Morning Motivation- Friday

 

Good morning Champions,

Here's the concluding part of our series on the attributes of love. I hope you have been following?

Attributes of Love


1. Doesn’t revel when others grovel:

Do you take pleasure in the sufferings and downfall of others? Are you happy when it's someone else who's failing? If yes, then, you need to check your love tank. It's running out of "love gas". Be happy when you win, but, also commiserate with the person who lost. You might just be the inspiration they need to get up.


2. Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth:

 Doesn't seek to hide the truth. I have learned that no matter how bad the truth may seem, it is better told. It is like a salve. Although it might sting a little, it does more good to the individual than a lie. Remember, a lie is a lie, no matter the cloak you wear it.

 

3. Puts up with anything:

 This is termed endurance. How quickly do you toss things aside? How quick are you to throw in your towel in a situation? 

 When you pass through the hard times in life, do not try to bypass the process. Grit is needed for success.

 Stop looking for easy ways out and two-minute solutions. Get the experience you're supposed to acquire. 

 Remember, if you boycott a phase you were supposed to pass through today, life will demand it (the experience you were supposed to acquire in that phase) from you tomorrow. 

 

4. Trusts God always:

  In the face of adversity, one who truly has love turns to God for succor. No matter how his situation may seem, he knows and believes that the One he serves loves him too much to leave him stranded.

  

5. Always looks for the best:

With a properly conditioned heart, he reaches out for the best— best of results, best in people, the optimal version of everything.

When he gets something short of the best, he trudges on. 

This attribute comes after the previous ones. This is because, while looking for the best, we must be content with what we have, not jealous and we must be patient.


6. Never looks back, But keeps going to the end:

 Looking back is like thinking back on all the opportunities you missed while choosing what you chose.

 One sure thing that action does is that it makes you lose focus. The opportunities you look back on are gone and may never come. And, while you are looking, you may miss another. This throws one off balance.






These are the nuggets I have on love for now. I hope you learned something in the series? What did you learn?

Do well to practise them and expect great results. Succeed!

    I learned that love looks for the best. We need to see the best in others, encourage people to be the best version of themselves. Thanks so much for this piece

Funny Memories-1

This is a column containing funny memories. Things that happened in the past that make you laugh each time you remember them. How many funny memories do you have? How funny are they? Feel free to share your funny memories in the comment section. Here's one of my fun memories: I was barely three years old and my immediate younger sister was almost one year old. Her birthday was a few days away—Christmas day. Mother's birthday comes immediately after hers, the next day which is boxing day. PS: I have this memory etched in my brain but I do not know how. I remember every detail. Maybe it's because it's funny . Days to mom's birthday, she got a beautiful birthday cake. This cake was well decorated and looked appealing to us kids. It was a white cake with a red ribbon around it. It had small sugary details (crunchy drops of yellow icing round it) that one could pick off and lick— which child doesn't like sugar? At the time, I just couldn't imagine why mum didn...

World Sickle Cell Day

MY STORY It's not so easy living with my condition. Its almost like I was given a sentence before I even had the chance to live. Everyday is scary. I do not know if I'm going to have a crisis or not.  The crises are really painful but most of the pain I feel comes from my mind. I feel pain when I see the faces of the ones I love. They smile at me and act like all is fine around me but I know deep down that it hurts them to see me go through this. I found out about my status when I was twelve. On the morning of that fateful day, I broke down in class. Just after our morning assembly. It wasn't the first time but this was more painful than any other before it. I had to be rushed to the hospital.  When mum came, I demanded to know what was wrong with me. I needed an answer. I needed to know the reason I was treated as a special student in school, like fragile glass.  I needed to know why I had a lunchbox filled  with drugs, why I was always falling ill and why Aunty May...

Morning Motivation- Thursday

 Good morning Successmates, These recent times have been proven to be for the tough alone. It hits us so hard sometimes that we almost topple over. The pandemic, office deadlines, traffic jam and all. How do we survive these? I have put together some little bits that might help us on our day-to-day journey. Sit back and soak in everything. Please drop your ideas in the comments box. Enjoy! There are so many things in life that are beyond our control. Rather than getting stressed out over them, focus on the things you can control such as the way you choose to react to problems.Look for the upside.  When facing major challenges, try to view them as opportunities for personal growth. If your own poor choices contributed to your current situation, reflect on them and learn from your mistakes. Learn to forgive. Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world and that people make mistakes. Free yourself from negative energy by forgiving and moving on. Share your feelings. Express...
