GOOD INTENTIONS - A HARMLESS VISIT - 2

Image
...continued from  part 1 The call dropped and Frank sat up on his bed. His mind was still restless from the events that occurred after work hours. The only image that stayed constant amidst his chaotic thoughts was Kaffi. Her beauty still occupied his very vivid imagination; her smile, her eyes, her voice, the way she exuded confidence even when she was being mischievous.  He knew he wasn't supposed to be thinking of her this way, not after what just happened at her place, but he couldn't help it, his thoughts were conflicting right now, and he needed to put them in check before he gets consumed by his lust. Rising from his bed, he walked to the mini-fridge in his bedroom, opened it and withdrew a cold drink to wash down the unwholesome thoughts that paraded his subconscious... it wasn't working. Still clutching the drink in his hand, he wandered towards the TV area and turned on the TV. The screen stared back with "NO SIGNAL"..." How rich,...

Questions

Image
Have you ever asked why? Why you seem intolerant? Why you never finish a job? Why you always have to cry? Why you never keep to time? Why you never love another? Why you have no friends? Why you never get satisfied? Why you always have to shout? Why you never seem to focus? Why you always come behind? HAVE YOU? Must you always be the victim? Must you always lose the game? Must you always take a beating? Must you give up easily? Must you hate for no reason? Must take what isn't yours? Must you lie? Must you cheat? Must you have sex? Must you say YES? MUST YOU? There are a lot of things you need to understand, about yourself, and until that is done you will always be a victim of life, circumstances, and self.

LET'S HATE TOGETHER

Image
I know, some people are wicked… some deserve to be stabbed, while for a whole bunch of others, death will be too good for them. Now these guys don’t get it, they forget that we, who are victims to their selfish actions, are human too. They go about treating us like scum, like we we're foolish to have availed ourselves and our precious time to them. For some of them, we actually played a major role to their success stories today, and now they cannot stand the sight of us. take a moment and breathe So what do we do ? Hate them? Punish them? Find ways to do them wrong? Get the world to see them for the EVIL they are? Now, no matter what you choose from the list above… YOU WOULD BE WRONG. Understand me, okay? They are wrong, they deserve all that our sinister hearts wish them and more … but Would it make it any better? Would you get any bigger? YOU, AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR JOY Most of you now go the extra-mile creating family feuds that...

THE REASON WHY YOU ARE STUCK

Image
Th e answer is quite simple,  YOU . Now as you all know I try as much as possible to use simple things to explain   real life   situations . So take your mind off any literal meaning to my topic of discuss and look a tad  inwards  . Now that I have your attention...let's talk. 😎 Are you aware that everyone is capable of teaching or more politely put...capable of showing others the way. Though many see it as one of those jobs reserved for those who couldn't make it into the law firms, or the hospital or any other very lucrative industry, yet we all would nod our heads in agreement if in a meeting the person addressing us says : **The more you teach the better you know and understand** How many really pay attention to the above statement? In the world today you find many professionals who say things like: It just comes naturally to me.😐 I really can't explain how I do it.😏 How do you want me to teach when I am still learning .😤...

LITTLE THINGS

Image
Why don't you ever tell yourself the truth? I could ask you if you believe in God and you would easily tell me " YES" ...really...do you? You have been a Christian for some years now  or you recently just got saved and you feel the word of God has limits. So it's okay to pray for certain things that matter like protection, strong health, money, great family, e.t.c, and for the other supposedly "little things", you don't think God should be bothered about it. When you say you have faith is God, you should understand the severity of your statement. It means you trust him in all things and not in some . You often hear people say "It's the little things that matter." This holds true in so many ways. The truth is God is actually very concerned about you, even to the tiniest detail like: what you wear the food you eat the pimples on your face (yea...go ahead and laugh) to mention but a few. FUNFACT:  If all these little things are ...

LETTER TO ALL GOSPEL ARTISTES

Dear Gospel artiste, There really is no such thing as the  Gospel music industry . Just as there is no Rap music industry, R n B music industry, reggae music industry or Hip hop music industry. We only have " The Entertainment industry " which encapsulates everything. Each genre of music appeals to different kinds of audiences. Stop complaining that you are broke because you do gospel music. ❌ You're broke because you are empty. What are you doing about your branding? What is special about you that your audience will be willing to pay for? How does your mind work? Now, If you think you're broke because you do Gospel music(which is actually a foolish way to think), I think you need some reorientation. You're not going to heaven because you are a gospel act. You're not going to hell if you don't do gospel. You may very well still go to hell even if you sing gospel from now till forever. Just work on your brand, work on yourself, work on you...

THE QUESTION FEW EVER GET TO ASK

Have you ever asked WHY? Now this is not the regular, "i-want-to-know-because-I-am-curious" inspired question which we seem to ask effortlessly these days, not even caring if the answer we get satisfies us or not. This WHY receives its truest answer from your heart. TAKE A MOMENT, sit back and ask yourself: Why am I this pretty? Why do I sing this good? What are my biceps for? Why is my IQ this high? Why am I this convincing?  Why am I the no 1 marketer in my Firm? Why do I have a lot of money? e.t.c  The list goes on forever.  Now:  Think about that quality you have that makes you stand-out, no matter the field where it can be applied.  Think about all the laurels you have amassed in your life time Now again, ask yourself "WHY?"  Are you just alive to balance the ecosystem? ❌ My point? Simple... If your gift has no heavenly value, then it is as good as being without. You were created for a reason, STOP BEING COMFORTABLE ...

MUSIC SERIES : THE MAGIC OF MUSIC

Image
"Music heals the mind, body and soul" "Music has therapeutic capabilities"; these amongst many others are some of the very interesting things people have to say about music. Ever thought of how deep this goes ? Let's take a look at the movie industry, Hollywood for example has very talented music supervisors who put in a lot of effort to make you appreciate a movie better. There are a lot of dynamics and planning that happen backstage in a movie or stage act to leave an imprint through music in the hearts of the viewers. These days, the advertising agencies employ music when promoting brands, and they go as far as using music stars or popular songs and creatively put their product in the centerpiece of the song. You often find yourself singing your way to the store to purchase the product just because the song got to you. My point ? Quite simple, take the time to go through your music library and compare it to the kind of experiences you have in life or to ...

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.  ...

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 ...

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 !!!! N...

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 POL...
