THE MAGIC OF A SMILE

As a child, I know that the easiest way to make people like you is the magic of a smile. When you are a person who is full of fun and always smiling, people will love you and want to partake in the things that make you happy. Because you are always happy, they are always happy to be with you. Smiling was my winning factor. It is generally believed that, people with a great smile radiate warmth that draws others to them instantly. Getting people to like you is a natural gift that you possess. For long as I can remember I found it easy to get along with people. For me it is a natural talent and I only improved on along the way. I knew early in life that smile, attitude and body language are paramount to creating a strong visual impression. I also know that strangers feel comfortable and co-operative when you always smile at them. In life, some people possess an invisible quality that draws others to them like a magnet. Their charisma defines everything th...

WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU WILL STRENGTHEN YOU

According to Martin Luther King Junior, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." A lot of people are going through challenging times. The economic down-turn has affected people of all ages. Millions of people have lost their job. Many people have lost their homes and many have lost their loved ones. Times are hard. From time immemorial, economic depressions and recessions surely do cause hardship and suffering. Like they say fortune favours the bold. On the other hand economic depression also serves as catalysts for inspiration creativity. Hard times give you strength and fortify you for a better tomorrow. Like they say, “What doesn't kill you will strengthen you.” In life, we must learn to hustle. Those who made it “Big” didn't just sit down and do nothing. They went after every opportunity, they sacrificed comfort and success became the end result. Th...

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO RE-WRITE YOUR STORY

Frankly speaking no matter how old you are, it is never too late to re-write your story. Let me put it in another way, it’s never too late to recognize your life’s purpose. Do this and take advantage of the endless source of energy that the universe provides. People spend a lot of time and energy worrying about the circumstances they find themselves in. No matter what you have been doing for years or where you have been, it's never too late to take a U-turn. Do this when you are not satisfied or not happy with what you are doing at the moment. In this life, real security can be achieved in only one way and that's by recognizing your true Self. By doing what makes you happy. By doing this single act, the body and mind dissolve, and your true Self will remain in the field of energy that gives birth to all new life in the universe. When you detach yourself from your old ways, your dreams and the right people come in, it's just like magic. Then the power to make your des...

WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Love whatever you are doing and it will love you back. You must have passion for what you are doing. Passion gives you the energy; determination gives you the will and persistence to keep you going. To be successful in what you do, you need to have passion and a vision. With passion comes perseverance and determination to get you through the tough times and the vision will take you to where you want to be and what you want to achieve in life. What you do with your time matters in life. Everything you do on earth whether good or bad leaves a footprint. The kind of legacy you leave for the next generation matters a lot. Be the change you want to see in this world. Learn to inspire people with your brilliant work. Starting from this very moment be a catalyst for change.

DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T EVEN THINK OF IT

"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."-Brian Tracy In life's journey, setbacks and failures are inevitable. That doesn't mean you should throw your projects out of the window or abandon your dream. When these failures and setbacks show its ugly head, don't give up. Today, we live in a multidimensional world that change constantly and a world that offers so many possibilities and opportunities. You are born unique, there is only you and you are created for a special reason. Whatever you dream is, don't give up especially in time of difficulty. You may think your dream is taking too long and it's not working and it will never chang...

NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME

Life is a series of events that come with twists and turns. Let’s face it, to live in this would, you have to be strong and have faith. You are the designer of your destiny. Change is the only thing that is constant on earth, it is either you love it or hate it when it occurs but that won’t stop it. Change is inevitable and it is here to stay. In life’s journey, we learn, we live, we fail, and we triumph. We work ourselves from darkness to light, from bad to good. At times we are happy at times we are sad. In life we cry, we laugh, we hate, and we love. Nothing ever stays the same, because change is a big part of life.

CONFIDENCE IS ALL YOU NEED TO GET THERE

There are new opportunities everywhere. Things are steadily evolving; lots of people are stepping out and claiming their places in the society. I am happy when I see young people pursue their dreams. I encourage you to take action to achieve your dreams. Don't let opportunities pass by. Like the saying goes "opportunity knock but once" As you set out to pursue your dream, have it in mind that ambition alone won't be the only trait you need. You need confidence to get you there. Don't let obstacles, disabilities or your situation hinder your dreams. Life is a struggle; go about it with all you have. According to Oprah Winfrey, "Where there is no struggle, there is no strength. So, all the obstacles in life...

YOUR TODAY’S DECISION DETERMINES YOUR FUTURE:

Whatever decision you take today determines your future. So it is always important to think before any decision because you never know what the effect will be. Whatever decisions you make, good or bad determines your future. If you are on your way to make it big in life, chances are that you are making a good decision. Every project you have every created started in your mind as a thought or feeling. If you have a positive frame of mind there are chances that the end result will be positive. For you to be successful...

MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS PART 2

While growing up in Nigeria, I had a friend whom for privacy sake would not disclose his name. He was from a wealthy home. He was the first child and he had all the things money can buy. He was the same age with me and we always hang out a lot. His dad was rich while my dad was poor. I discovered that despite all the wealth around him, he was not a happy person. He constantly burg me that he was fed up with the world and that he is not happy with the system. Talking of money, he had...

MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS

Today, the world is no longer predictable. 100 years ago, our lives seemed simpler because our roles were more defined. All areas of our lives were defined, but today the case is different. In order to be happy and successful we must be multidimensional in everything we do. We belong to the era of technology. Happiness is the desire of every man and woman. On every continent, in every country and in every culture, when people are asked, "What do you want?" the most popular answer is "happiness." Happiness is what you need in...

What A Real Friend Should Be

Yesterday, I wrote about friends and how they come in different shades. Today I want to talk about what a real friend should be. In life journey, you need a friend, someone you can count on, someone that can hold you so that you don't slip. For you to achieve your goals in life, you need not just a friend but a real one. A real friend must be able to help you in becoming a better person. A real friend should correct you when you are going wrong. He or she should not hesitate to point out your mi...

FRIENDS COMES IN DIFFERENT SHADES

According to Eustache Deschamps “Friends are relatives you make for yourself.” Perfectly said and I totally agree with Eustache. No one chooses a friend for you; it is you alone that will determine who your friends should be. At this juncture you might ask, what are friends and what does it mean to have them. Friends give us company when we are lonely, and they are people we love to spend time with. Friends support us unconditionally and they are ready to accept us despite our shortcomings. Friends are there to hear our fear...

LIFE HAS NO RULES:

According to Mark Houlahan, "If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and every day you have the opportunity to write a new page." In the immortal words of Angelina Jolie, “Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it; there is no way of life.” For the present generation, life has no rules. We live in an era whereby we are intoxica...

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

Even before you were born, God already have you in mind. So from day one, you are born to be special. That is why nobody else is like you. Everything about you is unique. That is why there is no one else that has your identity. No one has the same family background and experiences like you. No one has the same fingerprints like you. You must also recognize that no one else has the same genetic code like you. No one else has your brain, talent, capability and skill. Now you see why you should do something...

FAITH IN ACTION

Yesterday, I wrote about "Faith: Why You Must have it" Today let's see faith in action. Having faith means believing in things, situations that are not visible and as you must know, life is a journey with inner secrets and mysteries. Today I want to share with you the story I found on Internet that illustrates faith in action. “There was a village where for a long period does not experience rain. The farmers could not plant their crops because there was no rain. One day, the villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayer all the people gathered but only one boy came with an umbrella. The others Villagers were surprised and out of curiosity asked the boy why he came with an umbrella. With confidence, the boy replied, “Since we are going to pray to God for rain and I know and I believe that God answer all prayers, so I came prepared.” So dear reader, that's Faith in action. Though the Villagers were praying for rain, they did not believe. If they have...

I AM THE MAGIC

Every day, I like to get up very early and work towards my goals and dreams. I do this because life doesn't stop for anybody. While many people may wake up late or rather sit around and wait for magic to open. For me, since I was born I realised that the magic that will turn my dreams into reality is "me" and not luck like most people may believe. When you are inspired by a dream, don't wait a second because delay may be dangerous. From the very moment, take action by creating a good plan that will turn your dream into a reality. So this morning I am ready to live my life in a way that will turn my dream to life. I am the magic backed by an intelligent, open mind.
