MAN’S GREATEST ASSET.

Sometimes I wonder what is the greatest of man’s strength and ability? It’s not in the affluence you build over time.
Nor is it in the glamour of social jamboree, 
It’s not a function of how old you are,
nor even as close to or equivalent to the family you belong.
Maybe you might not know It’s a tool,  or Let me call it a great weapon you have being endowed with to fight through your stay on our beloved planet earth.
It’s being with you since inception and will be with you till you are no more.
The great weapon great men in history fought with,
An asset No Bill gates could ever buy with money.
It’s just priceless,
It’s the only determining factor of where you are coming from, and the best determinant of what tomorrow holds for you.
One thing about this my close companion is that it has got no time limitations,  No age restrictions,  nor even a stop at It’s boundaries.
It cuts across every action you embark on, or whatever things you do.
Right from what you are doing now,
Down to what you are putting on,
Up to Where you are headed to right now,
And what you will do when you get back,
It’s got no strata differences nor level types.
As it affects the well celebrated of all celebrities,  So it affects the least of the farmers or herdsman on the face of the earth.
It’s one thing you have to just do and participate in, whether you are a student or a civil servant.
One thing about this tool you and I have is,
It can rewrite your destiny and destination, depending on How you use it, relate with it and treat it.
It’s No other thing,  not lesser or greater than your ★CHOICE….★
May be you should Stop a second and think about it twice, what if. I… what if I Don’t…
That little moment of pondering on your determined choice could be a Savior between life or death between wealth or poverty, success or failure,glory or disgrace between or shame and the list continues.
What is your choice my friends. The year is ticking what choices are you making?
It’s your life,  live it the way you think It’s best.
But remember,  you are a direct replica of whatever choice you make. YOU ARE YOUR CHOICE AND THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
**MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TODAY.***

GOD bless you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD AVOID IN YEAR 2015.

  It is obvious that time waits for no man. Year 2015 is young but going and growing old. Each year has its own peculiarities, its good times and bad times,the ups and the downs. I had already made up my mind that this year will be a great year but will the year be great on its own? What am I to avoid this year in other to have a great year?

1. Procrastination
    Charles Dickens once said “Procrastination is the thief of
time, collar him”.  Benjamin Franklin said. “You may delay, but time will
not.  “

    The greatest asset of Man,its not money or material possessions but time. Start today what you have lined up to do,start somehow, break it down and don’t place too much pressure on yourself. Take the action today. Its what you do that adds value to life not what you want to do and is still left undone.

2.  Lack of Vision
              Hellen Keller the first deaf, blind woman to earn a bachelor of arts degree made this statement that “The most pathetic person in the world is some one who has sight but no vision” Not all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key to your future. The Bible says that, “without a vision (dream), a people perish.”
“You need a dream, if you’re going to succeed in anything you do”. Mark Gorman.

A Vision is a life-a better life. It is a picture of the future. So have a vision for 2015 and get busy with it. What do you want to achieve in 2015 make it your vision.

3.  Pessimism
  “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill
“A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties”.Harry Truman

When you are pessimistic you make your opportunities impossible and your situations hopeless. So have faith,don’t let go and  it will turn right. Have hope and help will be on the way.
4. Ingratitude.
“ seesth thou a man that isn’t GRATEFUL? He is a GREAT FOOL”
Pastor Erukeoghene Taunu PET
“ You can’t be passionate about gratitude and be crippled by ingratitude. Bamigboye Olurotimi
Gratitude is a great attitude. Be grateful for everything both for the good and the bad,both to God and man.

5. Impatience and Pride
  “ Impatience can cause wise people to do foolish things.”
Janette Oke
“There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. ‘Good pride’ represents our dignity and self-respect. ‘Bad pride’ is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.”
John C. Maxwell.
There is a great gain in patience like in Yoruba language its said “SURULERE”. The good book talks of an attitude which goes before a fall and it is pride.

7. Complacency and indecision
Complacency is a feeling of contented self-satisfaction, especially when unaware of upcoming trouble. It is also an instance of self-satisfaction. “Indecision and delays are the parents of failure” George Canning
“Indecision is a virus that can run through an army and destroy its will to win or even to survive”. Wendell Mayes.
“The tragedy of life is often not in our
failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.”
Benjamin E. Mays.
“Success breeds complacency.
Complacency breeds failure. Only the
paranoid survive.” Andy Grove

8.  Offence
“Let go of offence. Let go of fear. Let go of revenge. Don’t live angry, let go now”Joel Osteen
“When you carry offences in your heart it is a barrier to fulfilling destiny in a grand style” Rev Areogun
Don’t carry hatred and anger from actions of people through the year,it won’t help. Let go and let peace into your heart.
 
9. Sin
     “ Seven Deadly Sins Wealth without work,Pleasure without conscience, Science without humanity,Knowledge without character,Politics without principle,Commerce without morality,Worship without sacrifice” Mahatma Gandhi
“Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the
contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth”–Randy Alcorn
Sin is not to be ignored, nor minimised. It is the most patent fact in life, the darkest experience in the history of the race. It is the root of all the world’s tragedies. It is that which makes “conscience a thousand swords,” “the torture of an inward hell,” “the worm that doth begnaw the
soul.” –James M. Campbell
“For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.”John 3:16-17(Amp).
       In 2015 it shall be well.
