I don't bother myself about what others say. I am born of God. he that is born of God overcomes the Word. I have been forgiven by God. The fountain of forgiveness has been opened unto me, never again to be locked. The anger of God can never be stirred up again against me. God can never be ANGRY with me. Isaiah 54 talked about the waters of water and as he swore that the waters of Noah would no longer go over the earth, so has God sworn that He will never ever be angry with me. Certainly not! Not in any way! My sins are forgiven. Inferiority Complex is gone out of the window now. The past does not hold me back. I have been eternally forgiven. I enter new relationships knowing God has forgiven me!!! A.W Tozer said the most important thing in your life is what comes to your mind when you think about God. There are only three people on earth God has taken. Enoch walked with God and He was not for God took him. God didn't kill him. Death is an enemy. God doesn't use the instrume...

I spent the early hours of the morning mopping the house. With the pseudo-harmattan, there were ash remains on the verandah and it had found the way into the living room. After that, I showered and then tried to put on the writing cap. It didn’t flow. I had a deadline to meet and words didn’t want to come. It wasn’t even the main work. I wanted to do the outline so I could go on a stretch when I begin. It wasn’t until late in the afternoon that I told myself I’d just write. That’s when the fountain started flowing. It reminded me of what Stephen Kings said about amateur writers waiting for inspiration ‘while the rest of us get up and do the work.’ So, I wrote. It was a slow process. That’s quite understandable as I haven’t been writing fiction in a while. I believe I’ll pick up speed as I progress. I want to get this posted before 12am.i might come back to add more content.  So, I ended up writing 2500+ words today.

So, it's January 12 and I haven't really gotten up to the goals I set to myself for the new year. I hope I can do better in the coming days. I couldn't write much today because we had an in-house meeting that I had to be present for (some grammar machismo frown at ending a sentence with a preposition but what do I care?). Client called me that I missed some words and that some sentences wear unreadable. It happened that I had been dozing off while I wrote those article and many of the words came out jumbled. It was a total mess and I had to redo the work over again. Remind me next time not to work very late in the night. Also, there was another part of the work that I skipped without even knowing it. So, I had to go back and had that included in all of them. Luckily, jt didn't take me more than 30 minute and I was able to resolve it all and sent the work again. I haven't heard from him since then. I hope he takes it in good faith. This was supposed to be a month whe...

It's another new year. Another year to try and achieve goals. Couldn't get everything done in 2020. However, there's another opportunity to try.  If I consistently do something everyday that advances the goal, no matter how small, in a matter of time, a streak is built. One thing about streaks is that when you have one going, especially after going a significant distance, you don't want to break it. Soon, it becomes an habit.  If I write a thousand words everyday, it might look small. However, when you calculate that after 365 days, that's 365,000 words, more than many people will write in their lifetime.  And it's not just for writing. It could be for anything; walking to loss weight, praying, learning a new skill, anything. It just need that small step.  And taking it a bit further, we (silly me. I meant I) can combine several goals and have streaks running from them. It doesn't have to begin big but we build on them over time. DWS wrote over 1.5 million C...

It would seem that more than we know it, social media has taken the front seat, handled the steering, and is pushing our lives in the direction it wants. The worst part is that social media is in the hands of those who's major concern is profit. Thus, they pick the stories about death, about killings, all wrongs that exists and feed them to us because they know that the human mind craves for such. What they don't know (I'd like to think like that, excuse them for this) is that such negativity is adversely affecting the people's way of life. Cultures are evolving and with the increase in knowledge and information, crueler people are emerging. Instead of thinking of ways to better the status quo, they device machineries that are mirror images of diabolism. I cringe when I imagine that killings now seem so normal. Just this evening, someone popular was killed. Two shots to the head. People gathered. From his surname, I think I might know someone in the family because we st...

There has always been that norm to look down on someone, on their life's works simply because they made a mistake years down the road. That's not the way it works. You don't throw the child away with the bath water. Sometimes, we just need to take the lesson and not judge it by the life of the one who it's coming from. That way we can keep appreciating them for their works and it's impact on our lives.  The originator of a work isn't always as important as the work itself. Some of the worst politicians have given us the best moments, policies, and infrastructure. Some of the not so likeable personalities have given us the greatest written works which we will continue to enjoy. Isaac Newton dabbled into alchemy, yet we cannot say because of that his second law of motion isn't accurate. That would be a fallacy.  In the holy book of Christians, a prophet was made to marry an harlot because the creator wanted to use his life as a lesson to the people of Israel. ...

  There's no power in a forgotten story. Sometimes, I find that having to relay the story to myself and to others keep the story fresh. Also, it provides room for a better understanding. Now, you get to poke at the story, like a lab rat, from every direction. This is the way to obtain a complete understanding. Christmas never gets old because we keep poking at this story in every direction. We use the lens of our conscience to determine if our lives have been affected by this great story in any way. And what if we can be affected in more ways than one?  "Repetition is the law of deep and lasting impression" We learn new ways to live, to act, to care. And if you stare long enough, you can feel some of the story rubbing off on you, modifying your personality and in some rare cases, giving you a new lease of life, a reason to keep striving, to keep going.  Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year in advance. 

 You might not believe it but it's the truth. The one I call my Mentor is currently grossing close to  $10000 every single month. That is like the height of it. My word! If I could get even a quarter of that every month, I'm good to go at the moment. And I like the way he said it's completely achievable. He said to just give myself to working hard and do prayers. He said to take like a day out of every week to fast for the books. And so I did some content writing projects today. I was able to write 10 articles within 2 hours. That's roughly 12 minutes for every article. My fingers were just flowing and I didn't really have to think before pouring out the words. I've been thinking about pushing out as many books as I can. The issue I've had has to do with the introductions to the books. And so my other mentor told me that the books need not have an introduction although it could be a plus if have a good story to go with it.  I went to study the Legend's c...

 It's past 11pm.  I had a pretty uneventful day. I was stuck indoors throughout but was in no mood to write. I feel like I'm the one holding back my own progress because I refuse to take risks. I know writing these articles are bringing in some peanuts. However, this cannot be what I want to build on, for the life of me!  And the funny thing is I've told this client I want to take some time off. Yet, he keeps bringing more work. He's helped me a great deal and I just don't want to disappoint him. However, it cannot continue like this. He brought another set of articles today and I believe that's what made me lose my momentum. I need to find a solution to this niggling issue.  I saw another guy's account for the month of November. $1780+ amassed. Almost a million. Can you imagine what yours truly would have done with such money?  It's well.  I haven't said this in a long time, but I'm still made of more. I'm made of so much more.  Today, I fel...

 [size=10pt][i]I was just going through an entry that someone liked today. It's amazing seeing the different ideas that fills one's head daily. So, I got A phone (I forgot to tell you about it because there's seriously nothing too special about it). I'm thinking I should have been more patient but my dreams no go let me. I got a camon 15. It's got good battery, manageable ram, but it's transsion and I so wanted to leak Chinese phones. Note to self: Remember not to go with someone else when next you want to buy a phone. Store owners will want you to buy theirs and will badmouth other products. Anyway, I haven't seen anything to make me hate this one yet. However, I will get Redmi as soon as I can. Light just came back. If there is one reason why I like this place, it would be that when light comes, it stays for a while. I had gone out to buy fuel and some beans balls when light came. I would have held on to my belief that the light would come later. Not like ...

 I was on the road for most of the day. I left the house by 8am. The bus didn't get filled on time. So, I had to wait until about past 11am. The journey was fast but dull.  I chewed gums almost the whole day. I was awake for most of the journey. However, just the few minutes I shut my eyes proved crucial as I missed the turn I was supposed to come down and had to pay another fare (10% of original fare) to return.  I will leave my parent's early tomorrow. I have article works to take care of. I'm barely 20% done.  It's 11:08 pm now. I need to wake up by 6:00am. There's so much to do, I don't even know if I should try to stay awake.  My mouth hurts from the places I bit my tongue while chewing the gum. I discovered chewing gums helps one stay awake. I wonder if I can begin using it. Are there other ways to stay awake at night? Maybe I should Google it immediately I finish this update.  In other news, I've finished the book I've been working on for almost t...

 Most of today was spent on the road. We traveled from the South to the west for my brother's baby dedication. I managed to complete the remainder of yesterday's articles before the bus moved.  We waited at the park for almost three hours before the bus finally moved. Before I sleep,  I hope I should be able to do some work on the book I've been trying to publish since like forever. Amazingly, it's more than a month now since I've been trying to work on this book. Distractions are just everywhere. I even doubt I will be able to do much here. Just that I have to press myself. It's going to be a long night. 

 Today was a very busy day. There were a lot of things to do and article jobs to complete. I kept drifting in and out of sleep. Towards the afternoon, I went out to see if I could install some applications on my laptop. Unfortunately it didn't work out quite as well as I had hoped. By few minutes to 5pm,  I kicked the road and began a journey that will take me to where my parents live. I got home few minutes to 8:00 because I have to stop by to barb my hair. I also managed to work on the articles at night although I couldn't finish them. I'm still reading Harry Potter book 5 (that is the order of Phoenix) .  Even though I have read the book in the past, it doesn't stop  me from enjoying the read. I think that will be all for now. See you later. 

 I'm sorry I couldn't maintain this streak the way I wanted it to be.  So, it just happened that a program came along the way and I had to be away from many things online.  I'm back. That's what matters now. From here,  I hope I can begin a new streak which could go on for a long time. Dean Wesley Smith came with a new challenge. He said users should write 52 books in one year. That's approximately 1 books every week. It's  absolutely doable. What's even more is that if you miss out one week, you could use another week to make up for that.  He  didn't even say to write a book. Rather, he said to write a short story. About 3000 words minimum. I don't see out this cannot be done. I don't know exactly when I'm going to start my own but I'm targeting being able to produce one book of a minimum of ten thousand words every week. With this I can have 52 works published by this time next year. And that's another thing. He didn't just say ...

 Article works keep coming in and to think I'm getting peanuts from them. It's time to take a stand. Don't you think so? I should get back to writing for myself.  A new title to write about just came and I haven't even written the last two. Pathetic! That's my thoughts. I should get over this immediately.  I will write this last badge and then, focus solely on getting some book writing done.  I'm at book 5 of Harry Potter. Thought you'd never ask. It brings back so many memories. Got to go now! 

 I haven't done much this period. However I feel excited to go on within the next few days and achieved so much results. I completed the Amazon course last night and from the last video, I got the impetus to begin to implement all the things that I've learnt so far.  I think one of the major things that have been keeping me is this unwillingness to do the things that I'm supposed to do. I mean I know all there is to know about self-publishing. All the things that guy was teaching are not new to me. It's the daily implementations that has been lacking . So what I want to do this time is to have a system to check and balance myself.  I want to be able to hold myself accountable for my actions and inactions. I'm going to be doing a lot of writing for next week. I know it is next week that camp meeting is coming up but even in the midst of that I believe I can still find some minutes like during the break and after the program is closed for the day. I should be able to ...

 Self doubt is  many people's issue . They want validation but don't know that what they are doing is already authentic.  And so,  that was how I went to pay N50,000 for a course which contains stuff I already knew.  it has given me the mind now to go 13 get my own. I'm not done with the course yet but I i feel like it wasn't up to what I paid.  I didn't do much today because my mind was all about taking a course. I'm currently waiting till it's 12 a.m. (midnight). I want to use the night sub to watch the videos and see if I can give anything extra. I'm afraid that if I sleep now I might wake up too late because I might need about three hours window to go through every bit of the course. So that's the reason I'm awake at this time. I missed out On updating yesterday. It didn't even skip across my mind. I hope I can achieve a better level of consistency in the future.  That will be all for now.

 I wrote some articles and that that about it. I kept getting distracted. It  often happens when i'm in my parents house. There was work to be done and I couldn't sit for up to an hour without drifting into sleep. This is one thing that characterizes my days most times when I'm at my parents. I don't know what it is but it's got to stop. I still have almost two weeks left before Camp meeting. I'll have to try my best to start working consistently. Something came to my mind today. It was the k e t system that I had seen somewhere sometime ago. It's all my diarrhoea so. Is about the three things that makes for productivity. Number one is Knowledge of a subject you're writing about. the reason why writing becomes dull and boring the command the reason why you secretly stuff in the midst of your writing this because you don't have enough knowledge about the subject. It means you're not done enough research so stop doing enough reception about the sub...

 I got distracted yesterday and couldn't do much as I would have loved to. However I did manage to get some reading done. I was able to download a number of videos although not many of them were notes for business purpose. Yesterday being Saturday I went through allegiance post on nairaland and I can say I learnt a lot. It seems like everytime publishing is slowing down on me I'm looking into my eyes. It was the same yesterday over a road for a free GDP tutorial on . The training starts tomorrow by 9:00.

 I can't say the day was bad. Still, I can't say it was good either. It was just there. I wasted time trying to get something. No matter where I checked, I didn't get it. It was really discouraging.  . I was able to do some article works. Then, I began to prepare for my travel. That technology book is yet to be finished. There's no time and quarter four is already going away. I need to up my speed
