Use What You Have To Get What You Want

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we today? I'm sure we're getting better by the second. Just when I was going to write about distractions, I thought of some things and I decided to write about this instead. I've not seen anyone without a vision just that sometimes, we just don't know how someone would have the kind of vision they have.

We all have a picture in our head we'd like to look like in the years to come which we all work towards consciously or unconsciously. No matter the vision, how do you go about achieving it? Where are you supposed to start from? What do you need to start with? Many questions that flood our minds that seem to have no answers but here's the good news, the answer is obvious. How do I mean that the answer is obvious, you need to start from where you are, start with what you have and you'll see how it turns out.

When the sentence "use what you have to get what you want" was being said almost everywhere, I very much doubted if it referred to using your unseen resources to get the desired result. We need to use what we have to get what we want and what do we have? Talent, skill, knowledge, power, money? The list is endless but what do we want? Money? Fame? Happiness? Inspire others? Live a better life?
The amazing part is that you can have it all, the good life, money, fame and whatever thing you want because if you're so good at what you do, you'll get a reward from it. Your works will speak for you and people will also speak about your works even in your absence and without your consent but you have to start from here and you have to start now and I mean right now, no procrastination, no excuses, no nothing because at the end, the only person that can stop you is YOU. Truth is, it might not look like it's working out but you just have to remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. You just have to be consistent, don't just do it for a month and stop, keep pushing and watch how life will push good things back to you.

I hope at this point we would eliminate every doubt in our minds and start NOW with WHAT WE HAVE to get WHAT WE WANT through consistency, hardwork, positivity, moving with the right people and above all GOD because whom God has blessed, no man can curse. When you involve God in the affairs of your life, you'll get there faster than mortal strength can take you hence the God-factor should be taken very seriously. On this note, I rest my case. Feel free to share your thoughts by commenting no matter how crazy it sounds because conformity doesn't apply to geniuses.

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Life after Death...real or not?

Life after death....hmmmm      I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died.      I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty.      Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess.      I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day.      I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone.   ...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
