  • Happy Endings…

    What would you consider a happy ending? Man meets woman, ask woman out on a date, woman says ‘yes’ after playing hard to get, man and woman go on a date, they fall in love, they enjoy spending time together and they decide to make it permanent, man and woman get married and that’s the end? Sorry to break it to you; it’s actually the beginning of a brand new story. Happy ending is not getting married; happy ending is growing old together. Happy ending is making it work, with the one you really love, with the one that treats you right, even when everything is not looking good. 

    It’s not every time that you would ‘feel’ in love with your husband or long term boyfriend, there are times you just loose the sparks in the relationship and he feels like an old buddy, it’s both of your duties to find your way back to that place instead of giving up. You might become distracted if you are having problems with your husband/boyfriend, “oh there is one cute guy in the office that listens to my issues;  oh he’s so attentive! he’s so caring! Oh my gosh, he’s this, he’s that”. But in reality, it’s all a façade. You probably said these same things about your man in the beginning. It’s better you work on your relationship instead of searching for a happy ending in the wrong places. Every relationship takes work, nothing good comes easy, you have to fight for it and if you have a man that is willing to get in the ring with you after putting a ring on it, you better work it out.

    Now tell me, wouldn’t that be a very happy ending?

  • START AN EMPIRE FROM YOUR LIVING ROOM

     

    START AN EMPIRE FROM YOUR LIVING ROOM

    Hello fabulous people, I was doing some light reading the other day and I came across something I would like to share. Despite the economy, we have to find a way to adapt in trying times and make a difference doing it.

    Bola made a difference in her living room. Bola is a twenty-five year old graduate of 3 years that got tired of unemployment, so she decided to do something about it, she had a very good fashion sense and she could turn an old cloth into something special that would have friends and family complimenting. Just as the scriptures say “your gift will find a way for you”, it did for Bola, she started sewing classes to sharpen her skills and then from her parents’ living room she made beautiful gowns that were sold, designing and sewing cloths that would make her known in the future. She might not be driving big cars or spending lots of money yet but she’s never broke and I tell you, she’s well on her way.

    Emmanuel is a banker, he works odd hours and makes very little. Four years into this, he got tired.  During this period, he made a lot of friends in the corporate world, after a lot of research, he realized people spend a fortune on shoes and suits, so he started his own business and from his tiny living room in Mushin, he started making shoes with banners on the front. He has a very successful shoe outfit today.

    Dayo was a student of Obafemi Awolowo University, he wasn’t getting the kind of financial support he wanted from home. It was Valentine’s season and there was love in the air, people were buying gifts for their girlfriends, Dayo thought of a more sophisticated way to package gifts and that was how ‘BOX IT’ was born.
    He got himself some cardboard, scissors, staplers and ribbons and he made beautiful boxes which he sold for a fair price, now he is a married man with a child and he makes boxes for a living. The upstairs of his home is his working studio and his showroom, and he has about twenty people on his payroll, he even teaches people to make boxes, despite the economy, he is making it count.

    SL FABZ! YOU could start a business empire from your living room, we are in the age of internet and computers, everything is easy. You could be a forex trader, you could be a sales rep online, if you have the talent of writing, you could sell your articles online ; there are so many things to do, so many opportunities, you just need to look harder, cast a wider net and think out of the box. Whatever you do fabulous people, make it count!

  • Guard Your Heart

    Guard Your Heart.

    Three Reasons Why You Must Guard Your Heart – Michael Hyatt

    Because your heart is extremely valuable. We don’t guard worthless things. I take my garbage to the street every Wednesday night. It is picked up on Thursday morning. It sits on the sidewalk all night, completely unguarded. Why? Because it is worthless.
    Not so with your heart. It is the essence of who you are. It is your authentic self—the core of your being. It is where all your dreams, your desires, and your passions live. It is that part of you that connects with God and other people.

    Because your heart is the source of everything you do. King Solomon says it is the “wellspring of life.” In other words, it is the source of everything else in your life. Your heart overflows into thoughts, words, and actions.
    Like natural springs, where water flows to the surface of the earth from deep under the ground. It then accumulates in pools or runs off into creeks and streams.If you plug up the spring, you stop the flow of water. If you poison the water, the flow becomes toxic. In either situation, you threaten life downstream. Everything depends on the condition of the spring.Likewise, if your heart is unhealthy, it has an impact on everything else. It threatens your family, your friends, your ministry, your career, and, indeed, your legacy. It is, therefore, imperative that you guard it.

    Because your heart is under constant attack. When Solomon says to guard your heart, he implies that you are living in a combat zone—one in which there are casualties.
    Many of us are oblivious to the reality of this war. We have an enemy who is bent on our destruction. He not only opposes God, but he opposes everything that is aligned with Him—including us.

    Question: What was the last time your heart was attacked? How did you respond?

  • 7 Beautiful and Inspiring Quotes to Help you Overcome Disappointment

    Letdowns and feelings of failure are a normal part of life, and whenever I need a pick-me-up, there are a few great quotes for overcoming disappointment that always help lift my spirits. Do you need a little extra encouragement this week? Here are seven inspiring quotes for overcoming disappointment that will help you feel better and get back on track in no time.

    1. You Will Find That It Is Necessary to Let Things Go, Simply for The Reason That They Are Heavy

    As one of my favorite quotes for overcoming disappointment, this statement reminds me that rehashing things and holding onto negative feelings are incredibly draining. Instead of dwelling on a recent letdown, make a decision to instead simply let go of your sadness and focus on all the positive things the future holds. It may be hard to do at first, but once you manage to let go, you’ll feel much lighter and freer.

    2. Sometimes Good Things Fall Apart So Better Things Can Fall Together


    It’s easy to beat yourself up wondering what you may have done wrong to make a situation turn out the way it did, but it’s by far better to remember that certain things are just not meant to be. In fact, losing out on one opportunity can actually open the door to many new additional ones, so keep things in perspective and never lose hope that there’s something bigger and better waiting for you.

    3. Holding onto Anger Is like Drinking Poison And Expecting The Other Person to Die


    Being let down by another person is always tough, especially when it’s a family member, friend or significant other you’d come to respect and trust. But as difficult as it can be to let go of your anger, it’s important to remember that by holding a grudge, you’re actually hurting yourself rather than the other person. Even if you can’t forgive or forget, vow to focus on the positive things in your life instead of letting anger consume and control you.

    4. Sometimes, You Need to Step outside, Get Some Air, And Remind Yourself of Who You Are And Who You Want to Be


    Many disappointments in life stem from trying to please others and live up to expectations about what we’re supposed to be, believe and do. When life gets you down, however, it’s good to take a step back and determine whether the goals you’ve been working toward are actually right for you or even reflective of the kind of life you want to live. Without a doubt, staying true to yourself and your principles is a surefire way to make life’s inevitable disappointments more manageable.

    5. Too Many People Undervalue What They Are, And Overvalue What They’re Not


    Like the last quote, this statement reminds me that it’s better to focus on the many strengths and positive qualities I have to share than to be hard on myself about shortcomings. As many of us have learned the hard way, you simply can’t please everyone or be all things to all people, so value who you are and focus on the positive differences your love and friendship have made in the lives of others.

    6. Don’t Waste Words on People Who Deserve Your Silence. Sometimes The Most Powerful Thing You Can Say Is Nothing at All


    Yet another one of the best ways to overcome disappointment and keep it from overwhelming you is to remove negative people and influences from your life. I’ve found that it’s rarely worth the energy to try to argue with or change people, so instead of allowing them to disappoint you further, spend your time and energy building relationships with those who have the ability to truly support and encourage you.

    7. You Are Never Too Old to Set Another Goal Or to Dream a New Dream


    Finally, when things don’t work out the way you’d planned, remember that the only true failure in life is to give up and stop striving to be your best. No matter who you are or what stage of life you’re in, it’s never too late to pursue new goals and dreams, whatever they may be. culled allwomenstalk.com
