 BE INTENTional


There is nothing absolutely wrong in  focusing on what works for you at the moment in spite


of a problem in your life.


Problems are wired into the world and it can be a connector to a possible future, range of emotions and possibilities you may never imagined lies within you.


If your marriage is not working at the moment and your "Happy ever after" seem to be an awry of tumultuous adventure doesn't mean your life should be "suspended" or focused on that problem. While you're negotiating a possible balance with your spouse you must not leave other areas of your life unattended. 


You must excel at what your true essence is, all that you were made for before you ever said "I do"


Once, I was scheduled for an event when my sister suddenly passed away. It was such a cold moment being thrown into an unexpected pool of grief. At this moment I had to take on the advice of an elderly couple way back in college who once told me that though we experience or encounter problems in life we must have the courage to pick what's important at each moment. 


I went ahead to schedule the meeting which had a lasting impression and impact on the audience.


My questions: What if I choose to grieve on and miss that moment? Does it mean I love my sister less? Nope! Remember, your pain is not more painful than the person next to  you.  However, we grieve differently.

FEVERISH JUNE

This is one month of the year where expectations are high, anxiety and frustration bloom for many. It is that time when you begin to question whether it will be or not. My very nice friend and colleague once shared with me, that in life, people will always have expectations- you also have expectations. – When will you marry? Married- when are you having children? – Child comes. When are you having another child… and it keeps coming. It is life, don’t get mad, many of them mean well but shirk mockers. It is often a great challenge and sometimes a shaming experience when you don’t have what you should at a time or the things that comes naturally to others is often a jungle toggle for you. Meanwhile, at some point you will be disrespected by those who once respected you especially if they are more privileged than you in acquiring these life assets. They begin to address you in terms of their experience gained where you are lagging. Handle it well. Wow! It is a tough place to b...

The Journey of Becoming: Embracing Every Moment

There is always more to what we will BECOME—the dreams in our hearts, the pain in our chests. The highs and lows. The fleeting thoughts. The disappointing and embarrassing moments. The truths we told. The parts of us that stayed hidden. The stories we shared, the ones we are proud of, and the ones we left untold. The families that shaped us—our hopes, challenges, and desperations. Our nationalities, race, and identities. The clear paths and the undefined. The special moments. The grey days and the ones spent lingering in bed. The days we couldn’t see ourselves for what we could be. The defeating, deafening silence from those we once called friends. The lies we told ourselves about who we really are. The starting over days. The years we lost. The feigned laughter, the genuine one, the fights and quarrels with self and society. The hate, envy, and pretense from others. The ones that kept us going and the ones that brought us down. The moments that hit us where it truly matters. The love,...

BEAUTY FOR ASHES Sometimes in life we count our losses at other times we count our gains and more times than often we’re grateful for our losses, because it was necessary for the present success. Sometimes our pains seem to overwhelm our joys, we feel we’ll not live to see another day, we pray fervently that the day wrap us away along with all our troubles. Thank God not all wish come through, with the speed of light the new day comes with an air of freshness, a relief, all of yesterday’s puzzle are solved just by the arrival of a new friend, a phone call, a knock on the door or through an inspiring daily devotional that we struggle to read at first only to discover that it was specially meant for us to set us on the path for the day, strong enough to bear us wings to fly to the next phase of our life. Most times our pains work out the best, brings out the best in us. Expose our hidden talents, it tells us the more we can do, that we don’t know. Also our disappointment works out the m...
