Being Consistent With Simple Things


Can I ask you a question....??

What does love and passion mean to you??

Many of us imagine love and passion to be that strong affection you have for someone or something because you attracted to it. That is Infatuation or Lust. It is never love. Not even close to it.

I define or measure love with the level of consistency to do the things you plan to do.

Passion on the other hand, is the energy that drives the love for the things you do. Everybody has something he or she wishes to change especially in this lockdown period.
You have written so many things you want to do, once the virus passes and the lockdown period is over. For some of you, you want to to begin a new life as a mother or father to your kids at home. You started teaching them how to pray in the morning when they wake up, how to lay their own bed and brush their teeth. For your older children, you've started teaching them how to be responsible with their time and money.
But it's looking like all your efforts are not working out for you just the way you planned it. But do not give up. Rather, have a consistency pattern to what you are already doing with your children. Continue the same way with love and understanding, and in  no time, your children will grow very well into what you are trying to teach them. You need love and passion to carry this through successfully. Children learn from what we do as adults not from what we say. If your love  for them to be responsible children cannot match your passion or desire to do the work, you will fail. Start teaching them little by little everyday, be consistent with it and build a great level of affection for it, you will finally get the result you are after.
As a husband, you are used to living home early in the morning for work. Your children don't even see until weekends. You always wish you had free time to bond with your children and your wife. The Corona lockdown period has presented a perfect opportunity to do such.  Bond and spend quality time with your family as much as you can.
Your work on your laptop and your former busy schedules cannot take the place of your family. Even though you are working from home, make each time count for something with your family. Especially your children. Make it consistent and regular as much as you can. You will not be far from winning the father of the year in their eyes. I can promise you that.
Wives and mothers please do same.

Why is this excercise important???

Because it's the everyday routine you apply to the small things you do that makes your plans and goals work. And not how beautifully you have written them. And certainly not how you have been inspired to do them. To have inspiration is great, which is what I'm always giving you with what I  write. But you need love and passion to carry this through.
No one can do that for you except you yourself.
Don't think I am writing this only for mothers and fathers or parents. I am writing this for everybody. Young and old. To have a deeper look at ourselves and work on ourselves to improve. I'm not a magician, I may not know what exactly your plans and goals are. But I know there's something you really want to do or change about your life for the better.
Stop wishing it and do something about it.
Work for it, in a small but regular waywhatever it is you want to do.

Start small, build your love and passion for it everyday and in no time, you will see that you will get the results you have always been looking for.

Rome wasn't built in a day. A brick by brick each day brought up Rome and made into the mighty Roman empire you know.

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...

Support Small Business Owner Friends And Family To Grow

To all my self-employed, small business owner friends and family,  this article is dedicated to us!!!! Rihanna releases a lip gloss, people buy it.  Michael Jordan puts out new trainers in stores, people flock to these stores to buy them instantly. Dr. Dre  has new headphones, people buy it. Oprah Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world introduces a new weight loss and diet control program, people jump on board and flow with it. Beyoncé has a new concert, people queue in line to go spend £250 on a ticket just to watch her performance. A friend or family member of ours starts a business, and soon we become weary.  We say things like "Not sure this is going to work"  "This business you are starting is not going to go anywhere, I'll give you only 6 months, it will collapse to the ground"  " this your product is too expensive, you will be out of business in no time if you don't reduce your prices" Those of you, putting out negative comments...
