Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 19/10/2020  Text: Psalms 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. I woke up this morning with a word ringing in my heart: "The Lord is merciful and gracious to those who love Him".  I then searched through scriptures and found the anchor text above which further reveals the extent of God's mercy and grace towards mankind.  It reminds me of the lyrics of the song "You amaze me" by Vicki Yohe: Your presence amazes me, Your glory surrounds me When I walked in this room I felt Your arms hands upon me To think how great You are, still You would touch someone like me It's Your mercy and grace, You amaze me. The mercy and grace of God towards us is something we can never fully understand, but we can be thankful every day that our God is merciful and gracious towards us.  Just say a word of thanks to Him this morning for His unending mercy and Grace upon your life.  Have a graced day... #SpiritBreakfast™ #M...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 9/10/2020  Text: Acts of the Apostles 1:8 (New Living Translation) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” There is no spiritual power without the presence of the Holy Spirit. Until the Holy Spirit resides within a man, such a person is far from experiencing and manifesting spiritual power.  The level of fellowship and intimacy with the Holy Spirit determines the level of spiritual power manifested.  The kingdom of God in these last days will only be forceful enough to overcome the world through the power supplied by the Holy Spirit upon the lives of believers.  Spiritual power is necessary for global takeover and Jesus knew this which is why He instructed the disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit's baptism. The relevance of any believers in these last days is a function of spiritual p...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 8/10/2020  Text: Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?  Spiritual power is fluid. It flows from one point to another. It ebbs from one level to another.  Spiritual power is never stagnant. It is either flowing out of a man or flowing out. And it only flows towards the place of need.  Spiritual power is supplied based on the demand. This demand is enforced through prayer and faith. Jesus was a man full of power which he received based on his constant demand in the place of prayer. When a need came based on a need that was enforced through faith by the woman with the issue of blood, power had to flow in that direction. God's power is still capable of doing great things even today. It can flow into you and even from you to others.  You can enforce the spiritual power through prayers and faith. You can draw forth God's power out of an ...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 11/9/2020  Text: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. An eagle has 340 degrees field of vision and does not suffer from any refractive error. Hence, we can say it has a broad and wide perspective. Perspective can be defined as a particular way of considering something. It can also be said to be the point of view of a person regarding an issue.  Having a flexible and wide perspective allows you to see opportunities around you. Not in every occasion will your idea be the best.  A change in perspective towards a problem can instantly bring about the solution you've been looking for. If you are fixated on a particular point of view, there is a high possibility you will remain stuck with a particular problem. Many large business that seem to be stuck at a particular level hire consultants. The primary reason for this is to help them look at the issue with a fresh pair of eyes and from another...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 10/9/2020  Text: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. The problem of many in terms of goal achievement is reduced focus as they get closer to their goals. Many often take their eyes of the ball as they get closer. One of the reasons is because they think they've already attained their goals because of their proximity to the target. And every true athlete knows that what happens at the last lap of the race is the most crucial.  A good percentage of people on the planet when they set goals begin with all focus and intensity. But as they continue, focus wanes as a result of the challenges. An eagle sees its target from afar and approaches it with an initial focus but as it gets closer, its eye muscles continue to adjust focus on its target until it catches it.  Focus ensures that a plan is seen to the end. Vision gets you started but focus keeps you on course.  Paul the Apostle said in...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 9/9/2020  Text: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. There are three types of sight: Hindsight, insight, and foresight.  Hindsight deals with being able learn to wisdom based on issues that occurred in the past. Insight deals with having practical wisdom that can be applied for a current situation.  Foresight is being able to plan and apply wisdom for events that are yet to occur. Foresight is a function of vision.  What gives God the ultimate edge over all of creation is foresight. God sees the end from the beginning and knows how to apply wisdom to suit all His good purposes.  An eagle has foresight and this allows it to plan its attack even before it takes off or dives at it's prey.  Foresight is an attribute that gives one a higher success rate.  Men with foresight plan ahead, the trends don't catch them unaware. If you are always surprised at how things happen to...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 8/9/2020  Text: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. We believe in an Eternal Self-existing Creator who made all that's seen and unseen. This Being fashioned the tiny micro-organisms that can only be seen with powerful electronic microscopes to the extremely large blue whale that inhabits the oceans.  The One we call God is also responsible for creating and making the eagle the way it is. The powerful eyesight (vision) of the eagle is a gift of God to this amazing creature.  This gives us the first understanding of vision: It is always God-given. True vision always originate from God. Ambition differs from vision in the sense that ambition is man-driven.  While believers in Jesus Christ have the best opportunity to access God-given visions, it is possible for unbelievers to receive God-given visions.  Pharoah and Nebuchadnezzar who were ungodly Kings still received visions from...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 7/9/2020  Text: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. There is no way we can talk about the eagle without talking about its vision. The eagle has the best eyesight of all creatures on planet Earth.   It is not even a contest when compared to the eyesight of humans. Any of the 59 species of eagle on the planet will put a human's eyesight to shame.  An eagle can see about 4 to 8 times better than a human being. It can locate a rabbit or any small creature 2 miles away while flying at a distance of 650km above the ground.  Eagles do not generally suffer from  refractive error which include near-sightedness, far-sightedness, etc. and an adult eagle can clearly see fish in a river.  While moving towards it's prey, the muscles in the eye will continue to adjust its focus naturally. Therefore, the distance between it and the prey doesn't change the focus at any time.  An...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 4/9/2020  Text: Job 9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. Apart from the text above, other verses in the Bible references the eagle as a swift creature. The bald eagle is known to fly at speeds of 120 to 160km per hour.  To be swift means to be fast, quick and capable of moving at high speed. The eagle is swift as it hastens to its prey. This means there is a target which the eagle has in mind. The target is obtained as a result of waiting as we said yesterday.  While we are encouraged to make haste in life, haste without direction or a target is a waste. Many people are swift in their going out and coming in without any specific target in mind.  A mad man is one who wanders aimlessly without a particular destination. Sadly, many sane people still behave in this manner.  If you ask them what their goals are they cannot accurately define and articulate it. God will not grant swiftness to such ind...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞 3/9/2020  Text: Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. "The vulture is a patient bird" is the title of a James Hadley Chase novel originally published in 1969. The phrase was also used by a group of occultic ritualists as a mantra in a Nollywood movie in the 90s.  Patience is a virtue readily associated with the vulture. But most people do not consider this to be an attribute of an eagle.  However, patience is an attribute shared by these two large birds although the vulture is the more patient one. The eagle is a patient bird. This is seen in the eagle's ability to stay still at a top spot while its eyes searches to and fro for its next prey.  An eagle will not just launch out or make a dive without a target. Even when it is in the sky, the eagle will maintain a gliding position for a long time until i...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 2/9/2020  Text: Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. The vitality of the eagle is legendary. Psalms 103:5 likens youthfulness to the life of an eagle. " Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." These majestic creatures can live for up to 30 years and a little bit above that. Yet, they live a life full of vitality.  Once eagles reach the age of hunting after 12 weeks (maximum) of birth, they continue flying and hunting till death.  This vitality even at such an old age borders on the supernatural. Most creatures lose their vitality, strength and speed as they grow older but not eagles.  Isaiah 40:30 says " Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:" This speaks of natural youthfulness that is a characteristic o...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 1/9/2020  Text: Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Continued from yesterday ... Contrary to a popular myth, eagles do not go up to a mountain top to pull off their feathers. They don't break off their talons and beaks either. This article debunks that myth.  Instead, eagles naturally lose their feathers through a molting process at least once a year. The old feathers fall off naturally and are replaced by new ones.  This is a renewal process. To renew simply means to make new again. What is old is made new again.  Isaiah 40:31 says that those who wait on God shall renew their strength. The strength of the eagle is in its wings (feathers). The wings are responsible for causing it to soar above 10,000 feet in the air.  For anyone to renew their strength, it takes waiting on God. Job said "...a...

For the past few weeks, we've studied and learnt wisdom from 4 little creatures. Starting from tomorrow, we will turn our attention to not so small creatures with the Eagle being the first of many.What wisdom can the eagle teach us? We will begin to find out from tomorrow. I pray for you that the end of this month marks the end of negativity in your life. God will give you complete victory over the challenges that have terrified you for so long.  God bless you... #SpiritBreakfast™ #MiracleMonday™ #PastorMuve™ #power #ants #wisdom #life #animals #creatures #simplicity #basics #God #eagle

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 29/8/2020 Text: Proverbs 30:28 (New Living Translation) Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. Continued from yesterday ...    Have you ever caught a lizard by its tail? If you have you would have discovered that the lizard's tail immediately comes off. This happens not because you pulled too hard on the tail or  held it too tight.    Rather, it is a self-defense mechanism known as autotomy. The lizard is willing to let go of its appendage for the sole purpose of self-preservation. The amazing thing is that most lizards are capable of regrowing their tail. While we humans cannot severe any of our appendages and regrow them later, there is a valuable lesson to be learnt here. This is the lesson of separation or as Jesus put it "cut off".  "And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole b...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 28/8/2020 Text: Proverbs 30:28 (New Living Translation) Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. Continued from yesterday ...   Discreet: careful not to cause embarrassment or attract too much attention, especially by keeping something secret:(Source: Cambridge English Dictionary ) Lizards can be discreet when they want to be. This is why they can live in your house without your knowledge.  This is a major lesson we need to learn especially in the era where everything must be posted on shared on different social media platforms. No be everything you go dey loud.   We should learn how to keep certain things private especially when they are still in the formation stage. Not all achievements should be made public. Not everyone who likes or congratulates the success you post or share are truly happy with you. Even certain folks you think are close may not want the progress of that goal. In 1 Thessalonians 4:11, the Apost...

  Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 27/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:28 (New Living Translation) Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. Continued from yesterday ...   Lizards are capable of moving through walls despite the challenges of navigating through wall cracks and creaks in order to get to different locations. If they need to pass through a tiny space, Lizards can make their bodies very flat so that they can pass through. An indication that you would achieve your visions, dreams, and goals is your ability to navigate through challenges, obstacles, hindrances, and roadblocks.  A vision is a picture of a preferred future, but before that future is reached there are the present negative situations you must deal with.   It is not enough to have vision, you must also have a mapped out plan and strategy to help you achieve such visions. You must be able to envisage obstacles and challenges ahead and put them into consideration while you pl...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 26/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:28 (New Living Translation) Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. Continued from yesterday ... Affirmation is a good thing however, it shouldn't be sought at all costs. Asking for permission is ethical, but not in all situations.  Lizards don't bother with any of the above. They don't seek to be affirmed because they know they won't get it. Neither do they seek your permission to live in your house.  Many have mortgaged their success and future at the place of seeking affirmation and permission for their God-given purposes and visions.  If a lizard was always to wait for affirmation or permission, it will never have a place in your house. If God has given you a vision, understand that there will be oppositions. Even those whom you feel should affirm what you are doing might turn out as challenges to that vision. The true permission you need to achieve your God-given vision is God'...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 25/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:28 (New Living Translation) Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. Continued from yesterday ... Let's turn our attention to lizards... Lizards are not creatures most folks will go "awww" over. Instead, many will likely try to kill them (for those who have the courage that is).  Despite being despised, these creatures are the typical "I no send" in Nigerian pidgin parlance.  They don't mind what you think about them. They don't bother if you want to kill them. As far as they want to stay in your house, they will do so.  They are capable of squeezing themelves through cracks and holes in the walls. They are experts in navigation which allows them to move from point A to point B within the walls.  Lizards can be discreet and might live in your house without your knowledge.  And lastly, if you manage to get hold of a lizard by the tail, it will let go of that tail to facili...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 24/8/2020  Proverbs 30:28 (King James Version) The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. A spider's web is intentionally designed. It isn't just happenstance or clumsy work. The web pattern is made in such detail that it suits the purpose the web is intended to achieve.  The difference between what you are doing, and what another person who is doing the same thing is the manner in which it is done.  Spiders pay attention to detail when spinning their webs. Attention to detail matters when we do our business. What is overlooked by someone else can be used as a selling point for another.  Competing businesses know that the way to win customers from the competition is to offer that which the competition is not.  And in most cases, while everyone chase after the big business strategies, they neglect the little detail. Anyone who despises the little things as unimportant end up paying dearly for it. Today, be intentional in...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 22/8/2020  Text: Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. "Let your words be few". This is not a suggestion but an instruction. The Bible is full of instructions concerning how we should speak.  James 1:19 instructs us to be slow to speak. Matthew 12:36 informs us that every idle word spoken shall be given account for on the day of judgement. Why then does the scriptures have so much on words and how we should speak? The answer is because words are the formative and creative force that shaped the universe. Hebrews 11:3 says "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." God's Word framed the worlds and caused the unseen to be made manifest. And this ability was handed over to us as human beings when w...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 21/8/2020  Proverbs 30:28 (King James Version) The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. Continued from yesterday ... I mentioned yesterday that the web-spinning ability of the spider is an inherent skill. The silk that spiders make their webs from is stored in liquid form inside their bodies.  When they want to make the web, they bring it out and the liquid silk becomes hard when it comes in contact which allows them to spin their webs.  Each of us have at least one inherent skill, gift, or talent. While skills, gifts, and talents can be learned, no one is born without a particular one.  Even the skills we learn are a product of the inherent potential we have to gain mastery of such skills. If you aren't wired or designed in that manner certain skills can be difficult to acquire.  Although we may have these skills residing within us, it is unprofitable to us in that form. It is required that we begin to make use of it...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 20/8/2020  Proverbs 30:28 (King James Version) The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. Continued from yesterday ... Let's begin with the Spider... Not many people like spiders. In fact, many are afraid of them. That's why there is something called arachnophobia. While these little and sometimes not so little creatures can be somewhat scary to some people, one thing spiders are that cannot be disputed is their ingenious creativity. Spiders are very skillful and creative. This is evident in their web-spinning ability and the webs they make.  This web-spinning skill is an inherent ability. And it plays a major function in their lives. Spiders use their webs for the following: 1. To catch prey.  2. To live in.  3. To protect their eggs. 4. To preserve captured prey. 5. It is used as a means of movement. Spiders can create webs that allows them to ride the winds current.  The web of the spider is very durable. It doesn't ...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 19/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:28 (New Living Translation) [28]Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. Proverbs 30:28 (King James Version) [28]The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. The 28th verse of Proverbs 30 is an interesting one. This is because the original Hebrew word "semamiyt" has been translated into the English words "Spider" in the King James Version and "Lizard" in modern translations such as the New Living Translation. This is no cause for controversy as both creatures fit the Hebrew word in use. First of all, both lizard and spider have their own Hebrew words which are different from the one used here.  The word in use here isn't clear but it is from a root word that speaks of the ability of a creature to stun, stupefy, or poison. And certain Lizards and Spiders are known to be poisonous.  Also, both creatures have been found to be in the most unlikelies...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 18/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:27 (New Living Translation) [27]Locusts—they have no king, but they march in formation. Continued from yesterday   Locusts have a singleness of purpose and they are focused on it even to the last detail. Every change they undergo socially and physically is aimed at fulfilling that purpose.  Although many changes are required, their purpose and goal is simplistic and easy to remember. Their purpose when they swarm is to EAT.  They are so focused on this that no green thing escapes their path when they begin to eat.  What can we learn from this? We are all created by God for a purpose. This purpose is given to us before we were formed. It is the primary essence of our existence.  Every other thing we do in life is to aid in accomplishing that purpose. The dynamics of purpose might look complex, however, the goal of our purpose is always simplistic.  The locusts have to become social, they have to undergo ...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 17/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:27 (New Living Translation) [27]Locusts—they have no king, but they march in formation. While growing up, an elderly man in my local church always made a saying; "A tree can't make a forest". This saying speaks of the power in numbers. In the same vein, locusts also embody and practise power in numbers. A swarm of locust from research has shown to have about a billion individual members.  In application for us, we must understand that the vision given to you by God will require the assistance of men. No man is self-made. We are all dependent on others in one way or the other for the fulfilment of our destinies.  Locust may live solitary lives but when the time comes for them to achieve a goal, they seek out other individuals of their kind. You must seek to partner with others as you walk through the path to greatness. It is said, "If you want to go fast, walk alone; if you want to go far, walk with others."  The ...

Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 14/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:27 (New Living Translation) [27]Locusts—they have no king, but they march in formation. Locusts are just like ants. In terms of direct leadership, supervision, and control, there is no individual in charge.  However, locusts are a powerful force of nature. An individual desert locust is no threat to any vegetation. Their ability to pillage entire vegetation occurs when they band together.  Desert locusts have two behavioural patterns. Ordinarily, these creatures are solitary in nature. They keep to themselves and only go out at night to feed. They rarely meet with other locusts. The only time they do is when they meet to mate. And after that it is back to your solitary life. However, under certain conditions such as drought followed by rapid growth in vegetation, the locust change in behaviour, habit, and appearance.  They then enter a swarming phase that causes them to become social and interactive with other locusts...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 13/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:25 (New Living Translation) [26]Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful, but they make their homes among the rocks. Continued from yesterday ... Rock Hyraxes live in a community. You can have up to 80 members living together. As a result, they go foraging for food as a group.  This actually leaves them vulnerable to predators. Interestingly, Hyraxes despite having numerous predators are not usually prey causalties.  This is because they have developed a warning system that allows them evade these predators. When they go foraging, sentries are stationed at strategic location to warn the group of any danger while the others feed. When there is any danger, the lookout sentries make certain noises to alert others. Immediately, the entire group retreat back to their rock stronghold.  As humans, there is danger coming that is common to all of us. The danger known as the lake of fire is no fable as some might think. It is very re...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 12/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:25 (New Living Translation) [26]Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful, but they make their homes among the rocks. Continued from yesterday ... Rock Hyraxes are not short on natural predators. They are preyed on by leopards, hyenas, jackals, servals, pythons, and the Verreaux's eagles.  Given that these little creatures are not designed with a biological defensive feature, they choose to live in rocks to offer them the defense and protection they need. Their inability to defend themselves made them find wisdom in getting the much needed defence from the rocks. Rock hyraxes are very safe when they retreat into their rock stronghold.  This is the wisdom we should learn. As humans, there are so many things that can cause us serious hurt. This could be spiritual, physical, emotional, financial, psychological, etc.  Wisdom requires us to seek defence and protection when we find ourselves in danger. Just like the Hyraxes live a...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 11/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 30:24-28 (New Living Translation) [24]There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise: [25]Ants—they aren’t strong, but they store up food all summer. [26]Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful, but they make their homes among the rocks. [27]Locusts—they have no king, but they march in formation. [28]Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces. The book of Proverbs chapter 30 refer to 4 small creatures as being wise. So far in the series, we have talked about the ants. Now we turn our attention to the Hyraxes. Hyraxes or Conies as they are called in the King James Version or Rock Badgers in the New King James Version are fascinating creatures that dwell on rocks. They are predominantly found in Africa and the Middle East.  The Bible right away tells us that they aren't powerful creatures. Hence, their wisdom is not a function of their strength.  What the Bible recognizes as their wis...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 10/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 6:8 (New Living Translation) [8] they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. Continued from the  last post... It is important we discuss discipline in relation to the issue of savings. When I was much younger (about 9 or 10), I decided I wanted to start saving so I went and bought a traditional saving box. You know those ones made from tin cans.  Good enough I began saving. A little 20 naira here, a little 50 naira there. Sometimes, I saved a 100 naira. The thing is I was disciplined and consistent in my endeavour.  However, the problem was I couldn't leave the box closed for as long as I projected. Every now and then I will break my bank to get the money I had saved. And I ended up spending the money in very silly ways.  Before you look at me funny, I'm taking a wild guess that you probably had or might still have the same issue. Like, didn't you just withdraw your last savings to take care of ...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 8/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 6:8 (New Living Translation) [8] they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. Continued from yesterday . Ants are avid savers. They save for rainy days literally. Ants know that there are times when they won't be able to work and they make provisions for such times. The principle of savings is not a new concept to us. The only problem is that many of us do not practise it.  If there is anything the lockdown should have taught many of us is that there is a need to save. Many were stranded because there was no savings anywhere.  In a country like Nigeria, many complain that the income of the average Nigerian is too small to save anything from. While it is true that many people's income are low, it doesn't negate the principle of savings.  Savings should be made from the little you have. In fact, many have advised that you have a fixed percentage that goes into savings.  One reason many cannot save i...

 Spirit Breakfast 🍞☕ 7/8/2020  Text: Proverbs 6:8 (New Living Translation) [8] they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. Continued from yesterday . Ants are the true definition of workaholic. An ant does not idle about. Anytime you see an ant there is a purpose for it being in that location. Ants are always productive. Every action no matter how little and insignificant it might look is aimed at enhancing the overall productivity of the colony. Ants have an internal understanding of time and seasons. They know there are seasons (rainy and winter) where they can't work. This makes them all the more dedicated to their work.  Furthermore, ants have short life spans and they maximise every single day by contributing their little quota to the overall sustenance of the colony.  How do we apply this? Hard work is vital for success. I know so many have hyped smart work over hard work. The truth is, there is no difference between both. What is regarded as sm...

They network Network marketers might see this and just smile. Well, everyone needs to network but not necessarily in the sense of I bring one, he brings one kind of thing.  Networking is defined as the act of making contact and exchanging information with other people, groups and institutions to develop mutually beneficial relationships. Ants do this so well. As they go out foraging for food, they do so in a network line. They maintain this line to ensure the effectiveness of the task at hand.  If this line is broken, the ants will scamper for a bit in different directions. But give it a few minutes and the line will be back. It might not be the exact route, but another line will be created nonetheless.  What's the lesson here? While networking might look similar to what we dis...
