Perception

By -

Perception is a synonym (another word) for Vision.
Vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination.
Imagination is the act of forming new ideas.
Therefore, VISION is the ability to think about the future by forming new ideas.

Habakkuk 2:2 - And The LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision (thoughts about the future, by thinking in new ways) and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

This simply means that God expects us to be Thinkers, Builders, Innovators. In the creation of man God said "Lets us make man in our image after our likeness". This shows that God thought about us, He thought about something that was missing in the world.

We are made in the image of God. You are meant to be like him (the creator), so whatever You are faced with, You have the ability to solve it, by thinking in new ways.

When You have thought about it, write it down and run with it, then your joy shall be filled.

Do it now!!

If you believe in yourself, you will live life being yourself and doing the very best to give yourself a worthwhile life. Do you know that staying poor will make you deprive yourself the taste of a quality life, so why not work and treat yourself with love. Your body deserves good clothes, good food and good shelter, honestly I have looked at life and agree that I need to be very wealthy and healthy to enjoy this and much more. Please make up your mind to love yourself, and you can't love without giving. Give yourself what it needs. The bible say love your neighbour as yourself because you deserve to love yourself. Today, some people can't just show love to themselves, there is no food, no good place to lay your body and no enough money to afford the good things of life. Please it starts from learning, earning, investing and working. The pains you don't face today, you will face tomorrow. It has been discovered that no pain, no gain.

Don't let the experiences define You, no matter how much it tries to

By -
Image
Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in life. They have had so many disappointments, they don't think they can face the pain of another one. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they won't be disappointed. This avoidance of hope is a type of protection against being hurt. Disappointment hurts! So rather than be hurt again, many people simply refuse to hope or to believe that anything good will ever happen to them. This type of behavior sets up a negative lifestyle. Everything becomes negative because the thoughts are negative. Remember Proverbs 23:7 – For as he (a person) thinks in his heart, so is he. By: Abeyi Kingsley Onoriode

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

I was on one of my favorite spots reading with my phone, when two young ladies, one in bum shorts (I hate when ladies wear this outside) just showcasing themselves in front of me. I lifted my head and looked, then smiled and shook my head as if I didn't see anything. I continued my reading. After plenty effort to gain my attention, by one of them, they advised themselves. One said to the other, why you just dey show yourself, which boy weh go call you for here? I smiled again, then two ladies beside me joined in the discussion. No be boy dey here, one of them mentioned. The other lady replied her saying, "this one na pastor o, em no get time". And as if that was not enough, the other lady went on to ask, "abi em no get prick, no be man em be?". This time I was shocked. I smiled again and pretended as if I didn't hear what she said. In my heart I replied, I have prick but my prick is under control, my prick does not control me nor dictate for me. Why my sto...

How I got out of paid employment in 11 months

It is true that you achieve what you put your mind to. January 27 2017, I was seated in the office to have my final interview. I have read lots of interview questions and answers online before then like I was going to get a 10 million naira job. Staying without job for a year was the lowest point of my life. I answered every questions pragmatically and then the very big question! How long do you see yourself working with us? "I can only guaranty that I will be here in the next one year", I replied. I didn't even last a year because I have my purpose and focus in view. I knew exactly what took me there so I wasn't that employee who has the mindset of retirement. In fact, I never participated in anything long term there. Maybe you also want to have total control of your time to play a bigger game. The following steps will guide you. Find your purpose: Every decisions I took springed from my discovery of Oladipupo. Though I was jobless in 2016, I used that year t...

Discuss! Talk about Everything!!

"Each time we are through having sex, I take some concoctions to flush my system and my Husband isn't aware. He wants kids, I don't." Chanced upon a woman some years back, we got talking and she hinted me on the fact that she didn't want to have any kids in the mean time. I replied her that it's not a problem since her husband was privy and had made that arrangement along with her. To my shock she said her husband wasn't aware and that he was actually expecting her to get pregnant soon, as they were having sex without any form of protection. She went ahead to tell me that she flushes her system with some funny concoctions which I can't remember now (whenever she had sex), I think it was the popular Fayrouz drink and some other random stuffs. She was told it would prevent the husband's sperm from fulfilling its mission. Now isn't that sinister? The poor man was probably hoping to hear her say she had missed her period and all that.. I as...

Happiness and You (Oxytocin)

By -
Image
Oxytocin is one of the major four chemical substances (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins, - DOSE) in the body that is related to happiness. One may have thought that Oxytocin is only involved in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it really has much contribution to happiness.  Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter that is present in both males and females. It has been dubbed names such as "Love hormone", "Love and Trust hormone", "Cuddle hormone", and " Social bonding hormone".  It's a social bonding hormone that supports love, trust and attachment between individuals, decreases fear and anxiety, increases pain threshold (makes it harder to feel pain), and promotes growth and healing. During sexual stimulation and orgasm, one experiences that feeling of relief from stress, anxiety and tension. The credit goes to Oxytocin which is released in the process. However, there are a lot of ways to get your body to release Oxytocin and get t...
