“There are people we wonder about but don't make attempts to contact. Perhaps we're afraid of empty conversations with someone or perhaps we're curious about someone whose life we watched for awhile from afar.
Sometimes it's just been too long and sometimes we can't even articulate the need to know whatever happened to them. Where are they? Did they make it? Are they happy? Are they passionate about something in their lives? Are they anything like the people we once knew?
Sometimes, we sit and wonder what could be or what would have been, without necessarily doing anything to bring about what should be. The real question i need you to ask yourself is...ARE YOU LIVING OR MERELY EXISTING.
How many lives have you touched lately either by way of a simple apology, a simple Thank you, a simple I believe in you. When last did you pick up your phone to check on someone who once mattered or someone whom you don't even consider relevant anymore. Even when the skies are grey or blue, will the touch of your hands, the words of your lips or the smile on you face speak for you? Are you only concerned about you or will you reach out o other too.
Don't always be in a hurry to put others in your bad books just because they weren't there when you needed them,(has it ever occurred to you that perhaps), they may also have needed you to be there for them as well.Learn to give people the benefit of doubt, even though doubt has no benefit.*SMILES*

Say no to postponment!
Looking at the world today, there are certain personalities who have distinguished themselves and stood out as role models in almost every facet of life. Most of these people have one thing in common, and that is a huge will power to rise and forge ahead in spite of their many falls and frailties.
It's one thing to have projections and well laid down plans for the future, but its another thing to actually implement those plans and package them into a box called 'ACTUALISATION'. Majority of persons in the African continent have been found deficient in the area of reading and mental development as a whole. Most people want to be successful, but then again, nobody cares about acquiring knowledge in the area of success.
It's okay to have projections or aspirations for the future...but you have to move a step further into a RADICAL DEVELOPMENT of yourself. It isn't just enough to want to be like Bill Gates, Nelson Mandela, Ellen Sirleaf Johnson etc...but how much of these people do you know in terms of their struggles,failures,strong points and the moments that generally define or defined their lives. Most of the time, the only limitation we have, is OURSELVES and this is usually charaterised by our naivety. Don't let Laziness or mere wishful thinking deprive you of putting your dreams into action.
If you must learn a trade, do it! If you must learn a language, Do it, if you must study for an exam,do it! whatever it is, just do it now and become the person you believe you can be.
PROCASTINATION WILL ALWAYS BE A HINDRANCE TO WITTY INVENTIONS AND IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, EVERYWHERE WILL SEEM LIKE IT.
Oh please, don't just sit and waste the moments that pass you by...make the most of EVERY simple moment.

Leave your comfort zone
How often do you sit down and curse the darkness when you can just get up and turn on the light. Many of us allow ourselves to be entangled by the web of our Comfort Zones, so much so that we attribute every negative thing that happens to us to relatives, friends, or some witch somewhere.
Please permit me to ask you a few questions? Have you ever thought of changing your location lately? Don’t you ever feel that there’s an urgent need for you to leave you Comfort Zone or even switch off your phone (lol).
Now it’s like this, sometimes our ALLOCATIONS are tied to our LOCATION. Until you LEAVE your fathers house, until you leave dependence, until you leave mediocrity…you many never be able to CLEAVE to independence, self worth, Superiority etc. Sweety, you have gone round that mountain long enough, it’s time for you to move, Be it Northwards, Southwards, Eastwards, etc, but please just make sure that you make a move.
I know that you have been confused for so long as to the right decision to make concerning what next step to take; this message has therefore come face to face with you to let you know that it’s time for you to get up and turn on the light… Change your location. Don’t be bothered about the fact that you don’t know anyone and nobody knows you. God can never give you a VISION without a PROVISION. Don’t be afraid to leave your comfort zone, Take that step of faith even if you can’t see the whole staircase. GOD BLESS YOU.

Appreciate those that come and go in your life
Sweety, i understand that its sad when people you KNOW become people you KNEW, when you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part of your life. How you used to be able to talk for hours and now you can barely look at their faces and how sad it is to see that times change.
But hard as it may, we must always realize that some persons are in our lives for a REASON, some for a SEASON and others for a LIFETIME. That doesn't make them any less good or great. It only proves that different persons come into our lives to fulfill different assignments and when they are done, they've got to move on. Please don't hate or despise them for it, for their exit might just be part of a divine plan.
May God give you the grace to tell the difference, so that you don't miss out on your reason, your season and your lifetime. GOD BLESS YOU

Impatience and Anger gives birth to Regrets
...And the young man told his father "Dad i went out today and saw a particular automobile, one with a different style and pride. It's my dream car and i'll be most grateful if you can get it for me as a birthday gift"
The father smiled, nodded his head and walked away in silence.
On His Son's birthday, the man wrapped a gift and gave it to his beloved son. While unwrapping the gift, the son immediately caught a glimpse of a bible inside, and with great anger, he returned the bible to his Dad accusing him of not being true to his words. After that day, the young man walked away from home to start up a life of his own
Several years later, he was told his aged father had slumped and died and that his attention was needed at home to perform the burial rites. On getting home, he walked straight to his late fathers room and found that same Bible the dad had given him some years back. With a little bit of curiosity, he opened the bible and saw the Key to his dream car lying in one of the pages. At that instance, it dawned on him that his dream car had been packed behind the house all along, with the key to it, embedded in the pages of a Bible.
Sweetheart, IMPATIENCE and ANGER are imposters that can make us loose sight of the opportunities that are embedded in the pages of our lives. More so, the Bible isn't just some work of art but a guide to every facet of life. Conclusively, there's a lesson or two to be learnt in every story, find your own lesson in this story. Remember, anger is a cankerworm that gradually eats deep into the fabrics of your being and eventually leaves you lifeless.

Delay does not mean Denial
"Please wait for me until i become the person you want me to be because i know i sure will; Please wait for me to achieve my dreams so i can share it with you because it won't be relevant without you; Exercise more patience with my company because they will definitely call you up for your appointment letter soon. Oh please, don't condemn me just because i have a huge scar on my face, for its gradually going to heal".
Now i know, you must be wondering what in heavens name i'm talking about. Don't worry, I don’t plan to leave you in the dark because i consider it a vital information that may be useful to you either in the now or in the future; and its a subject I’ve tagged "WAITING".
Sweety, believe me when i say...i understand that the waiting periods in our lives could be awkward, annoying, tiring and sometimes irritating. But if we look at life closely, we will notice that most of the people who choose to wait, inspite of their pain, end up achieving so much gain. Truth is, our greatest stories, successes and accomplishments are often times garnered in the WAITING
Perhaps all he or she needs from you is to wait a little longer for him or her to prove himself to you. Perhaps, the MD of that establishment just wants you to wait for that wrong man to be removed so you can assume that long desired position and perhaps, that brother or sister just wants you to be patient a while with his mistakes/failures because he knows that in him lies a success waiting to happen. It’s one thing for us to crave to be a blessing, and it’s another thing for us to be sensitive to the plight of others, even when it doesn’t make sense to us
PLEASE DON'T LOOSE SIGHT OF WHAT IS, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS IN A HURRY TO CHASE AFTER WHAT COULD BE. If you can only wait a little longer sometimes, you’ll get to find that… DELAYS DON'T ALWAYS MEAN DENIAL.

A little Faith is healthier
Our lives are full of a lot of SUPPOSES... Suppose this should happen or suppose that should. We make up our minds to embark or indulge in something today, then all of a sudden...we begin to nurse this "suppose it doesn't work out" feeling. We begin to water and nurture our fears until it produces a firm tree within us.
Do you not know that in as much as FAITH comes by hearing, FEAR is also birthed by hearing as well. What have you been listening to in the past few days, how strong a grip does your negative thoughts have on you.You might say, to have a little fear is healthy, but have you not heard that to have a little faith,is healthier.
Whoever told you that you're destined to be a write-off just because you've had few written-off experiences. Whoever told you that your destiny lies in the hands of any man, just because your life has been following a negative trend on account of what someone said to you years ago. Hey, Wake up to the realization of who you are in Christ.
Before you believe their report about you, perhaps you should find out what God's words says concerning you. Oh please listen to me....IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE, ANYONE WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE NOT. Leave the Supposes and Opposers where they ought to be, and KNOW THIS, the only way way you can conquer your fears, is to face THEM (with God's word).Remember, you cannot conquer what you don't confront and you can't confront what you don't identify.in all these things, i dare to ask you again WHOSE REPORT DO YOU BELIEVE?
