THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, 'THE WOMAN', TOPIC: My MOTHER , MY INFLUENCER.

 


MY MOTHER MY INFLUENCER.

WHAT KIND OF MOTHER DO YOU WANT TO BE?

 

           Even before my first tears hits the ground, my mother was there to wipe it away. My mother feels my pains before I can even realize it. She understands my needs before I can even think of them.

 That’s why we call her a mother.

 My mother has been an extraordinary influence in my life and always will, she is the kind of mum who would always take timeout to care for her children not only her biological children, but also her spiritual children, adopted children, friends, families, relatives, love ones and even enemies. She lived sacrificial live, she is so simple and easy going, always smiling even at difficult time, she doesn't give up and she has taught me to be strong, prayerful, reliable as a woman, sister, wife, mother and all that I represent.

 




BE RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE:

"Reliability and responsibility are two quiet virtues that can announce a person and make him or her a generational blessing.”
 
 “She taught me to be a shoulder to lean on for my generation, to be a rescuer to my generation and also a lady of substance, influence, knowledge, filled with wisdom, hardworking, spirit filled, never giving up type, to be a lady that set goals, focus on the goals and never give up”.
She taught me to always be responsible and respectful, she taught and influence me to be a shelter that people can always run to, a hospital for the sick, a hand that feeds nation's, a lady that Is a blessing to her generation.
       Despite what she faced in her husband's house, she never allowed that to stop or disturb her early assignment. She so much love children and they always surround her, even few hours before she died she still went to church and asked the little children to come out and thank God on her behalf for divine healing, I thank God for her life because even at the point of death she still went to church before dying. What a fulfilled life. My mother has always been a very strong role model to me and everyone around her, growing up with someone like her to look up to has changed my life in many ways, she has helped me grow physically, spiritually, intellectually and considerately. She taught me how to love, care and give back to people. She is the one who was there to lean on when I cannot fix my own problems and always taught me to lean on God the more through the study of the word of God, walk with God and always communicate with him. Her advice and words make me, she always knows what to say or when not to say anything and she let me try things myself. Her influence affects the way I lived my life, she never pushed even though she probably wanted to but never let me to give upon something am good at either, without the influence of my mum I would have no morals, I wouldn't know how to maximize my true potentials.
 
“NEVER GIVE UP”

She has always encouraged getting up and trying it a gain no matter how bad I was, she always believed in my dreams. If I want a thing she supports me to get it especially when it’s something that will impact me positively, I could remember while coming to school I was about giving up because my family wasn't financially buoyant as at then, but my mum never let me give up on my dream of becoming graduate, she tried all possible means, she sacrificed a lot of things to watch me and my siblings go to school and succeed in life. She always said to me “what doesn't kill you simply makes you stronger, better and wiser' and that suffering don't last long it's only a matter of time.”

 She is simply the best always, she is a role model indeed.
 
 
RECOMMENDED BOOKS:

I recommend Gifted hand by Ben Carson, it's Ben's true life story which also contains how his mother was a great influence in his life and family. Also I recommend Just as I Am by Billy Graham there he mentioned seven life lessons he learnt from his mother which are:
 
1 Dignity in hard work.
2 A mother's prayers are powerful.
3 Spend time in God's word every day.
4 Start reading at younger age.
5 Marriage is worth fighting for.
6 Even the best parents make mistakes.
7 Finish well.

THE Champions series 63, POEM Titled: Follow Your Heart

  FOLLOW YOUR HEART We live in a society  Where minds are positioned And our thought conditioned We’re told what to think and say What to eat and not to eat Where to go and not to go What to wear and not to wear Our minds are left fallow Always on the lookout to follow Unable to make our own choices As children, we wanted something more Something more than just warm embrace We had pictures pictures of what we wanted once Stamped to our hearts We grew up and realized We had let it go like a common coat Because we were told… To follow Follow the system Follow religion before conviction Fashion before innovation Education before passion Gratification before distinction Celebration before determination Monitivity before creativity My teacher once said, Vision precedes competition Wisdom precedes ambition Journey not without your brain Men’s opinions will ruin But God’s opinion will lift you Make your decisions and follow your heart.

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 85, TOPIC: THE DANGERS OF WHAT IF?

  I have thought of the best title to give this article and the above was all I could think of. So many lives have not been inspired or will I say some destinies have been limited or simply not being helped because we have always dwelt so long on these two words “ What if ” . What if, I am criticized? What if I don’t sing the song so well? What if I fail at my first attempt and many what-ifs? IN THOSE DAYS Some of my friends and I in 2012 pioneered a group called “world-changers” and in the early stage of The initiative I had so many questions unanswered within me but somehow, I was so focused on the passion burning within me to lend my little voice to the youth who was our targeted audience? I had somewhat ifs? On my mind. Then, as an undergraduate, we had days we travelled to states for strategic meetings to plan for the world changers events , I didn’t recognize the impact of that investment we were making on ourselves and others. One of the days while we went for this...
