How to attack your lack

Sometimes we are in financial difficulty because of our own poor choices or mistakes. At other times, there are situations we didn't create that make our lives difficult. There are times we can feel like victims of other people's decisions, of an unexpected illness or accident, or of a wide world economic crisis that threatens our financial future. The playing field is not always level when it comes to our financial security. Our creator is the master in times of

My husband's concubine

Orima, my co-wife has taken my husband away from me. It's as if I am fighting to have my husband back," Agbomma said. "Since her husband my late brother died, I have been taking care of Orima. It's my responsibility to take care of her and her children," he said. Agbomma was very disappointed because she knew it wasn't ordinary. Her loving and kind husband now turned to a monster. Because of her late brother's wife, Orima. Soon Orima gained his trust, Echiozo

How to develop and maintain integrity

Integrity by taking care of the little things— That's why it's crucial to maintain integrity by taking care of the little things. Many people misunderstand that. They think they can do whatever they want when it comes to the small things because they believe that as long as they don't have any major issues—they are doing well—but that's not the way it works. Integrity commits itself to character over personal gain, to people over

Two ways to get started

There are two ways to get started. One was to begin dealing with small issues in life.  Having victory in small areas would give you motivation to overcome larger areas of difficulty The other method for getting started was to deal with the large issues first and then go to the smaller issues.  Change does not happen all at once. Life is a continual process of growth through struggles. Remember nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. Making

Influence and Integrity quotes

The need for integrity today is perhaps as great as it has ever been. And it is absolutely essential for anyone who desires to become a person of influence. Even if you have a negative effect on others in the past, you can turn that around and make your impact a positive one. You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the highest levels of influence, you have to work with individuals. If your life in any way connects with other people, you are an influencer Influence does not come to us instantaneously.  It grows by stages. Integrity sure quality most needed to succeed in business. Character is made in the small moments of our lives. If you nurture others but allow them to become dependent on you, you are really hurting them,  not helping them. Without love there can be no connection no future and no success together. When a person feels encouraged, he can face the impossible and overcome incredible adversity. For most people, it's not what they are that hol

Upgrading from maintenance to multiplication

Everyone has the potential to multiply influence by developing and reproducing leaders. To awaken the reproducer in you, make the following principles a part of your life: Leading yourself well —being able to lead others begins with leading yourself well. You can't just reproduce what you don't have. The number one reason leaders are unsuccessful is their inability to lead themselves. When we think about self leadership, many qualities come to mind, such as integrity, right priorities, vision, self discipline, problem- solving skills, a positive attitude etc. Desire and a game plan for personal development can help you cultivate these qualities but the greatest obstacle to becoming a leader may be yourself of course yourself. All the significant battles are waged within the self. And if you make personal growth, your weekly goal and daily discipline, you become a reproducer of leaders. What we do to some occasion will probably depend on what we already are. And what we ar

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity

Do you know that your influence is either positive or negative?

Now, it's believed that you recognize your influence with others, you must think about how you are going to use it.  Remember, even if you have had a negative effect on others in the past, you can turn that around, and make your impact a positive one.  Most of the time we recognize the influence we have on those who are closest to us in our lives—for good or ill. But sometimes we overlook the impact we can have on other people around us. 

Does everyone have influence?

Influence doesn't come to us instantaneously. It grows by stages.  Everyone has influence. This list is created almost at random, selecting well-known people as well as ones from our lives such as a politician, like president of United States. We have other people of influence like Madonna and other great entertainers who virtually influence an entire generation of people in one or more cultures. You could just as easily do the same thing. We did it to make a point:

What it means to be deceptive

You're my fiancee, we will soon get married. Necessary marriage preparations are being made. I have started making enquiries about your tradition and marital rites," Samankwe said. "But have you bothered to ask me about how to see my parents? Many a time have I told them about you and they have been expecting your visit," Salome said abruptly. "I love you and your love for me is undeniable, we can make this work,"

Are you a compulsive or an obsessive person?

Similarities and differences between obsession and compulsion; Compulsions are similar to obsessions, in the individuals have repetitive, meaningless urges.

Shameless Toyin

Sade was lamenting. "I was on my duty post, yesterday, Thursday afternoon, my boss was at home because he was off-duty. I heard my boss called in whisper, I answered, he placed his cell phone on my ear, what I heard was my madam's sexual moaning. At a point I withdrew my ear and tears profusely trickled down my cheeks. I asked myself questions which I was unable to answer. "Why did my madam decide to cheat on my boss?" My boss is handsome, tall, kind and loving. So
