Actions, they could abuse us if they had mouths!

Today has been a not too good day because it all started with the news of a loss which nothing can feel up, amidst this the day was quite interesting not until some strange events started to spring up because of what I will rather call "Lack of human sympathy". This actually kept me thinking because of the one reason that men will call you their friend but the moment you leave this world and it actually become their turn to at least pay you the last respect they turn around and value themselves and their pursuits notwithstanding how hard men will try to put them on the right side so as to make them see reasons why they should not go the path that they have chosen to go. 
This got me seriously thinking and in the midst of my thoughts something suddenly sprang up and that's that
"IF OUR ACTIONS COULD TALK, MOST TIMES THEY COULD ABUSE AND LAY CURSES UPON US FOR THE PATH WE DRAG THEM TO DUE TO CHOICES WE MAKE IN LIFE".
Perplexed? Yes you would be but this is really true because most times we just do things that we are not meant to do hence abusing and making ourselves a scorn to people who really shouldn't have seen us in that view.
Hence, our actions most times will abuse and lay strange curses on us if they could talk and do things that we as humans usually do. This is because most times we as humans are rather not comfortable with the actions we take but because we value ourselves more than the way we value others and the extent to which our actions at any time will affect them it becomes totally irrelevant for us to think and understand the extent to which our actions would hurt us and abuse us even if they cannot really talk as we humans do. They can abuse us in the sense that the actions we take most times which might not be in the right direction will certainly leave us with self guilt that might probably last a life time and as such this becomes a curse on us due to the fact that all through life we will live with this self guilt which if not watched will drive us to repeating same actions over and over again with our self guilt increasing and this will definitely lead us to that state were we can't really forgive ourself for the actions of the past which did bring hurt to the hearts of men.
   Having said all this, why take actions when you know it will certainly be detrimental to you all through life? I think the answer lies in the fact that the human mind and self is that which is governed by selfishness and ruled by the value for self rather that the value for others and this leads us to taking actions without thinking about the effect of it to others first and then to ourself too.
 So friends be careful about the actions you take daily so that you don't get to leave with "Had I known" all through your life because of a single action. 

                                Be careful so that you don't get to be a judge against yourself......

Your Day starts within your mind

 I woke up today with this sense of humor that today was yet another day filled with uncertainties. These uncertainties kept me wondering what today had in stock for me; as such a part of me which I later found out was my mind kept disturbing out of fear that today coupled with the events of past days  might not be too good a day. It was at this juncture that I remembered that whatever I think of my day becomes reality. Hence I suddenly found myself going back to bed in order to empty my silly mind of anything/whatsoever that could cause me not to have a blissful day..ahhhhh...this wasn't any easy task because I had to envision me in yet another world in exactly same day having a nice and blissful day because this was the only way I could empty myself and mind of all the rubbish that has suddenly  been built and accumulated within my small mind. Oh did I mention that I actually couldn't even sleep as I went back to bed. Never mind!
  As time went on, my mind became totally empty with nothing to worry about and my wondering mind also gave birth to a sound mind filled with positivity of a new day coupled with the understanding that has now stocked to my mind that my day actually starts within my mind. Hence, emptying my mind of all fears and worries of not having a blissful day became a must do thing for me because that was the only way I could actually soar myself into a great day that has so much good, better and best in stock for me.
 At this point, I would love to ask you that's reading this article "Do you know that your day really starts with your mind?" How? you may ask. The answer is that your mindset about your day decides the events of that day. If you woke up with the understanding that your today would not really be a good day I assure you that your day will really not be a good day because it is our little confessions that triggers events and happenings around our world. The extent of positivity/negativity in your mind about your day becomes the order of your day notwithstanding how hard your try to have the best day ever, Why? Because your mind is like a little world/bank which controls events around you; but with much carefulness we can keep this act by our minds under control by constantly having a pure heart held up high by positivity.You may ask; How do I develop a positive mindset? The sole answer lies within you and only you can assure yourself of having a positive mindset because only you can attest to the fact that you will stay positive at all time, why do I say this? it is because you can force a horse to the stream but can never make/force it drink water. Right? Yes, of course. I might give you tips on how to have a positive mindset but the sole choice to follow those tips lies in your hands and as such it becomes totally useless that you have the tips and make a choice of not following the tips in order to come to that place where at all times you stay positive.
  More so, if you believe as I do believe that your day is a treasure and that where your treasure is, that's where your heart belongs then I think you will work hard no matter how hard just to have a positive mindset so that you can actually tap into the treasures which your day holds for you. Having known and understood that your day is a treasure and that the best way through which you can actually cherish it is through a positive mindset then I bet/employ you to work hard and probably harder to flush out whatsoever that would want to stand as a hindrance from you tapping into life's treasures which comes in the form of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Furthermore, working towards a positive mindset doesn't take you heaven or hell rather all it takes and requires is just your little time out of the whole 24 hours which you have everyday. How do you achieve this mindset? Each time you wake up in the morning, I advice you walk straight into your mirror if you have one in your room and then speak and talk positive words about your day to your image and try as much as possible to let the words which you have actually spoken to sink into you properly because it will amount to a total waste of time if after you have spoken and talked to yourself there's lack of understanding of those words. Secondly, I suggest with the understanding that you know that life itself is a journey and that in this journey you are a passenger and at same time a driver whose been guided by a SUPREME BEING. Hence you must commit your day from the start to the end to him for direction.
Lastly, Positivity will and can never be bought hence the sole work to achieving a positive mindset lies on you and this suddenly becomes a burden the moment you neglect that it is you alone who can give yourself a positive mindset.
Believe me or not, your day starts within your mind and in order to make the best day out of your day..HAVING A POSITIVE MINDSET(POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE) ABOUT YOUR DAY WILL MAKE YOU SOAR HIGH to having a blissful day.

My state of Confusion

This is a true life thing!

 Life, they say is best lived in comfort, that's where no pain or worry is the order of the day.


Yet people like me most times live life in a state that's rather described than said. This state is


called "Confusion".

I have been pondering while all of a sudden things took a U-turn in me, as in things have not


being going the way I planned and wished they would go because the things which I love and


love doing most have become the ones that hunt me now the more and those things which I


totally dislike and hate have suddenly turned out to be my friend and as such living me as a


man who seems to be without focus. And the only question that comes to my confused mind


is Why? why? why?


    Nevertheless, as events that exposes a confused mind keeps unfolding daily in me


governed with the ability to now be sleeping every now and then and whiling away my 


precious time in things that are not too and will never be profitable to me, I come to realize 


that within my inner man lies the strength to stop whatsoever negatives that has left me in my


present state; yet as I struggle in trying to get out of this state, I suddenly find myself going


down the path which I have not chosen to tread, that part where when the story of your life is


told, it brings nothing but pains to the ears of whoever would hear such messed up stories.


Life is this you for me?


    In this state where every single thing has become a nightmare to me, I have every course to


ask certain questions which if possible I might not get to find the answer all through life and


as such I become so dumb that these words are rather kept in the mind than said out. More so,


Life most times I have been made to understand through life touching experiences that most


times life won't be so favorable.


   As such, all these have left me a man filled with several thoughts;  like "'what exactly in life


brings about certain situations that will destabilize us up to the extent that  we live life in total


confusion and a constant state of pondering on how best to manage life and get out of the


unfavorable state of confusion.


   Hence as I get more lost and lost in this state, I have come to realize that


- I can be confused but not dismayed.


- I can be confused but not destroyed,


- I can be confused but not weak and tired.


- I can be confused but that at the right time my confused mind will find rest.


- I can be confused but my heart and eyes are all fixed on the price instead of the pains.


- That while this state of confusion lasts, It will definitely leave me a stronger person.


   However, in all this knowing which I will rather call conviction; I find out that the more


convinced I am about how I am not dismayed, destroyed, not tired and weak etc  that it


becomes obvious that I am drowning constantly and so fast in a way that my inner mind


keeps telling me that help from man would be a solid waste of time because what man cannot


see, feel, perceive and taste he sure cannot find a lasting solution that will once again bring


joy and hope of a strong me living life under the influence of the conviction that life has


offered me every best and perfect gift which I must tap with utmost carefulness backed up


with the zeal of using them in the most favorable way so as to do exploits in life which used


to be my utmost dream.


   In essence of this realization, my inner man tells me that the sole answer to my confusion


lies in a place where my present state have all been paid for. Yes! I exclaimed as my inner


man gave me this solution because with it came a realized feeling that once again I will


spring forth out of everything that left me in my present state where everything seems to be \


nothing but  impossible to me. Suddenly, as this solution came I found myself sober because \


it came with the very realization that all I have wanted was to be the captain of my life by


trying at all cost in controlling every single thing that has been and will be happening in me


and within me and this in turn left me in my present state.


  Believe me, at this moment I realized I had a book some where in a corner of my room titled

 "The touch of excellence". This book has always been my guide because it has helped to


build me up and still will help in building me up because of its richness. Then as I realized


this I started to flip through the pages and suddenly this unforeseen state started to ease out


like a cloudy weather given way for a bright one. Thanks to The General Overseer of  


Salvation Ministries who at his own busy schedule still made out time to write such a rich


book that has and will help millions of people who at one point or the other will find


themselves in ugly situations of life.  


   Finally, as I ended reading this book, I came to realize that most times in life we use our

mouth and our thoughts in creating ourselves into a place  called "the state of confusion" in

life.
  
 Conclusively, to all those out there who have found themselves or will find themselves in


this shoe which I once found myself; I say to you be strong and never lose hope and faith on


yourself and on whoever you believe in but I suggest its best you believe on the supreme God


and more so try as much as possible as you can to stay positive at mind always no matter how


confused you will get. Furthermore, try as much as you can to confide in men and women


who are worthy of your trust and who in return would give you advice that can last you for a


life time..


   Once again stay put as I dive out of my present state of confusion into the realm where my


today and yesterday are nothing but lessons that has made me stronger and stronger for the


fierce battle that's ahead of me.
