STAND FOR SOMETHING

There is a popular saying "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything". Some times we ask someone where do you stand on that issue, and he is like "they have said it all, it is okay like that". Whereas in his mind he thinks so and so, obviously different from what the final conclusion was, leaving him in a situation of inconsistency. What actually stopped him from expressing his mind as well? If you really stand for what you think you stand for you shouldn't be afraid to say it, and you should be able to do the following:  SPEAK FOR WHAT YOU STAND FOR: Never should you keep quiet about what you stand for because you lack courage to speak out about it. Many people tend to wait cautiously to see if it is safe before they say their views on issues, why should this be so? If you are standing for what is right and what will be  beneficial to everyone around then you shouldn't think twice before you speak for it, ofcourse, there will

LET GO OF THE PAST

Have you ever had any experience that made you ask questions like "why me?", "why is this happening to me now?", "why am I going through pains as severe as this?" etc. Well this is life and things don't go according to our plans or desires, and when something negative happens, we are moved, shattered, upset and sometimes even resentful to a point of pain and suffering. It surprises me that some people hold on to a handful of negative experiences and bad memories from the past when there is so much to appreciate and be thankful for, I am also guilty of this ooo . You have to let go in other not to allow it haunt you or limit you from achieving your desired goals. We've all been hurt one way or the other, everyone as long as you are a teen or an adult has experienced some kind of emotional pain in our lives but you shouldn't sit and ruminate endlessly about the past which you can not change. Five Ways To Let Go Of The Past: Make Decision To

HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE

Somebody said "Life is Strange". I said "Life is full of ups and downs, nothing is ever straight or easy to come by in this life. That is why everyone is struggling to have a better life for himself at least". somebody said "Many get lost in the struggle of life, Many lose their lives in the process, many sell their souls to make it and only few overcome the harsh realities of life and become victorious at the end". I said "We just need to trend softly in the journey of life, take each day as it comes, prepare for any uncertainties and hope to be one of the few that will overcome life and be victors". That was the conversation between someone and I, when I saw this picture on his Display Picture. It is true that we sit down, make plans, wonderful plans and imagine how we will go about the plans. sincerely no one can tell me that when he is making out plans he also added some rough plans or hard situations he wants to encounter in the process

THE SECRET OF FEELING LOVED

I know you really want to know the secret of feeling loved by others. As a kid growing up, I feel lonely, unloved and feel nothing but self-pity for myself, why was I feeling that way? Am sure most of us have felt or even feeling that way at the moment. You begin to ask questions such as; Is there something am suppose to do that I'm not doing? Why do people look at me like am a trash? etc. In the cause of this, we often talk to the wrong people about our problems and at the end get the wrong solution. The secret of feeling loved is not what you actually think. The secret of feeling loved by other people is LOVING YOURSELF! Did I just typed that? Yes! The secret of feeling love by others is to Love Yourself first. When you don't feel good on the inside, when you don't feel enough love within yourself, when you don't feel smart enough, lovable enough, you default in thinking that trying to get someone or people to love you is the way out. You are like "If he or she

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

So I was supposed to have posted this much earlier before now but my day has been stressful. Hope yours wasn't as stressful as mine? I will be talking about a simple topic today, "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF". I want to pass my WAEC and UTME once, I want to graduate from the university with first class honors, I want to do this and that. You have lots of great positive goals you want to accomplish, alongside, there is this awkward tinning voice asking you if you can actually achieve all of it, asking whether you are ready for the stress attached to it but not telling you the benefit of the end product. It happens to virtually everyone. It can often be hard to believe in yourself, especially when you feel like you have nothing to offer or you are unworthy of some things. But you are worthy and you are capable. If you are having trouble seeing all the amazing things that you can do to start believing in yourself, you can take stock of what you have accomplished, the things you&#

SELF-FORGIVENESS

  And so the day started pretty awkward for me, I did something I wasn't supposed to do in the first place. I've gotten over it and life goes on. We all make mistakes and at times we spend so much time putting blame on others and ourselves. Learn to forgive yourself and move on. To be able to forgive yourself shows how strong your inner man is, and it shouldn't be hard for you to forgive others as well. The truth is that, in life at times, we tend to make some decisions without thinking twice what the repercussion will be and it after effect, not until we've done and realized  we've made a big mistake. take blame for your actions, don't ever, I repeat, don't ever blame others for your actions. It is true that some people might have done or say some things to you that might have warranted your decision to take such action(s), even still you take about 80% of the blame, but my dear, it's okay to retrace your steps, it's okay to begin on a new slat

DISCOVERING YOURSELF

I was thinking, should I go ahead with this plan? How far can I go? Is it worth it? etc.... With lots of support from a dear friend I decided to push forward my skill in writing, more so because I find it easier to put my emotions in paper or perhaps keep quiet about it than telling anyone,,, Strange? Nah,,,, some people are just like that. I was thinking of what my first write-up should be and I was able to come up with this after all, I titled it  "DISCOVERING YOURSELF". To discover yourself, you need to learn about yourself first. You need to find your real self. this allow you to become self sufficient and be independent. Discovering yourself is not easy but it's worth it. Are you ready? Let's learn some things! STEPS INVOLVED IN DISCOVERING YOURSELF CREATE YOUR PERSONAL TIMELINE : What this means is, try to write down all your major goals that you feel you want to achieve and you have to achieve. Also write down the events in your life that h
