Excess Luggage


When we want to embark on a journey, we plan it and set the things we need on that trip and before taking off. Importantly, where we are going determines what kind of luggage we carry and the level of planing we put in. This is because carrying more luggage than necessary always attracts a cost and so is improper planning. The same applies to our journey to success. There are things we desperately need on our journey to success or to help us down the road to achieving our breakthrough in success.  But there are also things we don't need because they don't contribute to the success we want and such things constitute excess luggage if we don't drop them. And every excess luggage attracts an extra cost and burden on the individual involved. 
The decisions we make daily in our bid to achieving our purpose of creation affects us greatly and determines the extent we can go. Gone are the days when the evil (bad decisions) that men make live after them, now it lives with them. So, be careful about the decisions you make because it can mare you or make you depending on its relevance to your life ambitions. 
A key fact in life is that we can like everything, deserve everything but can not have everything. Thus, in life there must be something that will live us if we must reach our target. Excess luggage can make us see our target but not get there. There are also certain relationships we must leave for us to attain our goal. Excess luggage can also make us lack focus because it continues to hold us down. Therefore, we must prioritise rightly.Show me a very successful man and I will show you a hard sacrifice he had made by forgoing certain things in his life!
You have to make up your mind for something that could come before it actually comes your way. Thus, it's important to take a stand before hand on what you want your life to be. Looking inwardly, one will see that most great men today have sacrificed their sleep, friends, pleasure and many other things necessary in life to attain the height they are now. All these constitute excess luggage that's why they deprived themselves of it. What are you depriving yourself of to attain your goal?

Motherly Love


What can compare a mother’s love?
Friends may fail
Lovers may be unfaithful 
Husband and w
ife may be unfaithful, 
But, a mother's love is faithful and overcomes the wind!

Mum you are the best!
And your love rejuvenates me
oh, how you overwhelmed me with care,
Darling mum, you are the best in the whole world,
I love you mum!  


In pain and sorrow you protect me
With love, you guide me
In kindness and humility you taught me to be the best
With care and passion you instruct me
With compassion you reprimand to make me better,
You are a blessing to womanhood!

You placed Gold on my fingers
You brought love like I've never seen,
Day by day you gave me the reason to live,
My saddest moments are made paradise through you
Mere knowledge of you, rejuvenates me,
I love you ever mum!

Names I can change,
Friends might fail and leave
Possessions may be damaged and changed
But a mother can never be changed
Mum, you are the best that can ever be!

Oh what can equate a mother's love,
Dearing and compassionate,
Ever protecting her child,
Never remembers the faults,
Always kind and caring
A love so amazing indeed!
