FOUR THINGS THAT SWEET WEIGHT LIFTERS

FOUR THINGS THAT SWEET WEIGHT LIFTERS

Carry the one you can withstand that the advice a wise lifter would give you as a beginner.

LOOK AT THEM HERE: 

1. MUSCLES EXPANSION

2. SIX PACKS

3. STRONG BONES

4. RESPECT

1. MUSCLES EXPANSION: 

This number one is among the few things that motivated a weight lifter not to give up in his/her body building exercises.  

Weight lifters make it a point of duty in getting their body parts where muscles are to be expanded. 

It is this expansion of chest and shoulder and muscles that many concentrated their attention on to build first. 

This struggle in building such body parts are less compared to the struggle in developing six packs and other difficult areas of the body such as; neck muscle, tigh or finger muscles. So, do the one best for you. 

Yes, the one you need most can only be decided by you.

2. SIX PACKS: 

Developing six packs is one of the most interested part many young people hunger to have. 

Six packs of the stomach is the leading king every lifter would want to develop

 Six packs is so important because its gives the body the nicest outlook in dressing and admiration. 

If you have the nice body structure, you would have six packs, chest up, portable straight legs and shoulder muscles boasted high. This alone, makes other men to fear you even women would be attracted to you easily.

But you should know that power is not physique rather the strength of the soul that lives within. You are a weight lifter does not make you a strong man, only fearful men can fear you.

3. STRONG BONES: 

Yes. This is the purest truth about gyming. To have strong bones. Every lifter of heavy objects has the inner ability to convince himself of being able to work, build, motivate and destroy the imposible in the eyes of men. 

This strength is highly motivated either by anger or the urge to create a beautiful destiny. 

So, if you are seeking to have  a strong bone, it's not a bad thing rather its an urge to be more stronger than others both in doing and in growth.

4. RESPECT:

Respect is reciprocal they say. People who work in their body shapes and go ahead in maintaining it are highly respected not because of their power to destroy but rather their ability to have endurance to the last of the hour.

Weight lifers have endurance and can be in any situation till they conquer it.

Weight lifters believed so much in 'no pain, no gain' which has been overlooked by many failures in life.

3 THINGS WEIGHT LIFTERS WILL NOT TELL YOU

3THINGS WEIGHT LIFTERS WILL NOT TELL YOU

HERE THEY ARE;

1. WAIST PAIN: 

Every weight lifter has a serious waist pain. There are other parts of the body they do experience pains but this particular area is where its hook badly. Though lifters can be liberated or easyed with drugs, but once the drugs are not there, here comes the pains again. 

Every weight lifter knows that 'no pain no gain' they told themselves. It takes endurance to be a gym lover and continue to love gyming and lifting even when it pains alots without complaint.

2. MUSCLE PULL:

Another reason weight lifters actually will not tell you everything they pass through at the cause of rebuilding their tiny body structures especially muscle joints is muscles pulling. Muscle pull can happen at any part of the body that is over weight or that experiences stress or expansion more than other parts. 

There are two places of the body that muscle pull happens mostly. The hand shoulders and the tight muscles always awells up because of stress or maybe, body reactions sometimes. To control this muscle pull, you need to give your body rest and eat nice foods and take drugs that strengthens the muscle through nurishement of the body

3. WANT OF FOOD: 

Food is one of the things that weight lifters don't play with. A weight lifter can reject a beautiful lady and go in for food. Many lifters prefer fruits and light food while others like eating heavy food before going to gym house. 

Nevertheless, weight lifters eat belly full before going to gym and also eat belly full after gyming. Know that food is one good sure source of adding to the body size. Taking snarce to replace food after gyming or before gyming will not guarantee a good body structure and strength. Having a nice body structure will make you look attractive to so many people especially classical women.

2 THINGS YOU ARE A SELF SATISFIED PERSON

2 THINGS YOU ARE A SELF SATISFIED PERSON

Think about these two things on how they can change your life from where you are to where you want to be.

Self-Conciousness and

Self-Containment

There are two things you need to learn and do to enjoy this knowledge of first class and happy people in the universe.

First class and happy people are few in the world nowadays because many fell to develop on this self consciousness and self containment. 

What then is Self-Conciousness?

Self-Conciousness is knowing who you are naturally and working all your days in this world expanding and exploring yourself from within your soul or spirit and making it available for the good benefit of all beings in the universe. 

The Wright Brothers wouldn't have invented air plane without trying to realize the living spirit within themselves, that's what been a self consciousness being is all about. You keep trying to develop what is inside of you.

Your ability and willingness to explore what is unknown. The inner powers to believe in one's gifts which is in every being. You need to believe that your own idea can change the whole world for better or for worst.

What then is Self-Containment?

Self-Containment is accepting, acknowledging your innercore and the mission you were sent to earth to learn and fulfill. Being satisfied at all times. Knowing fully that whatever happens is the will of God for you. Knowing fully well that you are co-working with All Power in existence.

When you trust God with all your heart, when you have agreed within yourself that you are doing Gods' work only then would you know how marvelous and creative God has packaged you from the beginning of time.

To be a self contain person means to live a life of non-complaint, no worry's, no hatred and jealousy and always been willing to give a selfless help and services for humanity sake and survival.

So, as a ready self-realized worker on the face of the universe, try to know what you don't know and be aware of personal value, want and influential want, need or invaluable attachment caused by others.

To be in the first class line up, you must be in control of your existence on this earth. 

Your being here is not by a mistake. It is your destiny to come in this world at this particular moment and time. You should know the signs of whom you are becoming from tender age. Explore your talents! Believe in them. Fear not. You are untochable.

All great inventors knew they were for something special. They think and work with their ten fingers. They fail more than hundred times and rise again.

It is said that seven years is the universal accepted age of reasoning though it depends much on individual capacity of self realization. 

We grow higher through our ability of reasoning and questioning our existence here on earth. You are created to create and to explore new things - that what first class and happy people believed in. You can make it. It is better you try and fail than not trying at all. You are born a unique hero. Non like you in this world.

4 THINGS FIRST CLASS STUDENTS HATE

FOUR THINGS FIRST CLASS STUDENTS HATE

Anybody can be a first class student. But the hardwork part in becoming first class is the challenge. You cannot hunger first class if you like sleeping and playing unnecessarily. 

You must map out time for every action you take while in school. You must be aware of your challenges.

TO BE AT THE FRONT ROW, WHETHER IN THE GAME OF LIFE OR WHILE IN LEARNING ENVIRONMENT YOU MUST HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET. YOU MUST FREE YOUR MIND. 

YOU MUST KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, WHAT YOU WANT AND BE READY TO FACE THE UNSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE.

HERE ARE THE 4 THINGS FIRST CLASS STUDENTS DON'T TRY TO DO AND THEY HATE IT SO MUCH.

1. EXPO (EXAMINATION MALPRACTICES):

First class students hate expo to the core. They detest involving in it and get hurt within when they see other students doing it especially in the exam hall.

Seeing expo experts demoralizes first class students. It causes uncomfortable and sometimes drain some powers out from them. 

The remedy to this, never put first class students near dull students who hate corrections. Because when they see others with expo papers, they think distractions and blame school management for improper training.

2. DULL TEACHERS/STUDENTS: 

First class students hate dull teachers and students who refuses to improve in all areas. 

They need seriouse, educative, ready to learn students and enlighten teachers who knew the important of self worth around them. 

First class students want other students to learn from them so that they can trust and learn from their creativities.

3. DISOBEDIENTS: 

First class students hate disobeying school rules and regulations. They hate not doing class assignments and mid-term holidays projects work. 

They need people to inspire and be inspired too but only those students who would like to be like them are willing to be friendly.

First class students don't discriminate as they love teaching other students who come close and willing to learn from them.

They knew that disobeying leads to failure in class and can bring expel.

Therefore, there's no need to be stubborn to school orders and laws because it pays no gain.

4. UNSERIOUSNESS: 

First class students hate tattered and unorganized students and others who would want to influence them in any such art of unseriousness with their academics. 

Though unserious students may be directed and corrected but due to lack of vision and imagination, they turn sightless on the purpose and reason why they are sent to school.

First class students hate sure dreamless pattern of life styles because they are action oriented from the day one they discovered the very reason they were sent to school and try to be more self conscious and dream realistic people. That what made them to be at the front row for the first time.

THREE HARD THINGS BOYS CANNOT STOP WITH GIRLS

Massy

THREE HARD THINGS BOYS CANNOT STOP WITH GIRLS

EVEN IF WISE BOYS ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME IT, OTHERWISE BOYS CANNOT OVERCOME THEM.

TO RUN AWAY FROM IT, YOU NEED TO BE AWAKE AND AWARE OF THESE THREE THINGS.

HERE ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT BOYS CANNOT STOP WITH GIRLS:

1. LOOKING AT THEIR TWISTLING WAIST:

If there's a link between boys and girls, I guess it is 'twistling of waist'. Moving like snake. 

Girls always move majestically though it's like beauty that is based on the eyes of the beholder. Young boys who have not seen much in life tends to appreciate girls that's twist their backyard.

The hidden secret behind this attraction was, girls themselves have it as instinct and then intentionally add styles to it as they  move along side the road.

To put yourself off, better don't look at them while they move. How real can boys of these days do this - look away?

2. LISTENING TO THEIR SMOOTH VOICES:

It is true women have smooth and sweet voices during some intentional seductive conversations but, its mostly catches the young unaware men who are not aware of women voice tricking. 

If you must catch a woman in her trick, pay bigger attention to her voice; the intonation changes from moment to moment especially when it comes to a conversation between the opposite gender. 

To so many men, they love sweet voices more than facial beauty. Like someone can say; Oh guy! If you hear her voice! 

Another can say; I just like hearing her sweet voice. To get ride of this, try to find a girl with good character rather than focusing on her sweet voice and body movement, they are all for deception.

3. TOUCHING WITH FEELINGS:

Some young boys would tell you; guy if you touch her fingers, your feelings must arose. This touching and feeling is also applicable to girls as well.

Some girls would say; babe, he has smooth and long fingers. Touching with feelings is some times self deception where by the other person whose heart was not there may not receprocate as much.

So, if you are dying with feelings anytime you touch or you were touched, it is time for you to start controlling your emotions or be more aware when and when not  touching fingers are coming close to your sensitive body. 

To fly away from it, creat more projects in your heart and think thoughts on how to go about it in accomplishing the project. Remember to tell yourself, it's nothing much.

This trick is used by both genders to lure or seduce a novice  into the game of fake love making or relationship whether wanted or not.

FIVE THINGS UPCOMING SINGERS NEED BADLY

                     Nyomis Mlk 

FIVE THINGS UPCOMING SINGERS NEED BADLY 

THESE ARE THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS UPCOMING SINGERS NEED TO KNOW WITHOUT DELAY.

THEY ARE:

1. A PROMOTER: 

A singer needs a creative promoter whether he's upcoming artist or already-made artiste. A promoter is person or team who takes your produced songs out to the world whether the song is good or fair. 

A promoter is one or team members who do all the observations and corrections to the singer and still accept to take him to the universe. 

So, new artistes need not to play with any level of promoters on their side either doing great work or not. What count is, he the promoter is continuously pushing you higher even if the push is small. 

No promoter would like to push you small accept where there's no concrete agreement is reached. Only then would promoters give up on such individual. No matter what, new singers need constant recommendations from their promoters and be submissive to orders and corrections.

2. SHARP BRAINS: 

All upcoming singers need to have sharp brains. He needs to be shyless, bold and out spoken. He must possess the ability of communicating with people in a meaningful manner.

Blown artistes who have sharp brains avoid women and other distractions from friends and loving family members. 

Blown singers are religious incline even as many would not believe it. They pray all days and hours for their voices to be heard. They believe in what Jesus Christ says - "pray without season". Artistes who are dull fell to pursue their desired dreams in truth and that why they fail to receive from God Almighty who blesses people according to their hearts desire.

3. TEAM WORK:

Upcoming artistes need to be working with organized team members. He must seek to fix himself some where in the music industry or field. Either he's going clubs with others or he's in line with collaborations with other made singers of his caliber. Or busy building himself up somehow.

Team workers seek to help each other no matter what but never fell to learn how to stand alone and face your challenges. This standing alone is very risky but if maintained and sponsored can greatly improve your career more and more fast and make you out shine others in riches and popularity.

4. NEVER GIVE UP:

Upcoming artistes need  regular trying of new apps for songs promotion online and offline and getting in touch with people who show little and big interest to their career. By getting in touch, you are broadcasting yourself and your talents. The most crucial is, never give up on yourself and what you believe to be truth for yourself. 

5. FORESIGHT:

Any upcoming singer without foresight is doomed to fail woefully. Foresight is like a vision, a dream or what you would want to achieve in life in it's full view. To make it real, you must not allow your focus to be shifted by anything or by creative manipulatorsball around in our environment.

Artistes with foresight are like artistes with sharp brains. But a foresight artiste can easily lose focus after a great challenge. It depends on individual charisma. So, it is better to be calculative in all your move and commitment as an upcoming astiste.

PURSUING SHADOWS

    

PURSUING SHADOWS

BE MORE REALISTIC TO THE REAL WORLD.

STOP PRETENDING AND BE MORE FOCUSED TO WHOM YOU ARE CREATED TO BE.

But I tell you today that it is the fake beliefs about who we are not in real life that causes many of us heart bleeding and much pains. 

Stop, and look deeply into the kind of life and people you follow, you will know that all your days you have been busy pursuing a faked life. 

Read carefully and be liberated.          

              STOP PURSUING SHADOWS

Man is busy on earth, laboring and acquiring what he cannot keep, but the fundamental issues of life has he neglected.

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun, but if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all, yet forget to remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.

All that cometh is vanity. (Eccl 11:7-8).

Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming to live your life.

A child in a farm sees a plane fly over his head and dreams to fly.  

But the pilot in the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That’s life! So, enjoy yours today.

We are living in a generation where men desire to be given money without the zeal to know the sources of money. 

It is said that one dollar earned is better than the ten dollars gotten.

This is a generation where virtually all men are striving so hard pursuing shadows that almost all men have become “professional shadow chaser”.

There have been total misconstructions about the real things of life and their shadows but the truth remains that every reality of life has a shadow part of it side.

Which shadow are you pursuing?

The Apostles of Christ once pursued shadows, preferring to remain in Jerusalem just for them to maintain their “close-contact-relationship”.

Until Steven was tired they did not want to separate from each other. Remember the instruction was for them to go “go to the world and preach the Gospel to all Nations”. (Matt 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16).

But then, when that great piercing “lightening” of persecution came against them, they all took to their heels and that marked the beginning of the real journey to their vision in life - a mandate from God.

What do you pursue and what should you pursue?

Don’t pursue ambition for it is only the shadow of vision!

Don’t pursue money for it is only the shadow of hard work!

Don’t pursue fame for it is only the shadow of diligence.

Don’t pursue position for it is only the shadow of integrity.

Don’t pursue salaries, wages, stipends, and pension for they are only the shadows of the great wealth buried in you!

Don’t desire to secure a job which can be lost at anytime, rather pursue to create jobs which will employ as many as possible and put their visions through in life.

Live your real life. Stop fake living. Be more realistic.

It is disheartening how the youth and everyone are running away from their responsibilities. 

People who are only looking forward to be employed in already made jobs. 

We have been trapped in this mess for so long that we also desire everything to be already made for us. 

We desire our food, cloths, language, job environment to be already made only for us to enjoy.

The only thing left is for us to ensure our lives into the hands of others to live for us while we rest in the grave.

 Everyone is turning to the pursuit of shadows. 

Why?

Pastors who are called for a primary purpose of preaching the gospel to all nations, (Matt, 28 and Mark 16) have turned the visions of God into their own ambition. 

They are now preaching money to all nations not minding whether the souls are saved or not. 

They are not caring whether the multitudes they are living in their pockets have any source of livelihood or not. 

The preachers of this generation have their conduit pipes streamed down into the pockets of their congregation to fatten their bank accounts through establishing of schools and other firms which should be targeted at alleviating the poor standard of living.

Others engaging in one diabolic activity or the acquiring of powers to perform magic in the name of miracles and the ability to convince people to donate into their own pockets. This  was the same error that  Jesus Christ corrected in the lives of the Apostles who were sent to go and preach the Gospel only to come back rejoicing, not because of the souls that was saved nor their names that was written in God’s book of life; rather because demons were cast away and miracles performed. 

In response, Jesus told them to rejoice because of the vision of God which was carried out and fetched them their names being written in the book of life and not for the ambition of popularity in ministry which flooded their mind (Luke 10:1-24).

The pursuit of shadow and frivolities of life leads to frustration, disaster, shame, everlasting regret and unfulfilled vision in the life of man.

Still in the ministry! There are still many “Judas Iscariot” in the house of God who are still looking for their victims, people whom they will sell their conscience to enrich their “suicide pockets”.

Awake! 

Stop pursuing shadows! Come to light.

Men have been so intoxicated with the wine of ambition that they seek for every available means of catching the shadow called money; and can do anything just to have some raps on their palms. 

The ambitious state of man had turned him into a ritual killer.

Killing those who are meant to celebrate them and only leaving those who will make mockery of them behind. 

So we hear some works like: “be careful with that man before he changes your destiny.

Others embarking on robbery and fraud that they have turned the government and the society into their enemies, several others are swayed out by the taste of the “pea-nut” in their mouth that they don’t see the real food before them.

If money is the secret of happiness, the rich should be dancing on the street. 

But only the poor kids do that.

The rich in our society has been blinded by the food on their table that they don’t even recognize the presence of  Lazarus who has humbly brought the Heaven to their table, but today, they gnash their teeth of suffering and regrets living in past glory.

If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages but those who live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely.

Politicians are so conscious of money that they don’t even know their constitutional duty less to talk of their own mandates.

If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded but only those who live simply sleep soundly.

Which profession is free of this shadow pursuit?

Medical practitioners prefer money to saving lives and are always ready to change life with money.

The legal practitioners are so conscious of “pea-nut money” that they see the truth and turn it upside down. 

Others are willing to but because of “who has interest in the case”. Like Pontus Pilate and Cephas in the case of Christ.

Is it not because of money and fame that many are been lured and trapped in the occultism circle just to remain in position and maintain their money?

The pursuit of shadow ends in disappointment and frustration at a point in a man’s life.

Many have been so blind that they don’t know the difference between the real things of life and the shadow their entire life busy pursuing fake and abominable things of the heart.

Imagine yourself walking in darkness, and then looking forward, you saw an image in human form and you earnestly pursued it because you were so afraid of the darkness and what it comes with.

Therefore you needed a companion to walk and talk to. On getting closer, with that full assurance and confidence that “at last, you found a companion”, a very mighty lightening struck only for you to discover that you have been pursuing shadow. 

Oh! What a sadness, pain, regret and depression that will fill your heart?

That is how life is.

A great philosopher Dr. J. Okorafor from his book ‘Rivers of Wealth’ said; “No water keeps running in season and out of season if it had no fountain, only a fool would believe to have gotten a pool of water for quenching his thirst knowing full well that it has no fountain”.

Money is a shadow of wealth. When the light of sickness, economic meltdown, and lack of planning, fraudulent actions struck, the shadow disappears. 

Focus in digging out this treasure in you then money will follow up. 

First seek the kingdom of God and every other thing shall be added unto you said Jesus Christ
