The Best Way to really Prepare for the Future is to live Today Well

By -

David didn't know he was going to be the king of Israel until Samuel showed up and anointed him. Nobody drummed it into his ears to discover or find his purpose. He simply loved and lived for God, obeying and serving Jesse his father and polishing his skills – playing the harp and slinging.

Today, we call these things skills, but I don't think David saw them like that. He probably learnt how to sling stones as a way of protecting his sheep from the lions and the bears. He played the harp as a way of entertaining himself and his fellow shepherds while they were at the bush. He wasn't doing any of these for the palace because he didn't know he would ever be there, but he did them well. He simply made the most of his situations.

He didn't let the anticipation of what tomorrow could bring deny him the joy and glory of really living today. Yet, God had His eyes on him and when the right time came, He, God, began to move men and materials in his favor. So, I'll enjoin you to do your best today. Forget about tomorrow; the Lord Jesus said: today's trouble is sufficient for it. The best way to really prepare for the future is to live today well.

FEAR (from a motivational video)

By -

This inspiration is from a motivational video - FEAR by: Younes Marxieu. ----- I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how disappointed it might have been as you've been working toward that dream. But here's what I know - that dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible. See, sometimes we can say I can do that. But what we can't say that it's possible, that I can have my dream, as we run towards it, as we work on it day in and day out. And most people don't work on their dreams why? One is because of fear. ----- And that's why you'll never be what you wanna be. That's why you'll never have what you wanna have. That's why you'll never accomplish what... ----- Success guys, are a very, very lonely road man. On that road you're not gonna see too many friends.

The Love and Positivity Initiative – LPI

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...

Happiness and You (Dopamine)

By -
Image
Hi Reader! Hope you're doing good? I was checking up on happiness and how it relates to the body and brain, chemically. I found some interesting stuffs that I'll love to share. There are four chemical substances that are related to happiness in the body: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins (DOSE). There could be more than four but these four are major. My interest today is on Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which influences "reward-motivated behavior " in relation to happiness. By reward-motivated behavior, it is responsible for the excitement one feels when there's a task to be done with a reward attached. This reward can be a goal to be attained or landmark to be set. It's just like something good is coming out from carrying out a task or action, or something new and exciting will be learnt or gained after undergoing an experience or completing a task. You know how good, happy and excited you feel in a situation like this? The brain rele...

Your Advantage is in Your Difference and Uniqueness

By -

Don't kill yourself over something that doesn't work for You. God created us different. Our advantage is in our difference. Don't kill yourself over relationships that don't work, not everyone will date for two years before marriage; yours might be for a month and it happens. If you are not happy, leave it, wait till you find joy. Allow God pilot your life, don't kill yourself because you have already defined a definite pattern in your mind as the path to Success. Maybe you wanted to start a business or job immediately after school, what if God wants you to go back to school first? Please understand your uniqueness in God. No two gathering of believers is exactly the same. Every church has a unique assignment bothering on the spiritual need per time as a part of the ultimate goal of the Body of Christ on earth. Stop jumping from place to place seeking for "e dey happen ministries". Sit back, relax and ask yourself, "Which aspect of my spiritual expe...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
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...

Step Up Revolution (2012)

It is another interesting movie to talk about. It's a dance movie starring Ryan Guzman (Sean Asa), Misha Gabriel (Eddy, co-leader of the Mob with Sean), Kathryn McCormick (Emily Anderson), Peter Gallagher (William Bill Anderson), among others. I think you guys will love the movie. As usual, I'll share the lessons I learnt from the movie. • It's really cool seeing the team Sean and Eddy put together. They brought different talented dancers together so they could express their voices as a team and make a bigger difference collectively. It's also great having a team of people who share same goals and who are committed. They didn't just gave themselves a voice, they also gave a lot of persons a voice and at the end, their voices were heard. A lot of times, team work with a positive team spirit ensures more positive, less stressful impact and makes the journey entertaining and fulfilling. One could go faster alone, but with a team, no matter how small the team is, the...

Late night eating is unhealthy for you

Late night eating is a common habit that have become integrated into the lives of many people. Lot of persons work till late at night, and have to take late dinner. Even persons who are aware of its unhealthiness sometimes find it difficult to stop. However, everyone wants a healthy life and have to promote healthy eating to achieve that. Having late dinners, or snacking late at night may not really affect a night worker whose day is night and vice versa, but it's unhealthy for one who sleeps at night. At night, one doesn't expend much energy, and the body's metabolism is slower and thus, having late dinners, especially eating heavy food and overeating can result in weight gain, and increased blood sugar levels which can be a predisposition to chronic diseases, including heart attack and stroke. Also, late night dinner can affect one's sleep cycle. The process of digestion can result in one having difficulties sleeping, waking up during sleep, and there may be need fo...

Success Story: Stephen King

By -

I will do a short one on Stephen King, highlighting a key factor in his success. Stephen King, currently 69 years (born 1947) is a successful writer, who has published over 50 novels and 200 short stories. He published several of his books under the pen name, Richard Bachman. His books has sold over 350 million copies worldwide. Some of his books has also won king several awards. That was just a short summary of King's Success. But as we should know, behind every success lies some failures. And most often, the failures comes at the start of that great thing. Once one can stay strong and fight till the breakthrough comes, then the success gradually begins officially. King's first novel "Carrie" was rejected by 30 publishers. One of the publishers said: "We are not interested in science fiction which deals with negative utopias. They do not sell." He almost gave up, he threw the manuscripts for the novel in the trash (He was 20 years old), but his wife, T...
