WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO ASK QUESTIONS?

  On a sunny Friday morning, back to the regular Lagos hustle . I boarded a bus heading to Ogudu Ojota , I have never been to   that axis of Lagos before anyway.   A job interview was worth it,so all I had with me was the direct address of the company.   I boarded a bus, hoping to highlight at Ojota bust stop , in my mind I will just follow the directions in the address. Finally, I got down at the bus stop. Immediately I got down , I just   told one of the bike guys where I was going to, according to the address.  The bike man, nodded his head in agreement, then I asked him again; “oga are you sure you know this place”? He said; “yes na I do.” So I hopped in and he drove off. That is how we kept on going, turning everywhere anyhow…. In my thoughts, I was like this place is far ooooo . At some point I got sacred and had to question the man, are you sure you know this place? He said again; “yes na, we go soon reach there”….. . I got extremely inpatient and I asked him to

CAUGHT UP IN SELF DECEIT

My heart drains as I write this. In my subconscious,  I thought I could control things, I thought I got it covered, I thought my good heart, my  intentions, sacrifices, selflessness, hard work, strength and commitment is all I needed to put in it. At some point I sort of used God, I tried  to manipulate him in my requests and prayers to just make things work for me just the way I wanted, I felt it was right. Gave my everything to make things work,  I said; "God I give all to you, take control" but I still hold on to it all ,  I still struggle with it and still face the battle my self. …..Not knowing I was fetching inside a basket, I invested wrongly, I wasted it on the things that I should have let come naturally. Wait a minute, I thought there was nothing wrong being you and giving your best in everything you do. I thought I was better,  I felt highly of myself…. Oh gosh !!!! Oh! stupid me, Ignored the signs….. oh don’t look at me that way, yes, I saw the

EXPRESS IT: Important things to appreciate about life.

This week let’s take time to reflect. We all have goals and ambitions we want to cross off of our bucket list, but happiness does not just come from groundbreaking, life-changing events. As the School of Life explains, it is important to focus on small pleasures as we work toward greater goals. “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” How often do you pause to appreciate what you have in life? When I was young, I took things for granted. I believe many other kids did so, as well. After all, we were young and we didn’t know what life could be like on the other side. Now as adults, being responsible for everything is not easy. Those days, I used to feel my parents have not done enough, but now I just appreciate the little things that make a difference. Another things we took for granted was education. In this part of the world, it is compulsory for all kids to go to school, so it was given. We never thought about ho

Quit Pretense and Start Living

“If you want to be happy, don’t do something you don’t like. Don’t say something you don’t mean. Pretending and lying to you will only breed unhappiness.” Do you like your job? Do you feel comfortable in yourself? Do you love your partner? Are you happy? You may answer yes to these questions, but is that what you believe deep down? Trending now; we see people go through life pretending rather than living. Like we find it easier to tell ourselves that we feel good about somethings or someone than to come clean we don’t. After all, contentment doesn’t require action. Convincing ourselves we are happy when we are not even close to be, we dodge the difficult decisions that would be necessary to change our current situation. Quit Pretense If we pretend everything is fine, there is no need to quit that job we hate. We don’t have to contend with all the risks, fears, and potential disapproval we might face from friends, loved ones, and colleagues if we leave it behind.

This Moment Does Not Define You

Hi guys, I am so sorry for been away from here for a while. I went for NYSC camp,then my job can be really tasking most times. Please bear with me for going ON and OFF (so shy right now. I will try my very best to be showing up weekly. I am learning to balance it.   “Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy, joy arises from within.” I struggled with low self-esteem and insecurities for 5years or more until I understood life through Christ Jesus. Well I have not really recovered but I am in recovery, I am dealing and I am living again. One of the major issues was my so much concentration on the physical and temporary sides of life. In my mind, I over-emphasized the prominence of my body. I put the appearance of my body, and how I felt about my performances and my position, above my true self, underlying nature. Back then, I used to be an average student, I considered myself to be a failure, I thought that was all I could b
