What's Love got to do?
No, I am not refering to the song.
Just wanna talk a bit about love.
The very core of love
The desire to give, to benefit; even at the expense of self.
Love gives
Lust takes
Only when you allow yourself to love, to be a channel of love, to give love, as you receive love, then you will understand how to live beyond self
You will do fine

The Land
My grandparents were farmers, when i was a kid i watched them till the land, sow the seeds, remove the weeds, catch the bugs, adding fertilizers, harvest the land.
How I enjoyed having fun helping them do all that. I am amazed by what these fun activities educate me now.
Till the land
Preparation, getting needed information, plan your ways.
Sow the seeds
The more you do, the more you get
(all farmers know that not all seeds grow into a fruit yielding plant)
Remove the weeds
Removing the unnecessary attention drainage. Prioritise.
Don't be doing what you don't need tobe doing.
Catch the bugs
Self checks, change the destructive ways.
Cultivate good habits.
Adding fertilizers
Seek new knowledge and methods. Enhancements
Harvest the land
Time to collect the fruits.
Don't forget to feast a little, reward yourself, have a nice celebration. And it's back to work again.
2 things to take note of:-
1) Affter doing all the right things, yet the land does not yield crops, then it's time to change the seeds, change what you sow. the same plot of land needs a change of crops once a while, to refresh the nutrients in the soil, which is necessary for certain crops.
Do you need a fresh idea, to encourage the people around you, to boost that sales your business needs?
Do you need to try new things? to stay away from that comfort zone, so that you can seek for more?
2) While working to the success of the plot of land, prepare your heart for the 2nd plot, the 3rd plot, the 4th plot, the 5th plot and the many to come.
Never stop expanding!
Don't let the old familiar ways, the small piece of land be a limitation to you. As you seek for more, more is what you will see.

Drought and famine, I love you
Do you believe that drought will never invade your land?
Do you believe that famine will never strike your people?
Many do.
Most would love to say 'yes'.
If that's your answer as well, congratulations!
Think again.
That's right, you didn't blink right?
Think again.
I assure you
Drought will invade your land, your family, your favorite activity which you are so good in, your business, your studies.
Famine will strike your people, your company, those that you feed, those who depend on your for various kinds of support, and even to you yourself.
But!
Never to the extend of total destruction!
A drought is a time when you know rain will come!
A famine is a time when you know provision will come!
Strengthen your heart, prepare your mind, pick up the poor and needy around you, for the rain that stops the drought which brings in the provision you need, is about to come.
Take the action you need to take now, so that you will not miss it.
There is no stopping man in which he has decided.
Dont miss it!

Moth
The moth is attracted to the light of fire, but the fire kills it.
It's not the heat, but the light that is seemingly irresistable.
Unable to resist the attraction of the light, the moth gradually gets so close to the fire and is finally burned to death.
Many times, we are the same, facing temptations.
We are attracted to things which will lead us to destruction unless we make a strong decision to live above temptations.
We have a choice.
Self respect demands discipline to live within certain boundaries, though you are free and unbound.
Self respect causes me to live life right.
Smile.
If we respect ourselves, other will too.
If we accept ourselves, others will too.

Arcade Basketball
Played this before?
Tried breaking the high score record?
Anyone out there with a 100% shooting accuracy?
Guess not.
Think we can agree by experience that if we want to score more, we need to have more attempts at the hoop with best effort at every shot.
Same thing for your dream.
Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.
For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.
Persistence
