DON'T YOU LIKE MEETING PEOPLE?

-

That was the question this beautiful friend of mine "Doja" asked me on that lovely Monday morning as we walked towards our respective places of assignment. This wasn't a strange question, but I wonder why I couldn't give her a straight answer.

Here is what I found out, I hope it speaks to someone reading this.

I realised that most of us just hide in our shells in the name of principles, decorum, integrity and all other excuses we give, but in actual sense, what holds us back from breaking out is timidity and fear. Fear of what people will think, fear of what they'll say, fear of how they'll look at us and all that.

Little do we know that we sideline ourselves from the fun in life, we just sit there in the dark corners if our mind, viewing the world only through the windows of our eyes, when we ought to enjoy creation, spirit, soul and body.

I have also cone to understand that those who fall into this kind of category tend to judge others without actually getting to know who they are and what they are capable of. I remember a few years back, I was introduced to this beautiful girl, being a shy person, I didn't wanna over step my bounds. Later on I met this girl at a church gathering, so I tried to get talking with her, now not for the reason mist people may think but to make a new friend. Her response to my greeting was quite cold and her countenance, I didn't consider appealing. I felt she was kinda saucy or proud, who dies she think she is, I thought to myself? I felt down and blamed myself for trying in the first place, little did I know that she was also as shy as I was, if not more shy than I was.  Recently ad I got to know her, I discovered she has a sweet personality, a very humble person.

What I am trying to bring out is that, if we don't break out if our shells we only have a one dimensional view of life and it's dynamics, which is not good for anybody. Also, staying in the corner if your mind, not associating, not mixing, not making friends limits your potentials of progress, coz, you won't be able to cone across some opportunities that could change your life forever, it also damages your human relationship with others, it makes you look like a weird "saddist" is extreme cases.

A lot if reasons could be responsible for this condition, but I wanna speak to your mind, I wanna speak strength to your mind. You need to break free from the prison of your mind, you need to try to love again, you need to learn to trust, you need to break free from the shackles of loneliness tugging at your soul, coz then and only then can you enjoy life like God has made it.
Come to think of it, even Jesus, despite his purpose and spiritual status and security challenge, he still when about meeting new people, doing good.

 Relationships are essential to human growth, development, and progress. You can practically do nothing without the activity of other people Timidity and fear will only lead you to more depression, loneliness, paranoia. That's not a normal life. So, break free, enjoy life like you were created to.

Still on relationships.

YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

Hello there, It's a beautiful week and we are here again to share on something very important, as it concerns just about everyone. It's an affirmation, a word of conviction and confidence and resolve. You are more than enough! Often times, we are faced with situations that make us doubt the ability we have in ourselves to succeed or accomplish whatever it is that is set before us. For some people, it is the memory of past failures, for some others, it is the memory of previous negative experiences, and for some others it is the fear of the unknown and of failing. Also some people are relegated to the zone of impossibility and irrelevance based on what they hear people say about them and what they think/know people to think of them. However, if everyone would understand the power of the mind and harness it, we would really see that there is really nothing impossible to those that believe, just like the bible also says. I once heard someone say that the energy g...

HOPE - THE BEACON OF SURVIVAL

Hey there! Let's talk about hope. Are you at your lowest and it seems like you're never going to come out of that situation? Do you feel like you're in a pit and it feels like you're never going to see the sunshine again? I bet Joseph must have felt the same way when his brothers threw him into the pit, he must have felt like it was the end like it was over for him.  In life, there would always be challenges out to test you to the breaking point, but the reality is that tough season seasons don't last, only tough people do and God will never test you beyong your capacity. One other thing worthy of note is the fact that people who have the greatest destinies encounter the greatest challenges. Now where does hope come into play in the many seemingly hopeless situation may people go through, including someone who might be reading this article? Let me categorically point out that hope does not deny the fact that the challenge exists, hope is not a wo...

VISION! PANAECIA FOR NATION BUILDING

Where do we go from here? This is a fundamental question every well-meaning Nigerian would ask when faced with a prevailing reality.  It is needful to mention from outset that the purport for this article is not set to undermine any political office, personality or party. Neither is it to recount the menace that permeates the socio-political setting of our dear nation- Nigeria. This however is not a gloss over them or a pretence as though they never existed. But it is important to reiterate that the aim of this write up is not to focus on our “pastful” errors, but in little capacity proffer answer to the question “Where do we go from here?”        Notable is the agreeable fact that there wouldn’t have been a today if yesterday never came and had to go. So would tomorrow never come until today is done with and over, and similarly is the adoption of the truism that the decisions of yesterday are ultimately responsible for our state of today.  Niger...
