VICTIM

December 16, 1985      Christmas period for the George family is one that everybody looks forward to. This is the one time in the year Lucy's mom feeds the nation, because every known sibling to Lucy's dad comes with their families to Mr. George's famous "castle" of a house.  This Christmas is one Lucy will not forget in a hurry. I mean... how can she ? This night after all the eating, drinking and story telling, everyone retired for the night unbeknownst to them, Lucy's fate. I am sure you have guessed it already, :(  LUCY was raped that night by her fathers brother who in his defense said "I wanted to know what 12 year olds tasted like." OKAY TAKE JUST 2min TO HAVE YOUR SOBER REFLECTIONS... NOW SHAKE IT OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!! July 16, 2016 Lucy is now how old ? ____                                         LET'S MEET LUCY No Job No skill No investments Still living with her parents Whenever she gets the opportu

THE NEED TO KNOW

Sometimes knowledge is what shortchanges us, but really... it is "we" who do the harm to ourselves. The "need to know" is easily replaced these days with "what is available." The hunger to be sure is now doused with acceptability. Have you ever mused on the fact that maybe: If only you read a little further you would have covered that topic for the exam. If only you asked her, she would have said yes and not marry Luis. If you fellowshipped more with the HOLYSPIRIT you wouldn't have singed that shady contract. If you took that professional exam you could have qualified for that managerial position. "ILL LUCK?" really? ...is that your best defense?  :( Truth is, LUCK is only a mirage and it exists only in the mind of FOOLS ; okay pardon my language...nah scratch that F O O L S !!!!!!!!!!  Knowledge can save you years of unnecessary HARD WORK. GET KNOWLEDGE. ..but don't just stop there, decide to USE IT. 

ANGER

Have you ever sat and pondered on everything that gets you angry? Were they worth it ? Did you really have to react? Could you have walked away? Think about every smile you let go because you had to frown your way through your ego. There actually is more to life. Decide to let no one "steal" your JOY. Have a lovely day.

CARE

People need to feel loved. People need to reminded how much human they also are. Now, you might be a  "care-less" or "indifferent"  person when it comes to being concerned about how people treat you, but that does not mean you should treat those in your sphere of contact that way. Your nanny wouldn't mind if you come home and ask her how her day was. Your spouse would feel loved when you ask how his/her day at the office was.  That young man who does your laundry wouldn't mind a cup of coffee when he comes to pick up the laundry. IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS YOU DO. Care can be shown at different levels.  Remember to be genuinely interested in people. It could just make the person more efficient or go as far as giving the person a reason to live. LOVE ALWAYS WINS...

SELFLESSNESS

Consider the following sentences: Everyone wants something new.  Everyone likes receiving favors. Preacher declares "You will have a blessed week in the name of Jesus," everyone choruses "AMEN." PAUSE ... take a moment to read these three sentences again and see how your subconsciousness selfishly interprets it. Let me give you a hand.  You are thinking: I want something new I like receiving favors Whoa!!! I am gonna be blessed this week  ACTS 20:35-  " It is more blessed to give than to receive ." Now go back to the 3 sentences above and read them with the mind of a GIVER . Be the one to give people new things. Be the one to grant others favors After that service in church, start thinking of who to bless during the week Trust me, God knows how to take care of his own. You cannot be the GIVER and lack any good thing. #mindsetofagiver

VALUES

"Who are you?" "What do you really stand for?" These two questions can only be answered by YOU. People find it easy to live a life of pretense. They "act" when they are around people and "revert" to their default selves when they are all alone. Most in this default state, regret what ever actions they took while acting. You don't have to:  act clean in front of your boss while at the office, when you know that your house is a pig sty.  go clubbing with that friend just because you want to please him/her. eat that meal when you know you don't like it go into that business because all your friends are in it  go to that school just because you want to be close to her/him BE WHO YOU ARE ...and if for any reason you feel that who you are isn't enough. You can always adjust and become better.  Pretending to be who you are not, always backfires. FIND OUT THOSE VALUES THAT MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE AND STAND BY THE

RELATIONSHIP GOALS

Now calm down, I am not about to tell you how to meet a guy or woo a girl. BUT ...what i tell you today can sure secure a FANTASTIC future for you. Most people like to make friends, and even those who are explicit introverts have certain people in their lives who they call friends. The question many fail to ask is: Why is she/he my friend Why do i enjoy spending time with him/her How much influence(positive) does she/he have in my life What has changed in my life since i met him/her These are just 4 of the basic questions that we should really ask when we get into any kind of relationship with someone. OUR FRIENDS SHOULD: bring out the best in us challenge us to aim higher in life encourage us to be better versions of ourselves e.t.c ANYBODY who does the opposite of all these should be " DIS-FRIENDED " :) ...had to make that word up THERE IS A SAYING. .."Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are" YOU ARE AS GOOD OR A

WORDS

Words matter a lot, especially our usage of them. Most people can endure certain negative behaviors from people close to them, but the moment words are used to offend, it becomes UNFORGIVABLE.  How hard is it to say " THANK YOU. " What would it cost you to say " PLEASE." How many minutes would it take you to say " I AM SORRY. " These very simple words, when used timely can save a marriage  save a relationship get you a job score you an interview Learn to use words and use them right. YOUR WORDS DEFINE YOU ...

PATIENCE

Everybody likes to eat a nice delicious meal, but not every one likes to COOK . Most people have seen themselves playing one musical instrument or the other, but not all of them like the LEARNING PHASE . "Mum, I want to be a medical doctor." ...Most young people say...but many get FRUSTRATED out of medical school with complaints on how tedious the " reading " is. We all want to own big companies and achieve great success, but not all have the " staying-power " to endure the " start-up " phase. Point is , we all want to achieve something great in our lives but give up too soon while undergoing the process. Everybody wants it FAST .  HERE IS A BETTER WAY TO LOOK AT IT Let your passion for the END be your driving force during the PROCESS. GIVING UP OR GIVING IN IS NOT AN OPTION ... because you might just give up too soon. CHOOSE TO BE PATIENT.  IF IT IS WORTH IT, THEN IT IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. #daretobelieve

GLOBALIZATION

The reason many businesses remain small is because of the mindset of the owner. Why think and be concerned about affecting your immediate environment when you can affect the world. Funny enough we all want to "hit big", BUT how many of us actually prepare to? Every thing you are involved in has the ability to grow as big as you want it to, IF you want it to. I challenge you today to : think beyond your existing environment see beyond your means start from where you are and with what you have  The impact you will make will stand for generations to come. #foodforthought

NOW OR NEVER

WHY WAIT : to buy those shares  to start up that company to build that unique fashion line  to improve that existing commodity  to build that school to invent and patent that product It is just not enough to have an idea , it is just not enough to dream. What you do after that idea or dream comes to you is the most important. Many have come and left the world without living out their very bright idea. Others go about shouting " I HAVE A DREAM " only for them to eventually leave this world without ever accomplishing it.  :( Some others sing the song of their bright idea so much that another takes the vision and actualizes it, then they are left bitter and go on lamenting how that bright idea was theirs. Nature has a way of balancing itself . When God births a dream in your mind, act on it immediately. The fact that the idea came to you means that it is necessary for humanity. So when you delay, you try to cheat nature and by default the idea shifts to the

PREGNANT

MOST ladies can relate to the word “ pregnant .” ...men too. But I am in no regard referring to the period of gestation in a female specie. Everybody at certain points in their lives get pregnant; man, woman, boy, or girl.  Though many, laced with unskillfulness terminate the pregnancy even at its earliest stages. CHILL :) let me drive this home... Every single human has the ability to birth ideas, but even from conception, the future of the child can be determined. When you are pregnant with an idea: Mind who you listen to Mind who you tell Mind your environment too If you allow just about anybody tell you what to and what not to do about YOUR idea, they might end up poisoning your mind about it leading to an early abortion or a deformed child at birth. At the conception of an idea, your environment matters. If you have to lock yourself up and avoid some certain places to enable your mind think right and positive, DO IT !!!! Nurtu

THE ANSWER IS "NO"

NO is a word we should all come to appreciate. I mean, we mustn't always be available at all times even to ourselves. Saying or rather using the word " NO " can save you a lot of unnecessary regrets. Now why do we think we have to say YES .... simple: to save a relationship to please a friend or loved one  to have immediate gratification because the thought of waiting any longer to achieve something worthwhile is TIRESOME  peer pressure to not look bad  For one brief moment, think about that one time you said YES when a NO could have saved you one night of REGRET . I am not by any chance saying you should turn to a snub :) Start first with YOU . Practice saying NO to yourself: NO to that habit  NO to getting angry  NO to being vulnerable  NO to shedding tears YOU KNOW YOUR WEAK POINTS...CHOOSE YOUR NO CAREFULLY It would not happen in one day, but keep at it. PERSISTENCE is key. SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY TO SAY YES IS A POLITE "NO&qu

LOVERS GUIDE

LOVE is love only when it is TRUE . Everybody goes off saying " love is blind " … IS IT? Love in its default setting is UNCONDITIONAL . My Advice to YOU: When you love, do so with all of you.  There is no need to be selfish about love if it is genuine and for the right reasons. When you care for someone, really do.  Be seriously concerned about others.  People must not love you in return, actually, they do not have to. LOVE IS TRULY ALL THAT MATTERS Never let your actions be deficient of love.  DO NOT EVER PRETEND TO LOVE OR CARE FOR SOMEONE because that love wouldn't stand the test of time. You would end up very frustrated. True love; the love of Christ in the heart of a man, ALWAYS WINS . When you make this love available to those around you, you give them a reason to be alive. You also wouldn't ever have to feel betrayed because you are a love-child of a Love-God, therefore you have all the love you require from your fathe

THE DAY AFTER

Why do tomorrow , what you can do today. PROCRASTINATION REALLY NEVER HELPED ANYONE. This " not-today-mentality " has made many face life-time opportunities,  ill-prepared .  They are blinded by false hope; Hope not founded on solid truth. Tomorrow really never comes .  Think about it.... by tomorrow, it would be TODAY, and you would be looking forward to another bleak future you have no hold on, simply because you let the present pass. STAND UP AND ACT while daylight still lingers because by midnight tomorrow ends and today begins. Why put the PRO in procrastinate? NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO BE ALIVE. SEIZE TODAY AND CONTROL TOMORROW. #onelookatyou

STEREOTYPE

It's funny how we get offended when people have certain views about us.  Are we always the victims? NO !!!  We also serve our own fair share to those around us. Now, I am not saying it is your fault...Our society has just shaped our minds that way. You have just grown up with all the wrong information , and our parents are kings in the art;  Mum tells you "Boys are evil, they only want to get into your pants."  Now you have this very single shallow view of every male that comes your way. "Nigerians are thieves" therefore every black man you come into contact with, whether kenyan or probably a black american; who has no idea how to spell nigeria, is a criminal . When you allow such single views cloud your mind about things and people, you stop yourself from experiencing the beauty life has to offer. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. THINGS CHANGE, PEOPLE DO TOO. TRY TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND ABOUT THE WORLD.                                       trust m

INTERDEPENDENCE

Everybody wants to become successful .  Everybody wants to stand ou t.  These days people go on about how proud they are to be independent , and how independence pays off . What they fail to realize is the fact that no man is an island . You cannot become successful without people .  WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER !!!! No matter how great an architect you are, you still need an expert " independent " mechanic to fix your car when it gets bad. Even the President of the country needs an expert " independent " hairstylist/hairdresser to cut/style his/her hair. I know some people have a do it yourself policy . That's okay, but how long would they last. If we really learn to work with people, our INDEPENDENT stories would be beautiful. #onelookatyou

BLACK LOOK

Someone gets you upset at 3 am in the morning, now everyone who comes in contact with you during the day would have to suffer for it.  YOU ARE ANGRY Your boss calls you a blonde and insults your supposed ego during work hours, you get home and your husband and kids are held responsible. YOU ARE UPSET You got expelled from school, now you choose to EXPEL yourself from life too? Truth is , there is a 105% possibility that the people responsible for your supposed countenance forget they got you upset the moment you leave their sight. They go about their normal lives while you are being held hostage by their words or actions. THINK ABOUT IT.... People only have a hold on you to the extent you give them room to. YOUR FACE IS YOURS. DECIDE THE LOOK YOU WANT TO WEAR.  #onelookatyou

Voodoo

For one minute, take your mind away from the dolls and the pins.  Think WITCHCRAFT !!!!!!   Relax , we all are guilty of practicing " magic " or to some extent allow ourselves to be influenced by it. Think of that one time you wanted something so much that your roommate, mum, or friend practically walked into the room with it. Remember when you predicted that you might fail that exam and when the results were out... YOU FAILED . My point is quite simple:          We all have some power over the things that happen to us. Whether or not we choose to take advantage of that power, does not in any way mean that it is not present or that it wouldn't affect us. Imagine going for a job interview and dressing as though your dad owns the place. Imagine writing an exam you already passed. We can take control of the events that take place in our lives thereby owning our very own COSMOS . Placing ourselves where opportunities meet us well and prepared , leaving t

OPINIONS

Mum : “Sweetheart, don't let the preacher fool you, the idea of God is a fantastic trick.” Dad : “Son, life has its way of kicking you below the belt. Just accept whatever fate it metes out to you.” Cassie : “Girlfriend, there really is no love in the world anymore.” Josh : “Unemployment seems to be the order of the day.” Friends : “Don't even bother trying, we all tried and lost it all.” These are some of the words we often swallow from people very close to us. BUT , have you ever analyzed these words? Take a minute..... Two words come to mind. EXPERIENCE and OPINIONS People tend to give “ advice ” and make suggestions on how you should run your life based on their experiences. Truth is, we...blinded by emotions, fall prey to their OPINIONS on LIFE. Remember, all they have to offer are opinions not facts. CHOOSE CAREFULLY WHO YOU LISTEN TO.  

MURDERER !!!!!!!

Assassination has since metamorphosed since the murder of JFK. People no longer need weapons to turn a nation handicap. They do it in the comfort of their rooms. Now don't just sit there reading this and wondering what kind of people are responsible for such inhumane actions. YOU ARE ALSO A CULPRIT. Really?  (-_-) you are asking " how? " Allow me to show you HOW How many times have you started something great and stopped halfway because you met a temporary set back How many times have you buried an inspiration that came to you simply because you thought " CAN I ?" Remember when you simply quit because a certain " someone " got you annoyed  How about that time you gave up because you failed at the first or even the 60th try These days you blame your shortcomings on your environment  For every dream you LET GO , a nation looses a gift.  Now imagine if everyone in the world follows in your footsteps, then civilization as we know

SMOKESCREEN

You seem to be a vey good actor. Hollywood has got nothing on you. I even hear them cheer you in the background. yeah yeah  (-_-) , go ahead and rest on your laurels.  Permit me to join the parade and list some of your theatrical achievements... Friend to all Pleaser of all men Mr. Everything to everybody  Slow down, this mirage of a success you seem to be basking in has a very myopic lifespan. You cannot bag all these medals and be successful in life. Let your vision choose your friends.  Would you step on toes? YES Would you loose some friends ? YES Must they all accept you ? NO BE who you are, not who " THEY " expect you to be. Rid yourself of this FALSE LIFE . Life is beautiful when it is " YOURS " to live.

PSYCHED

“ I've got this ”  “ I can take care of ME ” … your favorite words to your subconscious mind. You are always out there, somewhat available to all. A very good listener and a perfect adviser . The best part is the fact that you see people take your words and run with them; maybe a friend, colleague, relative or a perfect stranger, they swallow your words and their lives take an upward turn. Now here you are, facing a little challenge, and you think the world has come to an end or is just unfair to you. Come to think of it; you FIX others. So what are you waiting for...  FIX YOU . Didn't work right? Here is a Fun Fact... If you; being as human as you are, have the ability to fix others, it simply means you are already taken care off by the one who MADE “you” possible. Learn to let go of your cares. CAUTION : GOD AT WORK

I QUIT :(

Okay, I get it :( ... you tried. You actually even surpassed your "pushing capacity." ... FANTASTIC QUESTION: WHAT CHANGED ?   NOTHING. Truth is, giving up never really made anyone or anything better. All it does is to push the " worry-date" to LATER .   People say "you win or learn" , and I agree, BUT there is an underlying factor in this statement that many fail to see. NOW YOU ARE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION... ;)   WHAT? very simple... CHOICE Before you start any task, be conscious of the fact that your mind already has been conditioned on what to expect as an end result, and whether to interpret it as a WIN or a LOSS . And even it did not go according to plan it is still in your hands to CHOOSE to  LEARN   from  the  experience.  Remember the only person that can limit you is the guy at the other end of your mirror.
