Living The Word

      If only I had more opportunity, if only I had a better start in life, if only I had more education, if only I had a father/mother, if only I was not the only child, if only I had more connections, if only I studied harder, if only I had more faith, if only I was slim, if only I was more beautiful/handsome, if only I was born as a citizen of another country, if only I had met him/her earlier, if only I were tall,  if only I were short, if only I had better parents, if only I knew what I know now, if only I took a minute to listen, if only I was rich, if only I were smart, if only I had planned, if only I didn’t fall ill, if only he/she  were alive, if only I had someone to help me. If only I had not been abused, if only I weren’t so tall. If only, if only, if only…….  God can do something with that little you have, no matter how unimpressive it is, stop staring at what you don’t have or what you have lost and focus on taking an inventory of wh...

What separates a BRAND from a brand is the ability of the BRAND creator to ALWAYS step out of his/her comfort zone. How truly comforting is that zone? Are you really going to remain there? Are seriously not going to make anymore effort? Are you genuinely engrossed in that zone that you are undeniably satisfied with all your eyes can see and your mind hovers in thinking about? Is there really nothing more you want? Comfort zone for me means that you are not thinking futuristic. You don't have the confidence it takes to get out, the braveness to venture, sense of humor to accept defeat, the responsibility to quit your enjoyment, and the heart to continue or start all over. (this applies to different context). As a matter of fact, i see no wrong in a person being or living within his/her comfort zone, but where my problem lies is when you over stay your welcome and you are leisurely insensitive to discern when you should stand and take the next upward step. It pays me well, (...

(PLEASE READ MY PREVIOUS POST, TO MAKE MORE SENSE OF THIS) #CLUE 2 This is a confession, I cry secretly whenever I see, watch, or hear that a child is molested, beastly beaten and maltreated, helpless, disabled and starved. I remember when I was younger, I used to think that I wasn't normal in that area, because when i mean i cry, i mean literally, deep pain from my hearth kind of cry. It was as bad as when i watched a movie that portrayed such scenes, i would weep (i still do). In fact recently, someone told me about a woman who would beat her maid to unconsciousness and revive her with more beatings and leave hot pressing iron scars on the little girl's body. I was so hurt, i just couldn't comprehend why a human would inflict such pain and terror on a fellow human, not to talk of a defenseless child (i am glad she got exactly what she deserved). She didn't kill for heaven's sake! The child probably just broke a plate, or didn't mop well. So what! ...

I would like to think of this as a sequel to my first post "Find it! Live it! Accept it!" (please scroll down to read for a better understanding). people know that there is this thing you should be doing, you believe that once you begin, there is no turning back because it assures you of a fulfilled life. But the problem is that you don't know how to find it. Recently i started reading a book 'The Assignment' by the wonderful Dr. Mike Murdock (i strongly recommend it). In the pages of this book is over thirty years of study, teaching, and practical experience. As i read through, i realised that it was like a continuation of my first post so i decided to share the wisdom in his words and some of the facts he mentioned. I would be sharing 3 facts on how you can identify your assignment.  First of all, you are unique! But what is it that makes you unique? What do you love to talk about the most? What subject gets you the most excited? That been answered, Dr. M...

As i seat to write this, trying to recount my imaginations, i just realise that i can't put a number on how many times i have imagined. One thing i notice though, is that it is conscious effort; you don't imagine in your sleep, you don't imagine when you are too angry or too excited, you don't imagine when you are stressed out to that point where all you want to do is lay and rest. Rather it takes place when yo want it to. How many times have you sat to imagine things that will stir you up to be a better person? Imagination is one of the most advance human faculties; in it there is creativity, resourcefulness, hope, self - motivation. The dictionary defines imagination as the image - making power of the mind: the act of creating or reproducing ideally an object not previously perceived. This means you have been empowered and now what you make of that empowerment is the choices you make.  Do you remember that verse of the bible that says "the Lord God formed...

We all have an idea of what we feel and believe love is and should be. No one is ignorant of it's impact, whether felt, given or expectant. Amongst the four main kinds of love (Agape, Phileo, Storge and Eros) that there is, i would be will be referring to the first three kinds of love mentioned above.

Despite the similarities such as eating, sleeping, procreation, and defending between humans and other creatures. one of the things that sets us apart is that we have a fifth faculty: the intelligence to enquire into the truths of our existence. We have the ability to engage in abstract thinking (thought), which is the contemplation of things beyond what we can see or sense. We have the ability to express ourselves in ways we feel most comfortable with.  As a result of the extraordinary valuable ability i possess as a human to be introspective, i wonder about a bazillion things:

The turning point of each stage/level of our lives depends largely on our mental attitude. The mind illuminates the whole body whether physical or spiritual. Whatever action taken or about to be taken goes through the mind first. The mind is a set of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement and memory, (by wikipedia). After a lengthy tradition of inquires in philosophy,religion,psychology and cognitive science it's been concluded that the mind enables a being to have subjective awareness and intentionality towards their environment.  This emphasizes that we are in control of our thought process and responsible for everything that comes out of us which mostly translates to words and show of emotions or our actions. So if we are in control, doesn't it mean that we express what we have permitted our minds to feel?

Some days ago when I was thinking of what my next post was going to be about, lying in my bed, I reached for my journal of supposed post for this blog to begin writing. There I was, next thing I know it was 1,2,3, & half hours with some seconds gone, and what was I  even doing? I was with my phone in my hands (you know now! all them things we do with our phones). At that realisation, I was already out of the writing mood, I just slept off. You are probably wondering why I told that story, (who cares! right?).
