Why Worrying

WHY WORRYING There have been times we thought "This is the end, I don't think I can get what I want. It's out of hand. I don't think I can manage. I don't see myself there. I don't have what it takes. I am not like him. I am not like her." But eventually, we made it. We sometimes look at our life and wonder how we've come this far despite our inadequacy and incompetence. But here you are. Strong and standing. Fresh and dazzling. Don't you think, God that has brought you this far is capable of taking you farther? Then why do you worry and then limit yourself to only what you can see? If your goals and admirations in life are based on what you can only see with your eyes and not with your imagination and heart, then you should go back to the table. What limits us most of the time is not the unavailability of resources but the availability of worry. And that keeps us in a spot. A proverb says: "Worry is like a rocking chair. It wil...

Real Vs Fake

Real vs Fake PV: Why do people find it difficult to be who they are? Why do we always tend to compromise our personalities? Why do we put on pretense, when we are actually not feeling good inside of us? Am I saying you should let everybody know you're going through stuffs? No! But why do we pretend to ourselves thinking "the problem is not there" when it's so glaring and concrete. Now, you listen, yes you. Why do you always keep the real you and living a fake life. You are something on the inside but what you portray on the outside is totally different. But, the unfortunate part is, your inner being is far better than what you're pretending to be. I wonder why we are never satisfied with the real us and start chasing the shadow of others, which they actually are running away from. You see, these people want to escape their shadow because it's keeps them in cages, but you, you want to be that shadow. Many times, when we think of compromisin...

The Me I Do Not Know (Part 2) In the last article I discussed about WHO YOU ARE and I said, "Who you don't believe about yourself, you can not become" . I also said we will be considering WHAT YOU ARE in the next article. So, if you have not read the first article (The Me I do not know), you can do so by clicking the arrow behind the Blog name on top of the article.    "WHO You marry is different from WHAT you marry", P.Shine will always say. What does he mean by this statement? WHO you marry is the fine, gorgeous and figure eight lady, or fine, six-packs rich guy, but starting from the first day you start living together, you will know and come to understand WHAT you marry. Because it's until then that he or she will start bringing out his or her content. So, my question for you is; What are you and What are you ingesting into yourself now.    Talking about; What you read, What you see, What you give your time and attention to, What you e...

The Me I Do Not Know

The Me I Do Not Know      During our early stage of life, people tend to guide us and give us instructions they believe or deem fit to best suit our lives, expecting us to follow them to the call. And when we don't follow those instructions, we attract to ourselves punishment which they also deem fit to suit the gravity of mistake or offence committed. And we also grow up believing what those values have instilled in us and follow them without thinking. Some break out of it when the pattern is not well structured leading to low self esteem, inability to take some certain decisions and so on. But, it's not their (people that taught us those lessons) fault, they only do their best in bringing us up. That's why an African proverb says " When someone is given birth to, you have to rebirth yourself". At some point in life, you come to the understanding of who we really are and what we are. Because WHO you are is different from WHAT you are. But in this article...

Do Not Judge

                                          DO NOT  JUDGE      Of the things we know how to do best as humans is to judge other people based on our own standard of what is right and what is wrong, based on what these people do, say, how they react to issues or their ways of life which to a reasonable extent doesn’t make a lot of sense to us. We assume so much about people, how we think they should act, place a particular role, how mature they ought to have become, how knowledgeable they ought to have become, and so on.      But it’s not like that! And it shouldn’t be like that! Why do you expect people to become what you don’t actually know anything about? Have you ever taken time out to feel how they feel? Do you know they are also not happy the way things are going for them. You may see a car moving at a very high speed and immed...
Your View Is Important         Many times, we tend to look for people who see things the way we see them. But at times it seems difficult to find one. But the question is, WHY?! Well, I have an answer to that, and the answer is; "Because you are unique".            Many people don't believe that actually. That they are unique and different from other people, so they want to conform themselves to the image people would like, trying to view things in general or conventional way. And in view of that, they gave up their own point of view and cling to that of others, forgetting that their own point of view may be the solution.          But am I saying you should always be rigid about or with your decisions? No! Because a backbone that cannot bend will make one to hit his/her head against lintel. In fact seeking knowledge is better but building on the knowledge you have already is the best.     ...
Preventing Being Hurt        "I don't want people to tamper with my things because I won't tamper with theirs. So leave me alone, I know how I am living my life".  Is this the way you are also thinking. You feel save being alone and never want interaction with the people out there. You feel save in your comfort zone thinking you got it all right.     So, what am I saying? Am I saying you should always be dependent and not do things on your own? No! But the values you get from people make you better than being a lone ranger. Yes, i know people can be funny at times. But, don't forget, people can also be a blessing. It just have to be you moving with the right people, who have the same vision as you do, and if they don't, they can guide you on how to fulfill yours while theirs is not lacking improvement too. In other words, don't judge people from afar, neither trust people at your expense. The wisdom is needed and don't forget: James1:5 If any of ...
