OPEN-MINDEDNESS

 Life is not all about what you feel. At times, people would have varying feelings from yours. It is left for you to know what is actually good for everybody because if we are so self-centered that we can no longer look beyond ourselves to do things so as to benefit others but keep thinking about who we are and who we want to be, the planet might have to shrink to fit just us. But it is not so. In Nigeria alone, we have different opinions, modes of dressings, beliefs and even languages but these are not enough to cause problems. 

Wherever somebody faces to reach, there he or she could get to. If you are always looking out for troubles to cause rather than problems to solve, it will not benefit you anything. Truth be told, our days are numbered. Hence, the need to act fast. 

Not everybody will believe in what you say, not everybody will dress the way you like and not everybody will act the way you like but wherever you face to reach, there you can get to. 

In fact, most families are in shambles today due to a single lie, a single criminal act and a single reckless thought that was left unchecked. Would you like to be considered a destroyer where you can build? Of course, no. Take life easy, see things the way they actually are and do not pretend to be rich when you are poor. 

Living a double-faced life has a way of limiting you. No one goes to the farm without knowing what one wants and no can occupy an office without the right tools. Every occupation has a tool that qualifies one to be in it. If you are an Accountant, get certified and if you are a Pastor better get a Bible for one cannot serve God with nothing lest such an one should be considered as serving God in dirt and myriad of misconducts due lack of substance.

Never think you have it all, there is still more to be acquired and that, the right way.

The reason why so many people have soiled their hands in so many evils today is because they see no reason why they should follow the right way because it has the rice of patience to paid. 

Diligence is what makes you to think above your limits and planning is what helps you achieve your goals. Without plans, you can always have a collapsed building, a collapsed destiny and worse still, a collapsed family.

Let us face things as they come and not leave them to chance. Nothing happens by accident else there would be a clash or do you like watching accident scenes? No one except those who are formally there for taking responsibilities of saving people’s lives. So, do not leave anything to chance but soar high to achieve your aims.

There is no maximum limit you can reach. It depends on how you work on it. Mad men never get tired of chasing the wind because they think that that is all they have got to do. To something you must go all out for it, to do otherwise is hypocrisy.

If you want the sea, you must lose sight of the shore and if you want the plain ground, you can as well, forget about the high hills. You cannot divide yourself into two but you can invest your efforts here and there at different times because the seeds we sow today could form the fruits from which we reap of tomorrow.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that you should run mad. What I am driving at is that the word, “MAD.” Is actually an acronym for, “Making A Difference.” And that you must do every day without hurting anyone.
