*HOW THE MIND CREATES THROUGH THOUGHTS ATTRACTION* The mind is like a boat,when it's weighed down with baggage of fear, it begins to sink down and unable to move further. So the first thing to throw out of the mind's boat for a successful voyage is fear,doubt and worry. When your thought is filled with fears and worry,you are unable to achieve much and this really is  the cause of much unhappiness and many failures. Negative race-thought makes fear an habit of the mind. It comes subtly like a friendly thought feigning to console us,sometimes in the form of self pity, dejection and rejection and as we entertain it ,it gradually cripple our will and mind power but from which we may free ourselves by individual effort and perseverance. http://ogreatness.com.ng/how-the-mind-creates-through-thoughts-attraction/

*THE LAW OF MENTAL CONTROL.* Your thoughts are either faithful servants or tyrannical masters - just as you allow them to be. You have the say about it; take your choice. They will either go about your work under direction of the firm will, doing it the best they know how, not only in your waking hours, but when you are asleep - some of our best mental work being performed for us when our conscious mentality is at rest, as is evidenced by the fact that when the morning comes we find troublesome problems have been worked out for us during the night, after we had dismissed them from our minds - apparently; or they will ride all over us and make us their slaves if we are foolish enough to allow them to do so. More than half the people of the world are slaves of every vagrant thought which may see fit to torment them. http://ogreatness.com.ng/the-law-of-mental-control/

The situation is not intended to destroy you, it's just the proper process that is required to beautify you. If you are running away from it, then you are developing something inside that will soon display ugliness. It's a self consciousness that needs to be realised on time.

You should come to that point when everyone is giving up and you are  not going to give up.

You  Can do better if only you put to work what you have.

Don't be too busy in laziness that you forget your old age. The future is  not far from now, it's now. You're responsible for what you will become in the nearest sunrise . Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa said "I rather ride a bicycle as a young man  and drive a Mercedes as an old man, than drive a Mercedes as a young man and ride on a bicycle as an old man. " Very true ! often times most young people with amazing talents,rather than pursuing their passion and dream, spend their strength and time on what is not worth dwelling on, indulging in activities such as  watching TV, playing games, spending time on idle social media activities ,When they are a lot of future building  activities such as reading good books, adventuring on new ideas, learning new things,goals setting and pursuit .  Someone once said "anyone who wakes up successful has not been asleep. You have to work and watch out for the future you want to see. You are the best you aspire to be and you ...

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! " (Matthew 28:6a) Rejoice! He is risen! Happy Resurrection Day, everyone! The empty tomb gives hope to empty lives. Jesus gave His life to give us eternal life and abundant life. God is not dead; He is alive! " I AM the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! " ~Jesus (Revelation 1:18) Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the Living God, I AM, not "I was". " God will credit righteousness--for us who believe in Him Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification ." (Romans 4:24b-25) Resurrection Day (Easter) is not about a new dress; it's about new birth! " Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. " (1 Peter 1:3) " Outside of the cross of Jesus Chr...

I offer seven principles—truths that, in our work at Southwestern Consulting, we’ve gleaned from successful people around the world. Self-disciplined ultra performers are distinct in the ways they think and evaluate choices. They use a different set of criteria than most people when they make decisions, and it is their decision making process—not sheer iron will—that enables them to choose a path that is different from most. They often choose to “Take the Stairs” while the rest of us stand around looking for an escalator. These principles of self-discipline worked for them, they worked for me, and they will work for you. 1. Sacrifice: The Paradox Principle Do the difficult things now, and things will be easier in the long-term. To begin to develop the habit of self-discipline, we would all be wise to adopt a buffalo mentality. Let me explain. I grew up in central Colorado. With the Rocky Mountains in the west, and the great Kansas plains in the east, we are one of the ...

The Secret to Self-Discipline Today’s work environment has been dubbed everything from the Age of Distraction and the Age of Inattention to The Multitasking Generation. The bottom line is this: regardless of your job title, we are all trying to accomplish increasingly more with increasingly less resources—whether those resources are money, time, focus, or energy. How can we achieve success—however you define it— given these constraints? I study successful people for a living, and I believe the answer can be boiled down to one word: self-discipline. It’s not a breakthrough idea, and it’s certainly not popular. It’s an old-school way of thinking that has unfortunately fallen out of vogue, but and one that can yield measurable results when applied to the challenges of working in modern business. Self-discipline can take many forms: the discipline to tackle problems head-on, to manage and protect your schedule, or to stop avoiding the major projects by filling your time with easier tasks...

EPISODE  IV SHOWING LOVE AND CARE It works like this in your personal life as well. Lets say,for example, that there is a special woman you have been dating. You have always picked her up for your date on  time, you have always called her,when you said you would, you have shown her great care and attention, and you'av helped her when she's asked for your help. In other word you have  good credit in that trust account. So if you have to cancel a date or two because there's an urgent matter that's come up at work, what do you think her response will be? She'd  be fine with it,because of all of those deposit you've made. Now lets alter the scenario:say that you've established a pattern  of missing dates, or you haven't called her when you promised you would, and you've  forgotten a few important occasions,then just know you've made far too many withdrawals. Now one-day you called her up and tell her you need to cancel    the next few dates,you'v...
