From My Inner Man

Wait,This Is For You Alone...
There are moments I'd think I'm alone;
There are times I was really lonely but not alone.

Circumstances makes things around us different,
Sometimes we don't have enough will power to escape it all.

The best times in life are the times we tend for people passionately,
The worst times are the season we are left to fend for ourselves.

Things would go wrong,it could go worse but remember it won't last long.
It's only but a fleeting moments of trials that comes to test our faith.

I've learnt not to put all hope on humans but first in God;
I've learnt not to trust alone in my power but wholly rely on His dictates.

I'd hate to put blames on people,though, some contributed to my retributions;
Happily I realized they never all meant it for evil but to teach me lessons of life.

Soonest it dawned on me that when people wrong me,
It's not me,it's not them, it's life!

I wish I could daub this words in your heart forever,
I wish I could put it in your mouth without getting sour.

I wish I could hang it on the wall without getting stale
I wish I could tell you in one sentence that I miss you.
I wish I could say and all I'm saying is God still cares for your YOU,friend...#Rawfacts

WISE UP

If there is anything I cherish and appreciate so well uncompromisingly, its genuine love. To some it’s unconditional love which means loving an individual regardless of his status, differences, background. To some, such love is undiluted which means it stands for truth and reflects truth, sincerity in such love is not a combination of letters that makes up the word-sincerity; but rather an expression of trueness and transparency. To some it’s everlasting love which means it stands the test of time, it’s a kind of love that stands the test of time, it’s a kind of love that stands tall when other things are falling. When business, jobs are falling, it maintains its stance. To some such love is unquenchable love which means when the water or breeze of temptation, disappointment, mistakes and challenges blows its fire, it is unquenchable. It stands out in darkness of distrust, it speaks when other love are at its lowest ebb, it burns when other love lack oil for burning, beyond all, it illuminates confidence and encouragement when there’s lethargy.

                To simply put, true love is true love! It may bear any names but it has the same characteristics and features. If not, it’s not true love but counterfeit. I’ve read some stories that about St Valentine’s Day but there’s a common thing amongst it all and that is his ability to be compassionate towards people especially the Jailer’s daughter despite his predicament. (Oh! Did I tell you who was Valentine? From what I researched, He was a man that was martyred because of his belief many years ago).

                Basically, here’s my belief about St Valentine’s Day Celebration- It’s a day you show extra love, care and go beyond the normal status quo of showing kindness, appreciation and genuine love. It’s a day to love the unloved, to care for the uncared, and to reach the unreached. To the married, care more and love more. To the singles, show more love to people around you not as a sacrifice but as a means of glorifying God and not the devil. Single is not a status, it’s just a word that depicts one’s ability to cope and have a sense of worth without dependability. Being engaged is neither bad, it’s also a word that depicts how strong nor unselfish you’re to share your emotions, sentiment with others.

                St Valentine left a legacy of true kindness and genuine expression of love through his actions and that was why he’s been celebrated. Whatever you’ll do today, let it represent God on earth and a real sense of human worth-your worth chiefly. Live a life to remember today for good, not the opposite. As many may say today is lover’s day, you may be right but true love is not celebrated once in a year alone. True love is true love, not until traded for sex. Let God look down from Heaven and profess ‘’ this is my child in whom I’m very pleased. Wise up so that you don’t close up your destiny……Rawfacts.

What’s on your mind?

After I offered a brief prayer unto God for granting me a stress-free day at work. I didn’t intend to grab a plate of meal else I short-changed myself of dinner (Yes! I’d planned no to eat more than enough food when I’m necessarily not hungry). With eagerness I checked my to-do-list for the day and was happy to discover I had only two chores waiting for my attention before I unwind myself. Purposefully, I skipped my pending two chores to my last to-do-list which was ‘’Relaxation’’ (Oh! Don’t judge me to be indiscipline about my tasks, sometimes I like being spontaneous than naïve). I grabbed my phone that has been on silent because I was planning to continue my scheduled chores and to avoid some distractions. With a smile on my face as if I just won a scholarship to study in the number one then University in the world ‘’Harvard University’’ now on number  4. My thumb was on my middle button to navigate me to menu browser. I typed in the address ‘’ www.facebook.com’’.

Automatically, I found myself on Facebook webpage. With immediate alacrity, I was happy I’ve got some notifications, messages and few friend requests from known and unknown folks. Here, something got my attention like never before; there was a typeface box with some in scripted words above it that reads “What’s on your mind”.  Every Facebook users have it on their webpage too. I do not plan to update my status that very day. Suddenly I was inspired to share something on my wall. After sharing a few words, the typeface box was blank again and asked the same question “What’s on your mind’’.  I thought within me, what is on my mind again? I’ve just shared what is on my mind with my friends some minutes ago (I muttered). Now I realized if I keep sharing words, it won’t get tired of asking me “What’s on your mind” after each words has been shared and updated. Oh my God! What was Mr Mark Zuckerberg thinking (The founder of Facebook) to have come up with such initiative as this. Asking me what’s on my mind after every second of sharing my thought of in the typeface box.

                My intuition now tells me “Man’s mind was never created to be blank! There must be something worth sharing, though, not necessarily on Facebook alone but every moment of our lives. The question now is ‘’what is on your mind? God never created it to be blank. It was created to be factory of thoughts and engine of actions. It was created to be wheel of success to drive with and the acceleration of achieving speedy goals. What is on your mind about the future you’re aspiring?  What is on your mind about the lady you’re planning to both say on the altar-I do. What is on your mind about your life?

                From my desk here, ensure you have the best in your mind; never leave it blank, it’s meant to be filled with virtues before it filled itself with negativity. If not intelligently cultivated, unwanted weeds (thoughts) would grow on it. It’s meant to be working not without rest but productively and of course, with much rest. Beloved, permit me to ask the same question Facebook never stops asking “What’s on your mind for the year 2014” …. #Rawfacts

WILLING VS WISHING

December 31, 2013 at 7:02am

Willing vs Wishing
Willing is supported by action;
Wishing is backed with reactions
Willing is based on calculations;
Wishing is based on speculations
Willing is less talk,more actions
Wishing is more talks,less actions
Willing is showing readiness to get your desire;
Wishing is an expression of desire
Willing is proactive;
Wishing is reactive.
Willing is reading this and taking actions;
Wishing is reading this without taking actions
Willing avoids procrastination;
Wishing embraces procrastination
Willing is asking to know more;
Wishing is talking to know less
Willing is using will power
Wishing is using choice power
Willing is willing;
Wishing is wishing

Today,I discovered that most of the things I was able to achieve successfully with the help of God is because I was WILLING to.

Conversely,those I couldn't was because I was only WISHING by helping my laziness.

Inherently,let us be more WILLING to do more in 2014 than WISHING to do more.
Compliment of the season;Happy New Year In Advance...#Rawfacts.

CHASING THE WIND

CHASING THE WIND

Walking aimlessly on the street;

Maybe because life could be strict,

Oh! That’s some people’s belief

But to some, it brings relief.

The fear we feel when there’s no provision;

While thinking about our vision,

The visions are countless,

Though, some of it is meaningless.

Truly, no meaningless vision,

It’s just our confession.

If you want to be normal;

You must first be abnormal.

Yes, you wished you had a goal,

That which drives them to go.

Just like everyone else,

But you take it for less.

Life brings opportunity;

Nay! Only to hearts of opportunity.

Many gets in life’ race,

With wrong pace.

We want to be everything;

Sadly, one can only become just one thing.

We all craves for attention,

But I realized we only need this-recommendation.

For once, can you just sit?

And adjust the buckles on your feet!

This time, look at the mirror,

To just let go of the terror.

Stop being feign,

Yes! Tell your twain.

Stop this race of fertility,

And free all your hostility.

Sometimes we pray too long,

Often times we wait too long.

And the answers pass by,

Do you know why?

‘Cos you’re chasing the wind

Like a caged hind

Make your passion;

Simply your profession

Don’t chase the wind,

Else, you’ll be chase behind.

By life’s forceful wind,

At the expense of your hind.

You might also lose your mind,

And that won’t be kind.

Be who you want to be!

Don’t mind what others would be.

What Do You Want To Become In Future?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BECOME IN FUTURE?

This Cliché “What do you want to become in future” puts us through a thinking lane whenever being asked by someone or we asks ourselves. Once a child is able to detect rights from wrongs, good from bad, then he/she is faced with the same question of “what do you want to become in future”. Literally, this question is good as it makes someone to think and prepare for the future. I’d been asked this same question in many ways just like everyone else, most cases, I smiles and respond confidently or grumpily “I want to be this”. Not until some years ago as I began to un-learn and re-learn through reading and listening to both right and wrong information, facts (Of course, you can’t deafen your ears totally to such, you just have the will power to choose the best information that suits you to act upon). So, I start the quest of asking myself once again “What do I want to become in future”. I noticed whenever people ask us this question, it’s either they want to encourage, motivate or unconsciously mislead or misguide us (Yes, everyone likes to make contributions to things like this even if they know little or nothing about it).

Walking through the thought lane…

One day I was at work, a maiden came to our office to make some enquiries .She engaged in a conversation with my boss and I was listening...(Hey! I wasn’t poke nosing or interfering, their conversation was just within my earshot). As my boss probed her further, He asked, ‘’what do you want to become in future? With enthusiasm, I paused and concentrate as I await her response. She smiled and happily said “I want to become an accountant”. Being inquisitive in nature, my boss replied her by saying, Why an accountant? Instantly, she’s lost in the deep blue sea of thoughts, wandering in the thought lane for some seconds and later came up with the common reasons and excuses we’ve all once gave when asked the same question. Honestly, I was afraid my boss is going to ask me as well. Quickly I programmed myself to give a suitable answer to the question (though, I wasn’t sure of it. Just don’t want to water my reputation or caught unaware). Luckily, He didn’t ask but that drove me back to my thought lane and I asked myself, but this time around with determination and curiosity “what do I want to become in future”

Changing the tide…

My curiousness is what makes me to change the tide of my thought on the ocean of life. Fortunately, I was reading a book and I found what I was battling with over the years was written in there (don’t worry I’ll tell you what I saw but in case you still want to read the book as well, there are many books on such but let me recommend this particular ones to you “Purpose driven life” by Rick Warren and “We are not here to play” By Olawale Perfect..I must be paid for this free advert from both Pastor Rick and Mr Perfect……..smiles). There are many careers that could fit into God’s will for your life, whatever career you choose, do it with the purpose of God’s glory and honour. After all, it’s our “character” toward God and people that will guarantee us eternity, not “career”.(It looks like I’m preaching, yes, if that is what you call it because I’m never ashamed of the gospel of Christ). In any career you go for, make sure your aim is to go for the primary aim of such career (What else than to serve and meet people’s need), by so doing, you equally meets your needs while serving others genuinely.

The difference between “Like” and “ How”…

Before choosing any career, first clarify and solve the puzzle of “what you like to do and “how to do what you like to do”. This is where some of us are getting it wrong and some might still get it wrong or right as well because we all first run into “how to do” instead of first developing the interest in any career and later end up being frustrated and left with no other option than to start wandering around the thought lane, almost every time. The word “like” means showing interest-to be précised. Be certain you choose the career you like and prefer the most. Your preferences for any career should be your drive, not the force around the career. Choose any career you’d liked to do when convenient or not, sweet or bitter (obviously, every career has its ups and downs but once you show strong interest in it, those challenges  could be evaluated as “experience” that makes up your career). On the contrary, “how” means the rudiments, laid down principles of how things are done or should be done. Once you’re able to show preferences for any career, the puzzles of “how to” is easy. Just go for any institutions or training centre that offers the training and knowledge of your desired career.

Icing your cake…

Show dexterity, determination, dedication, discipline and commitment to any chosen career-that’s called “icing your cake (career)”.

            Ultimately, whatever career you choose, do it with all heart of commitment and for God’s glory and edification of the society. Remember, if you don’t it, another person will do it better than you. Back to my familiar territory- “What do you want to become in future? I guess you have the answers now…smile.

            Come out of the shell, break the limits, run the visions, reach for the goals and fulfill your destiny…..#Rawfacts#
