Choose Happiness

Have you ever noticed how happiness is often fleeting?

No matter how elated you become, eventually your mind finds things to worry about. Sometimes we even create problems where there really are none.

One of the most self-destructive tendencies we have as humans is not allowing ourselves to be happy. This is because there is another voice in our head, the adversarial force that rushes in the moment we achieve any sense of true joy, and whispers in our thoughts all the reasons why we need to be afraid, upset, or stressed.

Our job is to consciously choose a sense of inner peace over that voice of negativity. A life of happiness lies in your own hands, and more importantly in your own mind. It’s just waiting for you to choose it.

Enjoy this old song by Bobby Mcferrin "Don't worry, Be happy" it gets me everytime....

Where Have All The Gentlemen Gone?

I was inspired to write this post after a recent occurrence that had me and my girlfriends literally bullied off a queue by young men. While I recognize that Chivalry is as good as DEAD in this generation, I've met a good share of courteous men in my lifetime. Ladies, have you ever had a man walk through a door ahead of you and lets it slam close behind him RIGHT IN YOUR FACE? Or a bunch of guys walking beside you for minutes while you obviously struggle with a heavy box or bag you are carrying? I'm sure 90 percent of you will say yes. Don't get me wrong .I'm not saying women are weak and always need help from men. All I'm asking is a little politeness from the male-folk. There's a myth that "Nice Guys don't get the girl". That's ridiculous cause They MARRY the girl. Being Courteous is not only attractive to women, its a great way to show support. The little things matter most to women; ...

Stop hating on people

The other day an old classmate found me on facebook and added me. I had lost contact with most of my High school friends and was glad to reconnect. In less than 48 hours he wrote this on my wall "I like you as a person even in secondary sch.(Ojo High) but I just discovered through fb(facebook) that you're so full of yourself. Don't forget that true fame and greatness comes from above". This is someone i haven't spoken to in over 9 years! How do you judge someone so harshly by going through their facebook page for 48hours. I responded to the post and said this "Wow! Good to know. Stanley the Judge. You will be judged in like measure. Thank you so much" I was stunned that anyone would act in such a manner but it made me think and reevaluate my life. I looked back at the years and saw the struggle with my faith, my career and everything; the way i had consciously taken hard decisions that had found favour with God and made my life better. 2011 was a uniqu...

EAT MORE TO LOSE WEIGHT? YES! LET ME EXPLAIN. ✨

We've all been there. Tiny salad, still hungry, thinking that's what "being good" looks like. But over-dieting and tiny portions is not the flex. It leaves you tired, snacky, and stuck in a restrict-binge loop. Your body needs more, not less — more of the RIGHT things.I call it the Full Plate Method.It’s a mindset shift. When you over-diet, your body thinks you’re in starvation mode so it increases the hunger hormone Ghrelin. So you get hungrier and snack more. FAIL! It's not about eating less food. It's about eating more of the foods that love your body back. More volume, colour and satisfaction. Here’s how to build a plate that fills you up AND helps you reach your goals: 1. Half your plate = veggies & fruit Think big, beautiful volume. Roasted broccoli, big leafy greens, cucumbers, peppers, berries, apples. Low calorie density, high fibre, vitamins, and you get to eat A LOT. 2. Quarter plate = slow-burn carbs These are your energy girls. The ones that ...
