Nails in the Wall

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
(Most importantly the last sentence)
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper,he must hammer a nail into the back of the wall.
The first day the boy had driven37 nails into the wall.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the wall.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for eachday that he was able to hold his
temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the wall.
He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the wall.
The wall will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.
Once you hurt ur loved ones It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there.
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Living in Health; Little Changes that Lead to Big Differences.

The World Health Organization defined health as ‘ a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not just the absence of disease or infirmity’. It is therefore clear from the above definition that any focus on the physical health of an individual, community or nation at large without taking cognizance of the mental and social health is not complete. Moreover, it is not enough to be free from obvious and overt disease or infirmity, one needs to be at peace with himself and others to be said to be healthy, hence the social part.

For the spiritually inclined, the following verses will put into perspective the fact that God does not only wish us to have spiritual relationship, he also wishes us to live in health both physically and mentally:

 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities; Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit; Who crowns you with loving kindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like an eagle." Psalms 103:1-5

"A man's spirit can sustain his broken body, but when spirit dies, what hope is left?"   Proverbs 18:14

"A cheerful heart is good medicine." Proverbs 17:22

Overcoming Fear of Failure 2

I just finished the last campaign speech for the post of president of my association. The hall was packed full of electorates whose votes were to decide who the next president would be. The election is an annual event, but many had confessed that they had not seen such intense competition between the contestants in a long time. Needless to say that no other election could be compared to that particular year even now. But as I step outside to catch my breath and relax, one of my junior colleagues came to me, shook my hand and said 'Chief, you are more of a motivational speaker. Your speech was so motivating and inspiring'.
Go back a couple of years earlier.

Overcoming Fear of Failure

We most times stay in our comfort zone, afraid to venture out because of fear of failure. We colour our fear with all sort of acceptable shades and convince ourselves that we are focused on what we are doing.
However, like Brian Tracy rightly said, successful people are optimists who try many more things, fail at many of them, but also have increased chance at succeeding. Robert Kiyosaki also puts it his own language 'rich people do more and more things with less and less efforts'.
So when next you turn down that opportunity or put off that challenge, do a thorough soul searching; are you really being focused on what you are doing or you are afraid of failure in that you are yet to do?

To your success.

How to Achieve Supernatural Speed: Direction, Determination and Discipline

•       The following is the text of my ministration at Power of Zion Assembly, Jos on the above topic.

•       Text: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (King James Version)

•       ²⁴ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

•       ²⁵ And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

•       ²⁶ I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

•       ²⁷ But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Direction

•       Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him:” If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north?" The man answered,” My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage, and I have enough money." The man didn’t consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.

•       There are many meanings of the word direction depending on the context. But that which concerns us can be defined as ‘the line or course on which something is moving or is aimed to move or along which something is pointing or facing’.
