Work and happiness

Work and happiness are like mother and daughter; work brings forth happiness, but hard work brings great happiness!

According to Theodore Isaac Rubin, “Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best”. What every difficult task awaits you comes along with a concentrated volume of happiness. Don’t run away from difficult tasks!

“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values”, said Ayn Rand. William H. Sheldon confirmed it by saying “Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation”. Pursue the dreams you have on paper. If hard work is the source of happiness, then we can conclude that the main job of procrastination is to delay that happiness and excuses kill it!

“Pleasure” is different from “happiness”. It has its own definition. Pleasure may or may not come from hard work; Pleasure may or may not come from sin; However, happiness is divine and comes from fulfillment!

It’s great to feel happy. Go, do what makes you feel happy. Do it hard and feel the hardest happiness!

Creeds for Aspiring Achievers- by Israelmore Ayivor

You have what you need in you!

The best university in the world is neither Oxford nor Harvard. The best university is "youniversity". You got the lecture halls of thoughts in you! You got the everything you need to graduate with first class accomplishments put in you!

You are not the person people think you are. People who think you "dining hall" are not aware that you are rather a "community" with many amenities! If you see yourself as other people see you, it means you are lost, you don't know yourself and you have closed down a world class university of diligence!

My friends, life is so serious that the if you are not aware of who you are, your "Youniversity" may be prestigious but unknown! If you don't know yourself, go explore the universe; think of what you can do best; keep learning new things; ask yourself mysterious questions; never give up on what you are doing; team up with intellectuals and get on board to discover a dream, a vision, and a reason for your life!

Enroll in your body soul and spirit and engage your time to do what you know best. Dedicate yourself to the work at hand and you will be rewarded by the fruits you will bear!

Go, discover yourself!

Raise the bar!

Inferiority complex means to see yourself lower than what you got to confront; Superiority complex on the other hand is to see yourself greater than them!

Superiority complex does not mean "pride" although it appears to be so in the eyes of those who want to see it so. When you feel a higher esteem over the obstacles you desire to surmount, you highly overcome them and can still count a reserved energy to spare!

People with inferiority intentions do not go after their dreams not because they can't go; but because their passion is not strong enough to turn the wheels of success...and there they go, becoming losers, defeated by their obstacles!

In every dream you pursue, you attract it's respective version of opposition. Going back will not solve any problem; Regrets will not change anything either; Superiority should be your priority!

You are powerful beyond measures! You are superior to your opposition! Its time to make a change in the world. Remember, that change begins with the powerful You!

God alone knows best!

I get confused when a young person dies and everyone goes like "he died an UNTIMELY death"! The question is "how many years have you given to him or her to know if his current age has not reach the one you gave out?" If you don't give a number of years to someone to live, how can you know whether he exhausted them or some are left before he died?

I begun to learn lessons in life and somewhere along the line at age 16 when I lost my Dad, I concluded these three keys at that sad and cold night when I couldn't sleep due to the sad news. I called them "The three keys of mystery". Later at age 22, I watched Dr. Myles Munroe in a video where he shared "five (5) keys to set man out of depression". It's awesome my three keys of mystery appeared among the five. These I share;

1. You cannot be responsible for somethings that happen on earth. You may attempt to act, God God alone will decide. Somethings are mysteries!

2. You can't control some things that are moving; give them way to pass else they crush you woefully with painful regrets!

3. You can't know and understand everything that happens on earth. You can't explain why they happen; only God can do that, so stay away!

These keys are still fresh in my mind and in times like these where a young energetic man like Komla Dumor should pass on! This principles set me at peace in times of sadness! The one who controls our existence is above. Anything that afflicts our emotions should be channeled through to our maker; he has the best answer I believe is answer regins irrespective of our opinions and experiences about life!

Our required action in times of hurt should never be "silence in times of prayer", but "passionate in prayer and silence in times of expectations"!

God alone knows the business plan he has. Let's not distracted God with our words in time of pain!

God, take your seat, we can't occupy it!

Persistence is the key!

The chance that you will become a master in something after the first attempt is neither here nor there. You don't get master's degree by attending school on the first day of your life! Time will tell, so you got to persist!

You got insist on your success, resist every obstacle and persist in times of difficulty and you will get there. Every tree in the forest has a story to tell. Some of them were burnt but they endured the fire and got revived; Some of them were cut, their barks injured, some people pick up their leaves to make medicines for their sicknesses, birds used their leaves to make their nests, etc. Upon all these, the tree is still tree!

The first attempt may fail, but it does not create room for excuses. It's said that people who give excuses for the reason not do something always formulate those excuses, waiting for the reason to surface to justify their excuses! Majority of excuses are deliberate attempts to keep success far away!

Never be impressed by calling attentions that tell you to give up! Insist, Resist and Persist to the end!

Make extra-large impacts!

The size and height of the tree determines how heavy the ground will shake when it falls. The cassava tree falls and not even the pests in the forest are aware. The baobab tree falls and the whole forest looks empty!

What makes the forest to appear empty when a mighty tree falls? Guess. It's the influence, the dominance, the exceptional and outstanding height that give the forest a name. Such is the life of human beings!

People who make great impact are well remembered due to the empty seats that remain after their death. It takes time to fill the empty seats that are left unoccupied by people who walked great in great footprints.

What are you doing today to make a great impact on earth after your demise? Think about it! You may or may not be a famous person to answer this question. How many hearts have you been able to inspire and impress by your sense of existence?

Live life so well that, even if you die, the empty seats behind you will tell the story that, "yea, this soul did what God sent him/her to do". Give life and hope into your family, village, community, country, continent and the world at large. You can do it!

I wish you all a fruitful life (a life that has fruits). I love you!

The most wanted leader!

Great leaders are most wanted. They are most wanted for what they do with their gifts and talents. Their dreams are so unique in such a way that their presence becomes a source of hope and courage for others to thread on along. Why won't they look for them?

Do people need you? Is someone relieve or impressed by what you always do, say or suggest? With your own analysis, do you need yourself?

I don't mean "to be most wanted for the wrong reasons". Live your life in such a way that you will be most wanted for the right reasons! Optimize every bit of opportunity you encounter so that your inventions and innovations will receive recommendation from people who need the fruit of your tree!

Whatever dream you have is meant to lead people in the right direction. Do not neglect it. You are potentially a good leader when you decide to plant your dreams. Go, plant them and it will yield if you are there for it as a good gardener! A good Gardner is a great leader!

Long live Jesus, Long live your dreams!

Position demands work!

One major factor that makes most achievers to fail is their ability to know where they are going and becoming unaware of what they will have to do when they get there!

It tells about why most politicians can be aware of the offices they will occupy when they win elections and when they eventually win, they become concerned about filling their pockets instead of listening to the voices of the people!

The vision of life is not a "discovery"; it's a "work" and whatever position you occupy demands work. Your life may not be built on your visions if you get there and find yourself doing the vice. Getting there should be a priority; but being aware of the reason for getting there should be the focus!

Never climb the tree with the reason of plucking a fruit; only to get there and pick a leaf. Let everything you get there to do be done and let it be done well!

Good night and Cheers!

Your dreams can jump with joy!

When you are happy for other people's dreams, your dreams start jumping up with joy. Elizabeth was happy with Mary and her dream baby was jumping in her womb for joy!

Selfish people do not make it in life with joy. Your joy must lead to the joy of another person. Likewise, another person's joy should make you happy! This was how Jesus lived. His compassion was meant to make the hopeless people regain happiness and hopeful people get more hope!

When your friend rejoices and that becomes the reason why you frown your face and he/she goes down, that defines your happiness, go and watch yourself. I believe something definitely went wrong with you! Your dream wanted to jump up with joy, but your inability to accept your friend who is doing it greatly and give him or her more hope may be the reason why it had a still birth!

Go, say Hi to the very one you never gave that hope! Elizabeth is leading the way... Let's follow... One, two three…

Negative brands on the market...

Whatever you do gives you the name it gives. When you do a negative thing, you give a negative impression about yourself to those who watch or get to know you. That is your brand. For the sake of your dreams, don't create negative brands for yourself, else you scare away opportunities that are meant to be your turning point! Below are some negative brands you may hear or experience. It goes with what people say about how you behave.... e.g.;

>> That is the nurse who shouted on me when I was admitted at the hospital!
>> That is policeman who took 1 GH C from our driver when we were on the journey!
>> That is the pastor who advised me to go for a second wife when my first wife was giving me trouble!
>> That is the teacher who coerced me to make love with him so that he will give me a better mark in the examination!
>> That is the friend who betrayed me yesterday for the seventh time only in this week!
>> That is the lady who disappointed me when I caught her doing it red-handed!
>> That is the young man who cheated on me and told me lies upon lies!
>> That is the politician who promised to give us the moon for free, but has never lend us a torchlight
>> That is the driver who always disrespect traffic rules
>> That is the lawyer who took bribe to make my case flopped!

That is him.... There she is!

Avoid every opportunity that calls itself a privilege and is meant to create a feature of negative brands on you. Stay blessed and advice your conscience!

Team up with the giants!

Pure gold does not rust. Only gold alloys do so. You may have golden dreams. But if you go in the company of toxic people, your become "a gold alloy" and what that means is that you can rust at any time!

People went rushing and they never knew. Take time and re-examine your dreams. Now, think about the company you keep. Are they parallel? If not, please advise yourself!

You are a gold by divine authority. Go closer to gold and you will shine together; go closer to something that cannot shine and you will dim your light!

Be careful when choosing a friend!

God knows you!

A manufacturer does not finish making his products before asking "what will I use this for"?. He knows the reason why he is making it and makes it to fulfill that reason! God knows why he was creating you before he did so. It's not now that He will think of what to use you for...

May He guide you to make the right choices!
May He equip you to follow the right directions!
May He save you to pursue your ideal dreams!
May He empower you to do all things meant for you!

He can do it... He has done it! Never look down on upon yourself because God did not look down on His creative abilities when He was about to create you. Whatever reason He has for your life will come to pass if only you are walking on His path. Remember, your great riches are on the ways God created. If you miss the way, you are automatically missing the great treasures!

Walk on the way!

Creeds for Aspiring Achievers- by Israelmore Ayivor

Don't rush to judge!

Before you point fingers at someone, clean them well. You better remove that log on your lens before you can see the speck on someone's own afar!

Sometimes you'll remove the log from your own eyes and to your amazement, you will see that your friend has no speck there after all the suspicions. You got to see before you judge!

Let it not seem to you that you are the only right person ever! "Whatever I say is final" is a statement of people who have unhealthy egos! Never be part of that sect.

One of the greatest ever statement that can keep your mind at peace is that "I am right, but I may be wrong"! Yes, you are right but you may be wrong!

Point fingers if only you clean the lines in your palms! If you can't clean the lines, don't point the fingers!

God's thoughts are on you!

God had not created anyone with the idea of destroying him or her later in life. He has a reason for creating you and he is ready to guide you to make it come to pass if only you give him a chance to do so.

God's thoughts for you are not thoughts of failure, suffering and chronic deprivation! You may go through a temporal hardship but remember, that is not going to last long; God will relocate you for your permanent identity when you permit him to come into your life.

The good book says His plans are meant to prosper us and give us and expected end, but not to harm us;

I decree and I declare;

We are sons and daughters with a perfect will. We are sons and daughters of a successful end. We are sons and daughters of prosperity. Ask why? It is because that is our fathers' thought concerning our lives. It will never fail in Jesus' name!

We will live to give the Lord his due praise! With him, we can do it. Amen!.

#UcanDoIt. Great day!
