BE Hope- full

Hope is one subject that cannot be over emphasized in our world today. The subject of hope is gradually eroding the minds of the people because of the changing world and how impossible it is for many to access the basic life supplies. We are in the era where in quick successions challenges engulf many people and they get stuck or are slowed down in life because they have no clue on how to tackle the problems. Just about the time you think you are done with solving one problem, another shows up. That is why you must devise a means to stay afloat and always be in charge. This can be done when you plan with problems in mind. This is not you being faithless or pessimistic rather this is you stepping back to assess possible problems and obstacles and corresponding solutions as you progress in life. This is you doing your part to be resolute on not giving in and allowing God do His part. It is also you being fully aware that you need to put up a fight to get to your destination. As we journey through life, we don't just stay hope-full but we are also saddled with the responsibility of giving hope to people around us and to the next generation.




You must learn to rest in hope, knowing that God can change things in your favour.

 Acts 2:26 ' I'm glad from the inside out, ecstatic; l've pitched my tent in the land of hope'.MSB

The above scripture reveals that David had a place of solace and that was the promise of God that never fails, this was his 'Land of Hope'. 

Do you have a land of Hope? While you wait for the next supplies or for the next breakthrough, what do you do?

The Psalmist in Psalm 31:24 says ' Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD'.

HOPE is the lifeline God is extending to you, while you wait for His visitation. 

For the purpose of expressing this message with clarity, l came up the the HOPE acronym below:

H - HIGH: Stay high in SPIRIT  no matter what you are going through

O - OPEN - Stay open to opportunities so you don't prolong your wilderness experience

P - PEACE - Be Peace-full while waiting, so you don't burn out or stress out.

E - ELIMINATE - Eliminate all set backs that will cancel out the reward of  Hope.

This could be a very challenging season, but your HOPE will cushion the effect on you and on the people around you, if you decide to be HOPE-FULL and extend HOPE wherever you find yourself. 

God will come true where your strength fails. You are divinely scheduled for a mind blowing turnaround, if you won't quit too soon.

Spread the message of Hope. 

Shalom!

The Iceberg Model: A Systems Thinking Tool

-
Hello my Trendsetting Teens, Today, we want to use this model to explain Systems Thinking as a tool to solve problems and receive desired outcomes. Imagine an iceberg, where: Above the waterline (Visible): Events : The tip of the iceberg, representing individual incidents or symptoms (e.g., a conflict, a problem, or an issue). Below the waterline (Hidden): Patterns : The layer beneath events, revealing recurring themes, cycles, or relationships (e.g., communication breakdowns, power struggles). Structures : The underlying framework, including rules, roles, and processes that shape the system (e.g., organizational design, social norms). Mental Models : The deepest layer, comprising assumptions, beliefs, and values that influence our perceptions and actions (e.g., biases, worldviews). Systems Thinking Connection: Events are symptoms of underlying patterns, structures, and mental models. Addressing only events (the tip) won't solve the problem; we must explore and understand the hidde

DON'T DWELL, POUNCE

 Hi Friend, It is almost getting to the end of a season called 2023 and many are currently taking stock of how the year went. For some, they had many wins, they celebrated, while others, are in a state of gloominess over too many losses they think they recorded. I am sorry to hear that you didn't close the deal, buy the house, get to make the changes and change the trajectory of your life within the time frame you set for yourself but have you ever stop to think that it is not over until it is over? They could be many reasons why it didn't work as planned and you have two options to consider; 1. To either look into the origin of the issue so you can resolve it, learn from it so you can proceed with caution, and instruct others  2. Alternatively, you can choose to reside in a temporary dwelling of self-pity and indulge in sorrow over your losses.  Having a RESPONSE ready is essential for handling life's inevitable challenges. 'But how can I do that?' I can hear you s
