............

As you should have noticed ,there's no title...*laffs*. it was intentional. This blog is intended to inspire everyone that bumps on it *laffs*.....that's why I don't really post very personal daily routines, like how I woke up and brushed my teeth and all that kind of stuff but only what will inspire someone else. Hence the name INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGES....and its not going to change but only modify..... Realised that I haven't formally explained what this blog was all about....so i thought to do so now...pardon my manners..
You know those times (especially at nights) when you are just on your bed, with your earphones on, and the music so loud, its like you are in a world of your own.....and you just want to stay there. Well I'm sort of in that position right now....hmmm.
Its funny what I realised (apart from my imagination breaking limits) in my 'me time'....the kind of songs I listened to, reflected my mood at the instant...If the song was sad, I thought of all the sad things that had happened and made up some futuristic ones also...*laffs*...if it was a love song, I thought of all the failed relationships I've been in and how I'm still very single ... but when I listened to brilliant songs (they were christian songs by the way), I actually felt lifted and like I had the ability to change whatever situation I was in...the power of music. I'm seriously in LOVE with MUSIC....but I'm also very careful of whatever I feed my soul with (of which music is a very important food for the soul) because it will find expression somehow. Though I wouldn't deny that sometimes I'm drawn to songs that aren't inspiring probably because of their brilliant rythm...but I have also realised that at the end of the day, I felt better listening to the songs that encouraged me than the ones that kept me down. they feed the soul with lies, discouragement, broken hearts and pass the wrongest of messages, the most irritating of them, that SEX=LOVE...Its all just very silly....
Someone said.."think about what you are thinking about"....because "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he"....
paraphrasing the second part, we have, "a man becomes what he continually thinks on". I totally agree...think about it....love you all.......

the beautiful SOUL

Mirrors...at least plane ones, are supposed to reflect and produce an exact image of the object in front.. most mornings when I wake up (.. I'm also sure you do the same), no matter how much in a hurry I am, its almost impossible not to steal a glance at d mirror just to make sure I look presentable as I go out...that just shows how important a mirror can be.
A good image of one's self has away of boosting your confidence so much that when you step out,it seems like you can take on the world...*it just might happen*....A bad one the other hand can deflate your self confidence & trust me, those aren't your finest hours.
So how do we escape this dark aura and boost our image?....is it by putting on more makeup...(im soo not against make-up) or wearing fancier clothes....Of course these things are good, but I want to draw our attention to something deeper.
lets picture a scenario where you woke up one bright morning and really cleaned up nicely..looking all hot..you looked yourself in the mirror & scored your image a 101%..*laffs...there are days i feel like that. then as soon as you step out,ready to take on your world, someone just splashes muddy water on you...how would you feel? bad, i presume...from this picture, its safe to conclude that the reflection we see no matter how beautiful it appears, isn't enough to tie our confidence to, because of its very temporary nature.
lets picture another scenario where this time around as you dressed up your body, you also dressed up your soul. as you stepped out, some guy also splashed muddy water on you...I don't know anyone in their right mind that will be happy with the incident but unlike the first scenario, you still have something going for you. In fact, you still have like 99.0%  intact and what you lost (your fancy clothes) becomes negligible, because no matter how bad the stain was, its still miles away from reaching your soul...How are you dressing up your soul.....this is my point of interest..
 my next post would be sharing thoughts as to dressing up our souls and the kind of  mirror used in checking out the reflection of our soul.
