PAINFUL LESSONS LEARNT THE HARD WAY

Do what you have been assigned to do when you have been assigned to do it, how you have been assigned to do it. It's pretty simple, saves you the reality of unwanted consequences.

Never hesitate to go the extra mile. IT DOESN'T HURT. You really never have to wait to be called so that you work, JUST DO WHAT YOUR HANDS FIND DOABLE.

Work like the Boss. Treat what you are to do like it's your very own business. One day you will run your very own business and probably have people work under you. Ask yourself, 'How do I want my employees to work for me?' Aha. Then think through it and do the necessary.

Never work for appreciation. Work because of Passion. Let the Passion be what drives you, and not the money or reward at the end. Passion gives inward satisfaction, a reward that you can get if only your goal for the money is not the main one.

Love what you do. If you don't, chances are the results may not prove otherwise; Ana even if they do, the feeling of satisfaction isn't bound to last long.

Last but not least, in summary.....

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Eccl. 9:10

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Col. 3:23-24

Take time to evaluate yourself, purpose to re position yourself for greatness. This won't come easy.

You will probably need time out to check your flaws and correct them; and please when you recognize them, don't choose to play the blame game. Take responsibility for your actions and start a fresh on a clean slate. It isn't too late.

Determine to do things right for once in your life, as I said not for the reward but all to the glory of God.

Maya Angelou said it well, "Nothing will work unless you do."

Quick one to leave you thinking;

What if you were to be evaluated with God on a one on one basis, would He be proud of your work so far? Would He be pleased? Would you be proud to present yourself before God in confidence and say, Yes, I did my best, I did what I ought to and this is what I have to bring?

Think about it...

"Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work."-Gustave Flaubert.

27:8 'THE SOUL LEVEL'

Photo Credits: @KilographyKe at Qontent Studios One thing ‘independence’ teaches you, is how you never want to be alone. I shared this sentiments with a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, after my move out of home. It was supposed to be an exciting period for me, but incidences and circumstances can take a tremendous turn sometimes. Your introspection somewhat feels like an emergency surgery from discovery of ‘internal bleeding.’ That’s how I’ve felt for a while, like I was to be worked on or else I’d lose my mind or eventually myself. And so I wrote to a dear friend who out of the usual did something for me that to date remains priceless. Something that reminded me, why I call a countable few, my friends. It wasn’t almost 10 minutes later, that she rang me. I couldn’t respond because I was held up in a meeting. So when I got home, with a smile managing to form on my face knowing it took a lot of courage to face the day, she called me back. Frankly speaking, I had

MANY QUESTIONS & ONE ANSWER

I’m a few years into what is known as the critical decade of life. On some days, this journey is a smooth sail, you kick back, relax and you enjoy the blessings that come with being “young and free”. I admit though that clarity on life seems far-fetched on some days and you pay a hefty price for being “young and foolish”. For days on end, I have wondered what God’s will is; for my life and particularly in scenarios that seem to suck the life out of me. In distress, I question “What is your will in all this confusion Lord?” It is hard to comprehend God Himself, which affirms His word that echoes that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Ask me how I got this far in my life, and I’ll probably be quick to let you know “By the way, I too do not know, it must have been and still is by grace, which is sufficient.” Sometimes I wish I knew what next; but eventually when I get to know, I go ahead to inquire the purpose behind the current circum

TOO MUCH

Why is it so easy to say I’m fine? Hardly do you ever think about it, Effortlessly, it slides from between your lips. Especially, When all that lies around you is witness to the total opposite. Seasons really never last forever, There are those when the party just won’t stop Then others when silence invades, the kind like pin drop. A silence to kill or a silence to heal, A silence that kills, echoes various unheard voices, Screaming piercingly on the inside... The result... is a temporary brain freeze. Silence that heals fabricates unheard melodies, Calm, gentle that are soothing to the soul. I then wonder and it dawns... this is just too much Or is it? Do I fear too much? Do I care too much? Do I worry too much? Do I question too much? Do I think too much? Do I foresee too much? Do I trust so much? And if I do, will I hurt, just a little too much? Do I wonder too much? Do I give too much? Do I expect too much? Have I loved too muc
