Little Things

 There once lived this elder statesman who in recounting on his depiction as a success and disciplined man being the mere results of his drive to manage his time. For him, each extra minute he gave to any event meant that some other things would run short of their height. So while many saw a disciplined and principled man, he was simply cautious of time - 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.

Why am I here?

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
