Having a thick skin

  What you need is a thick skin" It has been 6 months since I officially got into the speaking or media world and I have realised that one of the biggest shields that is needed to grow and excell in the field is a thick skin.        Barely two weeks when i first came, i was dead shocked with the way work went for me, i even fell sick and I was just waiting for the first month of probation to end so i could quit and say "I tried for one month"😂😂. I spoke with a senior colleague and she said something that has accompanied me till date and will accompany me till I get to the Zenith of my career.   She said " all you need to develop and grow is a thick skin, put your mind and heart on your target and you'll get there." She shared some of her early experiences and I fed from her lessons.            It's is six months now and I'm grateful to share with you What I gathered from my amazing senior col...

Building your Nest

      On my way to work this morning, my eyes caught a glimpse of a bird with a tiny straw of grass it in its beak. Looking a few metres towards the bird's direction was a tree with so many nests hanging on several branches. Meaning the bird was busy building nests.        If you've ever watched a bird build a nest, you must accept with me that it is fascinating. Since its the first time that such a scene spoke to me, I did a quick search on Google to know how long it takes a bird to build a nest. The 2 to 3 articles I saw said it takes 2 days to 2 weeks to build a full nest.         However, What baffles me is not only the time it takes, but the devotion, commitment and intentionality of the bird. This thought me some quick lessons about life, my career and business. Now, look at this, to build a nest, the bird does the following 👇👇 1. The bird has a strong reason for building a nest ; to ra...

My Brother Hurts My Indian Friend

 My thought today: My Brother hurts my Indian friend.       While in a conversation with my brother yesterday, i told him that my Indian friend gave me a gift(incense sticks), my brother said "Glory be careful not to start worshipping those their funny Indian gods".      Fortunately or unfortunately for us, my Indian friend who is also our neighbour over heard the conversation and was terribly hurt.  He then asked me 3 questions that break my heart. He asked 1. "In your religion, do you believe in Jesus?" i said "yes, we do". "We believe in Jesus too", he confirmed. He then asked  2. "Do you know the greatest commandment that Jesus gave man"? I said "yes, it is that of LOVE, love of God and Love of man." Then i couldn't answer his final question, he asked 3. "We believe in that commandment too, Why then does your brother think we worship funny gods? Why does he reduce God to your religion?        Like i said earlier,...

Stop Drifting

 Stop drifting today and live your life to the fullest.     Drifting is a human habit of relinquishing control of the mind to another. A drifter is one who does little or no thinking for themselves.  Have you been drifting through life?  Do you always have people doing all the thinking for you? Is it so hard for you to know and articulate what you want in life? I got bad news for you.  You will hardly be trully fulfilled, no matter how comfortable you think you are.  I also have good news for you.  With definiteness of purpose and desire, You can begin to use your mind to attract the results you want.  SUGGESTIONS  1. Learn and master the power of using your own mind to do your own thinking because " whatever the  mind can conceive and believe,  the mind can achieve ". Yes, that's how powerful your mind is.  PRAYER Oh Divine Providence,  i ask not for more riches, but more wisdom with which to make wiser use of t...

WHY WE ARE STILL FIGHTING

  WHY WE ARE STILL FIGHTING          Everything that exists does so for a specific purpose.  Everything that was created was created for a purpose . Everyone that is on the earth was created for a definite purpose.        You might need a reminder of what purpose means, it means the reason for creation. That is quite easy to understand i guess.          Just as the parts of the human body were made for different reasons,  human beings as a whole were born for specific purposes.  Everyone was created for a distinct purpose and living in accordance with this specific purpose will bring about ultimate personal fulfilment, sustainable growth and global peace.          Now here is why humanity keeps suffering from unrest and wars - we have not made out time to find the true reason for our being here. Have you found yours? - instead of working towards making our lives better, we ...

Do you love yourself? Do you love your family? Do you love your work and your colleagues? Do you love your friends? How DEEP is your love?  ðŸ‘‰ Self-love Did you know that you are a complete representation of God, your creator? He made you out of love and saved you from sin out of love.
