TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU HAVE TO BE SUCCESS-FULL   Developing the mind set of success Success, as we all know, is highly subjective in definition, as it is best determined by an individual. Success is undoubtedly one of the things - if not the greatest - that is greatly desired in all spheres of life. However, I discovered that majority of us do not really have the correct and proper orientation of what success is - an ignorance which, I believe, has caused many to be unsuccessful. There's something very important I like to call our attention to, which is crucially needed for us to make success in all of our endeavours in life. Success, in life, begins with one's mindset. It is more of having the right mindset than having the right resources, to achieve success. The kind of mind you have towards success determines how successful you become in life. If you develop the right mindset, when it comes to success, you are most advantaged to achieve success. The mind is a crit...

UNRAVELLING THE MYSTERY OF THE HUMAN NOMENCLATURE I like us to understand the significance of the name "HUMAN BEING". There are two words that are absolutely important to human existence : "beings and doings" . These two words are essentially interconnected.  They give definition to our life.  The totality of our life  is summed up in these two words. "Doing", as the name implies, is simply what we do - our undertakings . While "being" is whom  we are. You see in life, who we are coupled with what we do is the essence of living .  The salient importance of what we do, and the absolute significance of who we are, cannot be overemphasized . They are as important as the breath in our nostrils . Now, I like us to take cognizance of the fact that we are called "human beings", and not "human doings". A critical look at this will help us to understand that our life, as our name implies ,is about who we are not what we...

PROCRASTINATION  AN IMPEDIMENT TO SUCCESS_  One of the greatest - and possibly the most common - hindrance to success in life is this 15 letter words "procrastination" . As long as the word is, so also its effects and implications on one's progress in life. Procrastination, according to the Oxford English learners dictionary, is defined as The act of postponing, delaying or putting off, especially out of habitual carelessness  or laziness. Going by this definition, procrastination can be unequivocally said to be an act of irresponsibility. It is, from my own perspective, the careless and deliberate act of unnecessarily postponing what should be done at the moment to another time. It makes one to foolishly believe that what should be done now can be done any other time. Procrastination... Hmm... A killer disease.  Did I just mention killer ? Yes! It is a killer disease in the sense that it not only steals time but also kills opportunities and impedes progress....

✍    ✍    ✍    ✍    ✍   CREATING YOUR FUTURE     your future starts now " For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" , says God in the book of Jeremiah. 29:11. This is a verse of the scriptures which I vehemently believe that many of love to quote and claim as regards the plans of God for our life. It's undoubtedly the revelation of God's ultimate plans and programs for one's life. This is what God, according to him, has in his mind for you and I with regards to our future. That's really lovely to hear, at least having such a statement of hope coming from our creator. However, as good as that may seem, we will not really get into the depth of what God is saying, if we don't take our time to read further into the subsequent verses. " Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek...

✍   ✍   ✍   ✍   ✍ TRUSTING GOD FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE -   The key to securing your destiny If there's anything that has so much caused launched me into discovering one of the truths of life, in respect to one's .future, it is the statement of a lady in a film I watched titled, "THE IGNITION" - a film, which I believe some of us have also watched. There's is this lady who had been suffering from this deadly and  excruciating disease known as epilepsy. There's really no need for me to go into much explication as to the shame, contempt, pains and embarrassment that hallmark the life of whoever falls victim of this disease, as I believe those are known facts. This had been a great - possibly the greatest - challenge for her while in a relationship with her supposed life partner. She had been battling with this shameful disease, which had so long plunged her into an overwhelming distress. She had spent much time in prayers, fastings and all kinds of spiritu...

✍✍✍✍✍✍✍ TIME : A TREASURED COMMODITY If there's anything in life, that God has so tremendously blessed us with, it is time. Time is undoubtedly the most valuable element of life. Time is so precious that everything we do is anchored upon it. It's relevance and significance in all of our undertakings, cannot be overemphasized. The fact that nothing in life can be done without considering time, is enough reason to convince us of its criticality. We do not need the towering intelligence of an Harvard graduate to understand the significance of time to our life. Time, as someone put it, is a universal  currency.  It's the same all over the world. However, sadly to note is that, as important as time is, many do not really make effective use of it. They are merely wasting it or using it for the wrong things. And this has so much hampered their progress and development. The best investment you can make is time investment. Time is as valuable as the money used for tra...

_✍   ✍   ✍   ✍   ✍ START WHERE YOU ARE    " And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:  And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him." 1 Samuel 17:34‭-‬35 KJV These were the words of one of the greatest leaders in the history of humanity, a prominent  prophet, singer and a highly respected king in the then Israel. He made this statement while he was preparing to enter into a great combat with the then giant warrior - the man Goliath. There's no question about the fact that we are all familiar with the story. While he was being questioned by King Saul as to whether he had the required military skills with which he could face the highly experienced, shrewd and versatile Goliath, he responded by stating the little achievements he had erstwhi...
