PAY ATTENTION TO THE BACKGROUND (Vol. 3) – ‘Your Heart’



          I hope you enjoyed volume 2 and picked vital lessons. This volume promises not to fall short of that standard. Today, we’ll be looking at ‘your heart as the background of your life’! I’m sure you’ll like to know what this volume has for us.

          Before going into that squarely, let’s just establish a footing again. Students know that to experience academic success, they have to make efforts to ‘hide themselves’ at some point to study. By this I mean leave public view and distraction associated with it to study well. This is also a function of the background. 

 Also, many people believe that the spiritual controls the physical. I believe this too. The spiritual in this sense can be regarded as the ‘background’ certainly because it seems invisible. This is why we return to our closets (background) to pray sometimes. You can then tell from this that the background seems to be a sort of control center.

          If the background is the control center, then looking at humans – you and I, Our heart is the background! Do you then have a good background? Do you have what seems to be a good heart? 
The Holy Bible says: “Guard your heart with all diligence because out of it proceeds the issues of life”. It goes further to say “As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is”. This means that you are who you are because of the state of your heart. Since this is true, I’ll simply advise us to all work on our heart. Invest in your background (heart)! Make positive investments that would make you a better person.



          Pay closer attention to developing a good heart than just an attractive chart holding a list of outward materials. Your heart is important! Build a good heart, build a good YOU!


With this, we’ve come to the end of this series “Pay Attention to the Background”. I hope it a time well spent in reading through. I’ll appreciate we put the lessons learnt to good use in our quest to become better people and affect our world positively. Thanks!

I CAN DRESS MODESTLY AND STILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL

Image
Indecent dressing is fast becoming an epidemic especially among young persons (especially among females). The rate of increase in immodesty is alarming as many have now thrown to the gutters the initial purpose of wearing clothes which is to cover their nakedness. Another reason why people may decide to wear clothes is to appear 'presentable' and most importantly 'beautiful' but even this has been abused by some. I strongly believe that is not out of place in the 21st century to have young ladies who dress modestly and still look beautiful! I have seen a number of them and this remains one of the reason they have gained my respect. It is the same for every other responsible guy out there. This is what some females fail to know. It is to that effect I've decided to join this movement #You can dress modestly & still look beautiful. I totally agree with what Doug Herman,  the author of the book 'Come clean' said in his book. ...

PAUSE AND THINK (Vol.2): BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS!

Image
I’m sure you were able to pick one or two things from the previous volume, ‘pause and think before pointing that finger’. This volume promises not to be an exception as we’ll be looking at something very critical. Critical because we are all involved and connected with this subject. We use it every day of our lives! I’ll like to also include that the writer of this article is also not exempted from the ‘blames’, messages and lessons that can be drawn from the article. We’ll be talking about PAUSE & THINK BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS’   WORDS! WORDS!! WORDS!!! Human beings are very sensitive to words especially on the receiving end. Interestingly, we fall to both the giving and receiving end, although at specific moments. This article majorly addresses ‘the givers’.   Words have the power of influence both on the positive and negative side. The subject of ‘words’ must not be taken for granted. Words are instruments. Words relay feelings, emotions, moments,...

FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS (Volume 1)

Image
FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS. Why Friendship scandals? It doesn't sound cool, does it?  Nope, it doesn't. Here, we'll not only be concerned with personal life experiences of people with regards to friendship matters but the lessons we can learn from these experiences to be better friends and develop better friendship qualities much more. Don't get me wrong. Friends are cool to keep when are good. Be one! It promises to be lessons packed. It would entertain several parts that cuts across betrayal, jealousy, pride, lies, selfishness, malice, distrust, pretence and many more.  I GOT TIRED OF HER LIES! After my experience with Cecilia, I was thrown into confusion on which gender had more 'professional liars'. Within a short period of time I had gulped over a litre of lies. But why? Was she trying to impress me, paint a different picture of herself or what? I admired people for being real, truthful and unique. All these things were present i...
