I’M ALIVE Consumed by the determination to not only archive my thoughts but also improve on my writing prowess, I decided to build a blog. It was a simple task to carry out. In point of fact, it took me less than an hour to get the blog running. And with the help and motivation of a dear friend, I created a content calendar and publishing schedule. For the first few weeks, I was consistently writing, editing, designing post covers, publishing and even sharing on my other social platforms. However, just like many of the other things I have been involved in, I fell short. I missed one posting day, then skipped one week, one month, one year, and now it has been 2 years! It has been two years friend; two whole years since I published anything on this blog I created, with so much enthusiasm. The truth is that I never for once forgot that I had a blog that needed my attention. I had content ideas and topics I had written down which never appeared on the blog. No, I was not sick, I was no...

SPECIAL SUNDAY - Ye are gods!

3 ATTRIBUTES OF GOD A PERSON OF VALUE MUST POSSESS. 1. CREATIVITY: Innovation is a habit of God. He is a lover of creativity, and as such, science and technology are part of His plan for mankind. He bestowed upon every man the spirit of creativity so that man would continue the work of creativity from where He stopped. Creativity is the ability to perceive a need and develop strategies to solve that crisis. It starts from the mind – as an idea.  After it is birthed as an idea, it is spoken, just like God did in the book of Genesis. Ideas spoken out are not meant to be used to brag, but they are spoken with understanding of the power of words, and for the purpose of affirmation. Creativity is spiritual; constant affirmation stirs up the mind, building the faith that a seemingly impossible idea can become a reality.  If you want to be successful in life, you must endeavor that your thinking is not enclosed in a box – think without a box. Creativity is a spark....

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

INTRODUCTION  One vital aspect of our lives as human beings is the mental aspect;  unfortunately,  it is the most overlooked. It is no joke when the researchers say that well over 450 million people of the world's population is plagued with one disorder or another. Furthermore, one in four persons globally, suffer from a mental disorder at some point of their life. This is what the typical Nigerian calls "The 5 minutes madness". Owing to misinformation and the lack of urgency, many people do not seem to even know that they are victims of mental disorder. We hold an untrue believe that it is only when a person roams naked on the streets that he/she is considered mentally unhealthy. On the other hand, it is interesting to know that some of the strange attitudes we portray, but yet ignore are signs of disorders which tend to worsen if not attended to and may result in depression and suicidal thoughts. According to Wikipedia, mental health is the level of ps...

ENTITLEMENT MINDSET (Part 4)

   If you followed this entitlement series from the First Part  and observed from the  Part Two that you have an entitlement issue, here are 5 steps you can take in order to curb the mentality. Be open to reality: There are two realities that a person with an entitlement mindset ought to accept. First that you actually have an issue that needs your attention and second that no one owes you anything. If you want to come out of the web of entitlement,  you have to admit that entitlement sense is an error  that needs to be corrected. Reminiscing on the dangers of this mindset and realizing that you possess it will propel you to act on the other steps. Furthermore, you also need to chew and digest the truth that "No one owes you anything and the things you have are mere privileges". This believe is not meant to cause an undeserving feeling, but to make you appreciate whatever you are opportune to have. Put yourself in other people's shoes: En...

DANGERS OF AN ENTITLEMENT MINDSET Have you ever lost something of great value because of something else that probably matters less? Simi Odunmi, popularly called Boss Lady is a branch manager at Vetcom Solutions, a cooperation she joined barely a year ago. From childhood, Simi had always gotten whatever she wanted, in any way possible; so, scaling to the top of the ladder in such a short time was not surprising to folks who knew Simi. Simi is the perfect definition of bossy and whenever she wanted something, she went for it and got it. Although, this attitude is the major reason behind her success, but you know what they say 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Simi did not notice that her attitude was damaging to her personality. This made it difficult for people to stay around, and as such she did not have any friends. Simi was the head of a branch with a 9 man team. She paid little or no attention to the needs and suggestions of her team, since she felt that s...

AFTER HE LEFT

I am seated on my bed, wide awake in the middle of the night. I am not working, neither am I watching a late night movie. I did not take coffee either, I am just awake - thinking about Relationships! Relationships!! Relationships!!! At times, I wonder why people assume that everyone in their life is replaceable. Thus, they tend to push away the ones who care about them. Sadly, they lose them (the ones who care), before they (the ones who push away), realize what they have done. A lot has happened in such a short while. I was asleep, but his call woke me up. He called to tell me that he misses me. Scoffs , so he does? Okay, I guess you are confused, so I'll start from the very beginning. I met him during the second semester of my second year in the university. At that time, I was not cut in for any relationship. But there was something  about Teddy, I still find it hard to figure out.  He was humorous, cute and had a lovely smile that could melt even the coldest ...
