When moving forward, do you consider those left behind?

When asked 'who wants to be successful in life' in any gathering of people despite their ages, everyone raises their hands. (or I hope everyone does).
Everyone wants to be successful.
Drake sef sing am: 'I just wanna be successful'.
Just like the popular saying: 'the top is very lonely' because only few people can get there. For example in a bank; there are so many front desk officers and only one chairman (or woman *wink*)

I have undergone series of interviews for different positions, most times its exhilarating when you get a call back, but imagine those who didn't get. I'm not saying its your fault that they weren't called back, its part of life sef: win some, loose some. But just take a few seconds to think of how those who didn't get called back feel, put yourselves in their shoes.

What brought about this thought you might ask?. A couple of persons and I are waiting to be assigned at work, some people in our batch have been assigned, while some couldn't continue the journey. I was reading the group chat recently and every other person who had been assigned had some sort of fun or horrible experience to talk about work. Slowly and surely those who haven't gotten any deployment would begin to feel left out of the conversation.
Its like when you are friends with someone, maybe they are in your class or organization or church and then for some reason you move on. For instance, you move to the next class and the friend has to repeat. Initially you both try to work out your friendship, like I said earlier; slowly and surely, you begin to make new friends, and then start having awkward conversations before you both drift apart.

Yeah I am guilty of this behavior, although there are some friends that become dead weights which you eventually have to drop, but there are some whom are of value and importance.
I have this friend, she usually says 'I don't discard people oh, you can never know who you might need in the future'.  I see sense in her philosophy and I try very hard to see the value in everyone I come across.

Today I want you to think of all the people you've left behind whenever you proceed or move up the ladder.
Remember the cup bearer remembered Joseph when the king requested for a someone who can interpret dreams, yeah God must have reminded him, but I'm buttressing on the fact that he remembered someone he left behind..

With love,

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel...

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

By
In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can...
