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!

You are Limitless!

I got a video on my mobile which I watched over a week ago. It's a motivating one. The message on the video is from the album: "Feed your mind with Success (Motivational Speeches)" I'll share the message: There's a popular quote going around at the moment: The person you will be in 5 years is based on the books you read and the people you hang around with today This is quite true but it applies to everything else as well. The person you will be in the future is based on everything you do today ! The people you hang around with, but more so the people you listen to The opinions you believe The books you read or the videos you watch All the information you take in Positive or negative will affect your future The workouts you do or don't do: that will show up in the future. The foods you eat today will affect your future on a visual and energy level. The same is true with your thoughts and information . What you feed your mind will shape your f...

Real Faith is Concrete and Evidential

By -
Image
Our faith as Christians is not misguided or misdirected, God did not ask us to have faith on something that does not work or that is nonexistent. Everything we believe God for already is and have been proven to be reproducible. People have believed for the same things you believe God for and have or are getting them continually. The problem is we and not the word of God. Do this anytime you feel your faith is tested. Walk randomly into your church and ask people randomly if they have ever believed God for what you are believing and have received. The results have always been and will continue. Our faith is not guess work, it is not uncertain, it is not speculation, it is not luck or chance. We believe God for what already is, have been and is been received continually by others. Real faith is concrete, it is evidential, tangible and reproducible anywhere. It works in all climes. By: Raphael Donanu

Its a Love and Relationship Something

By -

Hello Somebody! I believe you're doing great? And hope the week has been a positive one too? Just wanna drop these quotes for you. It's a Love and Relationship Something. You'll definitely find them helpful. Share with your friends too, and help bless a soul. It's a month of Love, so we've gotta keep the Love alive! Enjoy! ----- Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive. – Christopher Pike ----- When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that ...

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...

Trust Equity

There are all sorts of measures of trust. Sometimes, they help you to uncover who your real friends and future business partners are. There are people you can't leave in a room alone with your phone, or sit across the table from with an open letter. Their eyes will stray. They are snitches and busybodies who lack discretion. Then there are those you better not leave your bag with. Something will go missing. There are a few you can trust with your credit card details and the password to your email account. The possibility of them betraying your trust is not even on your radar. They won't. When the transaction is done, they promptly forget your passwords and never bother to write them down. They understand the access was for a specific purpose. Then, there are the rare folks you give full and ongoing access. Even when they don't ask for information, you volunteer it. They deserve your trust and have a history of bearing your burdens. They are also noble. They don't reta...

Honest Self Reflection helps Us Grow

By -
Image
Deep self-reflection is at the core of the spiritual healing process. It involves holding a mirror up to one's own activities, beliefs, assumptions and judgements about their lives. It is about developing an awareness of the limits of your knowledge and being extremely mindful that the truths you hold about the nature of reality may not be universally held. Reflection is a spiritually humbling process that opens our inner eyes to the underlying paradoxes that make up the beliefs that we hold so dearly. Honest reflection also creates an awareness that attracts the right kind of people and sequence of events that bring the needed growth in your life. By: Uchenna Ilo

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...
