How to make the most of stress

For a stringed instrument such as a guitar to produce quality sound, the strings have to be tensioned to a certain degree without which the desired result would not be gotten. In physics (which I don’t enjoy so much), friction is a vital part of motion if not we would not enjoy motion as we do today. And in the field of truck pushing if the rubber is not tensioned, it would never hold the luggage in place making things difficult. 

So what’s my point? The tension in the guitar strings, the friction in motion and the tension in the rubber are all related to the stress in our lives. They all achieve a particular objective and the objective of stress is for us to progress. When we emerge from a stressful situation, we emerge stronger and as we know, only the strong survive in life.

It is said, patience is the crown of all virtues. So being patient when trial moments come visiting you is going to see you emerging victorious at the end of that phase. And mind you, being patient is not how long you wait but how good you behave while you wait. A wise man in the person of Ralph W. Emerson said “Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss”. It is my believe that you are a very good leaner and would not miss this learning occasion.

Nothing comes your way which you cannot handle for what happens to a man equals that man. And when you seem to be losing it, call on the infinite source of intelligence, call to God or to Allah or to Buddha or that in which you believe in to be the supreme. Your cry would always be considered for they are always there for you. The essential thing is that you should not give up. Hard times are not here to stay, they are here to pass. And I would like to congratulate you for having survived 100% of your worst days yet, keep on you are doing just fine.

Remember that moment you thought you could not survive yet you survived and yes you can do it again. When great things are coming, everything seems to be going wrong. Old energy is going out for new energy to enter. Be patient
Remember, it is darkest before dawn. And there is Good Friday before Easter.

There's No Overnight Success: The Story of the Mango Tree and Grass

Image
It takes 20 years to become an overnight success The struggle takes place in the farm. The mango tree growing at a slow and steady pace must compete against the wild grass which grows out of nowhere. Both plant species are out there in the wild and must follow the rule of the jungle; Survival of the fittest. Let the stronger specie win the race of life. Years later, the mango tree would be standing strong above the wild grass. It would spread out and bear fruits. Whereas, the grass dies season in and season out. With the farmer’s hatred for grass, he can’t help but smile as they perish. So what does mango tree and grass have to do with your life and success? Your answer in 4 words;  “Sustained success takes time.” The mango tree represents the sustained success. It doesn’t just appear on the stage of life out of nowhere. In the first years, it spreads all of its energy establishing a healthy tap root system, digging deep into the ground. T

3 Types of Friends (Be Careful Who You Share Your Dreams With!)

Image
We all need a good friend! Friends are one of the most important and one of the least understood aspects of our lives. When it comes to happiness, our friends are a major key. Our friends affect and influence us in more ways than we realize, they play a part in determining our sense of self and the direction of our lives. Whether we like it or not, our friends have shaped who we are today. We are products of friends who are no longer our friends. Based on the influence our friends can have on us and on achieving  our goals and objectives in life, it is of primordial importance for us to understand the type of friends we have. Knowledge of our type of friends guides us on how we relate with people, especially when it comes to sharing our life's plans and dreams with them. Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the world’s most revered mastermind shares with us 3 types of friends; Confidants, Constituents and Comrades. 1) Confidants   You have very few confidants. Confidants are th

Self-Control, your way out of misery.

Image
It is better to win control over yourself than to win control over nations. Those are the words of the wise King Solomon in regards to self-control. Self-control is that guiding force which directs our actions towards destructive or constructive aims. Majority of man’s grief comes about through lack of self-control. There is no one today known as “great” who does not have a mastery of self and that is what makes them the bosses and boss ladies. To develop and master the habit of self-control, we have to master our thoughts for self-control is principally a matter of thought-control. We are the products of our very own thoughts. When you decide that goodness and greatness run the production line in your mind, the results manifested in you are goodness and greatness. However, I am afraid to say the same is true with mediocrity and frustration. The beginning of our journey to develop and master the habit of self-control would be marked by the mastery of thre
