THOUGHTS ARE THINGS ( PART TWO)

-
 King Solomon also said, we are to keep our mind with all diligence for out of its flows the issues of life.  Today I'm asking you to shift from impossibility thinking to possibility thinking. Today I ask that you start thinking about what you are thinking about and start paying more attention to what is playing in your mind. Remember, you are a victor and not a victim.



Thoughts are so important and that is why the wisest king of Israel who lived could say in Proverbs 4 verse 23 that
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
 Solomon also says that whosoever hath no rule over his spirit is like a broken fortress and a city without walls. Dont you think that is strong?




               Can I tell you an amazing fact about you? Yes, you! On an average, you run about sixty thousand thoughts through your mind. The most interesting part of it is that 95% of the thoughts you think today were the ones you thought the day before. Scientists call this auto-pilot mode.


More than 70% of your daily actions are on autopilot. You do it effortlessly because your daily thinking pattern is set already. Herein, lies the tyranny or disadvantage of negative thinking. If you find yourself in a mental rut, you must disrupt that thinking pattern. This also informs the reason for many of the addictions that many people face daily- Whether it is excessive addiction to social media, alcohol, cigarettes and so on; they occur because the thinking patterns bringing forth these actions have been set already, hence it becomes difficult to change. If you find yourself in a mental rut, you must disrupt that thinking pattern.

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. Whenever you find yourself in this category, I am here to tell you that it is only a temporary phase. You will rise again. Whenever you find your self down
