Little Things
World Changers
Once you have alternatives, your preservation in what your
goal is becomes diminished. It does not matter how far gone you are, it does
not matter the shade of obstacles you are facing. A winning mind is that one
that is focused on the goal.

The Lure
We often get carried away with the lure to greater heights
that we seem to forget that if we don’t own today, we can and may never even
reach our vision and dream. The lure to become what we see in our mind eye can
be so tempting that when we are faced with choices, we don’t think before we
make our choices.

My Many Excuses
I did not take my certification exam because my project
needs have been huge. I have had to work day in, day out to meet set target. I
have always wanted this sort of life and he was not fitting into the picture of
my life portrait, so he had to go, after all the expectation of the righteous
shall not be cut off. I am not at the same faith level with her, so you can
understand why she could tarry but I could not. I have always been like this,
so just understand this is who I am. Hmm! I am not born with a 'silver spoon',
otherwise he cannot best me. How I wish I was that handsome or this rich or
that popular, perhaps I could be her prince charming. Excuses!!! We are full of
them.
Why am I here?
Today's thoughts are with us when we find our life at those pits we cannot explain and yet know things ought and can be different. It's for you my friend when life seems to have closed in on you. These lines are for you as you walk through those questions that no one else but you can fathom.

When Support goes wrong
Our life is a simple combination of the real, absurd and
fake. Choosing from the options life throws at us is a serious dilemma we face
daily and most times, it leaves us wondering why life is a continuous iteration
of choices and choices. It is actually these choices that leaves us seeking for
support and find us providing succor to friends, family, colleague, acquaintances
and even strangers who come to us or we meet in the process of our sojourn.

Gridlocks
I was taking a walk a moment ago and I met this terrible gridlock. I was so happy I decided to make the short journey on foot. There was chaos everywhere, no one had the faint respect for who had the right of way. Everyone was in a mad rush to get somewhere and the traffic light was of no use.
Weathered by Storm
Ever wondered why things seem so difficult when we are close to a breakthrough. Whether it be work, marriage, exams, your relationship, that recalcitrant child - whatever? St Monica prayed for years for St Augustine her child - it must have been exhilarating for her. She stayed on her kneels

Suffering and Smiling
Every once in our lives, we encounter those ups and down
that we want to just go away. These times when we are at the lowest ebb of our
existence are not interesting times. Our spirit is broken, our strength is
sapped, and we are just out of depth. This discourse is actually centered on
being through all these and still keeping up appearances. It leaves me wondering
- Why?

Why Do We Kill Each Other?
I had a dream last night and it brought so much memories flooding back. Yet this dream made me stop to ponder - why do people fight over what a simple 'Sorry' could have sufficed. Or better still, why are we often mad over somethings we can live without.

When Everything Looks Bleak
Do you know the times we spend analyzing our challenges are often the times we deepen the problems. I know because I am in such a state. Never mind, I am okay, just some psycho analysis. Now imagine if I can channel that effort to something else? Is it possible?
I have Depth
My Line Manager once asked a colleague this question - You
want deep or you want wide? And then he proceeded to drill down on deep and
wide. Said he, " By deep you are an expert in your field of endeavor. That
way you are an authority, but mind you, you are opinionated and too set in your
ways". "Now for wide, your sphere of influence is vast and you are broad in
perspective". Challenge however is you lose the plot when the issues are
specific and profound.

Of Criticism, the man, his mind, his response
Each time I am faced with criticism, the response is often
not commensurate with the object of my reaction. Even at those times I presume
or make the impression of being affable and open to rebuke; truth is, it’s just
a facade, if not worse. Yet I criticize people and expect them to take it in
their strides.
