It is never too late

June 5, 2022June 5, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

It is never too late to make a change. Whatever our circumstances or the challenge, it is never too late. We are limited only by the doubts and fears we entertain, yet in reality the future has unlimited scope. Certainly we must be prudent about decisions and mindful of our practical responsibilities, but we must … Continue reading It is never too late

Emotions as tastebuds of the soul

May 24, 2022May 24, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

Emotions are the tastebuds the soul uses to process the flavors of an experience. What we truly believe in a situation is not the reasoning of our thoughts, but the deep inner emotions spontaneously arising from the soul. Reasoning is the work of the intellect that either tries to buildout facts to discover or feel … Continue reading Emotions as tastebuds of the soul

The call of the vision

April 28, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

The vision that calls us to service and reverberates in our innermost being, might initially awaken a feeling of inadequacy because it’s fulfillment invariably requires us to personally transform and reach a state higher than our present one. Thus, the perception of the great distance between what we are and what we must become to … Continue reading The call of the vision

What is a challenge?

April 22, 2022April 22, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

What makes anything a challenge to us is that we have simply not developed or refined the inner qualities needed to overcome it with ease. To someone who lacks height and leaping ability, running toward a fence he must scale to avoid harm would be a challenge, but not to the person who has the … Continue reading What is a challenge?

The path of the visionary

April 7, 2022April 10, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

The life of the visionary is valorized by many, without most really understanding how lonely and difficult the path is that such persons must tread. How much diligent and silent work without external recognition or understanding must occur behind the scenes. How many tears must be shed, sorrows that must cut the heart, but also … Continue reading The path of the visionary

Clarity

March 18, 2022March 18, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

In life there is always a way, for every difficulty there is always a solution. The only variable is how clear, focused and determined we are. How committed are we to invest the energy needed to find it and tread the path. Naysayers only reveal their own limitation of vision, whose counterpart is the doubt … Continue reading Clarity

Moments of trials

March 17, 2022March 18, 2022 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes we find ourselves amid an experience that severely challenges us and which a solution appears far off, so we cannot immediately change it. We look in all directions and know there is no easy way out, and to overcome this trial will cost us something. Although such moments can be bitter and difficult, they … Continue reading Moments of trials

He irritates me so much!

April 29, 2021 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ 1 Comment

Food for thought: He irritates me so much! : How do feelings work? Feelings = thoughts + instincts. Thoughts assign definite meanings to instincts through the experience of feeling. Thus, behind every feeling is a causative thought. No man can generate thoughts for another person, because that would require entering their soul and using their … Continue reading He irritates me so much!

What is the mind?

April 28, 2021 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

Computers are comprised of hardware and software. Hardware is the wiring, physical components, and frame of the computer. But software is the finer program used to operate the hardware. Electricity interacts with the hardware and specific codes to produce the software. The brain and mind are similar. The brain is the hardware, but the mind … Continue reading What is the mind?

A thought just struck me

April 26, 2021 ~ Dr. Ikenna Q. Ezealah ~ Leave a comment

Food for thought: “A thought just struck me”. To strike is to impact from without. A thought “striking” us means it entered our mind from somewhere, and only thereafter was recognized. But before it “struck” us, it must have existed somewhere. Before rain strikes us, it exists in clouds and travels through the air. When … Continue reading A thought just struck me
