THE MORE IN LESS!

Did you know that owning fewer things can actually increase your happiness, well-being and long life? How many times have you heard the saying, "the more the merrier."? But in most cases, the more, the messier, not merrier. Often time, more of some things implies more of troubles and problems. Moderation is the key! (Philippians 4:5) From the lens of the scripture, the bible says, “the sleep of a laborer is sweet but the wealth of a rich man will not permit him to sleep."(Ecclesiastes 5:12). This means the more of wealth or riches, the less of sleep and peace of mind! Let me shock you, wealth, and abundance of it does not guarantee lasting happiness and peace of mind! There is another adage that says "too much of everything is bad." Research shows that, owning too many things can make us feel stressed, anxious, insecure, and depressed. Over time, owning too much of some things takes a mental and emotional toll on us. We become captives of those material things instead of the opposite! Life is all about moderation in everything we do, say, see, hear, wear, eat or drink. There are inherent benefits of owing less. It’s about following the principle of minimalism and simplicity living, by promoting the things we value over what we don't. It's simply about asking, "will more of this or that thing gives me joy and peace of mind?" So, if we cultivate; - Less of stress, more of strength - Less of comparison, more of peace of mind - Less of wealth, more of peaceful sleep - Less of hatred, more of love and affection - Less of bitterness, more of sweetness - Less of division, more of unity and progress - Less of anger, more of good health - Less of things of the flesh, more of fruit of the spirit - Less of worrying, more of joy - Less of social media, more of productivity and well-being - Less of overthinking, more of happiness and thanksgiving - Less of pride in ourselves, more of honour and respect - Less of procrastination, more of actualization - Less of negatives people, more of positives people - Less of pressure, more of pleasure Therefore, the key here is to get rid of everything that doesn't bring value to our lives, and make room for the things that do. Focus more on the essentials and remove frivolities. Remember, there is more in less! #MoreInLess #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
