To run into conclusions is to make up one's mind hastily on a matter or something. It also means to assume that something is actually what one has created in his/her mind or heard from certain sources, without taking out time to find out the full details, meanings, reasons..., for such decisions.
Many atimes, we are all guilty of this act. This could be attributed or traceable to our circles of relationships, the kind of friends we keep, the way we condition our minds, the things we see, hear, imagine, feel, as well as life's experiences. Sometimes, these decisions or conclusions are not orchestrated by us. And sometimes it is beyond our control due to the environment or atmosphere we find ourselves, as well as the value system or belief system we have or the ones the people we flock together with have. Just like we think it doesn't matter, these systems or attitudinal patterns begin to rob off on us. And then if not checked, it becomes the norm or a way of life.
One thing is for sure. Communication must go on. The human race is designed to receive and send out information one way or the other, the best way it can, depending on the method, approach, or platforms it decides to use or adopt.
You would quite agree with me that once an information is sent out, it never returns or comes back to the sender in the form or way it was sent out. This is because as it is sent out to the receiver, the receiver in turn goes (reads) through it, assimilate, analyse it, add his/her own meanings to it according to the way he/she understands it. And if such persons were to send this same message to other persons in a way different from the platform the sender used, especially when it is done orally, the information definitely changes or varies. Don't forget, the third party may also interprete it in his/her own way. That is how information sent across is being read (received), and given different interpretations.
However, we cannot stop communicating simply because some persons manipulate these informations for their own selfish gains. The tips below could be of help:
First, any information that you are not sure about or that you've not gathered facts from the parties involved, don't spread it.
Second, when informations are passed to you, try to figure out the intent of such information before you act on it.
Third, try to understand the information from the senders point of view. And if you are not clear about it, you can refer back to the sender politely.
Fourth, there are informations you cannot help but share especially when you are with people you are free with. The way out is to know which to say and what not to say.
Fifth, choose what to believe and what not to believe after you must have gathered your facts. Sometimes, the facts may not be the real determinant factor for making certain decisions. This is where your instincts are needed! In conclusion, never run into conclusion or jump into something you do not have full details about. For the fact that it didn't work out as planned, is a sign that you need to take your time or take a second look at it later... #Communication #Sender #Receiver #Interpretation #Full details #Take your time #Conclusion (decision).

Maturity
Maturity is not a function of age, size, body built, height..., but a full development in mental capacity expressed in response to the issues of life. It comes with a sense of responsibility to one's self and to others.
There are certain things in life that we cannot effectively handle if we are not matured. Maturity has nothing to do with your position, rank, or title. It is a school of thought on its own. It is a mind that is well trained with the necessary virtues to accommodate certain conveniences and inconveniences, and utilising it in its favour.
Even a child, when certain exceptional trait or conduct is found in such child, we may be tempted to say that such child is matured. Maturity helps you avoid certain issues and unnecessary disagreements. It helps you see problem as an avenue to profer solution. It creates order in homes, families, communities, societies, nation, and the world at large. It helps you manage sensitive issues which the ordinary or immature minds cannot handle.
Maturity helps us to think rationally. I mean thinking out of the box. In other words, it means to ponder, analyse, make the necessary adjustments before running into conclusion. If everyone were matured in their ways or dealings with people, some of the conflicts we experience today would not be on the increase, as individual would take responsibility for their actions, thoughts, and word, without playing the blame game.
Tell me how do we bear or endure certain downtimes in our lives if we don't have a matured mind. This is why certain people give up easily on life because they had not taken the time to build up their minds with the knowledge that life is not always a bed of roses. There would be the up times, and there would also be the down times. Notwithstanding, the difference in this is that the matured cannot only just handle these times, but also turn these times to its favour, such that others would begin to wonder if these persons are actually feeling the impact of these times.
Sometimes, life would not give you what you deserve. But it doesn't mean you are not on track, it just want to see if you really believe in yourself and what you do. Maturity entails that you smile whether in the good or in the bad times, for it is not all about that circumstance or situation, but about you. You determine how it turns out or how it affects you.
Furthermore, it is not all about the relationships, but about the one in the relationship. You are a dominant factor in that relationship. That is to say that you have a role to play in determining how it turns out. Your maturity steps up, when you know just how to manage the relationships in your life. Surely, some of them would not be that easy to go by (smooth), but if you pass the test, you would become wiser than you can ever imagine. #Full development #Mental capacity #Responsibility #Well tutored #Order #Rationality #Management #Conduct #Maturity.

What Makes Relationships Last
Relationship is not the absence of misunderstandings, disagreements, strains etc, but the ability to courteously, carefully, and wisely deal with it in such a way that you don't lose the other partner, but at the same time making your points clear or known.
Relationships are mutual dealings or connections or communications among persons or groups of persons. It spells out the responsibilities both parties owe to each other. It states either impliedly or expressly that if you are responsible for me, I am responsible for you, and not a one sided thing in which one refuses to show any form of commitment, and expects the other to be all over the places for him/her or go the extra mile for him/her. Who is now playing the role of the unwise?
Relationships are not made in heaven. The one in heaven is already settled, and doesn't need any reformation. Here on planet earth, it is the human race that establish relationships. And how that relationship turns out to be is determined by humans itself.
So if we are expecting our relationships to suddenly take a sharp turn without doing anything to work it out, then we may have to wait for ever and watch it crashland. Enough of the holier than thou attitude or should I be a little bit mild, by calling it sanctimonious attitude. It leads to no where.
In the first place, relationships exists between persons or group of persons who have different backgrounds, different value system, educational background, religious upbringing, cultural heritage, social class, race, colour, tongues, tribes... So tell me how do we deal with these differences? It is beyond just playing the nice or moral person. You have to work it out. There's a place for balance.
Has it ever occurred to you why certain relationships which in the eyes of others are intact and the best ever, up to the extent that people would do anything to model their lives after it, only for you to hear the shocker of your life that the relationship is no more. And you begin to wonder and ponder why such relationships should end up like that after having so much prospect or being the talk of the town. Dear, you don't want to go that far as to sourcing for the details before you learn to protect your relationships.
Relationsps are not easy to build but easier to destroy (bring down). The wise know where to draw the line when certain limits are crossed. You need to be sensitive and read between the lines. You don't have to win every argument just to be tagged:" The Superman", at the expense of your relationships. Know when to own up for peace to reign. For any relationship to thrive, there must be a place for compromise. This is the keyword (password) for any relationships.
I am aware of the fact that there are some relationships, no matter how hard you try, it just won't reach a compromise. Sweetheart, don't waste your time, energy, efforts, resources... on relationships that won't just agree, because in essense, there's no relationship without compromise. Otherwise, it sucks, drains, and deter you from moving forward. What makes relationships last, is the simple philosophy: As I rise, you rise with me, and when you are down, I would go the extra mile to get you up whether I am happy or not. #Misunderstanding #Disagreements #Carefulness #Wisdom #Responsibility #Connections #Communication #Different backgrounds... #Relationships.

Go The Extra Mile
To go the extra mile simply means to try a little harder or press a little further in order to achieve something, after you have already made or utilise a lot of effort. It is the stamina to make additional efforts even when you appear to have made enough inputs.
Going the extra mile is never an easy task especially when you are tired, worn out, and have reached your wit's end. It takes a lot of courage, vigor, inner strength, as well as determination, to go the extra mile. Imagine you returning from a busy, mind blowing and tiring day, and just when you are about to take some rest, an emergency call steps in requesting that you carry out a given task. Or just when you thought you have reached your limits, and it's so evident to see that you can't go further, and then you feel a hunch or intuition, perhaps a still small voice, asking you to take it a step further. It could just be that you are famished, exhausted, and feeling sleepy, yet with a lot of task ahead being planned out for the day, and then a call beckons on you, requesting that you respond immediately. Sometimes, you may not have a ready solution to the problem, and yet life demands that you reciprocate.
What a deep breath! I can sense a sigh of wow, how do I go about this? Where do I start from? I don't think I am ready for this! This will be too tiring for me! I have had a busy day already! I need to sleep, my bed is calling for me! What if I postponed this task till tomorrow? And even if I start, am I sure I am going to complete this task, considering my present state?
All these are the thoughts and questions that may run through our minds simultaneously, giving us reasons why we cannot execute such task, hence seeing the task as gigantic and difficult to accomplish.
Naturally, it is not an easy one to dare, let alone to venture because all signals could be pointing to the negative at such moments. But then, there's a higher way, and an auction that could propel you into action depending on whether you are able to see beyond those limitations at such moments.
Sweetheart! You have to see beyond your physical strength and rely on the supernatural as you take steps to follow through such task. And as you take one step, and another, and another..., taking off your mind from the impossibility to the possibility, eventually, you would discover that you could do it after all.
Are you faced with situations that looks insurmountable? May be you've tried all possible means that you know how, and you don't know which step to take further? Perhaps, you are faced with deadlines that you need to meet up with, and you don't know how to go about it. It could be that you've tried several times and failed. I encourage you today to go the extra mile!!! #Additional effort #Stamina #Courage #Vigor #Inner strength #Determination #Intuition #Possibility #Supernatural #Achievement.

Online Or Offline
Who says you have to be online always before you can earn a living or before your business... can thrive. And who says business and what have you is easily accessible and straight to the point (direct) when it is offline than when it is online, when you can actually go the extra mile or take it to the next level by spreading it online. The emphasis here is to state the importance of both words in the above subject matter tagged "Online Or Offline", and how it applies in our daily lives, depending on which you are involved or engaged in at a given period of time.
Online in general terms, refers to a regular route of a railroad or bus or airline system, or something being in progress as at now. However in this context, online would be referred to as any activity that is carried out on social media via the internet. It includes emails, instagram, twitter, watsapp, google (+), bbm, Facebook, blogs, you name it.
On the other hand, Offline generally means not being in a regular route of a transportation system or not being under control of the central processing unit. However, in this context, it is referred to as any activity that is carried out without going online. Online and offline activities help to boost the social and economical development of any community, society, nation and the world at large.
It is no news that even with the present rate of civilization, internet activities, as well as the advent or emergence of the information technology (IT) system, there are still some people who are not involved in online activities, while some may be involved but passively. Be it as it may, communication must go on. This is the main purpose while this writeup is established. The aim is to separate the one from the other and to state the relevance of each one, independent of the other. Although, there are times the two merge together to form a formidable force. Notwithstanding, the two are independent of each other.
With the aid of examples, we can clearly classify where each belong and how we can effectively utilise them both independently and collectively.
Examples of online activities include: online business transactions (buying and selling), registration of domain names, promotion of brand, organisational or company names as well as its product and services, advertising of goods and services, spreading the good news, uniting with family, friends and loved ones, as well as making new friends via chating, commenting, posting, sharing, tagging... on the various social media platforms.
Examples of offline activities are: phonecalls, text messages, one on one meetings as well as other activities that doesn't require you going online. There are times messages can be sent to the receiver via online, and there are times you can update your status offline and it will reflect depending on the social platform you are utilising at a given time.
Like I said earlier on, the phrase "Online Or Offline", can work together effectively, and can also work independently effectively depending on the one you have access to at a given time. However, a combination of the two makes you a formidable force. #Online #Google (+) #Blogs #Instagram #Twitter #Facebook #Watsapp #Email #BBM #Offline #Calls #Test messages #One on one meetings #Others...

What Is It Worth?
Your life, your relationships, your family, your children, that house, that car, that job (work), that business, that industry, that asset, workshop, office, shop..., what is it worth? Is it worth fighting for or dying for? Is it worth the everyday stress? Is it worth the hardwork? Is it worth the hussling and bustling? If it is worth your time, then it should be worth the wait.
Most people in the world today put in all the efforts they know how, only for it to yield below what is expected. Sometimes, it looks like we are all in a competition, with each persons trying to outdo the other. And then it goes on and on like a trend with no one determining when it would end. For some persons, even though they know that it doesn't augur well for them, they just want to stay abreast with the pretence that all is well, trying to impress while it's eating them up inside. For how long are you going to carry on like that?
Much as healthy competition is a prerequisite in modern day businesses and what have you, it is pertinent to note that you are not in competition with anybody. Real competition is the competition you make within yourself so as to be better than yesterday.
It is good to be up and doing, industrious, hardworking etc. However, you can still do all of these without getting the necessary results if it is not your time. The job (work), business, relationships, assets..., that we are over protective about, we can wake up one day, only to discover that they are no more. These are the uncertainties amidst the certainties of life. So no one should ever feel like he/she has monopoly to life. Life gives, and sometimes it takes away. Where then is the safe haven?
Do all you can, I mean your best to get by or to stay abreast in life, but don't be so much in a hurry. Wait for your time. Know when to launch out, and when to refrain. Know when to follow your instincts rather than what others expect of you. Know when to keep the pace, and when to refresh. Know your limits, and when to seek for help (support). Make futuristic plans. Make provisions for unexpected events, no matter how small or big. Be at alert. Don't always come up with the notion that everybody is OK by you. Mark those who really love you even though their weaknesses come to play at times. At least that is understandable and you can deal with it than those who pretend to love you but are killing you slowly. Don't hate those who don't like you but learn from the experiences they put you through, and be careful in your dealings with them. Know the people who are willing to stand by you whether you have or not, and those who only come around you when they sense you have. Know where to draw the line between these persons and handle them with wisdom.
Don't overwork yourself! You don't have to always be around when there are people around who can handle a given task. You can diversify! I mean use the time for something else that is productive. Don't tie things, whatsoever it is, to yourself such that if you're not around, it won't move on. Instead, let them miss you dearly, but let the work go on... #Worth #Value #Healthy competition #Yourself #Industrious #Wisdom #Over protective #What is it worth?

Better Than Yesterday
Nothing is worth fighting for, except that which makes you better than yesterday. If it earns me lasting answers, I am in it!
(+ Uche Adiogu).
To be better is to have desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified. It tells of something superior in quality or condition or effect. Better is a comparative of good, and it means to be superior to another (of the same class or set or kind) in excellence, or quality or desirability or suitability. It also means to be more highly skilled than another. Yesterday, on the other hand, is the day immediately before today.
We learn every day. We encounter different experiences everyday. Work go on everyday. Different activities play out everyday. Birthdays are celebrated everyday, just the way lives are lost everyday. New technology spring up everyday. Deals are signed everyday. Business thrives everyday. Some make profits while some encounter losses. Relationships are built everyday while some ties are dissolved. Decisions are made everyday. Some are made in your favour while others may not be in your favour. All of these and much more, takes place everyday to making you understand the flexibility, uncertainty, and certainty of life.
Life is like a swinging pendulum. Today may be your turn, and tomorrow may be another's turn. It take turns, and therefore not a place or space to brag.
I have seen people drag, strive, wrestle, or fight for a particular thing..., or one position or the other. The most funniest of it all is seeing people fight, and when asked the reason for fighting, such persons don't even know why they fight let alone to tell or explain.
Honey! Nothing is worth flexing your muscles for, if it is not making you a better person in anyways, than who you were yesterday. By a better person, I mean a person of value, with the right virtues, with the right state of mind, of excellence, character, positive attitude etc.
The essence of life, and what really makes life worthwhile, is to look back at yesterday and nodd in optimism, that you were not who you used to be. And even if you have any doubts about your present status, be thankful because no matter where you find yourself in the map of life, and you really want to be sincere, you would attest to the fact that some things have turned around.
So the next time you think about a fight, please ask some vital questions like: is it going to improve me mentally, physically, materially, spiritually and otherwise? Will it make me better than yesterday? Will it make my dreams come through? Will it make me fulfill my purpose? Will it take me to my destination? The above questions and lots more, if answered sincery, would make you pick your battles, hence making you a better person. #Better #Excellence #Positive quality #Desirability #Suitability #Everyday #Turns #Fight #Improvement #Purpose #Dreams #Destination.

We learn every day. We encounter different experiences everyday. Work go on everyday. Different activities play out everyday. Birthdays are celebrated everyday, just the way lives are lost everyday. New technology spring up everyday. Deals are signed everyday. Business thrives everyday. Some make profits while some encounter losses. Relationships are built everyday while some ties are dissolved. Decisions are made everyday. Some are made in your favour while others may not be in your favour. All of these and much more, takes place everyday to making you understand the flexibility, uncertainty, and certainty of life.
Life is like a swinging pendulum. Today may be your turn, and tomorrow may be another's turn. It take turns, and therefore not a place or space to brag.
I have seen people drag, strive, wrestle, or fight for a particular thing..., or one position or the other. The most funniest of it all is seeing people fight, and when asked the reason for fighting, such persons don't even know why they fight let alone to tell or explain.
Honey! Nothing is worth flexing your muscles for, if it is not making you a better person in anyways, than who you were yesterday. By a better person, I mean a person of value, with the right virtues, with the right state of mind, of excellence, character, positive attitude etc.
The essence of life, and what really makes life worthwhile, is to look back at yesterday and nodd in optimism, that you were not who you used to be. And even if you have any doubts about your present status, be thankful because no matter where you find yourself in the map of life, and you really want to be sincere, you would attest to the fact that some things have turned around.
So the next time you think about a fight, please ask some vital questions like: is it going to improve me mentally, physically, materially, spiritually and otherwise? Will it make me better than yesterday? Will it make my dreams come through? Will it make me fulfill my purpose? Will it take me to my destination? The above questions and lots more, if answered sincery, would make you pick your battles, hence making you a better person. #Better #Excellence #Positive quality #Desirability #Suitability #Everyday #Turns #Fight #Improvement #Purpose #Dreams #Destination.

Beyond The Natural
To be natural is to be in accordance with nature. Simply put, anything that is relating or has concerns for nature, is said to be natural. Nature itself is the essential qualities or characteristics by which something is recognised. And the question goes: what do you see? Do you see what is just written or beyond what the natural eyes can see? Do you see things the way they are or do you see things via your inner eyes.
Vision is the formation of a mental image of something that is not perceived as real and is not present to the senses. It is like calling those things that be not as though they were. Vision doesn't wait for the picture to be clear or certified before it registers a mental image. It is after the capturing of the image, that the picture becomes polished, modified..., and refined to suit the taste of the image. Vision is seeing ahead of time and putting in efforts and structures in place to aligning to what is seen. Vision doesn't wait for all the necessary conditions to be favorable before it registers a mental image. It is in the process that favourable conditions begin to fall in place to transform what has be registered into reality.
For the fact that we see beyond the natural does not in any way suggest that we won't encounter some set backs or obstacles on the way. In fact, it is the more reason why you would go through some resistance because others may not see what you see until it becomes reality. Yours is to stay focused, take things step by step amidst the pressure, rush, and yellings from external bodies. And as you continue therein, eventually, you would arrive at your destination.
Are you still doubtful about your dreams and visions because the present circumstances doesn't look optimistic or encouraging? Are you still scared of the unknown or considering what people would say or how they would treat you when you stay focused? What if I placed an emphasis on the question like: what do you care about most in your life? Is it the approval of people or the conviction from within? Your answer to these questions and more could pave the way to greater heights.
Sometimes, you have to encourage yourself. Sometimes, you have to speak the word over your life. It is not based on how you feel but on what needs to be done.
There's the supernatural, and there's the natural. Before anything happens in the physical (natural), it has already taken place in the realm of the supernatural. The one cannot be mistaken for the other. What makes the supernatural superior, is because it steps in when the natural reaches its limits. It is safer not just to see with the natural eyes but also to see with the supernatural. #Natural #Vision #Mental image #Structures #Encounters #Refined #Conviction #Encouragement #Step by step #Supernatural.

Choose What To Let In
There are a million and one side attraction in the world today that are strong enough or captivating to indulge and keep you busy until you are fallen for it, head over heels. These attractions are so powerful that they work on your mind, thoughts, and imaginations. And if care is not taken, they overtake or overwhelm the individual, persons or group of persons, causing such persons to yield to their demands. As trendy, charming, and harmless as some people would say, these things has resulted to certain conflicts that sometimes we wonder where it all started.
These things come in the form of what we see, feel, hear, think about, imagine and what have you. As appealing as people think they are, these things creep in, saturate the whole system and like we think we are in control, they begin to influence our decisions, thought pattern etc. However, it is the one you allow access into your heart that gets the best part of you. The question is what do you let in?
The eye is part of the sense organs that is very sensitive in nature. It stares at an information or a piece of work, process it, make its commendations, and transmit it to the necessary organs for interpretation.
The ear is another vital sense organ. It receives sound waves and send it to the necessary organ that would process it, as well as interprete it. Just like the eyes, the ear is vulnerable if not managed properly. Whatever it hears, it is gullible to believe and act on it, except otherwise curtailed and restricted.
The brain (mind) is the seat of the faculty of reason which is responsible for thoughts and feelings. It is the place where signals received by the eyes and ears are sent for processing and interpretations. It is at this point, that the human race is able to make certain decisions pending on its interpretation.
The heart is the locus of feelings and intuitions. It is the place where the issues of life flows. The heart can be likened to the spirit of mankind. Whatever cannot get your heart, cannot get you. It doesn't matter the interpretation done by the mind, once the heart doesn't accept or received it, it is as null and void. This is the reason why there are lots of counsellings, admonitions..., as to why people should guide the heart deligently, for out of it, are the basics of life. You need to be very selective as to what you let into your heart.
What we see, hear, think about, imagine, and what have you, somehow, has an impact on us. But your choice as to which you let into your heart can make a whole lot of difference. Be wise! Shield your heart to the last drop of your blood like your life depends on it, and you would remain unshakable, unmovable, and unstoppable. #Attractions #Eyes #Ears #Brain #Mind #Interpretation #Heart #Spirit #Access #Unshakable #Unmovable #Unstoppable.

Life Goes On
For the fact that certain events occurred or played out when they did, doesn't mean life won't go on. Each of us has one expectation or the other that we look forward to receiving answers to. Each individual's wish, desire, prayer..., is to experience lasting solutions to one problem or the other. In fact, if you open the hearts of certain persons or at least if you could just read their minds, you would find a lot of pressing issues all bottled up in so many disguises. And then, for those who cannot control themselves, they end up spilling it out, thereby adding to the existing problem.
There's no way we can find answers if we don't identify where the problem is coming from. And even when we identify these problems, we still need wisdom to tackle it. It is a step by step thing, starting from the roots, and then to the top. This days people tend to overlook certain principles, guidelines, counsels, instructions, admonitions... All they want is how to get to the top by all possible means, not minding who gets hurt or not. To think that certain persons suddenly wakes up from their sleep, and all that could ring in their minds is how to bring people down, so as to get to the top. What a world! Such person(s) actually needs a mind renewal, otherwise such persons are not fit to be called your friend(s).
Life is governed by ordinances and principles. Each settings or system has a code of conduct or a structure put in place by which it runs. Just the way a house cannot be built without considering the foundation, is the way we cannot effectively build on existing structures without acknowledging and studying what kind of structure is put in place. The same is applicable to the human race. You need people to attain certain heights, just the way people need you. A wise person picks his or her battles.
The good thing about life is that it offers us a wide range of options, viable ones for that matter. Not only that it offers us various options, it offers you the will power to choose which one best suits you, and still whispers to you via a still small Voice, the implications of certain choices. Why some still decide to select the wrong ones, tells a lot about the kind of attachments they uphold. And to think that after some had made the wrong choices, yet blaming it on someone else, appears ridiculous. We need to come to the point where we become responsible for our actions, and not to blame it on others.
I've come to certain heights in my life, when I try not to shift blames to others for what happens to me, even if they were at fault. It is my resolve, and it is not easy especially when it hurts so badly. And sometimes I am being tempted to pay back but then there is more to life than the eyes can see. Life goes on...
If people can first of all examine themselves before shifting blames to others, conflicts would be reduced to a reasonable extent. You only become wiser when you learn and mature from the different experiences life put through. #Expectations #Answers #Identifying problem #Conflicts #Mind renewal #Wisdom #Odinances #Principles #Will power #Chioces #Still small voice #Life goes on.

Attachments
An attachment is a feeling of affection for a person or an institution. It is a predisposition to liking something, someone, person(s), friendship, family, institution, organisation, business, company, corporation etc. It is a positive way of displaying warmth or affection.
We all have things that we are attached to one way or the other, and these attachments determine a lot of things like the way we see life, respond to life issues, behave, as well as the way you comport yourself (code of conduct). Whatever you attach yourself to, you are most likely to become it consciously or unconsciously. It is only wise to be selective in what one gets attached to. Your attachments determines your pace in life to some extent. It can either connect you to other profitable or productive attachments or drag you backwards. It can mode you or break you. It can increase your worth(value) or decrease your value. It can broaden your horizon or limit your scope. It is not wrong in any ways to be attached to something, as it comes naturally. The only draw back, is to be attached to the wrong things.
During trying times, it is your attachment to whatever you are attached to that helps you stick to it. Outside from that, there would be no relationships whatsoever. Your attachments to anything whatsoever speaks louder than mere words. Anything you are not attached to, no matter how you try to paint it or cover it up, you won't stay true or stand by it. The earlier we tell ourselves the deep truth, the better we would become. It starts by quitting certain tendencies portraying that we are committed or attached to a particular course, whereas our hearts are not there.
It is very easy to know when you are attached to something. Did I hear somebody say how? It is not far fetched:
Close Your Ears To External Bodies. When you are attached to anything, you close your ears to external bodies. That is to say that you don't welcome any form of falsehood in rumours, propangada, representations...
Protect The Image Of Your Attachment. No matter what comes, through the ups and downs, you would make efforts to protect the image of your attachment from any form of harm or danger.
Seek To Improve Your Attachment. Your influence in whatever ways robs off on anything you are attached to. As much as it lies within your powers, you would want to go out of your way to improve your attachments. It could be physical, material, mental, financial, spiritual and otherwise.
Support Your Attachments. Support comes in diverse forms according to the need.This comes in handy when you are attached to something.
Invest In Your Attachments. It is what you feed, that comes back to feed you. When your heart is in something..., you want to invest in it, in which ever way you can.
The above are my thoughts, and I know there are a lot of ways to know when you
are deeply attached to anything. Feel free to explore... #Feeling of affection #Someone #Person #Family #Friendship #Relationship #Institution #Organisation #Company #Corporation #Attachments.

Excellence Doesn't Hide
Nothing worthwhile or good ever hide itself without being noticed, no matter what is up against it. As long as it is excellent, it will attract the right kind of attention irrespective of what others feel or think about it. Excellence is the quality of distinguishing one's self from others or from the crowd. It can also be referred to as the possessing of good qualities in high degree. Excellence is a brand name on its own and it thrives wherever it turns to. It doesn't announce its arrival but when it lands, you can't help but acknowledge its presence. It allows its admirers to make commendations on their own volition.
Though sometimes less attention is being given to it in place of mediocrity, yet it cannot be stopped from shining, because that is what it is known for and that is what it likes doing. It is therefore not out of place to ask the following questions like: what are you known for? What do you like doing? If you were to make chioces, would you prefer mediocrity or excellence? Are you one of those who detest excellence because of the processes or procedures it observes?
Well, the basic truth is that excellence has no attachments for mediocrity but has respect for human rights. This is because it believes that each human has the inborn abilities to influence the course of life, and as such, deserves to be given a chance. However, this can only be determined by choice. You have a right to choose which path you deem fit without any form of duress. It is these choices that determine the output, outcome, or results that is achieved. We can only force a horse to the streem, but cannot force it to drink water. It is what you resolve on that you actually follow up on.
Excellence is not the end but a means to the end. What makes it stand out is the rigorous processes that it passes through before it comes out as gold(or diamond...) Everybody like the word "Excellence". Off course, who doesn't want to be associated with success! But then excellence is not a rush or an "everything goes syndrome". It has its rudiments, principles it lives by, as well as the virtues it upholds. How do we go about excellence?
Excellence is not complicated! It is simple!! Start from where you are, either big or small. Create, innovate, imagine yourself being at your very best or at the peak of what your hands find to do. See it, and then make efforts to make it a reality. Sometimes, it may not happen as planned but as you keep at it, you would begin to experience favourable results. #Mediocrity or Excellence #Chioce #Human rights #Process #Brand name #Presence #Virtues #Excellence.

People Will Always Be People
The word people suggest any group of human beings(men or women or children) collectively. People form the integral part of the human life. It doesn't only make life worthwhile, but makes life go round. We talk with people. We live among people. We work with people. We transact business with people..., and we rapport with people. We cannot avoid people no matter how hard we try, because people have roles to play in whatever we do.
However, before the advent of the word people, the individual existed which is you. In other words, there can never be people without the individual (you), just the way we cannot count two without starting from one.
Perhaps, we need to examine or state categorically what makes up the word people or from what number does the word people begin to count. Simply put, once you have two or more persons, it is automatically called people. So if we do the maths, the equation would be: you + you = people.
I've always heard some persons attach so much importance to the word people as if the individual never existed or as if people are the final bus stop. What a misnomer!
You don't know the strong by the people around such persons alone. You know the strong by the ability to remain firm whether there are people around such persons or not. In fact you really know the strong by his/her ability to stand alone against all odds. Not that such persons desire to stand alone, but that the circumstance at such moment requires that such person(s) takes a bold or brave step.
In life, there would be times when life would shake you a bit. Then it would become very clear that people would always be people. Some would misunder you. Some would say false things about you. Some will leave you alone. Some will turn you down... And then it would just be you and the whole wide world. So are you going to give in or throw in the towel because the people that should be by you cannot be found. At such moment would life require that you draw from your inside. Only then would you realise that before the people existed, you were in existence, and that there is nothing within your capacity you cannot handle if you are determined.
This is not to play down on the importance of people in your life because you need people to get to where you need to be in life. The emphasis here, is to draw the line between you and the people, and to place the people where they belong. Remember, people will always be people. So if you know who you are, be who you are. #Individual #You #Group #People #Equation #You + You = People.

Open Up
How long will you conceal a lot of things while it is eating you up gradually? How long will you freeze in silence while certain events continue to unfold? Are you still going to cover up that unpleasant encounter for ever when you have an option of sharing it with someone who at least you can trust and be free? Are you going to pretend and act like all is well, when there is something bordering you or something you need immediate answers to? Or may be you are searching for the right moment to spill it out? Or perhaps you don't know who to trust anymore as a result of the countless experiences you've been through in the hands of certain persons or people?
Well, these things are natural but sweetheart if you are waiting for the right time, mood, atmosphere, evironment, place, event..., before you let it out, you may never find the ideal moment. However, you can find a suitable moment when you make up your mind to open up at least to someone you can confide in. Study the times, know when to let go the pressure, stress, burden, problem, pain, fears, troubles, need, cares of life..., and be free.
To open up is to talk freely and without suppression. However, to open up in this context, does not suggest fake propaganda or false rumours or hate speeches but a positive feeling that enhances freedom of speech without inhibition, especially when it has to do with sensitive issues bordering someone.
Dear, some people don't really care or give a damm about what you are going through. Neither are they willing to ask you about your welfare. What the majority of the people are after, is their own interest. So if you don't open up when you should to credible people, you may never find the help or support that you desperately needed. I do not mean begging around for no just meaning when one can actually do something to better his/her life. I mean having a just course that needs to be funded, supported, or promoted but for circumstances beyond your control, you don't have the wherewithal to execute it or either you are limited in certain ways.
Don't be shy! Don't suffer in silence when you can make some guided moves. There are people who have what you need to get where you need to be. Be friends with them. Build relationships with such persons. Don't give them the impression that you want to pester them. Just let it flow! Depending on the extent of the relationship, you can now solicit for the help or support of such persons. And if you are turned down, after taking a bold step, don't give up on them, and don't be discouraged as well.
I've had times, when I needed some support even from people I thought would reciprocate, and I was amazed that it was the ones I least expected that encouraged me. I still didn't give up on them but I knew better, and I am still learning. Just to make it plain, there are still people whose favour and support I would still need to get to my next level, hence, I am not too careful to open up when I can and should. #Sensitive issues #Funds #Support #Credible people #Frienship #Build relationship #Open up.
Well, these things are natural but sweetheart if you are waiting for the right time, mood, atmosphere, evironment, place, event..., before you let it out, you may never find the ideal moment. However, you can find a suitable moment when you make up your mind to open up at least to someone you can confide in. Study the times, know when to let go the pressure, stress, burden, problem, pain, fears, troubles, need, cares of life..., and be free.
To open up is to talk freely and without suppression. However, to open up in this context, does not suggest fake propaganda or false rumours or hate speeches but a positive feeling that enhances freedom of speech without inhibition, especially when it has to do with sensitive issues bordering someone.
Dear, some people don't really care or give a damm about what you are going through. Neither are they willing to ask you about your welfare. What the majority of the people are after, is their own interest. So if you don't open up when you should to credible people, you may never find the help or support that you desperately needed. I do not mean begging around for no just meaning when one can actually do something to better his/her life. I mean having a just course that needs to be funded, supported, or promoted but for circumstances beyond your control, you don't have the wherewithal to execute it or either you are limited in certain ways.
Don't be shy! Don't suffer in silence when you can make some guided moves. There are people who have what you need to get where you need to be. Be friends with them. Build relationships with such persons. Don't give them the impression that you want to pester them. Just let it flow! Depending on the extent of the relationship, you can now solicit for the help or support of such persons. And if you are turned down, after taking a bold step, don't give up on them, and don't be discouraged as well.

Responsibility
Responsibility is a form of trustworthiness or the trait or act of being answerable to someone or for something or being responsible for one's conduct. It is a social force that subjects you to the courses of action demanded by that force.
Love is not a fairytale but a huge responsibility. It is not a platform for poetry and drama rehearsals but a live broadcast spelt out in words and actions. It is beyond the phrases "I love you", "I cannot live without you", "I will die for you", "I will do anything for you...", even though they are part of the wooing devices. Love is reality as you see it. That is to say that it is more revealing than we can ever imagine.
Anyone who claims to love you should understand you in all ramifications: your words, action, gestures, body language , silence, needs, priorities... And even if such persons don't understand you completely, and the person truly loves you, he/she would take out time to learn by studying you closely. This helps to reduce the rate of misunderstandings drastically.
Don't tell me you love me when you have what I need, and you know I need it, and then you pretend not to get the message clearly... The worst is even when the person in question had to beg for it times without number, and you know this person is genuine about the request, which you know such request won't cost you anything, and then you give excuses just to get rid of the person. Only for the person to get it elsewhere, and then you want to eat from or partake from it... How does that follow?
You were not designed to be impassive. It is when certain tendencies are not addressed in our lives, that they begin to malfunction. You were designed to be the solution people see, as well as the legacy others follow.
At least if you can trust someone to a certain extent, and you know you can be of help or collaborate with such person(s), it won't bite, if you do such person(s) a direct message on social platforms, call, email, chat on facebook, twitter, instagram, bbm, watsapp..., as well as text messages. This is the essence of the social media platforms. Life itself is a risk! Your part is to make sure you are convinced about the person(s), and then you can take that giant and bold step. As you do, you attract goodness to yourself, as what goes around comes around.
Responsibility is two ways: being responsible for one's conduct, and being answerable to someone or for something.
Being responsible for one's conduct is to lay down principles to live by and discipline one's self to live by it such that one doesn't blame another for his/her words or actions. On the other hand, being answerable to someone or for something is to be accountable to such person in whatever one does. It could be to give reports, feedbacks on a days job or daily activities.
The one I just can't fathom is when certain persons who don't take responsibility for you, yet wants you to answer to them. It doesn't work that way. Responsibility is a mutual thing. You stand in for me, and I stand in for you. Though the response may differ in nature, but then, there's a reciprocation somewhere. #Love #Live broadcast #Reality #Responsibility #Conduct #Principle #Discipline #Accountability.

Love Unusual
Love, sweet love! Love that knows no bounds!! Love unconditional!!! Love beyond measure!!!! Priceless love!!!!! Love so genuine, pure, matchless, and indescribable!!!!!!
Love is an experienced teacher. It is a great affection or liking for someone, person(s), people, or group of people which is beyond what the ordinary mind can accommodate. It is the feature of being a strong positive emotion of regard that makes love extraordinary, hence the word unusual.
To be unusual is to be definitely out of the ordinary or unexpected. It can be seen as slightly odd or even a bit weird. It is a state of doing the common things in an uncommon and extraordinary way. Off course, you can predict the outcome when love becomes unusual. This is where love takes a ride to a greater horizon and be sure to mark your lines so you don't embark on a journey of no return. Nevertheless, one thing is sure, genuine love would always find its way home.
Love thrives in season and out of seasons. This is because love is suppose to be a daily thing and not just a seasonal affair. However, showing love in season is not a bad idea.
Being current and conversant with times and seasons such as the valentine season, which comes alive every February, its only wise to chip it in or give it the treat it deserves.
Valentine's day is a day set aside worldwide for the exchange of tokens of affection. While I may not go into certain details about the history or features surrounding this special day, it is pertinent to emphasise its intent. The idea behind this special day is to reach out to people of different works of life, showing them that someone cares, understands, and feel what such persons feel, and as such, moved to put smiles on such faces as well as make them share the joy of the season and benefits thereof.
Although, the intent has been misunderstood by some persons, but then it doesn't stop those who understand its true meaning to practice it. It should be a season to express genuine love and not a season to place emphasis on getting a val, such that anyone who doesn't have a val is now left out. It shouldn't be so, as each person should be given a chance to feel the season rather than worry about a val. For the single fact that it is Val's day, makes it more suitable for celebration, and not a period to feel like one is not being treated fairly.
Have you shown some love to the people you love today? Remember, it is the love that you give out in diverse ways you know how to, that comes back to you in greater measures. Love never expires or loses its worth, no matter what time or day. Take advantage of the season while having at the back of your mind that love is still valid even in the out of seasons, and show love to someone out there. Tell your loved ones today, that you love them! #Great affection #Strong positive emotion #Extraordinary #Unexpected #Love unusual #Reach out.

Priceless
To be priceless is to have an incalculable monetary, intellectual, or spiritual worth. It is the quality of being cherished and beyond value. People are known to be priceless when you can't find a qualifier term to ascribe to them, especially when such person(s) is worth more than gold or the highest monetary denomination you can ever imagine.
Being priceless doesn't happen a day. It starts with the little things we do, the daily routines, the hardwork, the building of character, the attitude to life, the condition of the mind, as well as the habits that is formed over time.
These virtues continue to count as more time and efforts are put into it to making it better. And as such persons remain focused and determined in what he/she does, these virtues begin to find expression while others take notice, appraise, and make their own deductions.
At first, it would look like nobody is watching or taking records. But on the contrary, there are people putting one or two together. Is it in the words, actions, attitude, manner of approach, and aptitude? Yes, these things counts like nothing else. It helps to build up your profile. And like you never cared, unknown to you, the virtues you call a normal way of life is being credited to you as a rare virtue, and then it goes on and on until it becomes a brand name, and a crown for goodwill.
Now people can freely relate with you. Perhaps then, they were not hundred precent(100%) sure as you were still going through the process, while they watch, monitor, read, and keep track of you, your lifestyle, and your way of life. Sometimes, they deliberately put you to test just to see your reactions. Some other times, they find it difficult to understand your lifestyle and the rare virtues that you uphold. And sometimes they try to discourage you, so as to see if you would bend. But when they discover that you are focused, they just play along and accept you the way you are, and then you become their fan, their "priceless" jewel, ornament, diamond, gold..., and their hero.
Priceless people don't brag! They know their worth!! If you are priceless, you would know. There's this in feeling that tells you that you are worth more than gold. It is beyond monetary gains and values. Pricelessness is earned, and when you see it in display, you take cognizance.
Are you tagged priceless? Well, it's not your fault. It is the virtues, value system, and goodwill you have built over time, to the intent that you can't help but become conspicuous. #Priceless #Incalculable #Beyond value #Beyond monetary gains #More than gold #Virtues #Earned #Conspicuous.

Face It
The phrase "face it" is a term used to suggest that a particular task or decision is hard for you to take, but you had to take it anyways. I have come to discover that in life, no matter how careful, protective, sentimental, empathetic, and diplomatic you are, there would be a time when you would need to make sensitive decisions and stand by it. These occurrences sometimes may happen unexpectedly, leaving you with no choice than to make decisions there and then. The decisions you take at such moments, will determine a lot of things but you may have to take them anyways.
Have you ever been in a situation or be involved in something whereby you don't know whether to let go or not? Here are some of the ways you can go about it.
First, you need to ascertain the nature of the situation. Is it an unexpected event or occurrence that requires that you take some decisions which may demand that you let go of such a thing depending on what it is? It could be relationships, certain ties, commitment, friendship, job(work), business etc.
Second, if it is an unexpected occurrence that you need to take immediate action, consider the advantages and the disadvantages. Compare the one to the other and project the consequence of adopting such decisions.
Third, appraise what you are about to let go. Do you really need it? Has it been productive or relevant to you or staying dormant? Is there a possibility that you would need it in the nearest future. And if it is important to you, how important is it? Is it something you have a substitute or alternative. If at all you have no choice but to let it go, after you have determined its importance, what will it cost you, or how will it affect you? These are things and much more, you need to consider simultaneously in your mind before letting such thing, person... go, or you may need to have a rethink.
Life is mysterious! As you find the courage to let one go, another finds its way in, and life goes on. But if you keep holding on to what you should let go, there won't be room for the best to come in. So also it is if you let go what you are supposed to hold on to, you would lose it, and it may even close the door for the best to come in, as what may come in may never be a match to what you let go.
It is now clear to see that we need wisdom to know what to let go and what to let in into our lives. And in the events where you have to make sensitive decisions, it is only brave that you face it. #Let go #Let in #Hold on #Sensitive decisions #Face it.

Answers To Life Quest
Answers! Answers!! Answers!!! The utmost desire of the human race is to find answers to whatever it is engaged in. Answers in business, answers in jobs(work), answers in relationships, answers in marriage, answers in the family... The crave for these cares of life never ends as it goes on and on in a circle form just the way the earth revolves. And the question is, when will these quest ever end?
Studies and experience has shown that human wants are insatiable, which is to say that there is nothing you can do to satisfy human beings because there will always be something to want. For some persons, if you asked them what they wanted or desire most in life, they would say, pay that billion/trillion into my bank account, and I would be OK for life. Some would say, give me that mega contract, and I and my generation would be made for life.The list progresses... These things are very good as it makes life worthwhile. But does all these accumulations deter us from wanting more? The question is ours to answer.
Why do you think the rich want to get richer? Why do you think contractors still desire to get more contracts? Why do you think politicians still want to remain in their offices or positions even when they know they should step down? Why do you think people in power or authority still want to remain there as long as forever knows. Why do you think some business tycoons would still want to make more profits. And for some of these individuals mentioned above and the ones not mentioned that we know, they won't give a hoot making their profits and still stealing from others. The question goes again, when will all these wants be satisfied?
Honey! These wants would linger on for a life time until a check is done to create a balance. What is this check all about? It is a redirection of focus from what is seen already to what is not seen. I call it purpose!
Purpose is an outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions. Purpose is what you were created to be in life from the original plan of the Almighty God. It is the only way where you can gain the whole world, and still have peace of mind, find satisfaction, and salvation of the soul. How do you find your purpose? Look deeply in the things that you like doing naturally, that gives you joy without stress. Are there some things that when you see others doing, it feels like they are not doing it the way it should be, that you could do it better. Your purpose may be in there. What are those things that even if they wake you up from sleep, and ask you to deliver, you would still be good to go? Your purpose may be found therein. What are those things you like doing that adds value and impact not just you but also to those around you? You may find it therein. What are those dreams and visions in your heart that are so strong inside waiting to be expressed? Your purpose may be linked to it. With the above and much more, you can find your purpose.

Decide The Pace
To decide is to reach, make, or come to conclusion about something. It also means to make up one's mind or have the power, wherewithal, and what it takes to determine an outcome. On the other hand, pace is the rate of moving, especially walking or running. It can be slow or fast.
In life, the best things are free. There comes a point, stage, level, or height in life when you don't allow circumstances, situations, or events to dictate the pace or run the show. You decide how it should be.
Wherever you find yourself in life, realise you are a pace setter. It is the realisation of this fact that makes you stand out or soar even in the midst of limitations. You have to believe in yourself and in your capabilities just the way you believe in some persons even if others fail or pretend not to acknowledge it. This self realisation, has nothing to do with what you have or what you don't have presently. One can have all that he/she desires, and still don't have a say of their own. While some others may not have all he/she desires, yet are firm, strong and formidable. Dear, if you don't know where to draw the line in your dealings with people, they would dictate the pace for you.
What are you even afraid of in the first place? Is it what others would say about you or think about you or even stop some credits that should accrue to you. Are you considering your present financial state as low, and therefore scared of launching out or venturing? And for some of us, we don't want to appear on the spotlight. We are just satisfied where we are, with people tossing us to and fro at will. Darling, you have to decide what you really want out of life and take the necessary steps or moves against all odds, unless you want to be in perpetual slavery.
Don't be carried away by the outward disposition most of us put up out there. No one has it all together. If some persons who you are thinking are the dawn, told you what they are facing, then you would be thankful where you are as you look forward to greater heights.
Fine, different strokes for different people. We all have different levels in life just the way you have hierarchy in various settings or organization. It is good to know the level you are and where you want to be and align yourself accordingly.
The well to do we know today, all started from somewhere. There were times these personalities didn't have much but yet were determined to be successful. Sure there were days of small beginnings but today if you asked them, such persons would tell you the story is different. You too can, when you make up your mind to set the pace. Here is it: if you cannot soar, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. Which ever ways you know best, just decide the pace. #Decision #Conclusion #Determination of an outcome #Pace #Rate of moving #Soar #Run #Walk #Crawl.

Don't be carried away by the outward disposition most of us put up out there. No one has it all together. If some persons who you are thinking are the dawn, told you what they are facing, then you would be thankful where you are as you look forward to greater heights.
Fine, different strokes for different people. We all have different levels in life just the way you have hierarchy in various settings or organization. It is good to know the level you are and where you want to be and align yourself accordingly.
The well to do we know today, all started from somewhere. There were times these personalities didn't have much but yet were determined to be successful. Sure there were days of small beginnings but today if you asked them, such persons would tell you the story is different. You too can, when you make up your mind to set the pace. Here is it: if you cannot soar, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. Which ever ways you know best, just decide the pace. #Decision #Conclusion #Determination of an outcome #Pace #Rate of moving #Soar #Run #Walk #Crawl.

Busy Schedule
Life is full of activities, events and engagements. It is like a daily routine whereby each task is splitted or modified into different categories and given the necessary priority. One way or the other, we are all busy. It now depends on how each of us see or interpreted the word busy.
To be busy is to be actively or fully engaged or occupied. A schedule on the other hand is an ordered list of times at which things are planned to happen. It can also be said to be a plan for an activity or event. If we put it together, you can say that a busy schedule is an ordered or a well arranged list of times or periods at which things are planned to take place, in which you are actively involved in.
With a schedule in place, plans are readily executed, as you are already certain about what to do at a particular time and how to go about it. Schedules helps you place priorities on certain tasks, and the times such tasks are being carried out. And when you become actively committed to such tasks, it only means that you are busy.
To be busy does not only mean to engage in tedious activities or hard labour. A better way to say one is busy is to state that: anything whatsoever that takes your time or that you are fully or actively occupied with at a given period of time defines the word "busy". And if it is in your list, I mean to say a well defined, arranged, and organized list, then you can call it a "busy schedule".
So many things come our way to make us busy. It can either be positive or negative. It is now left for you to choose which to be engaged with. Even the idle mind has something in turn that keeps it busy. It's just that it may be a negative influence. Below are the ways to be busy productively.
Have a Schedule for Reading. This comprises the different levels of education such as research, projects, inspirational, spiritual etc.
Have a Schedule for Work. Any thing that your hand finds to do that yields returns, is your work. Every work has its time and modalities. All you need to do is to align yourself with the necessary laid down schedule so as to ensure efficiency.
Have a Schedule for Meetings. Meetings can come in diverse ways. It could be a brainstorming meeting, business meeting, partnership meeting, family meeting, friendship meeting, sports or exercise meetings, rehearsal, teaching, investment, Seminar meetings etc.
Have a Schedule for Domestic Chores. This include house related matters like routine clean up, laundry activities, food preparation schedule and so on and so forth.
Have a Schedule for Resting. This is a very important aspect of being busy as thought otherwise by some others. Rest when you need to. Go for routine medical checkups. Be health wise conscious. Take fruits, choose your diets. This put together will enhance your productivity. Sometimes, resting could just be the solution to some stress or ailment. There are a lot of schedules out there that you can research and add to what you know already. #Active #Occupied #Fully engaged #Organized list #Planned time #Busy Schedule.

The Great Planner
A great planner foresees ahead of time what is likely or not likely to be, and make the necessary preparations no matter what such persons have or don't have.
A planner is simply a person who makes a plan while a great planner is someone who makes extraordinary(awesome) plans. Here comes the great planner!
The great planner senses when something is strange, wrong, and when it is also right, and makes preparations to that effect. He/She knows when to stay and when to move on. Such persons are not moved by what is happening around them. Sometimes, things may not add up for them, and sometimes, they may experience a downturn or a terrible blow, yet for such persons, it is "never say die".
It really get to me when I see people describe or treat life like it's rosy, all the time. That is a wrong conception about life. This is because for each level of success or elevation you attain, there must be some kind of test or examination. And trust me, test or examinations are not easy to get away with, as you would have to read yourself out, except you have some other alternative like malpractice.
Yes miracles happen! But beyond miracles, there's a process and a procedure to follow as well as principles governing life and its activities on planet earth. Off course, no one wants to tour the difficult path of life. Everyone wants the easy way out without considering that there's a price to be paid. The truth is, there are some path every one can pass through, but there are some other path, every one cannot cross over. It takes the highly comitted, determined and focused to scale through these paths.
Here is a self-appraisal workable assessment! Are you really a great planner? Do you have what it takes to be a great planner? Are you too careful about what others would say about you? Are you easily influenced by your friends? Do you easily lose balance or focus when others leave you? Can you stand alone? Are you willing and able to stand up for what you you believe in, even when you can't take it anymore? Can you go the extra mile even when it seems like there's no hope, or when you don't have the resources to go further? Do you take some necessary risk? Do you have a never say die spirit?
The above questions are questions to ask ourselves, and then, we would know the category we fall into. My intentions here from the above questions is to make us see the possibilities of attaining greater heights when we effectively answer all the questions. And if you are still thinking about those who left you, be encouraged. Those who left you, couldn't stay because you are not predictable! #Determination #Process #Principles #Preparation #Test #Examination #Self-appraisal #Greater heights #The great planner.

Humanitarian Service
A humanitarian is someone devoted to the promotion of human welfare and to social reforms. It is marked by humanistic values and dedication to human well being. Service on the other hand is a work carried out by one person or group that benefits another. It can also be referred to as performance of duties or provision of space and equipment helpful to others. Simply put, whatever work or activity that you render for the benefit of mankind is called service. Services are either voluntary or involuntary.
Voluntary services are services you do out of your own free will, or making or design. It is done by choice, and not out of compulsion or force. It is usually done when someone sees a need and takes it upon his/her self to offer a hand of help or services without being compelled to do so.
Involuntary services are services that are not subject to the control of the will. It is a service that is against your will. That is to say that it's a service whereby you don't have a choice than to do it, especially when you have been paid to carry out such services. Either ways, whether it is voluntary or involuntary service, services are ment to be satisfactory.
There's an adage that says: what goes around, comes around! For every humanitarian service you offer, somehow, it comes back to you. There are a lot of humanitarian services that one can render depending on the capabilities and resources of such persons. Examples are: Taking up the responsibility of footing the bills or sponsoring the education of someone or persons who cannot afford one. Another one could be in the form of admitting some persons into some skilled work where such persons can be properly trained until he/she is fit to take off(spread). It could be advocating for people who don't have what it takes or the means to do so. It could also come in the form of care or benevolence to the motherless babies home or widows etc. It can come in the form of community development such as construction of roads, basic amenities: water supply, food, shelter, electricity, education...
With humanitarian services, you can start from where you are. Charity they say begins at home. The little kindness, tender love, support to friends, families and loved ones can become a global phenomenal as these persons whose lives you've touched, would also touch other lives, and before you know it, the world would become a better place. #Humanitarian service #Voluntary #Involuntary #Benevolence #Global phenomenal.

Not Predictable
Don't tell me this or that when in the real sense, they don't appear real. Don't explain certain deeds or actions sanctimoniously when what is seen is a shadow of the original thing. I am tired of listening to manipulative statements when what I have seen and studied is not what I used to know. Don't judge me yet in what is known as error when you have not heard my own part of the story.
My journey to freedom started long time ago because I wanted to be me. I wanted to be free to live, free to associate, free to communicate to whoever I deem fit, free to feel what other people go through, free to do what I feel is right to do, free to venture..., and free to make progress without any form of impediments. What if I told you that the process to this kind of freedom is not predictable!
To be unpredictable is to be capable of not being foretold. That is to say that much as you are sincere and credible, still, it shouldn't be that easy for someone to tell in advance what you are capable of doing at a given period of time, as well as the necessary steps to be taken. Being unpredictable, does not mean you are being too secretive or that you are not open in your dealings. It only means you are being flexible and wise.
Nowadays, there are a lot of predictions about certain things or events occurring or happening, to the extent that certain persons or people now live their lives in alignment with these predictions. Sweety, break free from any prediction that does not align with the word in your life because you don't need all of that. Anything that tend to create fear in you without the resurrection or the reassurance of confidence, is not ment to be your life. As a matter of fact, you don't need it.
What do we say to these things then? We all know that it is not a recent news to see the social media become a platform for different kinds of information both the ones that are true and ones that are fake(mere rumours). There is nothing wrong with social platforms. It is using it inappropriately that is totally wrong. For example: spreading false rumours, deformation of peoples image for worldly gains... I have said the following sometime somewhere, and I would say it again, this time creatively: The social media is not a place to bring up unresolved disputes which I brandedly tagg petty issues, so as to get attention. It is not a place to disseminate false information and the likes... Below are some of the reasons for social platforms amongst many:
The social media is place to connect with friends, family, and loved ones. It is a place to promote business transactions as well as joining alliances with strong forces for a good course. It is a place to brainstorm, research, and to be patriotic. It is a place to spread the goodnews and so on and so forth.
And now the focal point: It doesn't matter what may appear or what they told you. It is the one that you are convinced about that really counts... #Rumours #Manipulative statements #Story #Freedom #Not predictable #Flexible #Wisdom.

Curiosity
Curiosity is a state in which you want to learn more, even deeper about something. It is a state of mind that transcends the norm far beyond the usual or expected. It's like a longing or yearning that makes you want to research, seek for knowledge, find solution or answers to a thing including that open door you earnestly needed.
Curiosity is different from anxiety. While curiosity is a positive feeling or state that makes you want to alter the course of event or learn deeper about something so as to profer solution, anxiety is a relatively permanent state of worry and nervousness occurring in a variety of mental disorders, usually followed by compulsive behavior or attacks of panic. The two are no perfect match as both differs from each other in diverse ways. So if one of these is not operational, then there's a tendency that the other has gotten hold of such person(s). Instead of me to be anxious, I'd rather prefer to be curious, at least that would make me want to find answers or even lead me to where I can find solution.
Curiosity is a motivator on its own. Remember, a motivator is anything that arouse or move you into action. So, if the word curiosity can make you want to stretch your learning horizons, and not just the mere learning itself, then, suffice it to say that curiosity is one of your motivators.
What are we really curious about? It is pertinent to know and be able to state in clear terms what one is curious about so as to determine the drive as well as the destination. You would know the direction you are heading to by what you are curious about. And as you discover who you truly are, you would be less concerned by petty issues. I am curious (lols). Really? But come to think of it, in this life, and in your endeavours, if you are not curious about finding solutions or even searching for that miracle(open door), or working toward a set goal, looking ahead, or seeing beyond the present situation or circumstance, you may as well need to deal with petty issues.
Furthermore, if you are not curious about anything, signs are that you are satisfied where you are. And what makes you satisfied with where you are, your position, achievements..., is termed complacency.
Complacency is the opposite of curiosity. Somtimes, after a major victory or achievement, we tend to relax and slow down a bit. Well, this is natural. We are all guilty of this act. However, staying longer than necessary is where the problem lies. So, it is wise to know where to draw the line between curiosity and complacency. Once you notice you are attached to a particular thing, environment, achievement..., such that it kind of make you so relaxed and satisfied with yourself, then it is time to add curiosity to it. Being curious doesn't take anything away from you but only help in making you better. #Anxiety #Worry #Complacency #Self-satisfaction #Curiosity #Motivator.

Petty Issues
The word petty tells of something low in ranking or status. Issues in this context are important questions that are in dispute and must be settled. If you merge the two together, you would be able to decipher where the thought pattern is leading to.
Sometimes, why certain issues are tagged petty is a function of repetition of such matters or case on and on, which is supposed to have been resolved. But because the parties involved are reluctant to reach a compromise or are proving difficult to give heed to reasoning, such issues soon generate to petty issues and therefore do not count anymore, no matter how important they are.
People who are given to petty issues, if you examine them thoroughly, you would discover that there are certain incidents, experiences..., in the past that such persons are refusing to let go even when they should let it go. Such experiences builds up in their hearts and are being nurtured, day in day out. And when they find opportunity to strike, they let it out without minding if it is the suitable time to do so.
Certain tendencies that could degenerate to petty issues is idleness. Someone whose schedule is busy and as a result of what he/she has engaged his/her mind with, would not have time for petty issues. But when one is idle mentally, physically, spiritually, and otherwise, what occupies the mind of such persons would be petty issues. The mind is a field or an arena that is open to different forms of energy, each seeking for attention. It is the one you allow to dominate you that takes residence. Something must occupy the mind for sure. So we have to make deliberate effort to allow only the right things to gain access. How do we do that?
To start with, identify the things you like talking about. Are they positive or negative? If negative, seek counsel from reliable and trusted source, and try to follow through on such step by step counsel.
Do more of listening. Before jumping into conclusion or commenting on a matter, listen to both sides, and make your deductions from your findings.
Weigh certain words before speaking when angry. When one is angry, certain things can be uttered without the person knowing the level of the damage that could have been caused. So, it is better to be selective in the choice of words during this period or not to speak at all.
Avoid certain environments that triggers off negative tendencies. This is profitable when you know your temperament and what you are capable of doing at a given period of time.
The answer may just be simple forgiveness(letting go). It's not easy to let go certain incident, occurrence, or events, especially when it always appear fresh in one's mind, and the scars seen. However, you can replace such scars with a moisturising spot removal cream until it comes off. #Petty issue #Idleness of mind #Busy schedule #Positive energy.

First Choice And Plan B
First choices come before anything else. As of priority, it precedes all others in time or space or degree. It is the number one(1) choice or the highest in ranking or series. It superceeds all other options, suggestions, alternatives and what have you.
First choices don't need much introduction. It has a way of introducing itself. It knows its place in the sphere of life. Wherever it turns as long as it is within its zone, it is rated high as it soars above mediocrity to excellence. It is not complacent as it needs to retain its place and position in life, history..., and the book of records. Sometimes, it experiences some downturns but never fades away. It knows where to go, to heal itself when hurt. It knows how to get back again after a fall. It knows that there are a lot of persons...competing for its place, so it tries all it can within its power to stay abreast or on top of its game. It is teachable. It seeks knowledge. It builds healthy and productive relationships. It joins alliances with strong forces that helps it grow. It is open minded. It has class, yet humble and down to earth. It operates with extraordinary wisdom and control. It knows when to pause(take a break), refresh, and bounce back again. It knows how to make its fans come back, and keep asking for more. For first choices, first is always first!
Plan B on the other hand is a second option or choice which you can use if things do not happen the way you expect. Plan B is second to first choice and is very helpful as it helps to minimise certain risks or sufferings that would have occurred if there were no alternatives. It is very good and expedient to have a plan B for contingency reasons. Plan B helps to put a check on monopoly and creates a balance along side. It helps you guide against certain plots or future mishap. It helps in budgets and expenditures especially when what is reserved is below expected. It helps you not to lose out or miss out completely as you can always switch. It helps you recover datas, information..., when the first one is missen or lost. It serves as a back up tool. Plan B compliments first choices. With plan B in place, you won't have to fret unnecessary.
The idea here, is to stress on the need for first choices as well as Plan Bs. The both are important depending on which you are using at a particular time, if utilised properly.
The bottom line is: guard your first choices with the best virtues you can, while you utilise the Plan B where necessary. Which ever ways, try as much as possible to create a balance. #First choice #Priority #Number one #Highest ranking #Plan B #Second choice #Contigency #Back up.

It is not complacent as it needs to retain its place and position in life, history..., and the book of records. Sometimes, it experiences some downturns but never fades away. It knows where to go, to heal itself when hurt. It knows how to get back again after a fall. It knows that there are a lot of persons...competing for its place, so it tries all it can within its power to stay abreast or on top of its game. It is teachable. It seeks knowledge. It builds healthy and productive relationships. It joins alliances with strong forces that helps it grow. It is open minded. It has class, yet humble and down to earth. It operates with extraordinary wisdom and control. It knows when to pause(take a break), refresh, and bounce back again. It knows how to make its fans come back, and keep asking for more. For first choices, first is always first!
Plan B on the other hand is a second option or choice which you can use if things do not happen the way you expect. Plan B is second to first choice and is very helpful as it helps to minimise certain risks or sufferings that would have occurred if there were no alternatives. It is very good and expedient to have a plan B for contingency reasons. Plan B helps to put a check on monopoly and creates a balance along side. It helps you guide against certain plots or future mishap. It helps in budgets and expenditures especially when what is reserved is below expected. It helps you not to lose out or miss out completely as you can always switch. It helps you recover datas, information..., when the first one is missen or lost. It serves as a back up tool. Plan B compliments first choices. With plan B in place, you won't have to fret unnecessary.
The idea here, is to stress on the need for first choices as well as Plan Bs. The both are important depending on which you are using at a particular time, if utilised properly.
The bottom line is: guard your first choices with the best virtues you can, while you utilise the Plan B where necessary. Which ever ways, try as much as possible to create a balance. #First choice #Priority #Number one #Highest ranking #Plan B #Second choice #Contigency #Back up.

Another Option
Another as the name implies is any of several alternatives. It is a platform that offers or present various choices with the clause that any of the alternatives could be the right one. Option in clear terms is the act of choosing or selecting.
Whenever the word "Another" is pronounced or mentioned, what comes to mind is something else, different from the previous. It also suggest an option or some sort of variety one can choose from. Variety as popularly known is the spice of life.
There are certain things, events, actions, tendencies that prompts or stimulates the desire or yearning for options. These tendencies in quote must have lingered for a long period of time with no change or improvements, leaving its victim(s) with no choice as if such person(s) were under bondage or confined in whatsoever ways. As these series play on, the parties involved begins to nurse certain feelings and inadequacies. As thoughts progresses, such persons begins to think of options(alternative) and how to go about them. This is where it all begins. At this point, if not properly checked, such person(s) may eventually stick with the alternative. Below are the ways or measures you can adopt to keep your friends, loved ones, family members, clients, customers, associates, co-workers, staffs..., stuck on you without considering another option or joining forces with other alternative:
Properly Manage Monopoly
Monopoly is a market in which there are many buyers but one seller. It means having exclusive control over a commercial activity by possession or legal point. This is a very sensitive area one must look into and try to manage the best way one can.
Listen
Giving a listening ear, will help you avoid certain misunderstanding, and help you know how to satisfy your subjects
Be Kind And Generous
With this act, your subjects, clients, customers, friends..., would keep coming to you for more.
Control Your Temperament
There's nothing wrong with getting angry once in a while. What is wrong is the inability to control it when one should.
Be At Your Best Always
When you are on top of your game, you carve a nitch for yourself that get others stuck on you.
Be Loving
This is the greatest commandment and the best gift you can give to anyone. Once the people around you sense this kind of nature in you, no matter what you do, or what others say about you, they would always rally round you. The above are just some list amongst many. You can add your thoughts to it. #Another#Alternatives#Options#Act of choosing.

Emptiness Is Not An Excuse
If it mattered to you, you would come through, no matter what time it is. And if your heart is in it, you would care less, hence, you would go for it. Notwithstanding, preparation is a key(determinant) factor here as emptiness cannot be used as an excuse.
How prepared are you in the journey of life? How ready and stable are you in scaling through life's bustles and hustles, and still meeting up with your routine responsibilities? Are you handling more than you can carry? May be you need a review of your activities or responsibilities so as to map out efficient ways to creating some form of balance. I understand how busy and stressful the day can be at times. And sometimes you just wished you could skip some routines, take some rest, and refresh so as to gain momentum, which is a good decision to make sometimes. Reasons are: you cannot do anything productive if you are not in good shape. Before you can engage in anything worthwhile, it is advisable you get yourself prepared for it.
No one wants to know the in and out details about your personal life. All they want to know is if you can deliver at such moment where it matters most. It's only wise to put yourself together and avoid excuses as possible as you can. The focal point is that: don't spread yourself out there without some form of preparation. Sometimes, the need for certain developments or activities can be very demanding and may require you responding swiftly, but then one needs to be sure that he/she is fit to handle it rather than making caricature of one's self. Emptiness is not an excuse!
What are your priorities like? What are your value system? It is a fact that sometimes no matter how prepared you are, some things beyond your control would still occur, but at least you won't be swept off your feet completely. This is only possible when you are prepared for the unexpected.
What is this preparation really all about? It is an activity of putting or setting in order in advance of some act or purpose. It is an activity leading to skilled behaviour, portraying that one is made ready or fit or suitable before hand. Emptiness, on the other hand is a state of amounting or containing nothing, while an excuse is a defence of some offensive behaviour or some failure to keep a promise.
If you watch the above definitions closely, you would discover that the languages are different. One speaks of excellence, while the others emphasizes mediocrity. It is up to you to choose which to be identified with and follow through on it. Food for thought: Be prepared which ever way you can, for emptiness is not an excuse! #Emptiness#Nothing#Excuse#Defence...#Preparation#In advance.

Correct It
To correct is to regulate a particular thing..., so as to achieve accuracy or conform to a specified standard.
At some point in life, things will go wrong no matter how hard you try to put them right. There are times you would notice strange happenings around you. Some other times, you may not be able to tell why some of these things occur. And sometimes, these things may happen to someone close to you with the intent to cause embarrassment. No matter how you see it, if it can happen to someone close to you, invariably, it has happened to you. So, there's nothing like it's not me! It can happen to anyone. No one is exempted from this reality. So instead of being offended or acting up, it is better to make efforts to correct it.
Correction is the antidote for mistakes. Where there is no error or something strange or unusual, there won't be need for correction. Correction has been and would continue to be as long as certain errors or mistakes thrives. Correction helps us get back to life again.
Now there are different ways to rendering corrections. The easy way and the hard way. The easy way is the most suitable way to handle correction better. However, there are instances where correction is being carried out the hard way depending on the nature or senerio on ground. There are events in our lives that we wished never happened. Much as you can't turn back the ends of time, you can choose to correct it by making sure such events never resurfaced again.
Another case study is when one keeps his fingers crossed and watch life go by. But until you take a stand, make a decision that you are going to correct it(make things right), you may never experience a turn around.
What are those things you need to make corrections on? We all have one or two things that needs correction. This is why there's something like correction pen. It helps to clean up errors, mistakes, as well as the past, so you can write a fresh page. It is never too late to make the necessary correction. How do you know your brains are intact? When you see something strange that shouldn't be, especially the people you don't expect it from, and you make efforts to correct it. #Errors#Mistakes#Strange#Correction#Accuracy#Standard.
