Nigeria @ 55

Today's is Nigeria "Independence Day". My suggestion is to make today your own independence day. What will you NO LONGER be dependent on? A dead end job, overreaction, laziness, over eating, flimsy excuses, bad habits of any form??? Pick your fight and declare TODAY as your Independence Day.

Remember, the fate of a nation depends on moral resolve of its leaders and indeed its people. Let us play our role as a good citizen of this nation to leave a footprint that will stand the test of time. Nigeria will be great but it begins with YOU...

Happy Birthday Nigeria.

 

How Well Do You Handle Your Mistakes...

Mistake is refers to a wrong action, belief, or judgment; it may also suggest an incorrect understanding, perception, or interpretation.

Here are three tips on how best to handle a mistake:

1. See the mistake as a step on the road to a solution. 

Don't let mistakes depress or discourage you. We must realize that depression and discouragement are negatives that limit the future. 

2. Admit the mistake. 

I'll admit that takes courage, but recognition of errors is a sign of maturity. Not to recognize them is to deny them. The reality is that "denial" is more than just a river in Egypt—it's something that will limit your future. 

3. Know that it’s only when you ignore the mistake that it is negative. 

When we confront mistakes, we are taking full advantage of it as the "positive" they are. 

Note:- Out of mistakes come major accomplishments—because mistakes are often the springboard for success. - 

Cheers

Connection

Connection - The process of connecting with others opens up the doors to many good things. Yes, connection with the wrong people won't help you. Be wise in who you connect with but the majority of connections you make in life are going to be with good people. When you connect with others well you are energised and excited too.

Thus, connecting well with others not only add value to them but it also adds value to you. So, what ever you do each and every day find time to connect with them. I am sure they will remember you as you leave your mark, a legacy as their acquaintance or even their friend. 

 So, let's get out there and connect thereby adding value to those around us! How will you do that today? How will I do that. The field of opportunities abound! 

Remember, Connection is so much more than an 

email or a voicemail. It is hard to feel the warmth of an email. 

 Cheers.  

Your Passion

Your passion...

It will make you a better you

It will raise your level of consciousness

It will make life easier for you.

Cheers.

Reasons You Don’t Have A Stable Man Yet...

1. You’re not loving and affectionate. Sometimes women go through so many bad relationships, that by the time they meet a man that could be good for them, they are unaffectionate and distant. Don’t let your past bad relationships stop you from being a friendly, warm, affectionate and loving woman. It’s okay to tell a man how you feel about him. Don’t hold back.

2. You’re picky. In this day and age, women make good money and have higher expectations of men. Some women are looking for something specific, like a man that makes a six-figure salary, is 6’7″ tall and has brown chestnut skin. There is nothing wrong with knowing what you want. But does he really have to be 6’7″? No, he doesn’t. Give a shorter man a chance.

3. You can’t make a good pitcher of Kool-Aid (Joking)… Cooking is very important. If you find yourself with a good man, you should take it upon yourself to cook a good meal for him. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just something to let him know that he will be well fed if he chooses to be with you.

4. You’re the home girl. You’re quick to roll one up, go do errands, curse and you have countless “home boys” that come over on the low low. This is a bad sign. You’re the home girl that the fellas can call to come through, smoke one with, rent a cheap motel room, have get some action with, feed you some food and send you home. How does that make you feel? Not too good about yourself. This is a clear sign that you’re doing things wrong. It’s great to be useful, but not so useful that you’re being used.

5. You’re loud, obnoxious and ghetto. These reasons are so obvious. At a certain point in a woman’s life, she should be able to analyze the things she is doing wrong. You shouldn’t have to look around and see all of your friends are getting married or in relationships while you’re still dating this guy. Be feminine, lower your voice and be a woman. Your girls may laugh at your antics, but who’s going home alone at the end of the day?

In conclusion, GirlsAffair is admonished as many that will read through this clip not to take it personal but ponder on it and make necessary amendment cum corrections. Remember, I love and appreciate you all.

Cheers.

Wonderful Ways to Use Your Words

A word fitly spoken and in due season is like apples of gold in settings of silver.—Proverbs 25:11

Words matter.

They can build up or tear down. They can impart wisdom or bring shame. They can deliver encouragement or deflate the spirit. Words can be a weapon or a healing balm. A welcome sound or a dreaded racket. And words can even change the world. Who knows just how many pivotal points in history would have been changed if someone had used their words differently.

You Can Find Happiness...

I  couldn't resist sharing this beautiful story 😊

This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning.

So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness.

The counselor called over the old lady who cleans the office floors.

The counselor then said to the rich lady "I'm going to ask Mary here to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is listen to her."

So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:

"Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody. I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. 

Then, one evening a little cat followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that cat. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the cat in. I got some milk, and the cat licked the plate clean. Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and, for the first time in months, I smiled.

Then I stopped to think, if helping a little cat could make me smile, may be doing something for people could make me happy.

So, the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed.

Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.

Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do.

I've found happiness, by giving it to others."

When she heard this, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.

"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are; but on how happy others can be because of you..."

Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey. 

Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. 

Happiness is not dependency, it is a decision. 

Happiness is what you are, not what you have..😊 

I appreciate you.

Cheers.

All Because of You

Because of You...

I was self sufficient,

gratified by my independence,

alone, but not lonely,

I thought.

But I was restless,

searching blindly for something

to fill an empty place.

I didn't even know I had,

dimly aware that I was somehow unfinished.

Then you came,

and filled everything,

every space, every need,

even secret dreams

I had concealed from myself.

I was self sufficient, and restless;

Now, I am profoundly peaceful

and complete, because of you.

Much thoughts...

Dream Come True

A Dream Fulfilled

How could anyone ever know,

The sweet dreams that I dreamt as a youth,

Could blossom and focus and grow,

Until now they’d turn up as a truth.

A truth filled with blessing and wonder,

A truth filled with love and with caring,

A truth with a voice loud as thunder,

A truth with a message worth sharing.

For you, my love, filled all my dreams,

Of a life I thought never could be.

Now with you at my side, I’m contented;

For my dreaming came true, don’t you see?

I never gave up on my dreaming,

I persisted because I just knew,

A wait for real love is worth waiting,

Now you’re here, and my dreams have come true.

"Eleven Hints for Life"

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. 

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. 

Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Cheers.
