DESTROY THE CATERPILLAR!
Most people know that every butterfly was once a caterpillar. This is true, but the change process is not so simple. Inside the chrysalis, a miracle occurs that seems more like destruction than creation. The caterpillar doesn't simply grow wings; it dissolves. Its familiar form breaks down into a soupy, amorphous substance. More like, it becomes completely destroyed. From this complete deconstruction, something entirely new assembles: wings, compound eyes, and a proboscis. These are structures that didn't exist in the caterpillar's body.

The caterpillar does not literally change into a butterfly. Rather, the old must completely disintegrate for the butterfly to emerge. This biological process leaves a lot of lessons about our personal growth and transformation. We want to add wings to our caterpillar selves, but that is like trying to develop new habits atop old patterns or build spiritual disciplines without surrendering foundational identities.

In the new year, it is possible to become a butterfly, but the old caterpillar has to be completely destroyed. Our transformation requires the humble courage to let our familiar structures such as our ways of thinking, our self-protections, our comfortable identities, etc, break down in the chrysalis of change. Stop trying to add wings to your caterpillar life. You can’t layer new habits onto old patterns and call it growth. This year, don’t just change - transform- a transformation that involves the destruction of the old and the emerging of a new you! – Dr. Josiah B. Andor.

GIVING A MEANINGFUL GIFT - SHOW EFFORT!
The excitement in receiving a gift is always high since it communicates to your spouse that you are thinking of them and that you have thought of a gift to present to them. The excitement is however higher when your spouse realises that you put so much thought and effort into selecting, creating, packaging, and presenting the gift. This makes them feel special and loved. Don’t just let it be a gift; put in more effort and make it more meaningful to your spouse. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

GIVING A MEANINGFUL GIFT - BE THOUGHTFUL!
You cannot give a meaningful gift until you consider your spouse’s current situation as well as the occasion. Depending of what may be happening with your spouse or what may be the occasion, your gift should resonate with your spouse. It doesn’t have to be unrelated. This implies you should always consider giving a thoughtful gift - a gift that takes everything into consideration. Such a gift will mean you are not just giving a gift for the sake of giving a gift; you are being considerate and thoughtful. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

GIVING A MEANINGFUL GIFT - PERSONALISE YOUR GIFTS!
Though gifts are universally acceptable as ways of expressing love, it speaks volumes when the gift you give your spouse is personalised. This implies giving a gift that reflects your spouse’s personality, interests, or identity. It will make more meaning to give a gift that your spouse will directly identify with. Gifts can be customised to bear your spouse’s name, image, or a message that resonates with them. Such gifts are more meaningful and make better impact on your spouse. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

ENJOY YOUR LIFE NOW!
There is nothing wrong with a desire to succeed, get better, and achieve higher heights. In fact, it is laziness that will make anyone stay at the same place and not strive to move to a better place. People should seek promotion, increased finances, better conditions of service, more possessions, better places, etc. Such desires are natural and everyone should be encouraged to strive for a better life. However, no matter what one achieves, there is always something better - a better position, a better condition, better possessions, a better place, etc. Life can always get better. Due to this, there is a tendency to spend one’s life chasing a better life.

In most cases, the search for a better life blinds people to the good things they can enjoy in their present circumstances. This leads to a lack of contentment which steals present joys. You don’t have to wait to be promoted before you enjoy your work- enjoy it now; You don’t have to get a salary increase before you enjoy your money- enjoy it now; You don’t have to buy some expensive things before you enjoy your life- enjoy it now; You don’t have to travel overseas before you enjoy life - enjoy it now. No matter what you are striving for, don’t wait to get it before. You can enjoy now. It is good to strive for a better life; but while at it, be content with what you have and enjoy your life now. – Dr. Josiah B. Andor

ENJOY THE ESSENTIALS!
The preacher’s prescription for a life he describes as meaningless is in Ecclesiastes 2:24: “A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil.” (NIV). By this, he implies that people should strive to enjoy their food and drink and also focus on finding satisfaction in their work. Once you live this kind of life, you are likely to be happy even amidst the futility and meaningless of life.

Considering the statement by the preacher, it is clear that the main reason for life’s struggles is to meet basic needs, including food and water. It is therefore important to try as much as possible to give oneself the best and enjoy the essentials. Again, he argues that one should find their job satisfying. This means one should develop interest in their occupation and try to enjoy what they do. As it is said, if you enjoy what you do, you’ll never have to work again. – Josiah B. Andor, PhD.

GIVING A MEANINGFUL GIFT - LISTEN ATTENTIVELY!
To ensure that your gift is a meaningful one to your spouse, it is important to listen attentively and pay attention to your spouse’ interests. This implies paying attention to your spouse’ needs, desires, and wishes. If you listen attentively, you are likely to notice what your spouse enjoys doing or talking about. You will then get to know their innermost desires and based on that you can decide on a more meaningful gift. Such a gift can be presented to your spouse either at any random time or on a special occasion. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

A SPECIAL GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS!
On special occasions like Christmas, the most meaningful gift you can consider giving your spouse is your time. Husbands and wives should be able to make good use of the period of Christmas to show love to each other by giving their spouses part of their time. The season comes with holidays and it is a mark of love to specifically take time off other schedules and spend it with one’s spouse. If you do this, it makes your spouse feel loved and special. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

MAKE YOUR GIFT-SHARING EFFECTIVE: MAKE IT REGULAR!
The sharing of gifts between couples in marriage is very important as it helps build a connection between husbands and wives. Your spouse feels loved and valued when you give thoughtful gifts to them. It is therefore important to make it a regular part of your relationship routine. Don’t give gifts to your spouse only on birthdays, anniversary days, Valentine’s Day, or special occasions. Make it regular, and always do it with love. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

Hence it is important to make an intentional effort to introduce the act of surprising your spouse with small, unexpected gifts from time to time. it doesn’t have to be huge. It simply has to be well planned and nicely presented. Such surprises will make your spouse feel really special and loved. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

YOU CAN BE HAPPY NOW!
The popular “Parable of the Mexican Fisherman” leaves a huge lesson for us. A businessman was on vacation in a small Mexican coastal village. One day, he noticed a local fisherman, early in the morning, hauling in a fresh catch of fish. Impressed by the quality of the fish, the businessman asked how long it took to catch them.

"Not very long, Just a few hours." The fisherman replied.

"Why don't you stay out longer and catch more?" Asked the businessman.

His response was simple: "I have enough to support my family and give a few to friends. I like to spend the rest of my time with my wife, playing with my children, and taking a siesta."

The businessman offered his expertise: "But if you spent more time fishing, you could sell more fish, make more money, and eventually buy a bigger boat. With a bigger boat, you could catch even more fish, make even more money, and eventually become a wealthy businessman."

The fisherman listened intently and asked, "And then what next?"

The businessman replied, "You could relax, enjoy your wealth, and spend time with your family."

The fisherman smiled and said, "That's exactly what I'm doing now. I'm already living the life you're telling me to strive for. I'm already relaxing, enjoying with what I have, and spending time with my family.”

The businessman learned a valuable lesson that day about appreciating the simple things in life; that success and happiness didn't involve constantly striving for more. He learnt that the secret to a happy fulfilled life is contentment. Happiness eludes those who are waiting for more in order to be happy. You can be happy now. – Dr. Josiah B. Andor
