Lesson9: Plan

This word,as simple as it sound is so profound.

One of those school days I remember stopping twice along the way just to take a better view of the road and figure out how to pass through;simply because the road was messy and I had to be very careful else I raise dirt on my clothes.

These two pauses reminded me of how important it is to take some time out,every once in a while to make plans on how things should go.

Have you ever had an idea,spoken to in fact several people about it and then end up not doing it?
Its usually because of one of two things-you didn't have a plan or something else got in the way and choked your plan.
A plan is simply a road map you have for what you are all about per time. One of the reasons I believe people do not plan or find it difficult to plan is because we always want to be doing something! You get so used to doing so many things that it gets uncomfortable doing nothing.

To plan is simply to pause and deine how things should go.

Though there are different levels of planning,I am talking here about a plan that governs your routine or life per time.
The truth is that everyone and every other thing will get into your time if you do not have a plan and you will end up though busy,not fulfilled.
Having a plan and sticking to it is a way of developing discipline. One agenda after the other,one day after the other and before you know it you begin to exercise discipline in your life.

Planning will require you to say no to some things that really may be pleasurable. Yeah.There are times I have wanted to continue with an activity or engagement but had to leave or discontinue it because I had to go to whats next on my to-do list. This actually made me to begin making the best use of every little time I get or have.Like,I make it as quality quality you get as I can..yh!

You don't want to have a deep desire for what you believe is right for you to do and then endup not been fulfilled.

Taking time out to plan provided you with direction. It makes your journey clearer,makes every time worth it. It makes your conversation or actions tailored in the right direction.
The truth is, making a plan for yourself is powerful,if you allow your plans drive you. They always,always bring a strong sense of not just fulfillment but confidence in yourself.

In planning,a balance is needed. A balance of work,school,study,cooking,fun and every other thing you do. Oh YEAH!

This part of balance was a little shaky or challenging for me but its something I believe one has to learn unlearn and relearn to do as time and seasons pass by!
Balance is important so you don't crash!! Hehe...

Every time you realize you have fallen off track,get back on track and pick up the pace!That's the only way to get to your destination. But hey, you don't want to even do that in the first pace,you want to stay consistent.

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

FOCUS N or P

I’m sure you are wondering by now, what does focus N or P mean? Yeah,its worth the think. I’m sure you are familiar with the way a camera works, at least to some extent. The android phone/iPhone users can own this complement. You’ld often realize that some pictures don’t come out ‘fine’ or clear because whoever was behind the phone did not focus it right. Having seen the picture, you be like ‘omg this picture is blurry’. How many have friends who take blurry pictures (winks.)- this is by the way.(I do that sometimes). Youl’d realize that one or two taps on your android phone makes the image much clearer. For my photographer folks, a gentle turn of that Nickon D3300’s focus ring  and or zoom ring would give a perfect picture.  Just like a camera can produce both positive and negative images, so also our minds, based on our focus. In Numbers 13:30-31, Caleb and Joshua happen to bring back a good report as compared to the report of the other representati...

#misfit

Attachments area Preview attachment IMG4F8C It was one of those days in September (2015). I had this outfit on to class. I sure did feel good and confident in it :) . I'm getting to class and couple of my group mate are amazed! (that expression between shock and cool). Yeah! I've never really dressed in that kind of style before. .... As I walked down the street,I actually did think about people been surprised at my outfit for the day. But then,I thought,this may not be my conventional style but someone will see me and get very comfortable been his/herself. Why?- someone else can resonate with their style.That alone gave me some more confidence with every step I took. Every other person is classy and elegant but you are bohemian  Every other person is corporate but you are casual Everyone seems to have it all figured out but you are lost. Everyone seems to be short but you are tall Everyone seems to be doing life big but you can't st...
