*Life: The Bitter- Sweet Magic God Gave Us*


The habit of obsessing over the idea of having a perfect life where you compress yourself into a focused point, means that you will suffer from tunnel-vision. Tunnel-vision means that you will miss much of life.
The perfect life is always around the corner, but the decent life is right here already if you can stop for long enough to see it.

Life can be described in just three words: Up and Down.  And that's how God created it.
We humans mistakenly expect life to be consistently Up.
It does not work like that in the scheme of things.

Life, along with all the natural human processes are cyclical (in the habit of repeating itself)
For instance your  personal energy  throughout life works cyclically no matter how balanced or imbalanced any lifestyle is.

Live a Life Without Judgements

We judge the life we are living because we want to know the answer before we understand the challenge.
We judge our own lives harshly and unfairly when we compare our lives to those we think have a better life than us.
The first step in moving past judgement of your life is releasing the need for an answer.
Instead of judging, form an opinion. Judgements are assumptions that usually do not change. An opinion, however, is an isolated view of the world that can change with the discovery of new thinking and  information.

Life-changing lessons

• Don’t bottle up your emotions, become self-aware and explore your emotions. Find an outlet such aswriting, meditation, or talking to a friend.
• Vulnerability takes courage. The gifts we unlock by being willing to be vulnerable far outweigh the difficulty in doing so.
• Show up, face fear, and move forward.Because fear and criticism will always be there in some form, the best course of action is always to show up anyway and move forward.
• Seek excellence, not perfection. Focus on realizing excellence, the best version of yourself despite your flaws.
• Dare to be yourself– in your strengths, skills, and beauty as well as your flaws and insecurities. In doing so, you can realize your true strength of spirit.

Adversity, failure, joy, success, pain, disappointment, victory, defeat and truimph are all part of the mixed varieties of this life that we have. Don't curse yourself or God when the bad times in life come, learn from it. Likewise, don't be too naive and ignorant to think your victories and successes will last forever now that you have suffered to achieve them. Prepare and plan for the sudden ups and downs, the unplanned responsibilities that comes with being successful. Because it will come and it is coming.
It has never changed for billions of years since creation. And it will never change for you or me. Today it's good, Tomorrow it may be bad.  Mature like a man or woman and adjust to each of its lessons.

This is life, a mix bag of bitter-sweet experiences

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

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...
