EVERYONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY........

SO I READ SOMWHERE, ‘I’LL RATHER BE A CONCIOUS MANIPULTOR THAN AN UNCONCIOUS VICTIM…… SOME DAYS LATER, I READ FROM ANOTHER I’L RATHER WANT TO BE SURPRISED WHEN….(FILL IN THE GAP) COMES, THAN SECRETLY SMILING THAT MY LITTLE SCHEME WORKED.

OKIES, SO WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK? CONCIOUSLY MANIPULATING SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU WHICH EVER WAY TO ARRIVE AT A DESIRED END, OR WAITING PATIENTLY TILL EVERYTHING WORKS OUT?

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE POINT AT WHICH WE ARE IN OUR LIVES, TO A VERY LARGE EXTENT, IS THE RESULT OF DECISIONS WE HAVE MADE OR NOT MADE OVER TIME.

WE ARE PRODUCTS OF OUR CHOICES.

THERE ARE MOMENTS IN OUR LIVES WHEN WE REACH A CROSS ROAD, BITTER, CONFUSED, ANGRY, OR FRUSTRATED, EVEN HAPPY, BUT THECHOICES WE MAKE DETERMINE OR HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THE REST OF OUR GOD GIVEN LIVES.

I READ IN THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE THAT "THERES IS A SPACE BETWEEN A STIMULUS AND RESPONSE". AND GOT THINKING, THAT SPACE IS THE CROSSROAD, AND IN THAT SPACE(THE POINT AT WHICH A DECISION MUST BE MADE) LIES OUR GROWTH AND HAPPINESS. SO IN THAT SPACE WHAT DECISION ARE YOU MAKING, WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THE STIMULI?

THIS IS ANOTHER YEAR, FIVE DAYS GONE OUT OF 366 DAYS. WE NEED GOD MORE THAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE.

AND IN THIS TIME OF FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL, BOKO HARAM, AND OTHER SOCIAL VICES, WHEN OTHERS ARE SAYING THERE IS A CASTING DOWN, WE CAN DECLARE BOLDLY THAT FOR US, "THERE IS A LIFTING UP".

 WHEN THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN OUR HEART'S, LET US SEEK A GOD WHO SEE’S WHERE MENS FRAIL EYES CANNOT’’
