Quote of the day - Justin B

Image
"No matter how talented you are, Not everybody is going to like you. But that's life, Just stay strong." -Justin Bieber You have to accept the fact that not everybody is going to like you,  not everybody is going to accept you,  and you certainly cannot keep everybody happy.  Some people will find fault, no matter what you do.  You can be there for them a thousand times in a row,  but they will remind you repeatedly of that one time when you couldn't show up. Yes, we should be kind and loving,  but don't spend too much time trying to please somebody who is impossible to please.  Until they deal with their own issues on the inside,  they are not going to be happy.  Say "I'm not going to play up to them. I'm not going to try to keep them happy,  because I know no matter what I do or don't do,  a month later, they're going to be running me down".  Tremendous freedom results when you acc...

Conquering Your Fear of Lack

Image
"But they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord  {by right of their need and on the authority of His Word},  none of them shall lack any beneficial thing' - Psalm 34:10 It's okay to grow up in poverty, as long as the poverty does not grow up in your thinking.  One celebrity was asked how he felt about growing up in poverty. Amazingly, he confessed that he still suffered anxiety over having  enough in the future. So he tended to be overly frugal, viewed his money as somewhat surreal, and wasn't able to relax and enjoy the blessings that come with success.  However, his wife had brought balance to the relationship with the mindset of give, spend, and save.  Who do you believe is responsible for your success, yourself or God? As long as you are, you'll remain vulnerable to people, circumstances, and economic conditions. But when you know God's responsible for your success, what you gain you can maintain.  So ...

The Servant Leader

Image
"If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;  ye also ought to wash one another's feet." - John 13:14 Read: John 13:13-17 13 - Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 - If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 - For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17 - If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. The Servant Leader One great difference between servant leaders and self-serving leaders is that servant leaders always look at leadership as an act of service, while self-serving leaders view leadership as a high status and spend most of their time trying to protect their status. Servant leaders would embrace and welcome feedback, viewing it as a source of ...

Don't stop being a Great Friend...

Image
DESPITE all ODDS....Don't stop being a 'GREAT' friend.... it's a path to GREATNESS also ! #damiequotes  Building relationships with people is part of life.  We all form strong friendships  that make our lives healthier and happier.   However,  some friendships may be more harmful  than they are helpful. As a highly progressed human,  you will wish to prevent being around pessimistic people,  even if the option is being alone.  It is necessary that you spot adverse people as quickly  as possible so that you cam take proper action.  Unfavorable people will try to undermine  your positive outlook in any methods they can.  They will bore you with gossips and bad tidings,   continuing to tell you the negative things in their lives  when you already understand more about them  than you care to understand.  They will influence you  to begin seeing nothin...

5 Ways to get the most Out of your Lazy Day

Image
The body just needs that no pressure, just a day when you are not feeling watched, overwhelmed or having to impress anyone. And I do firmly believe we all do have that ' lazy day '. Let me know which day of the week is your lazy day. Maybe it is in between the weekdays for those that do not do 9-5 jobs and most weekends for the working class. I feel I should be talking about motivational things but I personally think we all need to rest our body and slow down for a while and just be rested.   "Eat better. Run more. Sleep earlier. Wake up earlier. Drink water. Eat fruits. Read books. Adventure. Talk less. Listen more. Feel  deeper. Love better. Open your eyes. Experience Life. Be happy". Assuming all of us have a ' lazy day '. A day when we don't feel like doing anything.....It could even be on a Sunday or a Saturday. There are some Saturdays after Friday where we went partying or staying up to watch movies and stuff and incidentally, we don't r...

Secrets of Master Presenters Scott Harrison Founder of Charity: Water "Harrison combats the general apathy toward giving  by communicating the great need by connecting with his audience on an emotional level through storytelling." Key Takeaway: Tell Stories that Resonate 'This woman, Helen, actually told us she felt beautiful  for the first time because she now had enough water  to wash her face and her clothes - Scott Harrison Secrets of Master Presenters Steve Jobs Founder of Apple "On stage, Job was articulate, nimble, and steadfast.

They Killed Her 40 Relatives! She Forgave Them!

Image
An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.  Years ago, there was this BBC story of a Congolese woman who was taken captive by militants along with 50 of her family members. Forty were shot dead in her presence. Her brother's private part was cut and he was killed for refusing to sleep with her She was forced to strangle her child and was later raped by 19 men. She was stripped naked from the day she was captured to the day she escaped to tell her story. This woman was not a sister of Mother Theresa or a niece of Oprah Winfrey more does her maiden name bear Mandela! She as an ordinary, local, village woman who couldn't even speak English. When interviewed on her hospital bed on what she thought should be done to the militants if they were caught, this poor, uneducated woman said as Christian who believed her Bible, she...

How I Cleared my Acne to Get Clear Skin

Image
Guys, I have been loving my skin lately, wearing less makeup and showing off my beautiful nourished and healthy skin. My skin has been so good to me that I have decided to write a blog post on how to truly be acne free, and share my tips and experiences on how to have smooth and silky skin. Let me start by saying, all my adult life I have never had smooth skin, I have had to deal with allergies, spots, pimples, and acne. This caused me to rely on the use of makeup  t o feel a 100, even if it's a thin layer of makeup, powder or a light touch up on my skin . There was even a time I felt I was going to be a makeup artist, because I was fully prepared! Anyway my skin properly started to go haywire when I fully returned back home from the United Kingdom where I had gone for my higher institution learning. You know over there, the weather was cool and I never really had a lot of skin irritations, plus the products there were 100% authentic. Then, I had not really d...
