Fearfully and wonderfully made

I read up on social media that a boy committed suicide because he was always been compared to his mates that were financially doing well. I felt really bad after reading it. As a parent,  spouse or friend, whatever the relationship might be. No two human beings are same. We aren't just made, but we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. God made us for a unique purpose. What appeals to you might not appeal to me. Making someone look like or becoming someone else isn't right. Every star should be given an opportunity to shine. Every one's journey is different and everything you need to succeed in your journey is in You. As a parent what kind of words do you use when speaking with your children. Is it one to help build their self esteem and make them fearless or, one that makes them feel they are nothing and can't amount to anything? You can only guide your child/children in their career path but imposing a career on them is like leading  a horse to t

SIX THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT A YORUBA WEDDING PARTY

There is  a huge difference between the yoruba wedding and the yoruba wedding party. The yoruba wedding party comes with all the extra, which makes guest overwhelmed. You dont need to stress yourself for anything, because an event planner has got you covered. Souvenirs aren't shared to those who bought asoebi alone on the contrary every one in attendance gets a souvenir. Here are six things to love about a Yoruba wedding party: Colourful Decoration A well decorated hall with excellent ambience for selfies and photoshoots. Not leaving out the well decorated red carpet. Who wouldn't take pictures? Food and Drinks There is usually so much to eat and drink. A typical Yoruba  wedding party  has more than one food vendor serving mouth watering delicacies, ranging from fried rice, jollof rice, moi-moi, amala, ewedu plus gbegiri (oh, how I love this meal), ofada rice and sauce, vegetable salad/ cole slaw, ewa agoyin and plantain, not forget ting asun, assorted

Wonders of Tumeric

Health Benefit of Tumeric: 1. Anti- Inflammation: By the many challenges of modern life. Poor diet, high stress levels, lack of sleep and poor gut health can all contribute, so it's clear that we're in great need of anything that can help to balance and reduce inflammation. 2. It provides joint support By reducing inflammation, turmeric in turn plays a huge role in providing joint support. "It's this very anti-inflammatory activity that makes turmeric supportive for joint health. Joint pain and arthritis are among the most obvious signs of inflammation. And so anything that helps to balance inflammation may relieve symptoms – or even help prevent the problem occurring in the first place." Indeed, studies have proven the spice to play an active role in reducing joint degradation and aid in joint maintenance. As a result, organisations such as Arthritis Research UK recommend turmeric as a complimentary medicine. 3. It supports digestion

Thursday Motivation

Isaac Newton once said, 'If I have seen any farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of those who have gone ahead of me'. Maybe the reason why you haven't gone farther in your business or career  is because you are standing on the wrong shoulder. Whose shoulder are you standing on? Who is your mentor? What book have you been reading? What messages have you been listening to? If you must see further or go farther you should get the right information and knowledge for it. Stay Focused! Stay disciplined! #Thursdaymotivation

Friendship is a major part of life's journey. Whatever happens depend on the kind of people you surround yourself with. If your circle of  friends are not in support of your dreams, then it is time to take a long walk. Learn to sift through all relationship. If the people you surround yourself with don't add value to you in anyway, please take t hat long walk. Be careful about friends who frown at your success, dine with them using a very very long spoon and if you can, don't dine with them at all. It is better to have one loyal friend than have friends that are envious of your achievements. Sometimes your circle decreases in size and increases in value. Have a lovely weekend.
