What terrifies you?

The most horrible word for a patient to hear is “die”
The most horrible word for a student to hear is “fail”
The most terrifying word to whisper to a rich man is “thief”
The most dangerous word a driver may not like to hear is “accident”

Which words look ghostly at you?
Why do they wear that terrific face?
How can you avoid them?
What will be the benefit of you avoiding them?

Identifying answers to these questions will keep self-made depression away for good. Identify the words that add no known value to you and baggage them for the garbage dump.

You are not immune to mistakes

A lot of people fail in life because they refuse to accept their mistakes and correct them. On the contrary, they either blame others for the mistakes they committed or they justify the wrong things they have done. If you keep defending your errors, you probably have no intensions to quit them. Know that as long as you remain a human, your spirit side may be perfect, but your flesh has possessive weaknesses. That tells you that in all you do, pursue excellence, but be aware you “may” have a pot-hole to fill. Instead of “NURSING” your bad deeds, rather “POLICEMAN” them for remand and trust me, they will get reformed sooner or later.

What are you taking for granted?

There are curves we see that possess the treasures we seek. However, a step to make and take those treasures is being neglected and this accounts for the failure of some people. The devil is fully aware that you have a charge to keep, a God to glorify and a never-dying soul to save, but what he can do to let those purposes fail is to make you rate them low. Max Luado saw this and cautioned; “the devil doesn’t have to steal anything from you. All he has to do is to make you take it for granted” Don’t neglect your talents. Don’t ignore your responsibilities. Don’t take your life for granted !!!.

Education has no end

Education never ends, so does studying. You need to keep learning something new everyday with the rise of a bright new sun! It doesn't matter whether you are young or old. Even before you attain pensioner's status, you keep learning, and you don't stop even as  a pensioner. If you have six years to go on pension, go and offer a 3 years' course before you go on the pension! If you have three years to go on pension, go and offer a two years educational course! If you have one year to retire, go and do a six months' academic course! If you have six months to retire, go and do a three months' course. If you have three months to retire, go and do a one month's course. Even if you have one day to retire, go and offer a 12 hours' course and continue learning after attaining pension! Education continues till we become unconscious of things that matter!

Today is yesterday's tomorrow

Don’t postpone what could have been done by you today based on the reason that there is hope for a better tomorrow. Tomorrow may come, but not in the way you expect it. When “tomorrow comes, it looks like no other day than today”. Many of us think of shifting our present tasks till we have a convenient time. Thus with the statement “I will do it tomorrow”. Let’s not forget that today is “a tomorrow” for a day just passed and gone. Anyone who says I will do something great tomorrow has probably said the same thing yesterday! To him, today doesn’t look like the tomorrow he boasted of because tomorrow is a future. Procrastination steals time; get armed against it now!

Be an example of the friends you wanted

"A man that has a friend must show himself as friendly" Proverbs 18:24
Its however absurd for you to expect friends to do something to you while you just sit back and look on. Is that not an cheat? Do unto others what you want them to do to you.

Don't expect to be loved if you don't love at first.
Don't expect to be favoured if you don't give favour.
Don't expect to be welcomed if you don't welcome.

Life is lived in a reciprocal way; you give and take. This tells that you can't and for that matter won't need to take away if you don't give. In front of the plane mirror, you can imagine what goes on there. If you smile at the mirror, it smiles back to you. Just frown at it and the image in it will look horrible to you, but that image is you! Don't do to friends what you do not want to be done to you by them!

The greatest right- "Right to make Choices"

We may talk of many claims backed by the law or constitution of our country. Yes, they are rights anyway. But the biggest, greatest, heaviest and widest right a person can enjoy as a citizen of the earth is "the right to make choices". This right is back by nature!

It is a fact that even our creator respects our right of choices, hence provided us with the the way that links Him to us, but expect us to either choose that way and be redeemed or neglect it and be condemned. This does not mean, He (Jehovah) creates our doom, but rather, it means He respect our views!

How are you using that right? Are you abusing it by your own hands, or someone is helping you to abuse it? Who do you choose as friends? What do you choose as you values? What do you choose to eat? How do you choose to behave? What do you choose to excel in? Life is all about choices!
Make your right choices in the following areas that count so much in our lives;

A-Attitude
C-Carrier
T-Talent
I-Initiatives
O-Orientation
N-Nutrients

Get up and take A.C.T.I.O.N now!
