REBUILDING BROKEN WALLS

In our day to day lives, walls reflect an element of protection. They are components of building made up of units of blocks. No matter how small these units of blocks are, they make up great buildings. Not minding how big these buildings are, they must have no cracks in their walls. Cracks reflect weakness, inefficiency and loop holes for wrong things to enter.
Our lives are also like unit blocks of attitude, gravels of actions and cement of inactions. When the foundational blocks are not good enough, the building cannot be strong. Broken walls are places through which negative thoughts leak into our lives, emotions and influences. These broken walls allow influx of different kinds of things.
As social beings, we humans cannot put ourselves away from the reality of influences around us. Through the influences of those we surround ourselves with; our walls can be broken, fixed or even made stronger. What do you allow mostly into your life? This is because we become mostly what we focus on. We must dare to set our foundational walls right. But this may not be possible without effective inspiration. Inspiration means getting enabled by a higher unction, a greater source. I will urge you friends to make God your ultimate inspiration in order to mend your broken.
The integrity of our personality can be hampered by some habits that lurk by the roadside of our lives like wolves in sheep clothing. They seem so harmless but they melt the walls of our lives like blocks of ice on a hot sunny day. For such habits, it will do us a great good to give up on them. Sometimes, giving up does not mean weakness, it means we are strong enough to let go of excuses and unimportant habits. We would build great institutions when we repair the broken walls in our lives and indeed by hearkening to this clarion call, the greatness of our nation can be restored.  

I’ve been thinking of you!

THE ALLURING FRAGRANCE.

Everywhere around the world, from the east coast to the west coast, from the deep valleys to the mountain tops; from the murky waters of the villages to the street lights in the towns, people of different class and style, beauty and gifting abound. That’s indeed what makes the world beautiful!
However, people get more attached to some people than to others. Others simply repel those that come around them and those that dare to stay might have to muster some psychological fibre to contain them as friends. The former are often an amazing bunch. Like perfumes, they exude an alluring fragrance that get people attracted to them and where ever they go, they glow. The difference between the first party and the second party I mentioned earlier is an alluring fragrance called ATTITUDE.
Attitude is a natural fragrance, deep rooted in the bones and no amount of perfume can alter it. People with bad attitude betray themselves easily despite the beautiful fragrance of their cologne; despite their inclinations and connections.
Connection can take you somewhere but character and attitude will keep you. Gaining a great attitude is not magic; it demands some work. The beautiful thing about this alluring fragrance is that it can be cultivated. It does not respect religious divides or cultural sentiments. Common attitudes like appreciation, gratefulness, courage, tolerance and so on can be cultivated.
Remember, wearing a perfume is good but there is something that smells deeper than perfumes; it’s is called ATTITUDE! Spare a little time today to show some love, render a selfless service and reach out a broad smile to someone. That simple smile might make all the difference.
Friends, let’s change the world with our alluring fragrance!
Yours Truly,
Chijindu.

ENGINE ROOM

In the issues of life, we all have a stake somewhere. It may be in our workplace, in our families or even in our society. If we don’t in any of these, at least we do in our lives. Be that as it may, it has been proven that you can have as much influence on yourself as well as on the society. To some extent, we are indeed, architects of our destinies and we can steer both our lives and the circumstances around us to suite us or favour us.
Hence this is to say that we are the engine room of this generation. I have this question for you.
Have you ever pictured yourself as an engine room, one that is bringing out solutions and solving problems? An engine room will never be effective without enough lubrication and the right oil gauge. It will surely have hitches and will most likely malfunction with wrong inputs. Hence, how effective an engine performs depends on the kind of components and the oil on the inside.
That is to say that you cannot give what you don’t have. Invariably, what you have is what you give. In case you are not aware, you are AN ENGINE ROOM, in fact, A POWER HOUSE and a SOLUTION PROVIDER! Imagine how many people are depending on you and your vision for survival. Imagine how some things would spoil if you were not around. Imagine that you owned a big company and you own 100% of the shares. If you realize this, you will act as a CEO and think like one. With the wrong oil, an engine knocks and performance plunges downhill. With no oil at all, an engine cannot power any machine. Remember that the engine room is what maintains a whole machine; it is the heart on which many a machine’s life line is based.
Be careful what you allow on the inside of you. Your input will be smoky if you allow your oil become bad. Allow nothing but the best inside and you will give out nothing but the best. Don’t live carelessly, remember, you are an engine room. Friends, beware, garbage in, garbage out.  In you, the solution lies, in you the future of our nation is secured and it is also in you that we shall celebrate the new Nigeria!
Surely, together we shall deliver the future!

Sincerely Yours!

I STAND FOR THIS!

In a nation so vastly populated as ours, it is often possible to get lost in the crowd. Yes; to get lost in the opinion of others or submerged in the sea of confusion generated by others or maybe, to get drowned in the vision of others. Sometimes, you may be wondering, “Where am I and what do I stand for?
In the midst of these buzzing realities, the world has a way of blowing hurricane winds on our flickering candles of faith, especially when we want to take a bold step. Be that as it may, it is good we declare our stand because according to Martin Luther King Jr., “He who has nothing to die for is not fit to live.”
Hence I dare to say that I stand for truth, equity, fairness and justice. I stand for the greatness of everyman and the brotherhood of all mankind. I stand for integrity, transparency and good governance. I am an activist, yes, an activist for the common man whose voice cannot be heard. But first, I am an optimist that is highly positive minded. I believe our nation will be great when we see ourselves as co-builders and when we learn to take responsibility.
I stand for purpose and reality. I don’t believe in begging for acceptance, rather, I believe in stating my case and showing what stuff I am made of for it is said, “once you are good, you are good” because a golden fleece has no hiding place. I believe in great virtues and in the nobility of work. I stand for morality and godliness for I do know that there is a God that rules in the affairs of men. I believe that what a man sows, he shall reap. I stand for these, what do you stand for?
