Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.

Mindset.!!! This is a word that carries weight in its meaning. I cast my mind back to the children of
Israel, when the 12 spies were set out to spy the land. They came with some good report BUT when its matters most, their mindset overrule their inert potential and strengths. Because of this act, they could not enter the land……am not preaching.
What trips me is that we do allow our mindset to deprive us of benefits and claims that we could lay our hands upon…..am a culprit. I found out that we can quote the scriptures well, memorize it but when it comes to application we allow our mind to rule!!!! If the Israelites had not seen themselves like grasshoppers, they would have entered into the Promised Land long enough. There are times I asked myself can I achieve this task, am I qualified to attain this level, will I ever be who I want to be, how do I see myself,….and the questions go on and on…
A man once said, “If you can not see the picture, you can’t see the future”. Its dawn on me that the picture one paints in the mind reflects the reality of his life. No matter the challenges, rejection, circumstances, etc.., the clear picture of one’s dream must constantly remain fixed.
Let keep painting the picture of our expectations on our mind, give no room for negative thinking…its hard but we can choose not.. and remain focus.
Have a great week!!
I woke up this morning feeling tired, with my eyes heavy crying for more sleep, but I have to go to work. Still feeling tired, I said Thank God is Friday!! This sounds as the tonic I need.
This has been a regular saying among us. I have friends that always look towards Friday. A puzzle is been raised in my mind that I cannot find the full answer to.
The puzzle is this: “We all look toward Friday, it signifies the beginning of weekend; so we can relax, reflect, rest and spent quality time with our loved ones. Rather than achieving this purpose, it seems to be the busiest days of the week. Imagine the parties (marriage, birthday, etc) we attend on Saturdays, this takes a lot of our “man-hour”, classes to attend (those that go to professional class), house cleaning and at the end we are fagged out thinking we will make up with Sunday. On Sunday, we rushed to church to attend classes, workers’ meetings, and early morning services. After church, only to be thinking of preparing for the week ahead; what to wear and ironing, visit salon (have a nice hair cut, do million braids, hair retouch, nail polish, pedicure, manicure, chat …).. “am not against this because you must to look tight and good”… and preparing ready-made stew (by the bros’ and sis) for the week ahead.By the time all this is over, Sunday is gone. Do we really enjoy the weekend???”
Am a culprit also, but I think we should try at least to relax in any of those 2 days.
This is the puzzle that I ponder on. Share your own view!!!!!!!
Have a great weekend and blessed week.
