Give Your Best - by Eta Uso (Jr)

Yesterday, while taking a break, I came across something which yielded some points worth pondering, and thus came this question for you and I:   ..would you rather shun mediocrity and do rightly, what you have to do now, or would you have the time to do it all over again? Knowing that in our world today, time and chance are two very powerful factors, am sure if we take cognizance of these facts, we would arrive at the right answer to the above question!   Shalom.   -- Eta Uso (Jr) Twitter: @royaltyuso

You Walked In Through That Door With Nothing Material - by Eta Uso (Jr)

“As long as you are proud you cannot know GOD. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.” ― C.S. Lewis. Remembering always, how you walked in through that door, would ignite a sense of check and balance against giving room for pride to grow in you. No doubt, some of us where born into unequivocal affluence, while some of us were born into middle class or out-rightly poor families. However, the material state in which we were born into, does not change the fact that we all individually walked into this world with no material gifts. Thus, just as we had no power to choose which families we were born into, neither do we have the power even this day to assume the role of gods over the future. Pondering on the above, it is only honourable that in whatever high state we find ourselves today, one should never keep walking like there is no ground below n...

Don't Swallow Everything - We All Have A Sense Of Taste. Taste it! - by Eta Uso (Jr)

Could it be out of laziness? Or simply out of the refusal to engage our minds even while at rest, that causes us to take in everything of what we are shown, rather than what it actually is. How many of you truly analyze the words or actions of your mentor(s)? How many of you task yourselves to check that though you see red, it could actually be green? How many of you are even conscious that you embody a mind of your own? To this last question, the problem is simple, you can never be conscious that you possess a mind of your own, when you are not even conscious of the fact that you are unique. Thus, on mentor-ship; yes, look up to your mentor(s), but that does not mean lose yourself to your mentor(s). Shalom. -- Eta Uso (Jr) Twitter: @royaltyuso

Fear is Exaggerated - by Eta Uso (Jr)

What is fear? Am sure many people would find it difficult at instantly defining the meaning of fear. Most people would define fear by reusing the word 'fear' in their definition. Some other people would define 'fear' by the utilizing the word 'scared'. Am sure almost no one, if any at all, would be able to give a proper definition of 'fear' within the first 5 - 10 seconds of being asked. What does this then tell us? Simply shows that 'fear' is not something we can physically hold onto. This further tells us that our ability to embrace what we cannot define is simply out of our inability to utilize our power of 'choice'. Why embrace 'fear' when you can embrace 'boldness'? Both characteristics are non-physical, thus our ability to choose between both resides in our minds. Knowing this, why then do we choose 'fear' and its accompanying limitations, when we can as easily choose 'boldness' and its accompanying...

This Is The Truth by Eta Uso (Jr)

Some people, either out of previous experiences or of self-exaltation, have tended to find perfect friendship with the entity known as 'paranoia'. These persons believe that someone or people out there is/are always trying to bring them down or stop them from achieving their goals. Today, I besiege you to give a chance at and embrace the attitude of 'Pronia' (the believe that the world is conspiring to help you). You would be amazed at the total turnaround and satisfaction this would bring you. Embracing Pronia is not about being in denial. Rather, it is all about creating your own reality. The last time I checked, no man could/can truly define reality. Or if I make ask, what is reality? The answer is that, there is no answer. However, we all know that reality does exist. O yes it does! And it's simple; Reality is simply what you make it. A trip to the Moon was never deemed possible until 'Believe' pondered it as a reality and thus it became...
