Drop the Pretence!

By -

Have You found yourself pretending before God? Well, You may begin to think in the lines of hypocrisy but that's not what I'm taking about. Remember that step You were not willing to take but You just acted as though you were excited about doing it so You won't get God angry. Remember that Bible verse You have not come to believe but You pretended You did just to make God happy with You. I can go on and on but I think You get what I mean.

At this point I want to tell You to drop the pretence. The earlier You realize that God is okay with You being honest, the better for You. Even if your honesty reflects immaturity, don't worry. Tell God your doubts, tell Him those things You are skeptical about. Tell it to Him. Be honest about it and God won't send thunder and brimstone after You, rather He will teach You.
The Holy Spirit is our teacher, but He won't teach You if You go on pretending You know it. Drop the pretence and come into the realm of honesty with God. Besides, God sees through our pretences and bravado, so it makes no sense. God bless you. God loves you so much.

The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

Today, I'll share few of what I learnt from this inspiring book by Norman Vincent Peale. It's an amazing and inspiring book, which I feel a lot of persons have read. But if you haven't, it's worth checking out. It's amazing to know that Peale's book is still inspiring lives long after written, and after he's gone (Peale died in 1993 at the age of 95 years). • Nothing is inherently powerful. But WE are powerful, and we can give strength and power to whatever we choose to give such to. One's mind gives strength and power to circumstances, things, situations. And the more one's mind focus on something, it gives greater strength and power to such thing. And when strength and power is given to something, that thing has some control and authority even over us, the giver of the power, and would exercise that authority until one recognizes it and decides to take away such authority. It's then left for us to decide what we should give greater strength a...

What Innovation can do to your life

I came across this piece and felt I should share it here. Thumbs up to the original author! It's a talent that everyone has, yet they think they don't. The power of innovation. If you've ever marvelled at somebody's creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten were not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential. You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or to never commit the same mistake again? It's the same with innovation. It takes a bit of practice and a lot of time before this mind function comes easily when called. This article will teach you a few tips on how to bring innovation into your life. Don't listen to what other people say. Follow the beat of your own drum. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring cacophony to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original ide...

You may be consuming high amounts of sugar and it's unhealthy for you

By -
Image
A lot of us must have heard that much sugar is not healthy, but a good number of persons still consume a large amount of it. Sugar is a carbohydrate and we have simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) and more complex forms of it (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The sugar we consume is mostly in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. When we consume sugar, it is metabolized to give us energy, but when high amounts of it is consumed, the body converts to body fats and store them. Sugar (sucrose) contains about 50% fructose, and fructose, which is actually the sweet part of sugar, responsible for the sweetness we taste when we take sugar is not good for us. Fructose is metabolized only by the liver which means there's a lot of work for one's liver to do. It is toxic to the liver especially in those who consume large amount of sugar (the human body is not meant to consume so much fructose). Also, sugar is ADDICTIVE due to fructose. Fructose suppress...

Keep Showing Up is a motivational speech from a motivational video by FearlessMotivation.com ----- If no one invests in you, INVEST IN YOURSELF. If no one believes in you, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Even if you don't see the results right away, KEEP SHOWING UP, until you see the results. Even if you don't see the results for a very, very long time... KEEP SHOWING UP. What if the results don't come. They're not going to come if you quit. KEEP SHOWING UP. I'm tired,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I don't feel like it,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I can't see any results,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I don't know where to start. JUST START, DO SOMETHING. Take that FIRST STEP. Every step you take adds up. And sooner or later, you'd look back and see that you're at the top of the staircase. It doesn't matter if you can't see the top from where you are. Just know that if you keep climbing, if you keep learning HOW, you can get to the next level. You'll soon be exactly wher...

Eggshells (Episode 1)

Only Jessica Wilson understood him. Stanley was a man of short temper. He could hardly control himself when he was angry. He personally disliked getting angry but it seemed that getting angry was unavoidable for him. This time, it was his car. His mechanic, Yusuf had "tampered" with its engine a few days ago. Stanley had paid him #5,000 for his services even though he knew deep down that he was been overcharged. He had no choice. Getting an honest mechanic these days was like finding a needle in a haystack. His only console, however, was that Yusuf was pretty good at his job. He was not the best around but he was far from being mediocre. Stanley had been called over the phone by his secretary. The call was to let him know that a certain amount of money had been deducted from the company's account by the bank to cover for the loan which he received earlier. Stanley was more than furious to hear that. He immediately excused himself from the meeting he was involved in and m...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

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...

Happiness is You

By -

So there are a lot of myths, facts, and opinions out there about happiness. My intention, however, is not to support or discredit any one of them you may have come in contact with before. While it is true that happiness is relative, it is also true that personal happiness is what you make of life. Many people in the world today have different goals and ambitions. There is something which is nonetheless common to almost all of us and that is personal happiness. I have learnt that it is impossible to control the happenings around us but what we can control is our disposition towards these happenings. The major mistake a person can commit is to expect that life will always go as planned or as expected. For instance, you may have planned to wake up at 6 am today but somehow you didn't and woke up at 8 am instead. That was not what you wanted or had planned but that was what happened nonetheless. This is a simple analogy of how the plans of human beings are thwarted by unforeseen cir...
