Back to the drawing board.

So, sometime ago, I was reading the Bible, and I came across that part that says..."swear not, neither by heaven..."

Then I remembered that while growing up, we were always told this in the children church. And to think that somewhere along the line, I had started swearing as a way of emphasis during conversations.

Yeah, I had to talk to myself afresh that day.

This aside, there are countless number of times I've had to revisit my actions, by just making a reference to where the decision was first hewn out from.

Just the way it is.

We sometimes kick off a project with so much enthusiasm, that even though we have a written blueprint, we make a mental picture of what we already have written out, turn it into a compass, and boom, off we go!

No looking back, no reference, no nothing. We just trust ourselves with all of ourselves.

Well, truth is, nothing bad in trusting ourselves.

The problem just arises when we miss the whole essence of the project, or whatever.

Most times, all we need is just a reminder. Whether you're in doubt or not, whether you feel like you're still on track or not, you still need a reminder. You should visit the drawing board, and compare your blueprint with what you're currently building, do they align? Have you been doing it right? Are you missing out something?

Here...

Up until you go back to where you planned it all out, you would not know what you've left out during the entire process. (Wahala for who no plan before oo😩)

And,

The good side is priceless. Looking at it gives you strength to carry on, especially if you've been on track, and have achieved a lot. True, you might feel down when you try to grade yourself, and discover that you're way too far from average. But there's really nothing to regret. After all, you know where you stand now, and when there is life, there is hope. Hence, You begin somewhere.

Hi dear...

For this 2021, you made plans. Go on ahead, and remind yourself of them all.

Remind yourself now and again, what your goals for the year are. Check and see if you're still following the pattern you said you'll follow.

That project you drew a blueprint for, make reference to the blueprint from time to time.

That routine you started following at some point in your life, remind yourself of the reason you're doing so.

Those decisions you made at some point in your life, which you know are still valid to you, keep yourself abreast with why you uphold such decisions.

There's nothing bad in adding new goals, decisions or methods of achievement with time, but there's everything wrong in gradually leaving out some of your goals due to carelessness, or doing something entirely different from the initial plan or decision, just because you never made reference.

Thanks for reading till this point☺️. By God's grace, you'll achieve all those goals and more. By his grace, you'll keep your valid routines, and uphold your decisions. By God's grace, your dreams would be a reality.

Till we meet again, always keep the drawing board by your side. Take care, I love 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 fi...

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 ...

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...

Happy new year!🤗🤗

Pheew. First blogpost in the year 2021. Yeah, the window blinds are only slightly open, and the image of the house contents are still blurry. But, we move regardless!. I'll apologize at this point. Towards the end of last year, I had my hands full, and worse still, all of it came at almost the same time, and left me with no time to set my priorities all up. I'm really sorry to have starved this place, and I hope you forgive me. Intentionally, 2021 is bringing balance, and you'll always be meeting me here every first ,and third Saturday of the month. God help both of us. Amen? Amen🤩 So, how have you been? How has your first week in 2021 been like? Quiet?, full of decision taking?, Just vibes?, Or have you made that one mistake you said you wanted to avoid all through the year, and now you wish we could restart all over again?😅💁 Whichever yours is, we still keep moving. Ahead😊. Well, in this year, and beyond, there's something you'll be needing to do away with....

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 ...

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’...

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...

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. ...

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...

YOUTIME!
