I have Proof

I have proof that there's no need to worry about anything. I have proof that God has given us everything we need to live a happy life. I have proof that God gives us everything that is essential to the fulfilment of our purpose. Before I show you my proof. Let me ask, why are you sad, worried and depression? I'm sure your answer probably sounds like "because I DON'T HAVE..."  It's the things we don't have that cause us sadness the most. The things "God hasn't given us" that cause most of us to become depressed.  We somehow have this ideology that our happiness, joy and fulfilment in life is dependent on the acquisition of things that we don't already possess.  "Once I get that degree, I'll be happy and get a good job" We get the degree, only to find out that it doesn't guarantee a good job. We are disappointed but we fail to learn, so we begin the cycle all over.  The next phase might be, "once I get a good job, I...

Nothing is worth your peace of mind.

Nothing is worth your peace of mind.  There's a big difference between working hard to achieve God's purpose for your life AND   labouring for things that are of value,  but not to your life.  You know you don't really need it but because everyone is getting that particular thing, you wanna join them. If you can be sincere to yourself, you'll have more peace. It is pursuing God's purpose for our lives that'll give us the strength to carry on in difficult times.  Whatever God's hands is in,  always get accomplished. He's not confused like us, he finishes whatever He starts in a person's life. But if you decide to follow "trend" instead of God, OYO lo wa o!  Trend doesn't last for long, it's finite,  it has an end. It changes. So while getting an IPhone X was the trend at a time, they brought another one, and I Neva even buy IPhone 1 sef for this lifeπŸ˜‚.   You can't live your life based on trends. If you try to, you'll never b...

Rat Race

  Pre-varsity -  I wanted to go to Oxford or Cambridge university πŸ˜‚. I was so naive and obsessed. Well we know how that turned out.    Undergraduate I was still nursing the idea of leaving - but maybe not Oxford again πŸ˜‚. I wrote to schools, got brochures-hard and soft copies.  I wasn't happy with the school I was in, I needed to leave. I was prepared to leave even at my penultimate year. But I stayed. NYSC - I heard you had to get "certifications" from CIPM, NIM, ICAN, HSE, PMP... to be a "perfect candidate". So I got in the race,  I was crazily obsessed. I was in the race to just win, no idea what I really needed the trophy for. There was the other lane for an MSc too. Who was I not to get into that too? Heard it gives you a better advantage in the society, so they said.🀦🏾‍♀️πŸ˜‚ I worked little and obsessed more on that. Spent that period just worrying and gazing at the next phase, barely noticing the beauty of the present. Postgrad I'm barely halfway i...
