INFOGRAPHIC: 10 steps to living an addiction free life!

Hi,
It has been awhile since I was able to write a blog post. I have been very busy and not free to do what I like to do a lot - write! However, I am determined to share my thoughts so I have been thinking about others things that control our actions and make us unable to do, or not stop doing the things we like or hate respectively.

Am I making any sense? I hope so.

I then thought of habits that are difficult to break free from because one has become addicted to them, or if you prefer this other word - accustomed - to them. So today, I want to share an infographic about how one can take some steps that may help to break free of any type of addiction!

Enjoy and do feel free to add to my list. I don't know it all.

Cheers!!
Let's soar!

THE WINNING ATTITUDE TO KEEPING DIFFICULT NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

I am about to wade into troubled waters and perhaps rustle them up a bit more. There are many people who have chosen not to make new year resolutions anymore because the statistics about the percentage of people who actually achieve their resolutions is almost depressing.

Truth be told, I think deep down we all make these resolutions whether we call them that, or not. I know that most people do a lot of soul searching at the end of each year. I do. I unconsciously find that I assess how I fared in several areas of my life and try to plan how to do better in the coming year.

So tell me, nearly six weeks into 2016, how are the resolutions going? 

A NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW POSSIBILITIES......

2016 is here and I want to thank anyone that has ever stopped over at this blog to read or comment for doing so. It means more to me than you can ever know. 

So today, I am just thankful for life...Truly, sincerely thankful. And that spirit of gratitude has made my life a whole lot fuller and richer...

Dear God, I am thankful for the goals I achieved, for the ones I started working on, for the ones I forgot about (ouch!), for the ones I remembered, but never got round to starting (despite shifting the timelines again and again); I am thankful!

Thankful!!

It has been a roller coaster kind of year with the good, the bad and the .... (fill the gap).  But hey, I am alive and hopeful about the future and about my dreams! Often times we dwell and focus more on the things we do not have...YET and that denies us of the enjoyment of the things that we do have! I have chosen to have no regrets and to aspire even more!

So, I have had an interesting year and I thank God. Have I achieved all I set out to achieve at the beginning of the year...no, but I still have twenty-nine days left in the year!! So what happens if I am not able to accomplish it all? Nothing.

MEMORIES...

I have always been the smiley type...could be a typical Nigerian thing. In the words of the late music legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, he says Nigerians sometimes are suffering and smiling. With all the economic difficulties and bad news flying around today, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep smiling and I doubt that we have enough psychiatrists and psychologists to cater for the teeming number of people who may actually need counsel.

So what do we do? I suggest that in the words of Jay Danzie above, we all focus on making others feel better after encountering us.

FOCUS!

To be single- minded is to be extremely focused. A research into the lives of most great men, reveals that they were consumed with passion for the causes for which they fought, even if it meant losing their lives. For them it was a battle till the end - there was often no plan B, C, D or E. They fought valiantly, doggedly till they achieved their goals.

Readers' favorite gives #BeyondtheTrial a FIVE STAR REVIEW!

#BeyondtheTrial has just been given a five star review by a reviewer on Readers' Favorite.

"There is a strong theme of the importance of using one's mind to see positively, despite difficulties. Also, the characters rely on their close friends or mentors, and on prayer. The momentum of the stories is natural but gripping and in it the main female characters achieve closure by their own courage in facing past tribulations. The style is refreshing and direct, and certainly the book is a useful motivator to people who need courage to face their troubles."
