PEARL #82: THINK ABOUT IT…..

When all is said and done, does it really matter how many “likes” we get on Facebook, or how many “shares” we get on our posts, or how many comments our threads attracted? What does it matter, if she didn’t comment when we tagged her, or he didn’t comment after all the times you commented on his posts? Is Facebook and all other forms of social media really the litmus test for real authentic human relationships, or have we just diluted our desire for more, that we settle for likes, and shares, and comments and the occasional “lol” with no expectations of phone calls and I love you?

Think about it, does Facebook chatter and activity really determine your worth? So why are you worried about the lack of it…? Food for thought.

BE STILL AND DREAM

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE

As the year comes to an end, and people wonder where the year went to,

don’t get caught up in the mindless musings, wondering where the time went.

You know exactly where the time went, you know exactly what you were doing,

what you were saying, what you were thinking. You know. We all know.

The year might not have been the most productive for some,

for others, this was the most productive year of their life.

For some people, too many deaths in the family, disappointments,

too many dreams deferred, hearts broken. For some people, they

found true love, got engaged, and finally got pregnant. In some cases,

another failed fertility process.

No matter what side of the spectrum you find yourself today,

don’t let tomorrow set on broken dreams, sad feelings and no vision.

Don’t let the year-end without a game plan. Make a wish, anything,

dare to think that what you desire might actually come true. Dream

PEARL #81: PLAN YOUR LIFE

DEAR DIARY, IT’S NOVEMBER 1ST 2014

“FAILING TO PREPARE IS PREPARING TO FAIL…”

I used to hear this from Dr Dawkins Derrol, senior Pastor and Pediatrician, Birmingham AL. At the time I was just a student in nursing school, working as a Medical Assistant in his Pediatric practice. I wondered, what did that mean? It wasn’t a stretch of the imagination really, it was simple. Dr Dawkins simply meant, you ought to plan what you want to do, and plan how you will execute it.

For me today, I see that so relevant in everything I do. I have seen how things turn out when I plan, and the outcome when I don’t plan. Now, not everything in life can be written down to the last detail, some things are best spontaneous. However, when it comes to important stuff, like the trajectory of your life, a plan better be in place.

The first day of November, 2014, makes me realize, I have exactly 2 months till the end of this year. So, I am taking stock of what my life has been so far, is there something I can wrap up? Next, start planning for next year. When the new year starts, I should already have an idea what I want my life to look like. Deciding to plan in January, is preparing to be a day late. I want January to start with me already running.

Today I spent time in Barnes & Noble bookstore, looking around for inspiration. The first book I saw walking in is one I have been wanting to read, The Alchemist, wow. Then I looked for the book one of my Coaches and Mentors said I should get, The Ten Day MBA, my eyes fell on Joel Osteen’s book, but I couldn’t possibly get all these in one day. The adrenaline though started to fill my blood, I wanted to remain in the bookstore.

I got a couple of journals, my The Alchemist, pens and paper. Tonight, I will plan the rest of my year and the beginning of a new one.

What about you? What are you planning for next week, next month, next year? Need paper, pen? Then get it, start thinking, all the best to you and me, may our dreams come true.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

ARE YOU A MISTAKE?

The intricacies of the workings of the human body are a marvel to behold.

In my little space in my thoughts, I see in my mind’s eye all the beauty

and complexity of the world my eyes captured all day. It dawns on me, these

are not mistakes, these are carefully created organisms, perfect human beings

in their imperfection. It is clear to me, that God does not make mistakes. So while

we wallow in doubt, self-pity, fear and terror, shouldn’t we wonder, if the Creator

makes everything on purpose, and no one is a mistake, why will He start with me?

This human being who was made out of intention will intentionally desire and create

the world meant for them. Today

How often do you think about why you exist? Too complicated a thought or too simplistic a view? Truth is, whether we think about it consciously or unconsciously, we are in one way or another striving to make sense of our existence. It is hard to experience total peace until we feel a sense of oneness and purpose, familiarity with our core. For everyone, that peace and sense of center is different, no two are the same.

Find your core, the inner essence from which our greatest strength comes, and then use it to fuel this great journey called life.

YOUNG HEARTS ARE BEAUTIFUL, ENCOURAGE THEM

It was a great honor for me when Pauline’s Publications Africa, Beauty Within Magazine, invited me to write an article for their publication, a short article of myself which can inspire young girls to aspire for their dreams. I humbly accepted to write a few words, for encouraging and motivating people is at the core of what I do. Young girls especially are my heart, and I am grateful for this collaboration.

The spirit and the heart of a young girl is very precious and should be nurtured, encouraged and protected by all means from the negative spirit-breaking rhetoric in the world. Our children matter, our girls one day give birth to the next generation, they hold the future and must be cherished.

Beauty Within Magazine aims at fostering the proper empowerment of our young ones, God our Father in Heaven looks after the little ones, we in our own way, should spread the message of love and concern for them

Young girls pay attention to my heart message for you. You are worthy, you are loved, you are enough as you are, you deserve the best from life. God loves you dearly so love yourself totally!
