The Other Side of "NO"

No: (Definition); Indicating that the answer to a question is negative, the statement etc made or course of action or conclusion arrived at is not correct or satisfactory, the request or command will not be complied with, or the negative statement made is correct. (Ref; Oxford Dictionary.) The sound and appearance of the word "NO" no doubts at first glance depicts denial or refusal. It is a known fact to many that the word "NO" (in answer) is often a negation of what is desired or expected. The norm in fact, is that after a "NO" comes a frown, a sigh, a look of dejection and in deeply heartbreaking cases, a tear drop. Over the years, the inability of handling the word "NO" has chattered a lot of dreams, and sent many to their early graves, leaving some turned into orphans, widows and widowers at quite an early age. In life, the "NO" situations are inevitable. But the man who has prepared himself for them is the man who is set to overcome and go beyond the "NO", and launch into this whole new experience which I'll be bringing to you in a minute or two. It please me to announce to you that this much feared word has got two sides; The one side that brings you down, makes you turn your back against your ambitions, and fills your heart with disappointment that breeds sorrow. The often unrecognised other side is that one that makes you wear a smile, nod your head gently, focusing your eyes on your aspirations, urging you to walk straight ahead in the pursuit of your set goals. Here we are, and into the big revelation I go, straight into this journey to reveal; THE OTHER SIDE OF “NO”. Many would have become great men if they laid their hands on this secret early enough. Many would still be living, if they had someone introduce this mystery to them. An imbalance understanding of the word "NO" during times of expectation is a cheat on any mans dream. Every "NO" situation places before you two choices, either to take it raw as delivered, in full compliments of refusal, denial and outright negativity, OR Listen to the brilliant, bright other side of "NO" that gently whispers into your heart and ears, "NOT OVER". This is it, the mystery revealed. The heart that contains this, I tell you, is the heart set to break grounds and do exploits. Inspiration is fuel for your spirit, body, and soul. The more you feed your mind with positivity, the more of it your life will produce. A "NO" is not a warrant of death. A "NO" is not the ultimate conclusion of any matter. A "NO" at a time doesn’t not equate to a "NO" every time. A "NO" has got another side (Not Over), visible only to the inspired soul. I think I’ll be safe to believe that you’re already thinking back in a bid to get a redress for the moments when you saw "NO" from just one imbalanced side which made you give up on a certain dream. That is it, that exactly is the first step to getting yourself up and fired, poised more than ever before to get on with achieving your abandoned goals. Friend, as you continue in the journey to greatness, treading and staying hopeful on the paths of expectation, be quick and smart enough to remember this; “When next you’re replied with the word "NO", know that this word has got 2-distinct sides, with each one of them capable of influencing the final outcome of your endeavour.” Choose Positive, Stay positive, Live positive, and Be positive. ….It is/was a “NO”, I know, but let its message to you now be known!

That (il)legal Tender.

"A huge number of humans have their Truth-Reserve/account either fat or static. We rarely withdraw nor spend from it, and will rather run life's transactions with that (il)legal tender, LIES". -TW™ Its not so amazing today how accepted, tolerated, and infact enjoyed (in the actual sense) lies are. Little wonder I chose to coin it as "(il)legal Tender". Illegal tender in every sense of it, yet legal tender judging by the widespread acceptance and employment of it. Why Account? Account owing to the fact that we know the truth, identify it, gather it, but yet fail to employ it, resulting to a mere build up (Account/Reserve) in our hearts, while refusing to spend/transact with it. Note: Truth spent yields even more dividends that truth stored. Why Lie? The "cover my/your arse" mentality/syndrome has taken the good-life over from us, I wonder why on God's earth we left our arses open in the first place, and who told us lies truly covers anyone'

You Didn't Deserve To Die, I Didn't Deserve Your Life.

"Though you knew the world won't receive you, you still gave your life to try. Wonderful Jesus, how can I fathom you!" -TW™ What a burden you chose to carry, what a load of Sin. Without my burden, you rode on a donkey, with mine and the whole world's upon you, you decided walking on your feet was better. What manner of man are you? You saw us kill you, yet you allowed it, for you, anything will do, just as long as it'll please the Father. The bruises and the stripes alone was good enough, if it was just about the shedding of blood, you gave it in good quantity through the torture suffered in the hands of the Roman soldiers, you really did not need to die. This was more, this was great, in fact, "Greater love than this no man can give". You paid it all, you laid your life, you paid the ultimate price that I might live. Rejected and abandoned, yet all you saw was me. Disgraced, crucified and killed for a crime you had no hand in, yet all you saw w

"Meanings Make The Man, His Definitions Define Him"

"Its difficult, if not impossible to respond beyond your heart". How do I mean? "Your conceived, derived and/or imbibed idea of thing, defines your attitude towards it"-TW™ You've always wondered why you act the way you do, react the way you do, or respond to things the way you do. Hey, am not talking temperaments here, the boss (Tim Lahaye) already did, and he "took it to the cleaners'. Even in deceit, its a hard thing to behave/respond to a thing beyond what you think about it, know about it, and the values you have placed on it. Catching a golden mug falling directly towards your head for example is a scenario that captures correctly an aspect of my discourse. There exist a couple of options to this, and believe me, every man could respond differently to this situation. One of the responses to expect, which I know you know already is; Catching the mug, preventing it from hitting your head or even the fall. Another response would be; completely do
