WORDS OF WISDOM

Pls permit me to give you these words of wisdom sent to me. It will also be a great blessing to you.
Please read and meditate on them:
1. ON EARNING:
Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second chance.
2. ON SPENDING:
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
3. ON SAVINGS:
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.
4. ON TAKING RISK:
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.
5. ON INVESTMENT:
Do not put all eggs in one basket.
6. ON EXPECTATIONS:
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.
7. IF YOU are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Past is a waste paper. Present is a newspaper and future is a question paper.
8. WHEN bad things happen in your life you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.
9. EMPTY pockets teach you a million things in life but full pockets spoil you in a million ways.
10. OUR EYES are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.
11. WE USED a pencil when we were small but now we use pens... do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can be erased but not now.
So read and write carefully otherwise life will be a
tissue paper.
Hope you have benefitted.
Good morning purplenigmers 😘😘

RACISM

'Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres.
Racism will never end if pple still use black to symbolize badluck and white for peace. Racism will never end if people  still wear white cloths for weddings and black for funerals.
Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not whitelisted.
Even when playing snooker, you haven't won until u have sunk d black ball, and the  white ball must remain on d table.
 But I don't care, as long as I am still using white toilet paper to wipe off my black butt. I'm fine😊...

HELLO LOVERS

Good day beautiful people. So it seems everyone is really digging this Adele's Hello song,  so much that a number of covers have been released by our very own artistes namely Praise Adejo @officialpraiz, Omawumi @omawonder, @rubygyang. Those are their instagram handles and trust me when I say their covers on Hello are on blaze.
I particularly love the reggae flavor @omawonder added to her own version(It's sick!!!👌)
Anywayz you guys should check out the covers and tell me what you think or you can actually decide to make your own cover,  who knows? Adele might just fall in love with your own cover.
Anywayz was just passing by,  and decided to say "Hello"... Lol
Remember to stay positive today, smile all the way and oh yes,  did I mention it's a lecture- free day for me? 😊😊
Ciao 😘😘 #purplenigmers #positiveworld #positivevibes #positivechange #errythingpositive

PRAYFORPARIS

Funny how Nigerians are so bothered about the terrorist attack going on in Paris right now,  while for over four years now, Nigeria has been suffering from the Boko Haram insurgency and nobody cared, not until the Chibok girls incident...
But now here we are,  people changing dps to France flag,  #PrayforParis all over Twitter,  Facebook and Instagram. Now I don't know if people are doing it because they truly care or just to show that they know the latest news but how I wish we(Nigerians)  could be that  passionate about the situations of our country like we appear to be about the situation in Paris.
Even the Post-Biafran movements going on now,  Nigerians are not really bothered.
I mean if all these people I have seen talking bout praying for Paris would also pray for Nigeria in the same vein,  the truth is that we will be in a better place by now.
Don't get me twisted, I am also praying for Paris. I am not a saddist or racist. All am saying is that it's high time Nigerians started being real and concerned about Nigeria. I mean how many Nigerians used Nigerian flag as dp when we were having serious bombings and terrorist attacks? How many people were even truly concerned?
People  were just all about themselves "in so far as they are not bombing my state", they would say.
Yet here we are,  acting all religious,  worried and concerned about Paris
We get so bothered and worried about things going on out there, but little or no worry for things going on in here,  our home,  Nigeria.
Nigeria can be a better place if the over 150million people can actually whisper a word of prayer for Nigeria every morning.
Well,  am just saying....
God Bless Nigeria!
God Bless Paris!
Have a beautiful day purplenigmers!

TGIF

 Yaaaayy thank God is Friday 😊😊

I personally love Fridays cuz it just gives me enough time to pamper myself and chill out a bit... Watch movies,  hang out with friends,  you know,  something different from the normal weekly school routine. 

Anywayz am sure y'all know about the Hello Challenge trending on twitter?

Well for those who don't, the power house British singer Adele, has released yet another mind blowing single titled HELLO. 

This song is like airborne ;everywhere i go,  someone is either humming it or playing it or talking bout it. 

Then recently,  this trend started on Twitter #HelloChallenge -  you send a part of the lyrics of hello to your ex then your ex sends to his ex and it goes on like that... 

It's been fun all the way. 

So if you  were to send a line from Hello lyrics to ur ex,  which part would it be?? 

Oya drop your comments asap
For me,  it would be there's such a difference between us and a million miles

Chao! 😘😘😍

HAPPY

Happiness is not something you wait for,
Happiness is not something you plan for,
Happiness is now!
Every moment you have,  every time you spend,
Is an opportunity to be happy.
Happiness is not some fairytale movie,
You have to make it happen.
Happiness does not necessarily have to be when everything is working out well for you,
Or when you have it all rosy,
Happiness is a state of mind,
and the key to unlock that state lies in your hands.
You have the power to make yourself happy,  regardless of the circumstances surrounding you.
Don't wait for something to happen to you or someone to come along before you can be happy.
While waiting on a job or Mr/Mrs right,  you miss a perfectly good opportunity to be happy.
So live in this moment,
NOW is all you've got,  so soak up all the happiness you can.
Be happy,  no matter what....
You owe yourself that much.
Determine to be genuinely, intensely and constantly HAPPY!!!
Have a wonderful day ahead purplenigmers.

DO YOU LIKE YOU?

You got ur make-up on fleek,
The latest dresses at your pick,
Every party,  you show up real quick.
Get your nails done, curl your hair
This us what you want,  to belong
So they like you,  do they like you?

You wanna be known by every clique,
You want your name seen on every list,
You think all these will do the trick,
When it obviously makes you weak.

You don't have to try so hard,
You don't have to give it all away,
You just have to be you and be real,
You don't have to change a single thing.

You are perfectly flawed, beautiful in your own skin,
While trying to be who you are not.
You might end up missing the real thing,
Never you hide your true identity and character,
Cuz you never know who is falling in love with who you really are.

Happy new week purplenigmers 😘😘

AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY

An apple a day keeps the doctor away,  but it turns out they may have specific health benefits beyond that.
A recent study of 50 people by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago found the odour of green apple helped reduce the severity of migraines.
"This may have something to do with the ability of pleasant fragrances to relax us and reduce tension " says Charles Spence,  a professor of  Experimental Psychology at Somerville College,  Oxford.
So start eating apples and remember the healthiest way to live is to BE POSITIVE!
If you have a positive attitude,  you won't even have a migraine in the first place because you will have no cause to worry,  believing that everything is gonna be just fine...
Happy Sunday purplenigmers 😘

A PIECE ON LOVE

Don't tell me you love,
Let your act speak the thought.
Don't tell me you care,
When i need you, be there.
I don't want to be your sometimes,
I want to be your always.
If you are repeatedly telling me to stay,
Then give me a reason not to go away.
But if you  treat me the way you please,
Then this is where I  take my leave.
Lol i hope you like the piece. I just scribbled it up now while am meant to be doing my assignment (covers face).
Anywayz comment, like... Peace.

RIGHTEOUSNESS REDEFINED

Good morning beautiful people. Am sure y'all had a splendid night. Hope you said your prayers?
Well this morning,  i stumbled upon something beautiful and i felt i should share.
More often than not, we do not understand what God actually expects from us or what exactly to do to please him.
This is why many have given up on true christianity, they would just rather settle for being a regular churchgoer.
But permit you to tell you that you have gotten it all wrong! Yes indeed...
God is not expecting anything from you.  He is asking you to do NOTHING! Yeah,  you heard me.
Does this girl even know what she is  saying" you might be thinking. Let's fall back on some authority:
Amplified Bible :
Romans 3:22
22Namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [And it is meant] for ALL who believe. (emphasis  is mine) 
  Romans 4:3
3For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed in (trusted in) God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness (right living and right standing with God).^(A)

^{These are not my words, it's all written there,  in the Bible. God requires nothing from you but to BELIEVE in His son,  Jesus Christ, who sacrificed his own life for the atonement of our sins through FAITH. Here is another keyword. The first one was Belief, niw the second is Faith. BELIEF and FAITH are knotted up together, remove one from the equation and you lose the other. They work simultaneously. Now some may be saying "I am a good person so God should have no problem with me even though I am not born again". True that,  you have good deeds but what distinguishes you as a child of God, the only missing link is your BELIEF in Jesus Christ through FAITH. The point cannot be over-emphasized. At the end of the day,  you are not justified by your good deeds but by your faith in Jesus Christ. FAITH is everything to a believer. You cannot do without it. It is Faith thay gives you acccess to GRACE(Unmerited Favor). FAITH gives you access to  God's glory. It is only by FAITH that anyone can please God So stop thinking for God; worrying about that test,  or what you will eat or that friend that is misbehaving,   and start believing. Faith is key,  remember,  personal trust and confident reliance.} 

It is not collective trust,  don't rely on the  faith of another,  your mum or dad or friend,  build your own personal trust in God. 
Have a blessed day!

IT'S LIFE, LET IT PASS!

It can be so frustrating when you have a lot going through your head but you can't seem to find the right words to justify your thoughts or feelings or confusion.
It's like everything is muddled up in one big dough and no one seems to really get what's going on, cuz the words can't justify the thoughts,
Then you are just stuck in your own anomia.
Nothing can be more annoying or devastating like when you want to say so many things but the words seem to have gone on a frolic of their own,
then seconds later, when the moment  has passed,  then all the right words would start rushing in and you will be like "why didn't I say this?",  "how could i have said that?".
I'm sure many of you can relate right now.
So what could possibly be the solution to this beautifully packaged problem??
My answer goes thus : It's life,  let it pass .
At least now you know you are not alone so don't beat yourself up too much over that. Such is life,  no one is perfect.
You cannot always say the right things at the right time to suit the right person.
At times,  we say or do the wrong things  but it's in the midst of all these beautiful imperfections that we create for ourselves,  beautiful memories that we can look back on and smile... Why?
Cuz IT WAS LIFE AND YOU DECIDED TO LIVE IT....
Have a beautiful day purplenigmers 😘

OH HEY PURPLENIGMERS!

The pic says it all. It's two ways.  You can either sit down there and keep wishing or stand up and start working but one thing is sure: the outcome will not be the same. So start something,  don't wait for tomorrow,  JUST DO IT NOW! And while you are it,  stay focused. Keep your eyes on the prize.
If there's one thing i want us to learn today,  it is this : The moment you deviate from the original plan, the entire dream or goal or vision becomes cosmetic.
What am trying to say is that once you set out to do something,  don't get distracted by other attractions you will meet along the way and deviate from the original goal, the ratio decidendi(reason for the decision) because if you do so,  you might just end up achieving nothing at the end of the day.
For instance, the main purpose fir this blog at first,  was just to have a marked territory of my own  where i can pour out my feelings and experiences and daily challenges without having to explain myself to anybody but along the line,  the objective changed. Now my sole aim of Purplenigma97.blogspot.com -  Perfect Imperfections,  is to ignite the fire of positivity, that is constantly being subdued by all shades of negativity, in the world.
Thus,  the point is if your new reason is not better than the previous one,  then stick to the original plan.
Nothing can stop a man who knows where he is going to.
Constantly remind yourself of why you are doing what you are doing and above all,  stay POSITIVE.

SHORT NOTES

When you push yourself so hard and you think you are about to break, that moment right there,  is when you just broke into something real... It's called LIFE,  so live it,  experience it and shine through it.
Have a lovely day purplenigmers.

GOD 'S IDEAL 😍😍

Happy new month Purplenigmers😃. Just like yesterday, 2015 rolled in,  and here we are,  almost rolling out of the year .
The Year 2015 has been characterized by a lot of happenings - The Good, Bad and Ugly (I personally have had my share if it all) but despite all,  I am still standing,  you are still standing.
We have every reason to be grateful to the Lord Almighty for life, love,  grace,  health,  family,  friends and lots more.
If not for anything,  for the fact that you can read this post right now and you are not blind,  it's enough reason to just look up and say "Thank you Daddy".
In this new month,  I want us to  carry a positive mentality wherever we go. "I cant" should never be in your diction. Remember, You can do  ALL things through Christ who strengthens us(Philippians 4:13).
Therefore, stay positive, think positive, eat positivity, speak positivity, breathe positivity...
Be so filled with positive vibes that it becomes infectious. Spread it all around you(It's allowed). That's what we the purplenigmers are all about.
Whatsoever you find doing,  do it well. Don't grumble,  don't murmur,  don't hate(it's poisonous). Just be happy and forever grateful for each moment.
Let every work of obligation be an act of inspiration.
You are God's ideal, His Masterpiece,  His work of art, a peculiar personality,  a royal priesthood... Need i say more?
You are made perfect even in your imperfections by a perfect God,  who  has loved  us with an everlasting love. So just keep smiling and keep shining!
#purplenigmers #positiveworld #positivechange #positivevibes #errythingpositive 💪💪👌🌼🙌
