”You are doing something very sacred here, something very daring, during your life upon the earth. You are defining yourself, and then creating yourself anew, in each golden moment of now.” Neale Donald Walsch
******************************
We have moved to another chapter of our lives. It’s kind of surreal that it’s already the 16th of January, 2018. I haven’t been able to write due to challenges on the health front. The latter part of 2017 was kind of hard but I am thankful that I have fought a winning battle on my health, I don’t give up easily, however, I must admit that I did get a few knocks on the head.
And I learned a lot of lessons. Life could be boring without a few bricks thrown around you, the trick is, don’t get knocked down.
I believe a New Year symbolises new beginnings, opportunity and ability to start again, and afresh. I don’t think we should be dwelling in the past, neither should we allow failures of the past to live through the present. However, we can learn from the past, check what works and what doesn’t, and then plan strategies on how to have better results.
I intend to live each day at a time, and to have a clearer vision of what I want to achieve each day, and by the end of the year. I would have lived well.
One of my key determination this year is to give lots of love to people I know, and to people, I don’t really know that well. There’s a kind of love that never fades, God’s love. It is eternal, you’re precious and beautiful in His sight, that love naturally flows through us, but there is a catch, we have to allow it. I honestly believe that love can solve most of the world’s problems. Racism would be a thing of the past because we would see everyone through our own eyes. A mirror image of ourselves.
Love would eradicate selfishness, greed, and war. It would open the floodgate for peace and herald the continuous presence of serendipity. Gone would be the harsh realities of revenge and defiance, divorce would be a taboo and murders would be far gone from our shores.
Love would heal our planet, we would do things for the benefit of others only, and through that, we would be fulfilled because we would be our brother’s keeper. We would be like Watchmen, repairers of the breach. There would be no reasons for proliferation of arms. Nuclear warheads would be like dinosaurs, things of the past.
How I crave for those kinds of moments. Moments that Neale Donald Walsch described so vividly, ”You are doing something very sacred here, something very daring, during your life upon the earth. You are defining yourself, and then creating yourself anew, in each golden moment of now.”
Let’s share that love.
I wish all my friends love that never fades.
Love freely, uninhibited and full of joy.
Much love, always!

Thank you Christy. Love and peace to you. Hope to see you soon!

You’re welcome Seyi.
Love – conquers all – they say. And very true 🙂
You’re right old friend. Love is good. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Your words are as beautiful as they ever were. I am so glad that your health is good again; I missed you on the blog scene!
Thanks so much Ronnie. I’ve missed you too! I’ll be stopping by your blog soon, I’m grateful for your visit.
Blessings to you. 🙂
Happy New Year my friend. I am glad you are feeling better and have beaten your health problems. As for love, it can transcend everything if we let it, as long as we recognise those who choose the other option and stop them spreading their hate and violence.
Happy New Year Ste J. I’ve missed reading your insightful and awesome reviews, will be touching base soon.
I concur my friend. Doing nothing about evil is the same as that act of evil itself. We do need to stop those who spew their hatred and ignorance in the world. Thanks for stopping by. And here’s to great moments. We really do need to catch up soon on PM. Take care.
I am always around for a PM and am getting on with the review notes like I was a few ywears ago, at the moment, which is great. We do miss your presence around here my friend, even though there is so much to distract the hardworking blogger.
That’s good. I’ll definitely find time and tell you all about that thing we were on the verge of doing several moons ago. I really try to blog but I’m still on some medications that makes that almost impossible. I’m almost done with that though. I’ll head over to yours soon and see what you’ve been up to.
Have a great weekend old friend.
You concentrate on getting better my friend, stay safe and warm and doing things that make you happy. I look forward to your words as always.
Thanks so much my friend. I’m staying warm, I haven’t been to the office this year, I should go back soon. I will be heading over to yours now. Have a great weekend!
What a beautiful post Seyi, may you get better health wise and lets spread more love wherever we go! wishing you a very healthy happy new year!
Thank you so much for your kind wishes Ute, I am really very grateful indeed. I do hope you’ll have peace, prosperity and contentment this year.
Much love. 🙂
Here is to wishing you a blissful and bountiful 2018. Ill health cannot and will not bring you down — this I believe.
Keep on shining that light, my good friend.
Oh. My. God! Uzoma, it’s been ages. How are you old friend? I’ve truly missed your weekly proverbs and serialised story. Have a great 2018, and I do hope you’re blogging again.
I appreciate your visit and kind comment, thank you!
Aah! A triumphant return! Glad to see you posting, although it looks like I’m nearly a month late. Make the regaining of your health your priority, Seyi. You’ve got a lot to live for, and a lot to give. Much love, kiddo!
