THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU... BUT NONE LIKE YOU*

_There will always be someone who knows more than you, who understands things faster and is better at academics_

_There will always be someone who is wealthier than you, who gets what he wants, earns more, and probably spends more_

_There will always be someone more beautiful/ handsome, who attracts compliments_

_*There will always be someone better than you .. but there can never be someone exactly like you, and that’s the part we don’t notice – because we are too busy trying to be like others*_

▪ You forget that even though God  raised some people over you, God has also raised *you* over others in your own way. 

▪ *But you don’t see that you have the most beautiful smile, or that you come from a loving home.* 

▪ *You don’t see that even though you’re not rich, you’ve managed to get that thing you’ve always wanted*

▪ *You may see yourself as ‘unattractive’, but you’re married to someone who would deny that with a passion*

 *You may deem yourself a failure because of a grade, but you’re succeeding in life itself*

_God will gift people with different things, God will raise them but there will always be someone higher in that rank_

_Thus we encircle the world, each of us intertwined above and below others_

 *but all of us are imperfect, because above us is the Most Perfect..... God.*

7 WAYS TO BE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

 

There are things we must carry and handle with extra- carefulness because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back together and once some of these things get broken, they can lead to huge damage and destiny wastage.

 

1. Your Name:

 

Your name is very important and fragile. Some names stink in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names spoilt the name. The way to handle your name with care is to be careful of your doings. Your actions can rubbish your name. A good name can open doors for you & your children and generations after you.

Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset.

 

2: Your heart:

 

Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded, and bitter today. One of the factors responsible for this is because many of these hearts' owners were careless with their hearts. You can guard your heart against being broken and bitter. Runaway from people, and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your heart like a crate of eggs. You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully whole!

 

3: Your purpose:

 

Your purpose is your destiny. If you don't handle it with the utmost care, it can slip off your hands, gaze, and get broken. So many things can come like pressure on this crate of an egg of purpose. Discouragement, lack of funds, anxieties, etc. These are things that may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don't allow them! Carry it with care. Carry your purpose away from people and things that may want to put pressure on it and break it.

 

4:  Your health:

 

You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you through your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with care. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can run the vision like you! Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless. Don't kill yourself before your time. Do your best to stay alive. WE STILL NEED YOU HERE ON EARTH. Don't use your FORK, KNIFE, GLASS, and your SPOON to dig your grave. Watch what you EAT and DRINK. Don't eat anything because it is edible and don't drink anything because it is appetizing. Always pray for divine immunization against sickness and diseases.

 

5: Your Marriage:

 

 SO MANY PEOPLE HANDLE THEIR MARRIAGE LIKE A CARTON OF INDOMIE NODDLE.

Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of an egg. It must not break! A broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage breaks, many things get broken with it. Remember, it takes two to tango. Husband and wife must always carry their marriage like an egg. It must not break!

 

6: Your words:

 

Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words. Once broken, you can't gather them up again. Many people are careless with their words. They speak violently and carelessly. They make empty promises and break them. Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful with your diction.

 

7: Your eternity:

 

Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on Earth without thinking of their eternity do not belong here! The matter of eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you will spend eternity, You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity.

 

Take the matter of your end very  seriously. Stop living carelessly as if you have an extra life. Don't live for the pleasure of this world. Live to Spread positives.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK!

 

WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK? 

 

 That will only cause you to reduce yourself to please others.

 

You need to decide what’s meaningful to YOU. Your journey does not have to look like everyone else’s. Follow your unique convictions and purposes and let go of the fact that some people may not agree or understand.

 

You only have one life and it’s yours. Make it meaningful and make it count, which may likely require you to not follow the crowd. Truth is, you were called to be a leader anyway.

 

If you think you are important, that's what you are. If you think you are inferior, that's what you are. If you think you are capable, then you can do it. 

 

If you think you deserve it, nothing can stop you from getting it. And if you believe in yourself, you can do great things!

 

You see, what people think of you shouldn't be your headache; it's their problem; not yours. You know why? Because what people think of you cannot make or unmake you! 

 

The only thing that has the power to make or unmake you is what you think of yourself. For what you think about, you bring about!

 

MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE HERE ON EARTH SURFACE TO HAVE YOUR IMPACT ON YOUR GENERATION. 

 

You become what you think about yourself. Think goodness, think greatness, think success! Compete with your self. You must be better than whom you're yesterday. 

 

Live the life you love. Work daily to outshine yourself. You must fulfill God's purpose for your creation. Never strive to outshine anybody. Be your competitor. 

 

Your blessings are always bigger than your disappointments. At times, the desire for more or someone better makes us lose what we already have in our lives.

 

When you lose materialistic things in life, you can still rebuild but if you lose the true people and their love, that’s when you become empty. Some people don’t value their loved ones and often find faults in them. They criticize them for getting all the little things their partners are doing to make their life more beautiful. They end up losing them, all they are left with is an empty life.

 

Value what you have and those you have in your life. Learn to be content, accept your loved ones, and appreciate your blessings.

 

Eagles don't struggle to fly. Struggling is the father of frustration. You must make sure you elevate your standard of quality. Make a higher demand for yourself. Raise your standard. 

Be passionate about your passion. Your passion matters. When you desperately want something and put your best efforts and remain persistent, results are bound to come.  

 

Go get it! Don't copy anyone. Be your original! Greatness is inside of you, manifest it.

 

Remember your word is your bond!

 

Never promise what you can’t deliver.

 

Always keep your word and only then will you be able to create a brand; a product of value.

 

Your name is the value you have so keep it solid and learn to earn the trust of others.

 

HOW ARE YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE?

 

LARRY  OR HARRY

Larry and Harry, two homeless men were given a chance to travel to a third world country on an all-expenses-paid trip.

They were told to carry nothing and return with nothing...

They were to make sure they spend all that was given to them.

Provision had been made for their expenses and welfare which they would get upon arrival at their destination.

The only caveat was that neither of them knew when they would be asked to return home.

As they arrived, they were both given a huge sum of money and a credit card with no limits but reminded to spend it all before returning to their home country.

At this, they became instantly wealthy by local standards.

Harry thought to himself. "Wow! This is my opportunity to live like a king for I don't know how long this would last".

So he went and rented a Ferrari and rented the best room in the best hotel in town.

He went to the best stylist, shaved, and transformed his looks.  He had parties every day. Everyone in the city thought the cars and the wealth were his and they loved and respected him for it.

But...

At the back of his mind, Harry knew he would go back home someday and leave all of it behind but he didn't want to think about it.

Right now he was living in the moment and enjoying himself to the fullest...

Larry, on the other hand, rented a small Honda to get him around town and stayed in a modest inn.

 He thought to himself. "This money will not last and I don't know when I am going back so I have to do something tangible with it."

 He decided to use it to change some people's lives while there was still time.

So he got busy, went out on the streets, and started making a difference.

 He didn't just give away money, rather he tried to help people be self-sufficient.

He paid off all the school fees of some promising young ones to enable them to get an education and take care of themselves and their families.

He found some responsible adults and funded them in a business that guaranteed they would be able to take care of their family and create employment.

He devised a means of helping some of the homeless people get off the street and getting them into a trade for he thought "I wish someone would do this for me when I get back".

In short, while Larry was there, he was busy changing lives...

Then after just two months, they were suddenly notified that it was time to go back.

They hadn't even finished spending all the money but still had to leave it all.

They both said their goodbyes and headed for the airport.

At the airport, they were given their original clothes to put back on before boarding the plane back to their country...

Harry reminisced on the good times he had but wasn't too happy that he was going back to his old life.

 How would he readjust to being homeless?

Larry on the other hand felt good. He came with nothing and is leaving with nothing, but he at least helped others with a chance at life and that alone meant the world to him.

Readjusting to being a homeless person wouldn't be a problem because he never lived like the wealth was his anyway and always had it at the back of his mind that he would leave it all someday.

But... Little did they know that each moment they spent on vacation was being secretly recorded and they would be rewarded accordingly.

Now, which one do you think would be cast back out to the slums as a homeless person, and which one would be entrusted with large sums of wealth and position of authority?

The same goes for our lives here on earth.

We are sent here on a mission and will return empty-handed except for the recordings of our dealings here on earth.

 Yet, many of us walk around thinking that the wealth we have is ours to keep forever.

We look at ourselves in the mirror and think that what we see will always be there, forgetting that we are wearing a temporary cloth, a human body, that would be required of us before we leave this world.

Our sojourn on earth is but a short time while eternity lasts forever. What we invest in this trip determines how much control we get on situations next trip and in eternity.

So... HOW ARE YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE? ARE YOU LARRY OR HARRY ???

SELF DEVELOPMENT TIPS

 

1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gifts and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

 

2. Get a member and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

 

 

3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open to create a network of friends and not just connection.

 

4. Always plan and be proactive. He that plans the future works less in the future.

 

 

5. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers, both religious and educational.

 

6. Attend seminars and training in any area you need to improve yourself- Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales, etc.

 

 

7. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.

 

8. Always help someone in need.

 

 

9. Create a legitimate multiple sources of income.

 

10. Save at least 10% of your income.

 

 

11. Live a debt-free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.

 

12. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.

 

 

13. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you consumed 1,00,000 words.

 

14. Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big Tv sit in front of them to watch men's big libraries.
15. Put control over your mouth I never say evil of any man, what you are not certain of should not be said, say good of all men.

 

16. Give out loans that you can, part with as a gift. So that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.

 

 

17. Invest a portion of your income, and be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed; sow it.

 

18. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go.”

 

19. Be involved in community services, control traffic, free lesson class for students, etc.

 

 

20. Keep going better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them, and make sure you get to the top 10% of your industry.

 

21. Make sure you engage in physical exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.

 

 

22. Pray often and know that for every success, God made it possible.

 

LIFE IS A QUESTION?

 

LIFE IS A QUESTION AND HOW DO WE LIVE IT IS OUR ANSWER

Love the life you live, and live the life you love. Live your life on purpose. Lighten up, always rejoice, laugh often. You only have to live your life once but if you do it well, once is quite okay for you.

 

Life does not allow us to go back and fix what we have done wrong in the past, but it does allow us to live each day better than our last.

 

Live your life well, make the best use of the hours, weeks, months, and years God is offering you to be here on earth. Envy no one, it will do you nothing good or desirable; it's an invitation to depression and blood pressure problems.

 

Never live by other people's opinions. Excuse yourself from living by dogma thereby living by other people's negative thinking about you. Use your initiative and allow your intuition to guide you, your inner mind won't deceive you.

 

Be courageous enough to make follow your heart!

 

In the end, have the understanding that it's not the years in your life that count, it is life in your years. Affect your generation positively.

 

Allow God to smile on you for being here. Your day is blessed.

 

I love that it's always the simpler things that are the most effective for getting us in gear to move towards our goals!

 

We tend to over-complicate the essentials like setting goals. Self-discipline type of things like waking up early to get a jump-start on the day.

 

Be awake to achieve success! Do not allow what you are passing through define you and thereby dim your future. Great things are still happening, dare to believe.

 

You are in charge, you are not ordinary. You are an extraordinary being! You are here on purpose. Give birth to that great idea that has been asking you to take a step on for a while.

 

Don, 't allow adversity to define you. Rise to achieve greatly. Adversity reveals the genius of a General. Turn that adversity around to stream of opportunities!

 

You will surely leap over walls! You shall soar like the Eagle. If your dream doesn't scare you, it's not big enough. Dream big dreams. Broaden your mindset.

 

Remember, this year is a leap year. You shall leap forward to achieve greatness. Commit your ways to god, do all that needs be done, then watch yourself.

 

 See you on Top!

ONE ON TEAM WORK

 

A businessman gets stranded on a lonely highway in the US. The tires of his car get stuck badly in a mud pool.

 

He looks around for help and finally finds an old farmer. The businessman goes to him asking for help to get his car out of the mud.

 

Farmer gauges the situation, and agrees to help him and says, let us take the help of Warwick, an old bull at the farm.

 

The farmer ties the bull to the car and starts shouting, "FRED, PULL!... JACK, PULL!... JOHN, PULL... WARWICK, PULL".

 

As the farmer keeps shouting these words, the bull Warwick gets the car out of the pool of mud.

The businessman is relieved but doubts in his mind.

 

He thanks the farmer and asks him, "you said the bull’s name was Warwick, and he was alone, then who were Fred, Jack & John?"

 

The Farmer answered, "see, Warwick is old and is also blind. He does not know he is pulling this car alone. The moment he hears the other names, he thinks he is in a team, and he gives his best".

So is the case with all of us. The very thought that there are others in this same situation as us, gives us a great deal of comfort, hope, confidence and enthuses us to put our heart and soul into any task that we undertake.

 

It's not without reason that the very word TEAM is said to stand for "Together Everyone Achieves More".

 

 

DISCOVER YOUR TALENT

FIND WHAT GIVES JOY TO YOU WHEN YOU DO IT!

The natural skill’s; you use that you have not acquired from any educational institution. The best time to discover your talent and place a high value on it is when life has knocked you down.

When you have lost  your job, missed out on a contract, failed in your exam or business or have just come out of a bad relationship. The time when feel lost and lonely as if you are alone in this world. I bet that is the time you can be sober to see every possibilities in life.

That is the time you are desperate to get back on your feet at all cost. That is the time you are searching your heart of hearts for that thing to push you back up from the valley of penury and depression.

LET ME PUT THESE QUESTION TO YOU, IN YOUR ADVERSITY WHAT LESSONS ARE YOU LEARNING OR DID YOU LEARN?

WERE YOU ABLE TO DISCOVER YOUR TALENT OR GIFT?

DIDN’T YOU JUST SUFFER FOR NOTHING?

THINK ABOUT IT!

It’s in you!! You deserve great success in life. Often times our challenges do one good thing; that is pushing is to discover what we truly posses inside of us!

Life is full of opportunities and  those who use there opportunities wisely are able to succeed. The opportunities never come to everyone at the same time, some people might be much ahead of you while some behind.

We are always expected to make a right choices but this doesn’t always happen. At times, we miss the right moment from the fear of trying or we let it go in the wait of something better. As time passes by, we lose the courage to give it, go and start to feel that we are too far behind in life to even begin. It’s never too late to start and there is no right moment to do it. If dreams are yours, every moment is yours too, you must begin as soon as you realise.

Look at your life as a journey to complete and destination to reach, as long as you make a move, you will always get there, sooner or later, but you surely will.

 

 

STAY FOCUSED                                                                                                                                  Desire to do something different, something better, an outstanding one different from what was done yesterday.

Outsmart yourself, look within_ the only person you should strive to be better than, is the person you were yesterday.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. It’s reality of life.

Your purpose is not to wake up, eat and then sleep! All other creatures do that too. But you have the mind, use it to think and to solve problems.

That’s what separates you from the rest of creatures! Find your purpose and live it. That is essence of life.

Be positively impacting on others in your own way. This is the whole essence of living and getting to fulfill life’s purpose.

STAY LIFTED AND BE SAFE

 

 

BE PASSIONATE ABOUT ACHIEVING YOUR LIFE ASSIGHMENT

Discover yourself

What is that small idea that you’ve got but yet to develop as result of fear or procrastination? Give your idea to another thought.

Some are just living, not exiting, because of not being able to discover their life purpose. Understand that not being able to discover one’s purpose can make one to serve others endlessly.

Align yourself with people of like minds, ignite your passion. Don’t spend your time, invest it. Put your vision across, success requires no apologies, opportunities abound for you to succeed, look  inward and look around.

Life is not always about what people do before us, but about what they say behind us. Many are friends when we are together more strength by telling them our weakness behind us.

Many will smiles with us when, the going is good and disappear when we need them  most.

No one should think he can never be let down. No one is too nice or too big to be let down. The most painful things about betrayal and disappointment is that it always come from people we, trust and love most.

Remember, those we choose as best friends may always choose someone else as their own best friends.

 

 

THING BIG

Put your life in order! To outlive others, you must put your life in order. Be organized. Remain focused, be filled with faith. Learn to listen to yourself, you are pleasurable when your  life is in good order.

Work on yourself, work on your dream. Make yourself indispensable in what you are doing. Learn everything; you need to know about your job and business.  learn what other’s do and if possible continue to learn.

Be available to give helping hands when necessary volunteer to help. To get to the top, learn to do the difficult jobs that no one else wants to do. If you are working from home enjoy it while you can and if you are waiting to get back to work stay strong it’s right around the corner.

Discover what you are so passionate about in life and move your life forward by fulfilling God’s purpose. Understand your niche and you will never be tired of living your life purposely. True leaders don’t have jobs, they have lifetime assignments. Live a purposeful life.

STAND UP FOR YOURSELF

Nobody will stand for you. don't expect others to treat you well, instead you treat yourself well.

Don't let other's opinions decide your life, instead you take complete responsibility for the way you live.

Life is not easy!! But that is the beauty of it. Nothing substantial comes easy. One simple tip to face life with strength- Embrace difficulties!

BE POSITIVE ENJOY LIFE💓

Deep silence, Sometimes means all it's not well

Deep silence symptoms of worries and confusion. and the mother of depression.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    When we don't hear from people so close or far to us, when all we hear is their silence from far distance, we should know all is not well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The stronger means of expressing problems is silence, sealed lips, folded arms, running mind and sleepless night's troubled heart, all these makes life uninteresting.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Though talking but silent in mind, yet loud in thinking. Deep thinking makes all ideas useless, it's the prerequisite for early grave.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Silent souls, crying deep inside with no flowing tears, invisible to many. The world seems to be crumbling right before them, they seems to have lost all  hopes. They wish the hands of time can be fast forwarded for their sake.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                When they finally speak, it's an unalloyed truth, it's the wish from the depth of a sow that can no longer keep it deep.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Those we don't see or hear from, far and near are speaking to us, only our deaf ears refuses to listen to the rhythms of their souls.
