SMILE YOUR WAY TO GREATNESS

9:11:00 am
Good morning sweets, how was your weekend? Mine was awe-mazing.... Lol! That means awesome and amazing. You should know why, I guess.

We concluded our seminar for the month of November and people still can't get over the experience. It was very insightful and our speakers dished heartily from their wealth of wisdom, I really appreciate God for that. If you weren't part of it this time, do well not to miss that of December.

So, to today's post!
One would wonder what does smiling have to do with greatness, and my response will be "Everything"

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 17:22 (AMP) that;

"A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing but a broken spirit dries up the bones"

You see?
It's a cheerful mind that works healing and a happy heart is good medicine too. This is not doctor's prescription, it's God's prescription.

You achieve greatness by making impact in people's lives and this you can't do with bitterness or anger in your heart. You can't give what you don't have.

A broken spirit dries up bones. That is to say, if you're bitter and angry, instead of healing people or solving their problems you dry them up and milk out the little life they have.

A happy heart is eager to do good and help others.
A happy heart percieves the needs and difficulty of others and seeks for ways to profer solution.
A happy heart attract opportunities.
A happy heart is a healing to someone else.

Happiness breeds greatness!
Smile your way to greatness this week!

Love you large
Live fearlessly.


TAKE INVENTORY

We want to run from a situation we find unbearable or full of pain... We just want to runaway from the inconveniences it brings and possibly run into another situation as quickly as possible not minding whether this new place is better, a direct replica of where we left or closely related to it. We just want to run!

You'll just want to run out and quickly run into another situation if you don't take an inventory of where you're coming from and why you left.

Why did you leave that relationship?
Why did you leave that job?
Why did you leave home?
Why did you drop out from that deal?
Why did you leave your clique?
Why did you leave your church?

You need to answer the question "Why" by taking inventory of
where you're coming from,
why you left and
where you're headed or will head next.

If this is not properly done, you get a repeat of what you're running from.

It's okay to walk away from situations and persons that don't serve our soul's purpose, but a detailed understanding and analysis of why we left will help us not to repeat the cycle.

If you left your church cause they weren't preaching the gospel, be sure your next stop has that gospel.

If you left your relationship because your partner was abusive or ungodly, be sure your next one isn't a repeat of the former.

Walking away from a situation gets lonely and we just want to settle at the next stop or lean on the available shoulder. But sweetie, it doesn't solve the problem.

Go back to your Memory Lane. Not to droll over or live in the past. But to take inventory of what really happened and what shouldn't repeat itself again in your next stop.

Have a wonderful day and live fearlessly
Love you large.

YOU CAN'T HELP HUMANS!

10:57:00 am
Say what?
No....... Amaka, of course I CAN! I'm a born helper.
Okay..... I hear you but sweetie there's this part of humans you can't help and you're about to find out.
--------------
You can position yourself and write on all the visible walls on how people should treat you, but because humans will always be humans, there's every possibility that they're not going to adhere to those rules of yours.

While your principle in life may be not to take insults from people, it doesn't stop them from hauling some at you at one point or the other.

You expect people to treat you nicely, respect you, correct you in love, appreciate you, love you aright, criticise you constructively and just be nice.... Yet they don't! Even when you teach them....

What's my point exactly?
You can't help humans always, especially with how they should treat you.

So who do I help then?
Help Yourself!

Help yourself with how you receive information people pass across to you either with their words, actions or atitude.

People are at liberty to act, but you have the power to choose how you'll respond to those actions.
You are that able.

Train yourself to not be ruled by the attitude of others. Instead of being ruled by them,
choose to rule your mind and emotions and don't let people get on your nerves always and steal your joy.

Choose to accept criticisms that are true regardless of how the information is passed across to you.

Choose to hold the key to your happiness instead of handing it out to those who may mishandle it and hurt you.

Choose to not take insults seriously, rather ignore the ignorance of the insulter, lol.

Above all! CHOOSE TO HELP YOURSELF cause YOU CAN'T HELP HUMANS!

Have a Fearless Weekend

MY CONSISTENCY BOOST

2:55:00 pm
Consistent service delivery is not moi moi neither is it agege bread, lol. I'm so guilty of starting so many things and stopping along the line when I'm discouraged or demands become very high.

This is why it's important that before you start out on your journey to phenomenal living, you ensure to count the cost. How long do you want to stay around? What will it require? Can you stand even when the odds are against you?

While counting the cost is necessary, the counted cost can cause you to not try at all or just quit. But like I always say, the duty of fear is to keep you safe and in keeping you safe it keeps you stuck.

The challenge most people are face when they decide to start living intentionally and fulfilling their purpose is the fear that they may not be able to continue. I had similar challenge too and it kept me stuck for a really long time.

However, so far so good, here are things that boost my consistency and has helped me stay around up till this moment, they are;

1. The person whose work I'm doing.
I always tell myself, "this is your Master's business and this is the reason He created you, so you have to stay on and give it your best"

2. People who have benefited from the little things I do.
Every purpose serves to fill a vacuum and meet a need. I feel motivated to keep up the good work when people connect with the things I do. This brings fulfillment that is beyond expression.

3. The calibre of people I surround myself with. The people you surround yourself with offline and online matter a whole lot. The kind of people I have around me do not take no for an answer. Everyone is working so hard and encouraging others to do same.

4. People who challenge me with "she go tire" bad belle people, lol. I value this set of people a lot. They dare me and I dare myself.

5. Things I write to challenge others.
I know I do a lot of post that motivate and engineer people to be more, and it will be a disappointment and failure on my part to send people to heaven and go to hell. God forbid! So, what I write challenge me too. And I need to lead by example.

6. My Purpose/Vision
This is the essence of my living. Without fulfilling my purpose I'm Walking Dead. And God forbid it that I live such life or go back to that kind of life again. Fulfilling my purpose is not negotiable no matter the circumstance I find myself.

7. The lives I'm yet to impact.
I know I have my audience and the crowd God has designed I impact. I also know that generations are waiting for my light to shine so that theirs can shine too. I choose and pledge not to be a barrier to them. When you shine your light, you help others shine theirs too.


Darling, if you're strong enough to dare yourself to start working on your purpose, any or all of these items above can help you stay consistent. What's important is that you make a move, don't worry so much about being consistent, it will take care of itself once you start.

Get unstuck and live fearlessly
