SWITCHING BATONS 2021... 2022

Image
    In 2021 I saw quite a number of funny memes implying “we are not sure we want to accept the New Year, because we don’t want to be shocked like the previous year(s)”.LoL Its true 2020 came with a shocker and 2021… Oh My Goodness… it was a rollercoaster of unexpected emotions. It was a big year for some and for others it was their lowest.  However, we move. A lesson I’ve learnt so far, is that happiness is a choice. No one can give you the kind of happiness you deserve. Think about it, when you think you have gotten to the point where you are your happiest, something from nowhere interrupts it and you’re down, you struggle to get back to that point or even past it and boom!!! it happens again… People will encourage you and cry with you but that’s all they can do. They cannot change your deep rooted feelings; it is something that is totally up to you. I don’t know how the previous year(s) has been for you, but if no one told has told you how proud they are of how you ...

DOES IT FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS?

Image
It’s no longer beginning to feel like Christmas. It is Christmas!!! In the spirit of Christmas I just want to drop a soft reminder; there’re many celebrating in smiles, others in tears and some others in a mixed feeling. To those celebrating in strength, remember many are fighting battles we know nothing about in this season; some are celebrating a first/ another Christmas without a loved one, some are far away from family for reasons beyond them, some have food and some have none, some are celebrating a first Christmas truly happy after a long time of unhappiness and some are just thankful. Whichever category you belong, the littlest we all can be is kind.  Be the best you can be to someone out there, spread love, spread positivity and genuinely laugh with many. Laugh so hard that your laughter becomes contagious, smile so much that many sad faces are forced to smile. Put on your best attitude, step out in style, chill like a big G (irrespective of your situation you're a ...

YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY…

 After my previous article, quite a number of people shared their experiences and how much they could relate with the feeling of exhaustion.  Someone said to me; “I have almost everything I need as at now, but there are many days it feels like I have nothing.  At times I wonder if I have a health challenge, or when/if I will get married, if I’m going make it through my next promotion, or if my business is even going to stand the test of time. ‘sighs deeply’ I’m not trying to sound pessimistic but these thoughts just pop up.” Are you like this person, have you asked yourself questions you can’t find answers to? Have you wondered if you’re losing your mind? Well, I need you to know that it’s humanly OK to sometimes wonder and ask yourself silent questions that leave you exhausted. Sometimes the slightest triggers   like having a baby, raising children, high pressure jobs, working at a job you hate, financial stress, poverty, wondering if you made the “right” c...

IT’S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY…

Have you ever been in a state where you feel exhausted even when you have not exerted yourself physically? Well, I bet we all have been there many times in our lives. Those days when you wake up fatigued even after sleeping many hours through the night.   There are several reasons why you could feel this way, but studies have shown that in very many cases, this feeling is as a result of mental exhaustion. Mental exhaustion could be as a result of over-working your mind on a particular issue thus exhausting all the options your mind can fathom. It could even result from the seeming impossibilities of bringing the many thoughts in your mind to reality. During my hiatus from writing, I met quite a number of people that were in this category and I got the opportunity to converse with them. A summary of our conversation often went in this line; Me: "Hey what's up, how are you? Them: Hmmm, i'm tired. Me: Awwn sorry, get some rest. Them: Mtshwww, even after resting ...

HELLO NOVEMBER...

Hi... Would it be right to say happy new year at this time of the year, or would saying welcome back be more appropriate? lol. Either ways thanks for coming back here and happy new month. So I have neither written nor published any article on my blog for some time now and all this while I have received various messages asking when I’d be back to this space. But oh my goodness!!! I can tell you one thing for sure, getting back to this point is easier said than done. At some point I began to feel guilty cause a lot of people sent honest feedbacks as to how motivated they felt reading from my blog and how they couldn't wait for the next article. To be honest, your feedbacks have made me feel honored and have inspired in me a sense of being bound to a responsibility. I sincerely appreciate every-one of you who take out time to read and share my post, if I’ve got a reason to back here, it is for YOU, Yes, You. You that took out time to motivate me to be back here and you that to...
