Golden Seeds of Life : You are special

God used 9 months to systematically design you in your mother's womb. He specifically planned you, adding every delicate tissue to nerves, mixing the elixir called blood with cells and genetic material. He carefully designed you, crafting your face and body with amazing precision. He then put an original stamp on you and made you a once in existence creature. None before you or after you could ever be the same. In fact he made sure you are a limited, unreapeatable model.

So why do you live your life like you are an after thought? Like you are an option instead of a priority?
Why would God create you an original and not give you the ability to make a DIFFERENCE on this earth?

Come on, get up and shake loose from the bondage of Mediocrity! Take your place and do what you were born to do. Make a difference in your life and that of everyone else connected to you. You can't expect anyone else to do it on your behalf. It wouldn't be the same. You are special. Make your mark.

Golden Seeds of Life : Don't put things off

We spend so much time building walls and security doors instead of bridges and open doorways. We bottle up love and gratitude instead of expressing them and we waste time apart from loved ones instead of spending time celebrating the gift of love and companionship. We strive so hard to conform and blend in when we were made to stand out and be different. Life is finite and may pass in an unnoticeable moment. So live fully today. Stop putting off your dream and start today. Quit being shy and tell that person how you feel today. Make that call right now. Write that letter and mail it today. Don't put off life any longer. You won't live forever, so treasure this very moment.
Live well, love God and live now.

Golden Seeds of Life : Preparation

"One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes" .
~Benjamin Disraeli

Preparation generates resourcefulness, sharpens instinct, develops wisdom and intellect and activates appropriate action. It enables us to exhibit calm and well calculated responses to the curves life throws at us instead of panicked reactions inspired by fear and anxiety. It is very easy to identify people who are not prepared in life. Their lives are filled with stressful events and every minute is an emergency. They are susceptible to emotional outbursts, temper tantrums and nagging headaches or migraines.
Does this describe your life or anyone you know?
The solution is preparation. Proper preparation produces perfect performance!

Golden Seeds of Life: Social Media

This morning I received some notifications from Facebook about activity on my wall and amongst them was a part labelled "memories on this day". As you have also noticed, it is basically a collection of things you posted on your wall on the same day in previous years. Gradually, this has become one of my favorite parts of the notifications for the simple reason that, it shows me what I was thinking and what i felt was important to share last year and previous years on this same day.
I have taken this instruction;
Before you update, comment or post anything on social media, especially Facebook, ask these questions;
1. Will I be proud to reshare, repost or allow people to associate me to this post a few years down the line?
2. What does my posts say about my values and my development as a person?
Like I keep reiterating, social media is serious business and the internet never forgets.
So before you post,
PAUSE, READ and THINK!
Enjoy the new month and keep making a difference.
