If You do not Love Yourself, You will damage Yourself

By -

If You don't love yourself, you will damage yourself. Loving yourself does not equate to being selfish. It means allowing yourself to be in alignment with the love that you are. It means acknowledging that you are worthy to be loved. It means giving yourself permission to restore the dignity and integrity of your body, mind and soul. It means taking care of yourself so that you will be able to take care of others. It means filling your cup so you have something to give to the needy.

Self-love is humility in action. Self-love is the main precursor of authenticity. Self-love is a spiritual technology we learn only in solitude. When life has damaged you beyond repair, you will understand the true meaning of self-love. To love your neighbor as you love yourself means that you can only love your neighbor to the extent and depth that you love yourself. Self-love is a spiritual commandment. The only preconditions for self-love is a deep knowing of who we really are and an assured understanding of why we do what we do. The engine of human life runs on belief systems. Believe that you are worthy and be the love that you are.

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
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...

To be Successful, One must love Patience and Enjoy the Process

There has never been more pressure than it is now for young entrepreneurs to become millionaires. So because I post on Facebook daily, friends and family assume that I'm one multimillion dollar ultra successful entrepreneur (which I am anyways). The other day I was with my best friend and he asked me jokingly, "when will you marry?" My response was, "heck! At age 30 I should have travelled to at least 10 countries in the world and you're here talking of marriage", "who marriage epp?" We both laughed. What does this mean? Pressure! There's pressure to marry. Pressure to "hammer". Pressure to become a millionaire. Pressure to start "supporting" the family. Damn it! Pressure everywhere! So you see young people running here and there with the desire to "make it in life". Suddenly, a graphic designer somewhere in Rumuola feels he's a failure because he doesn't have up to 1M in his account. Everyone seems to...

Comportment and Etiquette

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

Life will bring You the right people, just be You

By -
Image
Life has a way of bringing the right people into our lives without our effort. Put away your checklist or any other type of box that your mind has designed to fit people inside. Allow the intelligence of nature that provides you with air, sunshine and rain to do its job. Our job is to fix ourselves in solitude and to fill ourselves with love and self-respect. Your soul knows what it needs and when it comes along, energy will be the attraction. When the right person comes along, don't bring out your box because they will not fit your imaginary criteria. God will send you what you need to move you to the next level. Work on your inner eye and comfort your inner child while you wait for the one who will come to offer their love and who will desire nothing but your love. By: Uchenna Ilo

Be Willing to Risk the Known for the Unknown

By -
Image
On your journey towards authenticity, just when you feel like you are finally living on a high vibrational spiritual level, life will take you to a crossroad where you will be forced to make a major life decision. Your choice of action will decide if you are still going to be subservient to the social programming or if you are going to free yourself from the chains of worldly expectations. It is usually a decision that cuts you off emotionally and maybe physically from some of your close friends and family because they will not understand why you have to take such a risk. The truth is that nobody knows the vision you were given. If you decide to play it safe for the sake of acceptance, you will never find out who you really are and all the abundance that may have been. If you decide to take the risk and step into the unknown, go inside it with courage, hope and faith that everything will work out well. Life is a double bind and every day, we are either growing into our authentic selves...

Rags (2012)

So I picked this movie as the first I'll write about on this label. I've watched lot of movies, deleted some, but this is one of those I find it difficult to delete. I just have to delete some others to create space for some more movies I want to watch.. This is one of the movies I'll recommend if you are looking for one to give you some motivation. Rags is a musical film, starring a number of characters, two of which are most outstanding. Charlie Prince (Max Schneider) and Kadee Worth (Keke Palmer) both got musical talents, but of different financial backgrounds. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Charlie, who had lost his mum and was from the lower financial background, had great passion for his talent and always believed he will be someone great one day. He kept up his faith, even with his discouraging step dad and step brothers. Anyway, he got that little family (Diego and Martha) which kinda filled a gap and gave him some inspiration. He had his fears, sometimes doubte...

Later again, his mum had to readmit him at the workhouse. At age 9, on one of the number of times the mum was committed to mental asylum, Charlie and his brother went to stay with the dad, whom t...

Nothing is Impossible if You believe in the little You have

Feeling overwhelmed by what is not working in your life? It's okay and normal but you need to know that the battle is not about what is not working in your life, but rather about what is working (even if it's little) but lacks your attention and focus because you're overwhelmed by the former. There was a time in the famous creator of the globally popular Harry Potter series, J.K Rowling's life when she was diagnosed with clinical depression and attempted suicide. Her marriage had failed, and she was jobless with a dependent child. She signed up for government aid – she was so poor, she could not afford to support herself and her daughter. In 1990, while she was on a four-hour-delayed train trip from Manchester to London, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry “came fully formed” into her mind. It however got choked by her worries and fears about her poor situation till 5 years after (1995) when she eventually finished writing the manuscrip...
