Good morning dear reader, how has the week been?
Before we get into the weekend mood I want to quickly share this with you. I want to take time out to thank every participant of our 2016 December Conference(TIAG 1.0). You guys are the best and I trust you can boldly say it was worth the time invested right?
In case you missed this maiden event or will like to keep its memory fresh, you can download(with chrome preferably) the audio version of each sections here.
We could not get the event covered fully because our media department refused to miss out of the move of the Holy-spirit. But here you have a glimpse of the Impartation section. To watch click here.

This week is definitely one grand week for us as Covenant of Life because as an Institution and Ministry we clocked One year - December 07 while this arm of operation called CL Blogs will be one year old on the 15th of December. If we have in any way blessed you, It is time to pay us back via our social handles or in the comment box with comments, follows, shares and likes.
Back to the business of the day:
YOUR ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
If what you are doing doesn’t produce resistance,
what you are doing is not worth doing. Consider these facts:
-
Without resistance of water, ships can’t
float
-
Without the resistance of gravity, men
can’t walk
-
A rubber band is effective only when
it is stretched
-
A turtle gets nowhere until it sticks
out its neck out.
-
Kites rise against the wind, not with
it.
If I continue, I will keep citing instances
and examples but for brevity sake our just concluded conference is one great example for a case study.
The process of struggle develops your character, your
strength and your mind. Stop hiding from success because you are afraid you
will fail. Failure is necessary stop fearing risk. Have faith and step up to
reach for the stars.
Everything
in life involves risk:
When I talk risk here I am not talking about selfish activities young adults get involved in this days all in the name of making money - bets, gambles & outrageous interest oriented stuffs. Below are risks I am talking of;
-
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
-
To weep is to risk appearing
sentimental
-
To reach out for another is to risk
involvement
-
To expose your feelings is to risk
exposing your true self
-
To share your ideas and dreams with
others is to risk rejection
-
To live is to risk dying
-
To hope is to risk despair
It
doesn’t matter what you risk now, what matters is the outcome of what was
risked. What
justifies the risk is what is picked.
What
are you picking?
Let
me dwell on this a bit;
-
To
laugh is to risk appearing the fool. Do you pick laughter or foolishness?
Attitude determines the outcome.
-
To
live is to risk dying. Do you pick life or death? Your attitude influences your
choices and your choices make you.
Oppositions
are propositions that take you to the up-position. Attitude sometimes
make them/it remain oppositions.
Consider
the battle of David and Goliath. When Goliath came against Israel, forty
thousand Israeli soldiers thought, he’s so big we can never kill him. David looked
at the sane giant and thought; he’s so big I can’t miss him. – Attitude!
Everything!!
Can you run an attitude assessment and share the result with me?
I remain your coach in service.
Oluwatobiloba Oshunbiyi,
Covenant of Life.
