DILUTION

Image
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...

THE MAD SANE YOU

Image
Think about this, there really is something to appreciate when you see a  mad man ...for one thing he does not even recognize the fact that he is  MAD . If you would..., take a closer look and ask yourself this " who really is disturbed when your paths cross?" You or the supposed * mad man ? Now I will not glorify the insanity of those who took to ill-mannered lifestyles and ended up on the road side. My point is simple and I will state it as plainly as possible... A LITTLE MADNESS HELPS Okay, chill guys... don't spit me out yet...😓 Let's take a step back and really understand what madness means...I could easily sum it up and you all will agree when I say "MADNESS simply means NOT-NORMAL" I believe we all are on the same page now😀...now let's open our history books 👀, here's the task- When you find a page that tells the story of how history rewarded a normal man or woman, put a bookmark on it and SHOUT my name. We all would agree t...

FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING

Image
You know blood they say is thicker than water. Most of us will easily agree, but the point is simple. FAMILY IS VERY RELATIVE . People come into your life and most times make you wonder why they didn't come from your Mama's womb. There are obviously few exceptions where your closest pal is your sibling, your dad or maybe your mum...like I said, few exceptions.  Never let the notion of a blood tie stop you from enjoying the beauty of friendship. Now I am not in anyway trying to belittle or relegate blood to the background, but I speak the TRUTH. LET'S IDENTIFY A FEW EXAMPLES 1. You work out in a gym every morning and evening , obviously you'll have gym buddies who are also passionate about achieving their fitness goals just as you are. Before you know it , the relationship transcends just the gym and you'll start hanging out and attending functions together...watch what's happening...a tie as well as a niche is being carved. 6months down the line th...

YOUR THOUGHTS YOUR LIFE

Image
It really isn't about your environment or the people around you. The main player has always been and will always be you. Your train of thoughts make or mar you,the funniest part is the fact that you know but still act like there is an external force in control.  If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don't If you like to win, but you think you can't, It is almost certain you won't If you think you'll lose, you're lost For out of the world we find, Success begins with a person's will- It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be  sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man But soon or late the one who wins Is the one WHO THINKS HE CAN!

THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY

Image
There is actually no polite way to say write this, truth is,  MONEY DOESN'T EXIST . Okay...calm your nerves down and take a minute to just read till the end. You could say that I am entitled to my opinion...I wouldn't argue with you, trust me when I say that even life proves my point. MONEY ONLY EXISTS IN THE MIND OF THE POOR Again, I do not point fingers😃 .                                                                      CASE 1 When I was much younger, my friends and I will often say that we should always carry extra money in our pocket for miscellaneous purposes. That sounds responsible I believe...but here was the issue with our train of thoughts: we believed that it could be possible to be walking on the road and accidentally push someone's egg crate to the floor, and when that happen...

TO THE HEART THAT ROCKED MY CRADLE

Image
Your hands in mine reassure me of how great I already am. OH!!! The tears you wiped from my baby face and the smile that followed, when you kissed my soft cheeks. The whip that straightened my consciousness when I seemed to go off the RIGHT course. Can I forget the HUGS?  Can I forget the FOOD? Can I delete the sight of your darkened knees, that lost its glamour in prayers for me? Can I forget the times we played pranks on DADDY? Do I say that I  love  you? Do I say that I am  grateful? Do I halt procreation till every woman on earth mutates into you? LOVE doesn't cut it. Gratitude too... To the first QUEEN in my kingdom... The one lady; till i meet wifey, who knows my deepest kitchen desires and how to meet them... HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!! God fashioned me to come from you and to HIM,   I owe my life. I THANK GOD FOR YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY. I LOVE YOU MUMMY !!!!!!!!!! A mother is not necessarily the one who gave birth to you....

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...

WORDS

Words matter a lot, especially our usage of them. Most people can endure certain negative behaviors from people close to them, but the moment words are used to offend, it becomes UNFORGIVABLE.  How hard is it to say " THANK YOU. " What would it cost you to say " PLEASE." How many minutes would it take you to say " I AM SORRY. " These very simple words, when used timely can save a marriage  save a relationship get you a job score you an interview Learn to use words and use them right. YOUR WORDS DEFINE YOU ...

LOVERS GUIDE

LOVE is love only when it is TRUE . Everybody goes off saying " love is blind " … IS IT? Love in its default setting is UNCONDITIONAL . My Advice to YOU: When you love, do so with all of you.  There is no need to be selfish about love if it is genuine and for the right reasons. When you care for someone, really do.  Be seriously concerned about others.  People must not love you in return, actually, they do not have to. LOVE IS TRULY ALL THAT MATTERS Never let your actions be deficient of love.  DO NOT EVER PRETEND TO LOVE OR CARE FOR SOMEONE because that love wouldn't stand the test of time. You would end up very frustrated. True love; the love of Christ in the heart of a man, ALWAYS WINS . When you make this love available to those around you, you give them a reason to be alive. You also wouldn't ever have to feel betrayed because you are a love-child of a Love-God, therefore you have all the love you require from your fath...
