I hope you are inspired by the lines of this write up. Had it run all over my head as i woke up one evening. ******           ****** This piece,that piece And this one..that other one too What is going on? Is there a switch somewhere? How many shades will I see? How long will it take? With different intentions Yet expressing different actions Is it because of my attention? Whats going on? On this minute,Off the next High this minute,Low the next All alive this minute,all down-low the next  (Is there ever going to be a day that I'll be totally 'alive'?) Is there a switch somewhere? The good side,and then the less good The friendly side,and then the less friendly How many shades will I see? Been on this for a really long time Had a hope of a time to celebrate it Right now I'm thinking; How long will it take? (Smiling) But I'll keep on walking I'll keep on walking with my limp Ain't I got a whole life ahead? I will do better t...

Loyalty  is faithfulness or a  devotion  to a  person ,  country , group, or cause.  Its looking into something you are convinced you should be doing and staying true to that cause. This lesson was interesting for me because God kindof took me back to the case of Ruth,Naomi and Opah in the bible. Ruth happen to be a blessed  woman with two sons. She had all things going good/well for her until a disaster she had not prepared for came upon her household. First,her husband died,then her sons-these happen to her in another land-her husband moved the whole household to a foreign land. He probably had some new business deal there or life was supposedly going to be more palatable there. Now she was left with no one but her daughters-in-law.What a loss? It was like everyone she has ever loved for a tangible responsible period of her life is gone. Everyone she could possible resonate with was no more. They weren't traveled,they weren't living in some other ...

Its exactly one week since the time I should have put out this piece.I had it hanging there in my dashboard.I had to jump off my bed to put it up right now;realizing how procrastination can can stop you from reaching your goals.How it can cling to you so closely that your dreams sleep off. How that one has to keep fighting to do what you ought to do is what this teaches me! #Much remorse right now_sad face. Hope you catch the lesson in this piece :) Personal Growth. Hmm,this very part!!! Very few things beat personal growth in life. This one hit me real big in 2015. For real, very few things beat personal growth.  In fact I believe its the key to any form of greatness(multiple success). If you are like me whom is the last child,you are probably already used to depending on others or like allowing things just happen and not 'taking charge'. Or maybe its not just a last child thing,its a normal thing that happens to everyone(at least at some point or the other). ...

In this time where everything is on the fast lane; fast food, microwave cooking and, if you are a student like me,you would probably also rush for classes, its very easy to pay little or no attention to details.  Details are the core or connecting dots in attaining true or in-dept understanding.They are those tiny information that are easily waved off or shoved off.  Paying attention to details helps us to do things thoroughly and thus get the very best of it. Most people do not like paying attention to details and some unknowingly don't because they claim there's no time or are not ready to 'slow down'. Paying attention requires time and patience.  The thing is, the things you take quality time to do usually pays off on the long run.Whatever you get the 'true feel' of sticks with you longer. It comes in 2 forms: REFLECTION - ruminating on your past experiences and making sense out of them for your growth or future life before ...

There are 7.4 billion people on earth. Findings say adults make 35,000 decisions daily while babies make 3000 decisions(you didn't know that,did you?). About 3.2 billion fall within the age range of 15-44years of age. Very few things bring life and excitement or enthusiasm like a new idea you think is so great. It could almost take all your attention and mind.You can almost have an 'action rush' , as you would go all the way out just to get your idea to come into reality. Note that an action rush is different from a 'steady build '. Like any other great thing in life, challenges,especially unprecedented will arise (many of them disrupting your plan!) I came to realize that nothing beats a person who not just has an idea but knows God. I got to this point in 2015 where I just had to settle to really find my God and grow my faith. What exactly does it mean to know God? Knowing God is like enlarging your understanding of God and establishing a personal strong be...

Hi hi hi!!! Its been a while yeah? Yes I know. But i am excited to be here. I am working on a series of 10 lessons I learnt in 2015. In a nutshell though, I learnt to speak from been silent I learnt to be silent form speaking I learnt to pay attention from neglecting I learnt to neglect from paying attention I learnt to smile beyond the pain I learnt to go on my knees(pray) I learnt to trust God It was really a defining year for me. Like, every of God's word made so much sense like never before. Okay,let me stop there...  I should be releasing them from Wednesday 20th. Never stop praising God regardless of what's going on. Have a grateful heart for whatever little you have. Remember~ All things work together for good for those that love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose .-Romans 8:28. :) P.S: I had the opportunity to serve in my church at school,that's how I got to learn certain things. So,get a place of worship to serve God; God's go...

World's AIDS Day.Marked every annually in 1st December.  I got to know about this day through a student Medical Association in my uni called 'EMSA' (European Medical Student Association). Somehow I got really interested in been actively involved this year in my own little way. (Though this is coming a little late,its been hanging in my dashboard since 31stNov.) Just a short overview of what its about: Its that day of the year that had been set out since 1988 to raise an awearness on HIV and show support for people living with  HIV. Usually a theme is chosen for this campaign following consultation with UNAIDS,WHO and other agencies to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. Since 2011 the theme for World's AIDS Day has been 'Getting to Zero: Zero new HIV infections. Zero deaths from AIDS-related illnesses. Zero discrimination. There's  this red ribbon thats used as a default sign of support: I especially want to write about Zero discrimination. Discrimination is...
