FLOWERING AND FRUITING: NOBODY WANTS TO IDENTIFY WITH LOSERS

After blooming 🌹, pollinators 🐝 came. This was followed by fruiting. How tasty the berries 🍓 are could only be testified to by the hummingbirds🐦
The first #beadstyle 💎 I originally 👀 @marcoljewelrycafe🙌👌👍😘. I love😍 it especially the #colorcombo. Couldnt wait to replicate it. The idea for the second style came from a different idea 💡 which I later adapted as a follow up👆for the first style. RATIONALE: when we are in full bloom(successful), see how people(the good, the bad, and the ugly) would be attracted to us; swarming all over us; overwhelming us. This stage seems the sweetest. Everybody wants to identify with you. One may tend to become intoxicated, giddy, conceited and pompous(PRIDE). Loss of focus sets in. At this stage, One needs to be very careful you know! •Success, like politics makes/attracts strange bedfellows •Most importantly, pride leaves no room for Grace. It is a spiritual cancer; it eats up the very possibility of love, contentment or even common sense •#Paparazzi, #companionship and #followership are time/attention consuming. They also encourage ?#frivolities and dangerous #addictions. •#Fame feeds on humility&focus •The loss of #Focus, #objectivity and #steadfastness (your former companions) are not without consequences •Your companions:👀😰yaaayyy! your pace! •And now, pride comes before the fall! Stay humble •And while falling, companions/followers don't follow! •Falling is hard; harder than not rising at all; and to rise again is the hardest! •Lastly, Nobody wants to identify with losers!! •Now, you'd want to go back to God Choose your companions wisely, remain focused and be prayerful.. I want to see you @ the top. Let's remain #gracified😀😕 ... it was fun 😀 replicating & yet standing out... So same👍; yet so different!👌 References •www.QuoteAddicts.com •Zena Shin Talks •LiveLifeHappy.com •C. S.

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
