Simple Formulas To LIve Your Life!


Hey, Happy Friday!


Do you ever feel stuck to your daily routines and habits that you find it hard to get a way or have the courage to break through? Or are you overwhelmed with your to-do lists and volume of work on your plate? Do you ever feel heartbroken pouring yourself into someone or something, trying to do the best you can but you’re stuck because you’re not being seen? Don’t fret as you are not alone.

This can be especially difficult and frustrating but trust me, God is preparing you into something bigger and greater than you can imagine. So, don’t give up. It’ll be all worth it in the end.

And while you wait, below are simple formulas that helps me get through and hope that in some way will give you a different positive perspective too:

Be part of something bigger than yourself

The key to self-motivation that empowers you is in knowing that you can always have something to give and contribute to - to the world. While it’s not advisable for you to ignore your little problems in life, but as you get a larger vision of yourself and on your reason of being you will realize that the world or people around you have more pressing concerns at the moment and that you can always MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Find a cause larger than yourself – climate change, poverty, equality, global warming, teaching the street children, reaching the unreached or saving the mother Earth.
 
You have miracle working power in your life. God wants you to use it.

Live beneath your means

It’s funny how we find time improving our looks, our faces, and even on the products that we use but we never find time to improve our finances or on our spending habit. I don’t mean to judge you or deprive you of anything that you want - you can buy all the things, eat on your favorite restaurants or take all the trips. That’s perfectly fine but I want you to be honest with yourself – always live beneath your means.

Sometimes it’s not about how much you EARN but more on how you SPEND what you earn. Beware of your little expenses – “a small hole can sink a great ship”.

Surround yourself with the right people

You have to be aware of who you have in your crowd - surround yourself with people who will help you grow spiritually, intellectually, professionally and socially. And while it’s great to train your mind to be of great service and substance to other people, it’s okay to walk away from conversations, relationships and people that don’t add value to your life anymore. We grow and learn from each other so appreciate those than can enhance and enrich your life (it should be reciprocal) and learn from those who drain your energy and untangle yourself from them. Sometimes, that’s the best thing you can do for yourself – let go.

 
And last but not the least, as John Piper very well put it – Live in complete awareness of the sufficiency of Christ.
Let’s try our best to live an authentic, humble, clear, open, bible saturated and faith filled life in communion with Christ – JP.

Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron Review: Is it worth it?

I started using flat irons since I was 18 years old (well, that was 12 years ago?) and I’m amazed at how the industry of hair straighteners had come. Man, I think we're missing out on some great deal. Flat iron over the years, We all know the humble beginnings of hair comb or some may call them hair thongs which are made of two rods heated to straighten the hair. I never get to use this one as I was introduced to the second generation of hair straighteners and that was using a standard home clothes iron. Nah, I mean the basic flat irons made with metal plates and few heat settings. Not until the early 2000s when I saw this model with ceramic plates that most people use today. Ceramic is by far the most popular material for this product as it is both inexpensive and actually safer compared to the clothing iron or heating rods back in days. Depending on your hair type, ceramic plates are believed to lock in moisture and protect hair color. But with a lot of this model...

Simple Mother's Day Celebration

My persona has changed since I gave birth to Chloe and you may be wondering how much adjustment I am dealing with? I’m talking about a massive 360 degrees turn of personality from young-and-self-centered-me to a-feeling-40-year-old-lady who have a say to almost everything (solicited or not)! In short I’m from blah to blah blah blah and blah. Lol! Everyone who knows me will tell you how extremely quiet I am. When asked about certain topic or opinion I’m completely mum thinking that whatever I have to say wouldn’t matter anyway, because well, I’m afraid I lack the experiences and guts. But I realized, with a new responsibility in mind I can do something truly great in this lifetime. I can be the voice of the voiceless through my writing. That’s when I took my blogging to a whole new level a.k.a the annoying proud parent. I think Chloe wants me to die with sweetness ayie :) And this mother’s day I want to give emphasis and address the poor health care (OR THE LAC...

Amazing Fun Time in the Bath with Pout Care's Best Products

Hi Mommies, Is shower time always a struggle with your toddler? Here are few tricks I borrowed from other mommies that might help you turn bath time into a super fun and amazing mommy-baby bonding :) When Chloe refuses to take a shower, I try to make it fun by adding bubbles and her favorite toys in the tub. Once she sees me carrying her toys and towel to the shower room, she will follow right away. I even squeeze a little bit of shampoo for extra bubbles and splash it happily just to keep her busy. I sing silly songs, nursery rhymes, play ball games and pretend like we are swimming in a big wide pool. But a few weeks ago I was in a dilemma with Chloe's thinning hair due to hair breakage and hair fall. Her hair tends to get dry so I try to get away from applying shampoo straight to her hair and managed to use a wet washcloth when rinsing instead of directly pouring water to her head. Then, inst...
