GREATER YOU

-


Is power the source of your greatness?
Is material wealth the measure of your greatness?
Is your ability to command many people the source of your greatness?
Are riches the source of your greatness?
Is greatness about the fearful feeling your name or titles evoke?
Or is greatness about our being special than others or being more beautiful or handsome than others?
Is greatness about one being more intelligent or wise than others?

So what does it mean to be great at all?
In my search of what constitutes greatness, I see Jesus Christ's SIMPLICITY, HUMILITY GENTLENESS, LOVE, RESPECT, TRUSTFULNESS and KINDNESS as the model for greatness.

Though the world measure our success or greatness by the amount of riches, wealth, power, investments, intelligence or the influence one has, I realised God in his love for us and through His grace and mercy deposits in all of us rich seeds of greatness. These are manifested in our special talents, gifts and abilities.

Like Saint Matthew, who Jesus invited to be his Apostle (9:9-13), we are also invited to follow the dictates and live the exemplary life of this great son: Jesus Christ, by taking those great steps to offer authentic service and continue to care for each other.

May God who blessed us with the lives of our nation founders, continue to help us reflect on their lives and efforts, as we also strive to ride in their heroic service with the glory of this new day.

Remain blessed. Greetings๐Ÿ’#KYB Sign# ™

Honouring the Elderly

In the library of living legends your name is recorded. In the library of borrowed hearts, our connections still live. In the library of our common history, a society of experiences still breathes. In this library of hope, are shelves of lives that still thrives. In this library of human resources are many with miles of smiles, Entrusted with a priceless collection of ancient folklore. In this library of pages are those with ages who guide us through the reality of this perilous-fun loving matrix of life. In this library of changing scenes of adventures are memories of moments worth keeping. In the present library of our future are the pillars and linkages of our common heritage buried in our bloodlines of our ancestry. This is why it's proper to revere the elderly in our society. This is why it's vital to honour and celebrate their contributions. This is why it's necessary to listen, learn and leverage our connections with the elderly and become better. Greetin...

From January to December III

-

From January to January, we've heard intriguing news of the jingles in our smiles. From January to February, the frivolous tales of our begging state and the hiccups in our economy. From January to March, we've matched the transitional tricks of our Master's shadows without questioning much. From January to April, we've argued our approaches to advance the averse averages in our growth. From January to May, we've marveled at God's  mercies on us even in our merciless murky moves. From January to June, we juggled and survived the trauma of needless perennial junctions, jabbing our base. From January to July, we've judged the jumps in our journey of jogging with our limping economy and the possibility of accessing the more bitter IMF's relief peels. From January to August, we've adjusted the distasteful grief in of our creed of greed which still bleeds the blessings in our nation. From January to September, we've stepped and stu...

Care for Boyhood

The numerous concerns about the behaviour of men in certain quarters has affected the development of boys. Even more worrying is the machismo and bravado portrayal of boys character trait. These developments coupled with some socialisation trends has equally fluenced boys and subtly contributed to the death of many men. The celebration of #InternationalBoysDay 2018, which is not a direct response to the #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild 2012, was to encourage teaching and modelling of boys value that include honour and integrity. The International Boys' Day  also focuses on the wellbeing of boys in the family, in classroom, in communities and in the country. Lead proponent of the day, Dr. Jerome Teelucksing from Trinidad and Tobago, encourages all to show appreciate and celebrate the strength and joys that go along with being a boy- not in competition with girls, but in tandem with them. Fact is that if we invest time, resources and pay attention to their development...
