Days Of Our Lives

Days Of Our Lives

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
---Henry David Thoreau

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
---Eleanor Roosevelt

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
---Dalai Lama

The days of our lives should be as the river flows into the sea, an adventure that makes us come to a greater awareness of something bigger than us ‘the purpose of mankind’, living together open-minded and loving one another as brothers and sisters.

Today, we live in a world where lies and deceit is worn as garment by people yet they boldly parade themselves as the all-righteous. Something remain unshaken, those who live their lives calling black white may accumulate great riches, live for many decades and gain access to the mightiest palaces, still peace will elude them, while those who chose to live by the truth and lead a righteous life may not last forever on the face of the earth but will attain the highest height of inner peace and live a blissful and fulfilled life.

The days of our lives should be to stay united and merry with one another but the selfishness in us keeps our hearts far away from each other. The act we pull every day is to pretend we are fine with one another even when our hearts are bitter towards another; we fool each other with our fake love for another just to have our way and get things done. As i say this, you may begin to feel bad of your pretentious attitude towards people, but i have felt same way many times, this is what we have gotten ourselves into, we all have been caught in the claw of deception, pretense and lies for each other, we just don’t seem to understand why we do it but we keep doing it. Often, you may have said to yourself i am a truthful and frank person but the people you relate with will eventually drag you into the mess, many times you give in because you want to be peaceful or have your way because your so called sincerity and truthfulness is getting you nowhere and creating for you more enemies, to settle it all, we then say the world is for the wise, you say the truth when it is convenient, keep mute when you feel unsafe or paint an acceptable picture when you have no choice but have to give your opinion and gradually you pull off the helmet of truth on your head.

Kings And Queens

Kings And Queens

He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
---John Milton

“I once knew a man who was heir to the throne of a great kingdom, he lived as a ranger and fought his destiny to sit on a throne but in his blood he was a king. I also knew a man who was the king of a small kingdom, it was very small and his throne very humble but he and his people were all brave and worthy conquerors. And I knew a man, who sat on a magnificent throne of a big and majestic kingdom, but he was not a king at all, he was only a cowardly steward. If you are the king of a great kingdom, you will always be the only king though you live in the bushes. If you are the king of a small kingdom, you can lead your people in worth and honor and together conquer anything. And if you are not a king, though you sit on the king’s throne and drape yourself in many fine robes of silk and velvet, you are still not the king and you will never be one.”
---C. JoyBell C.

“My Crown is in my heart, not on my head:
Not deck'd with Diamonds, and Indian stones:
Nor to be seen: my Crown is call'd Content,
A Crown it is, that seldom Kings enjoy.”
---William Shakespeare

Man have lost their ideal identity in the world today, our focus has been diverted to things that would less serve us, which has corrupted the fine purpose of our existence. We have more troubles and worries in our lives more than the peace and joy that should decorate our lives. You and i strive everyday to conquer each other and be above one another, man lost the understanding that they don’t have to conquer their neighbor but do the most profitable and fulfilling thing, check and conquer yourself and you will rule your world as the sun and moon rules over the earth.

I see we need one another, the moment I lose you or you lose me, life begins to lose its sweetness as when salt loses its saltiness. The world stops to go around when our life is no longer locked around each other, everything experience disarray and life is no longer meaningful if we continue to struggle with one another. Insistence in struggle for dominion over one another will bring us no blessing but a curse, a failed humanity.

Every man and woman is a king and a queen who should learn to conquer himself or herself rather than seeking dominion over the neighbor, the royal road to peace in life is to conquer your inner man. To be a true king and queen that you are, you must be ready to conquer yourself because in every man are two men ‘the king and the fool’ and in every woman lies ‘the queen and the fool’. The fool in the man and the woman is in action every time you struggle with the next man or woman to you, to debase them and be seen to have dominion, the king and queen in you is in display when you fight to overcome your inner man and refuse to strive with your neighbor to be the most recognized. I say to you, that you are indeed already a king and a queen; you can only display true royalty when you have succeeded in discovering, conquering, and re-inventing yourself every single day of your life.

I have a friend whose name is Rajan from Nepal; he has been a very nice friend and has a good heart. On a particular day, we were walking and chatting, suddenly i was pushed to ask for the meaning of his name, when I asked him then he said to me ‘Rajan means king’, I was wowed anyway at the meaning and I said to him ‘you are indeed a king’. He then said to me ‘thank you but do you know at first I was uncomfortable with the name?’ I was surprised anyway to hear this, so I asked him why? He replied ‘when i was a bit grown up, I went to my grandmother and asked for the meaning of my name, she said to me it means king, and I asked her why she gave me such name because we don’t come from a royal family and i will not become a king someday, my grandmother replied ‘you are a king, to be a king you don´t have to be a ruler or rule the people or any country, you have to conquer yourself, your enemies are inside of you like anger, greed, selfishness, defeat them and don´t let them conquer you, a real king is one who conquer himself rather than conquering others’ and since then I have been happy with my name’.

Sailing Through The Dark

Sailing Through The Dark

  “The year you were born marks only your entry into the world. Other years where you prove your worth, they are the ones worth celebrating.” 

---Jarod Kintz

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

---Aristotle Onassis

There is a Japanese proverb that literally goes 'Raise the sail with your stronger hand,' meaning you must go after the opportunities that arise in life that you are best equipped to do.

---Soichiro Honda

“Good times are a reminder and a reward for dealing with the difficult and challenging times we all go through. The trick is to celebrate the good times in advance of the difficult times. Always remember, good times await you after the difficult times pass….” 
---James A. Murphy

The journey of a man in life is definitely through the dark, we have no idea what the future holds in it for us, there are seasons of peace and celebrations, and periods of turbulence and worries, but through all, we try to survive, get refined and come out alive and blessed, otherwise going faint-hearted, you chicken out of the race, get bruised, broken and covered in shame. The realest way to go about life is to be determined to get blown by the wind but not lose your feet, gather the spoils that came with the storm; pick up wisdom and knowledge from the experience and make it your breastplate as you approach the future.

The world of man is weaved with the unknown, we live to understand its mystery. When a man and woman decide to have a child of their own, neither of them knows what could be the sex of the child and how many children may result from the sexual intercourse? The innocent child(ren) that comes from the union also has no knowledge of the would-be parent. From the conception of the baby in the womb, all human beings start their life in the dark. The foetus goes through stages as the baby is fully formed swimming in an unknown environment and the survival of this innocent baby becomes dependent upon the mother. As life may have it, some babies die in the womb or some makes it to life but the mother dies at or before birth, these are sorrowful events that we pray God forbid it happen. The lives of you and I starts with struggles in the dark bloody bag of life where we pray and wish to escape our one-man world to make it out to the universe, the world of humans where unknown to us are greater battles to be fought and tougher challenges to tackle. We are totally unaware of what we would become or become of us, we are uniformed of trials and woe that may betide us, and we have no knowledge of our victory, success, fulfillment and joy that may have no bound. We are the sailor fully armed by our creator sailing through the dark waters of life who is ignorant of his capacity to sail through even in high winds.

I want to congratulate you and I for coming to the world, i salute our bravery to accept the invitation of our parents, swam in blood for 9 months (more or less) and survived this period, came out to life, amazed as families and friends welcomed us with smiles and laughter, and as innocent as we are, we responded with cry and tears of joy which is our simple expression of ‘oh I made it through the dark and pool of blood to life’. I sincerely want to say to you that even for having gone through that stage and made it to life, you are a victor.

I Run Even If It’s Raining

I Run Even If It’s Raining

“I run because long after my footprints fade away, maybe I will have inspired a few to reject the easy path, hit the trails, put one foot in front of the other, and come to the same conclusion I did: I run because it always takes me where I want to go.” 

---Dean Karnazes

“Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grief which we endure help us in our marching onward.”

---Henry Ford

“Remember even though the outside world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face and smile back at you.”

--Anna Lee

“Though it may rain cats and dogs, I will never stop running.” This has been one of the principles that hold my life together. I solidly believe that the purpose of your existence transcend the suffering, the setbacks and the challenges of this life, if you could refuse to look at the horror of the two-headed dragon emitting fire from its mouth, you will have great feat and fulfill your purpose and dreams in life.

Many times when I look back at several events that arose in my life and posed itself to have dashed all my hopes but I grew through them and came out stronger and having a bright promising future, it gives me a clear understanding of how life goes by its gimmicks to decide who is fit to carry on to the next phase of trials and confrontations that lands us into greater glory and fulfillment. Life has never been cheaply easy; it takes confidence and courage to battle till the saying ‘victory at last’.

Time comes in everyone’s life when there is rains of the usually unwanted trials, challenges, confrontation and all forms of problems that is supposedly believed to be impossible to triumph over, the only way to overcome is to keep running till the rain is over, if you stop, it soaks your life, make you cold and sick till you lose your feet and breaks you down, but if you keep running, God will give you the strength to see you through and commands the universe to open the door to the hut where you get a fine new garment of victory that beautifies your life and make you worthy to stand among great men that have travelled the same journey. When we overcome trials and confrontations, we become triumphant; there is no other way around it. It is either you never stop running when it is raining and when thunderstorm gives all its threat, till there is sunshine again and you can dwell in the green pasture or remain at a spot because you are scared to run, then you get battered by the rain and carried away by flood to a place of desolation and regrets. When it rains cats and dogs, keep running, the rain will soon be over and the dark cloud will clear away and the sun will shine and you can smile again.

The tougher the challenges people encounter and overcome; the greater the glory that comes with it. The higher the price you pay for every situations of your life the bigger the prize you get out of it. Seek easy path and you will end in obscurity and mediocrity, choose the tough road and you will definitely land yourself among the people of brave and great personality. I hope you will begin to see that the tough times in your life are necessary to catapult you to that great life you have always imagined, see that your tribulation and adversity has not come to break you but to make you, all you need to do is stay strong. Go ask people who have moved from rags to riches, those who have fought their way from grass to grace, their stories and testimonies are seated on great trials and challenges. If you want to be at the top and live a life of meaning be ready to fight and overcome battles.

Our setbacks and pains help us to become braver and wiser to handle greater things, our confrontations and challenges are the systematic element that life uses to build our character. Life is a chain of experience that if well gone through makes us wiser, stronger and greater. Life is a field of transformation, where the weak becomes strong, and the poor becomes rich, the last becomes first, because they refuse to let their situations make a mess of them.

Even When I Cry !!!

Even When I Cry !!!

You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say, 'You know what? I'm giving up, I don't care.' And then you go to bed and you wake up and it's a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again.

---Nicole Scherzinger

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

---Maya Angelou

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

---Jim Rohn

Life is battle after battles, in the midst of it we tend to lose hope, get broken and cry but when you pick yourself up, move on with courage and faith to triumph, and wipe away your tears of pain and agony determined to turn it to tears of joy and victory, you undoubtedly become a champion.

One of the seal i have chosen to put on my mind, shouts loud ‘Cry if you want to but even when you cry, don’t lose the strength to combat, overcome and laugh’. Many times i cry in the corner of my room but this is where I get the strength to progress, when I cry, the veil over my sight disappears and the power to visualize better is restored to me. The moments i cry spark the beginning of reinvention for me, it is the opening of a new chapter for clearer visualization and energy to pursue, overtake and acquire. When i cry, my blocked head is re-opened to meditate on how bright, blissful and promising my future is, my crying moment is an awakening moment.

Never cry to break yourself down, cry to wake yourself up from your longtime slumber. I do believe if life is all about laughing, then people will have no reason to think of the consequence of their actions, when we are aware of the outcomes of our decisions, actions and attitudes towards life, we do everything we can to appreciate our happiness and joy, when we mistakenly lose it, we fight hard to get it back because it is the medicine that heals our soul.

We get our greatest joy from been fulfilled, and our fulfillment comes from the activities of our everyday life, man do not need the biggest things in life to be fulfilled, it comes from those simple things that happens to us every minutes of our lives. The simple truth is that, when the small things we don’t pay attention to on daily basis fails, then we realize their importance to our happiness and fulfillment. I can’t forget how happy and fulfilled I was on a day when i was very late to catch a bus to where I have an important meeting, and the connecting bus to the place will come in another 8 minutes, i became terribly worried because i have 14 minutes to catch up with the main bus, i said to myself, it’s time to run, i ran for several kilometers, my heart pumped really hard and my whole system was heated, i wanted to stop at some point but i said to myself don’t give up. I got there exactly at the time the bus had shut the door to go, fortunately for me the driver saw me 30 meters away, waited for me and when i got to my sit, i had great joy and the sweat of fulfillment was all over me. One lesson I learnt from that day’s experience is that ‘whatever hopeless situation I find myself that causes me to cry, even when i cry I will not lose the strength to fight, pursue and achieve my vision and dreams because i know somewhere somehow there are supernatural forces aiding my movement because they see i don’t give up but keep trying’. Keep to your mind this portion of the Bible, Deut. 31:8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Anger: Rid Yourself Of It

Anger: Rid Yourself Of It

A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

---Proverbs 19:11

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

---Buddha

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

---Aristotle

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

---Ralph Waldo Emerson

Man can either make the world a beautiful and peaceful place by simple display of good humor for themselves or turn it to an awful and desolate ground by showing an uncontrollable anger towards each other. Anger makes the beautiful turn ugly, breaks the made, and stops at nothing to turn the sweet to bitter. Anger is the unseen fire in man that burns anyone who allows a little switch in emotion to kindle it in them and also leaves scars on those that encounter the fume.

According to Horace, ‘anger is a short madness’ , this proves  that whenever anyone gets angry, they certainly lose their real self and begins to do things they would never do when they are in their sane state. At the time of anger, we spit fire, voice out foolish things and take desperate actions with an unsound mind. Anger pushes man out of the do’s zone and kicks them into the pool of the don’t(s), where regrets and bitterness is the prize of the actions taken.

Anger is normal in human, but it is only healthy for our lives when it is wisely controlled, the moment it is out of our control, it becomes destructive. Anger is no strength but weakness for any man that allows it to remote their emotions. Anger is quick to destroy a sweet long friendship, beautiful marriages, career, and even lives of the people who live at its mercy. The quality of life we live is dependent upon our ability to put our anger under tight control. Our patience rather than anger makes us to be more glorified than a warrior; a man who conquers a city should not expect the blessings that a man of self-control gets.

For many years i suffered from anger, i know within me that i hate to be angry, i feel really happy when i am at peace with people in my life and i don’t want anything for whatsoever reason to terminate the joy i gain from it. Often, i try to do everything i could at my power not to wrong and hurt people in my life or do things that display me stepping on their toes and expecting others to treat me well, the same way i do to them. One thing i refused to know on time is that if you don’t hurt people they may possibly hurt you, and when some people hurt you, it doesn’t mean their actions are completely intentional. And after coming to understanding of some things in life, i have asked myself many times, how i am so sure i don’t offend or hurt people with my so called values, choices, principles, decisions, actions and attitudes ? Finding an answer to this, helped me come to a conclusion that ‘my own best food could be my neighbor’s poison and vice-versa’ this makes us different people existing in each other’s world, we just have to accept each other’s imperfection and grow together in love.

Many developed the habit of anger as result of the kind of home they come from or due to the environment they grew up in.

Kindness: Best Portion Of Man’s Life

 Kindness: Best Portion Of Man’s Life

 

 “The best portion of a good man’s life. His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”
---William Wordsworth

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

---Dalai Lama

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

---Mark Twain

There is a special feeling that people experience when someone is kind to them or when they are kind to another person, it creates an atmosphere of love. Kindness is the glue that holds you and i in each other’s world. Kindness is the expectation of every man from our neighbor; it is the string that ties humanity. Kindness beautifies mankind.

It will surprise you to know that many people around you even those that are smiling and perceived to have a perfect good life have bleeding wounds in their life that only that expression of kindness from you can stop the bleeding and heal their wound, the heart of every living man cries for a touch of kindness. The best way to express love towards each other is kindness, a simple act of kindness may be insignificant to you but it is unforgettable for those you do it to. The best way to register yourself in the heart of any man is to be kind or cruel to them, kindness begets love as cruelty breeds hatred, whichever you choose to exhibit will determine how colorful and bright or how void and dark your life is.

Has it ever occurred to you that many good things that walk into your life are as a result of kindness from people in your life? Be it the person you know or the ones you have no idea of their existence, our continuity in life is fueled by the kindness of people that are connected to us far and wide. Human beings begins their experience of kindness from the day we are conceived by our mothers, kudos to the super women that are kind and brave enough to keep the baby in their womb for the period of 9 months or even more, goes through labor pains and delivers the baby, takes care of the child with the awesome father , both nurturing, guarding and guiding the child through childhood till he/she is strong enough to handle life, so many babies have been denied the chance to come to the world and contribute their quota to the betterment of mankind. We experience kindness from our siblings and friends, thumbs up to those who are kind and bold enough to adopt orphans to become one of their children or to even erase their own very childlessness. Kindness remains the sunshine that brings light to our lives since the beginning of our life on earth till we pass away.

Like it is always said that what goes around comes around, a show of kindness always have a lasting impact on our lives from generation to generations. Kindness often has a ripple effect because it generates magnetic force that attracts others to be kind to us too, kindness is not done for it to be repaid but the act has the potential to pull us into the web of love.

Wisdom: The Gateway To Wealth

Wisdom: The Gateway To Wealth

---Ecclesiastes 7:12 (AMP)

For wisdom is a defense even as money is a defense, but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the life of him who has it.

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

---Confucius

“If someone has achieved ten times what you are trying to achieve once, the person knows something you don’t know.”
---Archbishop Benson Idahosa

The most inspiring thing about life is that your life is more perpetual than your worries and struggles, which mean that the darkness you experience at this stage of your life will gradually disappear because your life has a greater ability to displace it.

To live above the trials and challenges of life, wisdom becomes the principal force that is required in your life to be fulfilled, happy and wealthy. Wisdom should be omnipresent in every situations and matters of your life; it is the only thing that holds the wall of your life firmly that keeps it from collapsing, many seek money!

The life of a great man (King Solomon) has proven the potency of wisdom and as set it as a significant force that differentiates the successful from a failure, sets the gap between the poor and the rich, and separates the ones that has peace from the troubled. Wisdom is the key to wealth, peace and happiness. Wisdom is a thing to be sought and not forget because it liberates you from whatsoever that is capable of enslaving you.

King Solomon is known for his greatness, riches, great empire and above all wealth of wisdom that attracted great, mighty and noble men to him. Solomon had a special encounter with God in his dream and was given the opportunity to request for one thing, and the only thing he asked from God is ‘wisdom’ and this request opened to him a world of blessings, fame, riches, greatness, honor and wealth.

This is why in proverbs, King Solomon said wisdom is a principal thing; therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding. More so, he said how much better to get wisdom than gold and understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

It is said that as we grow we become wiser; because experience is believed to grant wisdom to man, yet as true as it maybe age is no qualifier of wisdom only God is the ultimate source of wisdom. See what James 1:5 says ‘If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.’  Ask Him today and you will gain wisdom.

The bitter truth is that God will not give any man wealth directly; He only gives to man the power to make wealth which can only be gained through wisdom. God makes available unto us healthy body, bright mind, wise companions, opportunities, education so we gain knowledge and understanding of whatever our heart seeks. The ball is in our court to use them all to make the best out of life, only those who devotedly live a purposeful life gets their huge share of the wealth of the universe.

Wisdom is required in every area of your life; you must be wise to be physically healthy, spiritually energetic, materially rich, educationally fulfilled, happily married, morally balanced and socially active, and experience an all-round wealth. Wisdom is required in the secular life from business to politics, and economic issues to world affairs. Wisdom is the gateway to wealth for individuals and nations.

Your Future Starts Now!

Your Future Starts Now!

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.

---William Jennings Bryan

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

---Mike Murdock

“People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.” 

--- Cormac McCarthy

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

---William Shakespeare

Some few years ago i did have a strong attachment to believe in prophecy or divination or foretelling or whatever name you have for it. Over time i discovered that knowledge of those things could either cripple your ability to manifest greatness or encourage you to strive and get the best out of life. It has come to my understanding that knowing too much of the things that could likely come to be (the future) are absolutely not perfectly good for man. As good as knowing about the future through divinations is, the harm it could cause to one’s life is as equally weighty, there is no man as peaceful and assured of fulfillment as a man that do not ask for the prediction of his future but make effective use of today and everything therein, lives today like is the last but ready to fly if tomorrow comes.

I use to say to myself after i started to have a clearer understanding about life, i don’t need a supernatural ability to tell a man the magnitude of his greatness and what the future will definitely release to him, all i need to know is his belief system, his dreams, his visions, his attitude towards life, his investment in things of the world and people in it, and above all, his relationship with God NOW!

Every man have the sense and ability to see goodness and greatness in others, this is every reason why every man has the free will to determine who they want to be friends with or who they are connected to, that could have great influence on them and impart something of meaning in their life. This is why the relationship people have with each other is wholly or partially conditional, except God who is from the beginning of our lives to the end of it connected to us unconditionally.

Nobody wants to associate with a man that could tear the wall of their life down; we only agreeably connect to those we believe to fit into our life. As the saying goes ‘birds of a feather flocks together’ which I choose to put this way ‘every man in your life do not exist there by accident, you attracted them, if they are no longer ready to fit in for the best of your life, you know what to do, repel them’.

I do believe that i find strength to do many things i do because of my undying courage but most importantly i gain great energy to keep my chin up from motivations by people around me. Like a year ago, i was discussing with someone and i explained my financial challenges at the moment, then the person smiled and said to me ‘don’t worry Clem, i see you becoming really great, rich and very wealthy’, the words finds its way into my mind and brought perfect peace, to satisfy my curiosity, i said jokingly ‘you sound like some fortuneteller, how do you know that?’ The reply i got was ‘I can see it in your eyes, you have strong hunger for riches and greatness, and because you do, you will have it’ these words have served as a propelling force for me to make my dreams and vision a reality, and everything depends on my pull and push in life now and not later.

The outcome of today which is the product of the investment of now would be the wings which would be used to soar above the storms of tomorrow. If today is not well attended to, the tomorrow you look forward to will call your attention to the steps you missed yesterday, the truth about life is that any man who refuse to face the challenges of ‘Now’ thinking tomorrow will bring goodness and fortune on a silver platter has just welcomed to his life difficulty and hardship.

The Proverbs 22:29 (NKJV) says ‘Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men’. This simply clears the mentality of anyone seeing race and environment as limiting factor to rising to great heights in life, the only thing that can keep you down until you say NO, is not striving to be better and doing your best in whatever your hands finds doing now. The password to greatness and attracting men of great personality to your life, is creating value for your life today, men of value don’t live to bow to kings or circled by mere men but rule and rub minds with kings and men of high caliber.

No one is certain of what tomorrow holds or sure of been alive to mark the calendar, the only thing we are certain about is now. We don’t have to worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about us, if we deal well with the things of today, tomorrow has got the task to land us where we deserve, and if tomorrow never comes, we would have no regret of wasting our today expecting tomorrow to save our ass. If tomorrow comes and you are there, lucky you but don’t forget that in the book of life, tomorrow expects you to have read today’s chapter to be knowledgeable enough to understand the contents of its own pages.

The door to the unknown of the future can only be unlocked by the activities you involve yourself in energetically today which is the undisputable master key. If you will stop to deceive yourself, you know easily many times when you do things that are productive and looking forward to its blessings and you can tell when you do things that you are not ready for or want to experience the consequence, this is why every man can decide what future they want for themselves and it starts about now.

See a young man that got a prophecy of his future to be so bright and colorful filled with blessings and goodness, he was so glad, went back to his home having a beautiful picture of future in his heart. All he does every day is sleep, eat and tell everyone around him i will be great and rich, I will eat in the palace of the kings and have many beautiful women around me, and oh I will even gain the whole world. Day after, decades after decades, he became stricken in age and has amounted to nothing but lost the youthful strength to pursue anything, all he could say unto himself is ‘woe unto me that i got the prediction of my future and never do what I should do to make it a reality from my Now then that is thousands of yesterday’s now’.

I look around and i saw another man who wept profusely saying woe unto himself because he just got the worst revelation of his life, he has been told he would be a slave in the garden of the king and eats crumbs from the table of the king. He wept for days but one day said to him, why weep i here till i leave the face of the earth and will have no one to bury me but dogs to eat my carcass. He stood up to the challenge of life, he starts to seek God’s face and do whatever his hand finds well, sought wisdom and knowledge, he helped people in whatever capacity he could, he makes friends with noble men and takes their advice and act on it, he saw his mission was to impact humanity positively, after several years he became a man after people’s heart and he didn't only hangout with the kings but he became a king to many who believe in his ideal for life.

I hope you can choose which man you want to be among the two.

The future belongs to you and I that prepare for it now, so wake up and live now, the future can only switch from being a promise of good things to being a threat of difficulty, if we fail to make effective use of the now we have got. Your future begins now; make it a wonderful and colorful one.

I see an assurance of a fulfilling life for you as from now if you will just take action. Go and make it happen!

God Loves ♥ You

Playing Bigger : Prayer Plus Principle

      Playing Bigger : Prayer Plus Principles

 Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you're supposed to be.

---Joel Osteen

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

---Henry Ford

In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was 'Help me.' Sometimes a prayer was 'Thank you.' What I've discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.

---Iyanla Vanzant

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.

---Napoleon Bonaparte

I want you to imagine yourself playing bigger in life; this is not an illusion in anyway but the very reason for your appointment on the face of the earth. I have good news for you today; the capacity to play bigger has just been presented to you again because there are two powerful forces to be deposited into your life anew which are prayer and principles.

It is no longer news the way principles of success are peddled and the importance of prayer in our daily lives is been struck down.  It is evident that principles can take anyone very far in life and you can have great feat in whatever you pursue in life keeping to the right principles because principle is no respecter of any man or his background; it will only propel you towards the eminent path.

People who stick to principles only, have achieved success but would have experienced greater success, peace, ease and happiness with prayer.

The truth we can’t hide from is that prayer can bring about great manifestation but prayer with the exception of right principles is void.

The Earth is founded on principles and to exist here being in tune with what goes around and comes around, you must live a principled life to actualize success, don’t forget to achieve greatness with ease, happiness and all-round fulfillment it requires divine ability which is made possible through prayers. A constant communication with God, the mastermind behind Heaven and Earth makes readily available to us divine direction for a clearer vision with a purposeful movement towards an outstanding success in life. Frustration and confusion sets in when we are detached from our creator because this only make us walk out of his master plan for our lives. Everywhere you go, you will likely come across messages of stay positive, do all you can to achieve your goals, you can re-write the story of your life and move from pain to gain, shame to fame, poverty to riches, loneliness to happy married life yet all this can be tough to come by and if possibly realized can be short-lived if we lose our connection to the master of the universe (Jehovah) , i love this portion from the Psalms that says ‘only a fool says in his heart there is no God’.

To start to manifest in the world where you play bigger, you just have to subscribe to prayer on the right and principles of success on the left and bring them to the plate of your mind for a bigger picture of you to show forth.
