Thoughts Of A Dreamer

Despite my conviction that there is something that seems "off" about the subject of this written word, it is not a misprint.  A psychological theory called the "Social Learning Theory" postulates that people learn new behaviours and go through the learning process by watching and copying others. This hypothesis is what is called peer pressure. All we have to do is engage with people in our immediate social circles—be they parents, teachers, friends, classmates, coworkers, influencers, or celebrities—in order to get knowledge from them. Peer pressure, in my opinion, is not as harmful as the media portrays it to be. 1. People only use the phrase negatively when they have learned "wrong" behaviours from one another. This is the only reason we view it negatively. While you have undoubtedly heard the statement, "I started drinking alcohol because of peer pressure," you have probably never heard the one, "I became a billionaire because of peer pre...

Trubutaries are rivers or streams that flow into a larger river or lake. In other terms a tributary carries contents to deposit them in a larger body of water, in some sense the tributary empties itself into the large river.  To get a better understanding it is important to note the following : Rivers have always been important to people. In the olden times, people settled along the banks of rivers, where they found fish to eat and water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Later, people learnt that the fertile soil along rivers is good for growing crops. The world’s first great civilizations arose in the fertile flood plains of the Nile in Egypt, the Indus in southern Asia, the Tigris and the Euphrates in the Middle East, and the Huang (Yellow) in China. Rivers in this way were a clear source of life and proximity to them meant a better quality of life. Today I want to use the Amazon River to drive my main point home, the Amazon is the second longest river in the world and has...

Scarcity is at the heart of economics. We appreciate money because it is hard to get by, there is a GREAT demand for it, and there is a lack of it. Products and commodities that are rarer are worth more, for example, a Rolls Royce vs a Toyota or diamonds versus common pebbles. The Rolls Royce costs more due of its manufacturing process and high-quality components. These high-end cars are not mass-produced; instead, each stage of the manufacturing process is very important and is occasionally tailored to the needs of the customer. Depending on how rare a vehicle is, that determines its worth. The rarity of diamonds is what gives them their value; the majority of us, however, have seen far too many ordinary pebbles. I'm attempting to illustrate the notion that anything or someone is naturally valued more if it is rare. This explains why dining in a 5-star establishment costs much more than at a fast-food restaurant. Every meal is a piece of art and is produced to order since fast foo...

 The word media and the word medium can be used interchangeably. This is because the media is in between the sender of the message and the receiver. We receive information through the media and that information shapes us and influences us in many different ways. The media is the media-tor and it is used to inform and spread a message. Take the newspaper for example, it is our source of information on many different topics. The Media Controls our thoughts and conversations, even though we may not realize. Most of what we know, think or believe is through media. We all learn a lot of things from the Television programs we watch, we are being "programmed" to believe and act in a certain way. At times we are being programmed to do the right thing and at times the wrong thing.  I was thinking about the power of music and music videos the other day.... A song is not just a "song" but it is a message being sent and broadcasted through media.The song then influences the rec...

God  created time , from days to nights, he crafted it all to teach us about seasons and changes. In essence the day Metamorphosises and becomes the night , the master planner designed it all so we could understand times, seasons and stages. As you were conceived you were transformed over time  into a baby, simply put you cannibalized your core. You died in a certain form to be reborn again in another form, just like seeds are "burried" so they can be reborn as plants. Genesis 1 verse 14 reads.. "And God said" Let the be lights in the dome of the sky to separate day and night  ; and let them be signs for seasons and for days and years. Spring "chases" aways the winter as the light diminishes the darkness. Darkness flees when the light shines , weaknesses dissappear if you are tested in areas of confidence. Your life will come to an end when the time of your death comes. The mistakes you made yesterday won't be repeated today if you transform every...

Everytime you  push through the pain and persist you are activating your own happiness.  The reason you feel so bad about your life may just be a symptom of a disease CALLED "Failure To Persist". Had you persisted in the past you would be living in a different present. The great news is you can start being persistent today because it is never too late. No matter your age, it is never too early or too late to start. We seek comfort hence we do not persist, so when there is resistance we simply quit and just give up. In his book No Excuses, Brian Tracy goes on to write the following statement "Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Your ability to hold on when things get harder is what will set you apart from the crowd. Being persistent brings together patience and faith that things will indeed work out in your Favour. Things do not work out for those who do not keep trying again. The people you admire are persistent, they held on where many men let go. Do you think E...

I had a revelation I want to share with you. A lot of us are praying and looking for a miracle when we are the miracle. Your existence is a super natural event , planned and coordinated by the master planner who is the Alpha and the Omega. I want to highlight this truth to you, before you came into the physical world you were in spirit form, unseen and unheard of. Would you agree with me when I say that we serve a God of miracles? And if we serve a God of miracles what was his greatest creation? Are we not God's greatest miracle, made in the image of the creator? [An image is a picture] so you are the "picture" of God. Men is the only creation God touched and molded with his own hands and breathed into nostrils the breath of life and men came alive .Is that not miraculous and supernatural? You are a miracle, but many of seem to not know this truth. We have been made to feel worthless and less than what we really are. This then affects the perception we have of ourselve...

 Fruits come from trees, trees come from seeds... What seeds are you sowing in the fertile grounds of your life today? When you eat an apple, do you ever think about the process that made that FRUIT to be?  Nothing just happens, there is always effort  behind something but unfortunately we usually focus on the results not the actions that precede the results. What we see is the output and not the input, this leads to us just assuming it just happened.. When in fact someone made it happen.  When we see a person driving a Lamborghini we see the car and not the process the person had to go through to get to a point where they could afford to own a Lamborghini . I want to share a truism with you ;We all want the Lambo but we DON'T want the process the person had to go through, in other words we all want to reap fruit but we do not want to sow. This is a recipe for disaster and an "application" (an application which will be approved by the way)for depression.  G...
