IS IT WORTH IT?



After reading the pathetic story of University of Ibadan graduate that committed suicide days ago, it made me wonder if committing suicide truly worth it? The guy dropped a note that says, "He has suffered enough and regrets been a Nigerian."

The fact is that the country is truly in mess right now. Things are truly tough not even for him that committed suicide alone, but for most of us. If I begins to share my stories with you, you will even pity me. For we all have our secret pains.

He committed suicide because he can't cope with the suffering again. He forgot that:

- As you are looking for wealth now, somebody is looking for health.

He didn't remember that:

- Each time you think of not having a car, somebody just died from a car crash.

- If you are thinking about your health, somebody just died of Coronavirus.

- If you are looking for power, many has acquired and used it, and now they are powerless.

- Each time a new mansion was built, a new grave just dug below the earth for someone.

- Each time you throw away that useless food into dustbin, someone is just looking for remnant to eat.

- If you are thinking of not having money to buy that Ankara cloth, someone is out there begging for money to buy garri.

Anytime I think of these mysterious ways of life, I only laughs and thank God for what I have and hope for something better. Suicide, stealing, killing and any kinds of ungodly ways to escape suffering doesn't worth it. Because, this life that frown at you today will surely smiles back at you tomorrow.

Today maybe blur, trust me tomorrow will be bright.

Irrespective of what you are passing through now, don't lose your smile, don't think that it's only you. Many are passing through issues that they cannot even explain.

Thank God for what you have and go at your peace in Jesus name. Amen!

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...

Desire and Decision

It's one thing to desire, it's another thing todecide & to follow what you desire. I've wasted opportunities in the past because of that small voice whispering to me "you are not good enough", "you can't do it" "you are not qualify" and so on like that. I yielded to those voices then & let those opportunities passed me by. I would have done it was what came to my mouth later. I urge you if you desire it, it pay to go for it. Life will not give you what you want, it will give you what you decided to have & pursue. That small voice echoing "I can't" in your mind can be replaced with "I can & I will". You won't know what you are capable of until you try. Try that business, try that idea, try that thing disturbing you. You have little or nothing to lose. Someone said "Easy decision produce hard life. Hard decision produce easy life". Which one do you want to produce? ...

You and your thoughts

I was minding my business one beautiful night when I heard a loud sound in my area. The transformer blew up and there was a blackout. My neighbors began to say that there would be no power supply till February. Meaning that we will not have electricity in the area for two months. Some said we were now into another power supply issue at the beginning of the year. Different people said all kind of negative statements because of what they heard and the way the power supply went off. Suprisingly, not even up to twenty minutes the "condemned" power supply returned and all of them who prophesied were speechless. This is exactly how many people live thier lives. Just because of the sound of a threat they hear, many run away and give up their dreams. Many concluded that it's over because of a big blow that happened to them in their business. I've been saying this and I will also say it again: "Life will always test your commitment and patience on anything you d...
