Life through my eyes

I want to believe But I’m having a hard time seeing Past what I see right now I want to be free But when I try to fly I realise, I don’t know how No one showed me how.                       Kirk Franklin (Help me believe) We can’t deny that sometimes we feel helpless, stuck, alone and hopeless. Like the world, your family and friends have moved on leaving you behind. You are unaware of the next step to take or the next move to make. You lost your job and have not been able to find one for a long time. You lost your loved one and you feel like life is empty and worthless without them. You lost all your money when the economy crashed. You are sick and the doctor has told you how much time he thinks you have left. It is eating your soul up. It’s killing you softly. The dawn of a new day is like another day in hell. There is this voice in your head that seem...

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...

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 ...
