THE SIGHT

     We all have those “us” who are visible to the eyes of people and then those “us” who can only be seen by our own eyes alone and our creator. Our own eyes are usually suppressed by society’s lay out format of living, expressing ideas, and voicing inner thoughts, history made by our own heroes, our own kinsmen mindsets and our ignorance too, plays a big role. We are convinced of how beauty, genius, success and many others should look like. We move steadily on motivational words, foundations, said and set respectively, by those before us and take them to heart. We forget that these individuals were also discovering themselves, navigating life like many of us. They were on a journey they did not know where it would lead them, it was an experience. Those, whose experience, is meant to take us out, sometimes keeps us guarded and acts as a limitation. Now, we have chosen  to watch  from the sidelines. Caging oneself inside because of other people’s limited sig...

        Look within you, what’s that that you’re hiding from the rest of the world that only you know about? Is there any chance that it keeps you up in the night while others sleep, like a dream unfinished? And during the day you barely concentrate? Your also afraid of bringing it out because of fear of judgment, losing friends and family, financial support, job and much more. The only question though, if you were to expose it, would the possible consequences be worth it after all?       We are fond of living life like we have a second chance of living it all over again in this present world, yet we all know that when we are on our death beds that’s when we actually realize that we should have taken the risky anyway, we should have lived anyway. Life is very important and good, especially when you live it like your life and not someone else’s life.        Be true to yourself because that’s what m...

  “Forever is composed of now’s” Emily Dickinson    Living in the now is the ability to take in all there is in the present, and welcome it with an open heart and mind without cheating your present with the past or future. Often, we lie to ourselves to be living in the now yet in all truth, we live in the past and the great imagination of the future. We are often more frightened of our own imagination than the reality we experience than we care to admit.   The presence of a thrilling and tranquil life is as a result of living in the breath, and that’s the art that a few have been able to master.  We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us, being absent in the present that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are. And at the end of the day, we live with a haunting past, a judging conscious of what we were not able to accomplish when we could, and the opportunities we missed yet they were right before our eyes, and by our own minds we limit ourselv...

                                        “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy.” W.H Murray.     Commitment is a big part of what you are, and what you believe. The quality of life you live is in direct proportion to your commitment to excellence, regardless of your chosen field of undertaking. Love, work, life and friendship have to contain a foundation of commitment.      Commitment brings sacrifices which you will have to deal with during difficult times. It is an act not simply a word. It is a serious, long-term promise you make and keep with yourself and others to fully dedicate yourself even when times are tough. Uncommitted spirits cannot yield from the word because commitment needs perseverance, respect, patience and a lot of trials.      Productivity is not an accident; it is always a result of excellence...

      Globally, we humans have   mastered the art of slavery of our own lives, living under the masks of our own creation, and have since then been dead yet still breathing. Living like prisoners under our own roofs and holding our heads high in the name of" it is all well" yet in the inside we are crying for freedom. What a pity! It is really sad how we have been pushed by situations and some people until we have lost sight of our own lives. We have now mastered a certain pattern that we are living, we are tired of dreaming, we no longer believe, we are full of resentment and bitterness and more often, we have suicide knocking on our doors with open hands. And to those who have totally lost hope, we welcome it in a blink of an eye.       Often, we have been thrown in such situations after we have met our worst fears which we have deemed solution-less. After this, we lose purpose, become our own enemy and beyond this, we live a chained life. Eve...

  More often we are drawn away from our own self-importance as a result of comparing ourselves to the person next to us, due to society or our own selves. We are more worried about how we can be like them, achieve what they have achieved, live life like the way they are living it, and most times we succeed in doing just that. We live on earth with our bodies present doing the actions of the other person, closing the door to our own creativity of all kind that lies in each one of us, and guess what happens, we live the life of another person and by that, we succeed in throwing our own selves   away like we do not matter. Many times, we live life trying to convince ourselves that we are not cowards or we can do better than the people we are comparing ourselves to, and we forget that we should walk our own walk. I believe we should look at other people’s best versions as away of finding inspiration and not comparison. We should be more courageous enough to walk our own path and...
