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 scared that it might not be the same tomorrow. Do not bury that dream in you, because you fear that it might be dead on arrival. 

Yes, things might go south, but the beautiful thing is this...You started. You experienced it. You enjoyed it while it lasted. Take pride in that. Do not be ashamed to say "Yes it was this way, but things have changed". Pick up your lessons, and keep moving. 

This is why we are humans. 

So friend, 

Create the moments. Live life. Enjoy people. Savour every bit of talk time. Give out and receive love. Start somewhere. Leave out the worrying, and enjoy the moment before you. We will get there when we get there. 


Dear friend, Cheers to a beautiful new month. Everything is working in your favour. Do stay safe and take care. Yours truly, Joy❤.

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...

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 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 b...

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...

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...

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....

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...
