Why do I blog? / Responsible Love / True Love

Why do I blog?
Eventually I would like to write a book about my life. Even if nobody buys it I would love to be able to read and appreciate moments in my life that I would not normally think about.
Blogging is important. Sometimes when I read what I have written I cannot believe it is me that wrote it.
I need to invest more in my life. My habit of reading has regressed and I am disappointed about that.
I pledge to read for life. I pledge to life weights for life. I pledge to Jesus Christ for life.

Responsible Love
I had a discussion with a friend of mine about what true love is. He said you must love to the point where you can let someone go and still fully love them. He called it "responsible love", responsible because you know it won't work out but still 200% wish the person the best. I was so surprised it was a young man trying to teach me, his uncle, about love.

I had something else I wanted to blog about.... I can't remember now...

Maybe next time.

Badology

I have done some things in my life. I don't know whether to call them stupid or just plain random.
There was a time I used to sign all the dollar bills I got.
Why? I would also check dollar bills for my signature just to see if I received one that I had previously written on.

Sometimes I wonder what the point on life/success is if the majority of the people around you seem to be regressing.

Randomology

Driving and how it relates to MY life

I was thinking about this recently. I drive a lot in Abuja and I am so grateful to not have gotten into any type of accident since I started driving/living here.

I try to think a lot. I try to see possibilities and risks and try to mitigate against them. I have been in a car accident before. My brother was driving. Our windows were tinted and it was a little dark outside. We were at an intersection and had a stop sign in front of us. My brother had looked right but I guess the tinted windows didn't allow him to see well enough because a car was coming from the right side. Me, being on the right side and paying close attention to what was happening then proceeded to say  "Seun, a car is coming". The next thing that happened was typical of our relationship, me always warning him and him never listening. I  sat in the car, braced myself for impact, all in slow motion, while halfway shouting "Seun a car is coming"...

The two cars hit each other! BAM! And I just kept muttering, "a car is coming, Seun.... I told you a car was coming."

I was very pissed off that day. It was in the morning and my whole day was affected because of it. I was supposed to be on my way to class when it happened.

Anyways that day left me thinking, our lives would be better if we saw the accidents coming our way. Well maybe not. But I kinda believe that accidents - especially car accidents - we see about to happen



But anyways after the accident, my brother got out of the car to make sure the other guy was okay. It was an Hispanic man. I saw a part of my brother which I see often, the part that actually cares about people and I was impressed because even though he can act monstrous sometimes he was capable of being a gentle giant.

As always maybe I am just saying nonsense and just trying to write a blog post because I am supposed to do one every Monday.
But by writing this I got to rethink some of the demons that me and my family members need to deal with... which is listening to one another. Giving and Receiving advice is part of every relationship.

My family members need to learn that.

I. Need. To. Learn. That.

Egos cause wars

I have been thinking about this for sometime and it has come down to this.
I believe all wars have been caused by egos. I believe egos cause wars.
Nothing else.

Matter of fact I can boil it down to say Egoism is the source of all our problems.

Just random thoughts. Well, not really random but yeah.

I needed to write a blogpost this week. This is short but hopefully helpful.

deliverance

The Lord will turn the failure of your life into success
the poverty of your life into blessing
Every sickness of your life into good health

I still can't believe 2013 is gone. Never coming back. This ish is real.

Your birthday and 1st of January of every year have something in common, they help us realize that we are on a journey and whether we move or not we are being moved.

I don't know if that last sentence made sense.

Anyways I am rethinking a lot of things. Sometimes I just want to chill and chill. All this work work work, is it necessary????

Anyways, looking ahead. in 2015 i'll be 27.. KAI!
2015 is my year. I feel it in the middle of my stomok (stomach), I must to marry in 2015 (by God's grace hahahahahah)

Heaven uses technology (Mathematics)

Heaven uses technology (Mathematics).
On judgment day, when you are called to stand in front of your Creator or who ever will judge you, one of the criteria that you will judged upon will be presented on a powerpoint. Heaven show you a graph showing how you spent most of the |hours| of your life.

These are some calculations below:

There are:
24hours a day
x 7 = 168 hours per week
x 52 = 8736 hours a year

Assuming you live till you are 80 years old
8736 x 80 = 698880 hours

Assuming a grace of 20 - 25 years, for "discovering yourself"
- 262080 hours (calculated using 30 years)

That leaves 436800 hours

- Sleep @ 8 hours a night = 145600 hours
- Eating, Bathing, other miscellaneous @ 4 hours a day = 72800 hours
- Work @ 8 hours a day for 5 days a week = 104000 hours

= 114400 hours
114400 other hours that you can allocate to other things,

Some people will allocate a majority of these hours in to things like:
Watching television, spending time with friends, using social media, extra sleeping, and countless other ways people spend their time "unconsciously".

My point is that you will have to explain how the majority of your life was spent. And Heaven will present it in a clear and cogent manner (using technology of course Lol).

Maybe this is all BS.
Because at the end of the day you cannot calculate what will earn your salvation. We used to be able to until Jesus came and brought forth grace. The main point of this is to emphasize the importance of time management and seeing the big picture. Every day counts.
