character

Character Before Charisma

It is natural for individuals to be drawn toward attractive persons.  People consciously or unconsciously use looks as one of their main deciders when entering a relationship.  Is this working for successful relationships?  I suggest to you, it is not.  I propose that the character of the person by far outweighs the value gained by […]

emotional infidelity

Emotional Infidelity

In recent times many relationships have gone through crisis as a result of what individuals perceive as infidelity on social media.   More and more people are uncovering inappropriate messages on cell phones that are posted or received by their partners.  This is referred to by some as emotional infidelity.  A person is considered to have […]

How to be a good husband and father

Some ambitious young men who are seeking to get into a serious relationship usually ask a particular question that always causes me to think deeply. That question is, “What do I have to do to be a good husband and father?” I am always intrigued by questions like these. It tells me that the person […]

My Concept of Men and Money.

I have no scientific or research information to give you on the subject of men and money.  I have only my experience to share on this subject. As boys, our mother would have us sell fruits from the trees in our yard to make what we called “pocket change”.  From the sales, she would ask […]

breakup

After a breakup; You have great come-back power!

Not every relationship will result in wedded bliss.  Even those that get to marriage, some still fail.  However, that is not the end of the road. Life has so much more to experience, restore and enjoy. As men and women, we need to appreciate that some relationships fail. A failed relationship does not mean that […]

Heat can work for you or against you. It all depends on how you allow the challenges in life impact you. The health and pressures in life, you can either cook with it or be cooked by it! You choose. I choose to cook with all the heat the winds of life blows my way.

argue

How to Argue Properly

Arguing is an art.  Very few people have been able to master that art.  Most people allow the issue to make them argue involuntarily.

strong

There are men, made of Strong Stuff !

I met him for the first time recently.  Randolf was in his senior years at 97 and his wife, 100.  Randolf is blind, and humped over with a curved spine which causes him to walk with his face towards the ground.  His wife suffered a stroke and has limited mobility.  They both live alone, in […]

Relationships rupture when the connection between two people break. However, ruptures can provide opportunities to rekindle and rejuvenate stale, routine, mundane relationships. The willingness to repair ruptures […]

come back

A set back is a set up for a come back

A slingshot is quite an interesting weapon.  In order for it to be effective, it must be pulled back a considerable distance and released in order for the stone it propels to achieve its greatest thrust and trajectory. I find that to be a wonderful analogy to experiences in life.  There are times that despite […]

gift

Are there blessings in receiving

We have been taught from very young by our parents that we should be good givers.  Our religious teachings promote freewill giving.  No one discounts, therefore, the virtue in giving, after all the Bible itself quoted Jesus when Paul himself reminded us of his statement, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” I […]

stop procrastinating

Stop Procrastinating

Many people constantly procrastinate and give themselves a lower standard of living than they should enjoy.  They also lose out on many opportunities to take their circumstances to greater levels. Procrastination could be defined as the art of putting things on hold; the avoidance of making decisions or the fear of confronting what must be […]

release power

Release your powerful potential

Most people live way below their real potential. Potential is massive power to accomplish something but you have not yet done so. It is your possibility waiting to be activated by you. If you understand and accept that you can achieve infinitely more than you do now then you will not waste time complaining about […]

Life is a Story You Write Michael A.T. Stewart

Do you like writing stories? Whether or not you do, you write stories every day of your life. You see, the life you have is the manifestation of the story you have been writing from as far back as you can remember. Every decision you make, every person you allow into your life, every thought […]

junk

Junk in the Trunk

Have you ever seen a slick vehicle with an attractive paint job, good tires, clean and expensive interior but when you go to the trunk it is full of discarded stuff, used parts and just plain junk? It was hard to tell from the exterior. Or maybe you have your house and the living room […]
