MAN no GOD

FREEDOM: is "To ask for Nothing
                                            To expect Nothing
                                                            To depend on Nothing"
That is the true definition of being free, but what freedom do you crave? 
"When given an opportunity, 
deliver excellence and never quit"
  • Of Speech and Expression?
  • From Economic Dependence?
  • Or of Choice?
Maybe you can start by checking yourself for what put you in such slavery, what made you think you can't be free, what makes you think you can't live without Him/Her. Or perhaps why you are still in? why can't you leave?, why you are so dependent on a shoulder without you being able to lift yours?, Yourself!!!.


Every human has a limit of tolerance, the earlier you start thinking out of the box, the better. Only a man does things just to get payback, does things to be able to brag about it, does things to own you later, but God is a different being. As the saying goes, "get close to God first, before getting close to a man, because God without man is still God, but a man is nothing without Him", Man no God.

So how do you own yourself and be in control of the future? Self-Reliance!!!. Below are steps you can take to gain your Freedom.

  •    Assume Responsibility:  Probably the main cog in the machine, you have to start taking responsibility for both what you do and what you want. As American film producer Robert Rodriguez once said, "When given an opportunity, deliver excellence and never quit". Stop depending on other people's means, create yours. Take the blame for your mistakes and don't shy away from corrections, learn to do things yourself no matter the stress. You’ll feel the burden of weighing a hard decision and accepting the consequences, even if they’re not favorable to you. You’ll often go un-praised and un-rewarded for being responsible. Honestly, it is at times really hard, but it's probably the best gift you can give yourself because what it gives is that satisfactory confidence in your ability.
    •    Be Informed:  You probably won't be able to go far with taking on responsibilities without its nitty gritty. Get more facts and information about the particular task you are planning to take on, in the process, know where to find it and what to do with it afterward. This helps your confidence a lot, as it always gives you an edge over your peers. Moreover, expression of your ideas and listening to other people talk about theirs as explained in my last article also goes a long way to improving your know-how. And perhaps you've got little excuse with the presence of internet there to enlighten you on possibly everything.
    •    Find your Bearing: The next step is to set a goal, be a goal chaser, don't be intimidated by the size of your dream, be focused on how to reach it. A self-reliant individual set out his/her aims without leaving rooms for an excuse, he is autonomous and doesn't overly rely on people to validate his decisions, because failure begins with a faulty heart. Know where you are going and lastly take and heed to advice especially if coming from experience.
    •    Make your Decisions: Finally, it is of general knowledge that life is far less stressful when you learn to make your own decision, even though I learned it the hard way. Be brave to put your neck on the line for what you believe in, your principle, just like the popular saying goes, "I would rather die than change my principle". It is risky, but if going by the information you have acquired from above and of which you have good faith in, then your choice should be your responsibility.

    You can also take a time to watch this short clip from 1951 Development of Self-Reliance (Coronet Instructional Film) as it will help you in understanding this article better.

    THE FUTURE OF OUR TOMORROW

    If truly we are leaders of tomorrow,  then our problem should be a top priority to them.      "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future",  then that leaves them with being the leader and decision makers of tomorrow. There are countless issues surrounding the growth of the youth of nowadays which am a part of, from negligence on the path of the parents to the ignorance of our leaders, which i stand to be corrected isn't meant for the good of our future.  Just as the popular saying goes,    Most youths are exposed at an early age to problems bigger than their thoughts and are left to decide on issues that could make or break them alone. It would have been a different scenario may be if our environment had been tolerant towards their growth. Nowadays we have a lot of bad vibes around, available to youths of various age group, these go a long way in influencing them negatively...

    THIS THING CALLED LOVE

     might face a lot of stick on the road but still comes through, even though it does most times when hope is lost,  it's a mere test of time.   Everyone at a certain time fall in love, found that dude that makes you tick, that makes you go wild and could decide your happiness at times due to your dependent attitude and trust towards him. The guys also get slapped in the face with the breath of life, with the joy from within which her presence brings. It makes you feel unnecessarily up for the day, full of euphoria, and hope. That's what loves brings.    It fills you with an extra energy from within, with lots of confidence in your self after he/she turns your shield from the harsh world of boredom. Love is life, love is in you, it's in me, it moves like a wave of fresh air, from one beautiful soul to another. Just like electricity, its connects, moves within wires of feelings, lights up the air, but surprisingly shocks, but does it hu...

It's no new thing that victories these days are measured by the ratio of your achievement to your mistakes.  It's  a norm when your success outweighs your failure, people tend to call you a victor.  Perhaps, being a victor doesn't make you immune to failure, it simply means you respond and learn from your past fall, you keep saying to yourself, its not over until i win. What do you think you did different, or were you by chance lucky?, here are 7 things you might have done; Dare to Dream...
