Delay isn't denial

Helen has spent 18 months in her marital home yet she had no child. Helen gave herself to medication, counseling and healthy living in order to change her status. She wanted to be a mother. Three years passed and her younger sister Tina got married after getting a job security. Three months later it was very obvious even to the blind that she was pregnant. In no time she gave birth to a bouncing and kicking boy. She got pregnant again and Was delivered of a bouncing baby boy again.
Helen very worried after noticing this irregularity. And wanted it to stop began seeking better medical attention, diagnostics and prescription. They kept on encouraging her telling her she was Okay and would soon become pregnant..........

The story would continue shortly.
What's delay?? the situation in which you have to wait longer than expected for something to happen, or the time
that you have to wait.
Denial?? In this context it means rejection, forgotten and failure.

So many times we don't get What we want it might be very insignificant or of great importance.
Ecclesiastics 3:11- He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

There's a time for everything. More importantly there's a law of seed time and harvest time. Most of the time God gives us things in times we just put our trust in Him so we we will never devalue His gifts.
What you need now is a positive mind and a strong faith.

Try again, Try again , Try again and Try again.

Nothing good is got easily. As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times ?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times . The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
Flee from any source of discouragement keep your spirit on the go.

Continuation
No good news still. Until one day Helen woke up in the hospital, she slumped. The diagnosed the reason for her sudden weakness was her pregnancy. She noticed she had been missing her periods of menstruation. She felt comfortable about it because she hadn't reached the age of menopause. She was 51 years old. Quite old.  She was delivered of a beautiful baby boy, she was pregnant again and she was delivered of a set of twins which were girls.

Swallow the bitter kola

The smallest action is much greater than the biggest intention

"Emma, now swallow it!" said grandma. I spent my Easter holiday in the village. Unknown before my arrival, Grandma had got baskets, I mean baskets of Orogbo(Bitter Kola) from her visiting old friends. For those who have eaten it I'm sure the adjective 'Bitter' is not a mere addition because It's seriously bitter. I had to just eat it just to show some respect by obeying my Grandma. The next day i noticed i never felt the symptoms of Malaria disease which I had before the journey to the village and I never had throughout my stay.

That was just a prelude. We will be discussing "Procrastination". It's the act of delaying or postponing things. Not every thing is important. But some actually are.

The Good side
Like I said earlier not everything is important, procrastination gives us time to focus on other things, rest and it also gives us opportunity to avoid thinking. It can also help people whose decision and judgment are very important in order not to make wrong Verdict.

The Bad Side
They are many and outrageous. They include:
1 Zero punctuality:  This happens most of the time. Procrastinators most times miss deadlines. There by making them miss opportunities or be disqualified. Many homemakers who are not diligent or procrastinators become Very confused in times of emergency. It becomes really worse if they are also working or students. They most times end up becoming failures.

2 Time wasting:  Time is a costly and peculiar phenomenon . It can't be bought and it can't be sold. Due to procrastination, many people waste their time unnecessarily. They tend to postpone their activity, thinking that it can be accomplished after some time, but in reality that time will never come.

3 Disorganization: Many due to their late-hour approach eventually give important things the wrong or incomplete finishing. This is surely below your best. So it brings out the worse in you.

Handling it
Its a common axiom that "Experience is the best teacher", let's hear from some wonderful individuals courtesy Huffingtonposts.com:

Darren Rowse
Founder of Problogger
“The thing that has helped me the most is
designing my ideal weekly schedule. I used to
flip from one activity to another each day based
upon what I was feeling was urgent or what I
had energy for but realised that many times
that didn’t take me closer to my ultimate goals.
So I asked myself what activities I need to do
each week to get to my goals and designed a
weekly schedule around that. Now I have a
roadmap of what I need to do every day.
As a result procrastination is less of an issue
because I know what I’m doing. I also know
that these activities are directly related to
achieving my goals and so have more
motivation to get things done. As Stephen
Covey once wrote: ‘The key is not to prioritize
what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your
priorities’.”

I think it's enough. It's high time you made the NOW decision about your eternal life and salvation. Don't procrastinate. Believe in Jesus  Christ,  Confess Him as your Lord and be saved 

If the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter

I have found that a dream mixed with confidence, determination, persistence and massive belief will grow into a reality. The
bigger the dream, the bigger the rewards. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. He was confident, determined, and persistent and he became great. Mary Mcleod Bethune had a dream. She wanted to start a college for black students who normally would not be able to attend college. She started the school in Daytona Beach,  Florida, with six dollars to her name, but she was in possession of something more powerful :A DREAM.  Today Bethune Cookman College is one of the great schools of higher education in America  and Mary Mcleod Bethune is remembered as one of America's greatest women because she believed in her dream and had confidence, determination and persistence.
Jose Feliciano was born in Puerto Rico, he was born blind, in a time when blind people were told that they were not able to do anything but to get a silver cup and beg for money. But Jose refused to accept that idea because he had a dream, a big dream. Jose found an old piece of guitar and taught himself how to play. He practiced day and night, night and day and sometimes until his finger bled .Today, Jose Feliciano is one of the greatest musicians of our time. He wrote the song we sing every Christmas called "Feliz Navidad". What is your dream? ? Whatever it is, you can achieve it. ....

Excellence vs Perfection

Webster defines excellence as"that which is superior of high quality, that exhibits first - class quality ". Perfection is
defined as "the state of being perfect without fault or defect" and that which states that anything less than perfect is unacceptable. Well, many say they are perfectionists and only want perfect results.They say that "practice makes perfect!" Yet in reality, "practice makes improvement " I do not strive for perfection but rather for excellence. I strive for constant and never - ending improvement and to constantly better my best! My goal is to be better today than I was yesterday and to better than I was today.

Hank Aaron had twice as many strike-outs as he had home runs, but he still hit more homers than anyone else! He was not perfect but he was excellent. I say that you should strive for excellence and not perfection because excellence allows you to constantly better your best.  A.L. Williams said it best when he said "All you can do is all you can do,and all you can do is enough. Just make sure that all you can do is absolutely all that you can do!" Martin Luther King jr. Put it so wonderfully when he said "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michael Angelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say. Here lived a great sweeper who did his job well. " Strive for excellence not perfection and always try to better your best. 

Persistence

If you want your dreams to come true, then it is absolutely necessary that you be persistent. Of all the qualities that create winners, the most important is persistence you have got to keep trying, keep trying, keep trying and resolve in your mind that you will never give up. Never! Persistence breaks down resistance. Life is going to say, No! People are going to say, No! But if you persist, then life will finally have to say, Yes! It's a law. Just like the law of gravity, which says that whatever you throw up will come down. The law of average says that if you keep asking long enough, you are going to get a "Yes". It's  got to happen.  This is a famous quote :

"Press on. Nothing can take the place of persistence. 

Talent will not; 

The world is full of unsuccessful people with talent. 

Genius will not; 

Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. 

Education alone will not;

The world is full of derelicts. 

Persistence and determination are omnipotent"

Of all the qualities that ultimately makes a difference in the quest for success, persistence is definitely key to achieving your goals. Imagine you return late from work, hungry but tired to eat and sleep. The following day you go to work with the empty stomach. I'm sure by midday you would definitely be hungry. Now to quench the hunger you visit the restaurant which was shut, you visit  another which was closed. I'm sure you'll find a means to eat urgently. Well, the same is true for your success. You must keep going after your dreams. You must persist. Your achievement is close by 

Think positive, Think right

To think means to have a particular idea or opinion about something /somebody. We think thoughts.
Before you change your thinking, you have to change what goes into your mind. To change where you're going you must first change your thinking. Your thinking affects how you act and therefore what you do, just as to change your weight and health you must change what you eat. And the same is true for your mind. You must fill your mind with positive, healthy, inspirational and encouraging materials and get rid of the things that will kill your dreams and aspirations :doubt, fear and negative thinking. Just as you are what you eat, you also are exactly what you think about. Remember that your input determines your output. Change your thinking

Great thinkers throughout history have had many different philosophies of life, but all agree on the fact that success is a direct result of your thinking. 

"If you think in negative terms, 

you would get negative results.

Yes if you think in positive terms, 

You would achieve positive results "

- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale 

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "A man is what he thinks about all day long". William James, the great philosopher and psychologist, said, "My greatest discovery in human beings is that they alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind".
