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 from their young age, and then maybe there is you trying to build everything from scratch. Dear friend, whichever category you belong to, your efforts are valid nonetheless. 

If you do not think there is a need for it, do not stress. This is not a justification for mediocrity, but just to tell you that you should not rush into anything, just so that it would seem like your hands are full.

Check your schedule, and do not be afraid to say no. Admit to yourself, this person is doing great, but I cannot do this now, because I have this and that, to grapple with. If you feel the persons have a way of getting round it, do not just guess and delve in as well. Ask them questions, and do not be surprised when you hear something different from what you had thought all the while. 

 Being happy for people, does not mean that you must do things in exactly the same pattern as they did, or that you must walk in the same steps as them. Have time to breathe, discover yourself, and do your unique big thing. 

One last thing. 

Put a grip on the pulse of your mental health, and never let it slip away while you are not looking. You  deserve better, and honestly you cannot do this, by just making a determination to be yourself. Rather, make it a duty to search and feel the most violent opening, where all of that pressure emanates from. Close it up, and ensure you can now hear your own voice. 

I will not tell you it is easy, but I will tell you it is worthwhile. 

No matter the achievements, it is the person who is alive that can witness us celebrate him/her. Your case would never be that of too many choking activities, yielding an unhappy life in the end. 

Rather, you are the next big thing in your field. Let us just leave it here. 

Thank you again for coming around🤗. Please leave a comment if you were blessed or have any contributions to add. Take care, and have a triumphant week ahead. Love, Joy💜.

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.             ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...
