THIS IS A COPIED POST FROM A SOURCE NOT KNOWN AT THE TIME OF POSTING IT HERE ON TLF BLOG
*Die empty* 

 One of the most beautiful book to read is "Die Empty" by Todd Henry. 

 The author was inspired and got this idea of writing ​​this book while attending a business meeting. When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?" 

 One of the audience answered: "Oil-rich Gulf states."
Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa." 
Then the director said: "No it is the cemetery. 

 Yes, it is the richest land in the world, because millions of people have departed, "they have died" and they carried many valuable ideas that did not come to light and benefited others. It is all in the cemetery where they are buried." 

 Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book "Die empty." 

 Where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: 
"Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have. 

 *always choose to die empty*  

 The TRUE meaning of this expression, is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world, before you leave If you have an idea perform it. If you have a knowledge give it out. If you have a goal achieve it. Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside. Shall we begin to give and remove and spread every atom of goodness inside us. 

 Start the race.... 

 *Die Empty*

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
