Not been here in a while, been having some bouts of emotional offside (mind not my choice of words!) 

Leaving you with this: 

You’re God’s POS*, hope you serve your customers right!” 

That’s taken(ing)* me several months to fully digest, hope it does you same J 

*POS: Point Of Sale

* Taken(ing): substitute en with ing

My orange NEXT bag

Now i don’t really remember what aspect of the English Language Grammar deals with the proper arrangement of words, like when you want to define a bag that belongs to you, it’s branded Next, it’s orange in colour bla bla bla, ok, now you get my drift!

I wonder how many people have ever been at a loss on what to buy for who! this usually happens when you embark on a journey, now it doesn’t really matter where but you sha stepped into a plane and landed somewhere whether 15mins, 6 hrs, 24hrs or even days after! I think it’s an African or Nigerian mentality where everyone expects to get sthg upon ur return. Who cares what ur mission for travel was?? (more…)

Today Matters

A friend shared this piece with me:

I Woke up this morning…. lying in bed, I asked myself ‘what are some of the secrets of success in life?’ I found the answers right there, in my very room. The fan said: be cool. The roof said: aim high. The window said: see the world. The clock said: every minute is precious. The mirror said: reflect before you act. The calendar said: be updated. The door said: push hard for your goals! 

I’m reading a book at the moment, Today Matters by John C. Maxwell. Therein, he shared the concept of what he calls ‘Daily Dozen’.These are his 12 critical areas for success:

  • Attitude: choose and display the right attitudes daily
  • Priorities: determine and act on important priorities daily
  • Health: Know and follow healthy guidelines daily
  • Family: Communicate with and care for my family daily
  • Thinking: Practice and develop good thinking daily
  • Commitment: Make and keep proper commitments daily
  • Finances: make and properly manage money daily
  • Faith: Deepen and live out my faith daily
  • Relationships: Initiate and invest in solid relationships daily
  • Generosity: Plan for and model generosity daily
  • Values: Embrace and practice good values daily
  • Growth: seek and experience improvements daily

Something common to each of these areas is the daily requirement, a little dose of each on a daily basis will surely guarantee success. Each critical area has been dealt with on a chapter by chapter basis with applications and self discovery exercises to propel action.

I may be back sharing what I’ve learnt, I may not! Till then, have a great week and Happy Easter!
