Stay in touch

-
They say, "out of sight is out of mind." The more I give this thought, the more I appreciate the value of keeping those close to me at heart.
There is an evolution of a standard that we now brand as human where we say do not contact them not until they make an initiative. That could sound like a good approach to silent people but no its not. The truth is it breeds a whole new level of distance in relationships be it family, friends, workmates and the list goes on.
Coping with insensitive people or rather the un bothered type can be derailing especially when you live by the peace talk and dialogue approach in life.  Teaching one to always stay in touch with people is a choice. You either try to do it or you do not try at all. Our lives are daily comprised of choices and caring about others is one of the best choices we can ever make.
There is so much peace in knowing that you have invested a great deal of your time in people. It could be a text but you can trust it will speak volumes. It could be a phone call that will simply turn someone's day into a much better day. It might be a visit that just brings back all the peace and comfort that has been absent for a while. I could go on and on about the refreshing impact of keeping in touch.


 I am not perfectly good at this myself but I must admit some really close people in my life have brought me to a realization that life will not only rotate around us. The more we engage into community, family and general society, we gradually appreciate the diverse life stories we hear and experience.
I always want to finish with what a scripture says and here is one of those that highlight our need to look out for others besides just living in our own world.
Galatians 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. Bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.

Life in color♥️💕🌈

Not so long ago, I informed a friend that life without color for a lady is plain. He seemed not to see it that way. Perhaps not every lady. The era of makeup does throw a bit of light onto that statement.  We choose how we want to see life. For some of you, if the music stops playing, then your rhythm will stop while for someone else they still have a continued rhythm even without a sound. It is how I visualize life in my head without the actual crayons. I have attended events that have allowed me to experience variations in choices of color and artistry. You can tell the character of a person by what they surround themselves with. For my case, I love a good quality book for a journal with pages that will keep me writing. I enjoy the feel of a good pen as I write my thoughts. Such is the same with life, surround yourself with what articulates your personality. Hang with friends that add impact to you, people that won't judge you when you chose to dance naked in the rain. Sit wi...

Your Appeal

Hello! Anyone!? Are you there? Come and lets share our random thoughts. So how about we talk about perception and how people make conclusion of who you really are. After a long time now, I have gradually come to understand we are surrounded by people with different personalities. Do not spend your life expecting everyone to see life the way you see it. Let us start by saying you always need to be able to present yourself in a way that appeals to many. However, you need to understand that when I say appeal, I’m referring to the different ways you need to present yourself. There is that office appeal, there is the home appeal, and there is the social circle appeal, the church, the international and so forth. You don’t have to pull off an act everyday just so you can fit into your circles. The second you start your conversation, people are watching you and listening carefully for what is coming out of you. Now for people like me, I will probably listen more to get...

What is your personality like?

-
When you s ay that someone has a "good personality" that implies they are likable, interesting and pleasant to be with.  I have often lived my life with a high belief that I ought to try and make others comfortable but quite often it is mistaken for trying to please people. This is where we lose track of the good motive and people take for granted the niceness presented before them. In the industry that I currently work in, it is very important to establish relationships with people. Once you establish the relationship, retention of the clients is a no brainer. The one thing I am sure of about social connection is that there is value addition that will be a constant at all times even when events go sour. Once you have something of value benefit from the other party, you will always have a reason small or big to try and make things right.  Build up on your character on a daily. Work out something that nurtures your relationship abilities. Aim at listening to peopl...
