Good day to my lovely readership. I wish to know you personally so don't ever fail to holla when you get the chance. I strongly believe I am conversing with awesome, successful people so, knowing you will only be a plus to my life. Now to the business of the day.

Stars. Superstars. Movie stars. Athletes are stars too. Then you have music stars. Stars are everywhere. Stars are in every field, all around us. Stars are popular. Stars rule the world. Stars shine brighter. Stars have more followers on social media than anyone else . Some singers are more popular and carry more influence than some presidents. Stars rule the world.

Everyone wants to be a star. Look up at the skies and you'll see that the stars shine brightest and stand out. Even the brightest object in the solar system is a star. The sky is just a background while the stars are at the forefront. The stars in the sky motivate us to be great. They motivate us to stand out. And most importantly , they push us further; they push us to "greatness".

That last part. They push us further. That's not so much of a good thing as it seems. See, the sky is big. Really really wide. Imagine if every object in the sky was a star. Imagine if the skies were populated with bright shining objects. Everywhere you turn, you see shine, glitter and blinding energy. The stars won't be too great to look at.

The sky is a background. The stars are a light. God created the sky to be the background and the stars to shine. Without the sky, the stars will be lost. Without the technical crew, the singers would be lost. Without the training staff, athletes would be lost. So when you critically look at it, the sky is a star. The coaches are stars. The technical crew members are stars. Every little person hidden in the shadows doing an awesome hidden job is a star. Because without them, all the glitter would be lost.

So to answer my question, the topic of this post. A star is anyone that fulfills purpose. God created you with some special gifts that no one else has. You need to use them. Not everyone was made to be at the forefront. That doesn't make them any less special. So rule your world. Own your God-given gift and use it for his glory. At the end of the day, the sky doesnt want to be a star. The sky just wants to please God. A star is anyone who wants to please God .

Be a star. Please God. Its all that matters.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
You could be called to be the guy/girl at the forefront. However, don't make it a priority. Don't make it a dream to be rich and famous. If God wants you to be that FOR HIS GLORY, fine. If not, fine. Its all for His glory. Take care.

Good day guys. As usual, it is important to remember the quality of the life you have and know the greatness in you. Every man, woman and child needs to know that though the present may seem scattered, if you look firmly at the promises of God about your future and welcome these promises in faith, your abilities become limitless. Anyway, we'll discuss that another day.

Today's discussion is about something else. I remember when I was in Primary School , we were always given math exercises. For some reason, we had to have maths everyday. It was a daily routine. Math, Science, Social Studies, some Religious Study among others. The timetable was laid out and we-mindlessly- went on with it week after week. After all, we were only children. Did we have a choice ?

However, the math exercises really struck me. Our teacher would introduce a new topic,give a little explanation and then try out some examples. After solving them, she would then give room for questions. When she was satisfied that we had understood or becomes too tired to carry on, then comes the dreaded "CLASSWORK". Every one proceeds to collectively solve the questions, even though it was supposed to be a personal test. Cunning little brats we were.

After she had marked our submitted answers, we get our notebooks back and flip through the pages to see what we got wrong. To correct the mistakes we made, our teacher would then explain the solution to each question . This part of the day started with a big underlined CORRECTION being written on the board. Good times.

Now back to the point of all this storytelling. People complain that there is so much that is wrong with our society today. I don't have to start repeating their fears to you. You can fill in the black spaces. "They" say that there is so much wrong with this young generation and we are living in the last days. Lack of respect for authority, rebellion in many forms and so many other vices. No arguements.

So, what shall we do about it? I say we solve our problems the math way. Rather than spend your time complaining about all the wrong things people are doing why don't you be the one person that does a different thing? Why not become special? Why not make a difference in your life? Why don't you be an example?

See, the reason the world is crazy today is because of the lack of a better alternative. So let's choose to be that alternative. Let's be different. Let's shine God's love so bright that people would turn to face us. Let's be the first set of examples that people can learn from. Because, without the examples, there would be no understanding that a better life exists. No one would know of a better way. So let's show the way. Let's stand out with the boldness of the Holy Spirit so when the test comes, people would pass the next time. The correction in our society would only come when we become examples. Let's be examples.

God is looking for people who are ready to be examples. Dont be left out. I choose to be an example in my community. Make a choice today. 
Examples before correction.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This is not an "I'm-better-than-you" post. To be an example, all that is needed is to get God inside of you. So if you want to become an example or to go through correction, you go to God. That simple. God is just a click away. Click here.
