MAKE THE BEST OF YEAR 2017


Tips to make the best of year 2017... May we all have a successful YEAR...
1. Know what you want.
Maybe you have a talent you have longed to express and develop. If not, you probably know how you would like to be experiencing your life- perhaps with more happiness, better communications with the ones you love, greater fulfilment in your work. Knowing is deeper and stronger than wishful thinking or hoping. It is a conviction so solid that you can base your life on it.
Quote: “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.”
Benjamin Franklin.
2. Engage with your intention.
Daily nurture your vision- see, feel, hear how you will be experiencing the fulfilment of the life you want, both inwardly and in the world. Use your imagination.
3. Practice your passion - take action
If you have a talent, keep working with it. If you would like to be happier, do things that make you happy. Better communications? Be willing to learn, practise, improve- and make mistakes from time to time. Your intention will speak volumes. Fulfilment? Adjust your attitude.
Quote: “Nothing will work unless you do.” Maya Angelou
4. Raise your energy - turn up the heat.
Love yourself and be grateful for all you have in your life, right now. Pay attention to your blessings. Look up. Learn to forgive and laugh at the mistakes you make along the way.
Each day, feel the enthusiasm for your vision, as if it has already happened. Stay open for the remarkable to take place. It will.
Quote: "There are two ways to live your life- one is as though nothing is a miracle; the other is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein
5. Gather positive people around you.
At the very least, spend time with people who are supportive and for you. Enrich yourself by getting to know others who are actively creating the best for themselves, and learn from them.
Quote: "If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind." Norman Vincent Peale
6. Get rid of what is unnecessary.
Clear the clutter! Life leans with only that which you need around you. The feeling of freedom you gain will liberate you closer to what you really want.
7. Organize yourself for success.
Find ways of dealing with life's necessities so that you are not distracted by them. Only agree to do what you will actually do. Learn to say no to what does not fit for you.
Quote: “If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” Thomas A Edison
8. Set no time limits.
Learn to live in the present moment and respond to your intuitive guidance. There are times when to act; times when to hold. You will get to know which is which.
Quote: "We have time enough if we will but use it right." Johann Wolfgang von Geothe
9. Believe in yourself - believe in your vision.
Feeling doubtful? In these challenging times, young children may teach us something. As adults, we can also be persistent in going for what we value.
Consider the words of Imogen, walking with her father in the park, and Stephanie, her tv heroine:
Quote: So I'm in the park with my just-turned-three-year-old daughter when she asks:
“Daddy, can I have an ice cream”? I don't think we have time. We've got to go soon.
“There is always a way, Daddy”. What? “Stephanie says, there is always a way”! Who says? “STEPHANIE!”
Quote: "A visionary is one who can find his way by moonlight, and see the dawn before the rest of the world." Oscar Wilde
10. Treasure yourself.
Do the things that show you care for yourself: eat foods that serve your body; drink plenty of water; get enough sleep; exercise regularly; make time and space for fun; stay focussed on your vision and intention. Taking care of your health is a wise investment of your time and attention.
Quote: "The diamond you are, you wear within you. You can call on its beauty and power when you want to stand forward and dazzle." Random Soul 7

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO

“I was the only constant thing in her life, I’ve always been” he said. I didn’t know what else to say, so I asked what he meant by the word ‘constant’. Here’s his story. Well, I’ve been dating for more than four (4) years now, and somehow id always known she’d had series of flings (sometimes she also knew I was aware of them), but then she always knew I was where she belonged and therefore doesn’t indulge in one for long. While paying my utmost attention to him, I asked in a soft voice “so she was always cheating on you?”. “Not really, I wouldn’t call it cheating”, he answered. “So what would you call it?” I asked. “Well, em, em.., it’s like test, testing other people”, he stuttered. In short she was never faithful with you? Besides, what would happen if she tested and tasted someone better than you? I queried. “It’s not ever been faithful but not totally faithful” he answered trying to defend her. Scoffing I said, what else, anything yet I need to know? Yeah, most times s...

SORRY

At the beginning of 2017, I started writing about forgiveness, up till this very day, the article is still a “work in progress”. What prompted me to write about something I would not finish still baffles me, it is still my longest unfinished work. Just a month and few days before I started writing forgiveness, someone who was a great part of me did something really bad, something I wouldn’t have done to anyone, even my greatest enemy. I told myself I’ve forgiven the person but at the same time I did not really want to have anything to do with the person again. Maybe that was really the cause of my “forgiveness” woe. One bizarre fact about me is that I am a kind of guy that doesn’t really show his emotion, I am the type that would smile through hardship, failure and other bad stuffs, crying isn’t just for me, nay. I would rather smile a damning smile than allow people to start asking questions or start consoling m, but there had been two occasions where I couldn’t fight it and both we...

TOMORROW IS NOT GUARANTEED

Coach Antwon Taylor wanted to tell Quentin Fields, one of his players how proud he was of him but couldn’t because of the excitement of seeing head coach Lucas Scott back from his sabbatical. “Well, I would see him tomorrow”, he told Luke. Little Jamie Lucas Scott asked his mom Haley to make a cape for his friend Quentin. After days of making the cape, she finally told her son the cape would ready the following day and would be giving to Q. Quentin Fields told his teammates he would be the first to get to training the following day. He also assured Nathan Scott he would meet him at Rivercourt the following morning to help him (Nathan) with his recovery and what he called comeback for Nathan. *********************** It was in the middle of the night; head coach Lucas Scott was sleeping when he got a call, just like his assistant Antwon Taylor. Few minutes later, Antwon was at his house asking if he got any call and if it were true. Well, it was, the call was real. Quentin Field...
