An unction is an excessive but superficial compliments given with affected charm. It is a superficial compliment in the sense that it is concerned with what is apparent or obvious, and the fact that it is given with affected charm makes it more impressive. To function on the other hand is to serve a purpose, role, or obligation... It simply means to be relevant where it matters most.
For anything to function, there must be some drives, tools, boosters..., that propels it into action. Where these pillars, backbones... are missen in action, functionality becomes impaired. No one is an island! Anything you see functioning today, has a source or a backbone. Sometimes it appears to stand alone but in the real sense, something is holding or propelling it forward. The word lonely is only active when the mind accepts it. But a mind that is programmed to function knows nothing as such because it has something that always keeps it busy.
The brain normally is not programmed to be idle but functional. Where it is idle, it tends to look for ways to fill itself up. This is where the mind could accept different suggestions or thought patterns that appeals to it not minding if it is negative or not. It is best to never come to the point where external factors, situations, happenings and what have you, becomes the pace setter. The outcome is not something to reckon with.
One of the ways to be functional or function optimally is to know your limits, capabilities... as well as your circle of influence. If I must be a source of influence or a strong influence in a place, wherever I find myself, and in whatever I set out to do, it means that my opinion should count in any decision making. I mean not just counting alone, it must be treated with care and respect. Otherwise, it leaves me with no choice than to look for where my opinion is acknowledged and respected. That is to say that I shouldn't be there in the first place. Simply put, there's no need to be in a place where you are not considered relevant, as you would only be tolerated and not celebrated.
Never underestimate the power of unction because it provides, generates or produces the oil or lubricant that enables one to function. And looking at it letter wise, the word "Function" cannot be complete without the word "Unction". Take away the word "unction from function" and the answer would be "f" standing on its own. And you would quite agree with me that "f" on its own doesn't make sense unless a word is attached to it. That is the way "Function" appears when "Unction" is not there. I have the will power to decide how it turns out for me in the midst of so many activities and happenings. In other words, your resolve determines your results. Resolve for the best... Don't just function, function with unction!!! #Boosters #Drives #Superficial compliment #Affected charm #Oil #Lubricant #Unction #Purpose #Role #Relevance #Influence #Function.

Possibilities
To the person that believes, all things are possible... These lines are not for fancy but for application. It only become reality when the person (s) in question learn to do more of practice than just the mere reading of it. If you asked me, I don't know how miracles happen but I believe in possibilities. This has guided my choices in life. The way I think, the way I process certain information and thought patterns, the way I make interpretations and draw my conclusions... All of these, helps to mode, shape and make me who I am today.
I had seen, gone through and experienced a lot in my life. Some made me shed tears. Some made me laugh. Some taught me an unforgettable lesson (s). Some made me stronger and wiser, while some paved the way for me.
It might interest you to know that in the midst of these processes, I never gave up on myself or denied myself the opportunity of seeing possibilities. Though there were times I had doubts about where the whole thing would lead to but I never stopped believing. Sometimes I just can't explain how it would happen but I believed anything could happen at any time. Sometimes, when I consider where I am and where I should be or should have been, it kind of make me ask certain questions, seeking for immediate answers. And sometimes certain persons don't make the matter easy. Some would call you names and compell you to take certain decisions unless you are focused, and you would be like: When will all these be over?
However, there are certain things you can't change. The only one you can change is the one you discover that you have the ability to change and develop capacity for it. You don't develop capacity for what you don't see the possibilities... For you to develop capacity for something, it means you have a prospect for such thing. And even if you fall seven times for it, you would pick yourself again and forge ahead.
What is possibility even all about? Possibility is a future prospect or potential. It is the ability of existing or happening or being true. It depicts a state of positivity, telling that something can be done. It is beyond what the ordinary mind can conceive. It takes courage and determination to operate in the realm of the possibilities, especially when there are negativity around or when certain things point to impossibilities. We should not try to figure it out with our mind because it is beyond the human reasoning. Yours is to stay in the realms of possibilities. When it would happen, it would be a shocker. The realm of possibilities can position us for breakthrough if we let it be. In essence, it won't take anything from you but what you believe in, and turn it to reality in due time. It makes you know that each day is meant to be favourable, and helps you scale through the uncertainties of life. Being happy is not a feeling based on a thing but an expression or state of mind based on possibilities. Sweetheart! It's possible!! Believe it!!! #Believe #Practice #Develop capacity #Prospect #Potential #Possibilities.

Uniqueness (One in a Million)
You are unique! There is no one like you on planet earth, neither would there be any other compared to you, as there would never be another like you. Uniqueness is the quality of being one of a kind. It is a trait or specialty that is exclusively attributed to a person, place, things..., especially you. However, this thought pattern can only be visible when I learn to appreciate myself and that special trait I possess because in doing so, it helps me appreciate people better.
Unique people don't compare themselves with others because they know that they are far different from others. Instead, they try to find out what makes them different from others. If it is in strength, such persons tries to be more (develop capacity) in the area of strength. And where there is weakness, such persons tries to work on it or work it out so as to be better. The real unique person is as the word unique itself.
The discovery of uniqueness is a process, and matures in the fullness of time. The day you realise how unique you are, that day you'd stop begging for people's love, desist from being the victim, while aiming at becoming the victor. Though sometimes, you may fall or make mistakes, but then it only becomes a lesson to learn from, as you would pick yourself up again and move on. This is what I call uniqueness in action.
As you move on in this journey (process) called uniqueness, you'd begin to experience some hidden virtues in you, you never thought was there. And as you begin to appreciate the magnitude of your powers and the treasures inside of you, it radiates... Those who couldn't love you, now begin to see a different you. And even when some of them pretend not to notice it, they still can't help but to feel the warmth of your person. The worst some of them would say is: I don't fancy him/her that much, but there's something about him/her.
Sentiments aside! If you are good at what you do, some persons may not like you but would certainly not deny the fact that you are good at what you do. This can only occur when you discover what makes you unique from the other person and improve on it. Take it up, and bring it down, a unique person always does something that makes him or her unique. And whenever you see such trait in display, whether you are sleeping or awake, you just can't help but attribute it to the name of such person (s).
It pays to be unique! It attracts attention, and increase the rate of turnover. When I come to the full knowledge and understanding of how unique I am, it makes me advertise my person my way, hence making me one in a million. #One of a kind #Trait #Specialty #Hidden virtues #Treasure #One in a million.

Balancing Happiness And Reality
Nothing is strong enough to take away my smiles if I really want to smile. The same is applicable to you if you really want to. This is because there are no rules and regulations that says you cannot be happy if you want to inspite of what may be happening around you. It is a state of mind, and therefore not dependent majorly on the things we see, the environment we find ourselves, what we have or don't have but dependent on what comes from within. This thought pattern makes me see happiness in a different style and way.
By happiness in this context, I mean the unquenchable, irresistible, unfathomable... joy that flows from within (the heart). The joy that knows no bound! The joy that cannot be explained! The joy that makes people wonder how you live your life in the midst of so many distractions, activities..., and happenings around you. And they are like this cannot just be happiness in itself, because what they see is beyond happiness itself. May I please use this medium (platform) to announce to you that happiness is not the absence of the realities of life, but the building of capacity to accommodate life's difference in such a way that happiness is discovered, achieved or intact, as each differences unfolds. From the above, one can define happiness as a state of well being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to immence joy. Do you now see why I say and wouldn't mind saying that nothing, I mean no damn thing is strong enough to stop my smiles if I really want to smile.
Most people think that when you're happy in the midst of certain circumstances or perhaps economic melt down, that you're not being realistic... These and more are the reasons why happiness is not based on things or happenings, yet it does not push aside the role of the realities of life in influencing happiness but shifts the focus or should I say places emphasis on the need to develop capacity to accommodate life's challenges or differences as they come, while still finding your place in happiness. When this is achieved, you become a wonder on earth, a mentor and a book to be read as no one would understand how you utilise the resources within your reach that some others consider to be small, and turn it to a huge (big) harvest.
The knowledge (discovery) of true happiness, has helped me to be content with what I have while reaching out for more. It has helped me to believe in myself, and not to see myself less than the other, it doesn't matter what the other has or don't have. For time and chance happen to them all. When you have the winner mentality, it makes you confident, help you appreciate yourself and the others in your life, making you know that you have a choice to be happy amidst the realities of life. Sweetheart! You only have one life to live. Make it worthwhile by living happy each day! #Smiles #Happiness #Joy #The heart #Reality #Building capacity #Balancing happiness and reality.
