Not all good plans are beneficial

 "Not all seemingly good plans are necessarily beneficial for you. There exist numerous misconceptions about planning. As the saying goes, 'Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.' However, it's important to remember that a plan alone is not sufficient; it's a workable plan that holds the greatest value.

Sometimes, plans may appear enticing on the surface, but upon implementation, they can lead to regret. The effectiveness of a plan hinges significantly on the judicious allocation of time and resources. Interestingly, most well-conceived plans may falter precisely because of their pursuit of perfection – perfect plans are not immune to errors.

Taking a positive step at an inopportune moment can turn that step into a misstep. Regardless of how impeccable a plan may seem, if it is not executed at the right time, it can be worse than having no plan at all.

Consider the idea of starting a personal business. While the intention is commendable, venturing into such a business without acquiring sufficient knowledge about ethics, production management, capital sources, location, turnover rates, and the business's sustainability can amount to a futile endeavor.

Likewise, planning to relocate to another country is a noble aspiration. But before you embark on such a journey, ensure that the country you intend to move to is indeed a land of opportunity rather than a barren wasteland or a place of conflict.

Investing in a profitable business is a wise decision, but entrusting all your resources without any backup plan is unwise.

Likewise, pursuing a career in medicine is admirable, but it becomes insubstantial if you lack the passion for the field and the empathy needed to care for people.

It's essential to recognize that what works for others may not necessarily work for you. Just because others have found success in a particular endeavor does not guarantee the same outcome for you.


Interestingly, some plans that appear promising have led many to ruin, while apparently flawed plans have resulted in great fortunes. A discerning spirit guided by divine wisdom can help you distinguish between the right and wrong paths. Pay close attention to what God is communicating to you in each season of life (Ecclesiastes 10:10). If the iron is dull and not sharpened, it requires more effort, but wisdom is invaluable in directing your steps."

THE TWO SIDES OF THE COIN

'The Tale of a Very Good Bad Girl'  This girl is kind but with a twist of madness, an unpredictable force of nature. In her calm voice, she asserts, "If I can spend all my energy saving a soul, I can also invest the same energy in taking a soul." She embodies the sides of a coin with a magnetic effect, attracting energy at different frequencies, and wielding both light and darkness. Celebrating a decade of being a "very good bad girl" reflects a journey of resilience and adaptability. Life has served her portions of poison without pause, making the choice between the sides of the coin consequential. Maintaining the facade of a purely good girl is too costly, while the bad girl persona adds an enticing edge.  In a world where "bad girls" often seize better opportunities, the "good girls" frequently end up with the leftovers. This isn't mere sarcasm; it's a hard truth. Being too good often leads to having one's rights trampled u...

I AM NOT A RASCAL

I'm not a rascal; I'm strong-headed. There's a distinct difference between being a rascal and having a strong will and mind. I'm disciplined—not rigid, but unyielding and impossible to easily twist. Some people mess things up and claim that just because I don't change my stance or agree with them, it makes me a rascal. They mistake my firm voice and unwavering will for something negative. But I know what a real rascal is: someone with no good intentions, someone who breaks the law, violates rights, defiles people, robs, acts like a thug, and disrespects others' cultures.  Here's the truth: I’ve shown time and again that you cannot silence my voice—it’s strong and clear, reaching far and wide. Just because I’m strong-headed doesn’t mean I’m a rascal. And if I appear simple at times, don’t be fooled—simplicity is not the core of who I am. Remember this.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE

 Placing all our trust in humans instead of in God often leads to significant disappointment, as aptly expressed by Kuforiji Afolasade: "The height of your trust determines the depth of your disappointment." There are moments when we reach out to others for help, but they may not respond. In such situations, it's possible that God is using their absence to teach us valuable lessons that their presence couldn't impart. We may be disheartened and disapproved by those we trusted the most, but it's essential to realize that their presence might have complicated matters and prevented the right people from coming into our lives to offer genuine help. Perhaps, where we stand today, we have experienced rejection and disarray due to the absence of support from our parents, friends, or spouse when we needed them the most. This could have resulted in various setbacks, financial crises, serious health issues, broken relationships, spiritual attacks, business failures, unemplo...
