HAPPINESS the best medicine Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

HAPPINESS the best medicine

Today our Pastor preached on happiness the
best medicine, he talked about the benefits of
happiness. I so much enjoyed the sermon
because i could relate with it.

Few years ago I use to hate myself, I hardly saw
reasons to smile. Don't you try laughing or
gisting beside me because my countenance
would change thinking I am the reason for the
discussion.

I started having issues with my heart
I couldn't sleep without putting a wet cloth on
my chest.
I feared I might have a heart attack because I
was always thinking.

I hardly slept, I do cry for no reason. To sum it
up I HATED MYSELF
I found myself in the University and I decided to
start a new life there, I made new friends.
I learnt to love myself

I would look at myself in the mirror and sing my
praise.
I just decided to be happy no matter what
happens
I decided to reduce the rate at which I think
Wetin wan happen go happen
And to God be the glory the heart issues
stopped, I became light inside
The difference was so clear, everything about
me changed.

Happiness is the most effective medicine you
can think of. It makes you younger and more
beautiful. It makes you healthy. It attracts
people to you. Happiness has no side effect.

There is no overdose.
I wonder why some people are having sleepless
nights over Christmas celebration.
Growing up we were so poor Christmas wasn't
different to other days. OK maybe we might just
be lucky to have bones and touch of meat in our
plates.

The funny part is that our neighbours thought we
dey chop better food because each time we are
eating our concoction we would be acting drama.
"Favour pass me the bowl of meat" "Aunty Titi I
want more salad" that was the only thing you
would hear. Added to the fact that we were
plumpy it would be so difficult convincing
someone that we soak garri down every Sunday
or that I don't even know what salad is.

Whatever you have
Wherever you find yourself
Be happy
Be thankful
Money isn't everything
Rich men cry too, they have issues
Thinking does no good to you.
Don't use your hand and do yourself
If na garri you see drink this Christmas abeg dey
happy drink am
# Jesustibab

THE OTHER SIDE

Am not here to talk an about the other room oh LOL😆😆 this one is about the other side. Please drop your comments, I would love to know how you feel about this post.    I was in church for the digging deep service, when the Preacher started teaching I noticed what he was saying didn't correspond with the digging deep study sheet I was given.  I checked the date of the sheet and it was 18th of October 2016 and the date for that day was 11th. I noticed the congregation didn't look confused like I was so I thought of calling the attention of the usher.  Before I could get the attention of the ushers I decided to turn the other side of the sheet and there it was 11th October 2016 the topic for that day. NOTE: Before I realized the topic been preached was on the other side, the preacher was almost through with the teaching. This singular event opened my eyes to amazing life lessons I would be sharing here. 1) Majority of us have been believing God for a particu...

TRAINING A CHILD

Its no longer news that children aren't trained in the way they ought to go but in the way their parents deem it fit for them to go. Before a child is born, parents have concluded on the path/career of the child and when he is born, he has no option than follow their path like a dummy least the society tags him a disobedient child. I was discussing with a couple days ago and I raised the topic of training a child. I told them children should in the way they should go not the way their parents want them to go. I was taken aback by their response "So we should allow him become wayward abi, he should do whatever he wants to do..." Pro 22:6 "Train up a child IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO and when he is old he won't depart from it." IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO not IN THE WAY YOU WANT HIM TO GO. Let me explain better with this illustration. A pencil marker was invented for the purpose of colouring drawings on paper, you bought it and without reading the manual yo...

CONDUCTOR'S SECRET

Y e sterday i boarded a bus to work and the conductor taught me a very important life lesson.  When i entered i was the only one in the bus and there were several buses there calling out for passengers but this conductor of the bus i entered did something i loved. He went across the road and started calling for passengers, he assisted some in crossing the road and he carried luggage of others. He also had to persuade some that his bus was going to move immediately they entered and before the twinkle of an eye the bus was filled while other buses were still there. After some passengers dropped he had to call for more passengers, the first two passengers offered to pay less which was ridiculous.  He refused to carry them and the bus moved to another location, getting there he picked passengers who paid exactly what he called.  It got me thinking thank God he didn't to carry those who offered to less. LESSONS FROM THIS STORY Develop a strategy that makes people ...
