An Amazing Moment

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Be driven by intentional choices, not by momentary whims. Every day, every hour of your life is precious. Invest your time accordingly, do what really matters, and be present for those you love. There’s plenty of time for you to have an awesome life, regardless of your age, and your situation. Just a few minutes spent in the service of what you care about is enough to make the day an amazing one. You can choose today to rise above the petty disputes and meaningless diversions. You can choose to focus on the beauty, the possibilities, and work to create new richness. Every time you feel joy, sadness, regret, enthusiasm, let the feeling remind you of all that truly matters. And rededicate yourself, your time, your energy, and your efforts to those things. This day is filled with choices, and those choices can take you far. The life you wish to live becomes real as you continue to choose it in every moment.

The crowd is wrong

Some of us are just following the masses; not knowing which direction we are going. We are going where they are going, doing what they are doing and saying what they are saying even when we do not understand why. Simply put, we do it because that is what everybody is doing. Following the crowd, is the most common travelled road to mediocrity! Are you doing something just because you want to ' prove ' yourself to somebody? You don't have to prove yourself to anybody but yourself. This is your life. Don't allow others to dictate how you should live it. And don't allow anyone to take you down with them. They don't know how you got here anyway! You can do it. I BELIEVE IN YOU! Wish you have a wonderful week

LIFE HAPPENS

Life is unpredictable and comes with its own trials... Life is sometimes unbearable and sometimes memorable.... Do not expect life to favourable all the time... For unmet expectations disturbs the soul. Do not live life to please anyone, except the Creator. Just sit and have a flash back in your life... You've been criticized, you've been doubted, lies have been told against you, all manner of things have been done to run you down and to let others hate you. One thing they can't do is stop you from being who you're and that's killing them slowly. That's just life. Always maintain your focus and put your best foot forward all the time. Remember that you've all the time and the opportunity today to make tomorrow better. Do all the hard work today so as to have a restful tomorrow. Keep away envy and hatred and maintain a warm heart no matter the trials because life's short. Maintain your focus. Remember, God never said the weapon will not form, but ...

TOMORROW IS A MYTH

Leave the future alone until it comes: Be not hasty and rushed for things that have yet to come to pass. Do you think it is wise to pick fruits before they become ripe? Tomorrow is nonexistent, having no reality today, so why should you busy yourself with it? Why should you have apprehensions about future disasters? Why should you be engrossed by their thoughts, especially since you do not know whether you will even see tomorrow? The important thing to know is that tomorrow is from the world of the unseen, a bridge that we do not cross until it comes. Who knows, perhaps we might never reach the bridge, or the bridge might collapse before we reach it, or we may actually reach it and cross safely. Your today start make up your tomorrow. All what you do today builds your tomorrow, so never panic on what tomorrow holds. Make today good and your tomorrow will be better. The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed. ~...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely or they're missing somebody. They are in love with someone they probably shouldn't be in love with. They have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish and they dream and they hope, and they look out the window whenever they're in the car or on a bus or a train and they watch people on the streets and wonder what they've been through. They wonder if there are people out there like them. They're like you, and you could tell them everything and they would understand. And right now, they're sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. So smile!

WHY HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU DON'T BENEFIT FROM

Why hold on to what you don't benefit from. Many of us refuse to see the great things ahead because of our beliefs and experiences. We forget the fact that we are in a changing world where constant update of our knowledge is a must... If we must live today to the fullest, then our knowledge must be regularly updated to help us not to live today by yesterday's knowledge. This enable us to change our thoughts because every time we change our thought, we are changing our lives generally.... As you step out today, determine to do something different if you so much believe in it. Take stock of yourself and see where you need to improve on. Then update and upgrade yourself towards that direction... As you step out today, nobody said it's going to be easy. But we MUST give our best to get the best!...

Always Delay Judgment

No matter who you are, how experienced you are and how knowledgeable you think you are, always try to delay judgement. Give others the privilege to explain themselves. What you see may not be the real thing. Never conclude in your head for or on others. That is why we should never judge others without understanding them first. Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but they understand the concept of responsibility. Those who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the relationship they have built. Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend. Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because cos you are in their heart. Those who take out time to chat with you, do not mean they are jobless or less busy, but they know the importance of keeping in touch. One day, we will all get separated from e...

THE PAST AND FUTURE

Sometimes we find ourselves in a very terrible situation and it seems there is no way out. So we sit there, sad angry and wondering how we arrived at this place and how we can get out. In this situation, your present predicament has nothing good to offer except sadness and frustration. This is when you must switch on " The Past and Future " switch. Think about and focus on something that happened in the past; a very happy event that blew your mind and brought loads of joy! You will notice that very good memories will bring you joy and most importantly hope that somehow, you will make it through the current situation. If you can't think of anything in the past, then look to the future with hope that soon things will turn around. Some people call it visualisation and there are so many testimonies that this works so why not use it as a source of hope that the happy days are coming.

TIME IS CONSTANT

" Check your calendar , what you see is some numbers . 365 days make a year, 52 weeks, I'm meant to survive". This is from a song by 9ice titled KINDA LIFE. This sentences should be reflected upon. We all have 24 hours in a day to do with it whatever we please. The rich, the poor, the old and the young all have the same hours daily. It's what we do with it that determines what we get in the long run. If you are jumping around or doing nothing productive then you will reap it. Also if you plan your day and go through with ur plans then you will also reap it. If Aliko Dangote was just sleeping all through his day and not been productive, would he ever achieve what he has. I will encourage all of us to start to make our everyday a productive one.

PERMISSION TO CHECK OUT

What do I want at this point in my life? 🤔🤔 What makes me happy?🤔🤔 Give yourself permission to check out from all the things that could possibly stress and worry you. Allow yourself the time to reconnect with yourself, your heart ❤︎ and your spirit 👻 You have one precious life. Make it a point to actually enjoy it. Live it. Because you have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!!

LOOKING FORWARD

Drop it like it's hot...all the doubt, worry, frustration, stress and anxiety that has been robbing you of your health or causing you to lose sleep at night. Decide to live your life looking forward...not backwards. Examine yourself and be brutally honest with you. If you have habits, behaviors, or choices that are taking you down the wrong path, or that don't represent the GREATNESS that is within you...face the truth. Make the hard decision to release these from your life. Don't allow these choices or habits to rob you of your greatest life or dictate your future. Take back your power, deepen your resolve to win, and intensify the pursuit of what you want. Practice calming your mind, going within, and finding a place of peace within yourself. The mark of GREATNESS is upon you. Live from this place...because this is the truth of who you really are.

Our Journey Together is so Short

A young lady sat in a bus. At the next stop a loud and grumpy old lady came and sat next to her. She squeezed into the seat and bumped her with her numerous bags. The person sitting on the other side of the young lady got upset, asked her why she did not speak up and say something. The young lady responded with a smile: "It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant, the journey together is so short. Anyway, I get off at the next stop." This response deserves to be written in golden letters: "It is not necessary to argue over something so insignificant, our journey together is so short" If each one of us realised that our time here is so short so why darken it with: Quarrels and fights, Futile arguments, Not forgiving others, Discontentment and A fault finding attitude all are a waste of time and energy. Did someone break your heart? "Be calm, the journey is so short." Did someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate ...

How you handle disappointments goes a long way to determine your success. Most times, to get to that peak, you need disappointments on your way to keep you on your toes...

But we get so bitter when we are disappointed not knowing it's the beginning of a new phase in our life and work. Every disappointment and challenge comes with it's own hidden package for us... Don't work yourself up on a closed door while a new open stares right at you..
