HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND WITH YOURSELF?

Image
How much time do you spend with yourself? How much of you do you know? Have you taken out time to really discover who you REALLY are, and why you are living? The truth is, if you take time to get to know yourself - REALLY know yourself -you will discover things that were previously hidden or denied because they didn’t match others’ expectations of you or maybe you lacked the courage to be who GOD has called you be because you feel that you are too small to face the "big" task. Here is the best and quickest way to get to know yourself: spend time alone as often as possible. Shut off the television and radio, block outside distractions, and simply allow yourself to BE. Ensure that you have your journal with you anytime you're having your alone time, because you will be shocked at the things you will discover about yourself.  Don't worry if you didn't discover anything yet. It is a gradual process. That's why you need to always spend time with yourse

You become a worrier by always worrying. You can be free from worry by practicing a strong faith. With all the strength and perseverance you can command, start practicing faith by dwelling on GOD'S word. You stand to gain much when you have faith in GOD. All you need is believe, no matter what your situation looks like.

The best and healthy way of preparing poultry for a meal is to remove the visible skin and fats prior to cooking. Roast, bake or broil poultry instead of deep frying to prevent oil absorption. Among the parts, the chicken breasts contain high protein and low fat which make it the better choice cuts.  So go ahead and have fun with weekend with some nice, we'll spiced roasted, grilled chicken or broiled chicken, with this tip. 

FILL YOUR MIND WITH GOD'S WORD.

Image
Emotions can be a tricky thing to understand, but it becomes easier when we consider that our emotions are fueled by our thoughts. If we THINK negatively about ourselves, we will FEEL badly about ourselves. If we focus on the negative in our lives, our lives will seem to have a negative theme. It’s all about what we focus on the most that determines how we feel. Think about the last time your day took a sudden nosedive because of a "simple switch" of thought.  One of the ways I've learnt to be emotionally strong is to occupy my mind with every single promise that GOD has made to be in the bible. When my thought is filled with GOD'S word, where's the room to feel unhappy?

Water is vital to sustain a healthy life. It is recommended to drink at least 8 ounces of 8 glasses of water every day. It aids the cells, tissues and organs to function normally. Body water deficit or dehydration can cause serious damage to kidneys and other organs which may result to mental confusion, coma and even death if not given medical intervention immediately.  So, let's cultivate the habit of drinking water, no just when you're thirsty.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE DREAMS?

Image
What were your dreams when you were a child? What happened to those dreams?  If you are like most of us who were told by our parents, friends, partners, colleagues, teachers how unrealistic our dreams were and have buried those long-ago dreams so deeply in your subconscious mind that you can no longer even remember them, don’t lose hope! All you need is to look deeply inside and self-examine yourself to bring your dreams to the surface.  Nevertheless, if they remain hidden, there is one important thing to remember: You are not the same person as you were back then! While it is possible to rekindle a dream you’ve held since childhood, you do not have to. Instead, let new dreams make themselves known to you. Ask yourself what type of work would make you feel most fulfilled. Ask yourself how you can best make a contribution to the world by doing something you truly love. The truth is, many of us have completely lost touch with our passions. We are so focused on the th

When you keep making the same mistakes over and over, and you keep saying, "you know I'm not perfect", that's the devil beating the drums of destruction for you and you're ignorantly dancing to it! That's why people ain't getting any better or even make efforts to get better!  We must learn to take responsibilities for our actions/mistakes, accept that we're wrong, learn from it and determine to get better- that's the only way to walk in CHRIST'S perfection! Here's what our LORD JESUS said in Matthew 5:48, " You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."  So, stop believing those lies. That's part of the devil's tricks to keep you down in his claws for life. Don't allow it! Determine to be perfect just like JESUS! Stay blessed! 

YOUR EMOTIONS AND YOU.

Image
Even if all the outer aspects of our lives seem wonderful, our emotions can still cause us to feel unhappy. Memories of events that caused us great distress can stifle our development. Negative thought habits can fill us with feelings of frustration and powerlessness. Negative self-talk can cause us to sabotage any goals we set. Emotions can be a tricky thing to understand, but it becomes easier when we consider that our emotions are fueled by our thoughts. If we THINK negatively about ourselves, we will FEEL badly about ourselves. If we focus on the negative in our lives, our lives will seem to have a negative theme. Whatever we focus on the most determines how we feel. Even if everyone around you is emotionally down or having a bad day, you can choose to stand out by being emotionally strong and happy. It all depends on what you allow your mind to think. For instance, someone steps on your toes when you were having a really good day; do you start cursing the person

SUCESS IS A JOURNEY!

Image
If there is one thing I've learned in life, it is the understanding that success is a journey, not a destination. It is not about what you do, but WHO you become through the achievement of your dreams. Success is a process of letting go of perceived limitations, growing and developing as unique individuals, believing in our true potential, honoring the best parts of ourselves and letting the world know who our source is- GOD.  Believe it or not, the mind is where all the issues of life and events are birthed. In this journey to success, most of the process, if not all, takes place in our very own minds.  Listen dear friend, nature has designed it that you are successful; you've always had the potential to be successful, you just need to believe it and embrace it! So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!!!! 

SO, WHAT'S YOUR POINT OF VIEW?

Image
 "Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars."- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts. Way back during my secondary school days, I was among the six students that got picked to represent my school in an English Essay Writing Competition. Truth be told, I was the least among the rest when it came to having excellent grades, not only in English, but in all the subjects. I actually wondered why I was picked, but I guess the teachers saw in me what I couldn't see in myself then. Rather than shy away from the challenge, I saw it as an opportunty to improve in my essay writing; and even though we didnt win the price, I made an excellent grade in English Language during our final examinations. So my point is, in life, we have choices; and we either have a pessimistic view and live a self-defeated life or decide to be optimistic and take a challenging and fulfilled life. So why nurture an optimistic point of view?

GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF

Image
Getting to know yourself can blast through any negative preconceptions you may be persistently entertaining in your thoughts or mind . Remember, your self-image is usually based on the conclusions you formed from your past experiences. For instance, you may hold a belief that you are not a good writer, or you’re not a “people person”, or that you don’t have any special skills, but is that really true? How do you know for sure? Please don’t say, “Because I tried it once and I sucked at it.” Trying something once or only a few times should not discourage you. You only need to make up your mind to succeed.  The truth is, you can become good or even great at anything if you truly want it and are willing to never give up.  My question is: Do you really want to get “there”? Getting to know yourself helps you separate what you really want from what others expect of you.

REFLECTION

Will you live a life controlled by random thoughts or will you choose your thoughts carefully to develop a success mindset? When you get a hold of your thoughts you have the power to create wonderful things in your life, all by just taking command, training and instructing your mind to think properly. 

WHEN YOU THINK POSITIVELY

Image
Positive thinking will only work for you if you are willing to work at it. The truth is, it is not an easy discipline. It takes the HOLY SPIRIT inside of you and of course your hard believe in GOD.  Positive thinking takes honest living, and a strong desire to succeed. For Positive thinking to work for you, you must continue to work at it to achieve the desired success. Don't stop learning. Keep learning and relearning.

LET LIFE FLOW THROUGH US.

Image
We must let Life flow through us, and allow it to express itself naturally. Do not let the little worries of life, or the big ones either, depress you and cause you to lose your vitality. Assert the Life Force within you, and manifest it in every thought, act and deed, and before long you will be exhilarated and fairly bubbling over with vitality and energy. It is astonishing how much interest we may find in the ordinary things of life if we will only wake up. There are interesting things all around us - interesting events occurring every moment - but we will not be aware of them unless we assert our life force and begin to actually live instead of merely existing.

STRONG DESIRE - CONFIDENT EXPECTATION - COURAGE IN ACTION

Image
Why should anything be too good for you? Did you ever stop to think just what you are? You are a manifestation of the Whole Thing, and have a perfect right to all there is. Or, if you prefer it this way, you are a child of the Infinite, and are heir to it all. You are telling the truth in either statement, or both. At any rate, no matter for what you ask, you are merely demanding your  own. And the more in earnest you are about demanding it - the more confident you are of receiving it - the more will you use in reaching out for it - the surer you will be to obtain it. Strong desire - confident expectation - courage in action - these things bring to you your own. But before you put these forces into effect, you must awaken to a realization that you are  merely asking for your own, and not for something to which you have no right or claim.

It could be that all your life, you’ve always been the one giving and taking care of other people and now you feel tired and drained.  It could be time to ask yourself if time has come for the meaning of your life to change from giving to being able to receive. This will go a long way to save you from going into depression. To be a great giver, you must be an excellent receiver. That's how it works.

I've come to realise that people applaud to stupid and irrelevant statements or stuff (maybe because it favours them), but when something serious and matters that touch the heart, or when a great work is shared, they ignore it. So, to someone out there working hard and feeling that no one is seeing you,  trust me, the whole world is seeing you and most importantly, GOD sees you, and in HIS beautiful time, HE will reward you. Stay on course, GOD NEVER SLEEPS!

Keep trusting GOD even when you cannot see the way. Keep on believing when there’s no one else to cheer you on. Keep on hoping and dreaming, even when your way seems blocked, and you have waited for so long.  Carry on, drop by drop your cup shall overflow. Inch by inch you'll walk the mile. Do not be impatient for the day, because it will surely come, and MUST give way to the man who knows what he truly desires.

DO NOT GET TIRED OF HOPING.

Image
There are times in your life when all that you could do is rest. You find it difficult to love, dream- you don’t know where to start, and you don’t know where to go. You want to change your life, but you’re too weak to move, too tired to think, too hurt to heal, too numb to make amends, too lost to Hope and too tired to even pray.  Let your heart and soul rest on GOD'S love for you, for the journey has been too much for you, and the world has left you wounded and alone. Let go of all your woes. Lie down in trust and in the arms of HIM who loves you most. Allow GOD to fill you with HIS joy. GOD is watching and HE sees everything you are going through. Do not think about your worries and hurts, because in the time when you shall find comfort and peace, you will enjoy the healing that your soul deserves!

THE UNSEEN GOD

Image
 Have you ever wondered why GOD is invisible? Why can’t I just see HIM or even hear HIM? Wouldn’t it have been better to be able to hear exactly what HE wants me to do with my life? You ask. But then again, do you really want that to happen? The truth is that GOD is not invisible! HE is only invisible because we want HIM that way. We don’t want GOD meddling in our affairs or even showing HIS approval or disapproval in what we do. We want independence and freedom. We want to be apart from GOD! Yet is GOD really apart from us? Not at all. GOD is watching us ever more closely, though we go about doing things on our own making it difficult for us to recognise HIS presence. But in moments when we can’t take it anymore, in those moments in our lives when we’ve done all we could and achieved everything we felt like achieving and still felt empty, GOD is still there, ready to listen and to take us back. All we need is to approach the unseen GOD so we can finally see clearly the

GOD often closes the wrong doors for us so that we may enter the right one- even though the wrong doors may have lingered so much so that you've become comfortable with the pains and disappointments. Hence, those rejections and disappointments may indeed be (are mostly) blessings in disguise that you should be thankful for!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH?

Image
When you don’t love yourself enough, it comes with a lot of consequences, such as;  you allow people to mistreat you and to continue to mistreat you; you try to please other people feeling it’s your obligation, not because you want to; you feel suspicious when people treat you well or become extra-generous; you feel that it’s your fault when things go wrong; you pity yourself easily when someone criticizes you; you don’t feel comfortable when you look at yourself in the mirror; you allow people to think that it is tolerable to abuse other people; you find it hard to receive love; you become prone to depression and hopelessness; you sabotage your own success because you believe you don’t deserve it.  You know, at first glance, it might seem that this lack of love  isn’t so harmful in our relationship with others.  But how could we even have a basis for loving other people when we can’t even love ourselves? By which standards are we going to treat them when

WORD FOR THE DAY

Maybe you are trapped between your approaching enemies and a dead-end leading only to a vast open sea, definitely hope is almost nil.  But if you could still pray and believe that even there, in that hopeless situation, GOD can save you and make a way, you have already achieved victory and much courage.  And even the seas will be parted to make way for your faith! Fall seven times, stand up eight.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW?

Image
Many times, it isn’t the difficulty we’re experiencing that truly matters, but the meaning we’re able to give to whatever it is we’re going through. What is the meaning of your life right now?  If you are hurting, what meaning could you possibly give to your sufferings?  If you are joyful, what meaning have you found in your happiness? It could be that you’ve just lost someone you really loved, and this grief is saying that the meaning of your life right now is called LETTING GO. It could be that you’ve been hurt so bad by someone who was supposed to protect you, and thus the meaning of your present days could be one of FORGIVENESS. It could be that you’re pursuing a dream, but its fulfilment seem so far away and the only word you could hold on to right now is PERSEVERANCE. It could be that you’ve tried everything to solve a problem but every path still seems to be blocked.  If so, the meaning of your life at the moment could be called HOPE. It could be th

GOD blesses us all and provides for our needs differently.  To some HE gives material blessings, to others, spiritual strength.  When we need some form of support, GOD sometimes sends us people who would be channels of His grace.  Sometimes, it is GOD Himself who directly gives it to us- even though we may feel it isn't enough and of course, HE has a reason for everything, and surely makes all things beautiful in HIS time.  So during such times, should I ever think I have received less?  Or do I praise GOD for giving me Himself and personally taking care of me?

High sodium intake is a risk factor for diseases like high blood, heartburn, osteoporosis and other cardiovascular diseases.  Limit sodium intake by just reducing your consumption of salty foods without taking the option of salt substitutes.

SOME TIPS TO STAY HAPPY THIS WEEKEND AND ALWAYS.........

Image
Be grateful. Being grateful is a great attitude and as they say, a grateful heart is a happy heart. So stop sulking and be grateful for all you have. We have so much to be thankful for, if not for anything, thank GOD for being alive, thank your spouse for being so amazing; because a living dog is better than a dead lion.  News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can't start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do. Manage your time. Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your spouse, friends or family about it. As they also say -'Laughter is the best medicine'. Be kind; and try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone. Accomplishments are necessary f

WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT THE REDWOOD TREES""

Image
I learned a great lesson today about the redwood trees, so I thought I should share it. I learned that though the redwood trees are some of the tallest trees in the world, they do not have especially deep roots, which consequently if alone, would be in great danger of falling over.  However, what thrilled me was the fact that redwoods tend to grow close to one another, and under the soil their roots bind together, adding strength and support so that even when faced with storms, the roots tighten around each other, making redwood forests some of the most steadfast in the world.  Here's the moral lesson; you cannot survive alone, you cannot succeed alone. You need covenant relationships and alignment with one another to achieve such solidarity, to excel in life no matter how good you are at what you do!  Like the redwood trees, find yourself a great support system! Do not let anyone  or your mind deceive you into thinking that you don't need anyone's help! T
