PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

What is life without purpose? Isn't it terrifying to live a life without knowing the cause of your existence. Life has a way of balancing itself once you discover yourself. Life is not fair indeed but mostly to those living a life void of purpose.

Self discovery is a tool for individual, societal and national development. Our imperfect life is proportional to our ignorance. Regardless of the  whining on our present circumstances in life, if we don't know the how, we can't do the what, that will make us stand out. The importance of self discovery cannot be over emphasized; it gives you an edge over certain mistakes. You may never reach your full potential if you are ignorant of your  inner strengths and abilities. Lack of vision exposes one to the pursuit of many irrelevant things. I strongly believe that there is greatness embedded in every human. You only need to look deeper within and let your true potential flow out of you.

Purpose is the reason why something is done or the aim or the intention of doing a thing. Take a little time and ask yourself "what's the reason for my existence"? If you can confidently answer that question  life will be less gloomy. People wander about like lost sheep  making decisions that would ruin their lives because they haven't discovered purpose. The question of purpose have faded into oblivion thereby onrushing complacency in the lives of men.

People tend to be comfortable with little or no achievement because they've not gotten a glimpse of greatness that lies ahead. We have writers, poets, accountants, bankers, artists, preachers inside of us waiting to break forth, but sadly the container is clueless of its contents within. Discovering purpose guarantees personal, academic, relationship, marital, and moral success. If you have difficulty discovering your essence, simply ask the One who made you. God Almighty is forever ready and able to assist us whenever we need assistance(1peter 5:7).

It is time to say goodbye to "just getting by" and rediscover the purpose for your existence. Never forget! A purpose driven life is a life worth living.

WHAT IS THE BEST OUTFIT?

Fashion has substantiated a major shift in recent years. There is a massive improvement in the fashion industry. Designs have progressed from the puffed hand blouses, to beaded peplum blouses. Fashion designers have stepped up their game in creating new attractive attires and I must confess that its top notch.

Looking good is great no doubt. We sometimes want to wear what is trending. Nobody wants to feel out of place. Unknown to some, they basically thwart to comparison mode, wanting to feel among. Regardless of the drain in the pocket.
     So then, what is the best outfit to soothe our style, belief, value, culture and tradition? Could it be a silk gown, plain trouser, crop top, or ankara? Hmm, I would say none(you probably might be wondering. What's with this lady). Beyond the fashion invoke, we shouldn't  throw our values and ethics in the towel. The way you dress will always be the way way you'll be addressed. Appearance is seen before character. Don't let others see you less of who you are because of the way you dress. When a person is indecently dressed, it tells bad about that person and also gives people a bad notion about you. Don't be moved by what is trending but rather, be moved by the ethics and values.
Dear friends, you can wear your ankara, gown, trouser etc without arousing negative emotions. You can look elegant without causing confusion in people's mind. You can look adorable and command respect from people.
Now, to the question of the day.
#WHAT IS THE BEST OUTFIT?#
Based on research and findings. I have come to the understanding and conclusion that the best outfit is DECENCY.
Let all things be done decently and moderately. Look good not at the expense of your body. You worth more than that. God has placed a high value on you. Don't downgrade your value in order to fit into the worldly patterns. You are adorable and unique, live by principles, don't live a life of mediocrity.
Never forget! 
DECENCY IS THE BEST OUTFIT

OPTIMISM

Why should anyone be positive with all the negativity around us? The world is decaying speedily with no glimpse of hope for a better way of life. Things are falling apart, iniquity is multiplying and our very society is a shadow of itself. Values and virtues we uphold has gone down the drain. People cannot rise above their own selfish interest, bribery and corruption has crept into the hearts of men and diabolical acts is at its peak. Children are the streets hawking, our people are getting involved in activities contrary to the law of the nation and our old ones are giving up and also lost the willpower to act because the so called "leaders of tomorrow" are wiling away on infatuation island.

Based on recent happenings in our society, it seems as though being pessimistic is the right attitude, but that shouldn't be the case. When you are down and there is nothing within or around you to hold on to, don't be dismayed but rather look up and find that joy, peace, hope and satisfaction that only God can give(psalms 121:1-2). Learn to see beyond the obvious, there is more that our natural eyes may not be able to view(2Corinthians 4:18).

There should be growing optimism that the problems in our society can be rectified. Let us be optimistic about the future of our nation. I am rest assured that things are gradually falling into place, although we may not see it now but all things work together for good for they that put their trust in God(Psalms 125:1-2). A time will come when our leaders will rise above selfishness, when our children will be given good and quality education, when our young people will choose to live right and be responsible, when there will be much innovations and infrastructural improvement, when other nations will come to our very nation to learn the ways of righteousness. I believe in my country Nigeria and the promises she holds. You should too.

HOPE

Life can beat us down with trials, sorrows and challenges. Things don't always go the way we plan. Disappointment and delay may be the order of our lives but when all seems hopeless, God's word is all we need to get ourselves back on track. (Psalms 34:19).
    Hope is being highly expectant or optimistic that something good will happen. Imagine a person who always want good things to happen (graduation, wedding, scholarship) and so on,most people go as far as fixing dates for these events but unfortunately, at the end none actually happens due to one ordeal or the other. When we find ourselves in such situation we become helpless and hopeless.
      The bible records how much God cares for us and how he wants to help us through and out of our ordeals( 1 peter 5:7). God is interested in our everyday affairs and want to see us happy and fulfilled in life. So my dear friends if you are at life's cross road and don't know the next step to take, Just hold on and be hopeful, God will show up right in time for you. Fret not for our eternal hope is in God Almighty. He is more than able to handle all your cares, just let him handle them.
     He has been our help in ages past and he will be our hope for years to come, trust in the Lord today and see him work wonders in your life.
