You’re made of good stuff!

One of the reasons people get frustrated with someone they love is this; they’re seeing more in the person than the person is delivering! When the gap between the capacity they envision & the results that are coming out is too wide, disappointed sets in. I’ve said repeatedly that, it is a destiny abomination to ...

Find the good in it!

Aaaaah! That Judas case was a bad one; a whole ‘Prophet Jesus’ sold for 30 pieces of silver! Then came that ‘hail, master’ kiss & all hell broke loose. But funny enough, right at that point, Jesus called him ‘friend’ & Jesus never sugarcoats stuff; Judas was both his friend & betrayer! Matt 26:48-50. How ...

Comma is not full stop!

Slow down & stop are not the same. A ‘slowing down’ object can still run into a person, while a stationary one cannot. Comma is ‘slow down’; it is the break in continuity before continuation, it creates a clause without a closure & allows for interval before arrival. Comma’s body language is ‘there is more’, ...

The view from above

Photographers know the importance of lighting. Good photographers know how to control the camera exposure to light in order to achieve top picture quality. They also know that what you allow within the frame of your picture & how you arrange them affects quality. And one crucial issue to getting that good composition is positioning. ...

Just say, “Thank You!”

Contentment is not an easy virtue to market. There seems to be a hustling spirit resident in everyone of us. Even great ‘saints’ sometimes manifest flashes of great greed & great envy! Of course we call it by other nicer names; and it even helps to whet our competitive appetite & drive some amazing, grandiose ...

Winning the argument

Sharp mouth is not always sharp brain! Sometimes the first musings don’t always give the best conclusions. Thinking that you’re right & being right are not the same. And it is possible to win an argument not because you have the best thought, but because the others found you the most overbearing & just wanted ...

It cannot be Unsaid!

It’s like that statement made by my friend, Joe, that maybe only eternity can erase from my memory: “George, I saw it, I cannot unsaw it”. Yes, Dear Joe, it cannot be ‘unsawed’! The moment a word goes out of the lips, it’s gone! Whatever is said cannot be unsaid! And because words are very ...

Some nonsense makes sense!

When something that doesn’t make sense is done by someone who has big sense, do we still call it nonsense? What if the reason it doesn’t make sense is because it is based on higher sense than the sense analyzing it? Hmmm! Ok, let’s allow Bro Isaiah, with ‘dada hair,’ to explain further; “For my ...

Shame the shame!

A free conscience is not cheap; it is very expensive! The cost is not in pounds & dollars, but in the ‘yeses’ & the ‘noes’ that can hurt treasured relationships! A simple & uncomplicated life is not for the faint-hearted; only the bold & steadfast can stand for something! Now, what makes for a free ...

You can enjoy it!

Na me & you de complicate life. In trying to create, arrange, scheme, explain or protect our desires & control our life’s outcomes, we make life a burden. We get too interested in how tomorrow turns out that we forget that today was yesterday’s tomorrow. In pursuing destination, we don’t enjoy the journey! Poverty is ...

I Want It!

The heart wants what it wants and sometimes, the flesh is too weak to say no. And isn’t it true that the reason you feel like you want it is because ‘the universe’ has willed it to you? When life is happening ‘naturally’, our response should be to go with the flow! Oprah, Hmmm! Teacher, ...

People de follow people o oh! And I’m not talking about social media! Never underestimate your influence! Some people wey you wan copy de copy you too!
