Philosophy for a Happy Life 2 (Lessons I learnt from SAM BERNS)

Image
I'm going to share with you the secrets to Sam happiness before Progeria sickness took his life in 2014.  Knowing fully well about his sickness, Sam lived a very happy life. Take the following advice seriously as you begin the new year: 1. Be ok with what you ultimately can't do because there are so much you can do. There are some incidence that you cannot help or have no power over, the best you can do is to let them go & focus on those ones you have control over.  There are lots of things in your life or around you that you can control, it's your responsibility to focus on them. Sam Bern lived his life focusing on things that have nothing to do with Progeria. He didn't thought about the sickness but focused on his own happiness. 2. Surround yourself with people you want to be around. Decide to surround yourself with people who have positive influence on you & on what you do.  Be with families & friends who makes significant I...

Philosophy for a Happy Life (Part 1)

Sam Bern was an American activist born in October 23rd, 1996. Died in January 10th, 2014. (17years) After watching Sam Bern 2013 speech at TEDx yesterday, my mind drew back to an event that happened to me in October 19th, 2019. Here is my story: I was coming home on this beautiful Saturday morning from a church vigil - the end of a 3- day revival program & like a dream, 3 arms men came from different directions & attacked me. Like a goat pulled down to be slaughtered by men, these people pulled my back on the ground & everything on me was taken away including my precious phone. Everything was taken with few injury on my hand. I remembered that the only song that filled my mouth was "You've done so much for me & I cannot tell it all - Narekelemo." Actually I don't know why. I came back home depressed but the song was in my mind comforting me. I got home & had my sleep without informing anyone at first. I slept before telling my dad, ...

1. Someone work for a whole month & receive the sum of #100,000 salary. 2. Another person just work for few hours in a day & receive the same #100,000. 3. While someone was asleep & maybe minding his/her own business and receive an alert of #100,000 on his account just because another person remembered him & decided to pay him such money every month. Look at these 3 sets of people: They all receives the same amount of money but how they got it differs. It's quiet annoying & seem unfair to see a man holding something that you spent a month to have in his hand effortlessly. To some it might look like a short cut but to me it's a results of influence. God's call it favor. Influence through God and through men are systems design by God to elevate man beyond human understanding. If you don't have influence through any of the two, you will live your life struggling to have anything you want. Favor, grace & help are  tools God uses to sk...

No Procrastination

A doctor turned to his patients & said, "Bill, I have some bad news & some worst news for you." "Hold on now, doctor," said the concerned patient, "I can handle bad news & good news, but bad & worst news?" The doctor asked which one should be shared first & Bill wanted the bad news first. "Well," the doctor said sadly, "the result of all the tests are in & you only have 24 hours to live." "What? If that's the bad news what could possible be worst than that?" The doctor replied apologetically, "we found out yesterday & forgot to tell you." Bill lost his life in less than an hour after receiving that news. Listen. The effect in which procrastination will cost your time & your life will not be noticed until one day when you are in need of a thing & later realize that you have wasted lots of opportunities & chance to have or do it. What you can do now, do it n...

The Universal Law 3

Few weeks ago, I started a series with us on the topic The Universal Law . & I commenced with the law of Sowing & Reaping, the Law of Polarity, & today I will continue with another law call the law of germination. Law of Germination: This law state that whatever is planted requires some time before it comes to fruition. Let me tell you this, for every visions, dreams & desires requires a certain amount of time before they can be reached & manifested A seed planted today require some certain actions & effort by the owner before growing to become a tree, then produce fruits. Tree doesn't just grow up without series of effort put in place. Could it be that what you are passing through now is your seed time? Don't you think that you need to work for some certains period of time before having your desire before you? Don't be too obsessed with instant results. Thier is time for you to sow your ideas, work & put in your ene...

I started a teaching series with us on the Universal Law. I wrote on why we needed to know this law & in the part one, I started with the Law of Sowing & Reaping. If you have forgotten, I told you that thier is surely a time for everything in life. When you sow a good deed you will also reap it seed. Let's moves into another universal law call: 2. The Law of Polarity This law state that there are two sides to everything in nature. That is every situations can be seen in two ways. Take a deep breath & observe this: if there is an inside, definitely there will be outside. Something that is bad hold a potential to be good. If there is negative, there should also be positive. If there is fake, there is original. God the creator of all things is call the lion of Judah, yet He is also call the precious lamb. By looking at all things, you will observe that there two sides to everything depending on the angle you are & how you maximize them. "No matte...

Life is govern by laws & principles. The ealier you know this the better you live your life. "There are some laws that are universal, they work either you know them or not. Laws are designed for everyone  & you can take advantage of them if youk knowthem." - Gerry Robert I'm not talki ng about Nigeria Rule of Law, I'm directing you to the universal law. They are designed to produce results over & over if properly applied. Today, I will like us to take a look at the first law: 1. The Law of Sowing & Reaping: This is the first universal law which is the law of cause & effect. Whatever you sow & plant in the garden will produce a crop. What you sow is the cause & what you reap is the effect. Where you are right now in life is a result of what you sow years ago. Think about it, someone desn't just like or hate you. People don't just favoured or ignored you. They are the responses to what you have done in the past. You ...
