Dear loving people,
It’s true I’ve been away and so Happy
New Year. A billion thanks to all those who have kept the faith, I have however
been active with reflections on Facebook and collecting action-provoking
thoughts from great minds on Facebook. Permit me now to pull them together for
your edification…
Recently, I read about Ralph Waldo
Emerson (1803-1882) and agree strongly with his edifying words “What
lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us.”
When you have a glimpse of what lies within you, it becomes
clearer to you that the tough guys strive to be their best at all times no
matter the circumstances because at the end of the day, its not about what lies
behind or before you nor the people around you, its about you and God. I say this because your character
is the degree to which you live you life consistent with high, life-enhancing
values. A person who lacks character is one who compromises on higher order
values in favor of lower order expedience, or who has no values at all. Your
adherence to what you believe to be right and true is the real measure of the
person you have become to this moment. Think about it. How would someone
describe your character?
Let not the futility of man lead you into earthly
entanglements.
By the way, when was the last time you were so deceived, disgraced, emotionally
battered, lambasted and ambushed by the person you have all along considered your best friend? Just maybe you will want to hear
my story. Well! I don’t celebrate bad moments, and no matter the
circumstances or wake of things, don’t let the ephemeralness of a futile human
nature destroy your will to self-motivate. Do strive at all times to rise to
the heights God destined for you.
However,
you must bear it at all times in mind that Unexpected circumstances can be thrown at you, in fact,
they will be thrown at you more often than you would like but what is the thing
that counts most in these situations? What counts most is how you REACT
to what happens to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any
kind.
The questions comes, do you have
incredible powers of mind and emotions that give you timely and accurate
feedback in every area of your life? The answer is yes! However, how well you
use this divine gift to ensure your success is largely a matter of choice.
However, I must tell you that you alone can control the choices you make about
your life?
On a lovely Sunday evening like the one
at the time I am putting these notes together,
I pray that this day and hence remain bright for you too. Take some
moments at your earliest convenience to review your dreams; change your
approaches if they have not been yielding results, take some risks, venture
onto new grounds, plan with God and remain committed, your star will shine
soon.
Once
again, I am most delighted to be reconnected to you especially as we head
towards the official launching of Living Lectures come November 2014.
