Let me ask you this, why do people complain ?   This article originally appeared on AfroHustler   People complain as a defense mechanism to validate why things aren’t going right in their life. People complain as a form of therapy. Truth is, a lot of people complain because they are hurt, confused, frustrated or scared. They can’t reason effectively with the reality of the circumstance or see an opportunity in adversity. Whining and complaining is now a lifestyle for most of us. We complain just about anything and everything. in our music, our arts, our writing, our daily conversations (maybe in our food as spices) and right now I am complaining about people complaining all the time. We complain because of the frustration, pain, and confusion we are in thanks to “society”. We are full of potential to be the best because we are blessed with the curse of hardships. Olusegun Obasanjo says “ for strength in life, we need a bit of adversity” and we have enough adv...

Dear lil ones, It is kick off time for another schooling and educative experience. Some of you are pumped up and others are turned down, all for various reasons. I shared those feelings when I was like you and I would like to tell you this, your ambitions don’t give a damn about your feelings. It is what it is you just have to do what you have to do. This is the beginning of yet another phase and it is going shape your future depending on how you approach it. We all want the same thing, we all just want to be successful, and we all want to be at the top of our game. There is good news, to be successful or to be great is just as simple as blinking your eyes, all you need to is MAKE A DECISION TO BE SUCCSFUL . Make a decision you are going to be successful this year with your academics, make a decision you are going to excel beyond this time around. Success is not a destination, but it is a journey, it is a process . I must tell, it is not easy and that’s why many people ...

Everyday in life, from the moment when we are born to the moment when we cease living or existing, we do encounter various setbacks. Everyone does, there is no exception to that. Failure, temporal defeat and challenges are an integral part of our lives which either make or break us. But few people know know that every form of adversity or failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage. No wonder they say "the tougher the battle, the bigger the victory." that is so because as large as you see your adversity to be, within it lies a seed of advantage with potential of being as bigger as the adversity or even bigger depending what you make of it. It is said, the strong one is not the one who does not fall down,  but the strong one is the one who stands up after falling down. If you don't fall down, it is most probable you are already down. We all obey the law of gravity. Had it been people were void of the ignorance and had a deeper understanding of failure t...

If you think it is possible, then it is. If you think it is impossible, then it is impossible. Most of what we see and believe to be possible today, were seen to be impossible yesterday. So what you see to be impossible today, Would be possible tomorrow. NOTHING IS I POSSIBLE WITH TIME. Posted via Blogaway

Why do some people pray so fervently and don't get the answers to their prayers and others make a simple prayer and get even more than they asked for? For the church goers who jump and leap from one church to another, I ask what is your motive? Before going to church A, that was because you believed prayers were answered there but then, you drifted to church B and you would soon exhaust all possible options. You can receive the answer to your prayers wherever you are, it all depends on you, it all depends on your faith. It depends on you expecting and receiving what you hope(pray) for, which is the absence of all possible forms of negative thoughts in relation to what to aspire having. Claim what you hope for, for you are master of your self and Captain of your soul Posted via Blogaway
