It is Time

By -

It's time to let go of something that no longer fits in with your present reality and your dream future. It's time to let go of control and let yourself be free like true love. It's time to face your shadows and unlock those invisible chains of guilt that have been holding you back. It's time to forgive that person so that the heaviness of your heart will reduce. It's time to confess that truth you have been hiding so your conscience can be clean. It's time to love someone deeply no matter the risk of heartbreak. It's time to dream again and let go of your fears. It's time to start working instead of wishing your life away. It's time to be the person you truly are instead of faking it till you make it. It's time to build your inner circle of love and growth instead of being with people that add no value to your life. It's time to work on your health so that your body will last longer on earth. It's time to give up those bad habits so that you will stop putting yourself in trouble. The only time has and will always be in the here and the now. Let the dead leaves drop.

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...

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...

The Art of Leadership (by Daniel Otabor)

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Daniel Otabor on The Art of Leadership, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of January. 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. ---------- Daniel Otabor : You know guys, Leadership is like the dilemma of life. It is both easy to understand and complex to grasp. Just like humans. This is because truly, Leadership begins and ends with understanding your purpose first, and then leading it. There was a time I told an audience that as long as you breathe, you are a leader....

Nature versus Nuture

By -
Image
Your physical features can be identified as identical to that of your parents, like your eyes from your father, and the hair color from your mother. However, your personality and talents may have come not from your father or mother. The environment where you grew up may have a lasting effect or influence on that way you talk, behave and respond to the things around you. Culled from Sarah Mae Cero Scientists argue over the influence of nature which is our genetic make-up and nurture which is our environment. However the argument is basically to determine which influences us more. But they agree that each plays a role in contributing to who we are today. As Christians, we are caught up in this nature versus nurture interplay. We were made after his nurture, but when sin interfered our genetic make up was corrupted (a missense mutation). When Christ came, he went about removing the codon that started coding for sin. He restored our make up. We thus have a new nature within us. No longe...

Men are same, wicked and heartless

By -
Image
Hi Lady, the problem isn't that all men are same, wicked and heartless. I think the problem lies in Your :- 1. Indecision to define your kind of man, probably due to self deceit and focus on what you will get (misplaced focus); 2. Faulty mindset: It's so baffling how people castigate their future and still expect the best out of it. If you've been brain washed by that your friend with failed relationship(s) that never told you her own bad side of the story, why not stay off the way? 3. Insensitivity to clearly identify him from the first day. One question no woman has been able to answer me till date is: What exactly do you consider before approving and entrusting your heart to a man? His appearance, six packs, money? The truth is that most times, the focus is always on what you'll get and at such, many become so blinded by the good treat and the gifts, "the Lannisters' gifts" ('Game of Thrones' fans should relate). These are actually your doo...

Understanding the Working of Grace

By -
Image
Grace makes you supernatural, not moral. The ability to say no to evil or anything wrong morally isn't by grace but by conscience exercised. When Paul the apostle said in Titus 2:12 that grace teaches us to deny ungodliness, he is talking about the supernatural life grace gets us into. Not to steal or to avoid stealing is a moral thing. You don't need grace for that. You don't need grace in order to start talking good or bad. Your conscience is there to pilot you on such activities. Joseph didn't overcome Portiphar's wife by grace, because Joseph hadn't the Spirit in him. It wasn't grace that taught Joseph to eschewed the sex trap, but his conscience! An unbeliever can deny immortality, evil things and even barbaric attitudes, yet he or she doesn't know what grace is or hasn't be born again. You don't need grace to deny wrong acts! Many unbelievers are denying wrong acts on daily basis! However, to deny ungodliness is to live supernaturall...

The need for marriage between the Physical, Spiritual and Mental

By -

Free from what fought me mentally... I love this line by Kierra Sheard. Some of the battles we fight are not spiritual but mental. Even the devil knows that he has no access to your Spirit courtesy of salvation but still compensates himself in the mental realm. For one to operate fully at creations installed capacity, there is need for a marriage between the physical, spiritual and mental part of being. Knowing this, the devil is happy in causing a distortion in the flow and blending of these impulses. The greatest form of deliverance is not casting out a demon from a man, but loading him with knowledge. And you shall know the truth and it will make you free. I stand in my office and I decree freedom from every mental oppression, every force that prevents you from thinking at installed capacity, that prevents you from utilizing your mind to continue the process of creation, I command them to stop their activities in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. By: Raphael Donanu

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 underst...

Your job is to identify the problems of people and find a Solution to it

By -
Image
As an entrepreneur, your job is not to create problems for people. Your job is to identify the problems of people and find a solution to it. Listen to every conversation, on social media, forums, meetings, blog comments, etcetera. Pay attention to their questions, frustrations, complains, desires, goals, fears and dreams. It is from these emotions that you build products and services from. And when your sales copy contains the exact word these people use to vent their frustrations, you have won 90% of their attention. The other 10% would be determined by the benefits, urgency, pricy and other things that make people buy from you. So, you shouldn't spend time thinking about what niche to focus on. You shouldn't be thinking niche. You should be thinking problems and solutions. Whether you want to start a blog, a business, a podcast, a company or whatever. Let it be based on people's problems and desires. People do not care about your high sounding title. What they care...
