14 Resolutions To Consider Making For The New Year -Success Guidelines for 2014

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery, you are left with today which is a present you can give your future. -My Path Guide

A new year comes with an opportunity for us to start again. For some of us, the year might have been a little below our expectations but we have another chance for us to rewrite our own history. These are 14 resolutions we should consider making in order for us to reposition ourselves to obtain the best for what the new year has to offer.

1.  Never compare myself to others

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. -Norman Vincent Peale

A grave and costly mistake anyone can ever make is to compare himself/herself to another human being. God created all of us for different purposes. We might look the same, but we are not the same. We all have different tracks set before us to run. Comparing ourselves to others will eventually lead to frustration  because it will only show our inadequacies (Read Putting your self on the Fast Track Part 1).

Comparison brings about jealousy. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should focus more on developing ourselves. We most times confuse imitation and comparison. Imitation is not comparison. Imitation is using the success principles an already successful individual used. There is something successful people do differently that makes them successful and likewise unsuccessful people. You can imitate the habits of an already successful individual while acknowledging your own strengths, weakness and abilities.

2.  Never blame others for my problems

Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you. -Aldous Huxley

Someone might have falsely advised you on an action or you may have followed someone's path which eventually resulted to a problem. The truth remains that you were the one who took the final action. That final decision on that situation was made by you. Someone might have initialized the move but you took the final touch; the final act in creating the problem was carried out by you.

The first important step to any solution is acknowledging the problem. The shorter the time it takes for us to admit that we created the problem either directly or indirectly, the faster we are able to solve the problem. Solving problems,  particularly the ones we created, builds our confidence and gives us courage to solve more problems. 

3.  Never procrastinate

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. -Og Mandino

Procrastination is an enemy of success. It is a virus which eats up the future. Time wasted is gone forever. Nothing you can do can bring back wasted time. The one thing you can still do is to make a decision to never procrastinate again and to be discipline. Discipline is sacrificing good for the best. The opposite of discipline is indulgence which is sacrificing the future for the pleasures of the moment.

Part of the resolution we should consider making is to develop the habit of acting when it matters. I strongly believe in this statement: "where there if life, there is hope" and l also believe you can recover all what you have previously lost due to procrastination. A way to recover is to stop procrastinating. A method of stopping it is for us to always think deeply about the negative impact of not carrying out our actions and asking oneself this question: "Is it worth sacrificing the pleasure of the moment for the future". 

4.  Invest more in myself

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First by reflection,which is the noblest; Second by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. -Confucius

The key to personal improvement is knowledge. The Bible talks about people dying for lack of knowledge. The difference between an employer and an employee is the knowledge possessed by the two individuals. For us to experience any significant growth more than we experienced in the previous year in any area of our life; our finances, promotion at work, relationship with family and society e.t.c, we have to increase our knowledge.

We should make a conscious decision to increase our knowledge. The importance of increasing our knowledge is uncountable; the more you know, the more you earn. One method of increasing our knowledge is by reading educational books. We should develop an habit of reading for at least fifteen minutes per day (15minutes).

5.  Always surround myself with people who add value to me

Guide your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life. -Proverbs

Nothing corrupt good manners than bad company. The kind of people we spend our time with determines the kind of person we will eventually be. A bird if it stays on the ground for so long with chickens will loose its sense of flight.

They best way for us to position ourselves for success in this new year is for us to surround ourselves with people who have already achieved success in our respective field. Habits can easily rub-off. When you spend time with them, you learn their habits and thinking pattern. 

6.  Listen more, talk less

Information is not knowledge. -Albert Einstein

Before talking, we should always ask ourselves these questions:

• Of what importance is what am about to say?
•  How would people react to what am about to say?
• Will what I say question my integrity?

The answer we get should always guard our conversations with people. It's not compulsory for us to talk every time. We learn more when we listen than when we talk. Even when a fool keeps quiet, he/she is thought of as a wise person. We should always seek to understand first, then be understood. By listening effectively during our conversations, we can discover what the person talking to us is actually saying, what's the person's motive behind the conversation, where the person is actually heading to. Those and many more can only be obtained when we listen.

When we listen more during a conversation, we create an impression that we are understanding, caring and that we are sensitive to what the other individual is saying thus making the other individual feel more comfortable talking to us. Listening skill is very essential in families, organizations (for more, Read the 7 habits of highly effective people).

7.  Buy less, save more

If saving money is wrong,I don't want to be right. -William Shatner

The importance of saving cannot be over emphasized. No matter our income, we should develop an habit of saving. It is advised by experts to save 10% of our income as a sacred financial seed. It shouldn't be spent on consumables,  even at our girlfriend's, boyfriend's (husband or wife) gun point (Read 7 Business Facts You Were Not Taught In School).

8.  Forgive more, love more

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is to great a burden to bear. -Martin Luther King, Jr

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Not forgiving holds us back and prevents us from enjoying the present. Holding on to past grudges limits our experience of future happiness and uses up more of our mental resources. Not forgiving ourselves prevents us from maximizing our full potential. When we forgive, we are not helping the person we forgave; we are actually helping ourselves.

Throughout my life in this world, I have discovered that forgiveness is the final form of love. The measurement of how much you love someone is how quick you are able to forgive them. There is no love without forgiveness and there is no forgiveness without love. To forgive is to set a prisoner free only to discover that the prisoner was you (Read Leadership Capacity ( Secrets of Every Successful Leader).

9.  Contribute to our society

All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. -Winston Churchill

A simple act of kindness goes a long way in both the lives of the receiver and the helper. Through simple acts, lives have been changed and destinies discovered. Not all problems in the society will be solved by government. Great men like Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi and the list continues all discovered their destiny by showing little acts of kindness to the society.

Purpose is discovered in contribution. There is a void in the human heart that can only be filled when contributing.  Life's deepest joy is experienced when we contribute and see the impact our contribution makes even if it is only one life. Contribution gives us psychological energy and confidence to carryout our other life duties. 

10.  Have some me time for reflection

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity. -Albert Einstein

We often get carried away by the activities and events happening around us that we fail to check up on the activities occurring at the most important venue to us; our life. Time waits for nobody. Time. is the greatest asset in the world. Improper use of time can result to future sorrow (Read 5 Little Things That Take You The Extra Mile).

Reflection allows to tap into our hidden potential. Creating time for reflection enables us to be able to assess our performance and make necessary corrections where necessary towards a successful. It enables us to tap into one of the greatest creative tool which is our mind.

11. Spend quality time with loved ones

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. -Albert Schweitzer

Our loved ones are important part of our lives. We often get so wrapped up with so much activities that we miss out in one of the most important aspect of our life: our loved ones. We spend so much physical and mental energy trying to complete all the tasks on our ever increasing Todo list which eventually leads to us wearing out. Spending quality time with our loved ones help us renew our energy by enabling us to tap into another form of energy in our body; our emotional energy.

A way of increasing the quality time we spend with our loved ones is by setting priority and scheduling. We can set priorities to separate the urgent from the important therefore attending to the important. Another way of solving this is by fixing a regular time in which we spend with your loved ones.

12. Stay Healthy

Physical fitness is not one of the most important keys to healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. -John F. Kennedy

The greatest source of happiness thus not come from our relationship with other people; it comes from our relationship with ourselves. No one can enjoy the fullness of life without good health. Our health affects our relationships, happiness, career and so on. Without good health, life can loose its meaning. 

Part of maintaining good health is by taking proper diet, exercising and resting. Our health needs might vary for different individuals and lifestyles. The health need for a model might differ from the health need of a sport person. It is better to consult a doctor for more advice on your health. 

13. Pray and meditate and give thanks more

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right. -Abraham Lincoln

Take a deep breath; breathe in and then breathe out. How difficult was that? If you experienced no difficulty in doing that, that is sufficient for you to give thanks to God. If you can read this post, it's sufficient for you to give thanks to God for your sight. The greatest gift is the gift of life. When there is life, there is still an opportunity to a better job, a finer house, beautiful children...God  gave us this gift for free. He only demands one thing from us which is a good relationship with him.

One of the ways in which we can build a better relationship with God is by communing with him through prayer and meditation. We can lodge our requests to God when we pray. God isn't human who gets tired of listening to us or who listens to us without being able to help us. God is able to help us with all his riches and glory. All he wants us to cast all our care upon him because he loves us (Read Experiencing God's hand in your Life).

14. Review my resolution at regular intervals

Everyday is a new beginning take a deep breath and start again. -Anonymous

There is a painful gap between possessing great potential and actually realizing a life of greatness and contribution. That great gap is our consistency. Consistency and time perseveres than talent and passion. Trees rarely fall at the first strike. Most times, you have to sharpen your saw  and then try again. No good thing comes easily; you have to fight for it.

We should always perform a review on our resolution at regular intervals to check our progress. We can make the review monthly, quarterly or at any desired time of your choice. If we fail in one aspect, we shouldn't let it prevent us from carrying on. Famous inventor Thomas Edison who failed thousands of times when inventing the electric bulb but he just saw his failure as another reason why that his method won't work. Winners don't quit and no quitter has ever one at least for now. Finally ending by the words of Ralph Blunt; Nothing is predestined. The obstacles of the past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.

3 Tips On How To Spend Your Christmas Holiday

At last Christmas is here again. For some, we finally get that deserved break from work. So how do we make the best out of this holiday we are being given? These are 3 tips on how to spend your Christmas holiday.      

Spend time with loved ones

Due to work or some other activities, we might not have been privileged to spend time with our loved ones.  Christmas is an opportunity for you to show love to people around you, your family, friends, colleagues; or show love to the society, visit an orphanage home, visit people who suffered from a disaster. Spending the holiday showing love to people is a way we can renew our strength or energy by tapping into our least used energy, the voice of our spirit. It can also be a way we can discover life's purpose. Most of the great people the world have celebrated all found their purpose with a little act of love.

4 Ways To Increase Your Experience of Happiness

In this Yuletide season, a season filled with love and happiness which we are meant to feel and share but in a way there would be something that would stop us from having that desired/deserved happiness, and they are;

1. Stop spending time with the wrong people

Remember this saying; "show me your friends and I'll tell you the kind of person you are". This saying is a true because the kind of things you hear and surround yourself with shapes and direct your life. When you spend time with people who reduce your aspirations and don't add positive value to your life then tell me, how do you want to experience the love and happiness you are meant to experience. Staying with the wrong people will pass the wrong message and omen to you. The wrong people will always think negatively and say uninspiring things even if what they are saying is right to them, but to you it will always feel wrong because they are not the right things you need at that particular moment.

2. Stop running from your problems

True happiness comes from within. If we truly want to feel that happiness from within us, we need to confront any challenges that is preventing us from being happy. People are used to giving a series of plans; plan A, plan B, plan C and the list continues. They thereby neglect the plan A because there is a problem with plan A. I'm I saying having other plans is not good; No. Let's just think this way, if our plan B and C turns out to have the same challenge plan A is having are we going to keep looking for a plan D and E until we are left with no other plan, why not face the problem once and for all rather than cutting corners and running from them. Happiness comes from a sense of fulfillment and achievement . When our problems have been solved and our mission accomplished that is when we feel the joy and happiness from within us (Read 5 Facts About Life You Might Regret Not Admitting Sooner)

3. Stop trying to buy happiness

Frequently, we do hear this; "money is good but it can not buy happiness". This is a blatant truth. We are in a world in which what most people think is purchasing a car, jewelry, house e.t.c for themselves or their loved ones will make them happy. What they fail to understand is that they are only purchasing a limited source of happiness. Trying to purchase happiness is like pouring water into a basket; no amount of water can fill the basket. Similarly, there would still be more things to buy to purchase if you're planning on buying happiness. Denying yourself just to please other people thinking making them love you will make you happy will eventually lead to frustration. By denying yourself of being happy, you prevent yourself from being happy because you keep forcing yourself to be what you are not by pulling up a fake character.

Nothing pays better than being oneself and letting people love us for who you really are. By that we experience true and lasting happiness that will be generated not the one that is bought.

 4. Stop being scared to make a mistake

Withholding ourself from making mistake by being too mistake conscious is we procrastinating our happiness. Am I saying we should make deliberate mistakes or constant mistakes, No. We shouldn't be scared to put out our neck and take a leap. When we make a mistake we shouldn't worry too much about the mistake, because some of the most beautiful things we create in life comes from the changes we make after failure and that is what brings the joy eventually.

Stephen Charnock says " as the image on the seal is stamped upon the wax, so the thoughts of the heart are printed upon the actions". When our actions is based on not making mistakes and being perfect our failure is eminent, but when our actions is based on trials and less worry on mistakes then our happiness and success is guaranteed, because happiness is a thing of the heart.

5 Facts About Life You Might Regret Not Admitting Sooner Than Later

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress. -Anwar Sadat

Life is guided by some timeless principles, facts, which governs all activities done in our world. Ignoring these facts may lead to major regrets in the future for not taking the required steps in the past. These are 5 Facts About Life You Might Regret Not Admitting Sooner Than Later

Fact 1: Power for a change lies in you

Humans are the only creature born with a special gift: a gift of choice. While other species only have the ability to react, we were born with both the power to act and react. The ability to act or react depends on our choice of response. 

We are born with the power to choose between good or bad, the power to choose between prosperity or mediocrity. For most people, they let their subconscious do the choosing for them; they never take actions, they just run on autopilot. Being proactive, thinking while thinking, should be our focus. Thinking about our actions before carrying them out, should be our goal.

The power of change starts with us being proactive. It starts with us taking control of our thoughts by developing good principles to guide our lives. There is no better time for a change.  The best time is right now, today, this hour, this minute.

Fact 2: Your friends influence your decisions more than you think

Creating a Legacy- 5 Characteristics of Great Men

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a great and wonderful world." -The Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali

Deep within each one is an inner longing to live a life of greatness and contribution-to really matter, to really make a difference. The ultimate goal of every individual is to create a legacy.
The world has seen many great men and women pass. People like Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King (Jr), Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein and the list continues. All of them still being celebrated to this current day. We all want our name to be on the list someday. Looking at the life of the people on the list, we find that they all had some characteristics in common. These are 5 Characteristics of Great Men.

1.  Found Their Voice

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lived". -Nelson Mandela

What do you dream about? Is the context of your dream only about you being successful in your field. Creating a legacy results from following your heart and living a life of contribution. It is about discovering your voice, what you stand for. Your voice agrees with your mind, soul, body and your innermost being ; your spirit and then inspiring others to find theirs.

We may doubt our ability to do so, but we have the potential within us. We all do. It is the birthright of our human family (Read 4 Reasons Why Dreams Don't Come To Pass).

2.  Believed In Their Dream.

 "I have learnt that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it...A brave man is he who doesn't feel afraid but he who conquers his fear." -Nelson Mandela

7 Business Facts You Were Not Taught In School

Statistics show that more than 95% of newly start up businesses close before 10 years. Most of the businesses had enthusiastic leaders with exciting ideas, products and services but still couldn't stand the test of time. Why do history keep repeating itself? Statistics also shows that 1 out of every 10 entrepreneur who ventures into business had a business degree from a business school.

After doing some personal research my self, I have found out that the main cause of this high failure rate for entrepreneurs is as a result of some business facts they didn't obtain in school. These are 7 business facts they were not taught in school.

1.  The Heart Of A Business Is Marketing and Sales

The essence or end point goal of a business is to generate revenue. Cash-flow is essential for the sustainability of any business. No matter how incredible the idea which led to the formation of a business and a mind-blowing product or service that caps-off the idea, if sales isn't made, it will all lead to frustration.

Not marketing your business is like blinking in the dark. No one sees your product therefore no sales finally resulting into no revenue. Without revenue, a business can't be sustained and fore-closure.

2.  Perfection Is Not  A Business Word

5 Signs it is time to Quit that Relationship

"I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every minute that passes you have the opportunity to change that." -Gillian Anderson

Relationship is about two people coming together to complement each other for a greater purpose. It shouldn't be about 'I' or 'me'; it should be about more of 'we' and 'us'. Sometimes, you just have to let go of what you're holding to experience something new. These are 5 Signs it is time to Quit that Relationship.

Putting Yourself on the Fast track Part 3 : Niche strategy, how to make an impression

As described in previous edition of this series, life can be described as a race with some tracks faster than the other. Ever wondered that the same thing doesn't happen to everybody? People are not equal; if people were equal, why will there be variation in students grade or in the salary of employees in an organization.  Have you not discovered that they are some people who are specially appreciated in an event.

Developing Niche Strategy

Niche strategy is the capacity of an individual to work on himself that his/her success will be paramount to the success of the organization. For example: how is Barcelona FC without Messi or how is Real Madrid FC without Ronaldo? Both teams look very ordinary I guess. This mean that Messi has built a niche strategy that his success is essential to the success of his team.

Putting your self on the Fast Track Part 1

Life has been given so many definitions by so many philosophers, but one of my favorite is the comparison of life to a race. Life is a race in which everyone runs on tracks. But truthfully speaking, life isn't fair, some tracks are faster than others we have so many variations of people: the rich, the middle class, the poor. How come some people are ahead of others in this race?  How come some people get promoted at work while some don't? Is it that some people are just born lucky? 

Answering these questions can be the secret in unlocking the doors to our breakthrough in life. Success in life is generally 99% hardworking, 1% luck. Lets discuss one of the secret in putting ourselves on the fast track.

Bible Verse: John 2:1-6

5 deadly mistakes you must avoid in a new relationship.

Starting a new relationship causes alot of excitement sometimes resulting in us making mistakes that can affect the future of that relationship. The Euphoria of being in a relationship sometimes take a toll on us, causing us to do things in which we feel okay with without considering the long term effect of our actions. We should avoid...

  
Mistake #1.  Telling our Partner everything about our Past Relationships

Because you just started a new, romantic relationship and you feel secure and confident in this new relationship doesn't mean you have to tell your partner all what have happened in your previous relationships. You might say to yourself " he/she loves me and will accept me for who I am so let me tell him.my past relationships ".  Telling your partner your previous relationships sows seeds of suspicion ans chariness in your partner's heart. The trust your partner used to have reduces due to he now has a standard  to measure your actions.

Your Partner might ask questions about your previous relationships. Tell your partner what he/ she needs to know. Don't get carried away. Keep the naughty aspect to yourself. It's of no use in your new relationship. 

Mistake #2.  Having a Super-hero Expectation

Some people start a  relationship expecting their partner to be their personal super-hero. They expect that any time they call their partners' name, their partner should be with them. For some, that is one of the reasons that made them to start the relationship. They think being in a relationship can fill the emptiness in their heart.

Clear out every expectation at the start of the relationship. If you are a guy and you start dating an expensive lady, let her know if you were born with a silver spoon or plastic spoon. Create ground rules for you and your partner to abide by. Relationship is more about sacrifice. You partner is human and has his/ her flaws. Help your partner develop their weakness. 

Mistake #3.  Sex

Most people shy away from discussions when it comes to sex. It has a lot to do with relationships. Do you think it is right to have sex at the beginning of a new relationship? Think about it for a moment.

There are somethings that are worth the wait of which sex is one. Don't rush into having sex with your partner when the relationship.  You might feel the physical attraction but learn to control yourself. Relationships are for adults and adults should have self control.

Most people think this only affects the lady in the relationship.  I agree, it affects the lady and also the man in the relationship.  You can get the lady pregnant or catch a disease in the process of having sex and what seemed to have started out as love can become hatred.

Mistake #4.  Comparing your Partner with others

Comparing your partner with others will only lead to both you and your partner getting hurt. Your partner is unique in his/ her way. Appreciate their uniqueness.  Quit comparing your partner to your friends partner or your ex. Your partner can never measure up to them; he/ she is unique. Learn to love them the way they are and encourage them. That will bring out the best in him/ her.

Mistake #5.   Not being accountable to someone. 

The purpose of every relationship is to lead to marriage at one point  in the future. Between the point of starting the relationship to the point of marriage and even beyond, they are going to be obstacles. You may be passing through a difficult time in the relationship and your partner might no be available.  Have someone who you know will advise you in the right direction and can help straighten problems between you and your partner. The person should have had reasonable experience in solving problems for example; your parent, pastor, counselor e.t.c.

7 Shortcuts You Will Regret Taking in Life

“It shouldn’t be easy to be amazing.  Then everything would be.  It’s the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth.  When something’s difficult to come by, you’ll do that much more to make sure it’s even harder – or impossible – to lose.”
―Sarah Dessen

There is no shortcut to anywhere worth going.  There is no substitute for doing the work.  Meditate on this every day: “I will do the work.”  As Einstein once said, “Genius is 1% talent and 99% effort.”  You must run to be a runner.  You must write to be a writer.  You must actively attend to your relationships if you want them to flourish.
By all means, find ways to be more efficient.  But make no mistake that it takes diligent effort to build something worthwhile.  There are certainly some success stories out there about people who excelled rather quickly, but you will usually find they had put in years of related work long before anyone was paying attention to their seemingly rapid success.  In other words, their current state of achievement is simply all those years of work coming together flawlessly in the present.
The most effective way to handle what must be done is to do it.  Put in the required labor.  Don’t sell yourself short by taking shortcuts like these:

1.  Taking the easiest route possible.

Experiencing Divine Financial Prosperity

     As a Christian, you are a partaker of Gods' divine nature. Part of his divine nature is financial prosperity. The word of God in Mathew 5:14 says:

"We are the light of the world. A city set upon the hill cannot be hid".

The bible saying we are the light of the world means we are pacesetters; all our endeavors are blessed including our finances.

     Most Christians ask God for other requests , but fail to commit their finances to God. They think God is incapable to transforming their finances. They are wrong. The bible in Daniel 3:19 says:

"And in all matter of wisdom and understanding, the king inquired and found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that where in his realm".

Every Moment Counts

Often time we hear people say things like "they never told me they won't come back", "if I could just say goodbye". The normal saying is you never know the worth of what you have until you loose it.

Having your own business, making it succeed and bringing out the best in it takes a lot of hard work and persistence. It doesn't happen over night; it takes real determination. To be a successful entrepreneur you need to have these qualities.

1.  Market yourself

One ability or quality an entrepreneur must have is the ability to market themselves. Know how to market your skill, what you know how to do best. Don't just sit back, relax and expect your business to grow that way. An entrepreneur must be able to go out to their targeted audience/client and sell themselves. Learn how to network yourselves, your skill and your product.

2.  Serve Your Clients Interest

A good entrepreneur must serve the interest of their client because you are out there to please your client. Make sure they are happy with you and your product. Avoid any conflict with them by being attentive to their various wants and needs. Don't give them part answers or give them any impression that you know it all but make sure you give them an answer to all they want in the best possible way you can.
   

3.  Don't Compromise Result

Prosperous entrepreneurs are architects of reality. They always make sure they get the best result they can possibly get out of anything they do or produce.

To be successful, you don't keep your clients waiting. Set a specific time for them, deliver exactly at the specified time or even few days before to the set time.

How to Make a Difference

Inside us is a burning desire to be great, a desire to be heard, a desire to make a difference, a desire to always be remembered. We have all being placed on Earth for a purpose. We all have a destiny to fulfill. We were made for more and we shouldn't settle for less.

Independent of your field or expertise be it sport, music, business, education e.t.c. God expects you to make a difference in any area you are in. It's not until you have abundant resources or be in a certain social position before you make a difference. Stop giving the excuse that you have to reach certain social height or have abundant resources before contributing. Giving excuses is like wrapping a stone in paper and then expecting it to float. Giving excuses for failing won't make you succeed.  These are ways to make a difference.

 

Be proactive: Don't wait for things to happen; cause them to happen. The only things thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people is for good people to do nothing. When something negative happens around you, what is your response? Do you act to events or just react to them?

Being proactive is about you choosing how to your reaction. Power is developed with action. You might not have the power to end the negative event but there is something you can do that can lead to the solution. Be a force for good anywhere you find yourself. Help people who won't return the favour and you will be surprised to know that you were actually helping yourself.

Little things sum up: Nothing starts great. Every great thing big started small. It is the little things if done consistently that amounts great. The challenge is that most times, we keep waiting for big projects, top jobs to come our way and miss out on the small thing which could have amounted to be great. Start making a difference with the little things you do. Be faithful with it, stay on the course with it and you will be surprise the difference you will make.

Excellence is of importance when carrying out your activities. People are attracted to excellence. Don't do things shabbily because you think it is little and insignificant. It is the little things turn great great things.

Be a problem solver: People who make the difference are problem solvers. They see a problem, they think of a solution and they solve the problem.  You can't make a difference without solving a problem. Start by solving the problems in your community. Add value to people around you. Don't shy away from problems; the are stepping stones for you.The greatest regret in life is not failing; it is failing to try.

Be connected to your maker: There will always be somethings you won't understand. You can't do it all by yourself. You must be connected to God your maker. Ask God in prayer and seek him through studying his word for the purpose of your life. If you diligently ask him, he will reveal your purpose to you. After he reveals it to you, stay focused on the course . The road will not be easy but God will not abandon you.

Keeping a Lasting Relationship

The norm in any relationship is that beauty can't sustain a relationship but your character and understanding sure do. Ever wondered why some of your relationship don't last? You have tried the outward beauty but d relationship keeps hitting d rocks and you are tired of it. Why not try looking into your inner beauty; your character and see what will happen. We keep blaming the other person in the relationship for the problem we encounter. Have you carefully evaluated that? Or you are just covering up your flaws. These are some relationship killers you must avoid.

 Nagging

Saying the same thing over and over again will get you no where. You might be thinking that if you do, they will listen and probably hear you out. That is a wrong assumption most people make in relationships. it only springs up anger and bitterness in the other person. If you want their attention why not take d easy approach when they are calm and happy or in a good mood and see how much progress you will make.

 Curiosity and Suspicion

Getting too curious and suspicious in a relationship breaks the bond you claim you share. People don't like it when u go all detective on them in any relationship. When you suspect anything, ask nicely. If the  answer you get is an indirect answer, don't push further or go spying on them. Nobody gets comfortable when someone spies on them. It breaks the trust in the relationship. Don't let your curiosity get the best of your relationship. Try to overlook some minor somethings in your relationship. Making your partner know in a soft tone that something is bothering you in the relationship during your play time won't hurt also.

Past  Hurt and Wrong Doings

Keep away from words like; "I still remember the last time", "that's what you did the other day". These words breaks  trust u r trying to build. It will only opens up wounds that are not good for a healthy relationship. In such situation anything the other partner does will never be good enough. They start feeling insufficient and insecure. Try letting go of the past and never bring them up even if u still remember keep them to yourself. Once you say you have forgiven, forget every memory of the person hurting you. I know it isn't easy but it will be worth it in the long while.  Doing so,you are saving and building your relationship with trust. Make every effort to trust again.

 Lack of understanding

Sustaining a relationship requires a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication from both parties but the most important thing is understanding. Seek first to understand, then be understood. Things don't just happen, they happen with a reason. If you can invest time in understanding the person you are in relationship with, it will save you from lots of argument later. When you understand, you get to have a picture of how your partner responds to situation. When an event occurs,you tend to say "its you" or " that's who you are". When u have such understanding about each other, the bond between you and your partner start growing.

6 Reasons Your Relationship is Suffering

 “Every relationship needs an argument every now and then.  Just to prove that it is strong enough to survive.  Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.”

                                                                              ―Nicholas Sparks

At some point we all get involved in a serious relationship, be it falling in love with a significant other, or simply establishing an amazingly close friendship.  As soon as this relationship is in place, both parties must do their part to nurture it.   When they fail to do so, solidarity is gradually replaced with suffering.

Overcoming Despair

Lately, I have been complaining about most things around me. Where I work, where I live, my relationship, not being able to buy what I like. I didn't care about the things around me. Not appreciating the beauty of life. I was in a state of despair.

I was told that one of my distant colleague was sick and I was to accompany a group of people to visit her. On getting there, the place was a slum. I couldn't even imagine myself staying there. The houses can't be compared to where I stay. But to my surprise,  I saw something that baffled me. Even though those people were facing worse things than me, in fact it is incomparable, they were still showing love to each other. I saw happiness in them; they were smiling, having fun with each other, being thankful for their existence.

Lack of hunger

Bible Verse: 1 Peter 2 vs 2

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby."

Another crack in the wall that hinders Gods' blessing in our life is our lack of hunger. For us to experience his supernatural blessing in our-lives we have to be hungry for his blessing. The bible in the above verse talks about us desiring his word which in other words mean we must be hungry for him.

What kills our hunger? 

 When other things occupy your mind. When you are filled with other things you can't hunger for God. For example, people spend most of their time chasing their career, relationship, dreams e.t.c. that they forget about God. Most of them don't know that their effort cannot do it alone. The forget that they have a God who is mighty and able to save.

Hunger is something you have to do for yourself. Most people say they can't pray for an hour . It is because they haven't experienced a problem that is above them and that the only solution for them is for them to reach-out to their maker in prayer. The intolerance of your present creates your future. You will not grow until there is hunger. The reason most people don't go to church is due to their  lack hunger.

Over-exposure. Our over-exposure can also kill our hunger. Some of us think we know already that we take Gods' word for granted. We feel we already know too much. We must rekindle our interest by praying more and spending more time in studying the word of God which is the bible.

Ways to be hungry

Conscious decision. We need to consciously decide to work in Gods' principles. It's a conscious decision that we have to put in our mind and continuously remind ourselves of.

People. We must surround ourselves with people who continuously increases our faith in God. People who can encourage us when we are weak. The people we spend much of our time with plays a big role in our lives. They are a major factor in our life. We should surround ourselves with people that can positively influence our lives.

5 Ways to Stop Feeling Insecure in Your Relationships

When I was younger I often felt inadequate and “not good enough” to be friends, lovers, or business partners with certain people.  Sometimes I simply couldn’t understand what others saw in me.  I was very insecure.

I ended many promising relationships because of my insecurity.  In my mind, it felt easier for me to end it before they did.  Walking away rather than risking the heartbreak of rejection was how I justified my behavior to myself.  But after awhile, as I grew emotionally, I began to realize that I wanted and needed the comfort and support of long-term relationships.

So what did I do, and what can you do if insecurity is damaging your relationships?

You need to understand that a good relationship is about sharing ideas and enjoyable moments with another, to help each other grow in healthy ways, both together socially and as individuals.  If someone really does treat you poorly or lies and cheats you out of something, feeling insecure is a natural and reasonable response.  However, if you’re actually in a generally good relationship with someone, then it’s time to…

6 Ways to Speak Well to Your Loved Ones

    Every heart sings a song, incomplete,
    until another heart whispers back.
    ―Plato

At a time in history when we are communicating more rapidly than ever – via texts, tweets and email volleys, one after the next – it seems there is hardly anyone among us who couldn’t use some tips to facilitate more heartfelt communication for our in-person interactions with the people we care about most.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

1.  Tell them how important they are, often.

Here’s a wake-up call for you:  No matter how sure you are of someone’s love, it’s always nice to be reminded of it.

Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious phenomenon in the world, and it should be expressed as such.  When you truly love someone, be loving in words and deeds every single day.  Don’t beat around the bush.  Be straightforward.

If you appreciate someone today, tell them.  If you adore someone today, show them.  Hearts are often confused and broken by thoughtful words left unspoken and loving deeds left undone.  There might not be a tomorrow.  Today is the day to express your love and admiration.

2.  Communicate your feelings openly.

Your parents may have told you that it’s not what you say but how you say it that counts.  This can be true in a professional setting, but when it comes to your closest relationships open, honest transparency is imperative.

Express how you truly feel.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  Give the important people in your life the information they need, rather than expecting them to know the unknowable.  Express your fears, tears, doubts and insecurities – let your loved ones experience YOU.  Have the courage to be yourself in front of them.

Relationships flourish when both people are able to share their innermost feelings and thoughts about themselves and each other.  To be fully seen by someone, in raw form, and be adored anyhow, is what love is. 

3.  Speak the truth.

As a wise man once said, “I tell the truth because it’s the easiest thing to remember.”  Living through a facade puts an incredible burden on your emotional well-being.  Speaking the truth, even and most often when it hurts, frees mental space and increases your ability to connect with the people you care about.  Keep in mind that a large part of such openness requires taking personal responsibility for your wrong doings.  If you know, for instance, that your actions or words have hurt a loved one, you must immediately admit your faults and face reality.

If you live for the truth now, you will find comfort and peace in the end.  If you live for comfort and peace now by avoiding the truth, you will get neither comfort nor peace nor truth, only wishful thinking to begin, and lasting regret in the end.

4.  Ask thoughtful questions and listen intently.

Too often we underestimate the power of a thoughtful question and a listening ear that’s fully present and focused.  Although it’s a simple act, it may very well be the most powerful act of caring – one which has the potential to turn a life around.

And once you inquire, be sure you listen to understand, not to reply and hear yourself talk.  Oftentimes a reply isn’t even necessary.  Listening is a sincere attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another that both attracts and heals, perhaps without ever saying a word.  (Read The Mastery of Love.)

5.  Let your actions speak for themselves.

Actions often speak much louder than words.  When you love someone you have to act accordingly.  They will be able to tell how you feel about them simply by the way you treat them over the long-term.

You can say sorry a thousand times, or say “I love you” as much as you want, but if you’re not going to prove that the things you say are true, they aren’t.  If you can’t show it, your words are not sincere.

And remember, it’s not so much about how much you do for your loved ones as it is about the love you put into what you do for them.  Learn what matters most to them and make a habit of it.

6.  Touch.

Touch has a lasting memory. Sometimes reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a beautiful journey.  Sometimes a long hug speaks louder than all the words in the world.  Sometimes your lips can’t accurately articulate what you mean without using them to kiss.  And sometimes, quite frankly, a moment of touching is the difference between hopeless despair and the ability to carry on.

Physical touch can make or break a relationship and can communicate respect or ridicule.  Some of us require touch more than others, but some physical interaction – be it a hug, a handshake, a pat on the back, or otherwise – is important in your closest relationships.  (Read The 5 Love Languages.)

Final Thoughts

Lots of irritation and heartache can be avoided just by being more aware of what your loved ones value in communication.  I encourage you to set aside an hour to discuss this article with someone you love.  It may be eye-opening to gain more clarity about the way they like to be loved.

Your turn…
