Love: A Consuming Fire

Hello dearies,

How have you been? i have missed you all lot. I have been really busy attending to issues of life. I was ill for a while, my baby was also ill...its just been full of one 'hullabaloo' or the other.

Something big is happening in my life right now...am going to share about it soon. (*winks)

As i was going about my activities yesterday, i read somewhere that Love is a consuming fire.
After much thought i think i agree with what i read.

Firstly i asked myself what exactly is a consuming fire?

If you've ever seen a fire outbreak, you would understand that Fire consumes whatever it sees in its path, sometimes even water. Especially if there are flammable objects in its path.
When fire meets a catalyst like petrol, diesel or kerosene it tends to ignite...and burn more violently.

Using that analogy lets look at love..true love is like a consuming fire. It consumes every feeling of insecurity, fear, anger, hatred, inferiority etc....If you've ever been truly in love you will agree with me.

However, am not going to write much about scenarios of how love has consumed whatever ill feeling or how love has changed a situation for good. Rather, i want you my readers to share you experiences of how True love consumed the negative situation and turned out for good.

Yes...i want to hear your stories..i want to know your experiences.....am waiting

Kindly holla back.

One Love

Building a Greater You -

What does it take for You to be better than YOU presently are?
Answer: 3 things: YOU YOU & YOU

You think today that YOU are good and doing well.. but what about YOU being GREAT. what about YOU being GREATEST of all. Not greater than your friend or greater than you enemy ( if you haveone). But greater than yourself, greater than your ability, your limitations. Greater than the present circumstances.

It takes desire, will, action, determination and evaluate.

You must have the DESIRE to be better, greater, richer, happier, more beautiful, luxurious....the list is endless for whatsoever you desire.

You must have the WILL to do whatever it takes to achieve your desire. You may need to learn a new skill, make new friends, change environment, go to school, think more, discipline yourself, start an exercise regime, save a little more etc....for all these you require the WILL.

Lets assume, you have the will and you have planned out how to be a better greater You..you need to put your plans into ACTION. You need to act on your DESIRE and WILL.

So you've started doing something, and you've started making progress...then out of the blues something happens and your hopes are dashed...or..you face some disappointments along the way? Do you give UP or give IN..the answer is NO...what you do is DUST yourself and start again....
( Late Aaliyah sang a song ' if at first you don't succeed..dust yourself up and try again..you can dust it up and try again...')
That's where DETERMINATION comes in. You must be determined in the face of challenges. The road to a greater you isn't always going to be smooth and easy. You're gonna have curves, turns, bends etc

So finally, your on the path to a GREATER YOU..you need to always evaluate yourself to see if you're doing fine, if you need to make some changes etc.

I can bet you every great person you know has gone through this phase before.

If you feel less than yourself or potentials...don't loose hope or get depressed..you can always do something to change that situation.
