Life & Success Management

It's another day on Life and Success Management ! Thanks for joining us today. Continuing on GET GOD INVOLVED, we are discussing what God will not do for us. This topic is important because there are people who have never dared to ask God for something definite before. They may have 'prayed' before but not the kind that they expect an answer. Others have tried and felt disappointed in God; they say "this prayer stuff doesn't work." God is not an instrument you use when you like and then dump. God is a Person-- the most important Person we all have and need to relate with. We need to understand Him more and more to relate well with Him and enjoy Him in our lives. There are things God won't do. He can if He chooses so but He doesn't and we need to get used to that instead of wishing He will change His mind! As we continue, let me quickly mention that there is a significant difference between trusting God, testing God and being lazy (or foolish some...

Welcome to Life and Success Management .Hope the day has been good? Today, we will continue on Get God Involved by discussing the above topic. "God is so busy," someone said. "Why bother Him with your prayers." Well, God is not complaining, why not involve Him. If the person who made that statement knows God enough, he will also know that 1. God is not as limited in time, wisdom and ability as humans are. He is God and Spirit, not human and flesh; 2. If God is busy, He is busy listening to and replying those who dare to call on Him. That means if you aren't among, you are the one missing out! God is God , that is why He is the only Person that can do what Only God can do ( like listening and responding to our individual prayers at once). God has said, "Call unto me and I will answer you and show you wonderful things that you don't know." (Jeremiah 33:3) God's word, the Bible, states the following, please meditate on them: " Don...

It's another Tuesday on Life and Success Management. Welcome! Today, we will be discussing a very important, often misunderstood topic. Does God have a role in your life and mine? His He even real? If He is, doesn't He have other things to bother about that we should involve Him in our lives? Or is it not just being lazy asking for divine help when we can do something ourselves? There is a God, the only true one Who is almighty, all-knowing and, above all, full of love for every single human being on earth-- including you. In the first place, He should be the central theme and motivation of our lives because non of us-- no matter the circumstances surrounding our conception and delivery-- non of us is a creature of chance; we were created and kept alive for a divine purpose that we get to know as we get closer to God and pay attention to the clues He has graciously placed around us. God wants to be a loving caring Father to us. He is very real and He can speak to (better ...

Life and Success Management: Psychology of Criticism II : Good day and thanks for joining us again on Life and Success Management. Last week we learnt that: Criticisms are neither cons...

Good day and thanks for joining us again on Life and Success Management. Last week we learnt that: Criticisms are neither constructive nor destructive, responses are; Criticisms can be mature or immature;   Immature criticisms are self-centered and does not seek to understand the criticized;   Matured criticism seeks to help and protect someone other than the critic or at least seeks to  understand the criticized view-point Criticizing someone just because you are in physical or emotional pain is immature. We all need to guard ourselves of the fire-for-fire approach to criticism. Your aim, when hurt or embarrassed by criticism is not to hurt the critic. What will you gain by hurting someone who criticized you? Does is it remove the effect of the criticism? No! It only opens doors for more offensive criticism(s) especially when the first was not intended to harm (that is, not immature). Your goal should be to use the criticism to your own advantage a...

Good day! Hope you are taking better decisions and making progress? And hope you are still willing to make more progress? I must apologize for not publishing this post yesterday. I had a sudden change in my program that I am still adapting to. I will keep posts coming by God's grace even if it is sacrificial. You can still check back on Tuesdays but I may publish before then. Today, as mentioned last Tuesday, we will be discussing The Psychology of Criticism . The purpose of the discussion is to let you understand why people criticize because this can help you choose your response to criticism. I am of the opinion that there are no constructive or destructive criticisms, there are only constructive or destructive responses to criticisms. Knowing why people criticize will help you respond constructively to criticism because, as we mentioned last week, you WILL be criticized. Why Do People Criticize? Instead of holding on to the popular believe in constructive or destructiv...
