Little Things That Matter In Life

20 Comments

What exactly  does it mean when that word LIFE is mentioned? It’s all about everything that surrounds us, that goes on in our environment, people, character, it encompasses everything that makes us human, both known and unknown. According to the Wikipedia, it says life is partially a process not a substance. Life is not a nightmare.

There are various things that matter in life which cannot be compromised, but I would like to lay emphasis on the little things that matter in life.

However take note that some of this little things are very important to some of us in our daily lives and cannot be underestimated. Little things that matter to you might be the greatest need in life for others or better-still for you-eddaz.

I met a guy once who told me that women matter a lot in his life, I asked why and his reply was that, women made him who he is, women love him for no particular reason and would go at any length to make him have every one of his needs. For me, it sounds kinda funny but it’s actually an essential little thing which turned significant in his life.

We need to take cognizance of this little things in out life, what are there values, how far have they journeyed with us. Writing matters to me but it’s of no relevance to some people, most important thing is it matters to me and I would love to explore it more.

“It has been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important”-The memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

For some of us little things that matter to us could vary from family, career, education, health, for some of us, it’s clothes, makeup kits, gadgets, flowers, sharing gifts, having get together functions, sporting events, watching movies, singing, name it….However how little it seems, the most important thing is it matters to you, so keep enjoying it, you might look back down memory lane and realise it was a life saver for you  or something bigger. If the things that matter in your life are totally wrong, then give up on it. We have to stop gaining pleasure from things that hurt people so bad.

For me little things that matter are gestures like opening doors for the elderly people, helping someone in need, a little smile goes a long way for me. ..Try to encourage little things in life such as sharing with the less privileged, a little assistance for the needy, kind words to people around you, keeping the environment clean, a little tip once in a while as sign of appreciation.

Challenge yourself today that henceforth each day or trice a week you will buy a plate of meal for someone in need, give out some of your old things, you never know who might be in great need of this things. Take note of your environment and do the needful.Go on a short trip, have fun…

The Warrior Became Daring

13 Comments

It was a mission that seemed impossible to complete.

After the first battle was fought, he could no longer raise his arms for war. Once the greatest warrior, he now wondered—would he always be?

Before him stood a multitude, their faces stormy and fierce, their cries demanding action. Children reached out, and women dared him to grant the freedom they longed for. He struggled to rise, urged on by the crowd, his strength tested—but he fought. He conquered. He set them free.

At last, he found his lover, pulled her into his bruised, victorious arms, and kissed her with renewed fire.

Be daring. Conquer your battles.
Be daring. Rise to every challenge.
Be daring. Claim what is yours!

Be daring to claim what’s yours!

Cracking the Nut On Monday

35 Comments

Monday starts a new  working day, much of the weekend fun, ravishing and excitement is back in the knap sack. You’ve been up as early as 4 A.M, plans for the day starts, thoughts about meeting clients, Monday meetings, challenges of having to facing “hard to crack clients” gives one headache.

You are at work right now, and guess you don’t even know where to start. Someone out there is probably having a headache, thinking about how to meet the target, or if a query is coming any time soon. It could as well be that you are thinking of quitting your job. You are almost feeling sick in your guts and wishing you had stayed back in bed. You are probably still on your way to the office having this fear at the pit of your stomach that you might loose your job today!!! Blah, blah, blah.

We all have horrible thoughts on Monday, if not all, then a great percentage of us. The good news is that, this is what Monday actually is:

M- Magnanimous

Today is an opportunity to stand out as a great person, be large at heart, be tolerant to people around you, remember they also wish they are still in bed. Whatever you perceive from people today is just a perception of what is in their own head, don’t take it personal.

O- Optimistic

Say to yourself – I am not a PESSIMIST. Get up, go out there and conquer, today proceeds the journey … be hopeful that you will win the trophy, be affirmative, have that “I can do it spirit,” don’t feel weighed down.

N- Neat

Look exceptionally neat today, it signifies you mean business and want to make progress this week. It profoundly portrays the image of a serious minded person. It speaks VOLUME; Neatness makes us feel that we have to be at the best behavior.

D- Determination

Walk into the office, smile, do not get upset with people or situations today, both are powerless without your reaction. If you are your own boss, set targets for yourself, be up to the task, take your kids to school with the mind set that today is surely certain.

A- Astounding

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today-Abraham Lincoln.

Dazzle, be impressive, be strong at heart-DISTINCT sets you apart.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to LOVE what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU FIND IT- Steve Jobs.

Y- Yippee

Friday is TGIF, just as Monday is “TGIM” Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too.

I hope this makes you have a positive attitude towards Monday, IF not, at least it will prepare you for the journey.

Little Changes That Makes A Man

17 Comments

Change is part of our daily lives that cannot be avoided, how we react to it is what matters. Accepting change in our lives gives room for the bigger picture. This picture is determined by you and only YOU.

Not accommodating change keeps you fixed in a position you don’t belong. The universe is in a constant change, not moving along with it can leave you behind. Imagine a ball rolling on the ground, moving constantly, your decision not to run along to grab the ball will make you loose it. A little change from that fixed position was all you needed to catch that ball for you to be a winner. Instead you stayed back and watched with fear of running along to catch it, you were scared of loosing or stumbling.

If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living- Gaily Sheely.

Resisting change is a reflection of who you are, accepting change makes you the highflyer-Eddaz.

Reasons why change should not be resisted:

Man resists change due to fear of the unknown. The greatest fear you should have is resisting change, so you are actually scared of what is right in front of you which is harmless, “stare into the eyes of what you fear most.” Stop having that fear of change, it might just be the solution to that knocking headache.

Morale is increased when change is accommodated, staying in the same position in an organisation makes you burn out; do something new that will lead to that change, motivate yourself if you aren’t motivated, “make the change, don’t wait for the change to come.” If you have to study further, then do that. If you have to search for a better job, then do just that.

Accepting to change your location might be what you need to meet -the-one, aha. Face that fear, travel to another state or country if the need arises or if work requires you to do so, it might just be a “blessing in disguise.”

Kindly share with others what change you have embraced in your life and how it felt.
