The Choice Is Yours (Tips For Choosing Rightly )

"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of CHOICE. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved." ...(William Jennings Bryan).

At a point in my life, I was faced with 2choices: to continue building others or to start building myself. I had worked tirelessly building others dreams and formulating ideas to further these dreams for peanuts(in cash and kind).

So should I continue and remain the same (unfulfilled, lost, meaningless etc), or I should face my own dream with nothing.

I was afraid: where would I go; how do I start.. (Stripped already of self-esteem, already becoming unuseful, difficult and a pain in others ). At this point, I started derailing; committing sins&losing connections with my creator. At a point, I lost feelings. I couldn't feel (both joy and sadness).

The fact that I allowed others to be my judge&decision maker, I did some things that nearly did me in. But the #word that broke the camel's back was, "you're always coming up with useless #ideas." (This is to put the last  nail on that coffin that I had lost it all). Well, I just kept quiet and didnt say anything.

Once, another said, "you are becoming a nuisance." The sound "nuisance" did the #decision making 4me.

I am not where I want to be yet but today is better; tomorrow is bright&God liveth.I'm #Aquarius: I have flaws. Can't help some things but I'm working hard on myself. And now, I'm for God!

If I want to make a decision now, I just keep quiet and take my time (my time). The scary and gracious thing is that He talks to me: in my work; in my life etc

 #TIPS FOR CHOOSING RIGHTLY
Hence, my first tip is: keep quiet.. listen.. God will talk to you.
•Look into your future, how do you want it to be
•Think:what do you want for yourself
•What's the objective of your toiling day&night
•Then, what's your purpose in life?
Channel your decisions towards these.

These additional tips are from www.positivelypresent.com
•Listen to your instinct
•Weigh the pros&cons
•Get outside input
•Don't let fear decide
•Do what's best for you
•Trust in yourself, follow your heart.
•Don't ever look back 

Today I choose to live by #choice, not by #chance.
To make #changes not excuses.
To be motivated not manipulated.
To be useful, not used.
To excel not compete.
I choose self-esteem not self-pity.
I choose to listen to inner voice not the random opinion of others.

We May Love The Lord...!

Some, I realized, usually tend to draw emotional supports/understandings whence they didn't make any such deposits. The "Them-them." They are used to asking, expecting, collecting, taking, usurping, claiming, etc., at all times. Giving, helping, sharing, comforting, compassion etc are all alien to them. They go, "give me this, help me that, shift for me, help me send, make me those, I need them things, ...." They are used to getting their ways no matter what. Who remembers this above picture collage from my blog post  My Dear Greens...!  . My makeup artist @dafnick said its her best shot till date. I can't agree more! And some, on the other hand, are so generously inclined.... they keep dishing out emotional credits/giveaways without any hope or expectations of getting the returns/merits/credits. One of the what-can-we-do-thing about these other party is that they practically don't know how to ask/beg/request/claim or encumber others. They

YOUR SEASON

Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. Wait on God's perfect timing and trust Him for the outcome... -( lifecoachcharlie.com  ) At a time in my life, I was sacked at my place of work, a multinational company at Eleyele, Ibadan. This was as a result of the carnal relationship between my ex-wife and the commercial manager of the company. I had a beautiful wedding in the year 1995 with this wife of mine and we were living happily. The company had a policy: the whole family (nuclear) of each worker had access to free medical services at the company's clinic. That was how my wife found her way into our office and started a relationship with our commercial manager. Then, one day, problems were detected with one of our accounts in Kano State. So we had to go there and verify. Getting back from Kano, I discovered my wife's infidelity. Then I was told by our union leader that my name was on the retrenchment list. He also told me the commerc

The Rules Of Engagement | Recognizing And Overcoming Adversities In Business

I wanted to change the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. I was insisting we had to have only the best people... If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence... -( Jack Welch).  The first time I set my eyes on www.seundsbeads.com  online, I went... "Kai, I can do better." That-local-kind of ego! You know! Do the bead; snap it; upload it... Finish! Thousands of likers&followers appear; clientele explodes; overwhelming cash flow begins. Have I considered the nature& the ever changing rules of this particular engagement, the hassles;  the hurdles and personal negativities?  No! That's the mindset. That's the attitude. Today, I understand better. Nowadays, people goes, "yaay! your work is different; your illustrations are out of this world. Please tell me how to achieve this feat." Guess I should allow my back and my eyes to do the answering. First thing is that I don't go out at all. If I do, it definitely has to
