My Muse

            My Muse

Could feel her heart beat like a drum, her breath, as electrifying as the thought of an increase in one's personal income. 

The thought of you in my head produces headlong harmony, which ravishes the  mind  as lyrics from a musical feast.

The sound that fiddles through your lips consoles my burning heart, and like the noise of many waters to a barren land, it heals and speaks life to my soul, causing my very existence to leap  for joy. 

And each time you walk into the room, I suddenly become as a groom, with excitement bright enough to cause a boom.

Your sweet-smelling fragrance fills the air, and like pheromones, my attention lays bare.

We sway here and there, ringing multiple tones as we play.

We Cha Cha, we Rumba, we Tango, and we Jive, dancing in the rain till our greatest fear is arraigned.

Together we make a piece of art mastered by the creator himself, with our portrait hung upon shelves. 

They call it Love, I say it is music to my ear.

Who you are + What you are = Why you are




It is no doubt that success is about becoming the best version of yourself. The more you dwell on this personality and align it with your purpose, the more it brings-out the essence of your existence. And the more people you help on your path to finding fulfilment, the more you meet at the place of your fulfilment.



Finding and giving purpose is the linch pin of a driving society. And it is upon this reality that a whole new community is built per time.

For there is no greater discovery as that which is yet to be discovered.


If we would keep discovering and in-turn offer as much as we discover, our world would be a better place.


The question I often ask myself is, what have you found so far, and how much have you given...? Remember, "the meaning of life is to find your gift, and the purpose of life is to give it away."~Pablo Picasso


It's been a great day so far, has it not?

You're not the saviour of the world



Sometimes ago, I was engaged in a chat with an old friend and he stunned me with one of his responses. He simply said, "you're not the saviour". 
I couldn't help but reflect on those words, as it had me floored.

Apparently, over a life time it only takes a few moments to be a hero, very few ones that truly matters. Moments when you're offered a choice to make sacrifices, either to transform the world with insightful innovations, save a friend, or spare(FORGIVE) an enemy.

More often than not, if taken seriously, these moments would come-out to change our lives for good. 

Therefore, a message to ME:

Embrace your true potentials.,
Unlock your hidden self.,
Find purpose and run with it., 
Live life., and 
Affect the community of people you've been called out for.

Indeed, your story is for the people to benefit from. *Get writing...*

Consider this a push

*Consider This A Push*
______________________________________

I like 'thinkers' -they make me think- and I applaud their ability to plot. However, i celebrate doers even much more better, as they inspire me to 'act'.
It is said that plodders and not plotters make things happen. 

To the Bible scholars, God would neither say 'well-planned', 'well-thought', 'well-said, nor would He say 'well-strategize' good-and-faithful servant. Instead, the only commendation remains, 'well-done' good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:23). That's to say, God recognises 'workdone'.

While setting goals and generating strategies is important, implementing such is of greater importance -more reason people readily celebrate the 'forefronters' and not the 'rareguards'.
 
Although we've all suffered from the pain of defeat and the agony of setbacks, the hardest part of finishing yet remains to start.
Consider going after your dream just as riding a bicycle, you've got to get a little momentum to really get going. At every obstacle encountered, you've got to regenerate the needed momentum to keep going until you finally arrive at the finish line.
Just like the bicycle, life is no different, you've got to find your push and "just do it" (Nike).

Consider this as one of those *push* necessary to assist in your generating as much momentum as needed to getting to your finish point.

As I close, find time to answer the following questions genuinely:

1. What do i need to start?
2. What am i waiting for? and
3. Where am i standing on the path to executing my God given idea?

Hope

I had been reunited with an old friend with whom I shared quality time catching up on old times.
Our discussion covered almost every ground and as we chatted on-and-on, i could see peace in her eyes in spite  of her dreams not being fulfilled yet. She was overly confident and hopeful. I'd say that's 'something'.

Well, it's easier to feel hopeful on a beautiful day, but there will be dark days too -days when you feel terrified and without a way out. However, then is when you need hope the most.

I see a new Nigeria, a nation with great institution made out of sheer values and strength. A platform set on togetherness,  ushering in a coordinated society embracing equality.

From me to you, Happy Independence Day.
Stay hopeful, Be hopeful.

Yours,

Indulgence


Life is like a coin, you can spend it on anything you want but you can only spend it once. We all want different things and everything, but there is more to our taste than meet the eye.

You are a sum total of your environment. ‘Man=Gene+Environment’,

In biology, the morphological and physiological character of a man is determined by his gene influenced by the reason of his environment.
You are a sum total of your environment. That is, 'Man=Gene+Environment', and a product of: what you have learnt; and the contributions made by the people -mentors, teachers, friends, advisors, family, and religious leaders- given permission to influence your life.

What you are + Why you are = Who you are.

When you dwell on your personality and align it with your purpose, it brings-out the essence of your existence, which is in relation to your worth.
However, a man’s worth is a function of his work defined by his purpose and fueled by his passion.
There is no greater thing than to function in one’s place of purpose, doing things effortlessly with a primary source of motivation, passion.
The best you there is, is the you that is yet to be discovered, the energy yet to be untapped, and the reward yet to be obtained.

My advice, life is not as difficult as perceived by many, if we would only indulge in self discovery and personal development. Only then can the ‘dream-you’ come to birth.

Love life, embrace your true self.
