generalizations.
extreme generalizations are dangerous. sometimes the exception, the outlier is the very pointer you need to identify the need for a new perspective and ultimately the establishment of a new pattern.
-
define your it.
as much as i don’t think life’s navigation is purely logical, as there are other critical lenses to look from. i know that you’re most likely going to keep looking if you don’t expressly know what you’re looking for. a lot of things look like ‘it’ when you don’t have a definition of ‘it’. when…

seeds.
everything starts as seed and anything can be a seed. every visible fruit was once a seed that died after being cast into the ground. every forest, every building, the next best invention or innovation will start as a seed. Ideas, Concepts. Insights – seeds.

embrace hard things.
doing hard things makes you an interesting character in the long run, because in charting those courses not frequently toured, you end up with stories worth listening to.

black, white and grey.
there’s black, white and grey, and grey isn’t isolated from either of them, it’s a mixture of both. white is light, black is darkness and grey is the unhealthy mix, a densely populated category. this isn’t about race or skin color. it’s more about the actors on this world stage. no opinions or perspectives are…

experiences, perspectives and perception
our experiences shape our perspectives and convictions so it’s easy to not see the blindspots that come with our perception.
-
the excellency of wisdom.
the excellency of wisdom is always a beauty to behold when it’s displayed. even the blind would acknowledge it’s fruits, and so it is for folly.
-
association.
no association is neutral and no association leaves you unchanged, whether positively or negatively. every association influences you greatly in more ways than one and being ignorant of this reality makes that influence even more potent. every connection either adds to you or takes from you and a lot of times it’s both ways in…

the unsung cost of light.
being enlightened is always an advantage, a benefit, as every light or revelation you have is a key to ultimate freedom, on a roadmap to a life devoid of chains. i believe that one of the greatest disadvantages in life is being ignorant. ignorance is an opponent you have to continually confront, as in a…

resolve.
resolve, grit, tenacity- being resolute, ardent, unfazed, undeterred, never backing down. this is a character trait that’ll be needed to strike a chord in time that posterity will remember positively you for. you have to understand that life has it’s ways of testing your vision, as if to say- do you believe it? how far…

broken.
embracing pain pressed but not crushed temporarily struck down but it’s not for destruction being stretched but yielding obedience when it’s contrary to intellect understanding that promises trump challenges and circumstances dying to live again knowing that situations don’t represent a lack of love because pruning means there’s fruit and the bending is making room…

trust.
it’s more than a token, it’s a currency. a legitimate unit of purchase both in the physical and spiritual worlds. spiritually it’s hinged on faith, belief. in the natural world it’s crux is honour for value, integrity, reputation or loyalty. it can be sown, grown, multiplied and ultimately harvested, it also can be lost. a…

perspective.
perspective is reality and i believe this statement to be true. in trying to contextualize this subject, i found a dictionary definition that stood out to me, it defined perspective as a mental prospect and i agree. i personally define perspective as a vista, a point of view that can be conceptualized as a pair…

one year of walking on water.
It’s been a year since I yielded to God’s instruction of leaving it all behind to walk with him. Everything had to be left behind, my old way of life, friends, structures, income stream, I had to leave it all. I first heard the instruction about 3 months prior,I struggled, wrestled with the idea of…

understanding ii – the ode.
understanding is the midwife between assimilation and replication.It’s the proof that you have substance, although not seen, and the token that reveals that you can give it. understanding proves that you have the practical know-how. it’s the midwife that helps birth fruit from the womb of a body of knowledge.it’s the proof that you really…

understanding.
ever wondered why reproducing information doesn’t directly translate to results? over the last few months, i’ve pondered on why information, no matter how refined it was, never directly translated to useful, sustainable artillery even when the information was genuinely without guile. that made me realize the need to know what revelation was, and discovered by…

musing aloud.
One of my greatest desires is to let the world understand that the spirit of God is an advantage. To put the holy ghost’s wisdom, might and power on display for the world to see. I’ve learnt by experience and knowledge that in this world of men, those with exceptional results achieve it by…
