THE EXCITEMENT OF AN AUCTION AND THE ACTION

WOOOW,COULD THIS BE AN AUCTION OR AN ACTION THAT IS THE QUESTION I ASKED MY SELF,IT ACTUALLY WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER ATTENDED AN AUCTION,I WAS FASCINATED BY THE WHOLE SCENARIO,THE BUSTLING AND HUSTLING,IT WAS A LOT OF EXCITEMENT, WHEN I WAS TOLD,THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN AUCTION OF SALES FOR SOME ITEMS ON A PARTICULAR DATE ,THE TENSION WAS BUILDING UP IN ME BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE PART OF THIS EXCITEMENT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD HOW IT GOES AND I HAVE SEEN IT ON TV AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT NOT LIVE,FROM WHAT I GATHERED ,PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING AROUND FOR ENQUIRIES CONCERNING EQUIPMENTS AND ITEMS TO BE SOLD AND I WAS ALSO INFORMED ABOUT THE TURNOVER OF THE PREVIOUS AUCTION DATE WHICH ACCUMULATED TO ABOUT 500 PEOPLE THAT REGISTERED, WOOOOOOW!.

500,500,500,650,800,800,800,1200,1500,1800 AND THAT WAS THE AUCTIONEER CALLING FIGURES ,BUT THE FUN OF IT ALL WAS THE WAY THE AUCTIONEER WAS CHATTING,THE RAISING OF HANDS  AND THE BUYING OF A LOT OF STUFF FROM ONE PERSON,IN NO TIME EVERYBODY THAT BOUGHT STUFF, STARTED COMING AROUND TO PICK THEIR STUFF AND I ASKED MYSELF A QUESTION,WHAT DO I REALLY GAIN FROM ALL THIS ACTION?,AND I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT,I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE PROCEEDING AND ALSO REALISED THAT BOTH BUSINESS MEN AND INDIVIDUALS WERE THERE ON GROUNDS OF GETTING SOMETHING CHEAP TO THEIR VARIOUS BENEFITS. SOME PEOPLE THERE TOOK THE ACTION OF BUYING ALMOST EVERYTHING OR MAJORITY OF THE ITEMS DISPLAYED

                THE UNDERSTANDING THAT BRINGS PIECE

This morning I was enjoying breakfast with a dear friend . Our time was interrupted by a phone call and a message that my wife’s mother had suffered a stroke and was in the hospital. I hurriedly made my way to the hospital to be at her side with other family members. She is doing well and even at this writing, the doctors are doing an MRI assessment on her condition, I had the privilege to look into her eyes and agree with her in faith for healing and recovery.  We believed for the peace that passes understanding to come over her.

This event troubled my heart. But, it also stirred me to greater faith . We carry on through life’s challenges with little thought for the presence of peace. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,Often, I have settled for the peace that matches my level of understanding, or that comes close to answering my “Why”. I tend to look for the cause, for the reason for the pain; rationalizing for the solution; hoping for the end of this suffering.

Peace!

I value that understanding comes from knowledge, Yet  our understanding falls short. Many times the cause has nothing to do with you or what you have done or could do. There are times when there is no earthly reason for the pain. It just is.  If you find yourself dealing with your life’s challenges, and peace seems to be missing, don’t settle, Don’t accept or seek peace through logical explainable reasoning. That’s not peace at all. Rather  be non-anxious, be thankful and stay connected!

This is the understanding that brings peace!

CHALLENGES OF A RELATIONSHIP

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

Every relationship has its own challenges and in reality, challenge is like someone trying to calculate mathematics and having a test on english,but the result of the calculation and test is what really counts. whatever the case or situation,life is full of challenges, and there are various kinds of challenges e.g challenges in marriage,parenting,life challenges, social issues.in the same way,human beings cannot occupy the same space=like a home or office.without transgressing and offering others,that is why families,work places,churches,schools and neighborhoods can become hotbeds of human conflict and suffering.

sorting out differences

challenge

In reality humans can be messy and hurtful.we don’t really want to be that way, we don’t intend harm,but most of us have  caused and received many relational injuries.We have all one way or the other insulted or  injured our parents, siblings,spouse ,children and a lot of other people.

With every challenge comes forgiveness.We have to forgive and forget and that is the only way we can overcome some challenges .The ‘result for challenges and forgiveness is simply a decision to let go of our regrets and our own view or justice.so getting rid of your partner does not get rid of the problem you have ,because half of the “problem” is yours . You can walk out on your relationship, but you can’t run away from yourself, no matter how hard you try! Rather than blaming each other, couples can learn how to work as a team and coach each other through the troubled times and power struggles.

In order to avoid any kind of regrets or challenges in a relationship we must :

  • Learn to forgive others
  • Learn to deal with physical distance in marriage
  • we must try to resolve what ever conflict we have .sleepless nights,headaches,stomach pain can all result from unresolved conflict at work
  • try not to be a workaholic, so that your kids will not miss you and you will see them often
  • No matter what situation you find yourself into,you must learn to love your partner.

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?

WHY WOULD YOU CRY?

HMMM!  I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE CRY AND I WONDER TO MY SELF ,WHAT WOULD MAKE A MAN  OR A WOMAN CRY?,IS IT THE EMOTION OR JUST A FEELING?, I WONDER!. I AM ALWAYS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS KIND OF ISSUES SOMETIMES AND I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOME FRIENDS AND MOST OF THEM SAID ITS ALL ABOUT EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS IN DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS.

I HAVE DIAGNOSED  AND BROWSED THROUGH MY BRAIN AND MY THOUGHTS AND  COME TO A CONCLUSION, THAT  A LOT OF THINGS COULD ACTUALLY MAKE PEOPLE CRY AND IN TRUTH, ITS ALL ABOUT EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS DEPENDING ON SITUATION OR CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WARRANTS OR MOTIVATES YOU TO CRY. JESICA GOT A MAIL IN THE POST ,THAT SHE HAS GOTTEN ADMISSION SHE HAS WORKED VERY HARD TO GET, WHILE READING THE MAIL TEARS OF JOY STARTED STREAMING DOWN HER FACE.

CRYING COMES AS A RESULT OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR SITUATIONS AND THIS DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUALS:

  •  THE BIRTH OF A CHILD THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR, FOR A LONG TIME COULD BRING ABOUT TEARS OF JOY
  • THE DEATH OR THE PENDING DEATH OF SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU FOR EXAMPLE PARENTS,FAMILY,FRIENDS,PETS OR JUST A WORTHWHILE AND COURAGEOUS PERSON.
  • DISAPPOINTMENT FROM A RELATIONSHIP
  • LIFE FRUSTRATION CAN BRING ABOUT TEARS
  • SOMEBODY BECAME SAD FROM WATCHING A MOVIE BECAUSE SHE WAS TOUCHED BY THE SENSATION IN THE MOVIE
  • READING TOUCHING POEMS CAN MAKE YOU CRY

CRYING IS A RELEASE OF TENSION AND SORROW,SOMETIMES ITS GOOD TO CRY

THE TRAUMA OF WIDOWHOOD

MISSING A LOVED TREASURE
WIDOWHOOD IS SOMETHING THAT BEFALLS PEOPLE UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT PRIOR ARRANGEMENT OR KNOWLEDGE AND IT GOES ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER EFFECTS, BUT THIS  CAN BE OVERCOME,  WHOEVER IS INVOLVED GETS HIM OR HERSELF COMPOSED WHATEVER THE SITUATION, I WAS BY THE FIRE BROODING OVER MY EXPERIENCES AND THINKING OF HOW MUCH I LOVED AND MISSED MY BELOVED, ESPECIALLY WHEN I REMEMBER HOW HE USED TO CUDDLE ME, PET ME WHEN I AM UPSET, TALK GENTLY TO ME AND HOW WE USED TO SIT BY THE TV OR BY THE FIRE DISCUSSING, “WHAT A MEMORY!” AND PLANNING ABOUT TOMORROW AND THE FUTURE, IT WAS REALLY NICE AND LOVELY, ALTHOUGH I HAVE FAMILY TO GO TO AND RELY ON , BUT ITS NOT LIKE WHEN HE WAS HERE, I MISSED HIM, BUT I HAVE REALISED THAT LIFE CONTINUES NO MATTER WHAT, SO I HAVE DECIDED TO FACE MY BUSINESS, MY LIFE  and TAKE GOOD CARE OF HOME .

I DO REALIZE THAT FOR A WIDOW NOT TO MISS THE LOVED ONE, IT’S GOOD TO SHOW THEM LOVE AND AFFECTION, INVITE THEM ONES IN A WHILE FOR OUTINGS WHICH WILL MAKE THEM TO BE IN A GATHERING OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY , WITH A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND LAUGHTER, THIS WILL GIVE THEM A REASSURANCE OF BETTER LIFE AHEAD. ITS GOOD TO ADVISE AGAINST THINKING ALL THE TIME WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO HEALTH ISSUES AND DEPRESSION AND A LOT OF UNNECESSARY SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT IS VERY NECESSARY TOO.

3D TECHNOLOGY 2

WHY THE 3D TECHNOLOGY IS AWESOME AND GOOD

THE FIRST GENERATION OF 3D TVs WERE LAUNCHED IN THE SPRING OF 2010 . 3D TECHNOLOGY IS STILL RELATIVELY NEW, SO ITS NOT SURPRISING THAT MOST CONSUMERS AND MANY REVIEWERS ARE STILL TRYING TO SORT OUT ALL OF THE MANUFACTURERS CLAIMS. FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY MEAN AND WHAT THEY SHOULD DO NEXT, THERE ARE SOME CONFLICTING AND SUBSTANTIATED STATEMENTS ABOUT 3D TV TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEING MADE IN A BADGERING MANNER ,JUST LIKE IN THE CLASSIC TALE OF THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES.

THE CONCEPT BEHIND 3D VISION ARE BOTH INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND COMPLEX AT THE SAME TIME. THEY ARE INCREDIBLY SIMPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED ON THE DIFFERENT IMAGES SEEN BY THE RIGHT AND LEFT EYE AS A RESULT OF THEIR SEPARATION. THE CLOSER AN OBJECT IS, THE GREATER THE DIFFERENCE IN PERSPECTIVE BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT EYE IMAGES, BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS AMAZING-THE BRAIN THROUGH INCREDIBLE COMPLEX PROCESSING OF THE RIGHT AND LEFT EYE IMAGES COMBINES THEM IN A PROCESS CALLED 3D IMAGE FUSION THAT CREATES A SINGLE VISUAL IMAGE. THE ONE WE ACTUALLY SEE WITH A SENSATION OF DEPTH FOR EVERYTHING WITHIN THE IMAGE-DEPTH PERSPECTIVE IS TRULY OUR SIXTH SENSE.

STANDARD 2D TVs, SHOW A SINGLE IMAGE THAT IS UPDATED 60 TIMES PER SECOND(HZ), SO 3D TVs NEED TO SHOW TWO SEPARATE RIGHT AND LEFT IMAGES AT THE SAME 60 HZ RATE. THAT DOUBLING IS CHALLENGING FOR BOTH THE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONICS. EACH TECHNOLOGY HAS ITS OWN CHALLENGING ISSUES THAT NEEDS EXAMINATION,WHILE MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT A TVs ABILITY TO PRODUCE EXTREME 3D IS THE TRUE TEXT 3D PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY .THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE.IT IS THE SMALL AND SUBTLE 3D RIGHT AND LEFT IMAGE DIFFERENCE THAT ARE THE MOST TECHNICALLY DIFFICULT FOR ANY 3D TECHNOLOGY TO ACCURATELY REPRODUCE.THAT IS ALSO WHAT IS REQUIRED TO GENERATE REALISTIC 3D, BECAUSE IN THE NATURAL WORLD,3D IS BASED ON SUBTLE VISUAL CUES AND DIFFERENCES.

SOME MOVIE INDUSTRY ANALYSTS SAY THE NOVELTY OF 3D MOVIES IS WEARING OFF AND OTHERS SAY AUDIENCES ARE LEARNING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOVIES SHOT IN 3D AND THOSE THAT HAVE 3D ADDED IN POST PRODUCTION.

ANGER AND TEMPER AND HOW DO WE AVOID IT?

THE EFFECT OF ANGER AND TEMPER

THE FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN WHEN ANGRY

FIRE OF ANGER

NATURALLY WE ALL DO HAVE OUR ANNOYING MODE AND WHAT MAKES US TO BE TEMPERAMENTAL WHICH SOMETIMES ALLOW US TO MAKE OR MAR ,DEPENDING ON SITUATION AND CONTROL MODE . AS A MATTER OF FACT ,HUMAN NATURE ,DEPENDING ON WHOM IS INVOLVED IS PRONE TO ANGER,BUT IT IS MORE HELPFUL IF WE AS HUMANS ,NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE OR SITUATION THAT AGGRAVATES OUR ANGER,  LEARN TO CONTROL IT,ITS VERY DIFFICULT BUT THE BEST BET IS TO WALK OUT, FOR LIKE ONE OR TWO HOURS ,ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A HIGH TEMPER,BY THE TIME YOU ARE BACK YOU HAVE COOLED OFF AND ALL WILL BE FINE EVENTUALLY,THAT WAY YOU WILL NOT BE FORCED TO DO WHAT YOU DONT WANT TO DO.THERE ARE MANY CASES OF PEOPLE SAYING I DONT KNOW WHAT GOT INTO ME AND I DONT KNOW WHEN I STRUCK HIM OR HER BECAUSE I WAS BLINDFOLDED WITH ANGER AND MY TEMPER WAS ON A 550 DEGREE,THEREFORE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO CONTROL MYSELF WHICH LEAD TO WHAT I DID.

ANGER IS A NATURAL THING FOR EVERYBODY,BUT IT IS ALMOST A DISEASE, IF NOT CONTROLLED AND IT AGGRAVATES  TO TEMPER WHICH CAN CAUSE A DISASTER,EITHER BY STRIKING OR INSULTING YOUR OPPONENT ,AND MAKES YOU SAY WORDS WHICH IS NOT WORTH SAYING AND DOING THINGS THAT IS NOT WORTH DOING, IF NOT PROPERLY CHECKED. IT IS ALWAYS LIKE A FLASH OF THUNDER WHEN IT STRIKES.

I WAS HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEBODY WHO SAYS HE IS ALWAYS VERY TEMPERAMENTAL DUE TO ANGER, AND HE SAID WHEN I AM ANGRY ,ITS LIKE I AM SURROUNDED WITH DARKNESS THAT I CANNOT SEE, AND WHEN I STRIKE IT IS VERY DEVASTATING AND THE OTHER ONE SAID HE FINDS IT DIFFICULT CONTROLLING HIMSELF WHEN ANGRY,WHICH MAKES HIM TO BE ABUSIVE AND INSULTING,BUT FROM MY LITTLE EXPERIENCE ,I DO REALISE THAT THE BEST BET IS TO WALK AWAY,ITS ALMOST LIKE A NUT DIFFICULT TO CRACK,SO THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO WALK OUT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT AT THAT POINT IN TIME FOR  A LITTLE WHILE AND WHEN YOU COME BACK THE  TEMPER WILL BE AS COOL AS  ICE WATER.”ANGER IS A KILLING THING:IT DESTROYS THE MAN WHO ANGERS,FOR EACH RAGE LEAVES HIM LESS THAN HE HAD BEEN BEFORE-IT TAKES SOMETHING FROM HIM”,”ANGER AND INTOLERANCE ARE THE ENEMIES OF CORRECT UNDERSTNDING”.

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST HOBBIES

I WAS WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND WE WERE HAVING FUN AND DISCUSSING, AND I GOT UP AND ASKED ,COULD ANYONE HERE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE GOOD AT DOING?, AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN THERE LIVES AND AT DIFFERENT POINT IN TIME?,ONE OF THEM SAID HE LIKES PLAYING GAMES,AND THE OTHER SAID HE LIKE’S BINGO AND ONE SAID HE LIKES LISTENING TO MUSIC AND ONE SAID HE LIKES WALKING ON THE ROAD IN THE EVENING’S BECAUSE IT HELPS TO LOOSE WEIGHT AND ONE SAID WHAT HE LIKES MOST IS EATING ESPECIALLY SNACKS AT INTERVALS,THEN A FRIEND SAID TO ME YOU ARE ASKING ALL THIS QUESTIONS,NOW YOU TELL US WHAT YOU LIKE DOING THE MOST OR WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT DOING?.

HMMMMMM,WELL!,WHAT I WOULD SAY I AM GOOD AT DOING IS THIS:

  1. EXERCISES: I LIKE DOING A LOT OF EXERCISES,ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAKE UP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND I ALSO LIKE GOING FOR A WALK IN THE EVENING, WHICH PUTS MY WEIGHT IN PLACE.
  2. EATING: I LIKE EATING GOOD AND HEALTHY FOOD AND AVOID EATING FATTY FOOD
  3. SLEEPING: I LOVE SLEEPING BECAUSE,I BELIEVE GOOD SLEEP GIVES GOOD HEALTH,ENERGY AND VITALITY TO THE BODY AND I TRY MY BEST TO HAVE ENOUGH SLEEP,NO MATTER WHAT MY SCHEDULE IS WHICH IS WHY, I TRY TO SLEEP EARLY MOST TIMES.
  4. TEACHING: ANOTHER THING I LOVE DOING IS ADVISING AND TEACHING MY FRIENDS,CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND YOUNGER ONES FROM MY LITTLE EXPERIENCE  ,BECAUSE I BELIEVE “FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF EXPERIENCES OF LIFE” YOU CAN TEACH OTHERS,SO THEY CAN LEARN FROM IT AND USE IT AS A YARDSTICK FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND MOTIVES IN WHATEVER THEY ARE PLANNING OR WANTING TO DO.
  5. STUDYING: I LOVE STUDYING AND READING FICTION BOOKS LIKE NOVELS,AND ALSO LIKE SURFING THE INTERNET FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESEARCH AND LEARNING

AFTER I TOLD THEM MY OPINION, WE CHANGED THE TOPIC TO SOMETHING ELSE, AND MY QUESTION GOES TO YOU,WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT DOING MOST?.

HOARDING AND ITS EFFECTS

WHY DO THEY HOARD AND WHAT DO THEY HOARD?

hoarding is a delicate issue to discuss and very difficult to comprehend but from my understanding i will say hoarding is a pattern of behavior that is characterized by the excessive acquisition and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that would seemingly qualify as useless or without  any values.there are different kinds of hoarders e.g.compulsive hoarding,book hoarding,animal hoarding e.t.c.

It is not clear, if hoarding is an isolated disorder, or rather a symptom of another condition, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is rated to be more in adults, and is greater in older adults than younger groups, in men versus women.The factors associated with the disorder include alcohol dependence as well as loss of loved ones especially due to death or divorce, and obsessive-compulsive traits.people who have suffered an emotional trauma or a brain injury often find house cleaning an insurmountable task,thereby turning there house to “garbage Can”.

The effect of hoarding behavior has been associated with health risks, impaired functioning, economic burden, and adverse effects on friends and family members. hoarding can prevent typical uses of space to limit activities such as cooking, cleaning, moving through the house, and sleeping. It can also be dangerous if it puts the person or others at risk for fire, falling, poor sanitation, and other health concerns

Doris, lived with her 2 children, aged between 1 and 28, and described her current hoarding behavior as a ‘small problem that mushroomed’ many years ago, along with corresponding marital difficulties. with the exception of the bathroom, none of the rooms in the house could easily be used for their intended purpose. Entry to the house was through the garage and the kitchen.
