Are we there yet?!

      For the last few days, in preparation of securing a job, I have been creating my resume or what you may call curriculum vitae (yeah, it took me this long to create one). As I made fresh inputs to the document using the Microsoft Word software on my notebook (which I also use to write all my articles…Microsoft must pay me for this publicity!), I have had to reminisce a lot about my life in the last seven to ten years. Normally, by virtue of human development, I should be doing the reflection thingy by the time all the hair on my head go grey but as the situation called for it, I had to engage my mind for memories.
      As I went on, I had a certain good feeling in my tummy, like I just hit the jackpot. I felt like I had seen it all and done it all, you should have seen the look on my face. But midway I had to grab a hold of myself and shake myself back to reality. ‘You aren’t even close by’, was what I kept telling myself.
      You see, success may bring a heady feeling of having done it all. A small amount of success can bring great retrogression if not well managed. After a small accomplishment, feel good, celebrate, and dance all you want but don’t settle down, move on. Settling down in a place of accomplishment is an act of self sabotage and self endangerment. It will only inevitably lead to self extinction. You must endeavour not to fall into the trap of staying in your success but to use it as a climbing stone to greater opportunities for accomplishments.
     As a biblical example is the shepherd boy turned king, David, who used his success with tending sheep in his defeat of Goliath. Soliloquize and reminisce about your accomplishments to boost your confidence to take on greater tasks. That is the purpose of success, to spur you on to greater things ahead.
Have a great week ahead in your journey to a beautiful life.
Sincerely yours, Oluwatobi Gbemisola

Each Moment Matters

Imagine you could travel through time and make amends of every of your mistake. Imagine that after each day, you could go back to treasure every moment spent during the day, re-living it. Friends, you don’t have to time travel to live with happiness and fulfillment. All you should try to consistently do is to appreciate every moment you spend with the people in your life, simply because that is all that matters. Forget about the money, the grades, the hurts and the regrets…they are all background noises, tiny blemishes in the face of the beauty that life has to offer in the fleeting time we are here.

Endeavour to live each day as great as you can because you cannot go back to re-live it. A day lived is lived for good, so maximize the opportunity to love, encourage, support, to lighten the burden of another and to put a smile on the face of another.

Life is too simple to keep malice and fight one another. Forget it, it ain’t worth that. Smile more, laugh more, worry less, be grateful the most.

Maximize the moment.

Moving with the Times

“There is a time for everything…”-The Bible
Time is the currency of the world. Most importantly is to know the times and work with it. We cannot disregard the times and work independent of it, the results would be disastrous if that happened. Everything in the universe works around timing, living and non-living. Opportunities also work around timing. It comes and goes and it takes a man of discernment to know which opportunity to take and when to take them. Opportunities also turn stale like uneaten bread therefore it is important that one knows when to move when not to.
The following suggestions are made regarding maximizing opportunities
(1) No one is looking.
(2) BeWell prepared.
(3) Be Ready to go all the way.
(4) Do it immediately.
(5) After introspection and Prayer.
If you take an opportunity at the right time, you will reap bountiful rewards even as a farmer that sows a crop in its very soon, he will reap an harvest unparalleled to no other time!
