THE GIFT OF A SMILE

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.

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 increase your chances of living longer, being more productive and looking younger.

Not only will a genuine concern for others and healthy interpersonal relationships rid us of the negative energy that impedes progress, it will also increase our chances of a better life. With every smile we gift comes endless possibilities.

One of my favorite routine every day is teasing and playing jokes with people around me including my friends on social networks. I derive fulfillment and inner refreshment from such interactions. You can enjoy the same. Tell a joke; create an aura of fun and excitement around you. Let hearts yearn for your company, it makes outreach easier. Be a source of life, be a light. Remember God so loves us he gave Jesus, if you love as He expects you to you’ll be a giver. I beseech you to start small by putting a smile on someone’s face today and every day.

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours. Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year, this, was, consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year. The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March, I woke up, looked into the mirror, told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed, sometimes, too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain, I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i...

2016 Review: Niyi Olu Emmanuel, 2016, The Blessings And Lessons So Far

My life has been a testimony as far back as I can remember. I've been through a lot in this little life I've lived so far. Facebook has been an escape world for me and I find strength in my God as I fought my way through in life. After failed attempts to graduate two (2) years back, (I spilled twice), I was discouraged and depressed, but my Jesus is ever sweet to me, I've had beautiful life in Christ Jesus. To HIM alone be all the glory. Hallelujah! Hmm! Facebook has afforded me the opportunity of meeting friends, beautiful ones at that. Alphagirl Anthony, a tiny voiced, long legged friend of mine, her crazy posts and character made my days most times as I laughed heartily, you're such a darling. Norberts Cindy, she was first my partner in attacking Rita then she became my Bae, she possess a good heart and "shy", (although I don't believe she's shy sha). I cherish you girl, (still waiting for my birthday post from you sha). Ujam Emmanuel is my g...
