THE POTTER.

From the mud. You picked me up. Watered my miry being. With your blood and tears. And placed me on your wheel of grace. Shaped and Moulded. Me into perfection. With your tender fingers of love. And finally baked me. Through trials and tears. Under your Spirit`s surveillance. From the potter`s hand. I am designed to be. Of a superior quality. One of a kind. GOD`S MASTERPIECE!

GRACE.

There I was. Being carried to life`s beautiful gate. Lame and Crippled. Left to the mercy of passers-by. Incapable of doing anything. Grace came along. Stared me straight in the eyes. And lifted me from misery and shame. Here I am. Carrying myself gracefully. Through life`s beautiful gate. My crippled limbs made whole and strong. But those who hope in the LORD. Will renew their strength. They will run and not grow weary. They shall walk and not faint.

MEMORIES.

Memories. Like seeds are planted. As we walk through life`s path. Watered by unusual acts of kindness. Grounded in friendships. And rooted in love. Till they blossom and branch to bring. Genuine smiles on faces. And add tinge to life. Good memories. Are fruits we share. With those we love. Lighting us up and bringing smiles. To our face once again. They are fruits that nourishes for life! Memories never die.

A NEW DIMENSION OF LIFE.

Life is all about events, there is nothing we cannot do. If we believe in ourselves, then we can do it and achieve it. All we need do is to move on with life. We`ve got all it takes to succeed. Our destination is not far from where we are now, we are almost there. Let`s put ourselves together, package ourselves in a way and dimension preparing for the task ahead and before us and we will see that someday we will get there. Success in life is an outcome of planning, to have anything we plan for it. Only accidents are not planned for but they are just unseen events. Good things of life are by-products of effective planning. There are so many hindrances to planning and some of which are...FEAR, PROCRASTINATION, INDIFFERENCE and EDUCATION. FEAR...This really stops us from planning. It is simply the fear of the worst possible thing which might happen but hasn`t happened yet. It is only conceived in the mind. If we don`t combat fear with bravity, we can`t achieve anything in life. Only the great men faces the reality of fear to conquer it. BE BRAVE! PROCRASTINATION...When fear is conquered with braveness, we need to overcome procrastination by stop delaying what we know that we ought to do. We need to be bold enough to take step. By doing what we want to do now is the prescribed solution to procrastination. It is one of the greatest enemy of success.. Being afraid to take decision steals our destiny. INDIFFERENCE...This is just being in particular of what we want out of life. Not having a focus to what we want to make out of life. EDUCATION...We often times limit ourselves to the mind development that we`ve got in college which should not be. We need to explore other realities of life and not just the written theories of someone. We need to bear in mind that success knows no race, colour or neither does it recognize personality but only what we make out of life. Let`s face reality by knowing that we can contribute whatever we can to life and to mankind. Only the people that wi8ll make something out of life see success in all that they do and success to them is PERSONAL. Let`s consider these four D`s... DESIRE...There is a need to be uncomfortable with where we are at the moment and a desire will bring about a change our way. We need to desire something for it to come to pass. A strong will of the vision we`ve conceived to materialize. Only what we see and desire shall come to pass. DECISION...Decide what you want in life either to be an agent of value or otherwise. Our stand and vote clarifies where we belong. No decision is correct without challenges. DISCIP[LINE...We have to discipline ourselves not to go against our plans not minding the challenges. To succeed in our plans, we need to be disciplined, cautious and deny ourselves of whatever will truncate and terminate what we want out of life. DETERMINATION...That at all cost, whatever we have to forgo or sacrifice for success, we definitely must be determined to do it. Every person that has attained a great height in life has had turbulent periods in life but determination helped them to outlive their trying periods. In short, we need to develop an attitude of positive thinking and partnering with people of like minds to move on. Every great leap forward in life is by a right DECISION backed up by a right ACTION in the best and right DIRECTION. Be confident that you can attain all that you have dreamt of in life and be ready to fight challenges. We become responsible for whatever we are in life. In conclusion, after doing all we have planned to do, then be ready to write on the stones of time the history made by you as a result of right planning. Finally, let`s note that we are on track already and the whistle has been blown. It remains action that will give us OUR HEART DESIRE IN LIFE.

TIME COUNTS.

A time to be born and a time to grow. There is a time to live and a time to die. There is a time to rest and a time to work. To everything under the heaven, there is a time allocation. In School,it is a time to read and forget unnecessary pleasures. Time lost is lost forever, gone and gone forever. Only the time we spend well will make way for us in the nearest future. Time goes on day by day, ageing day by day too. But only the invested time will speak for itself by results. Time counts, Ask a passenger who missed his plane by a minute. Ask a lucky man who escaped death by a second. Ask an athlete who lost by the very second that he looked back. And a doctor whose patient died after several years of good response to treatment. All these indicates that in a lifetime, every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year counts. All are important to an individual who wants to be a success in life. When we maximize the limited time, our future is maximized. When we spend our time in doing the appropraite things, then, our destiny will surely be actualized. When we live each day doing our best with all our mind. Taking each day as if it were the last we should live. Then everyday in our future will be full of successful events. If only we make use of the time we have today effectively. Every second the clock tickles, every second people are born. Things are happening all over the universe. We all decide where we would pitch our tent in the future. And to be among the successful. We must believe in ourselves that we can do it. By maximizing the time we have now. Because it won`t be there always. Do all you have to do now to be a success.

BECAUSE TIME COUNTS.

DON`T GIVE UP.

To win is to forge ahead. Obstacles or not. Happenings here and there. No man can predict tomorrow. Light rays coming by day. Full of events good and bad. Don`t give up, you are on the verge of winning. Failures to give a try. No hope without a start. Beginning comes before an end. Predict the unusual. Live for something daily. Till the time come. Don`t give up, you will get there. Humans don`t come to realize. Potentials they`ve all got. Believing in the unseen. Not minding what tomorrow may bring. Looking here and there. With success a mile away. Don`t give up, you`re too close than to quit. Lose hope not. Tomorrow believes in you. Even when you did not see it. Today has enough good offers in it. Believe your mind, spirit and soul. They would lead you to victory. Time is going by and by. Seasons are changing. While people are moving too. All you`ve got to do is to believe and don`t give up. VERY SOON YOU WILL SHOUT FOR JOY.

IF IT WILL BE, IT IS UP TO ME.

It is a passing phase. We won`t be here forever. In a short while, We would leave this realm. Whatever we have to do

We should do it now and give it our best. Because a time is coming when We would be happy with ourselves. Living the kind of life We have always wanted to live. A fufilled life with God.
