OWN YOUR MORNING AND ELEVATE YOUR LIFE

Image
The warmth of the soft velvet duvet and the cool harmattan breeze kept Sarah glued to her bed, it was a typical Monday morning in the quiet city of Jos. The time was 4.50am. The sudden jolt at the main door and noises on her window was quite deafening. “What is going on; who needs my attention at this hour of the day. Don’t they have work to do?” these were the many questions in her mind that morning. The knock on the door was louder, the noise from the windows with young men and women calling her name “SARAH !!! SARAH!!! SARAH!!!” All of a sudden, she opened the door, the influx of unknown men and women flooded her little apartment. There was insufficient space for them so some sat in the kitchen, some on the balcony, some in the bathroom and some in her bedroom. It was a confusing morning. Her heart raced with the number of unknown visitors thronging her privacy- She tried to quiet them but their noise in the apartment grew louder. Time was racing she needed to

WHY DOES A TYPICAL LOTTERY WINNER END UP BROKE WITHIN 3 YEARS AFTER EARNING HIS OR HER MILLIONS? Wealth in financial terms is a CONCEPT that has to be grasped. They lost such money because they did not understand the concept of wealth. True to many of the responses I received Wealth is not the same thing as money. Wealth is not measured by this size of income, financial wealth is measured in TIME. If I stop working today and all I have to my name in savings is N100,000 and my living expenses is at N1,000 a day then my financial wealth is equals 100 days. Wealth is measured by the richness of your life experience today plus the number of days into the future that you have the capacity to continue living at that level of experience. As you work today, develop a wealth building mind set. Don’t eat your tomorrow today. Create a vehicle that can sustain you in days to come. Loads of Learning on Finance 101 I hope you got a thing or two from my status today.

Sarah an enterprising woman and her small business catered majorly for the home, John worked as a contract staff with a Microfinance bank. After their 5 th wedding anniversary thanksgiving John suggested to Sarah “sweetheart we need to take a step of faith I suggest we purchase the lands we have been saving to buy in the name of our unborn children” They agreed and named the children by faith. Sarah had mixed feelings about the idea, it sounded great but she had a little unrest about it. Three names were agreed upon.

What does TOXIC even mean? “Toxic: capable of causing serious harm to a person's health and wellbeing. ...

Toxic relationships can be caused by two polar opposite personality types.” - PsychologyToday.com Being toxic is a RESPONSE to a misunderstood life experience. You see, EVERYBODY can be toxic.

ROOM 305

Image
ROOM 305 I watched with amazement as the girls kept coming to the hotel one after the other   and each time they asked to see a guest in Room 305. He had laid out the appointments such that there was never a clash. Each young lady felt special to be identified with the guest in Room 305 leaving the room with smiles obviously with loads of cash to flaunt. I put on my investigative google and lay in wait quietly to know the runs of room 305. I never got to see who was logged in that room all through my stay. The girls were young and naive within ages 18-22 it was obvious they were students with good spoken English which gave them away. I waited in the reception on that fateful day and beckoned on the young lady waiting for the receptionist to guide her to room 305. Young lady I asked what’s your mission here she was obviously wandering what was my business in her matter. My heart was troubled I knew something was not right, I tried to make friends with her and gave

THE 7.30PM FLIGHT

Image
THE 7.30PM FLIGHT I was at a conference that ended on a Friday, the excitement of new prospects and friends made me to loose track of time. Lo and behold it was 6.45pm, my luggage I had to pick from my hotel before heading to the airport.  My guide was by my side to show me the way, the venue of the event was unfamiliar terrain.  He was a gentle young man, ever soft spoken and kind he had the full itinerary for my entire stay.  I was overly distracted with exchange of cards I didn’t know where and when my guide had passed. I got other guides to show me the way but they all had their own arrays to display How confused I got as the time was short, ‘who will show me the way’ I cried within A new friend promised to take me but she got carried away waiting along the way to make her hair; ‘don’t worry’ she quipped ‘you still have some Time, the airport is just some miles away’. A keke man came and promised to help but it was obvious he had no idea where

CELEBRATING MY BABY BROTHER

Image
The first race of life at conception you won, the run was fierce, yet you were not worn . . Your mum rejoiced at the announcement of your coming. 9 months is just a time for your forming . . Behold the day came and you were born, On that Thursday the 8th day in October of 1981 . . The Doctors quipped, the nurses wondered oh how frail he looks, and muttered if you will make the week. Today you are a victor you made the week and weeks after till this very week! . . I remember when I had to feed you to stop crying and back you when your feet were not strong to walk. Dad and Mum always knew you will pull through, despite what medical reports put them through. You have grown to a fine man today and I celebrate with you my brother.  I have always loved you to pieces and will always do.  I pray for you to fulfill Gods purpose for sending you to the world. May you see Gods hand in all your endeavor, may your home be a haven of peace and harm
