HELP ME TO SEE ME! THE WAY YOU SEE ME, LORD Help me to see me the way You see me. Sometimes I see pains Lord, where You see victory.  I see where I am Lord, You see where I shall be. Open my eyes, help me believe I am what you see… Lord when I see myself broken, You see me stronger When I feel am left alone, You blesses me with your company When I feel like the whole world  is against me, You show me that Your love is all that matters In my imperfections Lord, You showed me that A Grace is enough! Oh! I am overwhelmed by Your love. Thank You for being the God that You are. Even in our weakness, You keep showing us Your mercy, manifesting Your strength and embezzling us with Your love. Thank You, Lord. There will and can never be any God like You! And with a grateful heart we say “GREAT ARE YOU, LORD”! (X3)

A SHORT STORY _ ( FICTIONAL) If emotions can be turned into words, I don’t mind bleeding whilst I write down my heart on paper. I have grown to love you all my life and I can’t live without you; in fact, I won’t live without you. I only wish you can love me a little, I can actually live with it. I love you so much, Ken. It’s me again Andy and this is definitely the last note I will be writing to you, Love. Ken was about to tear the paper when his wife Grace walked in. It’s from the same secret admirer, right? Let me read it (Grace asked)… You are a lucky young lady that this is the last note will be writing to me, I would have dealt with you if another should arrive (Ken murmurs as he hands the note to his wife). Ken is a married man with 3kids. It’s been 6years of his married life and Andy has been writing to him every single day for the past 1year, of course, he didn’t read all the notes… AT the back of Andy’s note was “I will end it again today, if you can’t love me...

You are created to DOMINATE! When you came to planet earth, you were born naked but not empty. You have something to offer. Even before you were born, God has already deposited something meticulous in you and that’s what makes you, you and unique. Have you discovered yours? Your purpose! Your uniqueness! The thing that makes you different! The real YOU in you! Hey! don’t ever think you are empty or you have nothing to deliver or that you’re useless, or perhaps purposeless. You are not a mistake.

What is (Real) Love? According to Wikipedia: Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasure. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love of food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of a strong attraction and emotional attachment. Love is also considered to be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, as "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". It is also a compassionate and affectionate action towards other humans. Ancient Greek philosophers identified five forms of love:  Essentially  Familial love (in Greek, Storge) Friendly love or Platonic love (Philia) Romantic love (Eros) Guest love (Xenia)  Divine love (Agape). Which reflects more in your life amongst the...

The first time I was invited to speak to single ladies at a seminar, I said, “Yes!”—not because I was ready, but because it was too good a chance to pass up as someone that has always dreamt of been a motivational speaker and impacting on people especially ladies. (Success, no matter how long you’ve waited for it, always comes before you’re ready for it.) Then I freaked out. “I can’t do it. I’ll open my mouth and nothing will come out. I’m not too good, and so on. But by this time I knew a thing or two. So I made a resolution—the very rare kind that really is written in blood: “I will not, repeat, will not sabotage myself, no matter much I may want to.” I got everything ready—the clothes I would wear, my plans for what I was going to say. Then I was hysterical for two days before the show. On the big day, I pulled myself together, walked in, carried it off almost as smoothly as an old pro, thanked everyone (they were very impressed), went home and got hysterical again. Nobod...

Do You Stick to Your Commitments? You probably read that title and thought of your most recent vow of commitment – a course, or your business, or your marketing, or that thing you’ve been putting off. And you probably thought, “Hell yeah! I’m definitely committed!” I’m sorry to say that you’re probably not. Think of all those New Years’ promises people make every year – to go on a diet, to quit smoking, to spend more time with their kids, to focus on this or that. They break those promises. They forget about their commitments. They pretend they never uttered the fateful words. Most people go back to the way things were in just a few weeks. Life’s just easier that way. You see, commitment is easy. It’s just you making a vow. A promise. A statement of potential action. “I’m going to do this!” There. You’ve made a commitment. Pat yourself on the back. Sticking to your commitment takes dedication and effort. Hard,  hard  work. And the dedication to stick to pu...

“Set a Very Specific Goal” What is it that you want to achieve you need to be very clear on what the journey will look like. The goal needs to be specific and have a certain time attached. As a  life Inspirator , I work with a lot of people on their goals. Setting goals puts you in the driver’s seat, giving you the power to transform your life or take a company into the future. As enticing as that sounds, it is more common than not those goals are abandoned. To be successful, check your goals against my ten steps to help ensure you accomplish them. 1. Belief.  The first step to goal setting is to have absolute belief and faith in the process. If you don’t believe you can absolutely transform your life and get what you want, then you might as well forget about goal setting and do something else. If you are in doubt, look around you. Everything you can see began as a thought. Make your thoughts turn into reality. 2. Visualize  what you want. Think of what ...

1.       Be educated.  Education gives you the knowledge, skills, and credibility to achieve your maximum potential. In terms of financial success, statistics have shown that the more education you have (i.e. the higher degree you achieve), the more money you are likely to make ·          In 2011, the median weekly earnings for high school graduates was $638 while those with bachelor's degrees made $1053. That same year, those with masters or doctoral degrees made $1263 and $1551 respectively. ·          Not all education has to be formal. Apprenticeships and long-term training programs are also positively correlated with higher incomes. Obtaining a Certificate in your field can help to increase your salary. ·          Educate yourself for pleasure as well. The more you know about the world you live in, the more questions you wi...

Build your self-discipline. This will come easily if you have the relentless passion but it will mean that you can’t keep hitting the snooze button at 4.30am. It may be hard to believe when you’re facing a hot-fudge sundae or the prospect of sleeping in versus hitting the gym, but studies show that people with self-discipline are happier. People with a higher degree of  self-control   spend less time debating whether or not to indulge in behaviours that are detrimental to their health and are able to make positive decisions more easily. They don’t let impulses or feelings dictate their choices. Instead, they make level-headed decisions. As a result, they tend to feel more satisfied with their lives. There are things you can do to learn self-discipline and gain the willpower to live a happier life. If you are looking to take control of your habits and choices, here are the four(4) most powerful things you can do to master self-discipline. 1. Know your w...

What do you want your legacy to be?  Passion is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person. (The “thing” you’re passionate about). Passion compels you to take risks and push yourself past your current limits. It could be a hobby, injustice, art, sports, public speaking. Anything you feel strongly about. (Including things you can’t stand. Intense dislike of something is also a kind of passionate emotion and can drive you to create something new.). It doesn’t matter. If it pulls you and fills your thoughts, or makes you come alive, then it’s passion. Passion will inspire and encourage you even when you come up against challenges. What I’ve found in life, is that it’s our passion that directs us in the best possible course f...

“HERE’S TO THE BETTER YOU” Set boundaries with others. Advocate for your own needs. Be caring towards others, but don't accept abuse from anyone. Remember, being a good person does not mean you have to take violent or disrespectful language or actions from anyone. ·          Respect the boundaries others set for you, too. Listen to your loved ones when they tell you they need space or want to do something alone. 1. Change your perception. Many people, when faced with a tough scenario like losing a job, look at their life with despair. I lost a job years ago. It was the hardest thing, up till that point in my life, that had ever happened. I was lost. I finally realized my choices were to let the challenges and frustrations of the past dictate my current feelings and behaviour, or learn from the situation and realize what potential I have in my life. You can change your perception by trying to fi...

Manage your Time... One of the most effective skills you can have in life is powerful and effective  time management . If you're not managing your time well, there's no way you're going to reach your goals at work and the life outside of it. Sure, you might make some progress. But your time management will be an uphill battle if you don't take your time seriously. For people who squander and waste the precious little time they do have, they know all too well how difficult achieving even mildly difficult goals can be. The truth is that time is the greatest equalizer in life. No matter who you are, your age, income, gender, race or religion, you have the same amount of time as the next person. Whether you're filthy rich or dirt poor, your time is the same. It's not about how much time you have. It's about how effectively you  manage your time . So if you're serious about achieving your goals, not only do you need to set those goals the right way...
