces sooner or later, sometimes it comes out from us when we feel like it's time to say it out, and actually it could be a smart move you withdrawing it from them till that time. Otter times it could be the wrongest decision you've ever made, the way the truth would overtake you, running ahead to get to them, thereby painting you in the way you never intended it to be. Oh I was only trying to protect you and all that might not matter again, cause you lied to me, when did you intend on letting me know, or would you ever let me know?, I'm so disappointed at you. And there you're startled, like how did I get here.
There is no way to fully ascertain and say here it is, this is the right time to let someone know this or not, or to say never ever withhold the truth from someone even for awhile, as it might be the best option at the moment. The best thing I guess is to find more about how receptive the person would be and try to let the truth out in the best possible time. That first day might not be idle when you get to find out about the person especially for more sensitive issues, and sometimes you'll realize it's best to just say it now and get it over with.
Moreover it's not easy on us either, trying to conceal matters we know are important, just to secure someone or something else, sometimes it's best that we let it off our chest cause its killing us inside. As much as possible we want to be right but then we still want to be nice, and this isn't best of friends most of the time. Being right is doing the right thing regardless of its effect and who gets hurt, and being nice is trying to care for others feeling so much that we can take the burden upon ourselves, well until it really hurts us so bad. Being nice has often not be as rewarding as we thought it'll be.
The society too wouldn't strive better with nice guys here and there, for justice to prevail we need people to be right, right at all times, you do something bad or you see something bad, the right thing to do is to correct it, maybe by reporting to the needed authorities even if it means reporting yourself, moreover thank God there is a lighter sentence when the culprit comes clean. The harder part could be to cover up for someone else, where the nice guy comes in. Someone somewhere may be more affected than you think and the world is waiting for you to say the truth.
So to this I say we do the right thing, that is to say the truth, maybe, just maybe find the perfect timing for it, but please at the shortest possible time. Sooner or later the truth comes, it would offer them earlier time to heal. We concealing the matter might just be postponing the hurt and the hate to a future day, a day that would surely come, and we would still deal with it. Still without a doubt, it could be best to hold it a while especially when such person has been through a lot already, but still at the shortest right time, cause they would still deal with it, like it or not.
Most times we told lies to save a marriage or relationship, before we know it, that marriage is still in chaos, the truth finds it's way. Other times we tell lies to cover for a friend, maybe for trust or so but only end up being dragged alongside the mess. Sometimes we tell lies to help someone who was already hurting feel better at the moment and I still can't say if that it good or bad, cause it can really save the moment, but how about when the truth finally comes, wouldn't you be opening the wounds fresher and more painful than it already was. Time heal, so the truth should be said so that time can start its work on it.
The earlier the better, time is a doctor like no other, it can help us get over the deepest of emotions. Time can heal the most painful of situations, it might seem as though the truth would be so painful, but what is really happening is that we have taken the person to the doctor earlier, so the doctor can start its treatment as soon as possible. Time is the doctor, the truth is the call for the doctor to come. Say the truth today, time would do the rest. Just try to stay and live rightly, not necessarily nicely.

Even Strong Men Break Too
Its not enough to see the bold faces and hard body built and feel they are impenetrable, no one is impenetrable. Even the strongest of men can get broken by situations that's gone past their control. We need to constantly pay attention to everyone who matters to us, because we can't possibly pay attention to everyone else, so we pay attention to those who are within our reach. No minding how they look or who they are, or how they appear, looks aren't emotions, looks are way different from emotions and emotions can make one break or excited.
Many have seen their sons and husband go through emotional trauma and all they said was "you're a man, deal with it as a man", as though therapy comes automatically as a man, as though God inputted a strong impenetrable gene in all men, so that things dont get to us. As much as this is wrong, its currently the stereotype of people's thought currently. Growing up with this school of thought has made many sink in the feelings within themselves, feelings so toxic to the body and should be left out are being sunk in till we can bear no more.
Pour it out, its paramount we know how to really care for ourselves, I don't mean the actual doctors syringe and prescribed drugs, I mean the actual care for our heart. No only are sickness caused from external organism, it can very much be caused from the inside, emotions too can give way to the craziest of sickness and to this men are not excluded, even the strong men are not immune to it. Checking the rate of high BP and it's high increasing effect on men, you could feel its should be from the excessive salt intake or cholesterol, but then when the doctor asks what have you been thinking about, you'll know there's more to it.
A man really can break down, and it should be accepted in the society, the environment should recognize this fact and make it a norm, this way it could seek ways out to proffer likely solutions. Likely solutions and likely preventions to prevent it from hurting so deep. Some days they are so deep in debt that they are in a verge of being humiliated or embarrassed and all we can do for them is to expect them to find a way out of the mood themselves, without knowing what is really going on, even when we know sometimes, we'd still want them to be fine and be a man. Other times they might have been heart broken from a relationship and still not allowed to cry out the feelings, expecting that they just get off it with a snap of the finger.
It's fine to be secretive, it's fine to be strong enough to deal with the issues yourself, it's fine to not want to bother anyone about your businesses but it's also fine to let someone in. Not everyone ofcourse then that would be a crowd. Let's someone in at least, someone who can listen and care, this really does help. They say a problem shared is a problem half solved and this is all because the heartfelt words are gradually leaving the heart to the environment and this is just like breathing. Same way we breathe out the carbon dioxide which is not needed by us, same way the heart needs to let go of those burdens.
Many times I've heard people say oosh I really needed to get that off my chest. Like yea we need to, taking it all in would mostly lead to an emotional breakdown even as guys. We can only act up for so long but we know when we've really had it to the brim. A lady could easily cry and get everyone petting trying to put her back in mood, telling her all the right words she needed to hear, shocking among those trying to put her in mood would be guys too. However when the tables turn and a guy cries, wait a guy cries, everyone is already laughing, taking him for a weakling, this is wrong and is the cause of many emotional breakdown between men, we need to know it's ok to pour it out.
If you ever gets close to a man be ready to give him the supports he deserves, already life mandates so much responsibilities from us, to which we all want to accomplish in the shortest time possible. therefore the quest for success Is hitting so hard on us. Should any still be lacking behind while his mates are making headlines, reaching their goal, that man begins to question his competence. Now imagine a time like this, which is a very sensitive moment, a little more frustration could lead to total giving up, and his friends and family or spouses are not encouraging, then they aren't helping matters, similarly we men can help matters by talking to someone about how we feel, then help can surface.
Well I'm not saying a man should cry at every slight hurt, we still maintain the pride we have, but in situations you know are soon to burst from within, then I guess its best we deal with it the right way, the right way Is by letting it out, crying if need be, explaining to someone and even therapy is cases be more severe. Emotional breakdown are real, in fact so real and more men are falling victims without having permitted Avenues to pour them out. You know its very ok for men to be vulnerable too at times, so they can quickly get back on their feet. Even the strongest of men breaks too, and its completely fine.

If Wishes Were Horses
If all your wishes came through, how would your life be right now, good right, then what effect would it have on the world, would you be able to control the situations, how would you ensure you're not overly stepping boundaries and still remain good. If wishes were horses, I sure would be very wealthy, I might not be here no doubt, oh I should be on a vacation to Hawaii, or sunset at Miami, or the night life of las Vegas, I should be surrounded by many sexy ladies, having the time of my life, don't judge me, if Solomon could do it, then why not me, I'll be basking the the euphoria of I'm the greatest man ever created. You think that's too much, wait till you listen to your thoughts.
Every single person has his or her crazy wishes, we don't hear each other thoughts so we all appear sane to the other, well we truly aren't sane, maybe we were same but the craziness of this world dive deep into us sooner or later and boom you have been infested. Currently living and doing things normally is regarded as not doing anything at all. The few who gets to the limelight are those who can do the extra, who has gone beyond what we see everyday and gives the public something to awe about, therefore abnormal is the new normal. Beyonce sings better than the voices we hear every day at home or streets, messi plays better than the boys we watch on the field in our environment, and this abnormal good is the juice that brings them out.
So its ok to be abnormal, and it all starts from a crazy thought. What's that crazy thought ravaging your mind, if you had your way, would we all be safe. Wouldn't you get what you want at the detriment of others? Someone could say, oh I'll also wish they are not affected, but how can they not be. For example the money are meant to circulate and not be held down by one person, holding it down would be bad for the environment sooner. But pretty sure if wishes were horses, we would want to grab as much for ourselves thereby taking what originally due another.
Little do we know that getting it all without struggles and via mere wishing alone would later turn out bad. Take a real life example from the one man who had it all, or at least was regarded as one who could see his wishes become reality, I'm talking about king Solomon, he got it so well, everything a man could ever fantasize about were all in his grasp, he was in short living the dream. But what did he come to conclude, what was his take from getting all his wishes fulfilled? What did he say after all his wishes were truly horses? He said "Vanity upon vanity " none of it freaked him anymore.
Haven't you seen a wealthy man that says "I can give it all up, just for happiness" then we begin to wonder if there are other important things than money. As humans we do act based on the rush we feel inside, that excitement, that fast heart beat, it could be overwhelming but we still want to do it, we still want to get it, its what we crave for, its what our heart beat for, and to a great extent it gives meaning to our lifes. If someone asked about you from a friend, that friend would most probably talk about you based on what he knows you love doing, and that are what your heart craves, therefore our cravings makes up our habit, which makes up our personalities too.
Now imagine you had it all, all your wishes were horses, as you wish it you recieve, how long would it be until you loose interest in the things of life, how long before you see something to excite you. Would you find joy in life, would you get your heart racing fast, would you be happy with what you originally were happy for. As human we love the quest for something new, for something different, for something exciting, this are what gets us smiling, gets us motivated, gets us waking up early and working hard, there is something to pursue, and when we finally get it we appreciate it and we are truly happy. However the story would be different when we get it without stress.
Would you appreciate the value of life too, if you could easily find yourself sleeping in a 5 star hotel, or swimming in a pool on the topmost lounge of a skyscraper, would you appreciate the value, when you can easily get the body massage as often as you want, would you keep craving for it as heart racing as you normally would. There is a difference between working and spending of your sweat and getting it all on a platter of wishes. Most people would still feel like they would keep enjoying it till their last day and not feel down, uhmm, certainly everyone would love for a long time but sooner it won't all matter anymore.
Lastly if wishes were horses, then most people would be in trouble, and that's without a doubt. Have you ever gotten angry with someone you wished you could just sneeze them in your hands, this would be the case of many. Especially the police, they probably would be disappearing everyday cause we know how annoying they can be at times. More than getting angry, also trying to earn your respect from people would also get you wishing wrongly, wishing the need your help so you can prove the point.
God in his infinite wisdom knows why he made the world this way, that we have to work, as we sow that way we reap. If we want to have more then we must improve. Wishes can't be horses and that's luckily for us all. So get working on those wishes with your entire body. Just you can work it out to fulfillment.

Premarital Pregnancy
Not sure the topic is a word that goes together, just felt it explains what I'm about discussing today. Its a crazy world we live in already and those things we thought were totally wrong are gradually being accepted in the society as well as Celebrated. Keeping your marriage vows till the D day is no more held with high regards, well I can't say I'm not guilty, but you know what's bad is bad regardless, and what's good must be encouraged, it's the only way to ensure the society would be sane. Pretty sure a larger percent of the world's population are guilty, but if we don't talk about it, it'll get worst before the coming generation of our kids.
The sooner we accept that people wouldn't stop having premarital sex just because they know its bad, the earlier we start focusing on more trivial areas. some are discipline enough to hold their bodies until the right time, while many others don't care as much as they should. The quest for fun is eating deep, and yes its enjoyable, God made it so, its a special act and meant to make the moment special... Well not so special anymore, our boyfriends and girlfriends, even friends are already partakers of the special cake, we just have to move as though we are not pained, what's that popular slang again, oh i remember, we move.
After fun doesn't just end after the zip up, they extend into pregnancy, and if its not wanted at that time, we start looking for the quick option out, like you mean going to stay 9 months without fun, I don't need any baby now, oh what can I do, and the Brain start chorusing get rid of it. The men are also partakers of the burden, although some irresponsible men might reject the pregnancy, it still doesn't stop the fact that they now have someone they are responsible for, they are only being a coward for rejecting to accept the responsibility too. Sadly the ladies don't have this easy option of shying away and they just have to come to gleams with reality sooner later.
Every life is important, just as your life is important, before now we were being taught that we never know who could be the next president or prime minister or any top official, that it could be anyone, well as time begin to go by, we begin to care less, we just want to enjoy ourselves at the expenses of anything and anyone, everyday we see people hurt another person and doesn't even feel remorseful about it, injustice everywhere and its like a norms, we yet make it look like we all have to be strong to survive in this world, chanting life is a jungle and only the tough survive, please life is not a jungle, rather the justice system needs to seat up and restore back law for the powerless also. So everyone is important even your unborn baby is highly important too.
Yes, your parents are disappointed, your boyfriend has rejected the baby, but all these doesn't make the child evil, or less of a star, as long as you can train that child with love, you'll be thanking God everyday for your decision to keep such a wonderful girl or boy. However some young fathers have also taken responsibilities and are working hand in hand to see the baby born and train to be a good adult, such men and women are applauded.
Yes, it's a gift any child can only hope for that the father and mother would be united and train them in love, cause however we look at it, one can't fully occupy the space of the other, they can only try but a man can better act as a father and woman a mother, so yes you do right by joining your spouse to train up a child be it an unwanted pregnancy or not, every child deserves the best.
The use of contraceptive should be taken seriously, the risk of having sex without it is too much and is likely going to lead to unwanted pregnancy, we can never be too careful guys. Starts thinking on what your react would be should you get pregnant now and what your likely actions might be or if you're a guy and your girl gets pregnant, what are you likely to do, then you can use a contraceptive or not base on what you decide, but since we can change our minds anytime when the real pressure surmount, its still advisable we just stay safe, abstinence or contraceptive.
Having an unwanted pregnancy doesn't mean the child is bad or has bad luck, and should not be named based on the troubles you faced during the duration of his or her birthing process, give a good and sweet name, a name that would not remind you of the anguish, the life of the child is more than you, you are only a helper and God ordained caretaker, the child has the world to conquer as a task so he must be giving a victorious name instead.
Undoubtedly, some parents have given birth to their kids against all odds, some parents have stood by their kids even after the shame they brought home, and today the child is growing and they are everyday they see the once upon a time kid they distested and love him or her now more than ever, and could only thank God for giving them to courage and strength to do right. Abortion is a choice and I'm not going to kick against it, I guess its already legal in some countries. Yet that kid is special, any child you're blessed with, be sure he's a gift from God and God doesn't make bad, everything he makes is good. God bless every young parent out there.
