This is not a poem nor a piece of art, but undiluted expression of my pure emotions. I don’t know what my stars are but for now all I know is I always end up being left alone all on my own.I feel a big void deep inside my heart and I feel so hollow and empty.I feel there’s a lot of things missing in … Continue reading THIS IS NOT A POEM: AN UNDILUTED EXPRESSION OF MY EMOTIONS
We are filled with so much energy; both positive and negative. What makes the energy oozing out of us positive or negative is not always about how it looks but sometimes what we use it for. The way we do things mostly matters than the things we do. Happiness is a form of energy as well as anger, but we usually see anger as a … Continue reading MAKE YOUR HEART-BREAK A BREAKTHROUGH

A very good friend of mine, who’s all of philosophy, although he may not realize it, once taught me a very good lesson of being a fool to others. He’s one kind of person who’s always doing extra. He always does more than what he is asked to do to the extent that our Madam even got fed up and complained about it. You’ll always … Continue reading I’M NOT THE FOOL YOU THINK I AM
1) In our previous chapter we learned that the sins of man was continually multiplying and they were shifting away from God’s presence and protection. In this chapter you would learn what happens to those who go away from the presence and those who stay connected with the presence. 2)Never cause God to regret creating you, saving you or blessing you. God can regret doing … Continue reading GENESIS CHAPTER SIX (6) LESSONS

On my way to work this morning, I heard a lady talking to a Young boy whom I believe is about 10 years old that he should be a good boy because if he is a good boy he will become a good man. I thought of this statement of the lady even after I have reached the office. Upon thinking of her statement, I … Continue reading WHAT DO YOU SOW?
This is NOT the kind of post I make in the mornings but I must because of the several conversations I have had with youth lately.
Some of you may have been told – choose a course that pays. Some of you may have had it impressed on you by parents or guardians because they are the ones paying the fees. BUT in all these – your role is the most crucial. It’s your hardwork, it’s your life, it’s your destiny, it’s your future!! So choose wisely what you study. BUT HOW DO YOU CHOOSE?
I suggest 3 things to keep in mind when selecting a course to study. Please please please – this is not something you want to spend 4-10 years of your life studying, then realise “Oh I don’t like it” and then become miserable on a daily basis doing what you hate – so please be wise, put in the effort, do the work involved and decide wisely. Some didn’t get this opportunity.
#1 – KNOW THYSELF
It’s interesting how God/Nature created us. Everything we were created with was intended to make life much easy for us. It is WE who ignore the signals life endows us with. Every human is created uniquely. There are things that become a part of you over the years because you learnt them – that’s not what I am talking about. I am talking about things that are NATURAL to you. Take time to observe, research and study yourself. Yes. Write them down. Everything unique about you. Your height, body shape, sharpness of your ear, emotional preferences, dispensation towards people, strongest body parts, things you’re most drawn to, your creativity, analytical nature, how your brain works, talkativeness, natural assertiveness, the things you love and hate passionately etc. One thing will begin to be clear – you are more WIRED better for some career paths than others. You will start having a general idea as to whether you are more geared towards careers requiring physical form, oral engagement, rigidity, creativity, thinking, humanness, etc etc – Broad strokes. But at least you will begin to know what you are NOT wired for.
