Quotes and gist that make a whole lotta sense… yep.. plenty sense

I HAVE SEEN…
I am wisdom, eat me and you will feed others, I am truth, drink me and you will thirst no more...
…practise what u preach.......conquer the flesh…
I have seen in this world that the greatest sin a man can commit is leading the same life he convicted others of living and doing the same things he complained others did, with or without realizing it...such a man is a hypocrite.....
But if a man overcomes such an act or behavior, he has conquered the flesh…
I have also seen that a man that is happy at the misfortune of others is nothing different from a man that is jealous of the fortune of others...
I have seen that the greatest love a man can give is showing love to another without expecting anything
in return....such a man has  conquered the flesh...
I remember that I am not perfect in all things, but I strive towards perfection, to be like Christ...and I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me...
I have also come to realize that true success is you outstanding yourself, by doing better than what you have done.
Basically breaking the record you have set ....your capacity your success...you have your potentials so you measure your success according to your potentials and your personal goals. As one of my mentors taught me, in the person of Myles Monroe he said and I quote "true success is what you have done compared to what you could have done" yeah I said this in the last article…this quote is the real deal,
I read it understood it and applied it, my God did it change my thinking and did it produce results? Yep it did, tremendously, I have since then seen success for what it truly is, even if we have world standards that kinda mislead us.
You cannot judge or gauge your performance by the world’s standards, what is your standard?
I believe it’s higher than the world's cos greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world...
Do not measure your performance with that of others, grow in doing better than what you did before, become your own success and you have become a better you!
Why do I write all this? you might ask, am working to be a better me, I write all this ish and principles so I do not go back and make the same mistakes that history made...u know what they say d fault is history.
Why do you read this? you might ask, to become a better you i'ld answer, we do all the things we do to become better persons on the inside and outside too,  and also to get knowledge or insight to things we do not know or things we wanna know, I’ld come back 2 that.
Let's cite a few examples, cynthia goes to the saloon to look good and presentable, she becomes a better person, lawal goes to school to get a degree in medicine, so he can graduate and practice being a good doctor, thereby becoming a better person.
You might ask again why do I use or say better and not best, it's because we become better or worse people everyday, just like knowledge you do not know everything and you have not achieved the highest you can yet, so far as ,you are still living, so we get better or worse daily through our thoughts, acts, decisons, those are  the three basic things that covers basically all human activities. So how you use this gifts of freewill is your choice, they can either make or mar you.
freewill?
Yes I said freewill, you can choose your thoughts, you can choose your actions, and note your thoughts determine your actions, remember "think before you act" it is left in your hands to decide to choose right or wrong thoughts and actions, its your decision! Pleassse don't blow it. Don’t! Am also talking 2 ma self, trust me.
Talking on knowledge, hmm it’s crazy we want to know everything, DON’T! Yes DON’T, for crying or out loud u cannot know everything curiosity kills bro. It does. Listen up and think about this… why did God tell Adam and Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit? Answer, because they would get the knowledge of good and evil, the what the knowledge… if you know too much u get confused, reasoning kills, too much of it. Don’t get me wrong am not saying u shouldn’t think, obviously u got to think and reason, but put ur mind where it should be, u have control over it, choose your THOUGHTS CAREFULLY, full of care aite. Let me leave u wif this, Joyce Meyer in her bestseller Battle field of the mind said “ I must grow to the point where I am satisfied to know the one that knows even if I myself do not know” please think about it will save u a whole lotta trouble, except u like trouble sha, just playing. And also do not engage in discussions and arguments that lead know-where, u dig nowhere know-where? I too know. Trust me most of us do.
Someone once said, “you do not know how strong you are until u are hurt by those you love and those you hold in high esteem” hmm I don’t know why I just wrote that but I think it’s for someone or maybe I just want to write everything in one article. Am giggling now…
Well well  let's all take a chance let's keep hope alive, with hope we have that chance to have a firm stance, and to take that glance into the future, for in hope we keep tomorrow alive...
God bless you.

dRY mARTini on Love

Hi, wow its January d 14th, 8:31am, am chilin here trying to write somfin about "love" for the next issue of one magazine like dat, don't know if u heard about the mag sha, it’s called Yada... u need to know...or somfin like that, the mag sha makes sense, a whole lotta sense, i think u should check it out, em u can download it free online. For now! sha, cos u know we gotta get that dough to continue baking... ha.. It has loads of cool and inspiring stuff just for you... so go get yours now!...like that "Eclairs" advert.
Okay! Before i stray too far, cause we really gotta go far.. yeah.. em as i said or wrote earlier anyone you prefer, today is Jan 14th wow, my dads buffday, yeah true..hmm dat should get me in the mood don't you think, am not sure if its enough em lets see, em okay! I gat it, yeaaah tomorrows her birthday Jan the 15th yeah wow, i think am so in the mood to tell you a thing or two about love from what i've seen, heard and basically know.
LOVE, love love love love LOVE,,, you might say, a warm feeling you have towards someone, chill first abeg, hold up.. wanna know if we are on the same page, em we gat Gods love for us soo unconditonal, meaning God loves you despite your sometimes strange conditions, if u are mad,crazy,heartless, proud or stupid he still loves you, you understand sha God loves you so much he gave his only son, the story of salvation. Then we gat the love u wanna  share with someone, yeah the one u wanna read about now, u are there saying write somfin already we are on the same page dude. okay!
Love, it’s all around us, it’s in us too, u give it, u show it to ur  loved ones or twos just kiddin, dis is serious business okay to ur girlfriend, boyfriend, husband ,wife,ur partner basically sha.
One guy said ”I have seen that the greatest love a man can give is showing love to another without expecting anything in return....such a man has  conquered the flesh..., hmm what do you think?…
Another guy sayz love is indigestion hmm, funny, he explains; when u feel all weird inside and everything is spinning and you feel funny inside, its not love its just ur stomach that’s upset. Don’t ask me why its upset, maybe u offended it or somfin  I dunno.  Same guy said love is the law of diminishing returns” I think he needs a little insight don’t u think?
Then a girl sayz “ I have this warm cold fuzzy feeling, I gat goose pimples all over, I think am in love then she shouts YES!  Am in love... then that same guy says, NO ur not in love I think u have the flu.
We all have our several and different perceptions on love u know, well I agree with what the first guy said….
“the greatest love a man can give is showing love to another without expecting anything in return”
We've heard it again and again...love is giving and giving is living. Yeah I believe if you are in love or u love someone, u give! What do u give u might ask. It goes beyond material things which are obviously necessary.  You give ur time, attention, support, respect, ur opinion. Basically your all to that someone,  yeah I know most of us are afraid to commit cos we still gat some jerks out there who would break hearts in 2,3,4 or even 5 places, just imagine (am not sayin you should give ur body and everything if u not married oh! U go like marry first naa).  People are weird and angry and some are just wicked you agree with me right? They have issues, as in numerous issues like a lot of magazine issues, so they decide to hurt others cos they’ve been hurt before.
Love in respect to most relationships today is seriously depleted, we all know that, people date to feel among, some to get money, using what they want to get what they have... sori it’s the other way round, yah, what they have to get what they want…. It’s a crazy world u’ld agree, but still in the world’s insanity you can find some  sanity….yeap, when u find that person. Chill it starts like this- you like her, she has the qualities u desire in a girl, u ask her out, and she thinks about it and thinks u joking, cos u probably were not so serious about it, I mean the question just came outta the blues, she sayz no; that she appreciates you as a friend, hmm. Then u chill a while think about the whole stuff, a little hurt though, but do you blame her, she’s protecting herself u know. You think about it and u can’t just help it when u are around her you just feel happy and so right, so you ask her again and she tells you she’d think about it, she does cos she kinda likes you too. So she asks God and he gives her an answer, ohh! THe GOD FACTOR so important! Don’t forget that, cos God  helps you guys grow in love and understand each other to tolerate the flaws you both have and basically help each other to grow, wow wow slow down mein she hasn’t even said yes yet bro take it easy. OK as I was saying after Gods reply she calls for you guyz to gist about the whole stuff and talk about what you guys really want, yes you have the talk; define the relationship before you enter into one. And during the talk you find out other interesting and wondaful things u never knew about her (the power and importance of communication hmm, very important) then FINALLY!!! She says yes, YES! You guys start and u start having doubts, stupid doubts, then you realize you are just doubting stupid, please trust her “never doubt her heart for you” then you start growing in love, growing in the confidence to love each other. You guys grow are happy together and u feel this peace and correctness that tells you u doin the right thing,  u grow to love each other, note I said grow, not fall, I believe we grow in love, then u can also say when u fall in love u don’t hit the ground because the other person catches u before u fall, like say he be superman or she be wondawoman… it sha makes sense to say fall in love too so far u no touch ground, but If u hit ground u go sha get back up naa. As I was saying, u grow in love, and you decide to love each other, DECIDE, just like marriage it’s a commitment cos things happen u get to know eachother better and see some sides of the one u love u’ve neva seen, and u learn everyday, u keep learning and understanding eachother, cos u don’t know him or her fully and u can’t totally, u learn till like eternity, so it makes love an adventure, u help her wif her weaknesses, she does same, and it makes loves much more interesting if you lovebirds ain’t too alike, but you gotta have ur commons, ur similarities u know? I know u know. Wel wel u keep growing and loving eachother, and ..and and  em and keep growing, wel am still growing so! so am gonna stop here for now and if JESUS tarries if you guyz are good, as in no wahala, I believe its her u will marry.
Why I agree with the definition of love by the first guy is if the whole world keeps giving love, tada! The whole world receives so a whole lotta giving a whole lotta receiving.
Yeah, whoa, her birthday is like tomorrow, hmm and my God in exactly a month’s time it’s the 14th of FEB, whoa, watch out seems like Cupid just struck…yeee!   God day, and as long as am in his hood  I’d be in the right mood, and ma love would be good. Haaaa bros na by force rhyme, its not the time to rhyme .
Love-give- receive, love -give- receive, it’s a cycle, enjoy!
               

JUST BECAUSE I DON’T DO WHAT YOU DO, DOESN’T MEAN I AM DOING THE WRONG THING.

You know therez this myth of people seeing others as either incapable or misdirected just because others do different things from what they do. It goes both ways either u feel u are incapable or not doing the right thing cos u see som1 else achieving somfin, (I mean probably that thing isn’t ur priority) then the other way round, when the person that seems to be achieving somfin great sees u as incapable because u simply not achieving what he’s achieved or doing what he’s doing.

Hmm, it’s simply an issue of priorities, likes, dislikes and interest, basically. Let’s take an instance, where u love business, as in, emm, u love to look for opportunities to make money, invest here, buy this there, save in this bank e.tc. and on the other hand the other fellow, loves say Art, and he is into card designs, logo, portraits and all. Hey, his Art is his business, he doesn’t like to do the whole forex, save ur money there, buy shares here, he rather invests in what he loves doing, Art, and just keep his money in probably just a current account. And the investment guy comes along and starts telling the Art guy u gotta invest here and invest there, and the Art guy isn’t taking buy the craze of doing forex and co. but rather into investing in his enterprise. Then the forex guy maybe sees his friend as incapable or the Art guy if he is confused whether to invest or not, probably sees himself as not doing the right thing cause he is not doing what every other person is doing.

Point am trying to make is we all have our different priorities, different potentials to achieve our different goals and aspirations. Your success is your success, her priorities is not his priorities even if u are in the same class. As the Chancellor of Covenant University, Bishop David Oyedepo sayz “twenty friends don’t play for twenty years”.

So it’s a problem of priorities and interest aite, am goin tell u to do what u love doing, do not get distracted by what u see others achieving and also do not look down or judge others cos they do not do what u do, I mean WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT! Right?

Make sure u sha do the right thing, as said earlier, PRIORITIZE, donot COMPROMISE, so u can REALIZE, that dream u’ve always FANTASIZED about, and u can finally see them come true, through your EYES.

Yours wittingly,

dRY mARTini.
