PURPOSE DISCOVERY EQUALS DESTINY RECOVERY PART SIX

-
The second method of discovering your lifes purpose or calling is that of external opinion. This entails that you should meet a few people who are close to you for their honest and frank opinion of things which they think you have the unique ability to do well. Ask those people close to you for things which you have previously done that has blessed and impressed them. What special qualities do people applaud you for? Having done these, compare your list with the honest appraisal of others and you will have a pretty good idea of your special gifts, talents and abilities.




The third method of discovering your purpose is thinking about genetic links. Alternatively, you can look at your family background for any "overriding genes" making your family to have a special flair for any special talents, gifts or abilities. In this part of Africa, where you and I live, the concept of "generational curses" spreads faster than wildfire mixed with petrol. It is so common all around. However, have you ever thought of the fact that there are generational blessings too? See, the Bush family is blessed with a flair for politics. The Williams (Serena and Venus) possess the predilection for sports (tennis in particular). Oh, you get the point? You may have to do a little research about your parents and grand-parents to see that common thread that runs through the web of their involvements and life's paths.

TIPS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION

-

Cross examination is a delicate act and art that requires mastery of the intricacies therein and understanding of the subtle nuances of human nature. The following tips are relevant.  The first rule of cross examination is not to examine crossly. Abuse is not an argument, no matter who gives it. It is dog's eloquence to  abuse and stoop low to injure another's personality. Get the defendant to commit to absolute statements; then confront him with the damaging letter or evidence. Proceed with as much easiness as if the value of a loss in cross examination were less than a kobo. Establish other possibilities that are open even when the evidence is or appears to be  substantially true. Cross examination can be directed to show that witness was occupied with circumstances surrounding the fact rather than the fact itself. This can be skewed to show that the witness was completely inattentive when the incident happened.

GOAL SETTING AND GO GETTING; THE EAGLE EXAMPLE (PART FOUR)

 THE EAGLE'S NEST The eagles nest is a sight to behold; It weighs more than two tonnes and in fact, it can support two grown men. You do not find this kind of nest anywhere else. It is usually found in the most remote and unattainable spot the bird can find and then it will be perched very high in the mountains or on some sheer cliff or a very high tree. Due to the massive size of this nest and the fact that each and every stick and materials like timber from construction sites, discarded clothing, paper, fresh stick, grass and leaves  to prevent the nest from getting dirty  has to be carried to this remote building by the eagle, you will easily agree that the nest building will be a huge task for the eagle. The eagle, however, is not intimidated or overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of this task. It understands the power of goals and taking little steps  which add up in the long run  towards the achievement of these goals. As Robert Schuller said, “By the yard, it is hard but in

WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE By ISHOLA EMMANUEL There is a very interesting experiment which I would like to share with you. The experiment is this: Try taking a container and put in it, carefully selected big stones. Make sure that the stones are big and put them at the bottom of the container. Now place on top of the container stones of smaller sizes. By now you would have a container with small stones on top and big stones underneath. The next thing is that you shake the container. What would you find? You would find that the smaller stones wuld find their way to the bottom while bigger stones will find their way to the top. The big stones signifies people who have built capacity in areas such as physically, mentally, spiritually, socially etc. but due to the vicissitudes of life find themselves down.
