16/11/2023

Would you rather choose a job, with a moderate pay and satisfaction over good remuneration without job satisfaction?

This year, never begin a sentence with ''I SHOULD HAVE''. Start the year with the GOD now, that it's still fresh. Discouragement gives birth to an ''I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE'' in you. Most successes are built on a multitude of failures.
It's in doing so that you can be sure of being in charge and being the one calling the shots.

✍️REALITIES OF RETIREMENT✍️

1) You are no longer popular in your office.

2) Avoid going to your former office without invitation. Where it's absolutely necessary inform an officer of your visit so that you can be received.

3) Know that not everyone liked you while at work & now have an opportunity to snob you.

4) Keep in touch with your old school mates* as you grow in retirement because some Pharaohs in Egypt may not know your Joseph.

5) Attend celebration of old school mates. Its always a *reunion* with lots of fun.

6) Only a few of the people you assisted (including family members) will come around to see you often.To others you have nothing to offer.

7) Plan your days & follow your plan. Sometimes when you look at your uniform with all the medals, you have a feeling of emptiness. Get yourself occupied.

8) Travelling is great, visit places of interest and enjoy your travels.

9) Eat right, enjoy your meals but down excessive sugar, salt, fats and oils.

10) Do your medical check-up even when you feel healthy.

❤️Enjoy your retirement.

*NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH*

✍️Build your own house where you will live in your old age.
Build businesses that will feed you in your old age.

✍️Create conveniences that will engage you in your old age.

✍️Build friendship and goodwill that will serve you in your old age.

✍️Right now, start to be relevant in your mosque or Church and community so you could be reckoned with in your old age.

✍️Old age could be very lonely and agonising for men who did not plan for it.

✍️May you not become a liability on your children in your old age.

✍️May your children not wish you an early death when they can't manage you again in your old age.

✍️An old age without kobo in your pocket is a slow, agonising death sentence!

*Be warned now...!*

✍️There are three categories of people you cannot do without as we are growing older, your family, people in your place of worship and childhood friends, who include your Old School mates.

✍️Friends, take it or live it, at 60 and above, loneliness kills because the children you are working hard for now will go their way to raise their own immediate families and pursue their own destinies, just as we did now. At that time it's these people in these 3- categories that take away loneliness and keep your company.

✍️At 50 years and above, you have 10 to 15 years of active working life.

✍️Respect friendship and value relationship. ✍️

Have you made any resolutions for this new year 2022?

Just in case your answer is 'NO', here is a recipé for you:

1. Get a piece of a paper
2. Rule it into 4 columns
3. In the 1st column, write the things that you appreciate about yourself.
4. In the 2nd column, write 5 bad habits you wish to quit.
Don't just stop there;on the 3rd column, write down your achievements so far in 2021.
5. On the 4th column, write down all your prospects for 2022. Then continue to pray about the items on the 2nd and 4th columns at every breaking of a new day.

And yes, try as much as you can to sleep, only after having a look at it and repeat same before going out after saying your prayers.

It is not always about getting a job that pays you lavishly without having .

A passion driven job would always stand the test of time.
As you make a choice of your career, let passion lead you, and see if you won't meet money 🤑💰 on your own up! It'll surely be there waiting for you.

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent, or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
A resolve to do whatever proper thing it takes to succeed in life separates the "weak" from the "strong".

The strong are always determined to chase their dreams through any possible and proper means. The purpose of life itself is to live a life of purpose.

With no reason to get up in the morning, life can start to really weigh you down. It is better to "walk into your destiny" than to "wander in your history".

Unless you change how you are and who you think you are, you'll always have what you've got!

*I’m Possible”*

“Impossible” did you read it right? Those who fail, read the word as *“Impossible”, but successful people read the word as “I’m Possible”.* Yes, this is a simple Secret of Success – a principle that makes successful people succeed.

The principle is simple – Believe that anything is possible! It’s so easy to think that something is “impossible”, but the moment you think the same, the mind shuts down and the actions stop. Just try to utter the magic words: *“It’s Possible”.* You will find flutter in the air, you will find enthusiasm in your hand, and you will find your feet moving and heart dancing. So remind yourself of this simple secret – the word *“Impossible” is not read as “Impossible”, but as “I’m Possible”.*

Believe that you are possible and you can do it! *Remove the word “impossible” from your life, from your dictionary and vocabulary. Eliminate the word “Impossible”, and live with the words “I’m Possible”.* Soon, you will be on your way to success!
