Life through my eyes

It is human nature to want to hold on to everything we own and have acquired. We hold on to things even when we don’t need or use them. Giving to an average human is like losing. But this is not true. Giving can be likened to planting or investing. You have to let go of the seed or money before it can yield fruit/interest. Clutter experts advise; “If you haven’t used it in two years, give it away” That is the last thing a lot of us wants to hear. We hold on to that old appliance or clothing hoping it would be of use one day. And most times, we never use them. Ever wondered why multi-millionaires and billionaires always find one charity project or the other to fund? One reason is, they have discovered the secret of the Principle of Giving.   This principle works irrespective of age, race, sex or religion. It’s simple; when you give, you will be given. You don’t have to be a millionaire to give. Start where you are and you would soon start to see a d...

Men are born hunters. They love to pursue things; power, money, career and status. They love to Chase down things; they race cars and Chase women. It is their natural born instinct. When you make the first move, you take their “right” from them. Forget what the...

As i said in the first part of this series, loving yourself is not conceit or being egoist, it’s the ultimate prerequisite to be able to GIVE and RECEIVE love. You can’t give what you don’t have. The more you love you, the more love you have to share to others and the more love you receive from others. Here are 10 steps to loving the incredible miracle that you are 1.
