Should an Employee seek to grow his passion?

By -
Image
This is a question that has generated a lot of conversation and brought diverse responses. Should an employee seek to pursue his or her passion? When is the right time? How do I make time to pursue it and make it profitable? Questions like these have lingered in the hearts of employees. With the uncertainties at some work place, the satisfaction derived from your heart's call and the fear of regret at the twilight of life. These and many more have pushed many out of their comfort zone to run their dreams and same time, the demands have made much more cower and stay in their comfort zone, drained of life - dying daily. Am I saying you quit your job to chase your passion? Of course not a decision to be made in the spur of the moment. You just must start small and take little steps towards them. I don't want to use my experience to explain this but let me share a friend's. I met him at a wedding over three years ago, we were groomsmen to our mutual friend and from the...

Suffering and Your Life

By -
Image
Many people expect life to be easy. Even as a Christian, there is no crown without a cross. Many people wish they can just wish suffering away, deny it exists or drink it away. Suffering is how the spirit of man grows, how it learns to discipline itself from the incessant demands of the wayward flesh. Suffering people are growing people. But does that mean we should desire suffering? No, we should not desire suffering but neither should we resist it. Because what we resist persists. We should not try to hide from suffering. Like a bully, we stand up to it, pull it in the beard and find out that it was just an attachment meant to scare us. Suffering is not bad in itself and will only cease when you have learned your lesson from it. Adversity is the road map to prosperity just as failure is the step stones to Success. Shakespeare wrote "Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a pre-jewel in its head." If you want to increase y...

Casting Aside Expectations

By -
Image
Our generation has been termed to be the most open minded in the history of human race. That's partly true, as our generation is extremely diverse, and with that diversity many ways of thinking appear. We find that the ideas older generation consider private are openly discussed by our generation and likes of such attitude and approach towards life. This new behaviour and idea of diversity has exposed a lot of us to accepting new ideas – which is not a bad thing in itself. However, it becomes a problem when we start allowing the ideologies, beliefs, and expectations of others define how we live our life. The lack of a strong personal conviction or ideology has left many to seek validation or acceptance from external parties, letting the acts and words of others guide how they live their lives. To be the best you, you need to know how to break away from letting others tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. If what they’re asking of you or exemplifying doesn’t fit into your plan...

Why do People think that Introverts are Rude or Arrogant?

By -
Image
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close fr...

Self Righteousness

By -

We're all guilty of it. Most times, the degree in which we manifest it only varies. An unsubmissive wife feels she's better than her unloving husband. God understands. An unloving husband feels he's better than his unsubmissive wife. God understands. The pulpit minister feels he's more into God and the ministry than the marketplace minister. The marketplace minister considers himself more honourable than the pulpit minister. She that wears trousers or uses jewelries feels she's a more enlightened Christian. She that does not considers herself more spiritual. "Well, I'm not saying I'm perfect, but some people are just impossible..." we would say. We're not perfect but would sit in judgement over another who isn't, too... Because our imperfection is of a different kind, we feel justified and fit to be the judge of another... We're so quick to talk about what that pastor said, what that leader did, what that politician said, and wha...

Leadership!

By -
Image
"Leaders must be good managers, but most managers are not necessarily good leaders". TOM MULLINS. "Leadership is influence " JOHN. C. MAXWELL. Becky Brodin said, "Leadership is not wielding authority – it's empowering people". The most effective leadership is by example, not edict. A leader is one who guides and develops the activities of others and seeks to provide continual training and direction. Leadership is an awesome responsibility. Leadership is a trust conferred upon by others. To earn this trust, you must be true to yourself. Leadership development is a lifetime journey, not a brief trip. Leadership emerges in response to situations that require the very best you have to offer. Brain Tracy said, "The ability to make decisions and act boldly in face of setbacks and adversity is the key to greatness in leadership". John Hagai said, "Leadership is the discipline of deliberately exerting special influence within a group to...

Love has no logic, it is blind to logic

By -
Image
Love originates from the soul and can only be given, felt, received and appreciated by the soul. Love is our essence, love is wisdom, and love is a spiritual concept. If God is love and God is a spirit, then love must be a spirit and loving must thus be a spiritual activity at its core. We find it impossible to love because we live from the mind. The mind functions on logic and reason but love has no reason or logic to it, that's why true love is inexpiable and most times seems like foolishness to people of the world. The mind is continually seeking for a reason to love and it has criteria for qualifying and disqualifying people for love. True love is blind to such logic because you don't need a reason to love anybody; you love because it is natural to do so. When we use our mind to qualify and quantify love, we will end up in suspicion and mistrust. Unconsciousness is when our mind controls our behaviour but consciousness is when our soul observes and controls our mind. Only p...

While We Wait, We Sing On...

By -
Image
Suddenly it all became warm, The warmth you experience when a friend walks in and sits beside you Then it all got brighter, everywhere illuminated Then there was melody, uncommon rhythm... Then unconventional lyrics... The song won't stop playing... It keeps flowing... It's source is deep... Tears flowed with the melody as the eyes couldn't help but express what the heart felt... Chills, goose bumps... Could there be a deeper feeling? Could there be a better place to be? Could there be a better feeling of security?... Awe, reverence, love, sweetness... Beauty... Purity... Tho the present senses are limited, Vocabulary, inadequate to express the feeling of Reality Yet we do know that someday we would see that Friend who walked in and sat beside... We, not Him will be changed... We would be just like Him... We would behold Him and our pupils won't be destroyed by His All-Light personality because we would be All Light too... And the melody we would sing ...
