The Limit of your Goodness.

            TILL YOUR SHADOWS STOP SHOWING UP...


           I too, face this issue everytime…Fredrick has been getting on my nerves lately. His own was now too much. All I badly craved now was to pour venom on him..through words, or even literally. Rebecca is nothing close to grateful, and never takes note of any good I do, and I just want to scream my  grievance into her face one day, and stop myself from doing good anywhere around her.
                 And then I keep asking,"when do I stop  being good?, When is the right time to strike these persons with the fact that I also have a bad side, and I’m not made with goodness all around? Which time is the best for revenge or total back-off?.
            Well then, here's the answer you may not want to hear, but need..."Till your shadows stop showing up".☺️
              What did you hear about shadows??..You ever heard they never showed up in a day??. Nahh... It's you who never went out. Shadows are longest in the early mornings and late afternoons and at other times, they're a bit regular. However, there are times when you don't get to see them at all..most times when it's all dark, but that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking of,not showing up in a whole day. When your shadows don't show up in a whole day, stop being good!
              So, let’s wait till then..
Till your shadows stop showing up,

Till all clocks stop ticking,

Keep being good always.
   In essence, I’m telling you to wait till eternity. You must have discovered that now, and might be really pissed off. I’m very sorry about that. But here’s the drill. There’s a cause. In fact, there are reasons. See them for yourself:

  • Showing a bad side is never a guarantee that the other person would budge. You might just be dealing with a rock, you know?
  •  You really don’t want to start what you can’t finish, do you?
  • You should be your own priority. You should not stop doing something you love, because someone else doesn't appreciate it.
  • It's part of the life process. Frustrations and obstacles are a big part of it✌️.

I'm sitting at home right now, and I can see my
shadow right under me, beside me, and above me. I'm
stuck too, so it's not just you😔. But it's for our own good,
so be consoled, and in the meantime, keep being your
good self. I've passed my message, and I'm sure you've
heard me out. Thanks once more..I should bow out now..

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 ...

For today only.

Friend!...Happy new month to you🤗.  Trust you have been good. Well, I am writing to you today about something on my mind.  Do you ever feel like you have gotten past the point of making wrong decisions in a certain area of your life, and then boom, just one day after you have certified yourself, you make a major disastrous decision?  I am with you on this one😩.  Here is the thing. Up until yesterday, I still did things which I am not proud of today. And yes, if you check it out, you will discover it is the same with you. One moment, you think you have a grip over everything, and the next moment, you are losing it all helplessly.  The truth is, you have very limited control. Limited foresight too. So, despite everything, you can only be so careful, you cannot be so certain.  And that is what gives birth to this message: Do not, in a bid to avoid stepping on stones, refuse to walk.  Do not decide not to explore, just because you are scared. Do not leav...

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...

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...
