Let your life be with a difference. You may wish to ask me how? Men and women alike seem to have similiar complaint daily on how the world is becoming a difficult place to live in. Some complain about their home, education, the world economy etc. But you can decide to be different by concentrating and thinking of what you think is necessary to do at this point. Are you to learn a vocation as student who has been hanging at home for a while now due to Nigerian government attitude toward our youth education or due to your country economic situation? Or you are seeking for admission for close to a year or more without any luck. Do not see the situation as a hopeless one. Just act as a unique person that you are. Take up the challenge and do something with your life.

There is no money someone out there will say, that I know, but with that time you waste going to friends and family members who see you as a burden, while not think of going to that workshop near you and find out what the young man there is doing with the wood and leather around him or the mechanic down the road, how he is handling the car that was brought for fixing?. Let me tell you this truth that when you finally finish your education, such knowledge will come handy. Don't waste this precious time , use your time well and you will be sure to be proud of your action in future.

Appreciation

I gotthis story from someone close to me. He went on a trip to his hometown far away Delta State, on his way back the bus on which he was traveling had some problems. It got fixed and they continue the journey, not long after, the bus tire went off while on a high speed. God saved them. But sure, everyone would start conplaining of how far they would have gone instead of be held up on the road. According to him, he told other co-travellers that they should not travel on the same bus again, and so the transport company was called for another bus, request the transport company granted. So the journey continue, on their way they met a robbery scene, where about three persons were killed and others robbed. He remembered how they had wasted time behind and imagine what would have become of them if not for the issues they had with their vehicle.

So when I travelled this weekend as well and was caught up in a traffic on Akure-Ife Expressway, I remembered the testimony of the young man and encouraged myself that, instead of complaining I rather thank God, because I do not know what is in the offering ahead if I happened to get further fast as I would really have wished. So I am encouraging us to always appreciate God, in any situation, we find ourselves and believe him for the best of the situation. It does not matter what religion you belong to, God protects us all, in different ways.

Good Example

I am glad to be back here today. I wish to share this wonderful story which I think will inspire someone out there.

In today's world we all need help in one way or the other and when those you trust to come to your rescue are not available for that purpose, we tend to get hurt. Honestly, there is no need for it.

There is this young woman who find herself in a very difficult health problem and the hope for life was almost impossible. This lady believe that she would make it against all odds. Keeping faith is not easy in situation of health, when all you know is pain and pain. But she kept faith and believe that with God she will make it. Guess what? During this period those that ought to matter and be of concern and help were not available for her. Guys that profess love were busy, possibly too busy to share this period with her. Some friends, relations and co-workers seems to be the hardworking ones.

In this situation I believe many of us will develop the spirit of hatred in us to a level that after the ailment, we would have more enemies than friends. No, that is not the way, this lady did not do that, rather she told herself that those who were available in her time of crisis were those who truly matter in her life and others did not real matter and so she appreciated God for all those who stood by her and others she care less about. i.e she related with them as if nothing happened. Guess what, she is better for it. Why? She enjoy her life without bitterness. I have learnt a leason from this lady's life, which is not dwelling in things that will offend you. This is a better way of life.

Have a great day.
