Monday Inspiration: Flee

Helloooo my amazing people, how was last week? It was an amazing one for me but I must apologize that due to some circumstances I could not post last week, thank God for divine health because the devil is a liar, many thanks to all who showed love one way or the other (will shed more light on it later), my experience will be on a post soon to encourage someone, you know every experience is a learning curve and I always love to share, but thank God I am up and running again. Yipeee!

So yeah, I am making some changes and now this blog is going to be more vibrant and full of to do's, so get ready we are going to be having take home assignments as we take the ministry to its permanent site, I am here to serve you and I am going to do that Diligently, God help us.

For today and for this week we are going to be discussing FLEE, in pidgin english "pick race" in foreign english "Run".

What are the things,who are the people you should flee from this week? today I will lay emphasis on people, as the topic goes in later weeks I will speak on characters and habits to flee from. I will be mentioning only four:

1. Joy stealers: Anything or anyone that will want to steal your joy, make your sad or make you feel down.

Action Call:

Pick your Slippers/shoe and flee.

Your happiness is your choice. Nobody is supposed to be able to make you feel sad or try to steal your joy, if a thief is coming to your house and you are aware, what do you do?  (think on that) even when a thief is not coming we guard our houses jealously, you are in charge of your house. That should be your everyday guide.

2. Negative Sayers: We know these people, people who never have anything good to say about people or things. It might just be their life, but first try to correct them but if they cannot be corrected, what do you do?

Action Call:

MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION: STRETCH YOURSELF

Beautiful people, how are we doing today? How was the weekend? Mine was kind of stressful but then we are up and bouncing because it is Monday.

What have I got in the bag for you this week? Yeeeeaah yeaaah! Nothing much, through this week we are going to be doing the stretch technique. Not as an exercise this time but as an activity.

What’s this activity all about you might ask? Oh well I am here to tell you.

Have you ever tried wrapping your hair, for the ladies with a hair band, normally it looks pretty small but to make it fit in you have to stretch it, till most times we end up getting double wraps to hold our hair pretty tight and then you admire your hair because it looks really pretty to you.

That is the same thing we ought to do for life. Keep stretching, do not settle for where you are today claiming you have achieved it all, or you are wondering how further you can go from where you are

You were not created to get to a position and be stagnant, there is no stop button in the journey of life (except at death), there is only a reset button.  If you realise you are not moving it is because you have decided to stop where you are.

You can only achieve if you press, not if you rest.

Wherever you were yesterday, you definitely are not supposed to be in the same position today. Why, you may ask. And my answer is “Your creator never performs his greatest acts in your yesterday”

A broken bone isn't a broken mind.

                                

Hello lovelies, how was your week? You see that girl in that picture is feeling very strong in her bones (speaking with faith) after a very very stressful week, my goodness!!! but then we thank God and what can stop me from having my smoothie? not even a broken bone. I virtually broke all of my blogging schedules this week and I sincerely apologise. Next week will definitely be better. 

Today I will be discussing about the mind, using myself as a living example, so as to make you understand you are not alone. We have discussed self love a lot, now let's move to the next phase of getting you motivated and keeping your positivism alive. 

The mind, the bedrock of good and evil. That's how I see it. Before we act, it arises first from the mind, even though a few of us do not think before we act, not thinking does not mean it was not in the mind. The mind is a store room where you store love, hatred, joy and sadness, today I ask you what do you have in your store(mind)? 

Relating to the topic, I stated earlier that my bones are very strong, I feel too tired to even move a feet but have I decided to store that? If I keep in mind that my body is weak, then automatically I feel completely weak and that will lead me to want to stay in bed, then it continues and next thing I start saying I am running temperature, I feel funny e.t.c . The theory/truth about the mind is simple and that is one thought in mind leads to another and a million more.

Grateful Heart

Hello lovelies,

Owambe Rice and fish on point!!

Hellooooo pay attention to the face and not the food. C'mon.

Yeah! Happy new week, Monday inspiration is up, you can read it here and I was so glad when I saw it because then I had a lot on my desk to do and I was wondering when will I be able to put up something for the week. Little did I know that my personal boo/editor already put something up for me. So yeaaah! I am excited. God bless you real good.

I am here to appreciate God for all he has done in fulfillment of the Challenge that I was given by thegracedmisfit.com, thanks a lot dear.

Going straight to the point, the challenge says I should state 5 things I am thankful for (what a small number, but I will try and keep to the rules)display a picture of gratitude – a picture of something simple that makes me smile in a day and then nominate 5 other people for the challenge.

Ooookay here we go!

Things I am grateful for:

Life

It is the best gift God has ever given to me, so many people sort it but then it was either too late for them and now they are no where to be found. But even in my unfaithfulness I still have a God who is extremely mindful of me, preserving my life on a daily basis. What else can I say than thank you God, what more can I do than remain grateful because no matter what is going on today, the good and the bad, there is life so there is hope.

Health

I have life and then there is health. In my small life, I can hardly remember when I had to get admitted in the sick bay or live on pills. It been years now and I have even lost count. None of which I could have achieved by my own strength obviously not. Some have life and do not have health but my God being so faithful has lavished me with life and health, I am feeling like a spoilt kid right now but then what more can I say than thank you and what else can I do but remain grateful.

Family

I am soo soo grateful to God for my online family, my immediate and my extended family. My online family (you my amazing reader) I am so grateful to God to have you here. Making me the best of who I can be everyday, Immediate family (siblings and mum) the first set of blessings I met on planet earth and they have never stopped being blessings to me.

MONDAY INSPIRATION: RISKING IT ALL

Hello Lovelies!! *in Uju's voice* lol. Actually she's super busy this morning so i decided to post on her behalf even though i might be dead after this, lol! but who cares, right?! as far as i get to touch someone's life today

I came across this quote and it got me thinking “SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO RISK IT ALL FOR A DREAM ONLY YOU CAN SEE”. This is actually a quote we can relate to as if you check when you were young you had dreams like wanting to be the best gymnast, photographer, singer and so on but  along the line we were swayed off by our environment, parents, friends and even ourselves.

But I want to tell you today that its not late to dust off that dream no matter how silly it may sound and start working towards it. You owe yourself that happiness and you owe the world that impact.

I know it will be really hard but it’s not impossible, I know you will be discouraged by your friends, your family and even your loved ones like your partner but sometimes you have to risk it all for a dream only you can see and I promise you, you won’t regret the decision. Funny enough, when you start thriving in that dream, the same people that discouraged and laughed at you will start singing your praises and identifying with you, lol! I know right! That’s life for you

I want to charge you today, what is that thing you have always wanted to do which sounds ridiculous and everyone you told laughed at you or talked you out of it so you stopped sharing it with people and you even stopped dreaming it, Its high time you ignore all those discouragement and encourage yourself because if you can dream it, you can accomplish it.

Please share your dreams and what you are doing about making it a reality in the comment box below

Have a wonderful week and remain blessed, Cheers!!

Moments of Inspiration: Life Crush Everyday #LCE

Hello lovelies, how are we doing today. It is another wednesday and I think all over the world people have got the Woman Crush Wednesday "Campaign" going on, I love to research but I am not sure I want to know the history of this #WCW. I like it because some people use it to appreciate themselves and the women in their lives, so its not a bad idea at allllll...

So today being wednesday I have my own crush campaign going on and it is the Life Crush Everyday #LCE. Yaaay!!!


So this is quite simple, I just want us to take a look at how we have gone so far in life, How does it look to you? Does it reflect who you truly are? Does it make you feel you are on track in achieving your purpose on earth?

You definitely might not have gotten to where you want to be but you can only have a crush on your life if you feel it is on track. How well have you been a blessing to the lives of people? how well have you left a positive mark in the life of another, even if it is one person?  How well are things going as planned, if they are not have you ever asked yourself why?

If you do not understand a man you cannot crush on him. And if you do understand your life, very probably you will not have a crush on it...Uju .C

Monday Inspiration: Top Secret of the Week ( If you do not love yourself, you cannot love another)

Hello lovelies, How are we doing today? Personally I am still wondering if the weekend is over, but anyways it is and work has got us again *the hustle continues*

Last week was about getting our  vibes on for the new month and today lets talk a little about the secret of letting out love to others.

So yeah, I have always learnt to love but then I kept asking why do people still hate/dislike. If love is what we are meant to offer to everyone, why is there still hate and then I got the top secret, it was a secret I had to unravel for my own life and I will be sharing with you to the best of my ability.

Let us take this illustration, you go to a shop you see someone purchase something you would never imagine you can buy, what will be your reaction? I am sure you would start wondering what is this person using this for, How will someone even think of buying such an item.

The reason you hate it is because you know it will definitely not work for you but then it might just be super amazing for the next person.

Loving yourself is the greatest secret to loving another.

You can never give what you do not have, you cannot give me a pen when I ask you if you do not have one. That is how love is.

The reason why a few people tend not to interact with people properly is because they have refused to love themselves. You can only be ready to share in one's excitement if you too are excited. That's the simple logic behind it.

The ability to love yourself is the beginning of joy, love and happiness.

How do you go about loving yourself? it is easy, loving yourself is being yourself, being who you are without making additional effort to be someone else, you find out life is easy, simple, free and happy.

Being yourself helps you attract your type with little or no effort because what you wear, how you act can easily swing your people close to you.
Being yourself makes you love and appreciate who you really are, because you dress the way you love to and feel happy, eat the way you want to and feel happy.

But you tend to fall out of love with yourself if you decide to imprison your life and style by other people's judgement.

Because you will be forced to wear something people will compliment but then you will not be happy, eat with a fork and knife with a fake smile when it is sweeter and easier for you to eat tidy with your hands and laugh about it.

The love for self I say once again is derived from being yourself and accepting you for who you are and if you must change your style or anything about you, change it to suite who you are not people's compliment.

Appreciate yourself, love yourself, be happy about who you are and the love you have for yourself will be well packaged and ready to deliver to someone else.

A photocopy of an item can never be compared to an original.

Be original, be yourself and let love flow from within you.

Dance when you want to, sing when you want to, eat when you want to and stay happy because you have to.

So it is up to you.. Will you make conscious effort to start loving yourself? What did you imagine you hated for no reason? Kindly share in the comment box below.

Go through this week LIVING YOUR LIFE AND LOVING YOURSELF.

My quote for the week: Life is too short to be anything but happy.

Moments of Inspiration: Permission Taker or Action Taker, which are you?

I want to go to the market and buy something, please can I go? Oh sure you can. Please I want to go and take the best from life, will you allow me?

Sister and brothers is it everything we take permission for? My second question is the subject I want to talk about today. 

There are a few things in life we do not need anyone's permission for and they include:

-To Exist

-To be happy

-To create your plans and vision for living.

You do not need anyone's permission to exist. You were not created to subject your existence to anyone. So do not hold yourself back with your own hands.

You obviously do not need any permission to be happy. Like seriously? Laugh, jump, scatter the place, feel happy. Anyone that is angry should please be angry. Your happiness is your choice and you can decide to stay happy every single second of your life. (which I tell you is the best decision).

And finally you do not need permission to own a vision and a plan.

You might be asking, how don't I need permission, what is a mentor for? A mentor gives advice but does not create your plan/vision and has no right to write it off. A mentor just tells you ways to go about becoming successful with your plan. You are liable for your failures/success.

You don't have to take permission for your life if you must get to your place of destination. Sometimes you have to take the move because the more you keep waiting and take for granted your plans, the more you keep limiting yourselves. Most times without being bias, the people we try to take permission from are people that may intentionally want to slow us down, you wont blame them it's because you gave them the room to. The only persons you are permitted to seek permission from is YOU and your CREATOR

I actually learnt something new and I started looking up as often as i can in a day. Why? You may ask, it is because I want to walk in the consciousness of reminding myself that there is one who is seated above and watching all of us here on earth. and since i started that I tell you, there is nothing that I feel I want that I wont get, except it is not the best for me.

What am I saying? We do not need permission from anybody about life asides the Creator, if we must get anything from man then what we need are the ideas and they come from mentors. But if you have a plan/vision and you feel someone can tell you it is right or wrong, then that's far from the truth.

Our Creator to a large extent has even let us go, he said we should write the vision, make it plain and run with it. (Hab. 2:2 Paraphrased) He did not say seek permission then run with it.

The word also says "Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success." So you must have your plan first and seek advice. Nobody creates your plan for you.

So many people spend their lives waiting and preparing to live. They complain about a job they hate, how everything seems to go wrong, or how it’s just “not the right time.”

It’s like the whole world is conspiring against them. But is it?

When you make out the world to be a place that snuffs out your dreams, where nothing goes your way, then that’s what it will be but when you take control and open yourself to possibilities and have faith in allowing good things to happen, there’s a much better chance that your dreams won’t be just dreams anymore, they’ll be reality.

You do not go to a mentor and start looking, you go to a mentor when you have your plans written and you need ADVICE not permission to write your plans.

It is high time you owned your life,start taking action and start living. Yipeee....

So lets hear from you What are the things in your life that you have been ‘waiting for permission for,’ and what can you do about it TODAY? Share your story in the comments below.

Because I'm happy

Hello lovelies, hi hi..*hiding in my closet to type this post* as I am breaking my blogging schedule. But I just had to *am sorry* BECAUSE I AM HAPPY :))))))).

Yaay! It feels so good to be happy, it is a period of jumping around, smiling away, feeling beautiful, feeling like you do not have worries at the time and you are just living.

But then I wonder why can't this just be everyday *sighs*

Your happiness can only be everyday if you CHOOSE to make it so.

Guess someone is feeling as excited like myself, if yes ask yourself what actually made you happy today and why cant it happen every day.

Happiness is a choice, it is not bought with money, it is not said in words but it comes from Within. It comes from your inside.

The only place you loose happiness is within you and the only place you also find happiness is within you.

It is your sole option to decide to know the things that get at you and things that you let go. Most people have lost their happiness because they pick at everything, everyone says to them at every time. Kilode? Haba!!!  Why so angry?.

Life is a walk way o, why not decide to catwalk so that others will see. Make people vex instead of making yourself vex. When people try to get at you ignore the depth of their words and give a smile in return. (NOT SO EASY THOUGH, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY)

Some people are just set on a mission to annoy and a number of us are also receptive of their annoying self. It really should not be that way.

Think deep about this:

Whatever negative word people say to you does not determine the outcome of your life.

If that is so why waste time on what does not really matter, when you can be happy, jumpy, singing and clapping and working towards that mega future...

So are you ready to make everyday a happy day. Be the happiness virus carrier.

So if yes...lets dance together.....Where is Pharell?..  PHARELLLL!!! Oh here he goes....

-

Stay happy always. LOoooove you loads. Yes you!!!

Monday Inspiration: A new month, a new dawn to give thanks.

Hello lovelies,

Happy newwwwww monthhhh!!! I am so excited Christmas is almost here *coversface* and as the year draws to a close, I smile every day and keep thanking God for his faithfulness. And I am here to encourage you to do same. 

It has been a long year indeed, from 01/2015 till 11/2015, 1 month count down. What more can we do than remain thankful for all we have received thus far, for the gift of life, health, joy, peace, protection, provision and every other Jara that you got which includes, car, house, Iyawo (wife), Oko (husband), baby and many more, it has been God.

If you were never grateful or if you have not made it a habit to be grateful, it's time. 

A new month, a new count and a new week. It’s time to sit back and just keep writing about how wonderful life has been. Let us keep the complaints aside this time. Just keep writing and keep saying thank you, because God is indeed the reason you have not lost it all. 

You complain about money, what if there was no life. You and I know God has been so so good to us.

If you do not know how to start I will help you. 

Open this scripture and see why you should be thankful.

Psalm 103: 2-10

2- Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 

3 - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 

4-who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 

5-who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 

6-The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 

7-He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: 

8-The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 

9-He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10-he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 

If you think the Lord has done nothing for you go through this scripture over and over again and ask yourself if you owe Him thanks and if you still think there is nothing to thank Him for, please thank Him for me. *youknowhowwedo*. 

So through this week and this month let us make thanksgiving a habit. To give thanks to God for all he has done as we start getting ready to write our next year resolution. Yaaay!!!

I am sure that from today you will start giving thanks and in your thanks I know the good Lord will fulfil all that your heart still desires.

Have an amazing week and stay thankful.
