Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Thursday    30th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 87 Title:          Tomorrow Is Not Promised, Live In The Now!! I have taken a look at how people postpone for tomorrow what they can do today and it really bothers me. It bothers me, not because I am not a believer in planning for tomorrow or even next tomorrow but because the thought process behind the action is that of saying that we have all the time in the world and so there's no reason to hurry. It is this thought process that has left many a man unable to fulfill their destinies and a whole number of others unable to finish the projects that they have started. The story is told of the man who was the head of the family and was expected to pass information about the family to the younger ones, but he kept pushing it forward. Each time the young ones asked for info...

Wednesday        29th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 86 Title:          Stop Creating Your Own Storms!! He was 18 when he fell in love with a girl of 16; his Mother warned him not to toe the line of his Father who got her pregnant at 17 and then died just before he was born leaving her all alone to bear the burden of raising him. But before the saliva of those words could dry on her lips  and just before anyone could say Jack, the girl was pregnant and he ended up marrying her. He was yet to be through with College (he was paying his tuition with College Loan) infact neither of them was yet through with College and so they could not afford to rent their own house and thus had to live with his Mum. The girl had to drop out of College to have the baby while he continued with College. His Moth...

Tuesday     28th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 85 Title:          A Victim or A Victor: Which Would You Rather Be? Many a time we are confronted with life threatening situations that take the  breath away from us, how we react to them would actually be a pointer to what their outcomes would be. Since he was 12, Bomboy had been in and out of hospitals, with the same complaints - he usually would begin to feel feverish and then suddenly the fever would reach a peak and he would faint, whenever that happens and he was rushed to a nearby Hospital, the treatment would be the same, give something to bring the fever down and then observe him for a day and release him to his parents. For a while this continued; but then the frequency of the attacks increased as he got to his 17th year. Finally the Parents decide...

Monday     27th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 84 Title:          You Are Not A Product Of Your Circumstances But Of Your Decisions!! He was the 7th born and 5th son of the family, there were two other following him, overall they were 9 children from the same parents. Because they asked him of the Lord, his parents named him Chim. His parents were not very handy, the Father was a Motor Cycle Repairer while the Mother was a Petty Trader. They both contributed to the upbringing of their children. The first 2 girls were married before they were 20 years of age after they had finished Primary School, the other male children before Chim did not proceed further than the Primary School before they were apprenticed to various trades and handcrafts. When he got to Primary Four, Chim told his father that he would like t...

Sunday       26th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 83 Title:          Stop Running Away, Take Responsibility! He was placed in the Garden and given specific instructions of how to relate with the trees and animals and plants in that Garden. He knew all the trees, animals and plants by fruit or offspring by name because as a matter of fact he was the one who gave each living thing that was created its name. When his wifey brought the fruit of the tree he was forbidden to eat, he knew it was that fruit but he still went ahead to eat it and when the Owner of the Garden confronted him and asked him "what is this you have done?" he knew he was guilty but HE HAD TO PASS THE BUCK. He refused to accept the responsibility for his action and rather retorted "the woman YOU gave me, gave me of the fruit and I ate"...

Saturday    25th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 82 Title:          Live Your Life Before Life Leaves You!! I came across this headline somewhere and it made a whole lot of sense to me. I told myself that I would not only do a podcast with that tile but that I would also  ensure that all those around me get the meat behind the title and actually begin to live their lives. It is really unfortunate that sometimes most of us do not realize that there is no eternal abode here on earth and that life is not only transitory but temporal too. We act as if we can postpone living until we are ready to live; but that is not the case. Whether we like it or not, life is on a forward movement, it waits for no one and there cannot be a time when you can say this is my time to live. The time you have to live is an everyday thin...

Friday         24th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 81 Title:          If You Take A Wrong Decision, Be Ready For The Consequences!! The other day, I was standing in a queue to access some service, when two other men joined the queue. I guess they must have been discussing from outside and continued it even while on the queue and so those of us there could not help but overhear what they were talking about. I overheard one of the men say "he is like that o o, always on the run, not willing to sit down and discuss things through and arrive at certain decisions". Of course I wasn't going to ask him who they were talking about of what it was he or she did, but it helped make up my topic for today. I have known people who find it really difficult to make decisions on the things of life as it con...

Thursday    23rd November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 80 Title:          Dare To Be Different!! Being different in a world where everyone is expected to "behave the same way" is very exacting and yet our differences are at the core of our individuality and personality. The pressure to conform is so great that you would be seriously "OYO" (on your own) should your "friends" find out that you are a "non-conformist". The major reason behind this is the "stomach infrastructure" and the tokenism that accompanies conformity. "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is the mantra of the conformists and woe betide thee if thou art on the other side of the divide, they would either reduce you to a relic from the past to be visited only when there is nothing at hand or they turn you into a statue standing at a public place...

Wednesday        22nd November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 79 Title:          You Have A Choice!! I have met a number of persons (men and women) who are suffering quietly and living the life of quiet desperation because they think and infact believe that there is no other choice to make. You have a job, but each morning when you wake up, you do not look forward to going to work, you would rather be at home and avoid the hassles of the work place, whenever you remember that you have to go to work, your heart misses a beat and you raise a little more tension than you hitherto had. It can be so easy to believe that we are trapped in a terrible job, and we cannot help the situation because it is still the best in this austere times. We struggle to be at work when our minds are somewhere else, we find no f...

Tuesday     21st November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 78 Title:          What Will Be Your Defining Moment? She was driving home and trying to keep sane on the road among so many insane drivers. The traffic was heavy, looked like everyone left their office at the same time, so much horn blaring, so much noise, so much smoke pollution. She was dog tired and couldn't wait to get home and just soak herself in a warm bath-tub before any other thing. She was keeping to her own lane and then suddenly realized that she had not belted up and so she trafficated to park and do just that and one reckless and dangerous driver who obviously did not see her trafficator, suddenly jumped on her car and the crash was thunderous, she jolted forward and hit her head on the steering wheel and was knocked out flat, the cars started stopp...

Monday     20th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 77 Title:          Whatever It Is That's Dragging You Back, Let It Go!! Growing up, I used to keep a 'diary of hurts'. It was not the same as journaling which I grew up doing too; but it was a diary where I recorded the names of those who hurt me, the exact time, day and date it took place, where it happened and what it was that they did to me. I used to take hurts to heart and found it difficult to forgive; infact it was such a burden that when He found me, it was the first thing I disposed and since then I have been a very free man. Now that does not mean that people no longer hurt me, NO, I have suffered lots of hurts from those who are even closer to me than my relatives but the difference between now and then is that, I no longer have a diary of hurts and I qu...

Sunday       19th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 76 Title:          Live, Love, Laugh!! Have you seen a man who is so tight lipped that he hardly can smile let alone laugh, you are looking at a man who is determined to ruin his own happiness and life in the process, why? because just as the popular saying goes - laughter is still the best medicine. That Nigerians despite the heavy toll that the financial recklessness of those at the helm of affairs has imposed on them are still described as the "happiest people in the world" is not far from the message in the that popular saying. Laughter relaxes the muscles of the face and releases the "happy hormone" that smoothens the job of our insides (speaking literally) and give us less stress. Have you seen a man who is so busy struggling to make ends meet tha...

Saturday    18th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 75 Title:          Always Appreciate What You Have! Even though He Who created man and breathed into him the breath of life made things easy and simple such that no man may have to stress himself in living the life given to him, but man has made life so complicated and complex that he now makes efforts to wriggle out of the quagmire he has created and finds it extremely difficult so to do. And this is because man's wants are insatiable. Man is a product of ambition and every ambition achieved gives birth to another ambition to be achieved, if this is not the case, then tell me how come that man is a chronic worrier even over things he knows he can never have control over like the weather for instance, like the sun rising from the east and setting in the west, like the coc...

Friday         17th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 74 Title:          Doubt, Fear, Financial Stress - When Will You Say "Enough Is Enough"? You are making great efforts to make ends meet, yet the elastic limit has refused to be reached, you work day and night, yet you are so much under financial pressure, what you make is not enough for what you need. You stretch and stretch and there's no hand out there to be grabbed for help, the Government says that the Country is out of depression, but you are yet to get out of financial depression and you continually groan under the heavy load of the stress your financial state has put you into. When will be the breaking point? At what point would you look yourself in the eye and say enough is enough? Your friends have moved on, they have started othe...

Thursday    16th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 73 Title:          We May Encounter Many Defeats, BUT We Must Not Be Defeated My title for today's podcast is an eye lifting quote credited to Brian Tracy that wonderful World's Number 1 Motivational and Inspirational Expert. A story is told of a young boy who was hale and hearty at birth and early childhood but who was given an injection when he was taken to a health clinic with the complaint of fever and that injection turned out to be the nightmare of his life because few days after receiving the injection, his legs were unable to carry him again, he could not stand alone again, neither walk nor run. He and his parents thought that his life had come to an end. And before anyone could say Jack Robinson the muscles on his legs started diminishing in mass until they wer...

Wednesday        15th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 72 Title:          Happiness Is An Inside Job!! I have been in conversation with persons who say that they are unhappy with their present circumstances and think that they will be happy when the situation improves. I have met wives who think that their happiness lies in the ability of their husbands to provide for their every whim and caprice. I have met husbands who have the idea that for them to be happy with their wives, the women must be fit and trendy and so on. A man who has a beetles car says he can only be happy when he has a Mercedes S Class; the man who has Mercedes S Class says he can only be happy when he has the 2018 Edition of Range Rover; the man who has a 2017 edition of Range Rover says he can only be happy when he has a Privat...

Tuesday     14th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 71 Title:          Wear Success As A Habit And You'd Be An Achiever!! There is a popular saying that goes thus "success attracts more success", interpreted literally, it means that when someone has achieved success in one particular area of life, the likelihood that he will be successful in other areas is nearer to 99% than 90%. This may be true but behind that action is a habit, the habit of wearing success as a cloth. Right from the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve realized that they were naked after eating the "forbidden fruit", their next panic action was to find something to cover their nakedness, and we all as human beings use clothes to cover our nakedness, you can imagine how chaotic the world would be if men and women go about naked - oops!!!! Clothes not...
