I enjoy that part of my day, When I lay in my bed, ready to slip into dreamland. How sad all the scenarios I had conjured in my mind, Words I have left unsaid. If only I had the courage to speak. But I was afraid, I was scared to say. I am afraid of being heartbroken I am in trepidation of being rejected People will vibrate if it end up in divorce Or what if I become widowed? Oh no that I can't conjure This is the reason I remain single. For the fear of failure, I deprived myself the pleasure of success. I look into the dark ahead, I gave up even before I began Because I am afraid o...

A lot of things happen in life, yes! The blind can see that, the deaf can hear it, the dumb are saying it again and again, it is crystal clear, thus, we conclude that life does not give us want we want or deserve, life seems or it is not fair to everyone. We strive for greatness, then something goes so wrong that we find it difficult to take a step further. Hence, the "when life gives you lemon, make lemonade". It is a fact that lemon is sour and lemonade is sweet. Making lemon  into lemonade means turning an unpleasant situation into a pleasant one. It is easier said than done but it is true that from a bitter situation, we can get a deeper sweetness, every well-managed condition is a blessing.

I regret doing every bit of what I did for them” those are the word of a man that had let the worry of ingratitude takes a large chunk of his life A quarter of us indulge ourselves in the orgy of self-pity of ingratitude. We worry about those children we raised that we thought were not appreciative enough, we worry about worker that were not thankful enough,  we worry about those whose live we’ve saved an couldn’t bother to atop an say ’thank you’ The first thin to note here is:  If we really want tackle ingratitude I that we should learn that IT IS PART OF THE HUMAN NATURE - IT IS HUMANE A story was told of a woman that raised 6 of her nephews when they were small; she housed them, nursed them through the measles, fed them and got them educated.

. Few years ago, I had no thoughts of writing and when I did I only wanted to write about not giving up, reach out to as many people as I can and put a full stop to it. I can remember that evening I asked a friend and mentor: Me:Can I write? Him:Do you think you can? Me:I don't know and that's why I am asking Him:Believe you can and you will. For so many days I sat down in my room wondering if I really could do that, I was figuring it out! Few months ago, I knew I just wanted to write, it has become a passion, I have figured that part out(Thanks to God). Today I am writing, though still growing but I am writing and will keep getting better because it gives me a sense of fulfillment.
