Life is all about priorities

By -

Few minutes ago (on the day this was written), a lady accosted me at a shopping mall (Market square at Trans-Amadi). We had an interesting conversation even though we just met. She asked for my contact address....

She was like.. "Since you stay around this axis...may I know your place? So I could visit tomorrow?

She asked for my number, I requested to take hers instead and promised to give her a call tonight (I knew where it was all heading)

Was she pretty? Of course she was my spec.
Will I call her? Absolutely not!
Why?
She wasn't in the plan this year. There's no space for distractions.

Life is all about priorities. If everything is important, then nothing is important.
Some will say, 'Eh..what if she doesn't have any intentions... She just want to be friends'

I hear! Eliminate every possibility of 'What ifs'.

Young guys and ladies in our 20s. This is the only time we are permitted to be selfish with our time so that when we are in our 40s, we'll have so much to give.

Don't live life like a baloon. Don't be 'felele'. Be intentional!

Our poor parents have nothing to give now because they were not selfish with their Youth.

We have to do this Ourselves

By -

I really wish I could say this out rather than have it written out. So help me read it out. Do It Yourself! I'm going to tell you something. Some years back, things were so difficult for my parents and us. It was the most difficult part of our lives. Then my dad lost entirely all his businesses. It was hard on him. Everything was gone. My mum had a clothing business she was doing. Everything was on her. Every responsibility was on her. She had entirely no choice but to carry this two-in-one cross herself. It came to a point where she had to take her lifeline. We were going to join in the struggle. I was ten while my younger brother was eight. She would give us part of the clothe to go through many streets to sell. Sometimes it took us hours to sell one of the clothes. It didn't matter who sold me or my brother but we were happy anytime we exchanged clothe for money. I was the boss. Sometimes it looked like we've walked so long and didn't sell a thing maybe due to the ...

Accepting Vulnerability

Have you ever felt stuck and alone about a situation with regards to your life, career, finances, etcetera; and had absolutely no clue how to get out of it? If you have ever felt this way, or still do – you’re not alone on this journey and the answer is not as difficult as you might think. I have realized that one of the major challenges we face during this phase is not the unavailability of solution – but rather our inability to share our concerns with others. We need to understand that whenever we find ourselves in difficult or challenging situations – we don’t have to get through it alone and should be brave enough to ask for help. Personally, I grew up thinking I had to figure everything out as my upbringing exposed me to making decisions and doing things alone. This helped me in many ways, however, I later realized that it conditioned me to think I needed to know all the answers. I guess this was making me a perfectionist in a way – always wanting to figure things out by myse...

What Jealousy (and envy) points out about You

By -
Image
We must all know what Jealousy is. I doubt there's anyone who hasn't had that feeling in his or her entire life. When this feeling is recognized and is under the control of the individual, it's more preferable, to having this feeling control one. As I'll always say, everything can be viewed from the two sides of a coin, the positive and the negative side. One's ability to blend in both sides and turn both into one's advantage is Great! What important stuffs does jealousy point out about a person? If you always find yourself being jealous of other persons successes, or you tend to always feel less of yourself whenever you see or hear about the success of a friend, colleague, any other person; or you seem to put on a sort of unhealthy personal pressure that tends to want to make you surpass the success of another person whose achievement, you may be jealous (and envious) about... then you've got to check out yourself. If you've got dreams, goals, a vis...

I Pulled The trigger and Shot Him Twice

By -
Image
Yes, I murdered him in cold blood!! Then I looked back and saw him still walking, still following me, then I decided to rip him apart and buried him thinking he would stop following, but he never did. He got up from mother earth and kept moving at my back........ I was becoming uneasy and frightened, so I decided not to look back anymore.... He was still following me, but I never looked back!!!.... Then, I never saw him again....!!! ----- That's how the Past acts. It will always be there as long as you look back at it...... But when u begin to look straight at the future, You wouldn't have to border about it anymore. It vanishes without you even noticing. Eze Victor Obinna

Use Your Power of Choice, and use it Maximally

By -
Image
When the dark clouds of doubt, anger or worry begin to move upon you, steady yourself in the knowledge that in time, the storm will pass. Emotions are transient and temporary. But, the more one has engaged in a particular pattern of thought, the more difficult it becomes to override these habitual patterns. This is why it is very important for You to immediately begin using your power of choice, to feed the good wolf, or the higher mind. Habit can be your worst enemy, or your best friend. Over time, one can habituate their mind to higher vibrational thought patterns. The mind can be habituated to feelings of compassion, gentleness, empathy, and even calmness and confidence in the face of uncertainty and tribulation. Your future begins with your next thought. Even now as you read this, the power is completely yours. The next second belongs to you, and no one can control how you choose to think at any time. No one can make you feel any certain way. Only you choose how you feel or how yo...

Let the Evidence Confirm Your Belief

By -
Image
We all know how it plays out, when a person is arrested and taken to the Court. Usually, they are accused of a crime but considered Innocent, until proven Guilty. In court, the case is tried. The accusers (plaintiff) try to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are guilty of the offence(s) they have been charged with, while the  lawyer(s) (the defendant) try to defend the accused and get them cleared of the charges. The Judge then passes a verdict of "guilt" or "discharged and acquitted" at the end of the trial depending on the amount of evidence for or against the accused. Normally, the accused will also be allowed to testify but ultimately, EVIDENCE is the chief determinant of the verdict to be passed. Now let's do something with this analogy I just pointed out. Let's say for instance, you get arrested and charged with the crime of "being a Christian". Yes, let's say you are charged with the crime of "being a Christian", and you ...

The beauty of life

By -

Life is full of beauty, perhaps we've all failed to recognize it. The bumble bee, though naturally overweight to fly, still proves that indeed science has flaws. The resilience of a single mother of four that refuses to believe that a disadvantaged background amounts to a dysfunctional future for her kids. The smile from a newborn that arrives in a strange world, but believes he's going to be just fine. The undying zeal in the heart of a poor ghetto kid, though labelled "less likely to succeed", takes destiny into his own hands, fired up with the conviction that the world has a place for him. Smell the morning dew, Enjoy the sight of the sunrise, Refuse to follow the crowd mentality, Shun conventional wisdom, 99% of the time its wrong. Fight for your reality, you might not be fully awake to fight for your dreams. Strive to be a meaningful specific, not a wandering generality. Be obsessed with your passion and stay positive. Be happy to be alive....
