The Advantage of being Disadvantaged

The Advantage of being Disadvantaged

Quote of the day

‘The Value of life is categorised by the willingness to live it and not by the willingness to strive for it. Everyone is entitled to a life of equality rather than the common occurrence of inequality. The statistics of success should never reveal a small portion of the population that have the advantage to live in prosperity and the rest are disadvantaged to live in poverty. Today I want you to switch your destitution to restitution and climb the mountain of hope to fortune at a pace suited to your needs.’

Welcome to a wonderful start to a wonderful weekend, the first weekend of July 2016. It is wonderful to have you on board as a friend for life and as a citizen of the Earth. I wish you a wonderful start to a wonderful month. The Advantage of being Disadvantaged can work in your favour because it enables you to raise the bar according to your expectations. As a result, poverty can change to prosperity, misfortune can be converted to fortune and sadness can be modified to happiness. The world is bubbling with opportunities for all but yet the weak continue to live with weakness and the poor continue to be poor. If you are disadvantaged like many around the world I want to assure you as of today that it is time to change this for good. It is time to remove the scathe of injury and to bathe in the glory of victory. Don’t feel sullen or fallen. Don’t hesitate to leap forward. Don’t sit in the corner and torture yourself, become a modern day earner and start feeling stronger. Open the doors to opportunities and close the doors to insecurities. Start tomorrow with a defined plan and end it with accomplishment and fulfilment. Understand what needs to be done and then do it. Raise the bar as per your needs and bring joy to your heart and soul. I wish you a wonderful and successful working week ahead of you. Take good care 

Reshaping the world

Reshaping the world

Quote of the day

‘You have that power to change the Earth and your life. It just takes a bit of courage and participation from each one of us. Two hands are often hard to reshape, resize and reform the Earth, but 14 billion hands makes it a lot easier.’

Greetings and salutations from a very, very cold and icy London town where temperatures are hovering above zero. I am unduly grateful for your presence on this growing Inspirational Channel.

Bonus Quote

‘Our prime motivation is to inspire. Your prime inspiration is to be motivated.’

I feel saddened by the atrocities of our world. In the current form nuclear weapons poses a huge threat to world stability. Climate change has seen drastic changes in weather patterns. The Earth is warming up and species of life and their habitats are diminishing. Viral outbreaks like Ebola takes the world by storm leaving thousands dead. Poverty is a growing problem too. Each day 22,000 children die as a result of poverty. When we entered the 21st Century over a billion people were still illiterate. In Syria, one of the oldest places on Earth where civilization has once started is still in turmoil. Thousands of human beings have died. The world is now infested with short, medium and long term problems from racism, human trafficking to petty crime. As human beings, the sole custodians of the living world we need to join hands together and effectively do something about it. It may be a mammoth task for just one individual but a joyous task if all 7 billion of us worked together. One of our greatest sources of inspiration comes from knowledge. I call it the Tree of Knowledge. From a single tree comes forth a forest, a haven for all and heaven for some. From the forest comes forth the ocean of life. In it the rivers create the valleys and the dunes with each blade of grass and each grain of sand accounted for. Such an opening of life with two, four or a hundred legs comes the nature of life. Amongst them are you and me with appendages adapted for our needs. The river, the valley, the forest, the ocean, the crops, the animals and the plants are all under our supervision. As supervisors we have failed over the millenniums and now the world has become tainted. To an onlooker from the outsider the Earth is no longer a paradise. The tree of knowledge is hidden amongst the chaos and the spiral wheel of life has become encoded with human greed. Mars is inhabited with a few microorganisms to meet the needs of Mars. The Earth is inhabited by many macro organisms to meet the need of their greed. Now the valley of knowledge is no longer green but tainted with doubt, conflict and conjecture instead?  From a distance it may look uniform but on close examination all things in life have that constant taint of human greed.  This is why our Earth lacks the beauty of a Paradise, of the original Eden. The Earth has been wounded over the centuries and has changed in shape, size and form.  Migrant workers are constantly trying to repair it but the damage is too extensive.  If only man could get his shoulders to the wheel and his mind in perspective, then there is a hope for the Earth to return to its original condition. You have that power to change the Earth and your life. It just takes a bit of courage and participation from each one of us. Two hands are often hard to reshape, resize and reform the Earth, but 14 billion hands makes it a lot easier.’ So, when life falls to pieces we need to hold hands together to restore peace and equanimity. Have a wonderful Thursday.

Turning Negatives into Positives

Turning Negatives into Positives

Quote of the day

‘One of our weakest links in life is that we carry too much of negatives along our journey to success. We need to let go by switching our negatives into positives with immediate effect to change our outlook to life.’

Welcome to your weekend, the final one in January and to bring our wonderful opening month in the year to an end I want to talk about letting go. We need to start turning negatives into positives. Negatives is a firm rejection to what you can be or want to be. Positives on the other hand is a firm approval of what you can be or want to be. We are all fundamentally the same and therefore can achieve anything in life, we just need to let go of the negatives. This has been proven so there is no need to doubt it. It is a simple psychological switch in our mind that we need to activate. Any switch whether it is mechanical, electrical or psychological will switch the state of something from on to off or vice versa. We need to switch from old to young, from poor to rich, from bad habits to good habits, from poor health to good health and from sadness to happiness. Visualisation is the key ingredient to you overall success. If you are fat, you need to visualise yourself as a thin and slim person. You need to create a virtual wardrobe to accommodate the new you. Donate your old clothes and switch them to new ones that you can fit into. If you are poor, in debt and struggling immensely you need to visualise yourself as financially independent racing to get out of debt. You need to create a new wardrobe of independency by getting rid of all your debts in a proposed time period and bring in new credit to your life. Switching is easy if you are willing to let go. If you are still clinging onto addictions, then you will be faced with constant contradictions. I say onto you and verily too, face your addictions with additions and subtractions. Yes, add positives into your life and subtract negatives from it. Add life to your life. Enjoy every second of it. Add love to overcome hate. Subtract hate and let love reappear. Add money to your pocket by emptying your closet of all unwanted items. Let go. Throw away the negatives and grow the positives. Don’t smoke because you know that you will end up with a stroke. Don’t drink because you know you will stink and not be able to think. Don’t do drugs, don’t be a thug and reject those negative bugs. Switch to positives. Take stress and switch it to finesse. Take tactlessness and transform it into diplomacy. Create positives from negatives. Separate positives from negatives. Use the psychological switch. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy every moment of it and reflect on the last 30 days to establish your progress in 2016. With 335 days left there is a lot to do. Start by identifying your negatives and let’s work together in February and turn them into positives.

The Sound of Sorrow

The Sound of Sorrow

Quote of the day

 ‘Sorrow can be deep and can reach the base of unhappiness. It can be a lonely affair, a period to grieve and mourn and a feeling of sadness that grips your heart. In the spirit of Christmas, I want to tell you that tomorrow can be different if you tried. It can become a period of joy, happiness and delight. You just need to be reminded of what it is to be given an opportunity to be alive.’

Yesterday I was all alone, contemplating my life and my future. I was weak and I was bleak. I was hungry and I was cold. I was sad and I was mad about the way my life panned out. What will I do tomorrow if no one wants to employ me, educate me or teach me a basic skill? What will I eat if I have no money? What will I wear, where would I sleep and how shall I keep warm in winter amidst the cold of the night and under the blustery sound of the day. All I wanted to do now was to fall into a deep sleep and hope for a miracle that might fall upon me during the night. If not, then I shall perish without cause and without reason. I will be soon forgotten and never remembered. Do you sometimes feel like that? These were my feelings over 21 years ago, uttered in the way I exactly felt. However today I am here, 21 years later revived and survived. Suddenly I got up from that deep sleep awakened to the sound of life. I saw birds that morning flying so freely and living so enchantingly happy. They did not seem to worry about what they shall eat or where they shall sleep. They seemed to have an ordained plan and kept to their daily roster. I then saw a spider’s web in front of me and a spider too beside the web, waiting in anticipation. Everything in front of me had a purpose and woke up each day to get on with their daily grind. They were not like me, muttered in my thoughts, uttered in constant hesitation, shuttered from the outside world and cluttered in my daily agenda. It seemed that I had awakened to a miracle for I had seen the wonders of life in front of me, carrying on laboriously right in front of my very eyes whilst I sat brooding. I prayed for a miracle and it came upon me like a glow in the sky. Now it was up to me to react and then act. It was time for me to get up and to have the courage to live. I needed to get a grip on my affairs and to establish what I want to do. If I could establish this, then my tomorrows will no longer be filled with sorrows. I needed to be strong and not wrong.  I knew that I must not give up neither should I lose faith. This was my pledge, my solemn pledge to do well. I have the appendages to respond to these miraculous reactions and I have the time to execute my actions. 21 years ago I was given a chance, 21 years later I am reminding you of that chance to change your life into a more prosperous one. Miracles are happening right in front of you, all the time, you just need to grasp it with good intentions and be satisfied without bad contentions and unnecessary tensions. Christmas brings hope and joy to many. Christmas is a miracle and as we are constantly reminded of the importance of this auspicious day, we need to react and act like the birds and the bees. We really do. Don’t give up on yourself. Unleash the power from within you and turn your life around. You have the time to do just that which is equated to 86,400 seconds a day.

HOPE

HOPE

Quote of the day

‘Hope is a lifeline of optimism. It gives you the confidence to cope, it supplies you with a rope of courage, it manufactures a scope of expectation and it is a slope towards faith.’

Dear Friends, how do you succeed in life when you are caught up in a trauma of insatiability created by greedy men and women? Life can be so morbid even when you try to be good, kind and gentle. The world holds its own live museum of destruction right before our very eyes. Apart from contending with our own daily grind we have to face the music of climate change, global warming, waste disposal, depleting natural resources, over-population, pollution, the loss of our biodiversity, deforestation, acid rain, genetic engineering, water pollution, lack of water, droughts, urban sprawl and ocean acidification. Wow! Man has really taken the law into his own hands. He is slowly disseminating disruption to the lives of innocent people and creating havoc to our planet as a whole. There is conflict, there is poverty, there is abuse, there is bereavement, there is death and there is hunger. 200 school girls are still missing in Nigeria. The loss of two Malaysian Airlines with so many lives illustrates how safe air travel really is. The crisis in Ukraine. The conflict in Syria. Violence in Afghanistan. The deadliest violence along the Gaza Strip and the list goes on. How safe are you? Will you be robbed tonight or mugged at the bus stand. Are you bullied at school or are you bullied on the roads with raging drivers that don’t care. Are you troubled by your neighbours or do you fear the bailiff.  Dear Friends, I say onto you and verily too, fear not, build a lifeline of HOPE from today. Let HOPE carry you and let HOPE protect you. Life can shed a bitter moment at the most awkward times, therefore it is important to have HOPE at the forefront of all your endeavours. Sometimes bad news can come at the most unexpected times. Today I want to assure you that without HOPE life can and will be dreadful. HOPE gives people a lifeline of optimism. Without optimism there is the usual and obvious pessimism.  Pessimism sheds hopelessness into the equation of despair. Where can you go to for help without HOPE? Friends become distant when they see you struggle. Families try to stay out of your problems. Bank Managers close their doors to you when you are struggling financially. Doctors will confirm their prognosis and are generally limited in what they can really do. So when bad news hits the ceiling for you reach out and touch HOPE, the lifeline from above. HOPE is a bespoke conduit to the Heavens above. HOPE is positive energy giving you confidence in what you do, say or think. HOPE gives you courage to walk the line of uncertainty. HOPE makes you vigilant and aware. HOPE is like an umbrella of Prospect embracing you when trouble looms and nudging you when the going gets tough. HOPE is faith. Faith is about believing not just in yourself but also in our Heavenly Father who watches daily over you. HOPE identifies your purpose in life and gives you the passion and desire to serve our Heavenly Father. We are not here to serve man. HOPE makes you place reliance on Almighty GOD. Dear Friends, whatever your predicament is there is a solution. Big problems require complex solutions whilst little problems can disappear like a puff of smoke. Climb the tree of positivity and use every branch to radiate positivity to others that maybe struggling. Start at home with a validation of sincere prayers and then meet the world with confidence and an unselfish purpose. Then candidly offer gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His guidance and protection. To this daily and you will strengthen your faith. Do this sincerely and you will have faith by your side. Do this unselfishly and you will have faith in your heart.

It pays to lend a HELPING hand.

It pays to lend a HELPING hand.

Quote of the day

‘Helping Every Living Person Induces Newer Goals in your life, because a goal a day makes an incredible difference to the world as a whole.’

Thank you for finding the time to read this important article today, written at 09:49am on rather a cold and wet Sunday morning here in good old London Town. I call it important because to HELP someone spontaneously without expecting any rewards is one of the most simplest and endearing humane achievements. However to offer assistance means that you must have a certain amount of finesse. You cannot possibly pull over on a busy road to help someone that is stranded if you do not have any skills to repair a motor vehicle. However you can stop if it is safe to do so to offer the use of your mobile phone to phone for assistance or to just communicate to someone that feels isolated and desolated, especially on a cold and wet day like today. Skills comes from experiences. We can only do so much and when the going gets tough we need expert assistance. Simple twigs and branches from your neighbour’s yard can be cut, pruned or removed but it is the bigger trees that will need the assistance of an arborist. Dear Friends, as we say farewell to May 2015 at the end of our day, June will appear over the horizon tomorrow waiting to accept us for what we are. Can we steer our intent into 30 days of a new month with a bit of positivity and the spontaneous desire and passion to help another human being? HELP is always needed across the oceans, under the vastness of the seas, into the continents of varying cultures, into the battlegrounds that man has created, into the streets of poverty, into homes where abuse is common, into the classroom where children have gone astray and into the natural disaster zones that has devastated so many families and individuals. What can we give without seeking rewards? What can we share from our table to offer alms to those that go to bed without a meal? What can we donate liberally without gaining popularity? This should formulate the structure of your agenda for the month of June 2015 were HELPING another human being should be on your to-do-list. How we do it is not important. What is important is that we do not forget to do it. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls it is important to offer help when help is needed. Helping every living person in the world should be your prime motivation. It creates new goals and establishes better relationships. A goal a day certainly makes the world a better place to live in. 7 billion goals of varying magnitudes per day is certainly a powerful antidote to overcome the ramifications of human greed that spreads like a virus throughout the surface of the Earth.

‘Discrimination vs Differentiation’

‘Discrimination vs Differentiation’

Quote of the day

‘It is painful to discriminate but helpful to differentiate.’

Discrimination is a weakening tool used by all human beings to incite prejudice, unfairness, bigotry and inequality. Our eyes creates the perfect snapshot to initiate discrimination and from our sightings we often resort to fighting, smiting, arguing, disagreeing, lusting, separating, competing or constant challenging. Our success in life is dependent on other people, without whom we cannot exist in a vast planet teeming with opulence and opportunities. Colonisation has created rifts between so many people. New terminologies have been created from the birth of colonisation such as class, segregation and denigration. I say onto you and verily too make friends and not enemies. Don’t discriminate but learn to differentiate. Differentiation is a powerful tool that can be used by human beings the world over to enhance their lifestyles and to promote friendship and love. Differentiation identifies differences between people. You can tell the young from the old, males from females, children from toddlers, students from pupils, the rich from the poor, the infirm from the strong, the weak and the meek, the workers from the retired ones, the sick from the healthy, the unemployed from the employed, the homeless from the sheltered, the refugees from the natives and so on. Learn to discriminate and you topple the balance of your sanity. You get aggressive, angry, bereaved, belittled, unfriendly, sad, discourteous, arrogant and discerning. Learn to differentiate and you start to see life in a different perspective. Differentiation makes you polarise different situations in life. You polarise sadness into happiness, hunger into surfeit, poverty into wealth, sickness into good health, and sufferings into joy and abuse into protection. Don’t judge another human being or grudge them either. Don’t heckle someone but show them speckles of joy and happiness instead. If you see someone today don’t discriminate them but differentiate them instead. If they are young seek to show them by example etiquette, patience and understanding. If they are infirm confirm to them openly that you would like to help even if it is just to walk them across the street. If they are beautiful acknowledge their beauty with love rather than lust. If they are rich become inspired to be as rich as them rather than be jealous of them from the core of your intentions. If they are homeless lend a helping hand, give them something to encourage them to be appreciated. Don’t follow the trial of discrimination that has left the whole world with lost souls and bitterness from above the equator to down under. Follow the trial that is righteous from the start to the very end. Please always carry this motto, ‘it is painful to discriminate but helpful to differentiate.’

Give a little, get a lot

‘Give a little, get a lot’

Quote of the day

‘So many gifts, so much of food. Start giving some away to those that did not get any gifts and for those that hunger.’

356 days is about to pass. 30, 153,600 seconds has already past you. Now the New Year awaits you with open arms. The Earth is about to make another majestic trip around the Sun, and on board this celestial craft amongst 7 billion other cosmonauts is you. Can your celestial journey in 2015 be acknowledged as one of a great humane sacrifice? By this I mean are you willing to go the extra mile with a constant smile. You have learnt the perils of life in years gone by either through personal experiences or by knowing someone that shared a calamity or two in their celestial journey around the Sun. It is indeed a journey of immense sacrifice because apart from seeing to your needs you also have to be familiar with the needs of others. It is hard and it is certainly not easy. If you are in need you expect some form of feed. That is also hard because man is full of greed. He thinks of himself and not of others. A greedy man calculates his assets in dollars and cents and hoards all his assets in a secret cove. Success will never be a happy one for you if you are studded with greed. You need to be a lot more liberal in 2015. You need to give and to take just enough for your own survival. You need to pace the Earth with acts of good and worthy deeds. You need to care about the forest, about the ocean floor and the flora and fauna that occupies it. You need to acknowledge that hunger, poverty and diseases still exist in the modern technological world. You need to give back a part of your salary that you feel comfortable with to those that need a helping hand. You need to shine the torch to those that are weak and feeble in their actions. Starting 2015 with an altruistic approach will render you with solid crates of worthy rewards that befits your personal lifestyle. Life is a challenge but living it should be a personal challenge. As we near the end of 2015 I want you to write down your goals or resolutions again and see if some of them include catering for the needs of others. If not, please include them in your journal to carry with you on your new celestial journey around the Sun.

The Outer Surroundings

Quote of the day

‘Like a cocoon that covers the moth or the butterfly or the soil that keeps the pod submerged the surroundings can be quite a challenge to a new born when they emerge. Survival is about existence and until you are able to emerge into the outdoors vigilant and filled with anticipation you maybe sapped into nothingness by the cruelty of human greed.’

Welcome to another article in a new series of Inspirational Quotes. By popular demand all Inspirational Quotes now appear as an article rather than a series of continuous tweets because it displays a clear and more vivid door to life’s complexities. Reading Tweets just highlights a segment of Inspiration if you manage to catch it in time. Reading an article in its entirety on the other hand makes you, the reader absorb a new and full inspirational dose each day for the betterment of your day. Yesterday we spoke about the inner surroundings of an individual and we spoke about awareness of The Mind, Body and Soul. Today we shall look at the outer part of our existence where the challenge to live has become more and more daring and even when we make mistakes with the objective of correcting them later on new errors are constantly being encountered. The surroundings are changing and rapidly too. Technology has driven away the concept of appreciation and long-lasting into shorter time segments. Do you remember the good old washing machine or TV that would last for as long as 20 years without failure? Today our appliances last barely under 5 years and incur heavy repair bills to sustain the product. Nothing built today is meant to last. Cars depreciate in value by the day and prices of basic commodities are absurd. There is wastages in all spheres of human deployment and yet millions go to bed without food or shelter. We need to engage. We need to get involved and show by example our good intent to the outside world. We need to question why there is deforestation, unemployment, abuse, wars, anger, bitterness and turmoil in a world that holds a magical spell of life for all its occupants. Can you imagine being a visitor to our planet and within a few hours of your stay you become contaminated with illness, sudden shock, conflict and poverty? The seed shall always bear the fruit but why can it not be delivered equally? The cows shall always produce milk but why is it that people still suffer from osteoporosis or improper growth. The bread is made from wheat that grows in abundance but yet people go to bed hungry. The surroundings that occupy your vision irrespective of your geographical location is quite bleak. If you are a student there is less hope to secure a stable job. If you are retired your pension offers a poor lifestyle for the rest of your life. If you are born into poverty it is very unlikely that you will survive past your 1^st birthday. Life is not meant to be like this. Yesterday we spoke about our internal surroundings and the three factors that determine our lifestyle. Today we place emphasis on external surroundings and what can we do to make our lifestyles better. It is all about living in anticipation. Living in anticipation is about been vigilant. If it rains we need to carry an umbrella. If we are hungry we need to eat. If we need money to survive we need to go out into the surroundings and work. Anticipation is also about caring for others too. Sharing your umbrella is a simple gesture, giving away a slice of your bread is a noted sacrifice and donating part of your salary to something worthy or someone worthier is a great humane contribution. Believe in saving not just into your bank account but to save our raw materials and use them wisely and profitably. Do these sincerely and you shall stop nature from being angry. You shall put a hold on tsunamis and tornadoes. Carry an emblem of the peacemaker on your lapel and show the rest of the world that you are an honest and law abiding citizen of The Earth destined to get things back the way they should. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow in another article of the September spirit of succeeding. Hope that you are enjoying these articles and I hope that you will be able to read them on a daily basis.

Don’t worry, do not feel sorry. Do not hurry or scurry, just latch onto the Word of GOD.

Quote of the day: ‘Good day to you Dear Friends and if you feel a little depressed today, lacking hope to cope and lacking the will to live, fear not for life lasts forever and ever but sufferings will last just for a while.’

We often latch onto the wrong leverage for support. We think if we worry then there will be a trolley of wishful helpers waiting to aid our sorrow. If we feel sorry then perhaps a lorry of wishful thinkers will come forward and rescue us. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls you need to latch onto a firmer grip and that is in the Word of GOD. Who else can you ask but me, the person penning this article to enrich your soul with the feel-good of life and the maker of dreams come true. I tasted the bitterness of life like many other people too. Celebrities too that you adore had their difficult moments. Kelsey Grammer admits to a difficult childhood loosing so many family members tragically. Sylvester Stallone will tell you of his homelessness openly. Jennifer Lopez admits being homeless too whilst Daniel Craig remembers those difficult days simply because he did have money. Money is by far the most common denominator to all our dilemmas. It convicts our judgement and it manipulates our prejudgement. I want to tell you that money is not the problem but rather the will to create it instead. We often get misled when we see success in the face of other people. What we need to do is to find out what we really need in life first. If you are homeless, don’t be ashamed for I was homeless on many occasions. If you are penniless, fear not for I too have been without a penny at hand. If you feel that you want to end your life, rebuke from those thoughts. I was very suicidal and today I am very much alive. The wheel is round and you have reached the circumference of your life at the point where it hurts. The wheel of your life is constantly turning and you need to decide to make a change. All good things can last forever but all bad things will only last for a while. Whatever your predicament is there is a solution waiting for you. Download my free eBook and make a start to changing your life. I was touched by The Word of GOD in a breath-taking revelation that changed my life for the common good. The Word is your aperture to make changes. Don’t let the indenture of failure stick with you, remove them right away. Breakaway from fear, or a sudden tear, bear the burden of your load, beware of the jugglers of words that pretend to help using catch phrases and salesmanship to lure you, don’t despair be like the birds that fly and fly, don’t fall in a common snare and be abused for no reason at all, don’t be dazzled by the glare that lures you to overnight success. Just tally along, regroup, identify your needs, build up your spirit, encourage your desires and passions and carry The Word of GOD. GOD is good, always remember that. Man is bad, always be weary of that. Trust Almighty GOD, trust no one else but yourself. Carry your TAG of courage and hope wherever you go. TAG stands for Trust Almighty GOD. Read my blog each day for new inspiration and constant motivation. You can do it, I know because I did it. I tasted the bitterness of life in order to appreciate the sweetness of it. Go well Dear Friends and do well each day.
