Go to bed early and get up early.  Staying awake while tired will make you feel more tired and irritable the next day. It’s almost never worth it to stay up late watching t.v. or getting extra work done. You’ll be more efficient if you start your day earlier and you won’t have to live with the hangover of being tired from the night before. Start your day off in silence.  No phone, t.v., internet, stressful conversations, etc. Enjoy the quiet of the early morning. Pray, write down your thoughts, read a book. Drink plenty of water. Especially in the morning. Drink two glasses of water upon waking up, before eating anything. Drink a glass of water 30 mins before every meal and 1-hour before bed. If you’re going to drink something with a meal, hot water or tea is better for digestion. Don’t wait too long to get up and start moving around.  After you’re done with your quiet reflection time, go for a walk or do some things around the house. Sweep the floor, ...

Most of us don’t like silence, because it forces us to confront ourselves. And sometimes what we find staring back is emptiness. We’re also afraid of silence, because we equate silence with insignificance. We want to be heard and seen. We want to make ourselves relevant. We want tobe somebody in the eyes of others. The desire to make ourselves feel relevant can be very strong. But in our questto be heard and noticed and thought well of by others we often drown out ourinner voice. We’re constantly in search of something we already have. We already have everything we truly need within us. The peace we seek is not out there somewhere. It’s in the here and now, in this moment, within us. If you want to know yourself, turn off the T.V., the radio, the internet and therunning dialogue in your head. Go to a quiet place and spend time alone. This is where you’ll meet yourself. This is where you’ll learn what’s truly important to you. While sitting in silence we can hear and see things we...

Seek out positive messages Spend time reading, watching or listening to things that inspire you and give you hope. Don’t settle for fluffy messages though. Keep an eye out for positive but realistic messages. Fluffy messages might make you feel good in the moment, but they’re not your friend in the long-run. They can lead you down the wrong path. Give yourself an outlet Write down your thoughts in a journal. Actually, you don’t even need a journal. You can just grab a piece of paper and write down everything you’re thinking. Then rip it up and throw it in the garbage. At least you’re getting your thoughts out in the open where you can see them. This makes it easier to let them go. Ripping the paper up and throwing it in the garbage is also a way of letting go. Have a candid conversation with someone you trust. Do work that’s import to you. Even if you can only do it on the side. Get involved in something that’s important to you or create something that’s important to you. Th...

A new car, a new house, a new job, a new relationship, they seem virtually flawless in the beginning. But as time goes on, we start to see the imperfections. And eventually those imperfections become so glaring, especially in relation to what we think other people have, we think about trading up. The problem is, we’re comparing what we have intimate knowledge of, with things we only know superficially. Often, the grass really does look greener on the other side. And most of the time it’s not. We keep fooling ourselves into thinking that perfection exists somewhere out there. We keep thinking we can trade up. But often we end up with a new set of imperfections that we must learn to tolerate or overlook. How will you know if what you’re trading for is actually better, if the grass merely seems greener? And what happens after we make the trade and realize we were wrong? We’ll either have to admit it to ourselves and try to go back. Though going back usually isn’t an option. Or we can...

It’s tempting to try to start big. To try to become an overnight success. But such thinking causes us to risk too much. And it tends to set us back further than we would be if we had just stared out the window instead. At least staring out the window sometimes leads to insight. When we hear about someone else’s success, it seems like it happened overnight. But we weren’t there with them in the trenches. We don’t know how much it actually took for them to get where they are. We don’t know what they learned along the way or what sacrifices they made. By trying to become an overnight success, you greatly increase your chances of becoming a long-term failure. You’re probably not going to be an overnight success, but you can be a twenty-year success. Realistically, that’s what it’s going to take. Start small and stick with it. That is the way. Plant the seeds for the life you want. Keep watering them, and over time they will grow. We can have many of things we want if we’re willing to d...

Pamela, a primary school teacher, was transferred to a different school and immediately apponted as a class teacher of a standard five class.

Ash Wednesday is the first of day of the Lenten season in the Church calendar. It is 40days excluding Sundays which is not included because it is the day of the Lord’s resurrection(Lord’s day) from Easter Sunday. The number “40” is a special number in Christiandom which also correlates with the number of days Christ spent in the wilderness. This day is usually marked by Episcopal/Orthodox churches with Mass/Service. It is a solemn day not a feast hence it is WRONG to say “Happy Ash Wednesday”. SIGNIFICANCE  Ash gotten from burning last year’s palm fronds is usually applied on the foreheads of the faithful on this day. It signifies the following:  1. Act of mourning: in biblical Jewish practice,a sinner pours ash on his body and puts on sack Cloth to seek the forgiveness on God (Jonah 3:5-6). Likewise on this day we mourn our going away from God’s commands and seek his forgiveness. That is why the Priest/deacon when putting the ashes says the words “Repent, and believ...

I Had A Dream Last night I had a dream, I dreamt of rivers, I dreamt of streams, I dreamt of the big blue sky, I dreamt of the animals down and the birds flying high. I dreamt of a world where no one knew what was hate, I dreamt of a time where nobody would curse their fate. I dreamt of people who's hearts were filled with love, I dreamt of adults who's mind was pure as a dove. I dreamt of a day when no child would go hungry to bed, I dreamt of a world where everyone would share their bread. I dreamt of a world of forgiveness and compassion, I dreamt that the world was a family & helping each other was their passion. I woke up in the morning to a world that my dream hardly knew, But then I jolted myself and promised that I gotta make this dream come true!  No discussing brand new crushes, No acting insane together, no arguments that are baseless. Life is definitely nothing without friends, And that's why I never want this friendship to ever end.

You are brave, you are resilient. You are savvy, you are entrepreneurial, and unlike the generations that have come before you, you are much hungrier for success. You call your ambition, “your hustle”, and you have several of them because you are tireless and eager to achieve financial independence – no matter how elusive it appears. You are optimistic but you are also anxious. You have seen others toil long and hard for economic security in vain, decades of labour without fruit. Some of your friends may have discussed emigrating with you – legally or illegally, and some may have lost their young lives crossing the Mediterranean in search of a future overseas where their talents are recognized and rewarded. You may even know a few in Libya, unsuspecting victims to the ugly acts of slave trade. A combination of these factors has left you disillusioned and disconnected. You don’t believe in politics. There is no use in getting involved. You have seldom experienced good governance, so yo...

It’s truly elusive out what men think, in light of the fact that every individual has his own point of view on life and how to be taking things. In any case, many investigations have demonstrated that there are sure attributes of ladies that men think of them as unfathomably appealing. On the off chance that you promptly believed that it was excellence, they are incorrect, there are numerous different components that men take a gander at you, and you don’t know about it. These are some of them: 1. Kinship Most men need to have the capacity to converse with his accomplice about everything, of the real issues and circumstances when they require its help to all the easily overlooked details that had occurred amid the day. This element is especially powerful on the grounds that they realize that such a lady can genuinely trust. 2. Freedom Free lady is a magnet for men. Freedom is not quite recently money related (however they don’t have anything against it), yet what a lady nee...

It was a cloudy Friday evening, Daddy and mommy left in the morning for something urgent in the village and they will be staying for the weekend, so it’s just me and Aunty Nkechi, I just got home from school. I was so hungry (I didn’t eat that cold indomie mama put in my flask earlier today), so I rushed off to the kitchen. Instead of finding food, I was graced by the presence of Aunty Nkechi’s boyfriend. I really do not know what she sees in this guy, he has this smell that makes me want to puke anytime he passes by. As usual, I greeted him, but he didn’t respond. I guess he was lost in his own world because he was busy licking his lips disgustingly, or was he hungry? After the awkward moment with Uncle Kene,I went to my room murmuring out of hunger and anger, without noticing that Aunty Nkechi wasn’t even at home. The hunger won’t let me sleep or do anything for that matter, I called out for Aunty Nkechi but I couldn’t find her, Uncle Kene told me that she went to the market. Disa...

How to manage Anger. "  Understand this, my brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.     JAMES 1:19-21" Anger is one of the poisons that eat up the world today, similar to cancer, and it eats every intestine in life. It breeds violence, death, wars and corruption. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility or antagonism towards someone, usually combined with an urge to harm.
