Compliments of the season 2 : Be the best (Dedication – Adedigba Adewale)

Wow,Christmas was yesterday.It came and its gone to come back again like it always does.Simply put it came to pass (reminds of biblical times) just as our worries,fears and anxiety will come and go if only we are willing to be inspired and motivated to let go of them.

For the dedication of this week,I have my sure dude wale. Believe me, this dude has been through a lot,interesting enough is that he was the cause of his predicament.The good news is that, he is back to himself,his good old self without DEBT.If there was any lesson I learnt from him is to cut my coat according to my size, am talking about a guy who has say N5000 and spends N8000.There is only one way to achieve that – BORROW. It’s good to have him back debtless and I can only hope he keeps it that way.

These subsequent weeks  we ought to be the best, why we settle for less still baffles me.I remember my friend wale when we were in college, he will set goals, high goals at that, only to settle for less.We can if we think we can,times without number it has been said yet we still fall short of the expectations of our goals.
This month the following quotable quotes stood out

1. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.       Martin Luther King, Jr.

Note : if some of us can maim or even kill others disrespecting our believe/religion then some of  us can die for that same believe/religion and those of us willing to let go of our lives which we so much cherish are the ones who are fit to live.

2. They can because they think they can.  Virgil

Note : How much emphasis need be made before we get this right? Whatever it is that you want to do or you are doing, give it  thoughts of possibility,come to think of it,if you don’t think it is possible how do you intend to progress with what you are doing? Oh, let me guess – luck. Please,I deal with certainty.I leave nothing to chance.Everything is orchestrated.

3. You must be the change you wish to see in the world.  Mahatma Gandhi

Note: I believe  we don’t pay much attention to the changes we need to make in ourselves instead we pay attention to the changes we want to see in our environment and the world at large.If you want your environment to be cleaner,stop littering it with the waste of things you take and complaining that those suppose to clean the environment are not doing their job.If not for you their job will be beautification not cleaning.

Well, another piece for us all.Remember to always put in good effort and pursue ur goals/dreams because  You will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue.
Mike Murdock

This time of the year  is a volatile one, people loose their lives easily,don’t be ignorant of the devices of the enemy so put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil - Eph 6:11.
THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER THE RIGHTHEOUS RUNNETH INTO IT AND HE IS SAFE.

Season Greetings (Be the stronger man)

Honestly, it has been an interesting week, Where do I start from? First I went to an eatery – Mr. Biggs, and while I was eating, a fly flew into my drink.Yes you heard me right.If I had had most of the drink I wouldn’t bother but it was the opposite. So there I was looking at the fly  swimming in my drink after it died i took the bottle of drink to the server and had it replaced. 

Second, I got a mail from google complaining of congestion. I was surprised, i mean its google we are talking about here, they had it coming anyway.

Lastly, saw this dude who lost his life over what am yet to know.

Life goes on regardless, so lets live to the fullest
