LOOK ON THE INSIDE

Image
        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...

LIVE IN THE NOW

Image
  “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...

COMMITMENT AS A FOUNDATION

Image
                                        “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...

UNCHAIN YOURSELF

Image
      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...

WALK YOUR OWN WALK

Image
  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...

ATTITUDE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Image
               All birds find shelter when it is raining while eagles soar higher in the clouds to avoid the rain.  Problems are common, but attitude makes the difference. The rain can dampen the soil at will, but it cannot dampen your spirit without your will.     We have one freedom inside of us that nobody can take away, the freedom of attitude in any given circumstance. Life basically gives us two choices; a positive and negative attitude. People with a negative attitude can only seek and see the dark side of life. A positive attitude lets you develop the courage and determination to be committed to want to do and where you want to go in life. Within your mind is Mr. Positive and Mr. Negative at constant battle in your head, and guess who wins? The one you feed the most! Your mind believes whatever you tell it, feed it faith, love, hope, and the truth. You shouldn’t give circumstances the power to rouse anger for they don’t ca...

WE CAN BE REBORN

Image
                              Phoenix birds also known as frame birds, are legendary birds from ancient Greek folklore which are associated with the sun, they burn from the heat of the sun fanned by their own wings, and rise from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle. They are birds which are periodically reborn or regenerated. They symbolize rebirth, renewal and uniqueness. Given their uniqueness, it's  quite amazing how we have as much capability or even more.       The power that we have as humans is the power to control whatever goes on in our minds. We have the capability to expand and limit ourselves at any time we want. We can be good and we can be bad too. No one holds the label as good or bad. Your past or last failure doesn't determine the next person you can be. We are capable of changing within every se...
