YOUR HEALTH
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. BEGGAR! You actually need little or nothing before going to bed. It's advisable to take fruit or very little beverage before going to bed. As an African, we were thought to eat a lot at all time even at night.. Food was never a problem. The danger is this, the food you eat at night before going to bed can kill you. This is what happen to the undigested food. It roam about in your system finding a place to rest. Two things can happen at this point. The food can therefore becomes a poisonous gas in the system that can be harmful to our health. Secondly, if by chance the undigested food float to your chest, liver or through region, it can choke and kill instantly. Also, drink less liquid at night; this could be harmful to you and to the bladder.
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. Organic food are best for our health. I could remember my grandmother, she was 125 years when she died. She never lived in a town or city all her life. She lived her life on farm produce, organic product. At age 115 she was still walking on her feet unaided. But today, most of our food are container food, processed food, and canned food. The chemical used for the preservation process are harmful to our health. We have seen sickness like cancer, cancer, cancer. Where is it from? Why is it rampant in the west and not in Africa? Africans eat less of canned food and are having less cancer compared to the west. My advice is Drink Plenty of Water at all time except at night, Eat less of Processed food.
Try in all you do to live with the 3 E's. Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy. Happy people live long, stay young and are charge forth with bustling energy from others. Ever stop tho think why soldiers match n uniform or why jet fighter take their flight in triangle or why birds on a long trip fly in triangles?
Read more books than you did the previous year. Read anything readable, out of that nonsense, there is more-sense in it. The faintest ink is better than the best brain, I have heard that before. The books you read today tells how your life will in the next four or five years.
Don't always be the tail bearer, don't always let your mouth drop in sound. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Dedication is the food of the soul. It brings the mind, body and soul to a perfect equilibrium.
Take a 10 to 30 minutes walk daily. And while you do, smile. That is the height of the benefit it gives. Your smile helps stimulate the facial muscles and keep you younger than your age. In addition sleep for 7 hours a day.
YOUR PERSONALITY
You don't have to compare your life to others. You have all it takes to be the great. God created you and put all it takes in you. You are padded and fully load with abilities to succeed anywhere on earth. One more thing, you never know what they journey of those you envy are like.
Be very careful that you don't have negative thoughts on things you cannot control. Instead invest your creative energy in the positive present moment, and see how you can bend the present to suite your future, the present they say is flexible, yesterday is rigid and tomorrow is adsorbent. Your tomorrow is accommodating to your wish and plan of today, if you have none, it gives you what it prepared for your, of which you might not like.
Don't over do anything. Too much of everything is bad, keep your limits. don't take yourself too seriously, no one else does, stop trying to impress everyone but yourself. You may end up being a failure that way. And don't waste your precious time and energy on gossip. Time is precious, if not ask a businessman who misses the train by few seconds. envy is a waste of time, you already have all you need in you. Look within and bring it out. Everyone is package well.
Dream big act big. Dream more while awake. Set a goal for yourself and go after it. The goal you set for yourself should be S-M-A-R-T-E-R
S- Specific
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Realistic
T- Time Bound
E- Enjoyable
R- Rewarding
Your goal should be endless, once one is achieved, set another goal for yourself.
Forget issues of the past, and don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. This will ruin your present happiness and put a question mark a dark cloud hanging over your future relationship. The Bible says, he that covers the sin of a friend seek friendship, but he that reminds others of their past deed, the very same scatters friendship. Every negative issues of the past; leave it buried and let the sleeping dog be still. Life is too short to spend time hating anyone. Don't hate others; this is the seed of the devil. All you have to do is make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present and make you a wanderer tomorrow. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appears and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. sometimes in life we have to pass through school of hard knocks, and move on in life. You don't have to win every argument, sometimes you have to agree to disagree for peace to reign. Smile and laugh more.
Get connected, call your family often. give to your parent substance that will cause them to bless you from their heart. This is the first of God's commandment that goes with promise.
Ephesian6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the earth.
In each day give something good to others especially the poor. It is a command. Mark 14:7 for ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
Forgive everyone for everything, happiness lies in forgiven others without look back. In all you do, never forget to spend time with people over the age of 70 and kids under the age of 6. Untapped wisdom lies beneath.
As you stepped out each day, try to make at least three people to smile. What other people say about you is never your business. No one knows you better than you know yourself. There was a time, some journalist took it upon themselves to write something negatives about my Bishop in the newspapers. Some of the elders came to him panicking to report what they have read in the papers. He calmly told them, '...I don't need to read those papers, can anyone outside of me know thing about me better than myself? Except it be lies...' There are distractors to channel you off your goal in life. Be deaf to their taunting.
Finally, your job won't take care of your when you are sick, your friends will, stay in touch and stay connected. It is true that grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy, you must have somebody to share it with. Protect yourself with friends, not with fence. But in all, remember the words of George Washington. 'Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it's better to be alone than in bad company.'
I hope you find got something refreshing.
