Daily Thoughts

When people go up the ladder, let it be your opportunity to be inspired. I have seen many of my friends renovate their lives and take on positions that I so dearly admire. They are either outside this country, married, holding a unique post in some companies; some are entrepreneurs, spiritual warriors, and great mentors and name it. My reflections after saying this are centered on the inner voice that speaks daily within me and the echo is so clear. Sometimes it’s like a whisper and I find myself lost in imaginations of what could have been, how it should be, or if it would be. I really don’t like that feeling. If I let it go on, it only stirs up self pity.  I believe by now many of us have to daily identify how best we can navigate through life. Even after you see the compass and seem to know the direction, you still come back at the crossroads and pause to ask more questions before you decide to advance. Why do I bring up this subject today? I have purposed to speak ...

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29 Your conversation will either build or break someone. I know as a girl or let us say female, I love to talk. Many times I have come to realize that I can go for long hours without stopping. There are those times when a topic is so juicy that you have reference for every statement made by someone. Do you ever stop to think if you are off topic? Yes, I do. That moment is when I actually realize that I am either starting to sound boring or totally off topic. Why am I bringing this up? Good communication is not about using the best diction there is or having the best constructed paragraphs. A good conversation is one that is directed towards benefiting the listener and not the speaker. This therefore calls for well furnished conversations and this is what I term as objective conversation. We need to have ...

It is a wonderful feeling to get approval when you take a decision or make a choice. The world is full of different people with diverse ideas and all sorts of creativity. So how do you know if you are on track? Good question! I have learned from personal experience that certain events will occur in our lives so we are furnished for the times ahead. Do not be in a hurry to condemn yourself. God gives many of us second chances but we remain in denial because of self condemnation. God's grace is sufficient for all situations. Allow yourself to take one step at a time. Learn from your mistake. Ensure to always have plan B when A fails. Seek counsel, make reference to previous attempts. So let's all be patient with ourselves and let's take one step at a time.

I really thought very lowly of myself in the past with no confidence that people really cared about me. I cared about people from a distance with a wish that they would know how much I cared but in vain.  When I look back, I was simply living in denial. It has gradually dawned on me that the choice to invite people into my life is mine. We each have a choice to be there for someone or distance ourselves from them. Life comes with diverse opportunities that we can make use of. We all have what it takes to build great networks. Social gatherings, family events and our corporate circles come with all kinds of opportunities.  T he bible makes it clear that God too does not want us to walk alone. He will always walk wit h us wherever we go and with whom . Joshua 1:9 New International Version (NIV) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the  Lord  your God will be wi...

Balancing your life with God Our  daily lives are comprised of a consistent effort to figure out who we are, where are we heading, our purpose, our achievements, our goals,  name it. It is in those times that you seem to have another party talk to you. It comes off as a silent whisper but it is real. It may not be a person physically talking to you..it is a still and calm voice. I have learnd overtime when you delight yourself in the Lord, He works towards fulfilling your heart's desire.  That still quite voice is the voice of God. When you pray and seek Him, He will find you. How then will you know it's  God? That is the beautiful part. Pray and read your bible. Hang around people who will enrich you with motivation and inspire you. Your life is a daily act of worship. Let your worship be excellent. Balance God in all your equations. 

So a team of people I had just met after I was recently added to whatsApp group were all geared to making an event happen. Bring this.. bring that and so forth. Question was who will bring what?? So the event passed anyway… but I was inwardly furious because the so many promises were not fulfilled. The big realization was not so many people will keep their word. Some will make empty promises to keep up appearances or make a false reputation. (Let me pause for a bit….I hope you have not seen me as one of those. If yes, my earnest apologies) I used to be the shy type when it came to speaking out my mind. I always respect and value other people’s feelings. That is what some of us would refer to as being sensitive. Let us not pretend. Someone I know once told me never to be embarrassed to name and shame and that was one big lesson to embrace. These team agendas always come with merits and demerits. The saying goes too many cooks spoil the broth and truly some team work wil...

  This feeling can start from an early age. Even a three year old will admire some one who is wearing a beautiful gown. It is a sweet feeling of admiration and you may not be  the first to get this feeling... and surely you will not be the last. its feel like such a generational thing... I always wished i would be a brides maid and sadly i went through school till the university without knowing the feeling of being one. I have always reasoned that it is possible that i was not the ideal candidate according to the brides i know and the last reason for me, maybe i am not as beautiful as the other girls..lol (that is actually my bottom line reason of why i think i was never picked) I personally think this is a sweet feeling that every girl should embrace. Let it be. i personally love to attend weddings and being the emotional type, i cry a lot during some of these speech sessions with a bit of me hoping no one around me has noticed but i'm sure some of these awkward moments d...

 GOD gives us friends so we can share  So the day i met my best friend,,,, He asked me to play a game with him. The saying goes two heads are always better than one. Truly this invitation  was the beginning of a friendship that saw this saying come to life, We have known each other for more than 6 years and we are now celebrating the request i never thought would yield into such a strong and loving bond. He has become the friend i tell my secrets, i tell him all the awkward moments i have when no one notices. He will tell me about so many things like we are on the same couch and yet we are miles and oceans apart. I write this today because i am celebrating this friend. God will always bring people into your life that will transform you and God intends these kind of people to also be blessed by you. Its not a give and take and take process. it is a sharing process.  Have you taken the time to thank GOD for the friends he brings into your life? have you ta...
