How The Devil Was Beaten In His Own Game By Bill Clinton

The guilt of sin can make one act absurdly in order to protect his/her image or evade consequences and responsibilities. Running away from your misdeeds is only effective in the short lane, but in the long run, the penalties are going to strike you like a bolt from the blue. In order to enhance your self-development you must be liable for your negligence or ignorance. The former president of U.S Bill Clinton took responsibilities of his negligence, after it was revealed he had committed adultery with his secretary. Despite of his image being tainted by the media; he choose to be a ‘fool’ by humbling himself throughout the difficult time and sincerely asked for apology. Majority criticized to an extent of taking the saga to court so as he can step down, but this did not happen, after he cleared his final term: he has managed to maintain his dignity so well that to date he is one of the most influential, outstanding, and popular leaders on earth. I understand of some difficult situations where lie is the only solution, but before you do it; remember God does not reject you when something awful of your character comes to light. Stand with the truth (no matter how ugly it is) and He will set you free from the jaws of guilt, shame, and worry.

THE SECOND FACE OF SUCCESS


One of my favorite quotes by the late Martin Luther King is when he said, ‘ if a man is to be street sweeper… he should sweep the streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well’. For you to win the acknowledgement of heaven and earth; discipline, hard work, and determination must be prerequisites. If you consider them in anything you do for a living, absolutely you are going to raise its value and attract admiration to many, be it you are a chef, security guard, gardener, or waiter. I remember during the late years of twentieth century. Dj’s in Kenya were perceived from a negative point of being school dropouts, drug addicts, and people who have got no future. No one could allow his daughter to be married to such people. However, those who were focusing on that occupation brought in new dimensions magnifying the job so well that now days the job is worth a million dollar: a Dj can earn 200,000- 300,000 within a week. The significance of an occupation is not determined by how much it pays, but how smart you work. Be creative!
