The Complete Definition of Love

If you have anything holding you to love someone, I need to tell you, that's not love. Nothing except love lasts forever!

By the time that thing goes off, the love will also fade away.

No one can ever explain real love!

Most people love because of:
*Money
*Beauty
*security/protection
*Intelligence
*Companionship etc

What ignited that love can vanish into the thin air...

But real love has no explanation and it's unconditional...it begins where nothing is expected in return.

"I love you because I love you, I cannot explain why."

I think, this is the complete expression of love.

David Mark: An exceptional conflict manager By Obafemi Tunji- ABUJA

How well do you manage conflicts whenever they come? Have you ever been curious about managing conflicts well? Let me rather ask you whether you have ever met a man who manages conflicts well, such a man is a man-real man!!!

This article may be unusual here as Socialetherapy Blog is bent on giving you articles that can change your life! Well, the idea I have for giving you this in not unconnected to that. Your social welfare is my concern.

So then, after reading the article, you should have been transformed socially. Happy reading...

The President of the Senate Senator David
Mark is emphatically an uncommon
statesman. Hate him or love him. It does not
diminish the incontrovertible fact that
Senator Mark has consistently stood out to
be counted when it matters in nation
building.

Even as a younger officer in the NIGERIAN
Army he was assigned a Herculean and an
unenviable task to settle NIGERIANS in Port
Harcourt now Rivers state in what was
dubbed abandoned properties saga after the
30 months old fratricidal civil war . To the
admiration of his superior officers and
indeed the nation, then Major Mark did an
excellent assignment and helped to
implement the Head of State General Yakubu
GOWON " No Victor, No Vanquished" as well
as the eventual Reconstruction, Resettlement
and Reconciliation (three Rs) between the
Biafrans and the rest of NIGERIANS.

As the then Military Governor of old Niger
state in the 80s, Senator Mark introduced
free and compulsory education for the girl-
child that was hitherto restricted from
acquiring education. Today Niger state ranks
among the states with the highest number of
girls in schools. All credit to Mark's initiative.
As a former Communications Minister he
revolutionized telecommunication from
analogue to digital network. He improved the
lots in the communications sector to the
extent that NITEL which heavily relied on
government subventions to survive became
buoyant and self sustaining.

It is instructive to note that Mark saw
tomorrow in telecommunications when he
insisted that NITEL should not be milked to
death by beneficiaries of its services refusing
to pay bills and propounded that " if you own a
telephone line , be prepared to pay for
services. " Today , what Mark proposed for
which he was vilified by not a few NIGERIANS
is what is operating with the emergence of
the Global Service for Mobile
Telecommunications (GSM). Today ,
Nigerians are happy buying air time on their
phones and enjoys the services no matter
how costly.

Let us not forget the point of this discuss that
Senator Mark has unarguably proven to be a
man of all seasons. He invoked the theory of
Doctrine of Necessity to save NIGERIA from
the precipice. Under him as President of the
Senate, he midwifed the passage of the
freedom of information bill into law so that
all Nigerians and not just media practitioners
to have unfettered access to information. He
also rose to the occasion when the Western
world attempted to foist an alien culture of
same sex Marraige into our culture and
tradition. Mark and his colleagues remain
steadfast and refused to compromise to the
bully of the western culture.

In presiding over the business of the Senate,
he has demonstrated uncommon leadership
acumen . Even his foes admires him. He is
fair, firm and just to all irrespective of
political party affiliation.

Last week , his mastery of legislative practice
and procedure came to the fore during the
screening and confirmation of Ministerial
nominees. The rival , All Progressive Congress
(APC) Senators had risen in strong opposition
to the screening and confirmation of Senator
Musliu Obanikoro from Lagos State on the
premise that he is a defendant in a case in
court over his alleged involvement in last
Gubernatorial election in Ekiti state. Their
argument was that Obanikoro should not be
considered or confirmed as a minister of the
Federal Republic since the case is still in
court.

But they met a stone wall because Senator
Mark is a stickler to the rules and procedures
of the Senate. There is a precedent in the
Senate to wit: that a Senator or a Member of
the House of Representatives nominated for
a ministerial position should not pass the crucibles of questions and answers because in the wisdom of the
upper legislative chamber, any person having
gone through the mill of legislative scrutiny
is not just qualified but a fit and proper
person .

That was the case of Obanikoro. Even if he
has a matter in court , our law presumes him
innocent until a court of competent
jurisdiction proves him guilty. Therefore , he
cannot be denied his rights and privileges not
just as a former Senator but a citizen of
NIGERIA.

This was the position upheld by Senator Mark
after the majority of Senators had given their
nod for Obanikoro to be cleared as fit and
proper person to be a minister of the federal
republic.

So whether the APC agrees to this proceeding
in this context is immaterial because this is
right thing that should be done and the
Senate indeed complied with its rules and
procedures.

We must not on account of party loyalty lose
sight of national interest and cohesion. What
makes for the good, peace, welfare and unity
of NIGERIA should and must always be the
watch word of the Senate. Again, Senator
Mark displayed uncommon maturity, sagacity
and statesmanship in presiding over the
ministerial screening.

ABUJA.

Your Mindset is Everything

This is a guest post from KP Media Network

My best quote used to be: 'My best friend is one who understands by past; believes in my future; and accepts me just the way I am now' But now I realized that success has many friends, whereas, no one wants to be associated with a failure. When you are successful you will have many friends, loyalists, even mentees. What attracts them is your visible greatness, not your dreams and your aspirations.

However, without dreams and aspirations, I think one can only succeed by luck. I believe you are aware that greatness is not inborn, it is a result of grim determination towards achieving your dreams. But the greatness has one enemy – Mindset.

Failure cannot happen in your life without your permission. That you failed so many times does not make you a failure, it is just a path to your greatness. Thomas Edison failed to build a working light bulb 1000times before creating a successful one. Also, Abraham Lincoln failed in election many times before he contested and became the 16th president of America.

Albert Einstein once said, 'anyone who has never made a mistake (failed) has never tried anything new'. I strongly believe that making mistake is not a sin, but not correcting them is foolishness. The book of Micah in the Bible says, 'Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise…

Never give up on your goals, remember to always try again. You are not a loser until you accept defeat. Greatness or failure is all about your thought. You are what you think.

Socialetherapy: Top Seven Secrets To Living a Happy Life

Life's a race! And as we run this race, there are times we become fed up with life and we almost get to conclude that life's bitter and we can no longer move on, by this time, we have taken the next step to giving up on ourselves.

We live in a society where things are not all right. A life of continual struggle and feeling of unfulfilled life always puts us in a situation of dejection and deprivation, but here today I come with good news for you!

I'll be discussing Top seven Secrets to Living a Happy Life!!! This is our major mindset of all of us in Socialetherapy Blog.

Below are the top seven secrets...

1. Laugh and smile. Laughter and smiles are scientifically proven to have health benefits. Don't just wait around for things that will make you laugh and smile, seek them out. Smile as often as you can, even if you're not in the mood. Nothing works better like a good mood. Try as much as possible to put elegant smiles all the time.

2. Never stop learning. Learning is a continuous process. The day you stop learning is the day you cease to live. Even if you're done with formal schooling and training you don't have to hang up and call it a day. Keep pushing yourself to learn new things, whether it's a skill like trying out new sport or a musical instrument, this will put in a situation of constant living with a purpose.

3. Keep your legacy in mind. Purposeful living is an ideal thing we all need to do. A purposeless life is a life of doom, waking up each day and not knowing what you're living for, this condition itself brings pain and emotional trauma. Leaving a legacy is something we all do, it just depends on the size and scale of it. What will yours be? What do you want it to be? Take a long view of your life as a whole and decide on steps today that will help get you there.

4. Stamp out regrets. There's no point in regretting things that have already happened, you were just doing the best you could with the information you had at the time. Make it your mission to live in the present and live in a way that leaves you regret-free.

5. Get a clear vision of what you want. In order to have a full and happy life you have to know what you want. How else will you know if you have it unless you know what it looks like. Keep that picture in your mind as often as you can and it will be drawn to you like a magnet.

6. Always have a goal to strive for. The one thing they don't tell you in goal books is what to do when you reach that goal. The answer is to come up with a new goal and start going for that. Don't rest on your laurels, broaden your horizon and never get satisfied on present oars. Get out there and go for something even bigger than what you've already accomplished! Did you get that?

7. Above all, get defined. Self definition is an all important adventure. In defining yourself, you have to be positive about and let your definition be based on what your purpose of being alive is. This is why I have stressed above that everyone has to live a life of purpose.

We have outlined above the seven top secrets to living a successful and happy life.

The Degenerating Society versus the Proliferation of Churches in the World

Introduction:
We've heard from time immemorial that "Change" is constant. That is, it will continue to occur so long as there is life.

Question:
Should church also be changing its style perhaps to fit into the changing times?

Why is this up?
Church is not just the building; it is the people in it, agreed! The world is not just the universe; but the people in it, agreed too.

Now the world is changing, most ways of life of people have overtime experienced change, this has often been cited to be the best as compared to the ones of old.

These are the people who make up the church, is there any possibility then, to have a changing world and not to have a changing church? The answer is outrightly NO! The church must change too.

But then, the church can still be firm on the principles of Holiness. I think, where the problem comes in is when the church becomes too permissive to the point of becoming worldly and the people on their part become so churchy, comparatively, these two waring parties can never be compatible. Never!

The way forward:
The church should be a place where Holiness thrives and people know the truth that saves and live by it. The church too should not be permissive to some extent; such are the areas of:
Marriage
Business
Inter-personal relationships
Modernity
Bible principles
Examination and
General/universal principles of life and living.
You should know of other areas your church should not be permissive. Please tell us in the comments.

If these areas are given adequate checks, the church will turn out to become a better place to live.

The church then will proliferate and the world will no longer degenerate! Oh how I want a world with people who are not just religious but pious!
More closely:
Now between you and God, how do you relate with Him? Or how is your relationship with Him? God is not bothered about how you relate with your world, but He is BOTHERED about how you allow the world to influence you, whether positive or negative!

What's this article all about?
Socialetherapy is concerned and burdened with ensuring a consistent life that is geared towards living a more purposeful in a degenerating world.
