WEEKLY STIMULANTS: DOUBT YOUR BELIEVES 6 - ANCHORS



We all need Anchors as we sail through Life

WHAT IS AN ANCHOR?

An Anchor is a heavy device attached to a Boat or Ship by a rope or chain, which is thrown into the Water to hold the Boat or Ship in Place.
The Anchor is used to keep the Boat stable, when its idle and the engine is not running or in the event of a Storm or contrary waves.

Another definition of an Anchor is “A Person or Thing that provides strength and support”

As we Journey through life, we encounter storms and obstacles. Without an Anchor, it’s easy to get discouraged or give up. That which will take you through the most trying periods in the pursuit of our goals in Life is what I call Anchors.

A wise man once said, “Have an Anchor so that life does not toss you around”
What is that one thing or who is that person that is your support when the storms come?

ANCHORS TO HOLD



1)    GOD: The greatest of Anchor is God Almighty, your Creator and Father. Now it is important that we cultivate a Father – Son or Father – Daughter relationship with our maker. He is God to the whole world but He cares enough to be your Father and you know that in vain we build, if He is not the builder. That and an unshakable Faith in His Unfailing Love is the most sustaining Anchor.

2)    PARENTS: Our parents can be our Anchor. A burning desire not to be a disappointment to your parents is a sure anchor in this race called life. Whenever, you are tempted to throw in the towel remember your Parents.

3)     THOSE WHO SAID YOU CAN’T MAKE IT: A fuel for performance and an Anchor is the negative people in our lives. Yes those who told you, you will amount to nothing, that said you are good for nothing. A wise man once said, “The best revenge is massive Success” the drive to prove them wrong is an Anchor you can hold onto. Remember, the table is prepared in the presence of your enemies.



4)     KNOW YOUR WHY: If you know your why, you can stand almost all adversity. Whenever you are tempted to give up, you remember your why and that is enough fuel to keep you going. This can only happen "when you begin with the end in view."


It's ok to doubt what you had been taught to believe

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
