Sunday Meditations: There is a Star in Every Good Start

By Zion Emmanuel Obeten

  
Isn’t it good to know that there is a STAR in every good STARt?

But in a bid to compete in the rat race, small jobs are often neglected, small tasks are rejected and so, bigger opportunities that come in the clothing of these ‘small things’ are unconsciously relegated.

Most people want to make it so big the first time and so, if the start doesn’t fetch them ‘good’ fortune in a short time, they, out of frustration, push it aside.

What’s more? They keep going round in same circles while looking out impatiently for great profit and hence, miss that STAR in what they thought was a small STARt. They miss the PROFIT because they are running away from the PROBLEMS.

But there’s a call to the fact, though hard to accept by many, that no labour is without flavour, no work is without a worth and no task is without a taste.

What adds colour to all these is dependent on our perspective towards them.

The start, even though so small, should not make the man small, but rather, the man should locate and bring out that shining star out of that start. He should be able to bring out what’s ideal from that ‘little’ idea. Simply put, the difference between a star and a start is a ‘T’. All we’ve got to do is to Think big, Try harder and Trust our capability.
When all these happen, just know for sure that you are on a Transformation journey to becoming a SHINING STAR.

Remember, don’t despise a little beginning.

Sunday Meditations: 7 P's That will Shape Your Life.

By Zion Emmanuel Obeten

There are seven (7) solid P’s we must discover, utilize, maximize and explore to achieve a greater dimension of success.

These 7 P’s have helped build a man’s entire foundation; these 7 P’s are needed by every manager and leader in every organization; these 7 P’s are the Pillars that hold and keep us standing tall and strongeven when the storms of failure and despondency rage.

These 7 P’s are:
·         Purpose to live for,
·         People to live with,
·         Principles to live by,
·         Profession to live out,
·         Power to live on,
·         Passion to live from and
·         Possibilities to always think through.

When you work towards fulfilling these 7 P’s, you are bound to be a PRINCIPAL in your and others’ world.

I just saw this on Linda Ikeji, and did a little finding of my own, and then thought to share on this platform. The story was tweeted by King Mo.

A Lady who was a guest at Freedom radio today, jokingly said she would give a car and a house to any man who marries her. Men took her seriously, and the result is what is seen on the photograph after the cut...

Sunday Meditations

By Zion Emmanuel Obeten

In a world of endless competition to make it ‘big,’ people have now resorted to taking the short-cuts, not being fully aware that taking short-cuts to achieving great feats only cuts short their ambitions in the future.

Zion Emmanuel Obeten
.
In a quest for power, position and recognition, quick-fix initiatives have become the order of the day, but quick-fix does not fix the problem quick, and even if it does, makes the problems surface again even more quickly.

So, that it is INSTANT, does not always make it CONSTANT. One may instantly achieve good grades by exam malpractices, but may not be able to defend them in the long run.

People devise evil and cruel means to acquire wealth, but live in perpetual fear and uncertainties all the days of their lives. That, my friend, is total foolishness and waste of time.

No wonder, those who have dubiously found their way instantly to recognition have not been able to constantly remain there, because they lack the character and capability, which they failed or foolishly ignored to build before getting there.

I’d rather wait for so long a time and acquire strength of character, adequate skills and self-development and prepare for a CONSTANT success than rush into an INSTANT, make-it-quick-by-all-means success and be put to shame as time goes by.

Going by the former is wisdom. Go for it.

DIY: Statement Earring

Fashion Friday

By Osamudiame Olumese

This earring is beautiful, and you cannot believe how easy it is to make. In this DIY, I would share with you the process to make it.

Suppliers                                                                   
Link chain and Uhu glue
Stone accessory (Stone na yardi)                         Felt fabric                                                           Uhu glue
Link chain / Earring stand
Earring hook

Tools
 Scissors
Round Nose pliers
Stone accessory (Stone na yardi) 
Earring hooks
  • Cut your stone accessory to your desired shape and length
  • Rub Uhu Glue behind the stone accessory

  • Place the accessory on felt fabric, place a heavy object on it to allow them stick together. In between, the felt fabric is to add weight to the earring, so it is not easily blown by the slightest wind.

  • Trim off the excess felt.

  • Pass an opened link chain or earring stand through the hole where you would like to place your earring hook. The earring stand should be coiled into a link chain using the round nose plier. This may be a little difficult.
  • Open the formed link chain, pass the earring hook through. 

Close the link chain securely.

And there you have it; your earring is ready to be rocked.

ME... rocking my Statement DIY earring

Plan to make yours this weekend. Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your earring, and how you rocked it.

Happy Valentine

Long time no post.

Let me sincerely apologize on behalf of team Lumen for going MIA. It's the season of love and we hope to tap into your abundant love at this season for forgiveness.

I have not seen Kano ...(what is the word) this "Lovilious" since I have been around for valentine. It is very obvious that Valentine is here, a lot of event happening around we are hoping to attend some. We have scouted around and we found some event you would love to attend with you special someone.



In all your love celebrations, remember to always act responsibly, and show some love to everyone that come your way. Go the extra mile to show love to the less privileged, make your way cross theirs.

From us at Lumen, we love you always.

Free Goal Setting Seminar in Kano!!!

 
It's that time of the year where most people take stock of the happenings of the year. We sometime may have fallen short of our expectations, or may have exceeded it. One thing is sure, the probability of one exceeding self expectation is dependent on how we took charge of accomplishing previously set goals.

Goals have to be SMART for them to be worthwhile; that is your goals have to be:

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time bound
