Is He The Best For You?
Is He The Best For You?
When a lady falls in love, everything around her tends to fall with her,
just like a drunk man fall to the effect of alcohol. The question is,
who said he is the right one or the best for you. Am not talking about a
fling, or just a flash in the path, it is far from that.
He might
not be the best life and love has to offer, if you really could just
take time to see and think things over rationally and not emotionally,
radically and not sexually. Who says you should not expect too much or be given the best out of what love and passion offers to a woman. He sometimes toils with you and get you all worked up, but you keep saying “what can i do” or “he will change soon. Do not be deceived and never hide away from a reality staring at you, because it may catch up with you when you least expect it to.
Who told you that is the best a
man can offer you, he lays his hands on you at the slightest
provocation, so quick to say sorry even when he knows he is not, takes
you for granted, tampers and mess with your emotion every time just
because you have fallen in love, has he? If he has, don’t you think
things will be different?
You know what being disrespected means has a
lady, but he serves it to you hot and fresh every day and you turn your
loving face the other way, just because you think he is the best for
you, or there is nothing better outside what he gives. Before the door
closes you can still take your leave without the neighbours knowing.
The
longer time you spend in this atmosphere of indecision and
contemplation the deeper you fall into that reality, which carries less
than what you deserve as lady/woman. Being a woman is not an excuse not
to get the best out of love, friendship, passion, sex and marriage. Like
a man, he always has the power of choice, who says you don’t have such
powers.
Take things easy and check to know if he is the best for you.
Do you see such person as a father figure or just a sexy and romantic
idol? Why should he give little and get so much from you, why should you
stop loving you, just to love and worship him, is he GOD? Like they say
we are all small gods, believe it or not.
He never thinks of you
first, but you do most times and you feel he is the best life can offer
you, or the best you can get. Always remember this, “you can be wrong
for days, weeks and months, but never be caught on the wrong side
forever, because if you are there might be no going back”.
You stay
with him out of obligation, or out of been part of a supposed culture,
ideology, perception or just so that your friends won’t say you can’t
keep a man, who says that is a man/guy for keeps, look beyond now and
gaze into the future, something better is there for you, if only you can
dare to take that bold step, tell yourself the truth, find things deep
into their roots, not every fruit is worth it.
Do not make the
mistake of settling for less, he may not actually be the best; check out
the rest so that your mind can be at rest. Listen to both your heart
and brain; there is no blind love anymore.

10 Ways To Fight Depression
10 Ways To Fight Depression.
1----One thing you must know is, the mind is a place where depression
grows to eventually become a menace to the whole of your system.
So
try as much as possible to engage your mind with positive activities,
positive thoughts, a positive way of life and so on, just make sure your
mind is not free for a depressing thought to creep in, why? cause a
positive thought or activity takes you far away from whatever issues or
problems facing you.
2------ You must try as much as possible to avoid anxiety and difficult issues , problems , peoples views or opinions must not be allowed to take over your mind easily,because if it does , you become too anxious which predisposes you to been depressed.
3----- When bored or moody, never try to find solace in drinks, sex, food or drugs, they only compound issues.
4------
Boredom, loneliness, idleness, low self esteem and lack of self
confidence are factors that exposes an individual to depression, so to
avoid it, engage in pro-active activities like "SPORTS".
5-------
Have at least 2-3 mind lifting friends , keep companies that add value
to your life, try to find someone you trust and respect to talk to,
because depression thrives in silence, communication exposes it.
6------- Never be caught idle, because it makes the mind go astray in search of crazy and depressing thoughts .
Engage your mind with activities that keeps it focused, activities like "READING OR TAKING A WALK".
7------
A low self esteem dampens the mind, which invites depression, so to
conquer depression, your self esteem must burn high like steam.
8------
If you are not confident with your self then everything people say
especially the negative ones gets to you and bring the spirit down ,
which automatically exposes you to depression.
Build a genuine self
confidence from inside you, remind yourself everyday that you are "
BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT AND HARDWORKING."
9------ Avoid
getting ANGRY easily, don't be jealous, never house any hatred towards
anyone live with a free mind,that could be all the liberation you need
from depression.
10------ Don't blame yourself for whatever have
happened or happening to you, this is the only way to clear your mind
from all guilt and self condemnation.
------ FINALLY, TRY NOT TO
WAKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF YOUR BED AND IF YOU WORK PLEASE FIND TIME
TO RELAX YOUR NERVES, GO OUT ON A VACATION, EITHER WITH YOUR FAMILY OR
ALONE BUT JUT DO SOMETHING OUT SIDE WORK! WORK!

Brazil 2014 WORLD CUP.
Are you excited yet? Because i am; have you caught the fever? Has the
bug of this beautiful mundial stung you?, if it hasn't then you are
actually in another planet... Here on earth something great is about to
happen, history is about to be made, stars are about to converge, racial
and ethnic segregation is about to diverge, dreams are on the verge of
being born.
No one is left out in this party, you do not need an invite, all you need is the love and passion for this game... It is not only a game, it is the union of the world under the euphoria of a divine conviviality...Everyone has a reason to celebrate, from the blast of the whistle of the first game, to the blast of the whistle of the last game. The land of a great culture, tradition, spirituality and divinity is about to host the rest of the world under the umbrella of a beautiful and unifying game.
The Olympic has its own spirit, the
UEFA league has its own passion, the commonwealth games has its own
uniqueness, tennis, golf and cricket have their various qualities, but
the FIFA World Cup coming to Brazil has more than tradition, history,
passion and dedication behind it, what it carries is beyond the
physical, it has transcended into the spiritual not leaving out a
beautiful reality for us all to feel and wallow in.
We all pray that
our ambassadors represent us well, Cotedivore, Nigeria, Cameroun, Ghana
and Algeria... The power of our Ancestors, will protect you, the
struggles of our heroes be behind you, and may the power of the one who
made heaven and the earth be with you all, may you come back home
victorious, no battle will be lost on that soil, though it is a foreign
land, our minds and heart will not be moved.
Tell the gods of
Brazil we are coming, let the people and the land get ready, for
something unusual, hearts and souls are about to roar and shout till the
see glory, never let anyone tell you this story. A gathering of the
high and mighty, low and high, powerful and arrogant, loving and
unfriendly, enemies and foes will dine and trade tackles under the
glaring eyes of the world. Please don’t hold your breath, it is not the
best, because what you are about to see will leave you breathless.
I can’t wait, my imagination is getting wary, my mind is gradually
playing tricks on me, all i want is to behold the 2014 world cup; that
is what the world is waiting for, so let it pour. Wet our appetite with
the sweet taste of joy, hope, fear, tears, pride, unity, peace, love and
wonder.
Though some stars are missing, sadly, but that won’t stop
the sky in Brazil from smiling, that won’t put on hold the ecstasy that
the world will feel and live in for this moment, records will be set and
broken, brace yourself because this flight is taking you a destination
of marvels and utmost glory.
Viva Brasília, welcome to the world of 2014….

The Path To Self-discovery.
The Path To Self-discovery.
The greatest discovery you can ever make in life is to discover “you”.
Who you really are, what defines you and what niche of persona or
mentality do you belong. To discover self is like having all the correct
answers to an examination question. The origin of confusion,
misconception, slavishness, low self-esteem, lack of enthusiasm, passion
and vision is not knowing the real you from deep within.
It is very
important to know this and have it at the back of your hand, if you fail to discover yourself before you are introduced into the fast, crazy, carefree and selfish world/society, then they will make you believe and accept what you are not. They just shape you into an object or piece that suits their taste, belief, mentality, ideology and principle. So please get up and embark on a beautiful journey of self-discovery. Let the truth unfold right in front of you.
1. The first step in
self-discovery, is knowing what makes you happy and fulfilled deep
inside. That thing that you can do or do without pressure. It comes to
you naturally without the help or influence of anybody. Some call it
talent, some call it a gift, but i call it a way of life. You must find
it, groom it and brand it to its maximum potential. This helps to reduce
and avert any form of confusion and lack of enthusiasm in life
generally. With this discovery you are able to place a tag or identity
on your personality in totality.
2. You must make friends with
yourself, introduce you to yourself, it sounds crazy but it is a very
important step in the process of self- discovery. Know who you are by
relating with your personality, learn to enjoy your own company, do some
intra-personal communication quietly within the confines of your mind.
There no eyes or ears can know what is going on. Be comfortable in your
skin, appreciate, adore, respect and control yourself, but don’t be
caught worshiping yourself.
3. Know your temperament and mood.
Ask some questions, i mean personal questions, like where do i belong,
what is the nature of my mood. Are you hot headed, cool headed, shy,
quiet, spontaneous, impulsive, or lady back. Just try to identify the
character that best defines you as an individual with no sentiments. You
may not like it your temperament, but know that you can work on it,
influence it, and shape it to answer to you in the best way you want it
to. Your temperament is like the outer layer that people get to meet
before getting through to who you really are.
4. Work on your
knowledge base; make sure you widen its scope and base. Feed and grow
your mind with knowledge, always have something inside that makes stand
out. No information or knowledge is too small to be ignored. Nurture
your intellectual personality, give it every weapon of defence it needs.
The society is very hostile, ready to cage you, control, manipulate and
make you see you from another side that most times is not true. That is
why information and knowledge helps in the course of self-discovery,
get highly informed, educated, be free to explore and task your mind,
always ask very crucial questions and live life with every sense of
seriousness and purpose.
5. Build yourself a standard; develop a
working principle, ideology, mentality and expectation. Work on your
self-esteem and always never settle for what will comprise your set
standard and principle it helps in solidifying the act of knowing who
you really are. They are like armour or bullet proof that helps shield
your mind from every form of societal infiltration or invasion. Bethe
one to influence people, rather than always being at the receiving end
every time.
6. Go out and meet people, have an open mind and get
ready to be faced with just anything. Associate with people, learn from
them, get to know how their minds work, get acquainted with what is
happening around you, don’t be rigid, be highly observant and pay
attention to every detail that comes your way. This is a phase where you
present you to the world or society; let them have a feel of who you
are. This a test to confirm if truly you have discovered yourself or you
are still work in progress.
7. Learn the act of sieving words,
picking the useful content and discard the shaft. At this stage you must
have built an impervious mind. A mind that is not fragile and will not
crack or fall at a little push or temptation.
8. Be creative; try
to create your own style, fun, joy, smiles, happiness, desire, passion,
mind, enthusiasm, mentality, ideology, principle, vision and goal.
Build all these with your hands; let your own world be real and
beautiful, so that you don’t live in another man’s/woman’s world. Build
your brand, logo, trademark, identity and energy.
9. Identify
your weakness and strength, never should another man or woman discover
your strength and weakness before you do, it is very dangerous and
risky. We all have a weak side that is why we are mortals, so the
earlier you know them the better for your discovery.
10. Seek the face of God; go to Him to show you the truth about who you are. Ask for the assistance of the holy spirit.
