Inspirational quote of the day

mayogirl — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:59:35 +0000

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Morning prayer

Reblogged from Morning Prayers:

Our father, we awake another day to see YOUR sun because it is YOUR will. We breathe, eat and drink to live because it is YOUR will. And when we have fulfilled our purpose on earth, our bodies shall return to the dust, by YOUR will. But before my time comes, I shall use our gift of freewill and dedicate a portion of my life to prayer.

What’s Your Attitude Towards Failure

mayogirl — Tue, 08 May 2012 19:24:19 +0000

Failure is like a bitter capsule, it can be catastrophic, yet the toxins of failure can help develop resistance against future failures. To fail is not pleasant but it is also an opportunity to do better,

People often fail to realize that failure is an EVENT, an EVENT comes and goes, what you now do with the EVENT determines whether failure is a PASSER-BY, or FINALATY. Failure can either be an intimidator or a motivator it’s all about your attitude, your attitude will determine whether you will rise up or not. Failure can come in different ways.

Failure in relationships

Failure in ministry

Failure in getting a job

Failure in your career

Failure in examinations etc..

Your attitude to your situation, people around you, yourself and God will go a long way to determine your recovery.

Maybe you have been disappointed in the area of marriage and you feel like your whole world is crumbling, whatever may be the person’s excuse for disappointing you it is never the end of the road, its only a BEND and BENDS naturally slow your speed down, after the bend you can always pick up. YOU will pick up.

In whatever area you experienced failure always know that :-

Failure is not new

Most successful people have failed before but they did not resign to fate

Even though you fail again you should keep on trying, if not you will fail forever

Evaluate and know what causes your failure so that you do not fall into it again.

Have a positive attitude and believe in yourself that you can make it and you will make it.

PARENTAL ABUSE

mayogirl — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:09:45 +0000

There are different types of parental abuse but the one i want to speak off is abuse by some fathers.I really cannot fathom why a man will be sexually attracted to his own child. It really hurts when i hear such stories. Can someone please tell me,why a father would have two beautiful daughters btw 3-5 and sexually molest them at that age even at any age it is totally unacceptable, shameful, criminal, and disgraceful. The worst part is in some countries especially african countries,the mother will be aware but because of so called stigma and shame she keeps quiet, pretends and allows this to go on. I know someone who was in a similar situation and right now as an adult she has grown up with so much hate,resentment,low self-esteem,lack of confidence, it really terrible.She doesnt make friends or want to go into a relationship,its affects her even mentally, i tried reaching out to her she snaps, draws back it just so sad. Please mothers know that any man who tries to or molest his child is not worthy been a father, and should not be hidden but taken far away from that child and made to pay for his acts, protect your kids at all cost, and help save them from such pain and torture
