WISDOM -THE ELIXIR FOR SUCCESSFUL LIVING

In a world where results speak louder than efforts, where relationships bloom in prosperity but wither in adversity, and where silence holds more power than words, the essence of wisdom shines brightly. Wisdom comes from deep life's experiences, and it's usually hard-earned. Sometimes, few words convey powerful meanings than lengthy words. These short wisdom nuggets say a lot with just a few words, and the profound truths serves as a reminder of the importance of wisdom in guiding our actions, as we navigate the ocean of life: 1. People are not interested in your efforts; they want to see your results. They are interested in what is in your hands than what is in your heart. 2. My father told me, “poverty is an orphan but riches have many relations and friends.” Work hard so that poverty can become your enemy! 3. You don't have true friends or relations until you have problems. Even your shadow sometimes leaves you in darkness. 4. Favour is the invaluable ingredients that optimizes your labour and efforts to yield success. Remember, “it is not about how many times you fail, but how much god favours you.” — Gift Gugu Mona 5. Control your anger because it is just one letter away from danger. Anger will put your life on the hanger! 6. Don't show everyone your wounds, not everyone is holding a bandage, some are with pepper, salt and vinegar to increase the pains. 7. Never plant thorns on someone’s path, your children may take that route barefooted one day. Remember, the evil men do lives with them and the law of karma will always take its course! 8. The greatest weapon and source of strength in life is the power of silence. It makes you unpredictable and gets your adversaries confused. 10. Success in life is mutually exclusive. Your success does not stop another person from succeeding. The sky is too wide for birds to fly without colliding 11. Understanding is better than knowledge. There are many people who know you, but there very few who understand you. Never force people to understand you, be your own limited spec! 12. My father once told me not to hunt what I cannot kill; not to kill what I cannot eat, not to eat what I cannot swallow, because if can be poisonous! And that I should not start what I cannot finish. 13. The bad thing about the good things is that it will end one day. Conversely, the good thing about the bad things is that it will also end one day. Nothing is permanent in life. Everything in life has a beginning and expiry date. 14. A man of wisdom is a man of power, strength, intelligence and special ability. In all your ways, seek wisdom, and seek understanding. It will save you in the day of adversity (proverbs 8:11) Therefore, wisdom is the elixir for successful living. Seek it, get it, and apply it always. And remember, wisdom is a shelter and it preserves the lives of its possessors (Ecclesiastes 7:12) #WisdomAsElixir #PowerOfWisdom #WisdomNuggets #IamPOZA

Begin With the End in Mind!

According to Albert Einstein, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Begin with the End in Mind means you must sit down and analyse the benefits, risks and challenges to be envisaged before making any move in life. Beginning with the end in mind is all about asking yourself self-probing questions to determine your objectives and the reasons behind what you want to do or achieve. Therefore; -Before you step out on your daily task, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that relationship, begin with the end in mind -Before you hurt that person, begin with the end in mind -Before you refuse to forgive that individual, begin with the end in mind -Before you join others to backbite, backstab, gossip or hate someone, begin with the end in mind -Before you marry that woman or man, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that business partnership, begin with the end in mind Concerning our lives, it means always having the image of the end of your l

Overcoming Inertia In The Pursuit Of Your Goals.

Image
Is it just me or time really flies, it's already February 3rd ,one month is gone in the year. Most people are still warming up to go, but , there is something called the power of inertia the end of the year brings. Inertia is the tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Big definition for a simple concept. Long and short of what this means is, if you slow down in December at the end of the year, it becomes more difficult for everybody to get going in January and a simple way to check if this is real to you or not is to ask yourself these questions 1. What specific goals did you set in January? 2. What specific activities did you set to accomplish these goals? 3. How much of your goals were yet to be achieved 4. How many of your activity goals were yet to be done? Just in case inertia has taken over, I came as a good external force to hopefully jolt you back into motion. 1. Identify one thing you need to start doing,

The Immutable Secrets of Prosperity

The Immutable Secrets of Prosperity Texts: 3 John 2, Mat. 6:24-33, Joshua 1:8 INTRODUCTION: In the Bible the Apostle John says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 2 What is prosperity? A. One dictionary definition of prosperity is: "a state of being prosperous, wealth or success". Having money can be part of the equation, but not always. Prosperity isn't about what you have or own, but what you feel about what you have or own. It is about recognizing life's abundance. B. Prosperity is not only money—in your pocket, in the bank, in your stock portfolio and CDs. True prosperity is the sense of abundance—the sense that you have the right to live an abundant life, that you are a child of a wealthy Father and Mother who love you and want to give you all their riches. C. Prosperity is your true inheritance. It is health, wealth, happiness, joy, peace, faith, hope, wisdom, being in tune with the f
