ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO....

Image
 How does 2018 look in your mind's eye? As Earl Nightingale said, we become what we think about. Before the whole goal planning for the new year, it's important that you think what you plan. You can't plan A and your thoughts say B, you'll definitely have B as your reality. Now let's make 2018 great with the following steps. Start by feeding your thoughts it's actual reality . You want a year full of impact, think it. Those words ''If you can think it, you can do it'', is actually true. Make it your reality by aiding your goals through positive thoughts. Change those habits that ain't yielding positive results . Adopt a new positive habit one at a time. Make a conscious effort at changing those bad habits (You don't need to be told this). Always remember that good habits are difficult to form but easy to live with while bad habits are the opposite. For example, waking up early is difficult but it'

 2018.......................90% Wow, 2017 did pass so fast. So many memories. I think I started off the year really bad (how many can relate to this?). I wrote off 2017 so fast and never expected anything good from the year but as they say "you can never tell when it happens" If I have learnt one thing in 2017, it's to be positive and always stay hungry . After all. 2017 is ending so good and I couldn't be less thankful. In as much as 2017 has taught me a lot, It also gave me a clearer picture as to what life as an independent adult looks like. Most of all I'm grateful I survived and I'll continue to do so. Life does offer us lemons you know. Some times we are faced with so bitter an experience that the only option we see is to give up (I can't count how many times I wanted to pack my things and move back to my parent's place), but we push through and refuse to be termed average. This is actually the first time I'm excited

CLUELESS...

Image
We stand together, striving to achieve one goal called survival. Suddenly we realize we move just in the opposite direction of our acclaimed missions. The creator's creation chooses the mundane over  the valid statements proved in  parchments written by men unknown. What did we  pledge to believe? Who orchestrated the standard of belief and made strong the assumptions of men. Who could have borne the responsibility of the  questions that surround  the imperfections we see or the absurdity that has swallowed the said reality of mortals. Its all patterned in a wave of unknown mysteries. The dry mass of hardened human matter which seemed to be the only source of connection to many questions unanswered lies buried deep on a surface sparsely scattered with dirt. We plead with a community of the down trodden, seeking freedom from abused human behavior, legacies,  tradition and ways which proved to be non adaptive. Who would plead our case and fight the course of men who had

LETTER TO AREWA

Image
Dear Arewa It's been months since death took you away. I lost my entire world the day I lost you. I remember the way you smile and close your eyes to fight tears cause you laughed deeply from your heart.  Arewa, It's been cold since you left, the world has lost it's color and I can only wish to join you. I watched you every evening when you returned from work. Your face bore the perfect charm even in your tiredness.  For every time I waved at you, Arewa you waved back with a smile so perfect like that of an angel. I always planned for the day I would talk to you. I imagined you thought me to be a dumb, but my guts always failed me each time I ever wanted to try.  I wrote you a note but each time I gave myself one excuse or the other not to give it to you. I felt you were just too perfect for any human not to talk of me.  My thoughts were true after all. I waited on that Thursday evening for you to pass. I had made up my mind to tell you how I felt. Taking your

What is friendship

Like they say "lots of water has gone under the bridge" and so has many defined friendship to suite  themselves. Now my question is: Who is really a friend? Is friendship really needed? Why are good friends so hard to come by? Are there really loyal friends I've though and thought of thousand of reasons why humans behave the way they do. In earnest we all do need friends even if not many but one true friend. The world is crazy enough for a person to be alone. We need each other without the back biting, hatred, jealousy and envy.  I need YOU and you need ME. Indeed friendship is sweet and should be tasted by all.  Do you want to be a true friend? I stand for friendship, I stand for togetherness, I stand for winning together. I don't know how far this article goes but if I'm able to pierce through one heart to truly open up to true friendship. To truly allow love to reign. Let the word friendship mean something to you a

                                         EPISODE 3 Osaro slowly walked towards the gate and back to his car. His face bore a lustrous expression with a hint of doubt. He made his way back into the hotel lobby thinking if it was ''Nma'' he just encountered. Sweeping the thoughts away, he rejoined his friends                     ..................................................................................... Purple, going through the pictures from Saturday's shoot was impressed. Mike had sent her some of the footage from the shoot and she was pleased with the job he was doing.One thing she had in common with Mike was his ability to deliver hundred percent at all time. A smile played on her face as she remembered how they met.  She met him at a fashion show organized by one of the clothing line she worked for. His dedication to work even when others played at the shoot attracted her to him and after a slight misunderstanding with one of his ca

DRINK IN THE PROCESS.

I pushed through the last set of the sit ups with excruciating pain. I had completed 80 reps already and had 20 more to go. I looked at my tummy, (Gosh !) I didn't see no abs popping out. I've been on this ''abs acquisition'' thing since September and yet I didn't have anything to show for it. So many times I wanted to quit but the mental picture of the way I wanted to be kept me motivated.  I finally finished and went straight to the shower. As usual most inspiration and ideas comes while I shower (who else can relate). While bathing  the sentence "Drink in the process" kept ringing in my head. I actually paused to think  about it, then I realized what it meant. Imagine this...... In September, I decided I wanted to have abs and a toned body. I started working out almost every day to achieve my goals. Every exercise I engaged in was solely to achieve my goals. Now when I thought about the sentence "Drink in
