ROCK BOTTOM............ THE PERFECT PLACE FOR REBUILD.

-
What happens when you get to work and you are told your services are no longer needed?...............In essence fired!

What happens when you invest all you had into a business and it collapses?

What happens when after many years of hard work and strive and yet there is nothing to show for it

What happens when the world treats you with disdain and disrespect like you are nothing?

What happens when situation bangs your head against the wall?

The answer is NEVER GIVE UP.

Am not writing from a perfect point of view.
Am actually writing from experience. I have experienced the lowest point of my life and I know someone maybe in that situation now.

Rock bottom is the lowest point of one's life. It's that stage of your life when everything seems never to work and you are down all by yourself.

Rock bottom is a terrible experience and most people at this point give up on life. Some commit suicide or even get dissociated from the world.

Being fully aware that rock bottom is the most terrible point of anyone's life, what should be done?

Be strong:
 That phrase is so easy to say and yet so difficult to act. But if you are not strong, who would be strong for you. You have to face life squarely.  Be strong to live life with a dogged attitude.

 There are a whole lot of individuals who are looking up to you. Do NOT fail them, Most importantly don't fail ME . Rise above your fears and fight back. When life hits you hard, hit it HARDER.

Be self motivated
At this point, you can't rely on people to motivate or inspire you. You have to be your own motivational speaker. Read books, listen to tapes, practice the act of speaking to yourself positively and finally bounce back to winning. The reason behind self motivation is to keep you strong with a positive attitude. 

Deploy strategic means of moving forward
The Good book says: 'write the vision, make it plain. So that he who runs will see it and run with it'. The purpose of writing down your goals is to give you a direction and a means to go forward.

You have to realize that failure on its own is a lesson and once you have learnt, you are ready to succeed better. Keep your eyes on the expected end and keep striving.

Rock bottom is indeed the perfect place for rebuild. Allow yourself the opportunity to enjoy the painful but yet rewarding process. 

Learn all the lessons there is to learn and restrategize never to fail again. Finally make a beautiful start.

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-
Image
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 same place can cause you

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

THE UNKNOWN CALL

I twisted to critically appraise my curves in the tall glass one last time. I had not watched television or gone on a proper date for over three months, not since work had become so demanding. Part of me still aggrandized the image of lying in bed, snacking on a good pan pizza and finally sleeping off on some random Netflix movies. I twitched the pleat on the skirt and adjusted the waist line. Needless to say, I looked good and the mental picture stuck. The buzzing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. My mind quickly raced to my date. His surname was yet to stick and so was my need to get seriously involved with another man. The caller was unknown and on sliding the green icon on the screen, his voice came live. ‘’Miss jones’’? Yes, speaking” ‘’I’m guessing you know miss Edith Uwaoma’’? Yes, I do, but who is on the line’’? The voice on the other end of the line was far from familiar. He said evasively, ‘’Please make your way to the hosp
