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!

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...

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...

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...

What do you have in your hands?

By -
Image
Have you ever given someone a gift that they don’t care about or won’t use? You must think they are ungrateful, especially if it's a gift that's expensive and important to the service of others. Do you think God could "feel" the same way about the talents he has endowed you with? Do you think you could have been depriving someone out there the privilege of being blessed by your service to humanity? If you're culpable; you've probably ignored your talent — your God given gift to humanity. To ignore your talent, is to ignore God in your life and deprive many others the gift of God in you. He made us that way — He has equiped us for what we are suited for with a great calling to serve humanity. It is never too late to discover what talents you have and develop them. The development of your talent is too important to be left to chance. Invest time, energy, and money to fan your talent into raging flame that transforms the world. Play that piece, sing ...

Eye health: Keeping healthy Eyes

By -

We know how important our eyes are to us. The eyes are delicate and no one will definitely want anything to compromise the eyesight. Today, I will share some important points about keeping one's eyes healthy. • Regular eye check ups and tests are necessary for ensuring good eye health, and will help to detect certain eye diseases like glaucoma which could be asymptomatic. Also, one's knowledge of his/her family's eye health history is necessary to pre-guard against hereditary eye diseases • Staring at screens (TV screen, computer screen, video games) could be unhealthy for one's eyes. It's advisable that one doesn't stare for too long. A rule called the 20/20/20 rule suggests that one should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes to reduce eye strain. That implies that one should take his eyes off the screen at least once every 20 minutes and relax the eyes • The use of sunglasses is encouraged when the intensity of sunli...

Positive Life & Relationship Presents – The Love & Positivity Initiative (LPI) ---------- Hi Friend. Hope you're doing Great? I believe 2017 has been Great for You? 2018 have to be Greater! ---------- I will briefly share my story – the motivation. When I was born, I had a "perfect" mind. By this, I see the world through the positive light. I always speak and advocate for what's right. I don't need to be trained or taught, it was just in me. It's my personality. Growing up wasn't easy. Aside family challenges, my positive philosophy of life was basically solid though I later discovered that I had a lot to learn, and with my greatest ability – the ability to have an open mind towards life – I was able to get to where I want to be mentally, or let me say, I've gotten to a great extent (learning and improving never stops, you know) There came a period when I had some darkness – my positive philosophy to life started shaking.. Life's dai...

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...
