MOMENTUM


Are you happy? This is a question everyone finds some level of difficulty in answering or at least some hesitation. Do you recall the last time or just anytime you felt really good about yourself? You should.

I am going to give you something to try: if it works for you, keep doing it, and if it doesn’t then find something else to try.

You must have done something the last time you felt good about yourself; a good deed, solved a problem, or even made someone else feel good about themselves- whatever it was that you did, it was an action that you took, and happiness was the reward.

How about now? Why did you not keep up with what you did to keep your spirits even higher? You did something and felt happy and satisfied, but you stopped, you did not repeat the action.

So today I would love you to recall an event or a scenario that made you proud of yourself. Try to repeat the actions you took, or the words you said, or something else you can immediately do to simulate the scenario. It doesn’t have to be something big, just take a little step…small steps add up to a very big stairway.

When you do that, don’t stop- do it again, then do it again, then do it one more time- keep going and never look back, because happiness is a constant state. When you stop doing good, you stop feeling good, it’s that simple.

Use the momentum from the first act to roll over the next step, and the next step, and then the step after that.

You did something to feel happy, now you can't do nothing and expect the same reward- it just doesn’t work that way. So go ahead and be happy. Choose to be happy. It’s all up to you.

CONTENTMENT

 WHAT REALLY MATTERS? It is written in the Bible that “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” (1Tim 6:6) This verse has been hammered into my brain since I was a child, but then it was just another memory verse, just like the others I learned in Sunday school. But growing up, I have come to see the several applications of this verse and how it has helped me lived a happy and fulfilled life. In our society today, we are blinded by clout and desperately chasing and falling for what we do not have. Scammers on -or-offline would not have a fan base if it were not for our greed. One will see an ad promising free cash, phones, or other gift items and all sense of reasoning will disappear through thin air, all for what? I’ll tell you the answer… we are trying to get what we do not have. How about fathers and mothers; uncles and aunts; and even children who leave their families to search for the so-called “greener pasture?” I have no doubt we all want to climb up whatever ladder we t

The 1 Thing You Need to Overcome Obstacles

THE 1 THING YOU NEED TO OVERCOME DIFFICULT CHALLENGES 1. A few days back I went to see a friend. After catching up, we went into his gym which contained one piece of equipment comprising of cement and a rod. He lied down on the bench and asked me to pass it to him. I tried lifting it off the ground but I couldn’t.  It looked ‘carryable,’ at first, but when I bent down, I could swear I heard my waist bone give way. I spent the night there and I tried lifting it the next morning as I’d gotten enough rest at night. I bent down, and this time, like the last time, I couldn’t lift it. But it gave way a little. On the fourth day, no, I didn’t carry it oo. But it budged. I even lifted it to my ankles. It was massive for me.  After my sixth attempt, I lifted it. Yes, I did. No lies here. I carried it up to my chest before letting it thunder to the ground. 2. I remember when the Ebola virus first hit.  People were so scared of losing their lives and would go to every length to find a

BE THE VOICE

                                                                           BE THE VOICE I was watching a video yesterday on how the power of one could change many. Although I dare not use the same example as I’d seen in the video, mainly because I do not have the same experience, therefore, it would be really hard to portray the message using their situation, I will illuminate it using a different perspective. Sometimes all you need is a little voice to give you the final push that will help you overcome that difficult task. You do have that voice in your head but it doesn’t work because you have shut it down by giving up, therefore you need another voice- someone else’s voice to speak to you. Whatever challenges you face, don’t face them alone; find a true and willing friend to share them with. They just might be the voice you need. Now these tough guys in the referenced video was undergoing some training and tests under very harsh conditions and they were at the point of giving
