I NEED TO KNOW (EPISODE 2): KEEPING A BALANCED LIFE

By -

Dream, keep dreaming and stay focused.

Dare, do and remain dutiful.

Don't ever give up on you, keep on keeping on.

In due course, everything will come through for you.

Everything will align and the lines shall fall for you in pleasant places.

*Happy New Month.*

From my random thought, feel the need to inspire someone not to give up on their God-given dreams and aspirations. 

Let faith, love and hope be your life's saving rope. Just hang on. You will not fall.

We are all work in progress. 

I mean, all of us.

We are all on a journey, a journey so different, so peculiar and particular. 

We all have a story to tell to inspire and motivate others. If we then give up on our dreams, it then means others whose destinies are tied to the aprons of ours to shine and flourish will fail simply because we gave up.

Frustrations everywhere, disappointments and interruptions will come to derail us from our focus train, so we miss track and loose guard, leaving us downtrodden and accepting the fallacy of an average and mediocre life. 

Don't give in.

*YOU ARE NOT CREATED TO BE AVERAGE.* 

The average human being created was created with a sense of purpose and greatness.

The Creator knew what He was doing when he planted you in that family, in that region, in that country. It will be an error of existence to compare and contrast yourself to other homo sapiens.

You are too you-nique, of a kind.

You are you and no one is you. Similarity is not sameness. 

Know this and know peace: *Don't be ashamed of your authenticity. IT IS YOUR POWER TO BE.*

As our colours, heights, shapes and faces are different so is our challenges. And our difference, and not similarities, is our originality factor. 

Your uniqueness is your critical success factor. Until you embrace it, you are a non starter.

No one promise a smooth ride in life.

The rich also cry.

The nobles also ask why?
 
The prudents also get broke.

The strongest amongst us also get broken.

The fastest does not even win the race.
The most brilliant amongst us fail.

Time and chance just happen to us all.

*What you must do to keep a balanced life;*

1. *Stay joyful.* Inspite of the happenstance, maintain your joy. Be happy with reckless abandon. Spice up your life like 5 alive.

2. *Live in the moment.* Don't be too futuristic nor too focused on the past that cannot change, that you loose the pure bliss that come with the present.

3. *Stay focused on the goal.* The path to meaning and greatness is not without loopholes, bumps, and unnecessary traffic. Keep your focus sharp like the eagle and shun every form of distractions.

4. *Embrace family.* Family is king. Never miss fun time and intimacy with loved ones. 

5. *Be in the know, stay in the flow* Know everything happening around you. Simply, be aware of your environment. 

Knowledge is power. Applied knowledge makes you powerful. What you know gives you an edge over others. So, pursue knowledge and stay ahead.

6. *Keep your eyes on God.* Your help does not come from abroad, but from above.

Welcome to the second half of the year. It is not over until you win.

Happy New Month.

We are citizens of this great country called Nigeria. Nigeria is our fatherland! No matter where we are outside her shores, we are still Nigerians! She cannot be great without our input, without our collective efforts, without our corporate social responsibility! Nigeria: Good people, Great Nation. Hmmm, I'm thinking...well, if Americans can be saying "God Bless America" despite all of their crazy laws validating same sex marriage etal, why can't Nigerians too be saying "God Bless Nigeria?”. We need to change our mentality in this country o. We need to start celebrating ourselves so that the world at large will celebrate us. We need to believe in the new Nigerian State where the true ideals of democracy will manifest. We need to speak PEACE into our Jerusalem—Nigeria so that our children will work and walk freely on our streets without any fear or terror. We cannot ALL just the praying and fasting for our land that corruption should b

Of Covid-19 And The New World Order

It’s a brand-new era, an emergence of a new world order. We are in a season of spontaneous change, a dispensation of increase and newness. New vistas, new frontiers, new powers, globalization… A fresh dawn is right here for our lawn, scaring and starring at us. Like the breath of a fresh air, post Covid is here. All is come for our restart, replan and restrategy. To rethink and look back at our times of yore. Our struggles, pains, successes and failures. The ups and down, the conquest…and now the crown… Covid-19 came to obstruct, distruct, destruct, distract and distort our plans and programmes. We were all perplexed and swept under our feet without our consent. The entire world stood still and helpless at the face of a pandemic. The rich, the middle class, the poor and the proper paupers, the rich and advanced nations, the 3 rd world countries, the whites and the men of colour all in awe at the accompanied bedeviling nature of a pandemic. Suddenly, social-strata or call

OF LINDA IKEJI AND HER NEWLY BOUGHT MANSION: THE RETURN BENEFIT OF CONSISTENT HARDWORK

By Anonymous -

"You will get there, if you do not stop here" -- Exponent Samuel Adu The good book is complete on the subject of diligence. “Seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before Kings and not mean men” (Proverbs 22:29). Whoever says hard work is a waste of time is to me a big fool! Hard work pays. And to be precise, it’s one of the surest ways to escape hard life. Diligent, indeed, is God’s delight. When you are consistent with what you do (good or bad), you will get the result someday. That is the secret behind Linda Ikeji’s success story. Know that if you are poor, if you are not living your dreams, if all you do is to settle for less and accept that as your fate, if all you do is compare yourself to others in the bid to play the blame game, if all you do is criticise others who are making it big doing the same things or business you do, if all you do is explain your pain to no gain, and what have view, you are living a lie! Life is an individual
