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 case is not the deadliest. A whole lot of others see worse days. For this reason alone, never stop being grateful.
           In this aspect, you too can relate. Most times, we all just package. For the person beside you, for the culture, for so many reasons. You carry yourself at your best, when you're in your worst of times. So does your neighbor, therefore,do not be intimidated by dispositions.
            It would be well🙌.
            È ma de bè, è ma ju bè lôn. That place you want to get to , you will get there, and surpass it. You'll go far.
            Then,what  is it you want to do, or achieve. What is it that rousing in your belly you want to bring to life? What is that dream of yours you see both at night, and in daytime?
            And  what's holding you back? What's stopping you?
            Don't tell me people 😔.
            As much as you ask for opinions, filter your answers. Not everyone think before talking.
             So, what's your next barrier? Time, money, something else?
            Here is all I'll tell you. Begin somewhere today. Start taking baby steps today. The path gets clearer as you proceed.
            Let me share a personal story with you. So, at the time I was about to get into the University, I had to buy a form for an exam. It was quite expensive, but that wasn't even issue. From what was on ground, Dad could afford to squeeze that amount out.
             The main issue was the school fees which the authorities were already telling us we were going to pay, after a short period of gaining admission. Dad was having nothing close to that amount, and after examining everything, I told him not to worry, I would stay home for an extra year, while working, and trying to save up. He really didn't reply, but we were just watching the deadline for the sale of the forms, pass by very quickly. On the last day of the sales of those forms, I was just returning home when Dad grabbed me by the hand, and told me we were going to purchase the form. I quietly followed. On our way there, I then asked him why the sudden change of plans. Then he told me. If you're waiting till everything is complete before taking a step, you might end up never starting at all.
If you're waiting till everything is complete before taking a step, you might end up never starting at all.
           Long story cut short, I got the form, took the exam, performed well, got my admission, and when the time for the payment of the school fees came. Dad paid it, the means notwithstanding. Till date, I'm ever grateful that I didn't just allow that year slip by.
             I've said a lot. I should stop already. But let me leave you with these lyrics."If you know you're a star, say Irawo Irawo eeh". Irawo is the Yoruba meaning for star. So why am I bringing it in? What is it you are?? Keep saying it. Never stop calling yourself to existence. You're getting closer. You'll hit it seamlessly, and surpass extraordinarily.
            We call it a wrap here. Thanks for coming through today. Lots of love from your favourite writer, Joy💜.

Expectations, then...disappointments.

MITIGATING THE HURTS THAT COMES WITH DISAPPOINTMENT.                   Friend, welcome again 🥰.              Sometime  ago, I got a new phone, and as usual, it came with a charger. Because this phone was a higher brand than all those I've used before, coupled with all the rants I heard about  the extra power that comes with follow come chargers😂, I protected this phone's charger with an utmost care. To be honest, left to me, I would not have loved to share this charger with anyone, but normally, as the Nigerians that we are, someone somewhere just had to beg you😔🤦. Sometimes, they could even use it in your absence if kept carelessly. So, somehow I still shared. All the same, I still took very good care of that charger, such that even as I shared, my heart went out with it.          Then one day...this beloved charger just stopped responding. Just like that. I mean an abrupt end. No warning signals,no symptoms, no real fault on my part. It just gave up on me down there in th

WE ARE STILL HUMANS.

         Just before you carry out that action..                 The moderator  rolled in the announcements, and this was among. The third meeting in three weeks, was mentioned. Where the pastors would go and discuss redundant stuff that could wait, or be finalized on phone. But as usual, the senior pastor would hear none of that. He actually holds such meetings in high esteem, and sees anyone's failure to come, as disobedience.                Having  that realization hit him once more,and remembering that he was stuck, the junior pastor cried out in my front. Yeah...he blurted out:"It's still the same things we are going there to discuss"... and I'm quite tired and hungry😥. He just wished for a way to escape but there was none. The moderator would not even take his message, not to talk of relaying it to the senior pastor.                 That was when I felt it. I mean, this junior pastor is my friend, and he was not carnal or whatever. Truth be told, if you

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 fire. My worship is my weapon.."  .How about we rephrase it this way concerning our thought

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 I received, I also asked myself.."Did I

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 leave out moments because you are scar

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 that of someone else, the combination of them all is unique to you only.                 Just like that fish, we all get to meet some points of decision everyday

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 l

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 persons had it all going so arranged for them f
