The Power of Quality Decisions


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Decisions are like earthquakes. They have tremors or consequences that affect generations even long after the person who takes them is dead. That is why decisions should not be made in a hurry; and without accurate and sufficient information. On no account should decisions be taken through gambling, divination, emotions or compulsion.

Decisions made with sufficiently garnered information are natural practical decisions that are dependent on information. Therefore, be sufficiently informed before taking a decision as right information birth right decisions. Do not take decisions in a hurry. The ideal thing to do is to slow down and gather all the necessary information you need before taking a major decision. You may need to slow down if you notice that you are being stampeded to take a decision especially so if your emotions are largely involved. Beloved, you would be moving too fast without the right arsenal to shield you. The right arsenal in this case is sufficient information. Practical decisions require practical senses, the common sense that instructs you to gather the requisite information so that you can take informed decisions. This may require that you leave your comfort zone in order to garner the right information that will enable you make decisions based on privileged information.

Dare to Succeed

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Break barriers, leapfrog limitations, rein in your thoughts and emotions, refuse to be overwhelmed and overburdened by situations that appear to be challenging and intimidating by controlling your thoughts and emotions and focusing on your God given goal to succeed in His plans and purposes for your life. Please see Joshua Chapter 1 verse 8, Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 12 to 13.

Ignore catcalls and sniggers, whispers, deliberate provocations from people and situations determined to stop you from making progress. Instead, pay attention to your goal. Nehemiah ignored all the contrivances of Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem and their other cohorts. The gates of Jerusalem were rebuilt and repaired. Please see the book of Nehemiah. Ezra and his fellow workmen under the leadership of Zerubabbel, Governor of Judah completed the task of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem despite the stiff opposition to the task. They chose to and dared to succeed. Please read the entire book of Ezra for great insight into this amazing story of a people’s determination and courage to succeed in spite of all odds.
