Just Keep Moving..!

Happy New Month peeps!!How y'all doin? Hope good!
It's been a pretty long minute but I guess we know how life gets in the way*wink*

Anyways,in the course of my thoughts and few experiences over the last few days, the thought kept popping in my head.."Just keep moving!"

It is about 30days to the end of 2016.
We thank God for getting us this far.
Many were alive,  hale and hearty this time last year,  even last week and are no more today.
Sadly many of us have lost friends,  colleagues, neighbours, coworkers or even loved ones in the course of this year.
I choose to say I am not just lucky but I am blessed and so are you..if you are reading this!
Are you still wondering why I just said that?

Ok lemme break it down some more..*smiles*
Having realised we are coming to the year's end,some people might want to beat themselves up for not achieving what they resolved to do at the beginning or even middle of this year..but guess what? The fact that you can even see a new day..not to talk of a new year clearly shows you have been given another chance to achieve again..that's what makes you blessed!

Making time for life doesn't just mean making time to enjoy your life but making sure you also appreciate times when you stumble..keeping in mind that it's another opportunity to rise again from that fall!
No matter how bad that failure is...it's a lesson on experience that you carry with you to prepare you for success ahead!
I cannot but mention how thankful I am for achieving a lot this year but according to my list of goals,I sure have to get over those I couldn't achieve and keep pushing towards achieving what I can..as long as I have been blessed to be alive!
What will be of greater regret to me is... thinking back later in life about risks I never took or dreams I didn't pursue ..so rather than regretting/wishing later...I'll rather fall,get up...dust my feet and keep moving because where there's life..there sure is hope!
The truth is...if you wish to climb up to the top,there's no such thing as a smooth mountain! There are sharp ridges that must be stepped over.




There will be times you will get stressed and things you will get depressed over....but guess what?
Did you know Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school about 3times but he just kept moving!
Did you know TV execs fired Oprah, saying she wasn't fit for TV, but she just had to keep moving!
Would you believe it if I told you that critics told Beyonce that she couldn't sing and she even went through depression,but she knew she had to keep moving!

Well...as I stop here on this post,let us remember we have been given a gift called LIFE so let's not blow it !
Just keep moving before time runs out!

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

Speaking Up..!

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

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

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
