GRATITUDE: MY BIRTHDAY HEART PIECE

It's a great day! Today I give you a piece of my birthday cake. :)

It's a piece of my heart on my birthday and right now in real time.I am sorry it took me a while, I did enjoy my day, It was a super Sunday,the last Sunday of the year and it was fun at work.I pondered on what more could be my birthday message and I am sure it can be nothing short of a gratitude note.

Yeah! I will live each day in gratitude and today is the beginning of the rest of my gratitude days.In my tweet containing a gratitude harsh-tag yesterday, I noted " I celebrate God!On Monday morning 29th December 27 years ago,after an 18 hour journey. I arrived on God's amazing Mission to earth #Gratitude"

I found in the Holy book the necessity and the wisdom in counting our days and celebrating life, because it is in so doing that we can learn to appreciate more the Giver of life- The Almigthy God, I like to call Him by His wonderful name - Jehovah El-Shaddai.

#GRATITUDE

I am grateful today for the blessing of a sound mind , perfect health and wealth. I appreciate the blessing of People in Family, friends and even foe (if I have any please send me an email inbox). I bless God for the wonderful blessing of a great job, career- which by His grace gets better and greater by the day,I cherish God's blessings of wonderful relationships in my life.

I thank God for the wonderful streams that are breaking into different healthy head flows...the gift of salvation through His son Jesus Christ, His constant divine guidance and protection,and much more.

Looking back these few years of my earthly sojourn, all I can say is 'Thank you LORD!' I am enjoying the glorious adventurous ride with Him and I can truly say, surely OLUWADUNSIN! (my Yoruba middle name,figurative meaning:It is 'sweet to serve or worship the LORD'i.e Serving God is pleasurable)

What he has started, He is able to bring to a perfect end, and as we all start a new year by his grace, If we put our hands in His everlasting hands we aint going to worry for a moment! Because we are in for the best trip of our lives- an adventurous flight to greatness!

To all my friends, family and my colleagues at work who made my day through calls,wishes,prayers, gifts and love ! Thank you, God bless and I love you all!

Cheers!

7 Quick Things you can still do as the year ends!

Gradually the year winds off to a wonderful end, thank God for the gift of life. However, the emotions that this brings can either be of two types, one of exciting fulfillment or the other which is of frustrated disappointment. About a week ago I came up with some tips while updating my end of the year to-do list and I have decided to share them today.

As I write this piece, we have just about 2 days 7 hours and 30 minutes to the end of the year, and I believe the following to-do lists can still make a positive difference.

1.Review your year-round goal: Virtually everyone has a goal or resolution at the beginning of the year.This is point you need to review your entire goals and tick off the ones achieved, my mentor's article previously shared will be very helpful in this regard.

2. Plan and set new Goals: Having gone through your goals and seeing where you have gone wrong with your old goals, now is the time to plan and set fresh goals for the new year. You need to start now to re-strategize and re-calibrate yourself.

3.Pay up and settle old debts: I grew up from the background where it's said half-jokingly 'Do not go into the new year with an old debt" Well there just might be an element of truth in that. These few days might not be enough to pay off all your debts, but it might be just enough to settle some vital outstanding debts. There is an "I-have-scored" feelings you get when you do certain things, settling a debt might be one of them.

4. Invest the remaining time: It's not really how much time you had but the impact you make in the time you have. Invest this short time in learning a new skill, in learning a new computer application, writing a new programme, reading a book or researching or joining a new venture.

5.Do More Positive stuffs: The fact that the year is going to an end isn't enough reason to quit and give up on all thibgs positive and good that you would or might not normally do.Do more positive things, meet more people, network more, go where you have never gone before,build bridges, plant a tree,do some charity works, visit the orphanage or the old people's home,mend broken relationships, do what you have never done before- so far it's good and positive and it contributes to your positive self image.

6.Make more money!: Yeah! It feels good making money legally, especially when you make it doing what you like doing.Money is essential to life, and when else will some extra cash be appreciated if not in the festive period as this.Make some money if you can. Budget and set your financial records straight as the year ends.

7. Be thankful and Grateful: In everything, we should give thanks to God Almighty. In the remaining days of this year, you should thank God for the wonderful gift of life because it's His grace that has kept us away from all evil throughout the course of the year.

I hope this fast tips come in handy as we journey into the new year.

Cheers!

Before The Year Ends by Adeolu Akinyemi

At the beginning of this year, you set many goals and expectations, there were old habits you wanted to stop, and new things you wanted to start. You believed that this year would be your best till date, there was hope and there was aspiration. This year is however about to end, and if you are not careful, like most years, all you will do is gloss over the past and focus on the future. We are so eager to plug into tomorrow that we lose the vital leverage available in yesterday! Don’t be so much in a hurry, pause and reflect. The failures and ruins of yesterday are not useless, they should be the manure for tomorrow. Don’t gloss over the past, learn the lessons!

How have you grown? Our lives have various dimensions, and it’s critical to analyze them all and be able to define how you have grown. Have you developed yourself mentally? Did you merely wish to read books and attend seminars or did you do it? Did you develop any new skills throughout the year? Did you read your bible through? Did you become an obviously better person socially? Did you rise in your career? Did you grow?

Where have you failed? They say experience is a cruel teacher, it first gives you the examination, allows you to fail and then teaches you the lessons. You will not be a bright student if you gloss over your failures and just move on. Where have you failed? Did you attempt any business and not get results? Why? Did you attempt a new relationship that didn’t work? Why? Did you try to develop a new skill and drop out? Why? Did you try to start a project that didn’t progress? Why? Did you lose money? Why? Did you notice any clear failure trends? Pause and reflect over the painful past, the comfort and strength to become an asset lies in this.

Where did you succeed? The little successes you have enjoyed are your confidence boosters and anchors as you take on the future. What have you done successfully? Reminisce over the tales of your lion and bear battles, as they are your anchors as you approach goliath. Faith for the future usually benefits from an anchor from the past. Your experiences of success are deliberately orchestrated into your life because you’ll need them as confidence boosters to take on the bigger future. Don’t forget the conquest of Egypt, remember it, as it always makes you invincible to the next challenge.

Who was who? We are all surrounded by people, whether we are engaging them or not, is another kettle of fish. The people around our lives have different purposes and different roles. Who has been a mentor? Who has been a tormentor? Who has been a friend? Who has been a foe? Who has been a brother? Who has been a father? Who has been a source of inspiration? Who have you inspired? You have to learn by experience who you can trust, who you can work with and who can be a shoulder for you in your time of need. You also need to learn by experience whose hand is a garden of thorns and whose mouth puffs hot pepper. Who has been who in your life, will give you the guidance to strengthen your necessary relationships and walk away from your drainers. You can’t move forward with a crowd that is going backwards. Look very carefully at the people you have surrounded yourself with, and be sure that your destiny will be common. If your friends are not going far, you will not go far, the airplane that is destined for Ghana doesn’t drop passengers in the US. Develop your who is who list, and make concerted efforts to build your relationships. The more I analyze life, the more I realize that all the good things heading your way, are going to come through human hands. Dollars don’t rain they come from others, contracts don’t appear they are by contacts.

Give Thanks! After you have analyzed your year, which you must. You must end it by deliberately wearing the lenses of gratitude and finding reasons to be thankful for how this year has been. Gratitude puts you in line for what God wants to do in your life. Don’t every get into the nasty habit of complaining, to complain is human, to give thanks divine. Be thankful for the good things and the bad things, be confidently assured that everything that has happened to you, has brought you to the precipice of the greatest year of your life. Embrace that thought, and throttle your new year with it!

If you are free and in Lagos for 2pm on Wednesday the 1st of January 2014, you can join us for thanksgiving and prayers and witness my ordination and the inauguration of HCCC positioned to building global leaders. Here is the link to register only if you intend to come.

ON MANDELA : INVICTUS

As the whole world still reflect on the loss of this great icon-Nelson Mandela, I decided to share a poem which the late sage found inspiring while in prison. The Poem invitus was written by William Ernest Henley and also has a movie titled the same name,starring Morgan Freeman as Mandela

Enjoy!

Invictus

BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

Be Inspired!

EXIT OF A GREAT MAN: MANDELA DIES AT 95

The news of Nelson Mandela's death came as a shock, but the great icon has gone to rest after all the struggles and a great life of impact, read excerpts from CNN:

Nelson Mandela, the revered statesman who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid, has died, South African President Jacob Zuma announced late Thursday.

Mandela was 95.

"He is now resting. He is now at peace," Zuma said. "Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father." "What made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human," the president said in his late-night address. "We saw in him what we seek in ourselves."

Mandela will have a state funeral. Zuma ordered all flags in the nation to be flown at half-staff from Friday through that funeral.

Mandela, a former president, battled health issues in recent months, including a recurring lung infection that led to numerous hospitalizations.

With advancing age and bouts of illness, Mandela retreated to a quiet life at his boyhood home in the nation's Eastern Cape Province, where he said he was most at peace.

Despite rare public appearances, he held a special place in the consciousness of the nation and the world.

May his soul Rest in Perfect Peace..
