GET OFF THE SPECTATOR SEAT! ! !

-

Our everyday life choices matters alot. The choices we make towards our dreams, our visions and life generally are very important and a determining factor of who we are. But what really counts is the choice we have towards life in particular. You have the choice to act upon life or allow life to merely act upon you. 
                   It's easier to choose the former (Acting upon life), but it's our everyday activities and outcomes that are the true representative of what we actually have settled for. 
Life can be depressingly sad. It's not enough that news of natural disaster hits the ear almost every now and then but the appalling situation of things is not helping matters at all. I must appluade your courage to read through this column (even without brightly coloured paintings and pictures) cause it's really not easy. Life has a way of silently and persistently telling us we can't go any futher. The means to our big dreams crushing right infront of our eyes. Opportunities only reserved for a selected few.
                   I know that majority of people in the world sincerely want to do good things and be known for great things. We desperately ask ourselves if there is more we can give to life or more to contribute to humanity.
   Isn't it true?
The world can make boast of great people who in times past wrought unimaginable initiatives, proved certain ideologies to be obtainable. Talented Scientists who made pivotal discoveries, Doctors who performed hard procedures, going through all the risks involved yet coming out successful. There are so many wonderful success stories in the world. Most of these people achieved their greatest feats deciding daily to act upon life. To make life choices that are purpose oriented. They lived their lives based on the timeless principles of vision, humility, perseverance, courage, vision, empathy, innovation and integrity. 
                    You can be one of such persons. Life may not offer you the best you need but you have to make do with the little or nothing you have. (If life offers you lemons, you make lemonades out of 'em. I'm sure you've heard of this before). 
It's easier to observe from a distance and keep planning and wishing for things to turn out for the best. The truth is that it may never change. Trying to figure out how to act upon life in the midst of difficulties is the best kind of mindset. 
                     Get off the spectator seat and make those baby steps towards achieving your dreams and oneday you will be strong enough to pull someone else up. Value the days of your early beginnings that are filled with struggles, frustrations and many failed attempts to quit. They polish you to shine more. Your best feats can never be performed in your yesterday, give today  an opportunity for success. 
                     Become the creative force of your own life and your future. Take 100% responsibility of your daily life choices and choose to live based on the timeless principles. You have talents and visions that are exclusive to only you. Coupled with experiences you have gathered over the years that has amounted to a wealth of knowledge. Use them to improve your life and the life of others. 
                    Above all, choose to act upon life (decide on what you get out of life and not the other way round). Live a meaningful and purpose filled life and you'll be guaranteed of joy, peace of mind and greater fulfillment no matter how little the things you have chosen are. 
                                                           
       Thank you so much for reading and have a super blessed day! 
                                                                                   
                                                                                Love you'll ! ! !

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-

We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the ...

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with ...

ARE YOU READY 😇😇😇

Recently I just discovered something about relationships. It had not really occured to me but I started noticing it lately and I just had to address it. The way people take relationship these days is so baffling. They wake up one morning and out of nowhere they want to be in a relationship. (like it's a child's play or it's worth nothing). The way people prepare for marriage should be the way they should prepare for relationships, since its the first step to marriage. In my own opinion, marriage and relationships are basically the same thing except for the intimacy/sex (which happens in most relationships now and that does not mean it's right) and the blessings from a Priest. The other things are basically the same thing. Being in a relationship entails so much. It's not just a fling, hearts are involved, emotions, ideas, sharing of visions and goals. People in relationships virtually plan their lives together and impact each other directly or indirectly. Am ju...
