DILUTION

Today it felt like I had mastered the trick. I believed that it was possible to care and not lose myself, it worked -- seemed to work for the shortest while, until he found the words I didn't want to hear. It was another sunset, like the many we've shared together. Another cool evening with the black soot in the air and the blaring horns of hurrying white-collar workers; tired of the days slaving at the office, permeating the air from the distance. We never cared about them, at least I didn't, and I doubt he ever did. I always looked forward to his calls every evening, and today wasn't any different. The phone barely rang when I hit the green button and closed my eyes to let his voice light up my entire being. It wasn't deep, nor did he have the baritone kind, his is soft and somewhat pitchy, yet he finds a way to sound so delicious that I taste him with my eyes firmly closed, and my lower lip in between my teeth.  "I'm at the gate..." his favourite wo...

VICTIM

December 16, 1985      Christmas period for the George family is one that everybody looks forward to. This is the one time in the year Lucy's mom feeds the nation, because every known sibling to Lucy's dad comes with their families to Mr. George's famous "castle" of a house.  This Christmas is one Lucy will not forget in a hurry. I mean... how can she ? This night after all the eating, drinking and story telling, everyone retired for the night unbeknownst to them, Lucy's fate. I am sure you have guessed it already, :(  LUCY was raped that night by her fathers brother who in his defense said "I wanted to know what 12 year olds tasted like." OKAY TAKE JUST 2min TO HAVE YOUR SOBER REFLECTIONS... NOW SHAKE IT OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!! July 16, 2016 Lucy is now how old ? ____                                         LET'S MEET LUCY No Job No ski...

THE NEED TO KNOW

Sometimes knowledge is what shortchanges us, but really... it is "we" who do the harm to ourselves. The "need to know" is easily replaced these days with "what is available." The hunger to be sure is now doused with acceptability. Have you ever mused on the fact that maybe: If only you read a little further you would have covered that topic for the exam. If only you asked her, she would have said yes and not marry Luis. If you fellowshipped more with the HOLYSPIRIT you wouldn't have singed that shady contract. If you took that professional exam you could have qualified for that managerial position. "ILL LUCK?" really? ...is that your best defense?  :( Truth is, LUCK is only a mirage and it exists only in the mind of FOOLS ; okay pardon my language...nah scratch that F O O L S !!!!!!!!!!  Knowledge can save you years of unnecessary HARD WORK. GET KNOWLEDGE. ..but don't just stop there, decide to USE IT.  ...

CARE

People need to feel loved. People need to reminded how much human they also are. Now, you might be a  "care-less" or "indifferent"  person when it comes to being concerned about how people treat you, but that does not mean you should treat those in your sphere of contact that way. Your nanny wouldn't mind if you come home and ask her how her day was. Your spouse would feel loved when you ask how his/her day at the office was.  That young man who does your laundry wouldn't mind a cup of coffee when he comes to pick up the laundry. IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS YOU DO. Care can be shown at different levels.  Remember to be genuinely interested in people. It could just make the person more efficient or go as far as giving the person a reason to live. LOVE ALWAYS WINS...

SELFLESSNESS

Consider the following sentences: Everyone wants something new.  Everyone likes receiving favors. Preacher declares "You will have a blessed week in the name of Jesus," everyone choruses "AMEN." PAUSE ... take a moment to read these three sentences again and see how your subconsciousness selfishly interprets it. Let me give you a hand.  You are thinking: I want something new I like receiving favors Whoa!!! I am gonna be blessed this week  ACTS 20:35-  " It is more blessed to give than to receive ." Now go back to the 3 sentences above and read them with the mind of a GIVER . Be the one to give people new things. Be the one to grant others favors After that service in church, start thinking of who to bless during the week Trust me, God knows how to take care of his own. You cannot be the GIVER and lack any good thing. #mindsetofagiver

RELATIONSHIP GOALS

Now calm down, I am not about to tell you how to meet a guy or woo a girl. BUT ...what i tell you today can sure secure a FANTASTIC future for you. Most people like to make friends, and even those who are explicit introverts have certain people in their lives who they call friends. The question many fail to ask is: Why is she/he my friend Why do i enjoy spending time with him/her How much influence(positive) does she/he have in my life What has changed in my life since i met him/her These are just 4 of the basic questions that we should really ask when we get into any kind of relationship with someone. OUR FRIENDS SHOULD: bring out the best in us challenge us to aim higher in life encourage us to be better versions of ourselves e.t.c ANYBODY who does the opposite of all these should be " DIS-FRIENDED " :) ...had to make that word up THERE IS A SAYING. .."Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are" YOU ARE AS GOOD OR A...

THE ANSWER IS "NO"

NO is a word we should all come to appreciate. I mean, we mustn't always be available at all times even to ourselves. Saying or rather using the word " NO " can save you a lot of unnecessary regrets. Now why do we think we have to say YES .... simple: to save a relationship to please a friend or loved one  to have immediate gratification because the thought of waiting any longer to achieve something worthwhile is TIRESOME  peer pressure to not look bad  For one brief moment, think about that one time you said YES when a NO could have saved you one night of REGRET . I am not by any chance saying you should turn to a snub :) Start first with YOU . Practice saying NO to yourself: NO to that habit  NO to getting angry  NO to being vulnerable  NO to shedding tears YOU KNOW YOUR WEAK POINTS...CHOOSE YOUR NO CAREFULLY It would not happen in one day, but keep at it. PERSISTENCE is key. SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY TO SAY YES IS A POL...
