YOURSELF BEFORE OTHERS.

Thinking of others above ourselves is not an easy thing to do and come to think of it, is not expected of anyone. Even the bible says "Love your neighbor as yourself and not more than yourself".

Now many people think they love themselves when in actual sense they don't. Their actions speak the contrary of what they think. You must think of your own good before you can think of the good of others. You must be able to help yourself before you can help others.

Now i just heard over the news on Silver bird television (STV) of how a 64 year old woman was caught at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport Lagos for drug trafficking, she being a mother and of course a wife.

Now tell me, do you think she loves herself and thinks of her wellbeing not to talk of thinking and loving the 'others' in her life; her family and friends? This is a call for us to realize that whatever we do does not only reflect in our lives but also in the lives of those attached to us in one way or the other.

Life is full of beautiful things and experiences for those who will do what will bring out the beauty in life for them to possess. I bet that its people like that woman that was caught drug trafficking that will tomorrow say things like " life is hard o" or "this world is wicked".

We must take responsibility for our actions, actions that could in turn bless or curse those around us. The choice is ours to make, now and always.

the beauty of friends

i just got my own blog and its exciting. i have always wanted to have an avenue where i can share my thoughts, ideas, experiences and lots more. i love people and i love talking or encouraging.

the title of my first post is ' the beauty of friends' and this is so because i have great friends, though i'll be talking about a particular one that has proven to me that a good friend is priceless.

life for me has honestly not been the same since i hooked up with this friend and it's been like 7 years going. friends i think are for the good and the bad times and that's it with this my friend.

i first met her because she wanted to help. though i was a distant acquaintance then, she still offered to help me in a way that for me is hard to forget so many things i have learnt about life is linked to her in some ways- passion for excellence n success, wealth, love and life.

did i tell u that i speak french very well, that's kudo's to the efforts she made to assist me when i needed to.

now, i'm writing to you. this is because i was inspired by her wanting to share with the world what she knows through her blog.

this friend is compassionate and caring, she is one great encourager and a great fighter.

i could go on and one but....! do you have a friend? someone who can have your back anyday and time? are you a friend indeed?

i have one, she is Tamunoibifiri Mobolaji kamson and she is teaching me to be one and as such i dedicate this blog to her and to the good that she embraces.
