Life

Hello, are you good? Yes you! What has been on your mind? Or the question is how has your mind become like this? Well for some, their mind has really become so good and positive. They have grown, healed and become very optimistic about life. They have decided to live their lives with no apology. They have made up their mind to stand up for what they believe in; stand up for what is right, speak up for the voiceless and be very intentional about their life. Oh, I’ll be so glad if that is your story because this is a great perspective to have about life.  I’ve discovered that IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GUARD OUR MINDS! I mean, I cannot emphasise it enough.  The mind is something that no one can see but it is so close to us and so loud in silence. I’ve come to observe people that had the best of intentions and goals about life and family come to a place where they cannot handle or cope with their realities because of what they’ve accommodated in their minds for many years....

I’ve discovered that in life, the way you perceive what happens to you is directly proportional to how emotionally healthy you’ll become. How do you interpret the way people behave toward you and around you? What story is going on in your mind? I’m presently learning that if a person has not fully healed from a dysfunction e.g. childhood dysfunction or even traumatic experiences in life, a person can have a skewed perception of things in life.   Past experience has shaped our understanding of the world and our patterns of thought and behaviour. Experience has taught us to see how to perceive certain situations, what to expect from others or ourselves, and how to behave in different situations. For example, if most of our classroom experiences have been humiliating or unpleasant, we may enter a new classroom ready to fight and defend ourselves, or to be afraid. Culture inclines us to view some behaviours as positive and others as negative.  So it is extremely ...

Each second, minute, hour and day, that passes, time is moving and waiting for no one. It keeps ticking silently but yet so loud. As each day passes by, the question for you and I is, are we positively growing or just remaining at the same spot or stage in life while time keeps flying by?

For lack of a better title, I chose this one! Who fills the person that is always giving and giving in most if not all ways. The one that gives his/her time, strength, money, love, talents, gifts etc to make a difference in people's lives, can most times feel very empty and depleted emotionally, financially and spiritually. This kind of people could be leaders, parents especially single parents (mehn kudos to you because no one can understand your struggle except if they truly walk in your shoes), great influencers, philanthropists etc.  How do you re-fill yourself so that you can fill others? When you're constantly surrounded by endless demands and wants that you need to supply; how do you stay on top of the game?
