I hate you! 😡

Yes and I mean it!

I mean why will you tell me to my face I did something wrong even when others support me😟

I see nothing wrong in what I did!🤷

My dear there is everything wrong in what you did...her friend Tonia said

Remember the fact that we are friends does not mean I shouldn't tell you the truth and be factual with you when you are on the wrong path...that is what we call valued friendship! She continues'

Come on! You should have at least cover up for me now and not tell it to my face harshly, Lade said with a sad face

My dear if I pamper you and tell you nicely sometimes you don't listen and I wouldn't want you to repeat the same thing again and see it as no big deal now Lade..she said

Remember you rebuke me too whenever I'm in this kind of mess so you should too... remember I love you and I want the best for you, she said with a light pat at lade's back

Hmm...well, oh..oo..oo..okay then, thank you! Lade said with a rolled eyes and light smile. FICTION

Sometimes what we hope true friendship should be is not always the case

While some don't really understand the concept of true friendship

👉True friendship is someone who knows a lot about you and us ready to stand by you at every moments, one who is not scared of rebuking when necessary

While some believe that as a true friend you should be able to defend them and stay loyal to them even when they are wrong ❌

A true friend should be ready to stick with you not only because of what you have to offer or give but also because of the values she sees in you and the willingness to want to complement you despite your weakness

That is what we call 'love of friendship'

✓A true friend is trustworthy
✓supportive
✓have similar interests and values as you
✓stay through tough times
✓complement you
✓wants the best for you
✓consistent and loyal..

So the question is..are you willing to true to whatever friendship you have?

Do you value whatever friendship you have?

Have a great day!

I really want people to see the good I'm doing🤔

I want them say 'i'm doing well' 👏

This might come to our minds often when we want to help people

Or when we want to take the step of being on the right side or doing what is good

But you should ask yourself..

Why do you take on that decision you are taking is the first thing you should ask yourself..

Because of people??🤷

Just so you can impress them

Or you want their praise and commendation from every angle?

Or you want the fame and recognition that comes from doing that?

Or it is really coming from your heart

You just want to help out or be on that good side because you want people's happiness

You understand their situation better because you've once been there and you try your best to do whatever you can to help out

You want to help out, you want to do good because it makes you happy

So which reason for doing good will you choose?

For fame or recognition by people or for genuine love you have for people?

Let us re-examine our reasons for doing what we are doing

Only then can we re-adjust ourselves and see better reasons to make better decisions

You can start now!

Good morning to you!

Oh please! I need to give my all

I really need to get up from my fall

I need to keep on moving

I need not to give up

Yes these are quick motivations you need to give yourself

These are what you should speak to yourself everytime

You know why?

Because you are your first motivation

You are the you to inspire you when no one is there

As people have their various life to live

They have their struggles they face

They have their individual challenges they are dealing with

They might as well be looking for someone to give them the needed motivation too

They need someone to lean on too when tense situations arises

A reason you need to help yourself first

You need to self motivate yourself when no one is there to

Just by getting the needed motivation and strength

You might just be able to extend the needed motivation to other weaker individuals too

So in a way you extend and increase the motivational cycle

You encourage other people to motivate and get motivated

You make yourself happy

You get yourself moving

You infect others positively by your self motivating attitude

So never be discouraged

Rather pray for the needed motivation

Celebrate your wins no matter how small or little

Focus on things that motivate you

Oh my!

I know how difficult it can be

I know how intense it is right now

I can see the present situation

I can imagine what circumstances you might be experiencing

At one or other times, we have found ourselves at times like this

But you know the beautiful thing..

Is the fact that you can still breathe

The fact that you can still talk

The fact that you can still reason and feel pain

The fact that you can still realize and understand your present situation

The fact that you have LIFE

Is all enough to be thankful!

Because as the saying goes 'when there is life there is hope'

Your situation can still be fixed

Your circumstances can still be turned around

That problem can still be solved

All you need to do is to STAY POSITIVE

Irrespective of what you face

That alone gives you the needed strength to face and conquer whatever it is you are experiencing

So never forget to keep being THANKFUL for the GIFT OF LIFE

25/03/2022

Hello great people!

Good morning to you all

How was the night?

Hope you never forgot one thing?

That you are always on our minds

We know how much we really need motivations from time to time as well as educate on the other hand

This is what keeps us going actually

So never forget to tell someone to tell someone to kindly follow us for continuous motivating content

Stay positive! We love you

21/03/2022

How am I going to start?

I mean this write-up

Especially with a good heading

Does that catch you enough? 😅

If yes, we can continue then

Giving has been for a long time now

But what makes it stand out is the reaction of the action itself (giving)

Don't understand? Follow along

How do you feel when someone or a family member gives you something you needed or been looking for?

Are you not happy.. of course you are!

That is one of the many benefits GIVING does

You are thankful and genuinely happy they rendered the help as it comes in handy

Meanwhile, you don't have to have the money to give out

You can give out your resources, money or time...

Funny thing is we underestimate how contagious it is to GIVE OUT

When we give, we encourage other people to give too

They are moved by our kind actions and also want to do same to make others happy

So we can say it encourages social connection

Still following...

Let's endeavor to give out when we can

It's not just about money

What some people need is our quality time...time to create beautiful memories together either as friends, families or partners

It might our efforts, sacrifice towards these ones

Whatever it is, let it come straight from your heart ♥️

Good morning!

Have ever dreamed of taking a step to start something huge and you want it perfect; you feel it's not big enough or not the perfect size

Have you thought of giving someone a gift and you just feel the size is too small and you want the huge perfect size

Realistically, have you been wanting to start a business or build your brand but you just want everything in place, the right people to work with you or just enough money to start

Ever thought of starting a savings plan but thought to yourself 'i need to start with something tangible'

All these and many other scenarios are what we experience most times

But do you know something that

Just like a LITTLE drop of WATER makes up an OCEAN

So also..

✓You don't have to wait until it's perfect
✓You don't have to wait until the have it all to yourself
✓You don't have to necessarily gift out the biggest gift ever to please someone...it might just be something little , special and unique that touches such ones deeply
✓You don't have to have all the business tools to yourself or a lot of money to start a business you've been wanting to
✓You don't have to start making your savings with a huge amount of money...

Because when you keep doing that and keep waiting until you have it all..

✓You would have wasted a lot of time doing that
✓You would have deprived yourself of the opportunity of giving yourself a trial
✓You have also deprived yourself of getting a first hand experience from taking that step
✓You have totally closed the outcome your free trial might bring about; either positive or negative

Instead of being hesistant about a lot of things or waiting for it to be perfect

Just take a step!

No matter the level or point you find yourself

Once you have a willing heart to start from a little step

You grow from that point into a large army

An unstoppable mighty one
..and It only gets better day by day

So never let that kind of mindset deter you from starting small

Even if the end result is not what you really admire

You'll learn from it and gain the needed experience

Start Somewhere today!

You might just be happy you did

08/03/2022

I just can't go on anymore!

I can't continue to keep up with this while all I get is 'no result'..
....I said to myself silently

Why would I keep exerting efforts and still get reversed back to zero🤷

At least some are doing little and getting result🤔

What could I be possibly doing wrong?🤦

Worrying questions and thoughts might evolve from our minds

Especially when you think you have done all you can to keep up

When you have given all the ideas you have in your head

When you have used all the strategies in this world
..but it's still not working..
.and you think the next thing for you is to GIVE UP

Is to throw all and walk away

But you never realize that those whom you admired up there actually started from points of many fails a level of many successes

They failed but never gave up

We have tremendous examples of these ones all around

So why can't you just be motivated by them

Just maybe what you need is to sit down to give yourself a proper thinking as to why things are always like that

Or why they always end up that way

Probably all you need to do is just to redesign your plan

Or restrategize your methods and see better areas or approach to take

Or maybe we just need the advice or suggestions of an experienced Individual up there

That might make things work out easily or spot us on

Having one main goal in mind NEVER TO GIVE UP but to GIVE YOUR BEST

But of course you should know when to put a STOP

After much trial and effort

Going back to the table to have a redesign and it still not works

Then it is time to ROLL IT OVER to the one who knows it all

One and only CREATOR

Who would help you out with the necessary clarity and insight

Because too much focus on one thing over and over again without much result even after much effort can drain you of your sanity

Hence the need to give your best shot at anything you want to do and know when to STOP!
.and trust in GOD!

'I said stop speaking.. I've heard you'!

An employee in a Telecommunications company said to me in a commanding tone..

And I'm like ' why would she use that kind of tone with me?'

It's not like I've known her somewhere before or I offended her in anyway

All I came to do was get a product and take my leave as soon as I'm able to get it...and all I get to receive is 'a rude directive; a commanding one at that!' all because I asked a question..🤷

'That's just too much' I kept thinking and I recalled how she acted so cold the day before I was there too as I couldn't get my product that day and was asked to come the following day..

This old woman was possibly in late 70's to early 80's..

As old as this woman is she explained she has been coming around to get this product but for sometime now but wasn't available and she needed it so bad..

Even if the products wasn't available she could have acted better as she responded so cold to her

I felt bad for this struggling old woman and how she must have felt

That was not too good! I said to myself..

Why didn't she give her a warm comforting reply?

Why would she sound so cold?

Why won't she assist her in whatever little way she can to reduce her troubled mind?

A lot went through my mind with my own experience with her too and all I can conclude is 'she is not one with a good WORK ETHICS......

FICTION!
_______________________________

Now many people use to think that once you are good at what you do, then you definitely pass for a good employee

Many even believe once you have the talent and skills necessary then your WORK ETHICS is just great👏

Some on the other hand has the mindset that you have all it takes as a worker when you are productive

But whatever happens to being 'responsible, fair and respectful'

To all; to your employees, boss and people we deal with at work

Because that will show
✓Our good WORK ETHICS
✓We respect everybody
✓We don't look down on anyone
✓We are responsible

Let us endeavor to check ourselves if truly we are displaying the RIGHT WORK ETHICS at our various workplaces and see ways to work more on it and improve in such areas

Because people are watching your kind of person

27/02/2022

I'm not good enough!

Have you ever had those kinds of thought?

The feeling of inadequacy

The feeling that others are better than you
..that they are good looking than you are
..that they are more experienced than you are
..that they have all it takes to be successful but you don't

It can go on and on like that..

But what you fail to realize is that

🔹there is no one like you
🔹that you are unique in your own special way
🔹that you are beautiful or handsome in your own way
🔹that you are good and even better if only you drive out the gift within you and seek to improve yourself

But you have failed to see all these beautiful things about yourself

Because you have consistently compared yourself to other people

and because of your consistent comparison..

You have allowed feelings of fear and inadequacy to fly around the place

So much that it has become difficult to appreciate yourself

As you regularly use other people's standards to measure every steps or decisions you make
..and infact it is affecting you greatly

But should I tell you another secret?

There is a 'secret someone' who is really wanting to be like you

Who admires every of your look that you detest

Who is in love with what you do; what you think you are not doing right

So you see..

That people are there secretly admiring 🔹your look
🔹your courage
🔹your work
🔹your strong will and determination
🔹your positive attitude
🔹your hardwork
🔹your beautiful mind

So come on!

Stand back up and regain your confidence

Only when you stop the comparison and start appreciating yourself

Will that be possible!

Have you at a time lost your confidence?

Share with me!

Lolade thought to herself..'i really have this business to start up but I'm scared! I don't even have an experience in this busimess line at all'...Lolade continued thinking out loud to herself

Coming from the room, Peter; Lolade's brother walked past and noticed Lolade in a worried state as it was obviously written all over her face. So he paused and asked ' what is it again you this girl'? She continued by saying ' it's nothing really, I just have this business I've been thinking of starting, it's really what I want to do and I know it will also kudi to the pocket..you know now' Lolade smiled while hitting her brother by the arm

Peter sat her down and asked the problem was since she has her goal...'why can't you start already, or you need some money for capital'?...she murmured..No! money is not the issue, 'i'm just scared, 'WHAT IF' it doesn't work out'?

Peter calmed her down and said to her ' it is normal to have those feelings of fear because it is something we have never tried out before, but you see ehn..you just need to start face your fears and give it a trial' he said while patting her back

'You might just be surprised at the outcome even when you have ZERO experience' Peter said further..' and even if you fail, you can always learn from it and stand back on your feet'..Lolade seem to have a mood change after the motivational talk from his brother; Peter!........FICTION!

Now what is it that you might have in mind of starting?
✓Is it a business
✓a certain target
✓a training
✓an impact program or goal

What is stopping you?
✓Fear?
✓Failure?
✓What people will say?

Is that it? Now do you know something

Of you allow FEARto serve as a KING in your LIFE then it becomes very difficult to accomplish anything as this would always come in place to take rulership of every of your decisions

If you allow possibility of FAILURE to stop you from going for whatever it is you want..then you might just continue to be at the reverse side of everything

What about the fear or thought of 'WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY'..it can be also be there when we focus on other people rather than ourselves

So nothing should stop us from taking a step towards our goals not even failure

I feel so down and weak..

Why would this keep happening to me?

I don't feel like associating with anybody now

I just want to be alone!

Someone once mentioned on LinkedIn that we sometimes come across these words from people

Either when they express themselves physically or through various social media platforms

The question is..what was our reaction or step on seeing people in such mood?

Sometimes it is just so hard

We all are experiencing tense situations

Some people are fortunate enough to find the strength to open up

When they open up to the right people, it only gets better

As they are helped to have a rethink and reshape of their mindset

On the other hand, some do not get the strength to, they rather keep it in

And this is very dangerous as they are in their own thoughts

They start to withdraw back to themselves

If not properly kept in check, odd thoughts starts to set in..

Realistically speaking! Over here mental health is underated

We don't see reasons to check ourselves or redefine our thoughts

But it is good to know that..

We get uplifted despite our situations..

When we encourage ourselves from time to time

Everyone has issues they are faced with

But when we reach out sometimes to people, we see the need for more encouragement

It might just take listening to the person pour out his or her mind

Or providing encouragement or help in whatever way we can

Doing this might just be life saving!

Appreciation and support too goes a long way in upliftment

When we give sincere appreciation or commendation to people when they deserve it

When we tell them 'I love what you are doing' or 'Weldone for your hardwork' or 'you are doing a great job'

We gladden their heart and motivate them to want to do more

We in a way give them moral support!

No one is perfect!

We will not all work on this in a day

But the willingness to accept and work on valuable lessons learnt from time to time is what matters

I'll also want to keep working on myself to encourage, support and appreciate other people

To strengthen and to possibly save a life👌

I'm sure you would want to do same too..

What am I going to eat?

My sandals are already looking beautiful beyond repair; what will I do when I don't have another?

My family's rent is almost up, where would the next one come from?

I've consistently worn this cloth and it's faded already, I think I need to get another soon, but how?

What will tomorrow look like?

I think these are questions that we have one way or the other at different times asked ourselves

Because we have at different times found ourselves in situations like this

And It is perfectly normal to ask questions like this

It is normal to have those kinds of feelings that follows

Because we are humans

Because we are concerned for ourselves

Because we are concerned about life

Because we want to care for our own

Because we love and want to care for those close to our hearts

The present condition or the location we find ourselves can even make it worse

But you know what?

Have you ever sat down to observe the beautiful birds of the earth?

Have you observed the lilies of the earth...

Do you know how they feed?

Do you know who takes care of them?

But somehow you notice they are always fed and taken care of

Jehovah takes care of these ones

If Jehovah does take care of them, how much more we humans (Matt. 6: 26-30)

Do you have that trust?

It is normal to be anxious because you care

But there is need to keep that worry in check

Because you know why? It can't solve anything

It rather adds more problem to the one on ground

Rather try your best possible about the problem and leave the rest to Jehovah

Try to have a constructive smooth relationship with him

Focus on him alone and other things surely follows (Matt. 6:32-33)

If it seems difficult and weighs you down so much

Pray to him to help you have a calm and trusting heart ♥️

You will surely be happy you did

You might just be surprised when you start to see results from giving your full self completely to him and trusting matters in his hands

How can you keep up your faith in him continuously?

Let's have a Bible discussion

19/02/2022

Hehy! Can't you say 'thank you' ?

Lol! I remember when I still very young

Mothers will always pull back our ears and say those words at the beginning to us anytime friends or their friends gives us something

To show how important those words were then and still is now

Those words still rings anytime I find myself around that situation

As short as those words are

They are powerful!

Words like 'thank you', 'I'm sorry', 'please'....

These words can save and at the same time destroy 👌

Yes destroy!

In a heated situation whereby no one is ready to accept fault and someone just calms and says 'sorry'

The other person might be become weak and walk away

Then peace reigns

What of if it continues.... don't you think it could be violent?

One thing is sure..

We will always experience different acts from people

Because we obviously come from different homes and backgrounds

Even from the same homes sef, their personalities are different

Some people intentionally step on our toes and pretend we are the one at fault

Just to provoke us to get a reaction

A simple I'm sorry might just be it and even if it doesn't, you'll know you've done your part..people might step in for you

A simple 'thank you' shows our sincere appreciation or gratitude towards what another person has given to or done for us

A sign that we are not taking these ones for granted and that they matter

This not only shows how appreciative you are but also gladdens the heart of your helper

Saying 'please' only shows the level of humility you have and the fact that no one is entitled to you

It demonstrates good manners and shows how polite we are

We all want to inculcate these little things we don't count because they matter in our everyday life

These words demostrates proper manners

It is said that when we make effort to focus and practice little things like this

It becomes easier when bigger situations comes

We all need to work on this

Parents too need to teach their kids proper manners like this

Note: It takes self control sometimes to withdraw back and accept what is not our fault by saying sorry,it is not easy as we are not perfect
But we can always pray for that

19/02/2022

Yes we are back and better!💪

We shall continue our regular updates and class very soon

Dm me for further info

T for thanks!

I mean who are you??

Yes who...tell me?

This has been the response of so many people to other people they look down upon

They have consistently looked down either through their words or by actions

It might look as if they don't act that but their words obviously prove that

How does the feeling look like?😅

Do you feel good about yourself or you really take pleasure in looking down on other people?🤷

Or you feel at this level and position you have found yourself you can't relate with anybody below you or with a certain condition...

I'm sure you have forgotten how it all started before you got to that level

You have tasted what if feels like and you hate it so much when people do that to you..

So why do same to other people now🤷

Just maybe you come from the 'have it all' family right from time after all
..so obviously I don't know how it feels🤷

But remember this 'you never know what the future holds'

You might be given the biggest shock of your life when things just start to turn around negatively for you

I mean, no one is praying for that🤷

But you just a mere human who knows nothing about the future!

So take a strict review of how you see yourself or other people

Just probably you don't know you now act that way

It might be as a result of your new found level or position

So a proper check or review from yourself and other people might help to regain back your true self

Because as humans we are not perfect

But the willingness to want to make changes into a real new you is what matters

Remember 'the proud' never sees any reason for changes

But humility is an underated priceless quality that helps mold us into a responsible sweet you that sees everybody as one

So make you take an jeje, the floor might just be slippery

Good morning!

'I wish I could just change my present situation...

Chai! I don't even understand why things are like this for me... why can't I just be like Temi, she has everything; the beauty, brain and money
Even at that age she's been able to accomplish a lot of things and see me here still struggling to leave school 🤦

You keep thinking hard you said what was initially stated at the beginning of the post

Now what are you going to do about it? The fact that Temi has everything you wished for and you don't have..what will you do?

Do you know that our thoughts actually breeds action

If we are not careful, unnecessary comparison and unrealistic wishful thoughts at that point in time might drive us into taking decisions we might later regret

Do not get this twisted!

It's very possible you have goals and plans that you wish for later in the future

I mean we all want to get better and have some form of self improvement

But the point is, at that period or phase in our life..are we content?

Are we content with what you have or your present situation even when you know you are doing your best in everything..

Contentment will bring you some form of happiness, you find happiness within yourself and the little things you think you might have accomplished

Even when you wish for more, you are not hesitant or trying so hard to get these things at the present moment

You live simply simple, happy and satisfied while sticking to what you need and not your want

You even influence the people around you, those whom you relate with because just like you are content you don't expect more than necessary from them

Contentment goes a long way in having an healthy lifestyle

We can try harder to live in the moment and be happy for whatever we are and what we have achieved at the moment
