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💜.

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...

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...

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...

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 ".☺️ ...

Discipline.

Hi there. Welcome back!🤗 Trust you have been good? Today, you would be learning something really crucial to your development as a person, and that is the art of discipline. Sincerely and soberly, How high have you been holding up your head in this area? Have you been taking charge of your responsibilities, or have they been making a mess of you? Well, by God's grace, you would stay in charge from today onwards. _____________________________________________

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’...

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...
