IF YOU COULD START YOUR LIFE ALL OVER WHAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT?



If you could start your life all over what would be different? What would you change now if you were able to wave a magic wand and start from scratch? Just imagine you have no ties, no burdens, no limits, no memories, and no past. What would your life look like? If the answer that comes to your mind is different than what you are doing, why is that? Is it because of someone else's opinion? Your parents, spouse, friends?

The ultimate test of your life is to close your eyes and think of yourself on your deathbed. Lying there, preparing yourself to leave, look back at your life as you are currently living it.
How do you feel? Are you satisfied you lived completely? Or do you wish you had done differently? Very few of our forerunners look back on their life and say, "I sure wish I had spent more time at the office!" Nobody says, "I wish I had watched more TV!" or I wish I had acquire more possessions! This is what they usually say "I wish I had been bolder. I wish I was more passionate. I wish I kept more good friends. I wish I had given more. I wish I had tried harder to see more, do more and feel more." People wish that they had lived more.

Make an attempt today to start with a brand new page of your life. Create your life story how you want it. If there are others in your life to be involved, have them do the same exercise. Then compare your notes. If this matches your current life, congratulations! You are one of the few. Now make it better.

However, if your written life stories sound like someone completely different, then you are living a life of conflict. Here is the good news. Your life is your life. No one can take that away from you. You are not indentured. You are not a slave. You are free to go, do, and be whomever you wish.

It might not be easy, but it sure might be worth it. There are so many things to be grateful for, and so many things open to us. And we owe it to the one person (God) who has given us this opportunity to take advantage of it. It’s never too late to create a new life story for yourself. Start today! Start Now! Thrive to live life well.

INSPIRING STORY: LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright. A natural leader. The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project. But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper. When he got angry, he usually said, and often did, some very hurtful things. In fact, he seemed to have little regard for those around him, even friends. So, naturally, he had few. “But,” he told himself, “That just shows how stupid most people are!”  As he grew, his parents became concerned about this personality flaw, and pondered long and hard about what they should do. Finally, the father had an idea. And he struck a bargain with his son. He gave him a bag of nails, and a BIG hammer. “Whenever you lose your temper,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back. Hit that nail as hard as you can!” Of course, those weathered oak boards in th...

2016 Review: Ayomide Oguntunde, 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far..

LESSON AND BLESSING THIS YEAR SO FAR....... The year 2016 has been a year full of great blessings and greater lessons. Here, i will start with the lessons, and the first is not to trust in man But God only. Uhmmmm, there are times in our dear life that we put our hope in man not that we don't believe in what God can do But really cant say what happen not until it dawn on us that our only hope should be in God because He's the master planner of everything.      Secondly, i learnt that friendship have categories and you don't get Love in return from all friends (Smile). Its not that they hate you But have some other people on top of there friendship list, they might not be better than you do, But i got to know that no matter how you try, you cannot just force Love. Also, i got to understand the pain inner tears causes and the solution of crying the pains out to have an inner joy though not easy But one will just continue to hurt the mind. I will also like to talk ...
