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💜.

Triumph over pressure.

 Hiiiiii.. Welcome, and thank you for coming again🤗.  So, it is about pressure today, because the effects that come from giving in to pressure, multiply as the days go by. Worse still, the persons who make it a duty to pump tons and tons of pressure into this world space are not reducing either.   Just look around you. Everywhere is so busy, and sometimes, it may seem like you are merely a spectator, standing by, and watching everyone else do the big things.   Maybe in just one aspect of life, maybe in many others.  Yes, we get them everyday. Especially everywhere on social media. Most of the times, it would look like the train of achievement is packed with people, and moving already, leaving just you behind.  Hi again, here is from me to you: Pick challenges, but leave pressure out of the entire equation.  You know that beautiful thing which you are building, keep at it. One thing you should know is this, our stories are different. Some per...

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...

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 ...

You are unstoppable.

          This space has been less busy for a while now. So many things happening at the same time. My apologies.            So, what is it you've been going through lately?            Have you been having some hard time, or maybe hitting rough phases, facing obstacles, or meeting bad energies at almost every corner?             Let me share this with you.             Never see reasons to quit yet.             Whatever tunnel it is you are going through, it's just a phase. It will definitely pass. That I'm sure of. It is the exact time I'm clueless about.             Another thing is this, you're never in it alone.  There is hardly any person around who really doesn't have an issue which he/she is battling with. In clearer terms, you're better off than a whole lot of persons. Your...

What are you saying??

So, right from when I was very much younger, I used to hear my mom say " Go and sit down, they are too small" or even " you're too small" (referring to me now). She uses it whenever you come with some kind of threatening news or something. It is not like you asked for her opinion on how small they are or anything, she just says it out of reflex, and because that is what she believes. That issue is too small to be the one to disrupt her peace.  Sometimes, she follows it up with.." Do you even know who you are? ?" Or "Do you still remember the God we serve ??". I have not told her yet, but that phrase made me smile always, and gave me the calm I needed for the moment. It boosted my faith many a time, and it still does.        I have had the opportunity to converse with many persons, literate and illiterate, believers and unbelievers, leaders and followers alike, and I have come to know, that it is not based one's status or whatever. Inste...

Negative thoughts and you.

             First it is worry, then it turns to doubt....                Some days ago, I had an issue with someone. It was not a fall out, or anything big actually, just one of these harsh statements by individuals, that pierce through and through, and make you wonder if some things are actually  worth the stress. So, almost immediately after that took place, I began to worry so deeply. I was almost drifting off..., but then I remembered something. Something which made me stop dead in my tracks to depression. My mind went to something, and I realized that I had almost crossed the boundary. I realized I was going to be doubting my abilities soonest, so, like a reflex, I took the necessary actions. In no time, my joy was back, and all of those thoughts discarded😊.          Most of us are familiar with Dunsin Oyekan's song that says..." first it was fragrance, then it turned to fi...
