Sunday Morning Inspiration- Happiness  – Dr Okechukwu Ekemezie. Can we truly be happy? Can happiness be achieved? or is it just a myth that was invented to make us buy new things, according to Gregory David Roberts (get book Shantaram: A Novel )? Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction an accomplishment. We all want to be happy. But for many of us, happiness is an elusive, fleeting state that we can capture only for a brief moment, before it floats away like dust in the wind. The truth is that as human beings, almost all of our forward momentum is driven by the pursuit of happiness. Even the desire to socialize, to love, and to connect with other human beings is driven by our desire to be happy. The pursuit of better jobs, higher status, more wealth – the root of everything we’re chasing is happiness. This certainly doesn’t mean that everything we chase will bring us happiness. In fact, a big part of our struggle with life is figuring ou...

Sunday Morning Inspiration- Religion and Peace  – Dr Okechukwu Ekemezie. In our fast-paced modern society today, finding a man with inner peace and tranquility is very rare. Serenity of the mind and soul is a beautiful jewel to posses; it is the last lesson of culture. All religions teach and practice pacifism, even the word ‘Peace’ is similar with most common religions; Arabic (Salaam), Hebrew (Shalom), Hindu (Shanti) and most adherents of these religions greet each other saying “Peace be unto you”. Inner peace comes with discovering who you are. Read "WHO AM I?" If all world religions friendship and the need for peace, then why is there war among ourselves? Why is there conflict? Why so many disagreements? We have so soon forgotten that we all came from One Source and to that source we shall all return. So the next man/woman should be seen as a brother/sister and no harm should be done to him. Mother Theresa was right when she said “If we have no peace, its because we have...

Sunday Morning Inspiration - WHO AM I? by DR. OKECHUKWU EKEMEZIE Who am I? – For inspiration, this is one of the most important self-conscious and self-oriented question everyone must ask before a great personal awakening happens in our lives. Who am I? Where am I? How came I here? Where am I heading to? What is this thing called "the world"? Who is it that has lured me into this world? Why wasn’t I consulted (probably by my parents) or made acquainted with its manners and customs before throwing me into the world? And if I am compelled to take part in it, where is the director (so as to complain and make some remarks)?... and the list of questions is endless. There is absolutely no need of blaming anyone, not even our parents for bringing us into the world, the fact that we are already here is quite enough reason to first and foremost discover who we are. The word "I AM" is so powerful that if we realized its potential, most of life’s problem will be solved because...
