HELLO WORLD! BEGINNING TODAY



Hello World, once again my name is IKPEFUA JOY CHRISTIANA Alias Ciana Joy. I woke up today with new desires and bright aspirations. I made a list of everything I want to change about me and the amazing thing is that, everything I listed is starting to take effect beginning today and I’m going to stick to them not minding the challenges.

Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.

Beginning today I will no longer wait for things to happen. I will make things happen by acting on it.

Beginning today I will no longer feel emotional about criticisms about me. I also will no longer care about what people think or say about me. The only thing I will start to care about is what God is thinking and saying about me.

Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life. I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others. I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time. Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

Beginning today I will become more of a spiritual person than a physical person. I will take my personal relationship with God more seriously than my relationship with men. I will spend more time in His presence, study His word more often and take my prayer life more seriously.

Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human shortcomings.

Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something different; I will savour all the various flavours life has to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

Trusting God for the strength.....

What about you? Can this motivate you to make some life changing decisions too??

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...
