Life is a Boomerang. What you give is what you get! Givers never lack. They will always have something to give. Giving is one of the secret of success that has only been identified by few people. Giving is the master key to success in all applications of human life. We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give. ‘No one has ever become poor by giving’ (Anne Frank). The heart that gives will always attract good things and good people. Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have. ‘If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way’ (Buddha). No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted. Take it or leave it, giving will always open the way for you to receive. A kind gesture can heal a wound that only compassion can reach. ‘When you learn, teach. When you get, give’ (Maya Angelou). ‘Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present’ (Albert Einstein)....

Our smile will bring happiness to us and to those around us. Even if we spend a lot of money on gifts for everyone in our family, nothing we buy could give them enough happiness as the gift of our awareness, our smile, and this precious gift cost nothing.   Gifts are good and everybody loves to receive one. Gifts have a way of adding color to our day and lubricating our relationships. However not too many people give gifts, especially the inexpensive gift of a smile. Most of us are caught up in our busy schedules that we put on an “I don’t care attitude” as we ignore obvious pains and mind our businesses. Well, as believers, our God expects more from us. He desires from us a life of impact and compassion so we cannot but care. More so, life is about value exchange. Whatsoever you give you get in increased measure. When we add value to others, we receive the same value in 100 folds.   So when you give a smile, you enrich yourself. In fact when you give a smile often, you i...

T his question was thrown to us one Sunday morning during a sermon in my church. I don’t know how others reacted to this brainstorming question but it kept me thinking all through the week. I kept asking myself the same question repeatedly on a daily basis and each time I hear people passionately discussing about the life and success of others. The moment that question came at me, I knew I was guilty and that really got me disturbed. I then realised that I really have a lot of work to do in getting to the level where people will begin to discuss my name for my challenges, failures, and achievements. Some of us are just too busy concerning ourselves with the lives of others while ours is at stake. Sometimes we get really so engrossed about some individual’s success that we follow all of their daily activities. We know when they get their new car, houses etc. This can obviously be seen in football fans. Nigerians especially are too attached with foreign clubs and footballers. They k...

Good morning all. This post was shared on a group on whatsaap and it really kept me thinking so I thought you need to read too.. I am very angry and that is why I am addressing you. You are the source of my anger and I want to vent my spleen- maybe not at you directly- but at the arrogance of your ignorance. . You sit in front of a computer and rant all day through social media but with every click, you make money - not for yourself - but for Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook). With every megabyte of data you spend complaining and maligning, you make stupendous bucks for Etisalat, Glo,Airtel & Mtn. Over the next two years, the number of Nigerian millionaires will jump by 47% but most likely you will not be among because you are too busy whining and complaining. And yet about 60% of Nigeria’s 170m population are below 35 years. Oh, what a waste! By the way, Mark Zuckerberg was 19 when he started Facebook.

Yes! I’m back again because I really couldn’t wait to share this A.S.A.P. A friend of mine, shared this now with me on Whatsapp asking me to share with others. So here I am doing what I was asked to do after reading..(smiles) and I hope you do the same.  In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was hoping to go out with this question: 'What kind of man are you looking for?' She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, 'Do you really want to know?' Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes. She began to expound, 'As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can't do for myself? I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man... or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?'   The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought & stated, '...

Hello guys! How is your day going? Well mine is going well and besides I just had my lunch and seriously it was delicious (winks). Yea, I have really been busy lately but I really thought I need to drop something today. So here I’m again with my pen always writing something to inspire you and making you thinking for the rest of your day. Trust me, it helps.  What Are You Really Aiming At? I mean, what is (are) exactly your goal(s)? There are too many people in too many cars, in too much of a hurry. Going too many directions, to get nowhere for nothing. Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a big difference between a ‘must’ and ‘want’. So many times, we are just too busy doing nothing.   If you don’t have clearly defined goals, you will end up helping others to achieve theirs. If you chase two rabbits at the same time, there is a tendency that both will escape. What you set your heart on, determines how you will spend you...

Are you getting tired of your present situation? Are you so fed up of life that you think you can't take it anymore? I'm glad to let you know that God is aware of whatever challenges we are goin through and He is ready to answer us when we call on Him. Here, I want to share with you some Inspiring bible verses to help ease your pain and give you more hope.. Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.   Jer. 33: Vs 3:     The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.   Proverbs 18 Vs 10

Yes, I’m at it again. You should know that my pen is ever ready to share and today I’m letting you in on a little secret to a more successful and happy life; “the gift of a smile”. Gifts are good and everybody loves to receive one. Gifts have a way of adding color to our day and lubricating our relationships. However not too many people give gifts, especially the inexpensive gift of a smile. Most of us are caught up in our busy schedules that we put on an “I don’t care attitude” as we ignore obvious pains and mind our businesses. Well, as believers, our God expects more from us. He desires from us a life of impact and compassion so we cannot but care.

Do more than is required. The distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives merely following is ‘The Extra Mile’ (Grey Blair). There is no passion to be found playing small-in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living (Nelson Mandela). The extra mile is never crowded because many people are not interested in going that way. ‘If you don’t love something, you are not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quote as much’. Your talents determine what you can do, your motivation determines how much you are willing to do and your attitude determines how well you do it. Push yourself because no one is going to do it for you. Don’t limit your challenges,
