The Power of Agreement


What do you have in common with the people you claim to love?

What do you have in common with your husband, with your wife, with your brother, with your sister, with your mother or with your father?
Do you know the world looks messy now because a lot of us have become selfish? We are not willing lately to bind ourselves to a purpose, to a mission, a cause for greater good that can tie us to the greater success of everyone connected to us.

In 2017, I got on a language exchange app to improve my French and German language learning. As I started to talk with most of the people in the app, I realised they couldn't teach me their language in English perfectly like I wanted them to. So I decided to teach them English so when they become better with English someday, they can teach me their language well for me to understand.
Never did I think teaching people will bind me to them and cause me to write everyday to motivate and encourage them to greatness personally.
Today I can bodly stand in confidence and say not only have I taught people English with my knowledge but in humility I have also changed lives of most of my students around the world. I deem this achievement to be nothing but  by the grace of God.

But how was I able to do this successfully? I could only do this because the people trusted me that no matter what I will teach them the right things, give them the right knowledge and do right by them. I was scared when some of them entrusted in me with a bigger responsibility to teach them and guide them. Thank God, majority of them have turned out well and got positive feedback and results. Me as a teacher succeeded and they as students also succeeded because we had an agreement. That agreement was trust and excellence in knowledge.

Husband, do you mistaken your wife's submission and obedience to you as stupidity? If you do, you are a very immature man I tell you. Her submission and total devotion to you as a man and her husband must be done,  so the marriage can get to a successful end. The submission and total devotion she is showing is her honouring her agreement to be your wife. So don't you ever get it twisted!

Wife, do you also mistaken your husband's love and adoration for you as stupidity ? Do you walk all over him, disrespect and disregard him because he loves and cares for you too much?  Listen, that love you and adoration you are disrespecting from your man anytime he gives it or shows it to you is his agreement or commitment to be a better, and a well deserved husband for you. So,
becareful!
Parents, what agreement do you have with your children as you have brought them to this world?
Do you have responsibilities for them and a life lesson to teach them. As children, our parents made an agreement with us through school, that we should not drop out of the first five in our class. Whether in primary school or university.
In return, they bought us the best video games, from Nintendo to Playstation, the finest clothes and every comfort in life they both thought we needed. Because of their agreement for us to be the best always in whatever we did. Don't get it wrong, they were not rich, but my parents worked all kinds of odd jobs, 2 to 3jobs each  they had. Just so they can honour their agreement to us  and not disappoint their children.
Today, people see my brothers and I to be extremely intelligent people. We are because we sacrificed also to make their hustle worth their while.
As I close, I'm asking you again, what is your agreement with the people you claim to love?
Is it a good one or a bad one?

It's up to you to decide.

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
