Someone's Watching..!


On an early humid morning,I stroll out of my house going for my usual morning walks,a lady in her late 50's greets me with a smile. In my usual apprehension towards strangers,I respond with a cool,questioning smile!
I slowly close my gate,giving her the opportunity to keep walking but i noticed she slowed down her pace.
I sense this and am wondering "Hmmm...am in no mood for a chat this morning especially with today's weather that isn't exactly generous with some breeze to enable me kill some kilometres!"*sighs*
Anyways,i proceed with her still walking in front of me and after a few minutes,she turns back to walk towards me!
"Hello!I know we haven't met but i normally see you take your morning walks on some mornings."
Am like "Ooh..ok"..with a smile.

She goes on to tell me how she has never really been interested in body fitness or workouts,but when she kept seeing me it occured to her that she could easily take morning walks without breaking a leg! Infact,it was an opportunity for her to get out of her house that she would normally stay in all day and just remain comfortable lying on the couch watching television,worrying over things she couldn't change!
Now that lifted my spirits and automatically,my heart opened up to her!
We proceeded on the walk together,sharing productive information about life,health,businesses,etc!I got to discover she even had a garden at the back of her house,where she plants crops,natural herbs,etc!!
Anyways before i bore you *LOL*,let me just say...Thanks to her approaching me that morning and thanks to my spirit that allowed me grant a warm reception towards her!

Firstly,i was taken aback when she told me how she usually admired me walking past those mornings because i wouldnt have had the slightest idea anyone would have been awake and looking out their window at that time of the morning!
U just never know..Someone's watching!*smiles*


Just keep being you!Keep doing things you effortlessly do in your own unique way and you will be amazed at who you can inspire and how you can inspire.
You would be surprised at how you inspire someone or even people,regardless of their ages/professions!
It could be in your neighbourhood(how you coordinate/treat the cleaners,security personnel or handle estate meetings),your office(how you arrive early at work/respect the junior staff) or even your place of worship(how you come early to church and assist in tidying up before the service,helping the elderly ones compassionately or even how you devotedly donate your offerings despite the fact that everyone there knows you don't have a job at the moment)!

You just never know who sees you as an inspiration...cos trust me.. Someone's watching!*wink*

Till my next post, live,laugh,love and of cos stay blessed!

Whose Reward Are You Really Seeking?

Some call it charity..Some call it philanthropy and Some simply call it helping the poor/less privileged. Now what gives me concern about this act recently is the fact that this act has become something that the giver feels justified in doing,only after he has publicised his generosity or the extent of his largesse! With the desire to assist in the welfare of the less privileged or donate generously to the needy, why is it so important to call a photographer,take pictures,get on social media platforms and post each picture showing how you presented cartons of drinks,food or beverages so the whole world can see you as the ever-generous giver or the certified philanthropist!*smh* What really changed from the days when the giver is open handed and the whole world doesnt have to know about his every act of benevolence? Am I wrong in thinking charity is supposed to be an act of selflessness where the giver gives out of compassion without seeking praise ,validation or a reward from

Speaking Up..!

Image
It seems a pretty difficult task for some of us to voice out our opinions on our beliefs, values or even opinons! I think it appears more difficult when we are dealing with family,friends or people we care about because of the fear of being hurtful to them. At some point we even compromise our values or tailor our opinions just to avoid confrontations or endless hours of unproductive arguments! Truth be told...i am not a passive person by nature but i realised that in the bid to avoid lengthy conflicts,i just conveniently shy away sometimes from imposing my opinion or belief on the issue in contention!*sighs* Funny enough,i got so angry with myself sometimes for not having the willpower to aggressively stand up for my opinion and making the other person accept my views,regardless of the consequences!*smh* I came to realise that sometimes(if not,most times),you have to possess that inner strength that allows you to be truthful not just to yourself,but to others and damn the con

Is It Your Attitude or Your True Personality?

Image
Is there really a difference between one's personality and one's attitude?? Welll..to be honest I think there's quite a difference between the two. Thinking about it now...there are hot-tempered peeps who don't surprise you with their temper so when they blow up..at least it's something you already expect and you waive it off knowing that's how they are(their personality)!...But the quick-tempered peeps could be a little different because the outburst just comes from nowhere right in the middle of a discussion..leaving u shocked and speechless like a statue(their attitude)!!LOL!*smh* Funny enough,I think everyone's attitude could differ at anytime... but what makes the difference is what makes you upset..or suddenly angry ,how you express your anger/how often..and of course..to whom!(which is the reason why personality and attitude become confusing). More often than not,this confusion between personality and attitude happens in relationships or friend
