Perspectivessssssss.................

Friday evening going home from work.........
I am in a bus thinking of how terrible the traffic is and how many hours it would take me to get home from where I was. The heavy build up of traffic was a long one. Suddenly a few miles on the traffic is gone and the road is free! What do you think ran through my mind? This is the way life is and even business! You start out the day and it seems as if nothing will work or that business will be dull, then out of nowhere things start working out.

In some other cases.........
You start out a journey and the road is free and its seems its going to be smooth sailing but then almost to the end of your journey you meet with a terrible traffic that lasts hours. This is another paradox of life, letting you know that its not always as smooth as we want it to be.

You wake up in the morning.........
The sun is not out and the rain is pouring. You need to be at a meeting and looking at the time you are already late! Leaving the house nothing works according to plan. First the car does not start, the Tyre is flat and the rain has flooded the road in places that driving is a disaster.

What a way to go.............
When you find criminals been celebrated and honorable men waiting in the shadows."Ni ilu to l'oba to ni Ijoye?" People are funny at times, ascribing the role of messiah to criminals who will just continue to blindfold them while he bleeds them dry like a leach.

Looking through a mirror..................
Most times we look and just go away without the picture in our head. We forget thatno6thing is as it seems and so life will continue to pass us by if we don't sit up and play our part. It takes you standing in front of the mirror before you can see yourself and the size and position of the mirror determines how much of yourself you can see. Mirrors this days are no longer rose colored either so take time to properly position yourself.

What we see is what we get.............
Everyday we look around and blame the whole world but ourselves for whatever situation we find ourselves in. We fail to realize that what we have today is a culmination of what we have been building for a long time. Growing and nurturing it to where it is today and yet we refuse to embrace it for what it is? When we encourage negativity and all things bad it is impossible for us to get something else from life aside from what we have sown.

Perspectivessssssss.................
The enjoyment that we think we get from life sometimes results in pain. Really freedom and responsibility means the same thing. It means free dominion and responding to the ability to make choices. What we chose to respond to and how we are able to exploit our dominion is then left to us while God watches on.

Put life in a better perspective and remember its not always as it seems!

THE ONLY REAL SECURITY

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability. – Emile Coue

This past year a lot of us have learnt that no one is truly secure in his or her job and if your job is not secure then a whole lot of other things are not. So many people lost jobs, their position in life and family, or their businesses. For some it was easy to start over while others don’t even know where to start from.

We have been so focused on money, the freedom it gives, the things it can buy the power that goes with it and the individual invisibility. Yet we fail to realize that without a whole lot of the other things in life, money as we see and know or feel it will not bring security, joy or independence. Most times we become slaves to money without even knowing it and since we have continued to remain at a place in terms of knowing, ability and experience it becomes difficult for us to move to the next stage in our lives.

It is said that knowledge is power, but on its own knowledge is not enough. The training over time (formal and informal), giving an accumulated experience of life and work combined with our power to do something or make things happen, gives the security we need and deserve. For us, we must familiarize ourselves with the things around us and which are important to us, having an understanding of how, when, where, what and who of it. As we continue to involve ourselves in activities, events, and everything around us and practice the skills these involvements gives us we would gain more ground and power to make things happen. This would make it possible for people to seek us out because of their need to share in the security that we have and can offer to them.

This true and real security will move you forward and put you at the top wherever you find yourself. It is important that we seek knowledge diligently, get wisdom through our experiences and in so doing acquire the power we need to not just survive in life but to also excel in life. True security is the freedom we get from pursuing knowledge which gives us the ability to become wise. Therefore pursue freedom and be secure!!
