KEYS TO A HAPPY LIFE 2.

                KEYS TO A HAPPY LIFE.

               So friend, picking up from where we left off, here are the remaining tips I thought to share with you. Let's ride!🏄‍♂️

• ENCOURAGE OTHERS:


  Everyday, we meet weak people. We see persons struggling with the level we scaled years before. We come across persons fighting battles we fought and overcame a long time ago. In our classrooms, on social media, in our areas of interest or career, and just everywhere.
            You remember how hard it was for you trying to start out?. Or maybe yours was bliss at the beginning. Yeah, it happens. You had no stress starting out. Probably, you were surrounded by the right persons, or you were just blessed. That’s a very nice one.  You're one of the very few, and I am happy for you🙌.
             However, that person by you, does not have it all rosy, and you know it. The newbie by you is having a really hard time figuring everything out, and you’re aware. What are you doing about it?. Why not dish out some tips that will help?. How about you say some nice words when the person comes to you with complaints, and threats of falling out?
             On one of the virtual platforms I'm in, someone raised an issue, that her friend was having a hard time stopping masturbation, and she asked for advice on how she could about ending it. And a lot of persons poured out advice, scriptural references, and tips they saw as useful. However, what caught my attention, was a lady who owned up to being there before, and related personal measures that helped her stop. Trust me, that would sound the loudest in the ear of that victim. It would speak "you are not alone". It would also say  "If I can stop it,  you can too!" 💆‍♀️
          That is exactly how life is. You who has been there before, should encourage more. Same goes to you who has not been there before. Just speak grace. Remember, we all venture into new things everyday. Be to others what you want them to be to you. When you encourage, and put a smile on someone’s face, double or more smiles will plaster yours soonest.

• BE HUMBLE AND APOLOGIZE ASAP:


            Yeah..you heard that clearly. Apologize as soon as possible. Don't wait any second. You know why?..The next moment, you're analyzing the issue, and finding out new reasons why you are not wrong. Yeah..you may not be wrong in the end, but why not say sorry first?. That way, you err on the side of abundance. Whichever way the issue turns out in the end, you're not a debtor.
          Be humble. Life could be really funny. It gives a lot of shocks with no shock absorber, such that if we're not prepared, we'll definitely be thrown off balance.  Remember, we all are still going through life with blind folds. We have no guarantee of what the future holds. Even though many a times we sneak a peak, and have a glimpse, however, till that moment comes, it has still not come, and anything could happen. Tables could turn, so learn to live in the moments. Stop treating people based on what you see yourself as tomorrow. Please don't get me wrong. You’re free to think big, aim for the moon, and land amongst the stars and all others, which I also do. But while doing those, respect today. Respect the level people are in today, and respect them like you’ve already seen their great tomorrow. There is no better path to humility. This phase too, we’ll overcome. Let’s just pull through it the right way.
         These are the little gifts I could help you with, to ensure you navigate this course successfully and safely . Please use them now, and ever. Meanwhile, I’m done. Thank you for today again, and thanks for the last time too. I look forward to seeing you some other time. Input your email address into the subscribe tab, so you get the first heads-up, when next I make a post. Do stay safe, and take care. Your favourite writer, Joy💜.

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 ...

On Comparison: What Reliance isn't seeing.

 So what is it? RELIANCE : I've not been feeling so fine lately. My health has been deteriorating without mercy. Of recent, I've had to visit the hospital twice for tests, to reassure myself that I'm not actually a sickler. VALERIE : Okayyyy...your OCD won this time around. RELIANCE : Stop it. You would have done the same if you were in my shoes. VALERIE : Oya now, no vex ma. RELIANCE : See ehn, that is not even my issue. So many things have been on my mind lately. VALERIE: (Sitting up) Hmmmm...Do you mind sharing? RELIANCE : Not really. Errhm...do you remember Ola? The girl we used to call smallie dah year? VALERIE: (Thinking aloud) Smallie...Ola...who...wait, wait, the one from our secondary school? RELIANCE : Ehen!( claps her hand)...I saw her.

Keys To A Happy Life

                           Let's talk, friend... What really do you plan to use all of those compliments which you've bottled up within yourself to do??. Let me guess...maybe save them all up till you're able to buy a fortune with it? Funny, right??..But this bothers me pretty much, so you have to tell me please. We'll come back to this later though, let us just not begin as enemies.            We would be learning about  keys to a happy life, today. I  garnered my information from a few personal encounters with persons, and my own application to life. Therefore, this list would not be exhaustive, but they're sure effective. Choke with Love:   Have you ever been stuck in a very tight corner with affection that the next air you sought to breathe was freedom? To me, and some others out there, that's one of the best feelings. I understand so well if you do not 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...

Catering for our differences.

   WE ARE ONE.                                 Back then in  secondary school, a lot of things mattered. I used to be among the "pens with tiny mouth" lovers. (And I still am😌). I never used to like writing with any pen that had a fat tip. If I got a new note, or had to write something at my convenience, I always used a pen with a tiny mouth. Lucky corer was my favourite then. When writing  exams, I wouldn't dare go in with a big "mouth biro". I had my reasons then. Since writing with fat tip pen  was never my choice, somehow, it always affected my mood, and my handwriting too. I noticed if I used any "big mouth biro", instead of concentrating while writing, I'll be busy bemoaning my  handwriting, and cursing whatever situation that made me use that pen in the first place. Because of this, while coming from home for a new term, I usually buy my biros and come with the...
