    HOW DO YOU HANDLE CRITICS?       Criticism is one of those things life presents to humanity and learning how to handle and forebear it very paramount as we journey on to life and destiny. Here are a few ways to manage critics ; Know first and foremost that critics do contain a bit of truth, then ask for the grace to see and admit it, even if it turns you off.  Prepare your heart to encounter critics as they're part of and path in life.  Always remember, anyone who has done anything great has critics.  Endeavour to hear others' opinions —listen to everyone, no matter how unbearable the words may sound.  Good points lie in critics, therefore acknowledge and accept them when you see them.  Admit your mistakes and learn from them and start making changes.   Learn to know the critics to embrace and those to be shielded from as you; submit to it fine-tuning process, depersonalize criticism by not identifying with it, and respect...

    Now! Let's consider what criticism is and amidst varieties of criticism, we'd focus on four which are positive and negative, and constructive and destructive criticism:                    POSITIVE CRITICISM.     This form of criticism intends to serve a purpose that is constructive, or that the targeted person would approve of as it pulls attention to a good or positive aspect of something that is being ignored or disregarded.     The basic aim of positive criticism is usually to provide a better orientation, or frame of reference, for behavior. It provides ideas people can act on to enhance the situation. At the very least, it provides more choices for behavior, and therefore potentially enlarges behavioral freedom.      This criticism can be stated as a positive alternative as it does not necessarily say, that the option criticized is all bad, but rather that an alternative option is pro...

        There are cracks in the wall! So let's check two out of the factors that might be responsible for not running up to the goal:     Of a truth, you're running but before time erodes, take a pause. Success in the race of life is not all about speed but at times you've got to take a halt and reflect on where you're coming from, where you are presently, and where you're heading. Take a keen look within. Are there defect(s) or omissions permitted either by you or circumstances around you when you're undergoing formation? If you'll not take a pause and attend to those omissions, I'm afraid, you'll only find yourself in a frantic race over and over again.    Perhaps you thought you were running but in the real sense you're only taking a stroll and catching a cruise, you can't reach the goal. What do you do? Be sincere and factual with yourself. What's the level of your diligence and promptness to life matters? To see a man who stands befo...

      "Are you just in a race or you're heading somewhere? In a race, everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win."   Have you ever heard this saying, "life is a race, if you don't run fast you'll be trampled"? This from time past has been built up as a mindset, a stronghold that humanity cannot just but help to dance to its tune and this has consistently set us in a frantic race. I keep having a deep searching thought and wandering as to when humanity will come to their liberation and cease from the cat race that becomes difficult to pull out from.    How it all started... Frantic race! The existence of human life commences the moment a sperm fertilizes an ovum(egg cell)—one goal, many competitors—to fertilize an ovum, millions of sperm are set in a race in which one wins the race. That's the beginning of life. Then what becomes the fate of the rest? The door is shut against them. And was it because they didn't...

    PURPOSE - WHAT DO YOU CELEBRATE; DISCOVERY OR FULFILLMENT?    Here is the picture of a man in an ultimate search for a key that opens a door of a treasure store. With thorough and diligent search, this man discovered where the key was hidden only for him to sit back and weep for joy and thereafter began proclaiming his discovery to the world losing the sense to fulfill the purpose of his discovery.     This is nothing compared to a man who is yet to discover his key in life. Discovering and fulfilling purpose in life are quite different but many having discovered their purpose became overwhelmed with their discovery and came short of its fulfillment.     How long will you celebrate your discovery and match it to the fulfillment of that which you've discovered? Don't forget your fulfillment of purpose is time-bound.       Jesus, after discovering His purpose on earth went with a focused eye toward Jerusalem to fulf...

  FRAGRANCE OF LOVE. Tony: Vick, do you know I love you? Vick: Hmm...! As you've always said. Tony: If only you'll respond to my love call, I'll take you around the world. Vick: Respond to your love call? And how do you think I should respond to your love call? Tony: Ehn ehn! That's the point baby girl. Now you're coming in line. Vick: Still yet to answer. Tony: You know, the response to the call from my heart is that.. ehm just give me a chance to...  Vick: No no no! Is that what you call love? If that's your love definition, I'm sorry, the line is not reachable. Tony: But... Vick: Nothing but a big U-turn for me. I've purposed to live in purity and undefiled, and I'll never get by any of such. Tony: I believe you're mature now and...  Vick: What's the intent of your heart, which love dwells in your heart? Is it truly God's Love or Lust(Love Under Satan's Territory)?  I thought you do love God but your intent has shown your true hear...

           Oh! Gosh! I don't want anyone to meddle with my work by just strolling from 'heaven knows where' to criticize my hard labour or personality. I won't take that and I don't take that.       Well, I don't care what people think or say, all I know is that I do what I'm determined to do, and that seals it up.              WHAT'S YOUR STAND ON CRITICISM?     Dear friends, no one truly wants to be hurt even with the slightest pinch but often, we only look at the coin from one side not knowing what the other side holds for us... like an adage will say, "if we're to close our eyes to the passing of the bad eggs, good ones will pass us by without noticing." Criticism, as you'd say has only been negativity to you probably because of it part you've been quite exposed to. Let's take a step further to the word itself.     Criticism, from its archaic form, "critique" simply means to exp...

    On one of the days when humans were engrossed with life activities, I sat at my table in my innermost chamber, surfing to know that which the Maker of heaven and earth had purposed to wrath on the earth, knowing that we're in the last hour to the end of the age. Lo and behold, I saw as though a veil had just been taken off my eyes' lenses. I saw a host of advancing armies with the archers set in an array on the front line, ready to deliver the arrows set in their bows, and at a great shout of command, they released their arrows —flaming arrows!— into the very heart of darkness. And as of the speed of light, they find their path with great illumination being established on their course. Advancing into the very heart of darkness, darkness gave way till all was as bright and clear as the dawn of a beautiful morning. Then was I able to behold the gracious beauty that is now being revealed.    As the pen is in the hand of a writer to bring enlightenment to the ignoran...

The site seeks to bring illumination through the figures of writings to the knowledge of humanity and realignment of thoughts.
