I had a Bad Dream Last Night.
It was weird because, in it, a loved one died. What was strange as dreams go is that the person in the casket was my grandfather, who died when I was nine, yet in the dream, his relationship with me was different. Plus, of course, the extreme weirdness of a Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello, being the preacher at the funeral service.

- An acute awareness of the brevity of life
- My need to create more time and cherish every moment with my loved ones
Some of us live without the consciousness of our chronological journey. As though the present will always be present, which it will, except that the present is in a constant state of becoming the past. Lord, teach us to number our days.

We are only in control of our perspectives, and it is our perspectives that create the life we have. Perspectives determine joy or fear; they decide whether to hope or quit. Perspective can help you see your resources as useful or useless.
Moses cried out to God after the children of Israel had been walking in the desert for three days, and the water in the first stream they came across was bitter. God showed him a piece of wood. Moses picked up the wood and threw it into the water, which became sweet.
The right perspective matters. It allows you to see the wood as a tool to change your physical reality and not a useless piece of wood. What resource do you have in your space that can help you take the next step?
