Image
You are what you tell yourself .  Affirmations  play an important role in shaping how we live life every day and who we will become. There is power in the mind and there is power in what you say. The truth is that, NO ONE can break you – unless you allow them to. Other people’s opinions of you do not count unless you want them to.  What you tell that person in the mirror  every morning when you wake up to brush your teeth is what counts. Here are 10 things you should remind yourself of all the time.   10 Things You Should Remind Yourself of All The Time 1.) You are enough. People need to hear this all the time. There is nobody and nothing in the entire world that can complete you other than God.  You have got to realize that all you ever need to overcome and to thrive…lies right in you.  Don’t go seeking for validation  from elsewhere. Instead, look inside. Look how far you’ve come, all you’ve been through, and yet you are still standing strong. Let that push you and

The Russian defence ministry says it believes it may have killed the Isis leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in an air strike south of Raqqa, Syria. In a statement, the ministry said it was still seeking confirmation following the strike in late May. The air strike targeted a meeting of Isis leaders on 28 May, Russian news agencies cited the defence ministry as saying. “According to the information which is now being checked via various channels, Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was eliminated by the air strike, was also present at the meeting,” RIA news agency quoted the ministry as saying.

Should I Really Be Honest All The Time?

Image
For those who want the cliff notes version of a blog post, the simple answer is YES. Honesty leads to trust, and trust leads to a society that can work together. The ability to work together will give us the ability to have conversations and actions that can solve problems.  Taking this seriously though, is a real challenge. Sometimes, you have to go against the grain of society to be honest. But  my goal is ALWAYS to be trustworthy . That can only happen when I am honest in all conversations and interactions. This meant that I told my children the  truth about the  Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus,  and the  Easter Bunny  from their childhood. They experienced all of the joys and gifts from these characters, but always knew that it really was mom and dad. I desire for them to always know that I will tell them the truth. Some take this truth thing too far though. There is a right and wrong way to be honest. Below are some tips on how you can be honest the right way. How You Can

2019: North wants Buhari, even on wheelchair –ACF chieftain

Mohammed  Alhaji Yakubu is a member of the National Executive Committee of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), a socio-cultural and pressure group for northern Nigeria.  He was also the youth leader of the defunct Northern Union (NU) which was headed by late Olusola Saraki, the political godfather of Kwara state politics. In this exclusive interview, the ACF Chieftain said he believes the North would gladly support President Muhammadu Buhari, come 2019, even if he was running the country from a wheelchair.    President Muhammadu Buhari has gone back to London on health grounds. But some Nigerians are saying that his ill health has a political setback for the country, do you also think in that direction?

How To Increase Your Dedication To Work You Already Love

1.) Burn the boats. For too many people, we come to a crossroads. We must choose between work that we love AND work that pays the bills. This is a tough one!  You have bills to pay , kids to feed, and a reputation to think of.  But what if you were able to live your dream? I have read about guys that make a living taking other people fishing. Others make a living as tour guides in museums, or leading people on great adventures. These people are happy and feel complete. Maybe they could make more money in the board room or in the factory, but they will tell you that they would not really be alive. If you want to really feel dedication to work, to ‘ suck the marrow out of life ’, then start out by burning the boats.  Go for it!  Chase your dream while you are still young enough to experience it. Now I don’t mean leave your family. But make a plan to be  living your dream in a year, or maybe five . 2.) Focus on the portion of your work that you love. Every job   has portions th

It's no easy task, but here are some of the best tips and tricks for getting rid of the negative so you can make room for the positive.

AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE (OBVI) This sounds so obvious, but really, how often
