DO THEY LIGHT YOUR PATH?

 







Your circle determines a lot.

It's not just about being there for each other.

It's not just about understanding each other.

It goes beyond care too.


DO THEY LIGHT YOUR PATH?


As a person, you need people to grow. You can't do it all alone. 

You're not Four Arms. 



One thing I tell myself, God won't come down to stop you or save you from something. He has already sent his son for that reason, so if there's danger lurking, a message to pass, a gift to share, who would he use?

Definitely, a person connected to you! The people around you.

The people who are closest to you.

You might have a bias. Your reason might be that strangers also help people. 

Some people might even say most of the assistance they get is from strangers. It can't be disputed, so going deeper will breed more understanding.


It all starts with the definition of the word Help. 

Help means to aid, assistance rendered.

The way the world sees help now is quite disheartening. If I don't give you money, I'm not helping. If I don't offer food, I'm not helping.

We forget that it comes in another way apart from resources.

What about the services rendered? 


I'm sure you've heard that Time is Money. So when someone offers their time or takes their time to go through something with you, don't you think that person has helped you?


Time lost can't be regained, have the decency to be at least appreciative when someone gives you their time.


With this little build-up, it's pretty safe to say that the people who are your friends have helped you more than you can imagine.

Just because it comes in an intangible form doesn't mean it's not worth it. 

You could have gone down the wrong path, but someone who matters to you gave advice, and you took a U-turn.

Would you have listened if a stranger had come to you and said the same?

I don't think so.

The first thing I would say is "Oversabi" cause who are you in the first place.😂🤲


A friend said "The influence you get when surrounded by your circle has a way of affecting you. If all your friends are strict followers of time, then automatically you become one too."

Then imagine if you're stuck with the wrong crowd?


The gift of men can't be overemphasized. People who will mention your name when someone is needed for a job, people who would always share information as regards your growth, people who love you.

Those are your people. Of course, the list is endless 😅 but I'm sure you get it now.


Also, don't be selfish in your thinking.

If the tables are turned, would you always be there for your circle or run at the slightest problem? 

Work on yourself too!

You can't be a taker all the time.


See you on the 31st of December 🥺

THE WORLD OF A MAN

There's this silly saying that "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus".  Very funny. But looking at it from a different point of view, you'll see that it's actually true.  Mars is the fourth planet away from the Sun and it's really cold and unfortunately that's how the world sees them.  Cold-hearted...  Cruel   Heartless    Insensitive     Inhuman Only one gender. Not easy yeah? Have you ever wondered why the antagonist in most romance novels are women? Or why both male and female authors dwell so much on them (women) like there's only one gender on earth? Well it's easy, men are a whole lot complex species. In this little time I've spent on earth, I've had my fair share of interacting with them and trust me when I say they're easy to understand I'm a totally different way. As a child, I watched the way my brothers were treated, quite different I must say. Although I am the most senior out of all my siblings, my dad...

DON'T HOLD ON!

  My decisions are mine and mine alone, even when influenced by others, I'm still the one with the final say. I'm still the one who decides if I want to go or if I want to stay. And so it kills me when such decisions bring about an emotion that won't give me a chance to breathe. That won't give me a chance to move. That won't give me a chance at life. Regret. Basically, we're looking at regret in context of the past i.e in things we wish we had done. Subtly put, Wishful Thinking. To regret means to feel sorry about something, to be remorseful.  It means that regret comes with a deep kind of sorrow. When we feel sorry, it means something went wrong or haywire.  It means there's a pain deep in your hearts knowing that if you went back in time, you would definitely change the turnout of things. "Assuming I just listened, I wouldn't be in this state". This is the sound of someone who feels sorry for themselves for not doing something or taking acti...

THE NECESSARY 1%

I think the poem Que Sera, Sera needs to be rewritten. Why? I have come to a realization that what will be will be if and only if you put in the necessary 1% that is expected of you. You want to pass an exam. You skim through the surface of what you are to cover and conclude luckily, it's something you can achieve. Your thoughts have already drawn a simple step-by-step board on how you can achieve easy success.  All you need to do is put in the required effort and voila! You have good grades flowing through all your scripts. However, as humans, certain things limit us. The mind is the greatest. Sometime last year, I joined a 30 day writing challenge. I wanted to improve my skill. Not because I felt like it. I realized that even if writing came easy to me, I was still lacking in some areas. Prior to when I first saw the requirements of the challenge, I got cold feet. My first thought was how can this be? Writing for 30 days straight? Not possible! My thought process was already dera...
