Finding another person to blame for one's problem is as old as human history. Adam blamed Eve for eating the apple. Eve blamed the serpent for deceiving her. The serpent blamed God for planting the apple tree in the garden. God broke the blame circle when he accepted his responsibility for his creation. What can human being learn from this?

Failure, what failure
Failure and success are two sides of the same coin. The nature of man is to perceive life and living in duality. We invented names to fit that which we do not totally understand. We label things in part to reflect our limited knowledge of the whole. In God, there is no duality, no division, no opposition and no competition. Because God is good, everything he created is good. For example, in the book of Genesis, after each creation, and before he proceeds to create the next, God would stop to see that what he had created “was good.”
God never created anything that failed to function in the way he had intended. So where did man get the label from? We gave ourselves the label the moment we separated our nature from the nature of God. Our separation from God brought us into direct opposition with everything that is good. Opposition leads to competition. A beautiful woman is on competition with an ugly woman. A handsome man is in competition with an ugly man. Black is in the opposite of white. Light is against darkness. We think of success in terms of a university degree because the other person can only manage to have a diploma. You think of your short status because you have a few tall people around you. The list is endless.
The truth is that the way we define failure is our failure. In God, there is no failure but perfection. Failure is a human invention meant to define the extent of our separation from God. It sets the limit of what we can do, what we can be and what we can have. To live our lives in the way God had intended for us, we must begin to redefine our understanding of failure. Each time you think of failure, think of the extent of your separation from God’s plan for your life.

Saying the word
“And God said, 'Let there be light; and there was light.'' Genesis 1:3. Here, God demonstrated the power of word to bring about any change we want in life. Remember that God has the ability to create the light without having to say a single word. What then is the significance of saying the word?
His word was his command. God has given everyone of us the ability to command anything we want into our lives. We use the power when we say the word associated with what we want. That is what I think Dr Wayne Dyer described as the Power of Intention. Saying the word generates the energy. The energy directs the forces of nature to align with our being.
The alignment creates everything and everyone we need and bring them into our lives in order to make the change happen. However, the word we use in the command can be either positive or negative. What word are you using to command what you want into your life?

The Reality of God
I believe that living a Value-life-balance lifestyle is to know, understand and recognise the nature of God and His truth in everything and actively seek, through prayer, meditation and charity, to live life on a daily basis according to His reality.

Use of power
On the senselessness of exercising undue power over others, one of my favourite Igbo proverbs has this to say, “The Igwe can choose the site of the market, but he cannot choose who sells in the market.”

Living in the present.
Living your life in the past is an obstacle to living it in the present. The present is all you have. Tomorrow is not yours. If you live to see it, your creative inexhaustible originating Source is there to supply all your needs. When you live your life in the present, you begin to let go of blaming the people in your past life who you think were responsible for creating your present. Because you keep thinking and living in the past, it is impossible for you to see any opportunity that comes your way in the present. When you live in the past, your physical body is in the present, but your mind is in the past. Living your body in the present with your mind in the past is like a house that is divided against itself. How can it survive? Learn to live your life in the present.
