IGNORANCE

Image
The world we live right now is a world where people want fast things, fast cars, quick money, instant answers to prayers, instant success & breakthrough. But they forget the place of order. Don't get me wrong with the word order here, let me point your attention to something I call application of disorganized knowledge. It is one of the reason for our frustration today. Some years ago, thier was a man who bought an electronic gadget. On getting home he started operating the gadget but the machine failed to work. After a lot of frustration with the new gadget, he decided to go back to the machine manual to find out what could be wrong. He discovered that the new machine must firstly be connected to the electricity before it can start working for the first time. In response, the man did as he was instructed by the manual & his frustration ended. That was exactly the life many are living. Starting a process from the end is the reason why many are not getting resul...

You are not limited

I heard the story of a fisherman who used to measured any fishes he catch at a river side. The man once he catch a fish will measured it's size with a rod in his hand & if the fish is longer than the rod in his hand, he will throw the fish back into the water & let it go. When he was asked the reason for his action. He said & I qoute " the rod in my hand is the size of my frying pan which I measured with this rod before leaving home. So what I do is simple. Any fish that is longer than the rod will not fit into my frying pan so I throw it back into the river. " Amazing! Don't you think the man can cut those fishes to fit his frying pan instead of throwing them back to the river? Or can't he  buy another frying pan in other to have more big fishes? I want you to use a minute to relate this to your life & reflect on your attitudes to life now. Are you living base on what you have with you right now? Are your vision too small to accommodate ...

You are the seed

Image
Living a life you want & becoming the person you wanted to be are solely depends on what you do with what you have. You don't need to become a millionaire before you enjoy your life, you don't have to go abroad before you hold dollars, you can make use of what you have to live the life you want. Yes you can. That little thing in your hand now is not just for you for decoration, it is for you for something. Don't despise it. Work on it, develop it, create value out of it & let the world see it. What you have is your greatest asset, what others have is not your own business. You are like that tiny seed which was watered & carefully monitored produced more fruits for the betterment of the people. Don't ignore your gifts & skills. Develop it & let the world see it. You are blessed. Oyewole Oluwole Emmanuel

The Law of the mind: As you think is who you are.

Image
As you think is who you are. This is not just a mere statement you say & let go, it's the foundation of who you become in life. It's either you are here today by what you thought of yourself yesterday or you are a victim of life circumstance & direction. Steve Forbes said "the real source of wealth & capital in this new era is not material things - it is the human mind, the human spirit, the human imagination & faith in the future. That's the the magic of a free society. Everyone can move forward & proposer because wealth comes from within." During my first 2 years at school, I was so ignorant of this fact. I didn't create life for myself, I was controlled by the circumstances on campus. What a pity I found myself not at the bottom of the class but in a lower class which was not cool by me because I'm not a dullard, I was smart. But something different happened before my 3rd year at school. I was determined not to h...

Mindset

Mindset - The power of mind One of the best gifts God gave us as human is our ability to think & create thought within us. That ability is what makes us different from a mad person who has no thought of his/her own. So we can think & create any thoughts within. Research shows that people's responses to lives are formed & shaped from the inside & then ignite by what surrounds them. These shows that our minds is a powerful tools of transformation. Steve Maraboli said "Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it." This means that you can change your life with your mind. If you utilize that God given power of the mind, you can create a better life for yourself. Wrong mindset is like a killer instinct which is so powerful of making you to see impossibilities on many possible things. I look at the lives of those who sees evil in all things, I realized that there lives are always full of evils. Have you thought abo...

PERSPECTIVE: A Threat or The way to Innovation?

Image
I was having a meeting with my friends one beautiful day & after our discussion another issue was raised which caused a serious argument in the gathering. Though I was not interested in the argument but I observed how serious my friends supported their point of view either for or against the topic backing it up with Biblical references. At the end of the argument we all settled on the point that when we get to heaven, we will know who is wrong & who is right. I couldn't help but thought about it & related it to our journey of lives today that, it is not all about what that thing is, it's about how we see things base on our view. This is what we calls PERSPECTIVE - seeing one thing from different ways, seeing a problem with different solutions or embracing number 9 as number 6 depending on the angle you stand. I'm asking you today, how do you see things? Are you seeing things base on your experience or base on the future? Many call it vision. The fac...
