The beauty of thanksgiving
Thanksgiving as a way of life
The hustling and bustling, the excitement, the preparation, the announcements, the radio and television discussion about thanksgiving makes one to wonder how it would be devastating if there is no Thanksgiving, but for everyday that passes in our lives we always have a thing or two to say thank you for. Is it the job that we got or the birth of our kids or the house that we bought or the new car that we have or our kids graduating from school and we are happy for the blessing of God by giving us good and understanding neighbors or friends that always want to hear us out and listen to what we have to say and the people we have in our lives. We are thankful for all that has transpired in our lives from different angles of our various lives, starting from the beginning of the year till date.
It was a great and wonderful day when we went out to the salvation army place to appreciate the thanksgiving, the hall was full of people, the kids were playing around, the adults were discussing, the ushers were helping people with food and other activities in this place and the beauty of it all is the interaction and the happiness you see on people’s face on that particular day, the DJ was there doing his thing and the most exciting part of it was the gift that was given out from the ticket that was given out to everybody and to make it more elaborate was the band that played at this occasion, the little children that were singing and playing around and the host and I then said to myself, no matter what your situation is and whatever you are going through, we need to give thanks for every single day of our lives, for every single breath that we breathe and for the lives of our family and friends.
some are in the hospital not able to go out or see friends, but the lives that they have is worth being thankful for and it is always a thing of beauty to say Our father in heaven we thank you, if that is the only prayer we have, it is worth it. We have always been thankful for everyday of our lives and when we sleep and wake up, but the most beautiful thing about thanksgiving is being able to say thank you after all our lives experiences on the thanksgiving day is absolutely amazing. Some families go out on that day to the movies to have fun which is part of the beauty of thanksgiving. One other thing that i appreciate and value about the thanksgiving is the black Friday, a lot of family is making preparation for this day so they can buy stuff for a moderate price and enjoy the bliss of the thanksgiving ceremony and another thing that i realize is people going out on black Friday despite the cold to buy stuff for their various families.

Real Life Testing
Life Experience Test
Life always has its own challenges and its own test and Real life testing occurs not when all is going well but when we have challenges and great life experiences. Life as we all know sometimes has its ups and down which includes different events and issues arising and that is where our experiences of life comes in, and life experience is sometimes considered Real Life Test, humans being what we are always want to make the world a better place. We always have a purpose to life and committing to that purpose is a necessity and it is the beginning or foundation of every good thing that comes our way in life. whatever we are doing we have to make sure we do it right because time waits for nobody and life waits for no one either and that is why we have to keep moving and doing what we love doing best.
There is a particular quotation which i love by an unknown author which says “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.” Author Unknown I have realized that the earlier you face your goals and purpose in life the better, for life would be much easier, understandable and this will make achievements and many great things happen. As we all know challenges of life includes financial, relationship, work and many more ,but they all revolve round achievement of life and the more achievement we have of our dreams and goals the better for us.
The past always holds us down and due to this we always have the fear to make a leap of fate or try other things, but many a time this becomes a great hindrance to us and our progress, but as the saying goes “nothing venture nothing gained”, our experience of life is a great instrument or tool that will help us in getting to our destination if used properly and diligently but no matter what the situation and making that leap of fate is our key to stardom, progress, miracle and greatness.
For us to get to our goals as a blogger,writer,engineer,lawyer or whatever you are, the process of goal setting is the answer to most of our needs and it helps in focusing on what you want to do or need to do and not what others assume you should do and this will surely help in your life accomplishments. It is always a good thing to instigate change and transformation and if possible be the one to shine the light for others to follow. As we all know life is full of opportunities and getting hold of the best opportunities is the greatest fulfillment of life.
“Often, the most extraordinary opportunities are hidden among the seemingly insignificant events of life. If we do not pay attention to these events, we can easily miss the opportunities.” Jim Rohn Our abilities and attitude to life is a great factor that could bring about our success in life. The challenges and life experiences could stressful and at the same time challenging and boring, but that does not mean we should give up for there is always joy in the morning. Try being consistent and persevere no matter how tough and difficult it is. “Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.” Dale Carnegie
The Smallest Step In The Right Direction Can BeThe biggest step of your life
Stepping In The right direction – the biggest step of your life
Taking the smallest step in the right direction can go a long way, as we all know life is not always a bed of roses but as we lay our bed is how we will lie on it. There are times when taking the smallest step in the right direction will go a very long way because that step if taken could be the greatest and best in your life. Whatever takes, taking an action and focus will help you in a very big way. Sometimes we have a motive or a goal but because of laziness or procrastination, we tend to stay in the same spot, all because we refuse to take that little step in the right direction, but a step taken could have been a win situation but instead we get distracted and overwhelmed with unnecessary issues of life.
Sometimes you meet the love of your life, but miss or lose that person because you refuse to profess your feelings due to fear and doubt of what that person will say, same goes for a person that wants to go to college but keep postponing admission because of unnecessary situation. Sometimes we plan on getting a job but we are lazy about applying and end up losing that job same goes for a business man who has a lucrative business prospect that might change his life for the best, but because of delay, doubt, second thought and not taking action could make everything go wrong. You need to stop having second thoughts and start taking action because that would be the biggest for you in the right direction.
The clock is ticking and the fact that time waits for nobody simply means whatever you need to do, do it quick. everybody has a dream and wants it to come to pass and we all want a new and better life but the fact remains that our dream to become a star,an engineer,a doctor, an entrepreneur and whatever we want for our selves can never come to pass if that first step needed in the right direction is not taken. Take that first step in the right direction so that whatever you want may come to reality. It is almost like that saying ” how you lay your bed is how you lie on it”, So regardless of what your goals or dreams are, believe in yourself and take that first step in the right direction, even if it’s a baby step. Whatever you wish would be fulfilled in the step taken in the right direction. Step into the world you want by jumping the broom into a new life.
