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.

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...

Career Fulfilment

Many of us work an average of eight (8) hours a day five (5) days a week between the age of 18 to 65. The amazing fact about this is that we spend a total of 100,000 hours of our lifetime working. Can you then imagine doing something that doesn’t give you fulfilment? One of the keys to career fulfilment therefore is to enjoy what you're doing. It's burdensome to be doing what you don't like or created to do. It's totally frustrating and time wasting. And that's the reason many people are not productive in their work. When I said productive, I'm not talking about acquiring material possessions because even some that engage doing what they don't enjoy doing have been able to acquire cars, built houses and have the 'toys of life'. Productivity here is mind creativity; a sense of fulfilment, a sense of joy that comes from doing what you are wired or created to do. This is the difference between those working to make a living and those working to make ...
