My wish as always is that you will have a Happy Monday.
One of the eternal principles known to man is that where there is no sowing there will be no reaping. My father was a farmer and one of the things he taught me was to know when to plant the various crops. He also selected the best seeds to plant because for him farming was the means by which he earned his livelihood and supported his family.
One of the interesting things I learned about farming was that it came with many unpredictable and uncontrollable circumstances. Sometimes although everything was done right the crops failed. At other times for no explainable reason there is a super harvest. Farming is risky investment but it certainly bring joy.
All of us do not consider ourselves as farmers but all of us have thoughts and ideas and for those of us that envision wealth and prosperity our ideas will have to serve as the seeds that we plant toward these goals. One of the things I learned in farming is that many plants that I thought did not have seeds did have seeds and those seeds remain in the ground for years waiting for the right conditions to grow.
There are such circumstance which necessitated continuous sowing irrespective of whether the conditions are ideal or not and so too are our ideas. Some ideas serving as seeds immediately die because the soil is not right, other lay dormant in the ground waiting for the right conditions to grow while other grow and flourish immediately.
If we are to create our own wealth then you and I have to begin sowing our thoughts and ideas. The fascinating thing is this we do not know which idea will immediately grow and begin to bear fruit. We should also bear in mind that sowing and harvesting does not occur at the same time.
Begin sowing those thoughts and ideas today.

Forward march
My wish for you is that this will be a Happy monday.
Mondays are exciting because it brings with it a chance for a new beginning. Changes can occur anytime and anyplace but Mondays allows for the plotting the path for the coming week. This is somewhat based on the calendar that is presently in use.
One of the elements that should be avoided as we look at new beginnings is that of covetousness. Covetousness is essentially thinking that the other persons is too good for him but in our possession it would enhance our prestige. All we need is to set our standards of expectation higher and look at our own source of motivation.
One of the biggest hindrance that many persons face presently is being told to be content in their present state. This is especially tough when many persons see no end to the possibilities that exists within their scope. It is a rare few that really want to see you surpassing their achievement.
This week be not content to fit into the mold that others have cast for you but look at the endless possibilities that is before and begin a forward march.

Moving forward
My wish is that this will be for you a super great and Happy Monday.
Quite often you may have listened to a motivational speaker telling you that if you want to develop speed then you have got to learn to run with the horses. The thing is however that some of us are not built for speed but our strengths lies somewhere else. This will not affect our ability however to become great and successful. The thing to do then is to know where your strength lies and develop that strength so that you become the best.
As humans all of us carry multiple generations of genes from both parents and no one know what genes will become dominant in our live. This allows us to be different from our parents while at the same time being like our parents because we learn from them.
In life we all have to determine who we are and work on our strengths. History continue to produce great men and women without there being a real formula for being great. Motivators try to move you toward being great but you have to know where your true calling lies.
I like the advice to pursue what comes to you naturally but at the same time not to ignore those that see potential and possibility in you. If you are going to follow a formula for success make sure that formula is one for your calling. There are countless formulas for success floating out there.
This week pursue what comes to you naturally but do not ignore the advice of others.

MY wish for you as usual is that you will have a Happy Monday.
Time it is said waits for no man and while many persons wait for the right time the years silently slip by. Life does not give any instrument to measure the appropriateness of the moment neither is there any surety of success to reward our efforts. The reality is that life comes with a host of uncontrollable factors and no one is ever adequately prepared for these uncontrollable factors.
There are seasons in life however and it is our responsibility to recognize and capitalize on these seasons. The reality is that the probability of thing going right as a result of our efforts is far greater than that of nothing happening. Even in failure there are benefits but a person does not need to look on failure but the person can dream of success.
Now is the season to pursue dreams and aspire to reach the stars so move forward to achieveing great things in 2015.

Happy New Year
My wish is that you will have a Happy New year and that you are having a Happy Monday.
There is a saying that any dead fish can float downstream but it takes a live fish to swim upstream. 2015 is here and day by day it will go by. If targets and goals are not set then it becomes a case of going nowhere and at the end of the year that is exactly where a person could end up, nowhere.
This year no one is stop you and I from setting nobler goals than those of 2014. No one is stopping you and I from aiming to reach the stars. If the stars appear to be too far then aim for the top of the trees.Some persons will easily discover that the trees are just too close and require no effort to reach their top. They need to aim higher.
Desire attracts opportunity and effort attracts energy.
At the start of this year 2015 your resolve will be tested. Circumstances will seriously test how much you want what you desire in 2015 and once satisfied that you are serious circumstances will make the necessary provisions.
Go forward into 2015 and achieve great things.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas
My wish is that you will have a happy Monday and a Merry Christmas or which ever of the holidays you celebrate at this time of the year.
An ancient Jewish sage millennia ago in his reflections asked the question, What is man? At the time his knowledge was limited to YHWH, angels and man. The Christmas story is so fascinating that today it begs that the question be asked all over, What is man?
The Christmas story set the tone for modern day thrillers. It began millennia ago with man getting into trouble with YHWH his creator because man tried to become like YHWH his creator but went about it the wrong way.
Christmas is about YHWH setting man on a right path again by becoming a man so as to fully understand man his creation. The story does not stop here because as the story unfolds YHWH is providing the way for man to be adopted in his family and while not making man into gods he gives man the opportunity to be adopted into the family of God and by virtue of this man can become the sons of God.
The Christmas story continue to bring joy, hope and change. There is no denying the changes that occur in the lives of those who hear, understand and believe the Christmas story. It is the joy of seeing the changes in the lives of those who believe that make the Christmas story worth continuing telling.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Holiday reflections
MY wish for you is that you will have a happy Monday.
The holidays are here and it is fascinating the number of religions that commemorate significant events during the month of December. Western countries cannot escape Christmas and the joy and happiness that comes along with it.
I once heard a comment that Jesus Christ and Charles Dickens gave us Christmas. Some may find it strange that Charles Dickens should be mentioned but his book A Christmas carol seems to have inspired the giving of gifts at Christmas. It remain fascinating in the present however that Christmas is more about toys for the children, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and Santa Claus. It is becoming more and more unpopular and politically incorrect to mention Jesus Christ. There are attempts being made to even ban the mention of Christmas.
What if the story of Jesus Christ is true? What if our pride and ignorance is making us stupid and blinding our own eyes to truth.
We are living in a time when historians will have much difficulty in recording the truth. More and more we are being fed lies as our governments are being deceived and the government in turn feed the lies that it is fed to it people. Our governments are powerful and sovereign and at most history will record them as deceivers and the truth may never be known because valuable information are destroyed to avoid the truth ever becoming known.
Christmas however is about Jesus Christ coming into this earth and living as a man. The interesting thing is that Jesus Christ is believed to have accomplished what he set out to do in approximately three and a half years. The work was carried on by those he trained and his message continues until today.
The impact and influence of the church and Christians on western societies cannot be ignored neither can history be rewritten. Western societies have the genes of the church and Christianity so it may be a good time to reflect of the reality of Christmas.
Have a happy holidays and a merry Christmas.
