RELATIONSHIP; Be Careful

RELATIONSHIP; Be Careful. By Oguntolu Oluwafemi.

Meeting a new friend is like getting a beautifully wrapped gift. One is usually tempted to think that they are better than the friends we had. We spend a lot of time exploring them. We are so excited about our new obsession that our old friends slip from our hands. Even when we see them slipping out of our hands,we don't care cos we are blinded by our new adventure. We flirt with our new gift and lose sight of our proven and tested relationships. Due to the deceit of the wrapper,we realize after spending so much time and emotional strength on our newly found obsession, that they are not as good as our time tested relationships. We then begin to look for our neglected gifts. Unfortunately, they usually ain't where we lost them.
As much as a person should not hesitate to withdraw from a relationship that is no more valid,one should be careful of diving into a new one carelessly. Be careful how you treat your time tested relationships. David said concerning Saul's armour "I have not tried it". He stuck to his old stuff and they didn't fail him.

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...

Monday Morning Motivation ; Attitude is Everything

Monday Morning Motivation (M-Cube) Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Attitude is simply a mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Simply put, it's the way we act due to the mental picture and belief system formed within us. This makes attitude a product of the mind; thoughts. It is how you see the things around you, how you deal with the situations you face, and what you think about life. You've got to listen to yourself. If you sound like "God, my life is so difficult. I will never be rich... Everything works against me.... Everyone hates me...” then, you have a problem. Many times what hinders us from progressing in life and being the best is a negative attitude. A negative attitude is like a flat tyre, if you don't change it you're going nowhere. Even though we can't control the obstacles on our ways, we can control our attitude. If you maintain a positive attitude no m...
