Odyssey of life with Temilola

Ely Lambert says “Many people are “directional challenged”. In other words they have no goals in their lives and often end up in painful relationships and situations because they don’t plan to get anywhere in life. According to the oxford Advance learner’s dictionary, DESTINATION is defined as a place to which somebody or something is going or being sent.             Am sure many will wonder why I am writing  on destination, but I have been thinking deeply of late and I realize that many people do not know their destination, many people have missed their destination due to one thing or another. Let me sight an example. How do you feel when you board a vehicle and the driver takes you farther than your destination? I have seen some cases, the passengers tend to flare up, and some just come down quietly without saying a word to the driver.              Many things can cause one  to...

A friend of mine (Edwin) defined  love as a subject to test of respect, response in tension and submission. He said Love is the reason why a man will leave his family of orientation and want to start a family of procreation with a woman. He went further to explain to me that love is a process and not a destination. Love grows and it dies when starved, love gives all without expecting anything. He concluded by saying that satisfied Love brings about respect.              Love is a strong feeling of deep affection for someone  or something especially a member of your family or a friend. When we fall in love with someone, it’s always like a dream come through, it’s always like a contract that has been won, and it’s always like a just completed project. Your affection for your partner grows miraculously in such a way that you won’t want to leave him/her for a second. Your calls increases, you keep sending messages, you won’t stop callin...

A king is a person that is thought to be the best or most important of a particular type; an important personality. Standing before kings is not just finding you in the presence or in front of an important person. To me standing kings is being useful to kings; being relevant to the level at which kings cannot do without you.             A king can be likened to a ruler , a minister, a commissioner, Governor, presidents, Honourable and very notable people. To stand before kings, there are criteria; there are things to be considered. The Holy Bible says in the book of Proverbs that have you seen a man skilled in his work, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before ordinary men. A skilled man is a person that has enough ability, experience and knowledge to be able to do something well. Before a person can be skilled, he/she must be hardworking and diligent in his/her work. Truthfulness, sincerity, obedience and humil...

Temptation is defined as the desire to do or have something that you know is bad or wrong.             We all have been tempted in one way or the other, when we have a strong desire to do something that we know is wrong, we should realize at that point that we are being tempted.             Temptation can come in  form of money, cars, clothes, material items, sexual desires or urge/longing for things that are not right. Many of our youths today tend to walk into temptations, they intentionally do things that are wrong and make it seem right. This has gone a long way in affecting the lives of many youths today.              Recall the story of Joseph in Genesis 39: 6b-9: now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph and she said “Lie with me...

When I was in Primary School, years ago, I learnt a poem about a goat. My teacher said a goat is a domestic animal that goes through lots of severe punishment because of its acts of disobedience. The poem advised children not to behave like a goat, the disobedient animal.             Well I think this poem is written after a long study and research of this animal “goat”. If we rear goats or we have some goats in our vicinity, we will see how stubborn a goat is. Many times you chase a goat from going to a particular place but it won’t take to correction. What is our attitude to correction?  How do we respond when we are being corrected? I feel bad when I see people who refuse to admit that they wrong.             Majority of people do not understand that the reason why they are being corrected is for their life to better than it is. Looking at the life of young people today, many youths do no...

For some time now, I have been pondering on this article, fortunately for me, it was preached in church on Sunday, so I feel this is the right time to let it out.             COMFORT is defined as the state of being physically relaxed and free from pain; the state of having a pleasant life with everything you need.             COMFORT ZONE is defined as a place or situation in which you feel safe or comfortable especially when you choose to stay in this situation instead of trying to work harder or achieve more.             A lot of people feel too relaxed after attaining some level of success in life...  Comfort is good, relaxation is lovely but getting too carried away by this can be very dangerous.             I understand that many have not gotten to t...
