New Year Resolutions - Did You Make Any?

Every year at about this time, a lot of people set on paper what they intend to drop and what they intend to pick up in the new year.

I remember years ago, when I was still trying to understand life and the process of living, I never really was into new year resolutions because for me then, it was easier written than done. 

What I mean is that it was easy to write down all the things in the world that I was doing "wrong" and would love to drop and the ones that I actually would love to take on; but no sooner the resolutions were made than they were broken.

I considered it then as an exercise in futility.

But when I turned 18 so many years ago, I came to realize that it was not the paper on which the resolutions were written that actually made it difficult for me to keep, but my mindset. I realized that I was the one sabotaging my own efforts at being a "better" person and so I told myself that I needed to 'alter my mindset" and I did that.

For over 50 years since then, no year has passed by without my resolutions being written out on paper and without me going all out to ensure that I keep to them.

And as the years have gone by, my resolutions have continued to drop in number, no longer about things to drop, guess all the habits are set now; but more on what to give and how to give it.

That's it

And so, how about you?

Do you make resolutions?

Have you found it worth the while?

or do you think it is an exercise in futility?

Share your opinion with me

And have a wonderful day

It's The 1st Of January 2017

It is the 1st of January 2017, the beginning of a brand new month, the FIRST month in this dispensation. It is another God given opportunity for us to make a go at life and living; to erase the bad memories of the past month and concentrate on moving forward.

Interesting things would happen in this month but the most interesting is that you shall witness it all and be alive to tell the tale.

In this month, God shall re-write your history, and you shall have every reason to rejoice.

In the place of stones in the mouth, He would give you meat

In the place of rock, He would give you bread

In the place of bitterness, He would give you honey

In the place of barrenness, He would give you children

In the place of mourning, He would give you joy

In the place of lack, He would supply all your NEEDS

In the place of joblessness, He would lift your head up

When your detractors confound you, He would raise a Banner of protection

When they come against you in seven ways, He shall scatter them in a hundred ways

He would provide the Strong Tower into which you shall run in and be Almightily protected

He shall not allow you be put to shame

He would uphold you by the Power of His Mighty Right Hand

And any tongue that shall rise up in judgement against you, He shall deal with

He is God, He is your Father, He loves you so much, He would bear you in His Palms and nobody can prize you away from Him.

That is my prayer for you this 1st day of this new month of January 2017, by the 31st of January, we shall take stock.

It is also my prayer for myself

Happy new month

Do have a great month

Today

Bless and be Blessed

Happy New Year

It is that time and period when we rejoice that God has done it again for us.

In allowing us to not only see the last day of the outgone year, but also in bringing us into the new year, He has done what no man can ever do.

And because it is of His own mercy that we are in, then He would definitely guard and guide us with His Mighty Right Hand that nothing shall by any means harm us.

But there is one thing, we must never take God for granted for he who does that would surely remain grounded

And in 2016, if you really want to fly, then keep God where He ought to live, right inside your heart occupying your very soul and mind.

If you allow Him to take you by hand, then my friend, you shall not only achieve all you set out to achieve in this very year of 2016 but you would also arrive your destination safely.

Happy New Year my friends

May this year bring you closer to all that you want which have given you a source for concern for so long.

And that's my prayer for myself too

Let God Reign

2016 - Fifteen Things That I Am Thankful For

1.      First and foremost, I am thankful to God for LIFE

Of course I am very much aware that my life is in God's Mighty Hands and that no one no matter how highly placed can prize me away from Him.

3 times in the outgoing year, He saved me from near death accidents, without even a scratch on my body but a dent on the car.

I am also aware that some persons who want to be god have since desired that I be taken out of this world, because 2 times in the outgoing year, I was spiritually attacked which manifested in the physical; but my answer has always been that no man is God, He alone controls the affairs of His children and nothing happens to any of us by chance, if He allows it, then it will happen but if it is not my time to go, no man can make me go

2.      I am thankful for my FAMILY

Who gave me support through thick and thin and were always concerned on how I have braved it all.

My Lady who also is my Queen stood beside me all through the year, not raising a voice of complain but quietly raising our morale

My first son Jerry - the Second who has continued to make me proud of him in breaking every record I held at his age

3.      I am thankful for my SISTER - Lolo Eudy-Ken Wuche #AngelKenneth

Who has stood by me despite and inspite of all

4.      I am thankful for my FRIENDS, FANS, FOLLOWERS and WELL WISHERS

Especially those who have actively engaged with me on my facebook timeline, liking my posts, making quality comments, correcting and building.

I recognize them all and appreciate

Those who by their visits to my blogs, by their comments and corrections have helped me to earn some bucks there-from

My appreciation

6.      I am thankful for my MENTEES

The over 300 men and women (including boys and girls) who allowed me to invest in their time in order to point them to the path of Online Business.

I actually wanted to do that for 100 persons but the response was quite overwhelming and I ended up taking on 300 persons

I am happy that quite  a number of them are treading the path that the Saints before them had trod

7.      I am thankful for my WORKSHOP ATTENDEES

Those who actually invested in us by paying for the services we rendered in the course of the Workshops and Seminars of 2015

Those in Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Onitsha, Enugu, Asaba, Port Harcourt, Kano, Kaduna, Zaria, Abuja, Lagos

I appreciate

9.      I am thankful for the Major DIRECT SALES BUSINESS that I ventured into in the later part of the year 2016 - PHYTOSCIENCE and also thankful that these persons listened to me and joined me in the Business - Eudy Ken-Wuche (Port Harcourt), DrNmaOlebara (Owerri), Barr Moore Obasi (Owerri), Don Mgbeahurike (Umuahia), John Iwu (Umuahia), Chima Ugwo (Aba),  Ngozi Ananaba (Aba), Helen Raymond (Onitsha), Sanny Ogenyi (Makurdi), Helen Samuel (Makurdi) and all those that have also joined the #PhytoscienceBusiness through them.

13.    I am thankful for my MBA Class Mates #PatienceAhmed, #BolaObembe, #AjibolaOtegbeye, #MathewWazara who have kept us still going strong

14.    I am thankful for #MichaelDuru, #MichaelOkoro, #OlalekanMuktar, #MosesGodson, #ExcellentOhios, the group of young men who have decided to raise the banner of #TopitupMedCom higher than hitherto had been the case and have assisted in bringing to fruition, our long held goal of creating a writing platform - #PowerfulBrainsPlatform

And finally

15.    I am thankful for one Student of my youth #EbereChimezie who took me down memory lane in one phone call that has become like the icing on the 2016 cake for me

In 2017, let's do some more, let's raise the banner higher and take the note an octave higher!!!!

Let God Reign Supreme

2017 Is Around The Corner - Are You Ready To Take It By Storm??

Wow! It happened so fast, 2016 is about to come to an end.

I see people running around to get, holiday gifts, making holiday plans and that's when it hit me... another year is about to come to an end.

How did 12 months just fly by?!!

Another year over and now it's time to get ready for 2017 and it's not just about making resolutions.

I'm not a big fan of resolutions.

I prefer making real changes, lifestyle changes, health changes, financial changes, family changes, relationship changes and all kinds of changes.

I usually write out what I want to change, improve or achieve. I give everything some real thought and that means getting really specific so that I set goals that I can measure.

By setting a goal you can actually measure you can see if you're making any progress, how far away you are from reaching your goal and what you can do to achieve that goal.

For example: if your goal is to get a new job in 2017 then you can easily measure if you achieve this goal. You either get the job or you don't. You can do certain things to help you achieve your goal of getting a job.

It's pretty simple and the best time to begin setting those goals for next year is right now.

I know you may be busy with the holiday season however, right now is the best time.

You can easily look back and see what goals you did and didn't achieve.

You can simply think about it and then decide what you want to achieve for next year.

Maybe there's a goal you didn't achieve last year that you really want to achieve, so make it a goal for 2017.

Maybe there are some new goals you want to achieve.

Write them down and aim to succeed in 2017.

Once you have your goals, write them down.
And then think about them.

Think about what you can do to achieve them.

Think about how important they are to you and by that I mean think about how achieving a goal will change your life.

When you have a life changing goal you want to achieve you have a goal that motivates you to succeed.

Let's face it, if achieving the goal isn't going to improve your life,  you're not going to want to pursue it.

Most goals are life changing.

However, most people simply don't think about how achieving a goal will change their lives and so they lose their motivation.

They think about all the little things that need to get done, like going to the gym or getting a savings plan together, or taking an extra course
or changing certain habits.

They end up losing sight of the real reason they want to succeed.

So keep your reason for achieving your goal at the forefront of your mind. It will help you stay motivated and stay focused.

When you're motivated and focused you're more likely to succeed and achieve your goal.

However, when you try to stay motivated and focused you might get derailed by a series of negative thoughts.

If you've tried to achieve a goal in the past and haven't succeeded then you're going to get a lot of negative thoughts that will convince
you to give up, not do anything or force you to get distracted. In the end you don't achieve the goal and don't even come close.

It's just the way the mind works. And it gives you the negative feedback because those negative thoughts are planted on your subconscious mind.

Now you need to change them.

So think about the goals you want to achieve. Think about how achieving that goal will improve your life.

When the negative thoughts come up, remove them and replace them.

Now let's make 2017 your best year ever.
Let's make 2017 the year you achieve your goals.

In 2017 you succeed and make those changes.

Step 1: Decide what you want to achieve
Step 2: Make sure your goals are measurable
Step 3: Focus on how succeeding will change your life
Step 4: Get rid of the negative thoughts and negative beliefs
Step 5: Reprogram your subconscious mind to help you succeed

I give you step-by-step instructions to make sure you achieve your goals and live the kind of life you want.

I walk you through the process and give you complete support to make sure you achieve your goals and enjoy the kind of success you desire.

As these negative thoughts leave your mind, you would be able to achieve the goals you have set for yourself

Let's make 2017 your best year ever.
Decide what you want to achieve in 2017 and then let's work together to achieve it/them

Wishing you tremendous success...

Happy Boxing Day

 

 

 

It is the first day after Christmas popularly called "Boxing Day".

When we were young, we used to think that Boxing Day literally meant a day to exchange fisticuffs and infact our ignorance was not helped by the fact that most popular boxing tournaments were fixed on that day - 26th December.

However as we grew up and got more exposure, we came to realize that fighting in the boxing ring had nothing to do with the name given to the first day after Christmas - Boxing Day.

Boxing day actually means a day set aside after the festivities of eating and wining in honour of the birth of the Saviour of the World, to exchange gifts.

 

Such exchange of gifts is between families and compounds and not necessarily between family members as they would have done theirs either on the Christmas eve or early Christmas morning.

So today, go out there and give your gifts to your neighbours and friends. It is true that "the gift of a man maketh way for him before Kings" however, it is also true that "the best gift anyone can give is that given to someone who is not able to give them back"

Have a very wonderful day today

Happy Boxing Day
