Welcome to another beautiful day, a week is running to an end, another October is almost over and the year .One of the very vital part of our living, the determining factor whethere we succeed or fail is our decision making process.Most of life hangs on the balance CHOICES
What choices are you making today?
Today is a product of yesterday’s choice, Tomorrow will be aproduct of your choices today.Just as yesterday led to today, Today will lead to your tomorrow.
Take a look at your life, a standing ovation for the choices you’ve made in the past.Yesterday is a TOMB, tomorrow is a WOMB, Today is the only moment we’ve got influence over via our choices.
If presented with the choice, would you choose to be healthy, wealthy, secure in your relationships, happy and fulfilled, or would you choose a life filled with illness, poverty and despair? That's an easy decision. Anyone would choose the first alternative without even thinking about it.
In fact, you do have that choice. It isn't usually presented to you in such a momentous way, and it never comes as a single choice.
Rather, the quality and direction of your life depend upon the many, many choices you make, moment after moment, day after day, which build on one another to fashion the reality of your world.
The little choices you make, the ones that seem not to matter much, soon add up to produce big results. They directly affect the life you live. Over the course of every day, you're presented with an overwhelming number of choices.
As you make these choices, keep yourself clearly focused on where you want your life to go. Make the appropriate choices, one by one, day after day, and you will be headed powerfully in the direction of your own choosing.
Remain On Top

What’s inside of you
Good morning friends, it’s another week of possibilities and achievements.
Quite some time, Ive been rather engaged with so much work could not do any post for some days now.Anyway, its a new week, something must come out today to help your life.You must be a better person this week, your decision must be more accurate and the resultant effect must bring joy and fulfilment to you.
Whats inside of you
It could be a defining week, a defining moment for you.
Fate is said to determine who your parents are, the rest is left you. You can’t decide who your parents are but all other things depend on you. After all you’re responsible for that course you read in school, you’re in oceanic bank by choice.
I read this piece some evenings ago and I feel it should spur us to reflect and make the most of the present.
“On the streets of New York city, there was a balloon salesman. He was a very good sales man. When the balloon business went down a bit, he would let one of his red balloons go up and this would attract the attention of people in the vicinity .In few minutes the sales will increase and business picked up.
Then a little later when it slowed down again, he will let a blue balloon go up and the same results followed(increased sales).In a few minutes he let go a yellow balloon go up and the same thing happened.
However, a black African boy walked up to him and said” Sir, if you let one of those black balloons go, would it go up? With wisdom the salesman answered the boy, he said “son, its what’s inside these balloon that makes them go up, not their colour.'
So it is with us—its what’s inside of us that determines whether we stand still or whether we rise life. Not the colour of your skin, but the content of your character.
My rising in life is a function of…… i.e. rise in life=f(x,y,x,p…)
X= attitude
Y=thoughts
Z=priorities
P=choices
The quality of these factors inside of us determines how high we can fly in this life.
It’s left to you.
Make the most o your life today with whats inside of you
Take charge

My thoughts on the United states(2)
In my earlier post, I did promise to place on this site words from some great American presidents and citizens.
Consider their sayings and reflect, compare with todays United states.Just imagine what was on their mind.
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness—these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.”– George Washington
“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.”–Thomas Jefferson
“[I]t is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure, than they have it now, they may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty.”– John Adams
“...The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that ‘except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it.’ ”– Benjamin Franklin
“Were my soul trembling on the wing of eternity, were this hand freezing to death, were my voice choking with the last struggle, I would still, with the last gasp of that voice, implore you to remember the truth: God has given America to be free.”– Patrick Henry
“And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.”– Abraham Lincoln
“Let us look forward to the time when we can take the flag of our country and nail it below the Cross, and there let it wave as it waved in the olden times, and let us gather around it and inscribed for our motto: ‘Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever,’ and exclaim, ‘Christ first, our country next!’ ”– Andrew Johnson
“We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.”– Franklin Roosevelt
“Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we’re mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”– Ronald Reagan
