Overcoming anger.

             You're way too big! 

            Just one click, and you’re pissed off already...One reaction, and you’ve been taken off the hook....One word, and you’re swept off your feet.
             This is just one though. 
             Let’s assume you didn’t yield. Probably, you’re a bit stronger. However, sometimes it could be more. Your contenders may decide to take it a bit further. They give you in more doses, and how does it turn out? You get fed up, and, next thing, you blow up. You take everything and everyone down.
            Whichever scenario it is, why let them take the glory all the time? Why let them beat you hands down? Why let them push you to the wall?? Why let them get you annoyed?? Why let them drive you insane?
            And in just a minute more, you’re ranting all over. Losing control, like you never had the control before. You’re performing all sorts of stunts for the person who pressed that button. And in no time, you re-validate the tag they put on you before.
           Come on…we are talking about your life,friend. The one between you and your creator. Why let others guess it out for you? Why let them rule it for you?. Your life is unscripted, so don’t give the excuse of that’s how I am. You should work towards changing it. After all, we learn everyday.
           Many of the times, these things happen virtually. The more reason to take chill pills. The more reason to put off your data, toss your phone to the bedside, and say a silent prayer to God for more grace to phase through without giving in.
             Or at most, brush everything off with something lighter. But no, you wouldn’t do it. You know why?? You want to show that you have a perfect come back for the setback thrown at you🤦. You feel your ego is at stake, and you need to rescue it, before it’s buried. You think I have all the points to prove him wrong, so let me just roll them out anyway. Or more considerably, you say, I’ll just make this my last comment, and walk away.
      But no…it doesn’t happen that way. You know why?? Because everything doesn’t happen the way we plan it. You know that very well. Rain showing up as soon as you’re all set for an event reminds you of this everyday. The food vendor that doesn’t open after you have starved just to eat there reminds you of that too. What about when your mc for a party suddenly falls ill, and you have to substitute him/her with the last person to would have given that role. Or the day road traffic prevents you from meeting up with an event you spent a whole week planning for. You remember it all now?. That you really have little or no control over some things that happen in life?. And that is exactly how it plays out in the dispute. One thing leads to another, and before long, you’re washing your dirty linen in public once more. You’re giving them the credit again.
                Friend, jump very much higher than this level. You’re much bigger than this. How long would it take for you to come to this realization?. This one more time, don’t let them have their way. A lot of other things are begging for that attention you want to toss to that individual who doesn’t really need it. Don’t do this once more. There's more to life. Find them out, and give your attention to them. To be honest, practicing this is not easy, yeah, I can relate too😔. But let's take the decision first, and with God on our side, we'll get better at this🙌. Do take care and please share this post...the person by your side might need it😁. Your favourite writer, Joy💜.

Keeping the You alive.

                             Flowers, green grasses, and small clusters everywhere. It's an animal kingdom. A goat meets a fish, and they become friends. They come together, and discover their variances, as regards their way of living, habitat and all. Then one day, the goat begins to tell the fish, that if they must remain friends, the fish has to leave its own habitat, and come stay with the goat on land. What  do you think would happen if the fish, which is cut out to live in water, decides to please her friend the goat, and come to stay on land? Your guess is as good as mine.                In the above illustration, the goat, and the fish were the focus....In today's illustration, you are our focus.                   Your life is made up of dreams, values, beliefs, aspirations. Though some of yours could look like ...

A truth in time, saves lives.

                Make a mental scene of you, telling a lie about something to someone. After some time, you're now asked to reiterate or defend it before a large number of persons, and you do so, to save face. Next up, people have adopted the lie, and expect to see your life in that light. Let's just say this is the point  where you decide you're not returning back on your words. Somehow, you forge ahead. However, as much as you dreaded it, you finally get to that point where you can't keep up any more. You come face to face with your fears, and end up in a fix.  Pretty bad, innit? Most of the times, you either just sideline that life with no explanations, or you take the bold step of having to go back and tell everyone the truth. Thing is this. Why go through all of that in the first place??  One of the new year resolutions I made, is to be truthful to myself and others, come what may.  Reason?? For all that there is.  Yes...

Discipline.

 Hi there. Welcome back!🤗 Trust you have been good? Today, you would be learning something really crucial to your development as a person, and that is the art of discipline. Sincerely and soberly, How high have you been holding up your head in this area? Have you been taking charge of your responsibilities, or have they been making a mess of you? Well, by God's grace, you would stay in charge from today onwards.  _____________________________________________

How do you see humble beginnings??

             Frame It!!!....The best days are close already.           One day in my life, a long time after I had left secondary school, I was going through my school box, and lazily looking through all the last set of books I used during secondary school. Then I stumbled upon them. My different Journals and letters. The letters included those that were written to me, and those I failed to give out, due to lack of courage or any other reason. Boom! I sat down there and began to read. I've always loved reminiscence and reading with all my heart. So, I seamlessly spent quite sometime on that spot, reading those stuff, and trust me, I had a swell time. I laughed so hard, and I pinched myself at  different times. I am sure, you can guess the reason by now. Damn!...I felt stupefied and really surprised. For the letters I wrote, I kept on asking no one in particular..."Did I ever draft this?", "Like, Who does this? For those ...
