GRATITUDE

-
I left home sometimes back with a burdened heart even though I managed to let out a smile. I kept pondering and dealing with my inner conflict throughout my journey to school.

I was on the staircase, when something happened. I was jolted to reality by a sharp pain. Someone had mistakenly pushed me and the normal me would have shouted but I didn't know why I was calm. "I'm sorry", came the voice while I replied same. He furthered by saying " could you please lead me to room 202?" Only then did I discover he was visually impaired.

One thing that caught my attention was the fact that he was all smiles, full of joy and greeted everyone as I led him to his destination but here I was looking all gloomy because I couldn't get a particular thing. Such a paradox, right? 

Often times, we brood and fail to be grateful for what we have because we can't get that particular thing we want but those who are not privileged to have that little still find it in their heart to give thanks.

Learn the act of thanksgiving, imbibe it and use it daily. It goes a long way.

N.B I know the week is still quite young but would you mind sharing your experience(s).

    We would definitely be happy always if only we learn to count our blessings.

    Exactly, happiness isn't the content of our Pocket but that of our heart, only a grateful spirit understands this.

DETERMINE YOUR CIRCLE

  I was going through my telephone address book dated 2008/2014 yesterday and discovered that I was no longer in contact with 90% of the people I had recorded therein. It is not like they became a bad person all of a sudden but there is every plausibility that we outgrew each other's relevancy. Now this is the real deal. Life is in stages and so is growth and development. Consciously or unconsciously, there are numbers of behaviour cum people you leave as you grow. You are not doing this because you feel you can just use and dump them but solely because you need people who shares the same ideology, dreams and visions with you. The people you surround yourself with goes a long way in determining the rate at which you achieve your purpose. However, I smile when I hear people say they keep small circle because they don't want drama. Of a truth, no one loves drama. Having a small or large circle is not the bone of contention but the value they add to your life.  This is th

Fashion rule says do not over dress or under dress; in all things keep it classy, simple and elegant with the right accessories that blend with the occasion. But we have, at some point, gone against this rule. Today I will be sharing my own fashion gone wrong series. Sit, relax and enjoy. My first fashion gone wrong experience could be traced back to when I was in SSS 3. We all could attest it to it that there is this aura affiliated to being in that class which ranges from being the senior of all classes to the independence that is soon to come. Being a boarder, we had little or no time to showcase our sweet body and fashion sense as we were clad in oversized check uniforms throughout the school term time. So our only escape route was during jamb. Oh yes! Everyone wanted to look peng to the exam hall. Prior to the exam day, we had selected our clothes and shoes, carefully pressed them and hanged them waiting for the D-day. On the eve of the exam day, everyone kept talking of
