MATURITY AND AGE

Image
Don't mistake Beards for maturity. Don't mistake Puberty signs as maturity. Maturity is not defined by those things. Please listen to me on this. If after the first two paragraphs you read here, you're not intrigued; quit reading. You can be a 25year old baby! You can be a 40year old girl. (Not woman) You cab be a 50year old boy. (Not Man) We have people over 50 year but unwise and immature today; and i say this with utmost respect. It's true!  You see cases of a 50 year old raping a 10year old. Like what the heck? How do you explain it? If you come to a stage in your life  where you fail to take responsibility of your life, then you're still a baby. Only children need to be guided in everything they do, because we don't expect their reasoning to be perfect yet.  Maturity is a stage where you think, act and react reasonably and responsibly. If your latest beauty commendation is what you use to predict your maturity, i...

VALUES: Influence and Honor

Image
Everyone desires and quest for some level of respect, influence and authority.  We're mostly delighted by the sounds of Joy,  by the ecstasy of victory and by the achievement of enviable results. We love everything perfect even if we are far from perfect. We prefer to be Loved.  We prefer to be Rich. We prefer to be the ONE. We prefer to be at the top. We prefer to be the influencer.   We prefer the the titles, "honorable", " Excellency", "Leader", "Boss", " Mentor"... Every day we plan out our lives, even if we  do not plan. Yea, frankly speaking, whether you plan or not, you'll get a result. A popular saying that "if you fail to plan, you've planned to fail" is so damn true. Just as there's a reward for every action taken, there's also a reward for every "non-action" taken. Anyway, that's by the way.  So we all go out everyday to fulfil some daily functions, functions that most times determi...

GOD'S PLAN

Image
You know what happens to you when you sleep and have a very nice dream? Say, you dreamt and saw yourself driving a Porsche car. Or Imagine yourself standing on top of your three-storied Mansion in a hilly environ, where you can view the glamour of the earth as far as your eyes can capture. Or an imaginary honeymoon with your soulmate in Paris. Such experiences are wonderful, ain't they?  The excitement travels from your subconscious self into your physical body. You get up and recall the memory and become excited all by yourself but very angry that you woke up from it. You'd wish it doesn't end. Perhaps someone could just find a way to permanent your stay in there. Funny. I so much Love the story of Joseph from the Holy book . That passage of the Bible has really helped me understand about Dream, Purpose and Destiny more perfectly in conjunction with God's plans for everyone. God use Dreams sometimes to communicate his will and plans for us.  NB: Not all Dreams are f...

DON'T BE PRESSURED

Image
... For a period of time, I used to hate myself whenever I see people's achievements similar to my Dreams. I so much wanted to be successful that I want to cut as much time as possible to get it. The funny thing is that  90% of those I compare myself and results with are people older than I by far.. But nevertheless I wanted to get those results. It got to a point I couldn't even see any reason to go to school anymore. I felt like leaving school and focus on work to get these results quick. I visit my vision board frequently and analyse the routes to my dreams. I had too many things on my mind and so many goals to get. I was literally obsessed with results that I don't even check my age. Funny😊 I'm still in my twenties, but I measure up my life and goals to the standards of Great people, because I desire it.  Now this is not a bad thing. Infact, this phenomenon, if controlled and nurtured well, is one of the best approach to success;  but it brings unnecessary pressure...

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...
