True Love is about what You can add and make out of the other person's life

By -

Whether You are a female or male, You don't go into a relationship because of what You can get but because of what You can give. True love is not about what You can get from the other person, but about what You can add and make out of the life of the other person.

True love must not be parasitic. True love must never be one-sided. A parasitic relationship is an unhealthy relationship. If he takes You out, You also take him out once in a while. If he buys You stuff and gives You gifts, do the same. That is true love. Give and continue to give. Give your prayers, time, obedience, support, respect, money, coolheadedness, understanding, smiles, laugh, humility, loyalty, gentleness, counsels etc. Give and continue to give. That is true love!

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...

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

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...

If you expand your mind, you expand your life. • Life is a buffet... You get what you take (choose). • Sometimes you may not realize the lives you are touching, the impact you are making. Just keep doing what you do. Show up and serve wherever you are. Peter Ochuko Kajovo

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...

I got a video on my mobile which I watched over a week ago. It's a motivating one. The message on the video is from the album: "Feed your mind with Success (Motivational Speeches)" I'll share the message: There's a popular quote going around at the moment: The person you will be in 5 years is based on the books you read and the people you hang around with today This is quite true but it applies to everything else as well. The person you will be in the future is based on everything you do today ! The people you hang around with, but more so the people you listen to The opinions you believe The books you read or the videos you watch All the information you take in Positive or negative will affect your future The workouts you do or don't do: that will show up in the future. The foods you eat today will affect your future on a visual and energy level. The same is true with your thoughts and information . What you feed your mind will shape your f...

Quickly, how are you? Hope not as bad as the mentality of a Nigerian university graduate? If not, listen to me. ----- Was it not on the convocation arena of one of the 'big' Universities of the country that I asked my friend, Daniel, "Nna what next?" He looked at me with a readily astonished face and said: "O boy na NYSC nah". Two years after, he was left with nothing but waiting for Yakubu Gowon to call him up for NYSC. You see, thank God I have been fortunate enough to see the world out of where I was meant to be. Unfortunately also, I lived a lot of my life with people who were too traditional – People who are used to doing one thing the same way from the beginning of the life of their ancestors to the day they die. Growing up in Africa is worst than growing up in darkness. In fact, it's indescribable – the mental limitation of a typical African youth growing up in this third world. They see what they believe they cannot do. The only way to the de...
