UNTOLD SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE: THE WAY UP IS DOWN!

-
Good morning. Just a short one!

Have you noticed that: 

  • The high fliers in life have experienced the lowest ebbs of life. 
  • The best motivators have been suicidal at one point or the other.
  • The most successful people are people who understand by first hand experience what poverty is all  about. 
You can't afford to complain about how bad things are for you. You need to change your perspective of seeing things, because what you are complaining about marks the correct road to your greatness. 

Even movie producers realise that the protagonist needs to pass through a hardship or the other to truly be victorious. 

  • There is no victory without challenge.
  • It wont' be a task if it wasn't tasking.
  • It won't be a worthy fight if it was easy.


 The road to glory is tarred with thorns.

Don't expect life to be easy for you.

Suicide? 

What are you thinking? Did you really expect to become a gladiator without training?

Listen:


The author of the Book and eventually the Film Franchise "Harry Potter" was going through some hard times three years to the books publication in 1994. She had just gotten a divorce, was on government aid, and could barely afford to feed her baby. She had her manuscript rejected dozens of time and was published by  Bloomsbury, a small London publisher, only after the CEO’s eight year-old daughter fell in love with it. 


 Who doesn't know Tyler Perry. In case you don't, he is an American actor, comedian, filmmaker, writer, and songwriter, specializing in the gospel genre.  In 2011, Forbes named him the highest paid man in entertainment; he earned US$130 million between May 2010 and 2011. Well Tyler had a rough childhood. He was physically and sexually abused growing up, got kicked out of high school, and tried to commit suicide twice—once as a preteen and again at 22. At 23 he moved to Atlanta and took up odd jobs as he started working on his stage career. In 1992 he wrote, produced, and starred in his first theater production, I Know I’ve Been Changed, somewhat informed by his difficult upbringing. Perry put all his savings into the show and it FAILED miserably; the run lasted just one weekend and only 30 people came to watch. He KEPT UP with the production, working more odd jobs and often slept in his car to get by.


Listen, hardship and difficulty is not unique only to you. Everybody, even your celebrities have had their own share of rough and hard times. 

So, get off your depressed mood and start seeing your hard times as an avenue to break into you own!

It is never too late!

Just keep pushing, even when it seems nothing is working.

Keep keeping on! 

Push through to the end cause your breakthrough is nearer than you think!!!

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

-

An unhealthy lifestyle will raise your blood pressure over time. And the higher your blood pressure becomes, the higher your risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. But the good news is that if you have high blood pressure, healthy changes will help to bring it down. And you don't have to wait until you have high blood pressure to make healthy lifestyle changes. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke will be. 1. Blood Pressure Diet - Eat less salt Too much salt raises your blood pressure, so it is important to eat as little as possible. In fact, some people with high blood pressure may be able to avoid blood pressure medicines by cutting down on salt. Most of the salt you eat is not what you add to your food, but is in prepared foods like bread, breakfast cereals and ready meals. Don’t add salt to food when cooking or at the table. When shopping for food, check the labels and choose low-s...

Marriage is like Sky Diving ...

First of all, let me show you some precautions for skydiving: 1. Safety is EVERYONE'S responsibility. 2. Don't ever get complacent. 3. Review your emergency procedures before the jump. 4. Get a gear check before the jump. 5. Always approach the plane from the rear. 6. 200 jumps are required before undertaking the jump. 7. Perform handle checks before preparing to exit the plane. 8. Be very aware of everyone around you at break-off. 9. Be mentally prepared for malfunctions and always be ready to perform your emergency procedures. 10. Know which way is North, South, East, and West on the jump. Now, simulate that to marriage and you have an amazing recipe for a sensible marriage experience. I say sensible because that should be the baseline for any marriage. And also some marriages I see these days are so insensible. Please take note of the following if you are about to undertake a skydive (marriage): 1. This action is dangerous. It gives a high. Yes. It's very satisfying. Yes...

THE SCISSORS METAPHOR FOR MARRIAGE!

I've been encountering some amazing posts recently! Please read! E. I. Oputa approves this post! *** Copied *** SCISSORS COUPLES: 👫✂✂✂ I needed to use the scissors this morning & as I finished with it, I looked at it carefully & I saw that, the scissors models an ideal couple. Let's see some lessons every couple should learn from the scissors so that we can become better couples & build enviable homes. LESSON 1: The scissors is always in pairs & that's where its usefulness is. Once you see one part & the other part is not there, it is useless no matter how beautiful it is. The effectiveness of every marriage is lost when couples are not together. Separation & divorce destroy the effectiveness & usefulness of every marriage. Remember, 'united we stand, divided we fall'. Separation is not only when you separate physically & you are no longer living together. There are many couples who are together under the same roof but are spirituall...
