Two Choices

By -

Life is full of ups and downs. When we fall, we are tempted not to get up because of the uncertainties we don't want to confront. When we stay down, we don't accomplish anything, and we feel worse.
But when clean our eyes, dust ourselves up, get up and follow the light or hope, no matter how small it is, we'll surely feel better and fulfilled. Trust me.

So I leave you with two choices:

- Stay down, casted and blame those that hurt you, thereby giving them control over your life.
- Leave it all behind, learn from your mistakes, look forward and find happiness.

Stay Positive!

It is time to dump Virgin Ideas if You are to monetize your passion

By -
Image
Someone sent me a private message sometime ago and he narrated how he has been finding it difficult to monetize his ideas. He told me how it took him three years to finally come up with the idea. Striving for three years to conceive an idea was tough for him and now, he couldn't earn a dime from his idea. I was surprised and I had to ask him why it took him three years to come up with the idea. ''People are implementing every ideas that I had before that idea. And that idea was the only one I got that no one is doing it yet''. You see the mistake? People still believe that their ideas must be raw, untouched and Virgin for it to scale. People believe having Virgin ideas is what makes them unique. The truth is, discovering an idea to be Virgin is an indication that it's not marketable, neither can it be profitable. If no one is doing it, it may not be suited for our world. Dump that idea ASAP the moment you realize there's no market for it. The world h...

We are Members of One Body, NOT Independent Cells

By -
Image
Beloved, Christianity isn't a personal race as we are made to believe. It is rather a collective race with personal responsibilities. We are not the Cell of Christ but the Body of Christ. We must realize that whatever affects one part, affects the whole body. We must understand that all these talks such as "Leave everyone to their own beliefs. Let whatever you belief work for you. If I tithe, is it your business?" etcetera, are all revelations of a lack of synergy in the Faith. The Lord Jesus would have us grow up into him in all things. He would have his Church walk in Holy rhythmicity. He would have us understand that we are one united force before whom the World is to tremble. This individualistic mindset is actually folly and it's a huge debit on our eternal inheritance. We must begin to see ourselves, not as separate entities with placentas tied to the womb of the "Pauls and Apollos" of our times, but as one Holy body, under the command of one Lord...

Personal Brand Development (by Tobi Afolabi)

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions held earlier this year, on Personal Brand Development by Tobi Afolabi, the pioneer of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. ---------- Tobi Afolabi : A lot has been shared on this community about personal branding which all balls down to the fact that it is the perception people have about us and what we do. These things we do may be conscious or unconscious to us, but the fact remains that they form a perception of who we are. We live in a world of brands today: People, places, organizations, ideas and many more. Why do I say this? A number of us today, if we were asked to choose the our best fashion designer, shoe maker, life coach, footballer.... We do it based on the perception we have about these people. Same happens to places, organisations, ideas, as well as many other things. Our decisions are based to a very large extent on our inter...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -

A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

I Lost Myself, I Found Myself, Again!

I was nothing special. I get that. I come from humble beginnings. Zero silver spoon in my mouth. In school, I didn’t fit in. Wasn’t given much of a chance. A teacher told me I’d never make a head-on in writing. I didn’t believe him (Trust your instincts versus your critics). I kept on moving ahead. I understood the power of ferocious learning – reading books constantly, studying the best consistently and putting in the effort relentlessly. I made seemingly insignificant small acts that to me revealed a beautiful progress. Quietly proving my naysayers knew nothing. Anyone can put someone down. Heroes lift others up. Thanks to another teacher of mine. In Jss2 – my Yoruba teacher. She saw something in me that nearly no one had. She encouraged me – and helped me believe in myself. Via her, my self-perception changed. My interior story transformed. I’ll always revere her for this. I've had disposed papers where I penned my writings. I couldn't get any published. I started with...

I try not to borrow, first you borrow then you beg (Ernest Hemingway) The goal of retirement is to live off your assets-not on them (Frank Eberhart) The virtues of free enterprise can become distorted by greed and delusion (Allan Lokos) If money management isn't something you enjoy, consider my perspective. I look at managing my money as if it were a part-time job. The time you spend monitoring your finances will pay off. You can make real money by cutting expenses and earning more interest on savings and investments. I'd challenge you to find a part-time job where you could potentially earn as much money for just an hour or two of your time (Laura D. Adams) The first rule in making money is not to lose it (Steven J. Lee) Raising interest rates is voo-doo. You can't deal with a global system problem by trying to solve it with this (Stafford Beer) You attract poverty when you lack value for time (Sunday Adelaja)

The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

Today, I'll share few of what I learnt from this inspiring book by Norman Vincent Peale. It's an amazing and inspiring book, which I feel a lot of persons have read. But if you haven't, it's worth checking out. It's amazing to know that Peale's book is still inspiring lives long after written, and after he's gone (Peale died in 1993 at the age of 95 years). • Nothing is inherently powerful. But WE are powerful, and we can give strength and power to whatever we choose to give such to. One's mind gives strength and power to circumstances, things, situations. And the more one's mind focus on something, it gives greater strength and power to such thing. And when strength and power is given to something, that thing has some control and authority even over us, the giver of the power, and would exercise that authority until one recognizes it and decides to take away such authority. It's then left for us to decide what we should give greater strength a...
