How do you perceive insults?

The person who insults us is a teacher  who has come to help us reduce our ego, develop patience and compassion, practise unconditional forgiveness, and teach us about life and relationships. If you don’t perceive an insult as an insult, but as a teaching or a gift, it loses its power to hurt you. On a practical level, if you are insulted, say nothing. Give yourself time. Much harm is created by lashing back, escalating the situation, and saying things you may not mean. Recognise it’s your ego – that false sense of pride acting up – and don’t go along with it. Most of us aren’t quite there yet, but with time and practice it can happen.God sometimes manipulates the actions of our enemies to make them work as friends in order to accomplish His will in our lives, just like Judas. He can bless you through the worst relationships, ones that are painful or negative. The time, effort, and pain we invest in them aren’t wasted because God knows how to make adversity feed destiny into your lif

Life is a lease

Life is not a gift but a lease because the right to life is restricted and still entirely God's. A gift once given becomes the exclusive possession of the receiver and the giver has no more right to it. Such is not the case with life. It's lease to us by God and he can do unto it as he wishes.

Formulas for the Perfect Marriage

"There is no one formula in marriage". This is a very common saying when it comes to marriage issues and making marriages work.  When people talk of formula in Marriage, I get a bit confused because I know that marriage is not Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or Economics where you apply formula.  Most formulas are founded by some people to solve or find answers and solutions to potential problems. When you see marriage as a problem then you will need to look for formulas to solve it. Marriages aren't a bed of roses and neither are they a bed of thorns either... Having been in this institution of constant learning I have come to realise from Experience that there is no fool proof formula to happy marriages. When you see marriage as a home you intend to move into and live peacefully  for the rest of your life, all you will look for will be items to beautify the home, remove items that wouldn't  fit (attitude) change positions of furniture and items (responses to action

UNDRESSING VALENTINE

The month of February is not just the second month of the year, but it's also known as the LOVERS' month. There are so many myth surrounding it's celebration. Come on a journey with me as we shred what most people actually celebrate in February. LOVE, INFATUATION OR LUST? LOVE LOVE IS A STRONG FEELING OF DEEP AFFECTION TOWARDS AN INDIVIDUAL  WHICH WILL NEVER GO AWAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY! LOVE MIGHT BE AT FIRST SIGHT OR MAY GROW OVER THE YEARS. If love is therefore defined as above, why then do we paint love in the colour of blood, RED? Why is love represented with the shape of heart? Where can these (heart, blood) be found? Another question again is this... why the shape of heart and not PENIS or VAGINA since most people equate love to sex or say one is a function of the other? 1. Blood is precious, scarce and sacred. It isn't as common as water, the heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory

People in your life

Try to identify and  value those people in your life who have supported you just because that is who they are and not because they anticipate a reward  or what they stand to gain either on the short or long run. They are worth the keeps.
