INTRODUCTION
Many of my words have sometimes put me into trouble but my words have also got me out of a lot of those little troubles and problems. My way to a whole and healthy life has been through my words, actions, thoughts, character and my heart (WATCH). I have tried to keep myself on watch all my life to lead a reasonably good living. Consequently, a lot of people were able to stand by me and support me to keep enjoying my life with them as a family member, as a faithful friend, as a credible colleague, as a studious student and as a willing community worker.
All these people together with God Almighty assisted me to be strong and very courageous and to be careful to obey all the laws of humanity as a servant of the community. Then I gradually became reasonably prosperous and sincerely successful. I could not be deterred to make my moves in life.
Some of my meditations, confessions and prayers were my ways to breaking me free from every kind of bondage. Therefore, I was able to tell myself to carefully practice the Truth, Beauty and Goodness of humanity by writing my words creatively and speaking the words out loud and clear as well as over and over to watch my brain power get into action. Thus, I was able to see that the power for my life was hidden in my tongue, my heart and my thoughts. So more benefits of life came to me each time I confessed. As I acted truthfully, watched the beauty of nature impartially and did whatever good I could for the community, the water of the peaceful river of my normal living and positive thinking were able to wash me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness and made me conduct my daily business with dignity.
I began listening to God and His people and eating, drinking and learning what was good for me. My soul began to delight itself in abundance; it revived in the richest possible way to find my life worth living. Gradually I became a believer and kept moving away from being a doubter. Although I was a slow speaker I quickly learnt to hear well and clearly what people, products and procedures were saying and these made me slow to anger, apathy and anguish.
Consequently as life went on, I as a teacher and a trainer was becoming a refined giver and kept receiving more and better knowledge in order to give more with better skills and talents. The best things that happened to me in life with the blessings of God Almighty were abandonment of fear and guilt and possessing the power of love and sound mind in the healthy body. I did not need much more to lead a good life so I moved on with added courage and solid conviction.
There have never been any lack of confession, admission, compromise and trade-off in my words, actions, thoughts, character and heart and so my eyes were able to reveal the truth by showing me ways to recognize a new heaven and a new earth that I was able to flourish and inter-relate as a human being. When I took my retirement from all paid jobs in 2002 I had a lot to confess about various aspects of life as an effective professional personnel and a family man so by 2020 I had enough collection of my confessions to put them in another publication titled as ‘The Diary of a Retired Man”.
