Anxiety

Hello There Precious friends and readers

I believe you are off to a great start this school year and am as usual always thankful to be a part of your journey. Once again checking in to see where you are at and offer a bit of guidelines for safe landing as you hit the ground running.

A lot of times we become anxious when we feel overwhelmed with stuff.  And I am afraid to say that going back to school after a long break has the ability to interrupt your flow with the feeling of anxiety. Not knowing what to expect in the next stage, the workload and if you will manage to stay on top and make those grades without breaking a sweat and the likes of those. Here is my take on all of that, it always pays to view your life as a whole and every part you deal with as an integral part. Remember whole numbers and integers from Maths class, right?

Now plan every area of your life to fit into the whole. i.e. you are not going to try to create and balance all the different areas of your life. What you would be doing is selling yourself short. Rather have a timetable with specific times allocated to different things you do on specific days over the week, seven days and that include your Me moments. Example you can decide on what subjects you revise and for how long depending on what time you come back from school. So if on your school timetable on Monday for instance you have Geography and History these subjects should be on your weekend revision timetable which I suggest you schedule in the mornings rather than in the evening. However, by all means use your best judgements to draw your timetable there is no one size fits all here. As a young person believable you should be engaged in at least one sport to keep you active, concentrating and fit as you need that to build endurance.

Last but not the least invest in your spiritual growth too because your spirit is the real you and your soul the expression zone of your life and the more you live from within out the better your success rate. Visit our spiritual development section to acquaint yourself with how to develop your spirit man. As usual keep visiting 123mentorme site and Paragon school for more.

Need I say it, I am proud of all your achievements and can't wait to see you out do yourself this time round.

Happy back to school days.

Turn It Up

Hey Guys,

I like to game, play sports and mostly just laze around. My favourite games are Overwatch and League of legends. I'm kinda of an anime fan but I don't watch it as much anymore:).One last thing I want to talk to you guys about is my age, I'm 13, turning 14 on January 21st. These blogs will be about what I'm going through in life so far, and to let you know our experiences in life are almost similar but its just how you deal with whatever you go through. 

We are in the summer holidays and its been a very good time for me. I get to relax, watch Netflix, game and spend time with friends and family. I went to a youth camp with my church called New Day!https://newdaygeneration.org/ That was one of my highlights of the summer break. Its nearing the end of the summer holidays and I am sadly preparing to go back to school. I'm entering year 9 and before that I'm trying to have as much fun as I can. Lesson for this blog is to live life to the fullest.

We recommend visiting 123mentorme on our website www.ruachdiorint.com and check out Brand Me Summer workshop, a good place to pick up some tips as you prepare for the long stretch ahead.

Hi there Young Minds,


I know you are enjoying your holidays and I have no intention of interfering with your leisure time. This is just checking on you to ensure this summer break becomes one of the memorable ones (in a good way) going down in your books of history.


So, what are you giving the two most important resource; time and energy to?, Constantly at the ‘beck and call of it’; constantly on your mind;giving your time to and investing your energy into?


Whatever or whoever you have made yourself available to, is it or are they adding value to you or rather draining you of what you already have?


There is so much to do in this time and I will not be the one to tell you what to do and when to do it because I respect your ability to prioritise and use your time wisely.
I know you know by now that anything you give your time to and invest your energy into, you are giving your life to it.


So the next time you check yourself into doing anything whether on your own accord or with a friend just do the Maths with these two in mind:
  1. how much resource of your strength you are investing and
  2. what the returns would be.


Calculate in your mind:”this is my time and energy, my life to be exact that I am investing or going to invest into this, is it worth it?” to see how much more worth you are going to come off with engaging in that sort of thing or with that somebody.


If it's not worth your time and energy, then, you know what to do, declare yourself UNAVAILABLE.


Till we catch up again, enjoy the sunshine and if there is no sunshine where you are, wear yellow to brighten your environment. Cheesy! I know but I am trusting you to be the excellent leader I know you are.


Talk to you soon
R.

Pursue


Hello There Young Minds,

Congratulations for making it through all those exams, assessments and project work. Phew! you made it through. Now it's time to take it easy relax and still forge ahead not fall back. I know, it sucks but yeah if you going to get ahead you need to plan and part of the planning includes what you are going to do to make you feel completely relaxed, be present with yourself and enjoy your holidays. My point, whip up a game plan for your holidays. For my friends in the States and the rest of the world who have been on holidays weeks ahead of the Britons, it's still not too late to come up with a game plan. In fact, for you right now, it is just right because you have spent some time lazing about ok and am sure you are almost about to have had enough of sleeping and waking up late and waiting around till the day is over and going on in that cycle. This is time that you can invest in learning something new of interest to you.
 
Expand your knowledge.

Decisions are important and you can bet you are on the right track when you have enough reliable information to work with. So what do you say?
People have had dreams for their lives that never saw the day of light. Why and how? Nurturing dreams can be difficult if you don’t have the necessary support to take your dream to the next level. Who is in your network and close to you, is very crucial at this stage of your life. Are they people who look beyond their circumstance like you do and yet understand exactly what it would take to change their present situation into what they dream of? Am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the kind of friends you keep will either draw you back or encourage you to go forward because they also have a need to see a certain level of productivity in their lives and are not willing to allow societal changes make decisions concerning their destiny. So they start preparing to launch into their destination by building a solid bridge to cross over. Are you waiting for the destination you dream of to be handed to you or you are going to position yourself to take it? Well this is the time to go to work.
 
Visit the paragon school and take advantage of the Dream program and solidify your foundation of cultivating principles to nurture your dreams.  Alternatively, you can join the Brand Me Summer workshop. Let those who want to play, play, but as for you make use of your time.
Happy Summer holidays.
Ruach.

Dream Come True

 
Hello to you friends and precious readers,
 
I have been dreaming of this day and here it is! A lovely day and an honour to meet all you precious young minds. If there is one thing to be treasured, it is for some of you teenagers-young people these first stages and for those of you who have just finished your ordinary level education and above-young adults, the advance stage of the structural years of your life. I say structural because this is the time you begin to put some real work into developing every area of your life. I know it's also the time that we get most of our break or make it moments and that is why I am getting in touch to help you to slide or glide smoothly as you grow.
Life is worth living when you take the hum-drum out of it and maintain clarity of what you are doing with your life. I’m sure you have heard the saying: “there is no pain without gain.” But some pains are useless and avoidable. That is why we are here to be your additional pair of eyes and ears to help you get where you are going soundly with no intimidation nor being victimised by circumstances— enjoying life as a young mind.  


Oh and I just thought I mention, greatness is already inside of you. In fact you are a great person and humanity is privileged you are born in this generation to contribute your gifts, talents and skill. Now it’s time to do you.


Happy meeting you. Speak soon
Ruach.

Happy New Year!!

Greetings to you all my friends and precious readers.

The New Year is here and I intend to achieve more this year with the intention to improve myself and to reach out to others as  the journey of the new year unfolds. 

India's famous political leader Ghandi, went on a hunger strike; paying the price for change beneficial, not only to himself but to his family, community, institutions and the rights of  his people forever  and he said this, 

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Ghandi

 In other words what he was saying was; what you are praying for to happen-'wish for' get up and initiate that change. His actions were in direct correlation to his passion and what he believed. His courage acknowledged by the world at large today. Such is the example of unwavering faith in one's vision.  To wish for something is saying my highest prayer is for this thing to happen.

What are you wishing for to happen for you this year?

This year I have decided not to live for my passion but to die for my passion because it is the reason why I exist in the first place. And it is the Creator's heart cry too that children will not be stopped from connecting to source for clarifications because that is where the authority of their power is.  

 "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. (Luke 18:16 NLT)

I just want you to know and understand that who you are is the Image and likeness of your Creator. Which makes you successful already if you choose to see it that way. That is irrespective of whether you want a relationship with God or not. Knowing this truth be reminded to go out there with the mind set of a lion to conquer anything that comes your way. The strength and sharpness of the sight of an eagle to reach for higher heights in whatever it is that you will be doing: whether at home, school, in the community, at your workplace or business; be the best of you.  Exercise your intelligence in a way that benefits you and all around you. Invest in yourself and lastly be ready to serve at all times and live in sober obedience to the authority over your life.  And while you are at that don't forget to pick up your visa for the marvellous Kingdom from which you were once a citizen, if you haven't done that already; accepting Jesus as your Saviour. Your passport has already been arranged all you need to access the Kingdom is your visa - Jesus; to get your rulership as a kingdom citizen back.  I think it is always  best to make a choice and a sound judgment of your choice with an awareness of the big picture. After all reconnecting to your source of existence is a choice and not an obligation... 

To a life of infinite bliss.

Merry Christmas

Image result for Christmas

Merry Christmas to  all of you my precious readers and friends.


I know its been a while since I last got in touch.  I was going through some transitioning period with my health and I have to admit it was an up and down moments for me.  In the end I made it through and here we are.  I am blessed to be here today and believe that we have all made it through all that we had to go through this year till now for a purpose.  A sure indication that it is not over for us yet.  In fact, we are just beginning to ride the storms to success, no matter what happens on our way up.

I can't thank you all enough for being there for me. Visiting the page, reading and keeping me inspired to do more.  I have said it before and would repeat it again you all are my heroes and heroines.  In that I know you are all braving the storm as they come and pushing forward with everything that is necessary for you to do to make an impact wherever you are and I am privileged to be a part of this awesome life unfolding for you.  No matter how small your contribution to humanity may seem.  I want you to know that you brightening the corner where you are is lifting another up.

Destiny as you see it, is actually connected.  Am saying we are connected to each other one way or the other.  And at the point where you need to move on to another stage in your life, there is always the possibility that you moving or not moving ahead is and would affect someone else's move.  It's just that we don't know exactly who we are affecting.  Sometimes we do know because the people we affect are in close proximity to us.  Having said that, often we don't know and only time will tell the people we influenced with our lives or failed to because we were afraid or lost touch of what we really believe in and so couldn't do what we were suppose to do at a certain point in time.

It's Christmas!  However, Christmas celebration is just that day.  So don't lose your mojo while you are in the holiday mood.  Put pen to paper and begin to plan for next year what it is that you will be doing.  Don't wait for the first of January to come and find you without a plan.  Get in there and do some reality checks of all your achievements in 2016 and identify where you can improve and start making some notes.  Do the same with the areas where you missed the mark and see how you can alter your strategy for a better result.  Like I always say there is a solution for everything.  If you look for it and you are ready it would gravitate towards you.  There is a saying which says "if the student is ready the teacher would show up" and I must say it has proven to be a true saying for me.  Anytime I decide on something I want to do, every turn I make points me in the direction of how to get my decision done.  It is as if someone is working it out for me and providing me with the answers until I finally have what am looking for in my hands.

So, enjoy your Christmas and may the Christ of this celebration actually come upon you and be revealed to you in a way that you have never experienced before.  For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Merry! Merry! Christmas to you all. Lots of love from me to you and all your families.
