Life through my eyes

In his hierarchy of human needs triangle, the great psychologist Sigmund Freud recognises the sense of self actualization as the peak and ultimate need of every human being. This is the feeling of colossal satisfaction and optimal attainment. This is the feeling you get when you are working in the course of our life’s purpose What is one’s life’s purpose? To paraphrase the definition of my all time best author Paulo Coelho; your personal calling/Legend/destiny/Purpose is God’s blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on earth. It is the path that God in his infinite wisdom and knowledge, knows that you will find self actualization when you walk in it. Your life’s purpose is your reason for living. It’s the reason you wake up every morning with and zeal to make a difference. Your life’s purpose is that which you know and feel without anyone telling you that you ought to be doing. Every Man’s (male and female) original purpose is in line with God’s will. This may...

An emotional hangover is what you feel when you try to let go of an emotion you have held onto for longer than you should. This weekend, I experienced my first (and last, i hope) emotional hangover. We ended our relationship more than two years ago so that we could move on with our lives. He wanted to get married, I wanted to pursue a career, and our life paths seem to go in different directions. We remained close friends and as often as possible I prayed for him to find a good wife. Well, he did get married this weekend and I was there. Truth is had a hard time making a decision to attend the wedding cause I felt it was out of place for me to. I decided to go cause as friends it was the right thing to do. When I got there I did not know what to feel  or how to act till I saw the couple dancing down the aisle. One part of me said; it’s your loss girl! Another part said, just be cheerful for him. I was truly happy for him. The time preceding this was not exactly the best...

Go on,take a peek, even for one tiny second, you know you want to, you know you'd love to, thats the voice in my head, telling me what to do, its hard to resist the temptation, to see how many are reading, how many have gazed through, or at least who have dropped by, to take a peek at what this young lady has to say. So i give in, i check the stats. Lo,behold, hundreds and hundreds pouring in to view this blog page. astounded at the numbers and a bit intimidated by it also. i wonder what i have to say to all this wonderful,learned,intelligent people. i try to write but my fingers fail me. i try to type but the keyboard looks more complex, i have managed to put this little note together. to you,yes you reading. Thank you for taking the time. I love you all Omah

This is just a little piece about what I’m thankful for. Sometimes it’s easy for me to think that someone else has more reason to be thankful than i do. Truth is no matter what circumstances I am going through, the single fact that I am among the living is enough reason to be thankful. I could live the healthiest lifestyle ever known, go jogging in the morning, eat little or no carbs, do yoga and meditate; still i cannot guarantee that i will live the next minute. I have learnt that the art of thanksgiving is the most powerful kind of prayer. When I give thanks for things I have and things I don’t have, I set myself up for greater and better things to come. I know I cannot remember all you have done for me but please God forgive my forgetfulness. I thank you cause I know that next time I will remember even more to give thanks for. Please spare me a few minutes of your busy schedule and listen to my prayer of thanksgiving. I am grateful for family, I am grateful that I foun...

Our mothers used to wear knee-length dresses, now we wear thigh-length dresses.  Go to popular fun spots in Lagos like the Silverbird galleria and the palms,  you will see that the younger generation have grown bolder because they now wear bum-length dresses.  Some even wear jeans with their underpants hanging out. With this trend and path we are taking I wonder what kind of fashion will be left for the generations to come. In all of this keeping up with latest fashion trends, what would you say is going too far? Or better put, crossing the line. You may say what line? Who put the line in place? Our generation is different than theirs so let them let us be. But really truly you know that this is a problem that we need to address soonest. Though I’m not a fan of comparing past and present generations, I can say that dressing morals were much more acceptable in our parent’s time. Ironically they taught us what we know directly or indirectly so what are we talking ...

You really want this to happen for you. You really, really do. So you start to think about it. Stop! What exactly are you thinking about?! The desire you want fulfilled or the lack of it? It has been said that where you focus more attention to, is where you will focus more energy on, and eventually what you will have come to you. We cannot help but think about what we want out of life. We will always have desires so we need to know that our thinking angle affects the outcome of our desires.  There are two ways which we focus our attention. We are either thinking about our desires .This helps us find new ways to act so that it becomes a reality. Or We are thinking of the Absence /Lack of our desire . This way we tend to get discouraged and sometimes feel defeated. How can you know where your attention truly is? Your feeling and emotions are like a life's compass, pointing you towards your dreams. They tell you when you ...
