STOP WORRYING

Positivity is here again,Motivation is here again and Inspiration is here again, all centered around quoteable quotes that apply to our daily lives. Worry is a common word, infact it’s so common some of us think worrying over a situation is going to make it better, but am so sure that we know better now.

Formally, Worry means to be anxious about something unpleasant that may have happened or may happen. Looking at this closely, you can clearly see that worrying over what has happened or may happen is not going to change the situation, instead you end up throwing the body and the state of the mind into uneasiness, tension and ill-health (Do you ever wonder how or why people have hypertension?).

For those us who don’t know – you don’t cry over spilled milk(If it wasn’t so the Jews would have complained about the 6 million Jews that were killed by the Nazis and they would have been compensated) and you should not be anxious of tomorrow for you know not what it brings(If the woman from single and married knew what tomorrow brings she would not have boarded the ill-fated plane that took her life)

Youth service comes up next month, some of us are so anxious of where we will be posted, we decided to dictate the posting. What are we anxious of? Is it the North and its religious crisis? Is it about a job we can get? What is it? The things of this world are not worth being attached to because they can be gone in a jiffy. We have been told – love not the world neither the things that are in the world!

Do not get the wrong impression. You are the architect of your destiny, do what is necessary to achieve your goals and dreams. My message is simple – worry not, be anxious of nothing.

Enough talk, here we have a few quotes
1. I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I
now enjoy. Anthony Robbins

2. Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Napoleon Hill

3. You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. Jim Rohn

Yet again,another those of motivation for us all.

Word of the week – ANXIETY : feeling nervous,worried or afraid,especially about something that is going to happen or might happen.

ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO SUCCESS (Dedication : Ibrahim Durosimi – Aspiring Consultant/Facilitator)

Motivation and inspiration for yet another week. We all want to succeed not just in life but in everything we do in life, no doubt about that but success comes at a price and only those willing to pay this price irrespective of the obstacles and setbacks will eat the fruit of success thereof. I am not here to tell you this is the path to success but I ask only one question in place of that – ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS?

Times without number, we know what to do – the price to pay, to accomplish our objectives, but there always seem to be a shorter way (at least that’s what some of us think!) some of us take that path only to discover at the end of the supposedly short path that we have wasted time and resources. If only we had channeled those resources to the path we know is the true path. It has often been said that one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it, being a fan of animated movies I recommend kung fu panda at this time, the movie is an inspirational one – from a level of just another person from the crowd to a level of respect and interacting with people who stood out from the crowd.

For the dedication of this week I have my very good friend Ibrahim Durosimi. This guy is with rise networks and is all over facebook training people on how to get the jobs of their dream, such a selfless guy with people’s interest at heart. He had it in him right from day one in college/university because of this guy a couple of people joined Junior Chambers, an organization he was a part of. As for me I have him to thank for my being part of JCI. There is more to this friend of mine but take this as a synopsis from me.

So here, a few quoteable quotes

1. A precise gaol is the springboard for any accomplishment

2. Do what u feel in your heart to be right, for you will be criticized anyway, you will be damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

3. You cannot embrace the future if you are living in the past.

There we have it, another dose of motivation for us all.

Word of the week – MEGADEATH : one million deaths, used as a unit for measuring deaths in a nuclear war.

PS : you are probably thinking how does that apply here. If in a nuclear war deaths are been counted in millions well in a ‘nuclear’ success money will be counted in millions.
