GRATITUDE NEXT TO HAPPINESS

Image
GRATITUDE A small boy saw a toy Car and then went ahead to inform his Dad about it. "Dad, I saw a nice little Car with multiple colors like that of a rainbow at the toy shop down the street. I saw it on my way home from school today and I really Love it. Would you buy one for me, please?" Dad stooped down and grabbed his waist, "Offcourse my boy. I'll do anything for you." Meanwhile, Dad doesn't plan to. The boy was very excited by his Dad's response.  That night, before going to bed, he went to his Dad's room to say Goodnight. When he got there, he thanked him for promising to buy him the toy.  The next morning, when Dad was about to prepare him for school, he said: "Thanks Dad for the toy car." Dad smiled at him but surprised. He wondered why he said that, he had not bought it for him yet. He repeated the same when he came back from school and before the went to bed that night. He continued thanking his Dad daily f...

THE PRICE BEFORE THE PRIZE

Image
Wooing a lady these days seems to be very easy, but during the days of my grandfather, getting a girl's attention is like trying to pound a corn on a table. You need to see the various techniques and methodologies these guys learned to get the lady to even atleast notice them, but the pain and efforts is worth it after he eventually win her over. This is a true prize won by paying a Price. Here the bride-price he pays is nothing compared to the labor he went through and emotional turmoil he had to endure for several months (some for years). The Prize. Many times we prefer to calculate the fastest way to achieve a result and we fail to realize that, beyond the beauty of the result there are other things that makes it worth celebrating. Someone I respect a lot ones said to me that he doesn't have much regard for anyone who does not have a track record of some experience before attaining a result. In other words, you gain more respect when people see or read through your re...

THE IMPACT OF OUR CHOICES

Image
In the beginning, God Created everything. There's a real repercussion for every decision we make, for every choice we make, and whatever it is, it has a  real impact not only on our lives, but also everything around us. It always seems very easy to make a decision, to take an action, to undergo a project; It always seems not to be a big deal to make a choice to improve ourselves and to achieve desirable results. We most times make decisions innocently and with the best intentions, but it doesn't always turn out well for us. Many times we wish we didn't make those decisions or were a little more patient before doing it. It's okay, but the guilt and remorse doesn't change anything except helping us to be wiser next time. Whatever the consequences of any choices we make, it is ours to bare. Whatever our decision is on anything, it is our responsibility. Everything good on earth is as a result of the good choices people have made, and every u...

YOUR HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN

Image
I often imagine why many people ignore what will give them joy and security but decide to opt for what will make them restless and broken. Then I thought.. 'INFLUENCE'. The media has a way of persuading you to engage in tasks that wouldn't benefit your life, atmost it will give you a momentary glare of pleasure. So you can see someone make a particular pose on the Internet and you spend the rest of your day rehearsing how to make it pleasurable for you, only to realize you've wasted both your time and strength, because you'll eventually find out that it's reasonless. However, if and when we see a recommendation that show us the path to the life we imagined and Dream of, we most times reject or ignore because they often don't seem like it, they don't resemble the paths we've captured in our memories for that feat. Any procedures that doesn't guarantee us an instant result is not worth our time, we all want everything easy and readily available at ...

AN IMPACT WITHIN

Image
If your influence doesn't start from your environment, then you're not truly Influential. If your value doesn't begin from your neighborhood, then you are not so valuable. If people around you doesn't see your importance, it means you have less value than you proud yourself to have. A life of responsibility is what I preach always. I believe if everyone takes it upon themselves to correct the wrongs around us, then we will have only few anomalies in the world. We've been taught to let things be. We've been giving a mindset of neglecting things that doesn't concern us; as long as it doesn't harm us. We have grown to overlook anything that doesn't affects us negatively. We should understand that everything that happen around us is our business. Let's stop choosing what to get involved in and what to avoid. The earth belongs to us, we have been giving the territories of the earth by the Creator. So Everything that happens on it is our respo...

Input and Output

There's an irreplaceable and undeniable connection between our PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE. You're who/what you're today because of your past decisions, actions and efforts, and who you'll be tomorrow is a function of how you invest today. Every timeline of our loves are connected, you can't avoid them, it was programmed to be so by the creator. Its no magic, one of my mentors would say.. - 'Its input, then output'. Your results will always resemble your actions and decisions; You'll  always get results of whatever exams you've written; You'll always harvest whatever you sow. Its impossible to dodge the reward of your actions, whether you want it or not, you'll get it. There's a tiny imaginary line pulling you to your future through your daily actions and commitments, and the most terrifying thing is that, you won't know until you get there, then you'll remember, this was what I did to get this. That's why we have memorie...

Take the Charge

Image
Have you ever felt any pressure of bringing something to the table? Perhaps an idea, a solution, a significant suggestion. Have you ever had the urge to deliver result, to come up with an idea? We live today amongst different associations, companies and families, within these groups. There are always going to be decisions to be made, needful suggestions about methodologies, about ways of enhancement of one thing or the other; and usually there are people that are most dependent on to deliver these solutions. So some members of the team are phlegmatic to doing same, they feel no urge, no pressure to deliver solutions and are mostly Okay with it. If nobody has ever given you a responsibility in your team, don't you think you should give yourself one? You see a pressing need in your team and you feel no drive at all to proffer a solution to it? And you're okay with that? Perhaps you're scared of been ignored and not regarded serious when you do, perhaps you've...
