Why do people become addicted to alcohol? I'm not here to preach against alcohol or to explain the dangers of drinking alcohol, which you may already be aware of, especially for those who are addicted to it but they choose to ignore the damage that is been done by consuming alcohol and only focus on the moment at which they consume alcohol because they regard it as being a way of getting away from people, work, family in all together getting away from stress. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` The fact remains that almost every alcoholic discover alcohol when they were teenagers, when we were much younger the only approval we need is the one from our parents and as we go through adolescence we make this transition where we now need the approval of our friends though this doesn't apply to everyone..... This stage is highly stressful and anxious period of our lives and we are supposed to learn to rely on our friends. Some discover alcohol by accident and the numbing defect of dopamine to help them cope with stress and anxiety of adolescence and unfortunately that becomes hardwired in their brains and for the rest of their lives when they encounter significant stress or problem they would not turn to a person but they would prefer turning to a bottle of alcohol which wouldn't do anything of help. You might say why do people drink so much?...... Do they enjoy drinking alcohol?... I have tasted alcohol to be sincere and I actually didn't see what's sweet about it and it has this burning taste that hurt your lungs while consuming it, it was like I was suffering myself while drinking it and I had to stop and since then I haven't tasted anything alcoholic... When you ask anyone that is addicted to alcohol this question “why do they drink alcohol?"... They tend to say it's great and that's the only time they feel as themselves and take risk without thinking of the consequences but they ignore the part that thy do stupid things while drunk, you hurt yourself, you compromise your health and with time it screws up your life. You all know the sensation when you are really intoxicated and have to beg to God to pull you out of it and promise yourself that you would never drink again since you were incredibly drunk, vomiting, and experiencing headaches, chronically dehydrated all at the same time, This should be enough to convince you that being addicted or hooked to alcohol is deadly; you're continually harming yourself, and the only way out is to withdraw. I know it's never easy to overcome an addiction, but it is theoretically feasible... Give it a start today and you will see what you're missing as time goes on. Why is it pretty hard to find a professional athlete who is a drunkard? It's because they know it will ruin their career, and the only time they can devote to drinking is when they retire, that's why you see most of the athlete when they retire just two months they are already out of shape. Today is never too late to quit alcohol give it a try Andi hope it works out. Thanks for reading ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Let me end this article with an inspirational message from **“XXX TENTACION"** before he left this world, he said **“don't look at everything else as a problem just look at yourself and see how you can change yourself to where nothing bothers you, to where you're unbothered by a lot of things, to where life doesn't exactly affect you in that manner. It's changing your perception that kinda changes the world around you because it's the small things that we don't appreciate and in other to appreciate everything you have to be very analytical and being analytical you will start to observe the world in a different manner, even how you approach people and even how you move, even how you think. If you change the way you think you will change the way you perceive the world".**

Sometimes all you have to do is learn to be absolutely silent and go about your business. Today was a really complex and challenging day for me because I had to do some household chores because I hadn't been to my room in my parents' house in over 7 months, and I also had to leave my grandparents' apartment because she was leaving the next day ( within 2 weeks she would be back) and I thought it would be nice to go over to my parents house for the two weeks, on getting there immediately I opened my room it was like someone haven't been here over 3 years and I had no option than to clean it. Traveling there was exhausting, and arriving to find my room in the same state as when I left it was amusing because none of my sisters had been around, so there was no one to clean or disseminate everything. immediately I got there I began cleaning and within 30 minutes I was done and the next thing on my mind was to play ball because I still remember vividly very well that before 4 pm, guys do gather around at one field close by, so I had to call my friends that I'm around and who's down for football. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` We finally meet up and I was happy to see them after a very long time and while walking down to the football pitch we all discussed what we've been doing and how is the current ASUU strike affecting us and by the way I also introduced them to read.cash and show them the importance of BCH and what can be achieved using this site and the do and don't of the site and I hope they join soon because I have share my link to them...... to cut the story short we arrived at the pitch and we discovered people are still warming up and I already know the type of guy I'm, that I quickly gas out so I decided not to warm up, so I had to look for a shade to sit under. Immediately sat down, and I noticed a rowdy person (known as an agbero in Nigeria) named Temiyemi, who was a massive man with well-developed muscle, who had stopped a tipper truck diver, and the conversation went like this: **Temiyemi;** pay before passing through this road, this is not federal road even though this is federal road Omo ijoba ni mi ( the Omo ijoba means I'm a federal child) **Tipper Truck driver:** but you're aware that I paid those at the gate before entering this place, so why can't you meet them for your own share **Temiyemi**: everything you're saying is none of my business, just pay my money or else you're no passing **old women around:** temiyemi let them pass na, do you want to cause another trouble here? **Temiyemi response to the old women;** you guys should face your problem, this is my own problem... Everyone was pleading with him, but he didn't pay any attention... they argued for nearly 30 minutes until an elderly man driving by had to stop, and as soon as he came down, I saw temiyemi hailing and embracing the man, and I exclaimed thank God, this drama would finally end now and I would finally play my football in peace and before I could turn back to focus on those guys warming up because the match was about to start... I heard Temiyemi's voice again, yelling, "is it because I hail you and respect you, you think that means I'll do everything you want me to do," and he continued to hurl abuse at the man continuously and I said to myself this man shouldn't have stopped while driving by and I was certain at that moment that regret ever stopping by. To my amazement, none of the older women intervened when he was hurling hateful words at the elderly man, and he even threatened to attack him, but lads playing football on the pitch had to step in because he had finally crossed his threshold and at first I saw Temiyemi hitting one of the men who was attempting to make peace, and before I knew it, all the guys playing football had all converged around Temiyemi and dealt with him severely, and it was the same elderly man who he had been assaulting who had to ask them to leave him alone. and immediately they leave him alone, he quickly hit the man and he ran away.... we all laughed because he already hurt the man at first and the elderly man gave him a second chance and he still hurt him again. Then I realized that sometimes you just have to keep your mouth shut and keep moving since you can wind up enduring what isn't meant for you. Thanks for reading ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beauty Of Commitment There's a lot of beauty in commitment, we are in that era where by a lot of us do not commit to different things that will assist us while experiencing development in our lives. We are interdependently committed to concentrating on things that attract pain and sadness, to paying much attention to the negative, to putting the emphasis on things that make us appear unworthy...... To be sincere enough of beauty is never derived from what I have listed above. There are unlimited importance of commitment in all areas of life including the romantic relationship and the kind of relationship we have towards ourselves..... Whenever we hear things like being committed to someone there's this urge that tends to rise up and make us lose interest in such conversation but if the topic would have been “would it be nice if we have someone that's 100% fully committed to us"... We tend to listen because that's what we want and we forget “**that you can't have what you can't give".** If the conversation was like “would you want to know what will happen if you're fully committed to yourself" to be fully committed to self respect or fully committed to a routine that makes you feel empowered.... People tend to avoid listening to that because they Don't want that because all they want is to find someone who's ready to be fully committed to them because that would be very nice. Being devoted to oneself can be a method of being committed to one's ambition, and in this way, you'll be driven and inspired, and your aspirations will serve as the catalyst you need to attain your goals...... The beauty of commitment is that it can sometimes make us versatile enough that we don't have to operate in the manner that society wants us to perform because there is a so-called traditional procedure to be effective in this life..... But have you for once tried to reason that “could there be a better way to success" than just following the normal routine. We've heard of different stories that inspire us anytime we listen or read about them, we wouldn't have read about those stories if those individuals haven't put their hearts and souls into their ambitions and that's the beauty because after which they achieve what they want, their story alone still inspire others. When NASA decided to land on the moon, they succeeded, but their greatest achievement will not be the part where they got there, Though it is a part of the accomplishment, what is particularly impressive about them attaining that particular goal is the technology they were able to develop along the road to arrive at the moon. Sometimes you won't see results, and occasionally it won't play out, and sometimes you'll start to doubt your sanity, and your friends may also doubt your sanity, but it shouldn't stop you from trying because there will come a time when your commitment will lead you down a magnificent route that will lead you to your objectives, but along the way, you will undoubtedly encounter and acquire information that will enable you sustain your greatness when it emerges. Thanks for reading 💚💚💚💚💚 Hope what you're committed to won't fail you.... Kindly check out my awesome sponsors

Life as A Spoon, Cup And Jug ; The Choice Is Yours To Make My previous article I was able to give details on why anger doesn't bring forth fruitfulness and it only leads to more problems and I also gave a real life story that backed it up and the narrative clearly demonstrates that some events occur solely to bring you closer to a person, and that is exactly what occurred. However, if I had let my anger jeopardize me, the conversation I had with my cousin would not have occurred, and I would have lost both ways. You can check the full article out here. I concluded the article by quoting this ***“anger doesn't lead to anything good and it will only worsen the situation."*** https://read.cash/@Freedom007/anger-doesnt-bring-forth-fruitfulness-it-only-leads-to-more-problems-35a9a0ac `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` We all have various perspectives on life, diverse definitions of success, and most interestingly, we can be anybody or whatever we want as long as we stay on the correct track. Although my definition of success may differ from yours, the vast majority of people define success as having sufficient money to buy whatsoever they desire, with some definitions going beyond that. That's why I brought up this topic **“ life as a spoon, cup and jug, the choice is ours to make".** ****LIFE AS A SPOON**** Life as a spoon, I'd characterize it as having expectations but not aspiring for more because it can't amass more than the apertures it has to carry any liquid or semi-liquid substance and if it try to do that it might break or bend depending on the weight of what it intends to carry. If our lives were like spoons, we'd be open to a plethora of chances and benefits, but we wouldn't be able to grasp them all since our desire for larger things is so modest and when we achieve anything, we consider it the pinnacle of our success; you can achieve more, and you're willing to, but you can't because you can't sustain what's bigger than you. ****LIFE AS A CUP**** Life as a cup: this lifestyle is far superior to that of a spoon, and you have higher objectives for success, and your definition of success is far more expansive than that of a spoon, and most spoons rely on cup to be productive or significant. Living a life of cup means, you have people depending on you for them to be successful just like how cup get what it needs to carry for cup and vividly whatever happens to you also affect others depending on you. Life as a cup is good but still not the best because cup itself depends on another source for it to get filled up, so why don't you become that source filling up the cup. ****LIFE AS A JUG**** Life as a jug is a life that spoon and cup hope they could have, but it appears difficult for them to have given their abilities and what they could occupy, even though they all serve for various purposes and They are the best at what they do, but the significance of both the cup and the spoon is determined by the jug though they can still serve as other purpose though. Living a life of jug means that your definition of success is considerably broader than the cup and spoon approach, and that your success means that others who serve under you will also be likely to succeed and You're like a leader, and people will recognize whatever orders you give them; whatever happens to you has an impact on others who rely on you, and you're more open to new prospects and you can grab hold of them because you have the space to occupy them unlike that of spoon and cups. Life as a jug is wonderful, but it isn't perfect, and we can find something worthwhile than a jug because a jug depends heavily on another source to be significant, so we can be that source that hag makes it significant and that source also have it's own source and continuously goes on like that**. “There's never a limit to what we regard as being successful".** Thanks for reading ❣️❣️❣️❣️

Anger Doesn't Bring Forth Fruitfulness It Only Leads To More Problems Finally I'm back home due to recent happenings in my hostel and I couldn't think of spending another week over there because I will definitely lose my mind and obviously get extremely bored since most of my friends have left the hostel for their different home, so making new friends within that short time won't work for me because It's kinda hard for me. So, since it's a Sunday and there's a good chance there won't be any traffic on the way home, I decided to take advantage of it by departing the hostel early in the morning, and lo and behold, there was no traffic, so I arrived home quite early and I was happy since it's been a while I have gone home and on getting home the happiness quickly turned to anger within an hour. Few hours after I arrived home, I had to organize the books I brought along and some of my assignments inside the sitting room because no one was there and my grandmother rarely visits the sitting room whenever she's around, After that, I did what I was intended to do, and before I know it, I was dozing off in my bedroom while conversing with a new buddy on Instagram. I finally woke up within an hour after recognizing noises coming from the sitting room, and I dashed over to see what was going on, thinking it was my Grandma and her friends, but to my surprise, I saw my cousins. I was taken aback because they are set of cousins that only come over here when there is something to commemorates, and they are almost always upstairs, and out of the four of them, only one is really familiar to me because he is a boy and we talk almost everyday since it was easier for us to understand each other better, whereas the others are girls and I find it hard to start conversation with them. To make a long tale short, I observed one of the females, Moradeke, using my measures notebook as a platter, and I observed there were already oil droplets on my notebook, and my drawings were messed up, and I was furious and I was about to tell her my mind because I had spent a lot of money and time just to get to where I'm in the notebook, I couldn't fight with her but I just packed everything and went to my room. We don't often converse like that, and she's a couple of years older than me, so I kept my rage in check, and after about two hours of considering what to do.... Surprisingly She came over and apologized, saying she didn't realize it was for me because she had come by the day before and no one was there, so she believed no one was around today and that was why she used the book thinking it was for my grandma.... Sincerely after she said that, the anger in me evaporated straight away. I explained to her how much time and money I have spent on those books and I actually expressed my feelings to her that I was really angry at that moment..... So she asked, so why didn't I express my anger?..... I told her If I had expressed my anger, will anything change?.... Or will my measurements notebook return to how it was in the first place?.... Or if I mistakingly pushed her and she used her head to hit the chair handle, won't that lead to more problems? finally I told **her....anger doesn't lead to anything good and it will only worsen the situation.** And for the first time, we had to communicate with each other, and we talked more about ourselves and got to know each other better, which is why I feel something occurs solely to bring people closer together.

What made you think you deserve my Respect I'm really a big fan of someone that treat others the same way they want to be treated and not just because it's a must but it just comes naturally because they've grown up with that character and they understand it's benefits of respecting others no matter the age difference. Here in my country especially among my tribe Yoruba, respect is one of our qualities and it's rare to see a Yoruba man or woman lack respect but I find to be wrong is that we tend to relate respect with age and that shouldn't be. everyone deserves to be respected no matter their age because whatever you reflect on a child now that's what he/she would do to the younger ones when he/she grows old. in Nigeria, it's very hard to find an elderly person accept that he/she is wrong to a child and they hate the fact that a child should be correcting them even though when they are wrong and if the child is correcting them respectfully, before you know they are already saying that the child lacks home training and this statement alone has put the child and his family in the same brackets that they all lack respect. my experience among elderly people here in Nigeria is that, they infuse fear in the younger ones and whenever they are around they are only feared and because of that the younger ones tend to do what they are asked to do and they will do it, not because they respect them but it's because of the fear and when they leave a lot of things will be said at their back and that's the main difference between being feared and respected. I experienced one drama at the bank recently, I was the next in line to use the automated teller machine, and as I was about to walk towards it, an older woman came forward and expressed her need to use the ATM. Looking at her, I realized she was way too old to be on the queue , and I didn't want to leave her in the queue, so I recommended her to go ahead. She passed by after using the ATM but couldn't say thank you to those in line, prompting another elderly man in line to inquire..... can't she open her mouth to say thank you? .....and she immediately began yelling and asking ridiculous questions, such as.....don't have any elderly people at home, do we? ...don't we have any regard for each other? ......didn't they do a good job of training us at home? ...... I was taken aback because this was the same woman who had just pleaded with her to use the ATM... She was actually wrong for what she did; she should have said thank you at the very least because almost everyone has somewhere to go, but that didn't stop them from assisting her; however, she didn't consider this, and simply because she is older than everyone, she concludes that saying thank you is completely insignificant. just think respect start from oneself, if she had respect for herself she should be able to Respect younger ones like us. maturity is not about age at all and sometimes we can use your level of respect to determine that, having respect will make you more approachable and obviously grant you more opportunities in life because you will always be an apprentice before you can be a master and an apprentice must always respect his master no matter what. whatever you do unto others that's what they will do to you, respect applies same way . Thanks for reading ❣️❣️❣️ Do unto others what you what you want them to do to you.

Power Outage We don't always appreciate what we have until we lose it, and I believe that losing it will make us comprehend it much more. This phrase encapsulates what is currently going on in the hostel where I am staying during my academic days. Before the school decided to go on an asuu strike, the power here was very stable, and we couldn't go a day without having light for at least 10 hours, and we tend to complain when they only took the light for a few hours but currently we pray and beg for them to give us power for just an hour. When there is no electric power, the generator is usually turned on around 8 p.m. until 1 a.m., but they had to limit it because we always have light, and we didn't complain because the light was stable and reliable at the time. The use of our mobile gadgets increased then and this really affected our sleeping routine but we try to get up early since we have to be in classes early. Since the ASUU ( Academic Staff Union of Universities) strike began, it appears that electric power has also fallen out, and owing to our country's economic situation, the price of everything has continued to rise, including the price of fuel and diesel, which has drastically changed everything in the dormitory. at first we thought it would end soon but it's over 2 months now and everything still remains the same. They now turn on the generator about 10 p.m. and turn it off at 12 a.m., which is extremely inconvenient, and the fact that we have no control over it is even more disheartening because the price of diesel has affected how they turn on the generator. We were initially fine with turning on the generator from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. since as soon as they turned it off, they would almost certainly bring the light back on within 10 minutes, and the PHCN ( Power Holding Company of Nigeria) would consider leaving the light on till the next morning. Recently, we haven't use electric power for more than 4 hours in a 24 hour period, and even when we do manage to use power during the day, it only lasts for five minutes, resulting in a decrease in the use of our electronic gadgets and some other devices that needs electric power to function. As a result, I was unable to complete my school assignment, which had been handed to us prior to the start of the Asuu break, and I attempted to visit a library near the school to finish up, but they were all closed because all of the students had gone home. We sleep in the dark most of the time, and the temperature is extremely high right now, not to mention mosquitoes, so we can't sleep early, and if we do, we'll have to wake up very late, and before we know it, the day is almost over and it's really frustrating and It's quite aggravating, and the hostel administration is doing nothing to help, which is one of the main reasons I'm leaving this week because I'm tired of the hostel entirely. This is just me attempting to escape the harsh reality of my hostel, but it will be over by Sunday. When my laptop is charged, I primarily pass the time by listening to music and watching videos on it, and occasionally I read novels. However, I am not a fan of novels, but due to a power outage, I imposed it on myself, and when everything isn't working, I just try to cruise inside school and occasionally catch up with my pals who live nearby. Thank you for reading 💚💚💚💚 Sorry for disturbing with what I'm facing...... ***Kindly check out my awesome sponsors***

Speech Leaving you Speechless life does not change just because you change the content of your life but it changes when you change the context. we are mockery creatures... you might be wondering how is that possible... imagine you wake up each day and there is the possibility that over millions of people didn't wake up to see the next day and I'm sure you're happy because you're alive and when you look at your loved ones surrounding you are also alive, I'm sure you will be happy. mathematically if over one million people lost their life that means over 10 million people loved someone close to them. so waking up early In the morning means that's the biggest thing happening in your life at that moment you wake. If we are conscious about our time here on earth and we acknowledge that we are all mortal and time is limited and we can pass away at any time without knowing the cause, you will assess your life most sensibly. we are healthy today and physically fit but that doesn't mean by tomorrow we will be alive at this moment.... I'm not praying for us to experience death but that's life for you. We all want to experience and explore this life in whatever way we think and we all have ways in which we want to do that and some thinks are love, some think it's money, some think through education they will experience life, some might think sex will do it, we all have our own perspective on how to explore this life. Whether you want to remain single, get married, explore women, go to church, go to clubs, drink alcoholic drinks, or whatsoever you see someone doing, I think that's just them trying to live their life profoundly. We are here for a brief time, have you ever wondered why is it when you're happy or joyous the day looks shorter than usual but when you're depressed or sad 24 hours looks like a week and that applies to our journey in life when you live a life filled with happiness and you are always happy no matter what, you tend to look the way you get than your age but if all our life is filled with misery and depression you tend to look older for your age. Love yourself and take care of those around you because you can only be healthy when every other person around you is healthy same applies to wealth. we all are trying to save the ecology now but if we had actually taken care of it in the first place we won't be saving anything now. if everyone in your country is doing well indirectly it is also good for your well-being because a lot of things will change which will lead to a decrease in anything criminal. Don't give false hopes and make deserted pledges figuring out you won't keep them. That is awry. Bear in mind, that you’ll be recognized for what you perform and not what you say you'll do.

My Firm Foundation AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: MONDAY, APRRIL 4TH 2022 Everyone has their foundation, the one they rely on and the one they run to whenever there's a crisis or difficulty. The only one that suits this position in Christ, the one that give himself away when we couldn't earn it and when we haven't done anything that makes us deserves it, the one that shows love for us when we regarded him as our enemy, the one that still directs us when we are struggling so we can know he still cares for us and his hands are wide open willing to accepts us back. The one that shows us amazing grace patiently, the one that doesn't consider our past when we ask for forgiveness, the one that knows what we have been through, the only one that knows what they are saying about you, and the one that knows what you're battling, the God of covenant, so what reasons do I need for him not to be my firm foundation?... When God is your foundation, you will undoubtedly experience significant serenity and joy in the midst of chaos because you will know that you are secure in his hands and will never be left alone to confront your war all alone. You will be eternally grateful that you chose Christ as your solid basis because he will never fail you. After all, you aren't the first person who has made him the cornerstone, integral part or centerpiece of their life, He has been the backbone and major components of the people that have Faith and trust in him since the beginning of time and he has kept his commitments for generations to another generations. Why would anyone who has remained faithful and loyal for generation to generation fail now? That's not realistically possible..... He has never lost a war before, and he'll never lose. Christ is the only solid foundation and whatever you might plan to build on it will forever remain still and won't be shaken due to any circumstances, our future, hopes, aspirations,interests and dreams are safe with him. Because he is a purposeful and clearly an intentional God, when you recognize him as your foundation, everything will begin to function in your favor.... So, why wouldn't you want to build your your whole life on the foundation of someone who has conquered and subjugated death?...Why wouldn't you want someone who is unrivaled as a solid foundation? ... The devil falls to the ground at the mere mention of his name, yet you're still questioning how totally secure you are with Christ., I'm here to tell you that you're 100% safe. He is a man of his word; if you confide in him and accept him, all scenarios are possible, and the past is forgotten. Everything he starts with you, he will always finish it, he will never leave anything concerning you incomplete if you made him your foundation Happy Sunday 😊😊 Thank you for reading ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Starting Each Day With The Best Mentality life possesses numerous challenges for every one of us, whatever challenges I face might be different from yours, life can be brutal, and life can be unforgiving. if I could make use of a word to distinguish between the great and the average, the difference between the successful ones and the struggling ones or the ones that have given up, the word is definitely Discipline. All champions, the great players, the ones with unrivaled longevity, the ones who have never managed to produce even when it appears impossible, have discipline. Having that discipline to work hard not when everyone is watching but when no one is watching. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, they are what they are today because they are both disciplined and you see them excelling from their younger age till now..... Have you ever wonder how much longer they implement to practice on their own after practice session?... Both are still the greatest players in the world right now, but that hasn't refrained them from doing so; they are always the first to arrive at the training facility and the last to leave because they have that mentality that they can be better each year... We've probably heard of stories about young aspiring football players rising through the ranks, and many analysts predicted they'd one day surpass the greats, but their careers were cut short due to a lack of discipline. I have heard several stories of footballers not eating junks food and that's how it should be for professional footballers but some still take alcohol, eat anyhow just because they lack that discipline of eating healthy food. The discipline to continue attempting when it aggravates and appears insurmountable since life will never give us everything we want but what we deserve; if you don't work, devote your time, or give it your all towards everything you desire, you won't receive it because you don't respect it. when you haven't see the result you needed, hang in there be strong because sooner or later your time will come. There's this popular quote that **“ YOU CAN NEVER RUN FASTER THAN OUR SHADOW".** No matter what you facing someone out there have experienced it before, just keep calm and work your way out if it. Nothing is hard to navigate, even if it is minor, but if you are disciplined, it becomes much simpler for you, and if you devote your time to it, it is easily accomplished. ***When you discipline yourself, you will always feel fulfilled regardless of what happens, and you will always end up creating an atmosphere that is conducive to your progress and will undoubtedly help you on your road to attain your objectives.*** Thanks for reading 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Everything Has Its Beginning And Its Ending **Just Like The Earth** in the beginning it was without shape and was completely void and filled with darkness and there were no living species down here. The earth begins to evolve when God started creating everything from the first day of creating lights to the seventh day which he later rested from his work after he discovered everything was good and since then the earth has been evolving and great things have been happening and new discoveries by human beings....... as time goes on the earth is getting altered and for this reason, our ecosystem is in danger due to how we misuse the nature. Most people actually believe the planet will end as a result of the sun exploding or an oxygen deprivation; nevertheless, everyone has their own beliefs, so let's reserve judgment and see who is correct and who is wrong till the day the world ends. **Just Like We Human Beings,** it all begins from one stage to another and everything takes time from fertilization to fetus to embryo these three stages may take up to 9 months it is usually regarded at the prenatal stage infancy stage: which is from the birth stage to the age of 2 Early Childhood: which is from 3 years to 5 years middle and late childhood which is from 6 years to 12 years adolescence: which is from 13 years to 18 years early adulthood is from 19 years to 20 years middle adulthood from 30 to 60 years Late adulthood 61 and above Finally is death and that's the ending of human life here on earth. Not everyone will have the opportunities to explore all of the different phases of life span development , but one thing is certain; the prenatal stage and the dying stage which are the beginning and the end, respectively will be experienced by all. **Career-wise,** concerning this, I'll emphasize on professional soccer because we've all encountered a story of how of football players who began their careers at a young age with the goal of becoming professional football players at some point. during their journey they will definitely face some challenges and some might end up not becoming a professional footballer, while some will become a professional footballer but end up struggling and might eventually lead to cutting off their career short, while some will become a professional footballer and also becoming successful and achieving a lot and breaking some football records and go on to become a legend of the game...... A footballing career begins when you start realizing in yourself and work hard to achieve your goals towards becoming a professional football and also investing your time in practice, and it ends when you hang up your boots which might happen due to any reasons. ***Everything has its beginning likewise its ending.*** ***The Bible start from genesis and ends at revelation.*** ***There is time for war and there is time for peace.*** ***There will be time we will be sick and there will be time we will be healthy.*** ***There is time to earn and there is time to spend.*** **Everything is temporary and one point in time it will all be gone.** Thanks for reading 📜📜📜📜🧡🧡🧡🧡

Taking control of your attitude and staying positive at the same time We shape or create our own life path and this is as a result of our attitude, if we take the attitude that we can't do something as time goes one we will discover that we can't do it same with a person that has bad attitudes towards learning won't get to learn or understand anything he/she partakes in unless the attitude changes. in conclusion what we fail to accomplish or achieve in life is due to our overall attitude. The best possible way to alter our life is by paying attention to our attitude because we have the ability to control it. We are so familiar with ourselves to the extent that we take ourselves for granted and for that reason we limit ourselves to an extent which we could actually supercede and overcome and for that reason we unintentionally create fear in ourselves in such a way that when we are about to achieve our goals it start to looks more harder than ever before and we tend to give up when we are closer than eve to our goals. our attitude is a reflection of our will and it's very powerful in such a way that it can bring our marvelous results for us and can also lead to our downfall at the same time. Wherever you find a person doing great in any area of work or place, he/she is definitely moving with the right attitude. these sets of people take the right attitude towards themselves they set a standard that whatever they plan on achieving, they will definitely achieve it and they make sure they back it up with their hard work as well as investing time in such goals they want to achieve and for such reasons you see them achieving remarkable goals. actually ,they are not brilliant or more intelligent than the people they are surrounded with but they did develop the right attitude and also found their accomplishments not too difficult. If you want something that will really change your life for good.... take the attitude that... there are more reasons you can have and achieve this than not having to earn it and you will notice it will be more easier when you approach your goals this way. changing our attitude won't affect the world likewise people around us nearly as much as the way it's meant to change and develop us for greater things. it's is nearly impossible to estimate the number of opportunities missed , number of jobs lost, number of scholarships missed, several marriages ruined because of bad attitudes. The moment you realize you can achieve anything and have the right attitude towards it, it becomes very possible and easy to achieve anything. the easiest and most effective way of developing the right attitude habit is to begin to act in such a way that you're expecting positive things to happen. The idea we should should all develop with ourselves is to **“expect more good out of life than bad and expect to succeed more than you fail"** and hopefully things changes for good.

Gratitude Affirmations Gratitude should be part of us and it should be part of our expression in our everyday life. Gratitude works a lot and helps a lot at the same time which means Nature loves gratitude in such a way that, the more grateful you're for the good things in your life, the more good things will keep happening in your life and for that, you will experience overflowing blessings. It's same with someone giving you a birthday present and you kept grumbling about it, saying things like "I detest this color," "it doesn't fit my charisma," and the more you disregard that presents, the more primary reason you offer that person not to consider giving you gifts at your next birthday event, because you didn't show gratitude, on the other hand, if you had said, "I adore the gift, it was amazing," and you kept saying nice things, the person would be happy to get you gifts even if it wasn't your birthday. Regardless of how modest the gift, make an effort to express gratitude. ***And same applies with nature, it will give you more when you appreciate what you have*** I get into a conversation with people and all they want is money and if they don't have that, they don't have anything to be grateful for and this makes us wonder because there are more things to be grateful for than we can't even imagine until you settle down and start looking at your life Be grateful for the everlasting grace you're enjoying. Be thankful for mercy even when we don't deserve it. Grateful for wisdom that you don't deserve. Be thankful for the love you receive that you don't exhibit to others. Be grateful for your parents, the most important people after God. Be thankful for understanding when you don't understand what's going on. Be grateful for the peace you enjoy in your life even though you don't seem to value it. Be grateful for things happening in your life and things that are about to happen. Be grateful for where you are now and where you are going. Be grateful for your friends, it's never easy to have the ones that care and support and also challenge you to be better. Be appreciative of the kind of progress you make because gradually it will make you develop into a better person. Be grateful for you're in control of your life. Be grateful for you're still alive because when there is life there is ambition and hope and you're open to more opportunities as time goes on. Be pleased that you're not in prison because I don't think you will enjoy that predicament. Sometimes you have to be grateful for the hard times because those situations are what made us who we are today. Our eyes are underrated because they are the one that makes us witness the miracles and joy happening around us, be grateful for that. Be grateful for the people in your life, those you love, and those you learn from. Be grateful for the food you have on your table. Be grateful for the mental strength that keeps you on your feet during adversity. Be grateful for your hearing because many are not so blessed. Be grateful for your legs because many are not so blessed. Be pleased with your health because many are in worse conditions. There are innumerable reasons for you to be grateful only if you don't want to and being grateful leads to unlocking more to your life because life is more than just our physical body.

Signs That Indicate You Might Be Winning On The Journey Of Life Life is a hybrid of positive and negative events, winning or losing depends on how you have planned your life, the risks you've taken, the time you've invested in yourself, the skills you've acquired, the idea you want to achieve, and what you plan for the future. Kindly check out my awesome sponsors There are ways to which you can indicate the signs that you're winning in life and they are; **1. Delighted To Experience A New Day** We all have some days whereby we don't want to partake in any working activities due to some reason and sometimes it might be due to a lack of will, energy, or just laziness. as long as we love such days we should endeavor not to get wielded to it, always be excited and happy to experience a new day of productivity, and focus on our goals and aspirations when this is done more frequently, it acts as a sign that you're on the verge of starting to win in the journey of life....... with time this will create a positive aspect in our life and you will value every second of a new day because a second can change the entire career of a person for good, endeavor to make every second count and never waste a whole day without achieving anything. **2. Accepting Yourself For Who You Are** You know yourself more than anyone else could ever try, you know what makes you happy, what makes you sad, what can trigger your anger, you know your strengths and weaknesses more than everyone else. having to accept and understand yourself makes you set a feasible goal and at the same time attain those goals..... Having a clear vision of what you want is what defines your success and not your imagination and this makes you work hard to become whatever you want. Before you can accept who you are, you must know that you can't compare yourself with other people because everyone moves at a different pace and if you have accepted yourself for who you are, congratulations you're winning already. **3. Not Trying To Be Perfect** There is nothing wrong with being perfect but is just not possible when you have a winning mentality you focus on progress rather than being perfect. social media has deceived us that work-life can be perfect, that friends are perfect, that this life can be perfect, meanwhile everything is just a misconception because no one can obtain that. The only thing close to perfect is progress if you keep making progress you get to develop and encounter growth with time but still can't be perfect....... The more you make progress the more you're closer to achieving your dreams and that's when life becomes easier but still not perfect. **4. Ready To Learn New Skills And Acquire** **More Knowledge** Different skills are discovered every minute, learning new things should be a part of our life because we will never know when those skill sets will be needed and that might just be what we need to acquire success..... having more than enough skills put us above our competitors and it gives us more advantage over the next person, so endeavor to learn new things and acquire some skills. **5. Having An Understanding Of Gratitude** Some are where they are now because of the gratitude they've expressed towards what people have done in their life and for that reason they want to do more. people tend to neglect the positive things happening in their life and they complain about the negative ones, for this reason, they don't show gratitude and this leads to us losing more opportunities than we can ever imagine.. we all need to show gratitude to all we have in this life, the people you have, the luxury you also have because when we lose one if this that's when you will know you've lost something big........ no matter how your day went always show gratitude because you being healthy and alive is enough reason to show gratitude. **6. Positive Feeling About The Future** Whenever you think about life in 10 years or 5 years down the lane you don't have fear of being a failure instead you have the confidence in yourself that you would have accomplished your dreams or you're on the verge of conquering your dream and also when you think about it there is this excitement you have. ***Life is filled with choices, interests, positivity, and negativity, you know what you want and the challenge is how you can achieve it...... Everything you need is all around you and I regard them as the elements and it's up to you to pick the elements you need to form the compound (success) which you wish for.*** Another week, Another opportunity Thanks for reading 📜🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

It's okay To “Not Be Okay" We all have this ideal of becoming perfect in life, yet this ideal existence does not exist entirely because everyone will experience grief, despair, discomfort, and anguish at some point. We see a perfect existence as one in which we are not evaluated by others, there is no backstabbing, and we effortlessly achieve our goals. What happens when we are not okay?....what happens when the notion of a perfect life is shattered?... What transpires when we are at our downward moment filled with negative emotional impressions?.... **I know people will convey answers and opinions that they would pretend as if everything is alright even when someone tries to help us out..........**When we bluff that everything is alright meanwhile we are going through a lot, that's when we will neglect to acknowledge to find solutions to our dilemmas. This idea of trying to convince people emerges because we don't want to damage the image of the beautiful existence we've created in our minds, and as a result of our anxiety, we fail to affirm what is needed to be done. The perfect life people portray or imitate on social media doesn't exist at all, everyone pretends to have a perfect or ideal life and due to this motive people tend to live in the orientation of life which they are not meant to be just because they believe the lies of perfect life existing**..........**I'm sure most of us have gone through some stages in life whereby we were going through a lot of difficulties and obstacles but we never for once tried to let people ( families and friends) around us perceive it just because of the fear of being judged or sense of you consumed in fear and for that reasons we tend to fake our smiles and the same time be friendly just to avoid unnecessary dramas. Here comes the reality of how **“IT IS OKAY, NOT TO BE OKAY "....** The harsh reality of life is that we all have responsibility including our financial life, social life, marital life, emotional life, physical life, spiritual life, and all these are just for one person to handle and the problem is that we have our limitations, breaking point, and saturation point and for us to handle all these we all need supports but they can't be fully provided unless we revolt our way through all these responsibilities. When things aren't going as planned, there are a few statements you can make to yourself that have worked wonders for me and that I've continued to use as long as I've been alive: It's okay to feel burned out It's okay to cry when everything looks terrible It's okay to feel insecure It's okay to feel bad after you failed the first time because another opportunity will surely come. It's okay to be annoyed with yourself It's okay to lose control of yourself at some point in this life. It's okay to step back sometimes and have to take better reason on what you are attempting It's okay to lose sometimes because what you might be working towards to achieve is not meant for you. It's okay to lose friends in this journey called life because they might not be your real friends in the first place. Everything is temporary and if we miss, lose, forfeit anything it's okay. It's mutual to feel this way and sometimes you feel guilty for things you have no influence over. Sometimes I use all these okay declarations and nothing still changes but I make sure I never suppress my emotions for society and when you always open up whenever someone asks whether you're okay or not, there is a big possibility of you developing good and genuine relationship from such conversation but not in all cases because some might use it against us and that's another shortcoming of opening up to someone. When things aren't going well, it's an indication that we're heading in the wrong course, which is why it's critical to take a step back and evaluate what you've been doing. When things are bad, turn to your friends and family for support, and if the problem seems insurmountable, remember that our creator, the Almighty God, is always nearby, willing to listen, and no problem is too large for him to handle. Open up to him, and you will notice changes with time. Thanks for reading 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Ways To Be A Better Friend Making friends has never been easier; with the existence of social media, you can hang out with people who live thousands of miles away while sitting on your living room couch. It's a relatively easy for both introverts and extroverts because the interaction doesn't have to start physically. Maintaining such friendships has never been convenient, although you may not have the opportunity to meet them in person owing to distance or other factors. There are many ways to be a better friend and have personal connections. I'll provide a list of some of them, but it won't be exhaustive because as the world evolves, so do the ways to be a better friend. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` There are different ways of becoming friends and I would love to share some which are; **1. Learn To Listen** We all love attention and self centered when it comes to friendship the act of listening is very important as ever because every one of us wants to be heard and understood at the same time and sometimes we need a response whenever we converse because this is the only way we can know you are actually listening. **2. Patience** I think we need this for every friendship because there will be a time whereby there would be an argument and your friend might be annoyed and he will definitely tell you some things out of anger and for the friendship not to collapse you need the patience to handle such situation. I would regard patience as an important behavior, we should endeavor to show this when our friends are under stress or eager to tell us something, have patience when listening and responding to them. **3. Don't Be Quick To Judge** Whatever friendship you are in, some way or somehow people around you will judge and that's how life is. But personally leaving the world to judge is never your concern, focus on your friendship and do whatever you guys want. You will go through good and bad times together but never make what people think to change your friendship. **4. let Them Be Free Towards Others** Never restrict your friends from having only you as a friend, this is very unhealthy and will only lead to the other person being bored and having no gist to debate about since they had disbursed all their time with you and eventually the friendship might not last for too long. This world is socially developed and letting your friends to interact with other people will indirectly help you and indirectly they also become your friends too. **5. Honesty And Loyalty** Honesty matters a lot in any friendship sometimes the truth might be really harsh but always endeavor to say the truth and when no one supports or believe in your friends always be there to show support and have trust in him because you should know what your friend can do and can't do, that's the main reason you are friends. **6. Challenging Each Other** Always be open-minded and challenge each other to develop in a positive direction in all ramifications like mentally, physically and professionally, and endeavor to support each other in times of need. Challenging each other is good for the relationship but we shouldn't let that ruin the friendship at the same time. Having a friend that challenges us and at the same time having fun while doing so is really amazing and definitely would make us a better person. ***Friends are wonderful and amazing at the same time. They help us become better versions of ourselves. When establishing friends, prioritize wisely and be transparent, since why would you want to be friends if you can't tell them what you need or what you're going through?....*** Thanks for reading 💙💙💙 ***Love and appreciate your friendly relationship and don't forget to go on adventures and do new and exciting things together since memories will last long after they are gone***.

Luxuries That Are Taken For Granted Date: Thursday, March 24th, 2022 Taking things for granted has become our personality, mainly because we want to be prosperous, happy, wealthy and obviously want to achieve everything we planned for and because of this we ignore the most important things in our lives and take them for granted. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` I would love to discuss on different luxuries we take for granted as life goes on and it endeavors us to cherish those luxuries as long as they are available for the time being, they are; **1. Family And Friends** Whatever we get ourselves indulged in will affect the time being with our friends and family, no matter how but the little time we should have spent with them, we still decide to compromise them for work related stuff which could eventually turn out badly later. But the truth remains that work will always be there no matter the ones you've attended to but the time which you should have spent with your family and friends but you decided to compromise for work will never return. Time is limited, try and spend the little time you've planned with them and also make sure some wonderful memories are created because when you're gone, it's those memories that will still be with them. **2. Our Health** Good health is very underrated, we don't value it until we lack it and you tend to live a life that might grant you the health you wish for. The way we consume junk food nowadays and consume sugar makes it hard to live that healthy lifestyle we crave for. The night party and works we have to engage in thinking it will make us happier not knowing we're depriving ourselves of one of the most important things which are sleep and rest. What about the likes of being addicted to digital mobile and social media that keeps us to our screen for several hours, all these give rise to bad health. The most offensive to our health is our choice of food consumption. Prioritizing our health and making the right decisions concerning our health, good health should never be taken for granted. **3. Time** Time is everything, whatever we do requires time and sometimes we unconsciously spend our time participating in unnecessary activities, value your time the same way you value your health. Whatever you're avoiding doing or completing will still be there until you create time for it because no one will do it for you. If you don't value your time, no one will value you. Spend your time wisely and make good choices and also use your time to develop and grow each day. Time is wealth, time is money, time is everything, we are time because our lives are based on time. So we should make sure our time doesn't lose value. **4. Nature** We all live on this Earth and there is only only one planet that supports human life at this moment though there have been some discoveries that some planets can support human life but for now, let's take care of our earth. Depletion of nature is moving at an uncontrollable pace which is really bad. Nature is the most beautiful resource and it has beautiful and unimaginable wonders the likes of mountains, blue sky, seas, rainbow, sunshine, trees, the animals and so on..... We shouldn't take the conservation of nature for granted and we should all take care of them because we all affect the nature at one point or the other. Our future generations need to clear beaches, seas, and mountains we do wish to see while we were younger. **5. Our Choices** Having our thoughts and choices is a good privilege we enjoy at this moment in our era. We are so lucky to have been in this era because we are presented with a lot of choices and opinions at our disposal. Having that freedom to choices shouldn't be taken to for granted but we should use it to affect our lives for good and make the most of it. **There are more luxurious things we take for granted and sometimes we are not aware of it until it start causing us a lot of damages or trauma, but these are all the luxuries I can offer with this article that we take for granted.** Thanks for reading 💙💙💙💙

Bearing The Unimaginable When we face adversity, difficult times, and dark times, it appears that they have all incarcerated us in a place we can't comprehend or envision, and they will begin to break us, and we will be damaged beyond repair sooner or later, it doesn't just happen for a moment and stop but will continuously hunting us, and the pressure behind everything begin to pile up. Sometimes it looks as if everything is alright and all of a sudden you remember the crushing reality and each day it changes your mood from good to worse. all these crushing reality might be due to financial issues, health issues, relationship problems or family issues, whatever it might be it keeps under a wholesome pressure that's unbearable. During this though times, life becomes more tasteless, rigid and tougher than expected as we struggle with issues that are unbearable. people are experiencing the worst stretch of their life currently and sometimes you don't seem to know unless you're been told and each day they put on a smiling face not because they are pretending but because they have this belief that everything is temporary and one day it will pass away and what they are facing now is minor towards God. Watching a documentary about how humans deal with adversity Navigating through life's grief, absolutely enormous struggles, and attempting to endure the inconceivable made me realize that life isn't fair enough, but at the final moment of every documentary, everything that appears unimaginable and unbearable is always dominated, and you see those people who struggled at one point in their lives become great leaders. Bearing the unimaginable is just relatively connected to not giving up even when those problems keeps rising and piling up and I have a friend that also had gone through a side of life which I wouldn't wish to happen to anyone. I used to have a very close friend, and we were so close that I had no indication she had been through so much. Every day she would smile and visualize me being her friend, and I had no idea what she was going through, so how would an impartial observer know? She was usually cheerful, uplifting, and eager to interact. She finally opened up to me when we were watching movies, and she asked why I don't live with my parents?...., which I answered her, and after I gave her my explanation... I asked her the same question, and her response made me wonder why I asked her because I couldn't imagine that such a thing could have happened in her life..... She witnessed when her father murdered her mother when she was a child, but she was aware of what was happening and as a result, she had to live with her grandparents since then, and her father was imprisoned, and I eventually realised she has been through a truly awful side of life, and she wasn't afraid to go deeper while clarifying what could have induced her father to do so. what I loved about her is that, she never for once made that situation changes her life and she is still who she's today and she was able to bear the unimaginable till now and that's a great personality he possesses. life is a struggle and if we are not careful it might keep us from doing what we love to do even the normal ones and never allow just a bad moment define your life because there's more to this life than just being detained by our problems Thanks for reading 💟💟

One Of A Kind In football, there are various abilities, talents, ambitious, hardworking and dedicated players, and some are always dependable, while others change significantly; they tend to perform well today and then appear as a divergent player on the pitch the next match. Actually for some reason I don't understand how this happens but at a point everyone always have a horrible match even the best of them all, the likes of cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, maradona, Pelé, zidane and so many more. There are football players who should be featured when presenting a list of the best football players, but when I ask my friends to name world class football players, this specific player is always left off the list. His name is **ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC**, and he is extremely underrated, which I despise a lot. For the first time, he has never been glamorized as a highly touted prospect, but this guy Zlatan Ibrahimovic is influencing a golden age of football in the same way that Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, and more recently Kylian Mbappe and Haaland have done, but we all forget that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's dynasty spans more than one era. Not just a generational talent, but a revolutionary personality, capable of feats that no other player his height can or would ever consider, and I often wonder what kind of attitude or mindset he embodies. Though he may be arrogant, pompous and make statements he shouldn't, this is one of the characteristics and traits that distinguishes him in the footballing world. There are a lot of aspects about him that make him distinct and special, such as how many footballers can claim they've scored in four different decades scored in seven different countries and still playing football up to 49 years of age played for more than 8 football clubs and have scored for each one of them Oldest player currently playing for one if the biggest football team in Europe He has his own special abilities with a height above 6ft, he still has the speed, the strength, the agresiveness needed for the game, the hunger for the game, the finesse, the magical touch, the balance, the delicacy of a dove, the calmness when he is about to score and also great scorer of great goals, the shot power, wonderful creator on the football pitch, fantastic dribbler of the ball infact an elite dribbler, infact he makes football easier for himself till now. He has played for different football clubs from malmo to Ajax to Juventus where he was regarded as a great artist of football and people fell in love with him during his time at Juventus, his transfer to Barcelona was his move of his dream, though he was fantastic over there but soon it turns into a nightmare. At Manchester united he won us our last trophy over 5 years ago but it was cut short by an Acl (anterior cruciate ligament ) injury but at the age of 36 everyone thought he won't come back from such injury and his glittering career was about to come to an end but anytime everyone gives up on him, he shows why he his zlatan Ibrahimovic and he finally came beck from the injury and he continues dominating even at his old age. He has done so many fantastic things along his career, dominating Seria A in Italy with all the 3 biggest football club including inter Milan, ac Milan and Juventus. at Paris saint German in France, he raised PSG up to be a competitor among the biggest football club in Europe and also becoming their first superstar in the new era of psg and he also went to America to dominate and of course winning a trophy and he regarded himself as God amongst men, of course that's zlatan Ibrahimovic. Now, he is 40 years old now back at Ac Milan in Italy on the verge of winning their league trophy which is also known as the **“SCUDETTO"**, the last time they won it was about 11 years ago and coincidentally he was the one that won it for them, he his truly immortal indeed, 33 trophies, 564 goals, 222 assists in the span of 21 years of playing football and I'm sure these numbers will surely increase. **ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC** is a one of a kind football player who is despised by some, appreciated by others, worshiped by others, considered the best of all time by some and a mentor to certain young footballers, but he will never be forgotten when it comes to the world of football.

Who Am I really? Obviously, you are already familiar with my name, which is freedom, and my complete name is omojuwa freedom Joseph. I won't pretend that everything in my life is perfect, but I'm proud of who I am right now, and I know that sooner or later, I'll have all I want and need. I have really been through a lot and most times I keep it to myself and only those close to me have idea of what is going on in my life, I have experienced heartbreaks, failure, winning and some fantastic moment and I have also made some fantastic friends on the journey called life, some of the friendship were short, some are long and some still exist but the Iconic part is that I enjoyed every moment. You can't avoid this aspect of life where you'll be broke one day and rich the next, where you'll win and lose because every joyful person will have a sad day and every decent person will have an ugly day, I assure you this because this is what life is about, but every condition you find yourself make sure you are able to bring the best out of yourself. I'm fully aware that I can't change anything and I can't do anything about this aspect of life. So when everything is good I enjoy every single part of it in a way I regard as fun because bad days are still coming and when the bad days arrive, I will still enjoy it because I know the good days are coming because everything is temporary. I'm one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet, but I'm more of a listener than a speaker, and once I'm familiar with you, you'll see a different perspective of me 😂😂, which can be difficult at times, but you'll undoubtedly like those moments. I'm an emotional guy though but I think I have conquered that aspect of my life for now and I don't want to invest my time into emotion because if it goes south, I will suffer it most because of the kind of person I'm and I know I'm that kind of person that really get attached and my life is like a package with fragile label 👀and the truth is that Death is coming sooner or later, Just love genuinely and keep good memories with people cos that’s the only thing that’ll live forever. I'm very aware of my surroundings, and it's easy for me to tell when a buddy is unhappy or pleased since I've studied their behaviour and attitude simply by conversing with them and hanging with them. I might be the calmest among my friends but you won't want to see the angry side but the fact is that I have never been involved in a fight but I don't think I will ever back down if you try to hurt me. I'm not in that category of guys who goes to parties or anywhere people have to dance, so finding me there is extremely uncommon. I do, however, enjoy going to church and worshiping and praising God, as well as dancing to show gratitude for everything he has done, is doing, and will do. Aside than that, I doubt you'll ever see me dance outside of my room 😂. I'm never in a hurry because I understand that everything requires a step by step approach, and that patience is essential for success. I take things slowly because I understand that success is not easy to achieve. I have weaknesses and insecurities, but I'm not going to let them hold me back. This is a part of me I just expressed Thanks for reading 💙💙

What is something common that has never happened to you AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: FRIDAY MARCH 18TH 2022 For me basically, there are many things that are particularly prevalent but that I haven't personally encountered before, and perhaps I wish that many of these things had happened in my life because they might have led me to be a better person or individual, but regardless, God knows what he aspires for me and what should be happening in my life. There goes the list..... **1. Being Robbed** Though there is higher rate at which people gets robbed in my country and I have been told different story, even from my close friends and families and most especially from the media and the most unique part is that I live in an area where there is higher chances of someone getting robbed. But with all these I haven't experienced robbery and I'm not either praying to experience such incident because some might lead to someone else getting killed or injured. Though the most important thing is to get home before it's too late at night and never leave your house too early, at least this will reduce your chances of getting robbed while walking or driving. 2. Never Experienced Food Poisoning This might not be rare because most people I know haven't experienced it before, though it's common in some areas whereby they cook in a dirty environment and which leads to food being poisoned. **3. Nose Bleeding** If you're into sporting activities whereby you have to be involved physically, the rate at which you will experience nose bleeding is high but luckily for me I haven't experienced bleeding from my nose. Though, I started playing football at an early age and I have been injured several times and have experienced some serious pain but luckily I haven't experienced bleeding from my nose. **4. Going To Night Club** Yeah, this might looks really weird but I can wholly say that I have never been to a night club. Though, I have friends that do enjoy going over there most times and it looks as if, if they don't visit at least once a week it looks as if their week is not complete. I once attempted to go with a close friend of mine but I hate crowd and noice which was the main reason I withdrew myself from such attending that day. **5. Getting Arrested** I don't think I would be able to do anything that will get me arrested or out into custody my the police, I make sure everything I do is legal and you can't find me in places where illegal activities are carried out and most times I avoid fighting with people because that could be the easiest way of me getting arrested. These are the list of things I haven't experienced and I don't pray i experience all these situations though 😂😂. Thanks for reading 💙

The special one AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: THURSDAY MARCH 17TH 2022 We had the opportunity three days ago to commemorate the tenth anniversary of my grandfather's death, which actually happened in his room when he was attempting to wake up, and then at the same time he was suffering a long-term illness. I could remember that day vividly and how I heard a loud bang in his room while we were in the sitting room watching movies with my family members and we all rushed into his room and we saw him lying on the floor and I was shocked because that was the first time I'm witnessing a death of someone very close to me and I couldn't cry at the same time because I couldn't wrap my head around what was happening but people were crying and shouting and our dogs were barking but I still Didn't believe everything happening. The next day, the street was deserted and there was no mobility because the street and one nearby were named after our family, so everyone had to follow the rules, and those who needed to go to work couldn't drive because the entryway gate was secured. I was still pondering and asking myself, "Is he truly gone for good?" in my room. ..... I began to recall the times we spent together and everything dad taught me.. Those were the days when we had to get up earlier than usual for early morning devotions, and he made sure that everyone was fully conscious. He also made me recite our indigenous hymns, and everyone would repeat after me because that's how it's done. He was the one who encouraged me to attempt football on my very first day, telling me that I would enjoy it. I recall weekends when, after morning religious activities, we both went to our family church with my cousins to worship and praise God after we had spiritual practices at home. I recall those days when my cousins and I were attempting to play and we tried to imitate how we practiced our devotions at home, with me pretending to be grand pa. I was incredibly upset when I found out he had finally left us, but I couldn't completely stop my tears when I sung a song he taught me and makes me read during morning devotions, and that's when I truly sobbed because I realized I wouldn't see him again, and that really made me feel awful. Though I was much younger at the time, his impact on my life was profound, and I owe him a great debt of gratitude since he was one of a kind. I still wish he was alive, and I hope to see him again in paradise one day. He passed away, but his effectiveness on our lives continues to this day, and he truly transformed the lives of many people, which is why the gathering for his memorial was so impressive. ..... RIP GRAND PA 🕊️.....

Celebrating our Achievements AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: WEDNESDAY MARCH 16TH 2022 At any moment in time, accomplishment or achievements should be appreciated. It's merely a way of commending ourselves on overcoming all of the droughts and challenging experiences and achieving whatever goals you set out to attain. There is no specific day set aside for commemorating accomplishments; accomplishments can be commemorated at any time. Most of the time, we emphasize on our flaws rather than the things we've truly accomplished in life, which strikes me as odd since why would you think of your faults and aspects you've done wrong rather than the things you've worked to achieve after a lengthy process and passion and commitment?. No achievement is insignificant; whatever it is, it will inevitably lead to a bigger and superior achievement. But, despite all of this, we sometimes find it difficult not to think about the things we couldn't do or the things we wish we could have done better at, and we occasionally find ourselves comparing our accomplishments to those of others, wishing we had everything that they have. To me, what I just described in the previous paragraph is not and will never be a pleasurable way to live, because they are all misleading and will gradually make us feel down, dejected, and furious with ourselves, and always remember this.. where we are now is opportunity some people wish they had, while there are still people out there wishing they had what we just accomplished also, so never compare yourself to another person. What if we look at all we have done right, all the right decisions we've made in the past and things we can do that make us who we are now because everyone has a gift and talents and sometimes it's different what the other person has and working on those set of skills and gift will gradually evolve you into what you're and what you're achieving and what you will eventually achieve. So back to celebrating our achievements, if we were given the opportunity to decide a date whereby we would be able to celebrate every achievements in our lives from the moment we were born to this day, how will it look like?...... I know most of us would definitely throw a party and treat ourselves better because we actually deserve it. For us to achieve anything, we have to move out of our comfort zone and that's really massive and during this process we had sacrifice a lot of time for that achievement, our dedications too and sacrifice we made, so celebrating our achievements wouldn't be a bad idea The celebration might depend on how massive the achievement is and sometimes it might not necessarily be the party celebration but going to church or decide a quite time and place to praise and worship God for the success. **No achievement is too small for celebrating** Thanks for reading 💙

Our Thoughts What you imagine yourself to be is who you are, and whatever you imagine yourself to become is who you will become. Our ideas, like our tongue, travel to areas ahead of us, to locations where we will finally be later, and if you make the assumption it will turn out awful, that is exactly what it will come out to be, and if you perceive it will turn out good, that is exactly what it will turn out to be. Our thoughts are a part of our lives, and they serve as stepping stones to achieving what we truly desire. We can't just jump into any activity without thinking about it; if we honestly believe about it before we do something, we'll be able to assess if it will come out well or will significantly contribute to further problems. Every part of our lives and every decision we make is a product of our thinking; even when it comes to yes or no questionnaires, we must rationalize before attempting to answer. `Kindly check out our awesome sponsors` Before attempting to join this platform, I'm sure we've all considered whether it will help us in some manner, and I'm sure you've also considered how much time you'll have to connect with other users on the platform, as well as how much time you'll have to create articles.

Weirdest Thing Society Accepts As Normal AUTHOR; OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: SUNDAY 13TH MARCH 2022 `Kindly Check out my awesome sponsors` **1. Working All Through Our Lifetime** This have been accepted throughout our generations, we believe we have to work hard for a better life when we are old and we forget to spend quality time with our friends and family and even personal time with ourselves. when we finally reach that old stage we planned for, we then try to live the life that we should have experienced at a younger stage which is no longer possible because you don't have the required energy and inclinations to go after what you would love to do and you will lose an important part of your life. I never mean it's wrong to work hard, because no food for a lazy man what I'm trying to imply is that, as you work make sure you have fun and that basically mean participate in what you love doing and you won't regret wasting your time and effort in what doesn't add up value to your life **2. normalizing alcohol and talking negative about people doing drugs.** This is very common in the society and it's weird because consuming large amount of alcohol and doing drugs are both bad for the health and if you don't experience the effects you will encounter it later. same apply with caffeine because when you're addicted to any of these it becomes very hard to withdraw yourself from such situations because the more you consume, the more the poison accumulate in your body, I still find it weird that some drugs are banned in some country but it's hard to find a country that ban the consumption of alcohol. **3. parents having kids to relive their lives** it's common now that people just give birth to children just for them to forcefully direct those children in the path in which they themselves grew up and build the child to love whatever they love and hate whatever they themselves hate and they force a future on the child without letting him/ her decide on what he/she wants. literally it's okay to not put pressure on your child and make them decide on what he wants and you will see him flourishing when he his not forced to do what he doesn't love. life would be easier if parents applies this principle to their children and it's important to correct them whenever they are wrong because that's why we're the parents. **4. Rich People Basically Above The Law** I have witnessed some incidence where the punishment fir rich people is them being fined while the poor serves the punishment and that's really bad because whenever a rich person commits any crime, they pay a fine instead if them serving the punishment and this will make them stay above the law and have this mentality that when ever a crime is been committed all they have to do is to pay a fine but for the poor they have no option than to serve years in jail. **There are a lot on this list and I'm sure you guys know few of the things that are weird but we accept it in our recent society.... Kindly add yours in the comment section.** Thanks for reading 💙

Becoming indispensable AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: SATURDAY MARCH 12TH 2022 People misinterpret irreplaceable as being indispensable but they are never the same and the truth every single person can be replaced but being indispensable means you're so good and efficient at your job that your boss and coworkers or partners don't imagine losing or replacing you. Being indispensable means you're the go to person and the one that gets to see things done, you can become indispensable not because that's your aim or goal or that's what you classify as being a success but as a consequence of obeying God and honoring him with your work and the way you work. When you're indispensable at work you give yourself the platform to chart the course of your life and thereby becoming influential an directly granting you more opportunities that you would never think of because people will be willing to hear what you have to say and what they will also benefit because of your knowledge is overflowing. The personal benefits of being indispensable are enormous and it's not possible to mention all, but the little I know are: It can serve as a moral booster; you will start enjoying your activities knowing how valuable you're to the organization or community it makes you feel you're contributing more value than yourself. It create validation to what you do and what you're. Being indispensable will likely put you in a comfort zone because you won't have to worry as much as losing your job to anyone which is one less stress which you don't have to endure because you're always sort after every moment of your career. It's possible to be indispensable at any stage of your career and it's never to late to develop such character. So I will share few attributes and ideas that will help you on your way of becoming indispensable **Self awareness:** possessing this will help you in the long run, so often people play to their weakness and try to force themselves down that's not right for their particular skills and interest. Do an inventory of your talent and turn them into skills and discover your core values and make them your decisions making guide. **Developing complementary skills:** once you identify your strength, the next is developing skills that complements those strengths and in the long run it will help in extracting the values in them. **Hard work:** perhaps the most important steps and attributes that can make an individual indispensable is to outwork those around them.in the bible on how apostle Paul said he was successful in the book of **1 corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.** For you to be indispensable you have to do what is needed to be done and be willing to go the extra mile which means they give a little more than what is needed. There are still more attributes that are needed to become indispensable but for now this is all I can offer and hope your journey towards achieving the character of being indispensable becomes a success.

The Blaming Game AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: THURSDAY MARCH 10TH What do you do when you're confronted with a difficulty, a dilemma, or a set of unknown circumstances? ..... Do you choose to lay blame on someone? ...Do you choose to place responsibility on your coworkers? ...Do you choose to place the blame on your accomplice? Do you think you're to be blamed? Do you think it's because of the economic state? ..... Do you hold God responsible for some of your struggles? Sometimes in life we always seems to blame everyone for our problems but never for once blame ourselves, rather looking for someone to blame, the most empowering thing you can do in most cases is to take responsibility for your problems and take the right decisions and steps to resolve them gradually even if they can't be resolved at once. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` Blaming others never appears to be working because, if you keep blaming others for your faults, you will lose your prestige, stance, relevance, competence status and efficiency in comparison to others who recognize they are the source of their own failures and they thrive to find solution to it. sometimes you won't acknowledge that you have lost your influence around people, all of a sudden you will discover that people are no longer paying attention to you or gradually not making use of what you tell them to do. We must understand that "blaming is highly infectious," and that being exposed to people who constantly blame others for their personal shortcomings is enough to cause others to chastise others for wholly unrelated screw ups. This is most typical when a person is most inclined to blame someone lower in the prestigious position because they have been blamed by someone significantly greater in the hierarchy. Ethical decision making includes never criticising others for things you're accountable for, such as your feelings or lifestyle choices, and managing yourself not to become involved in conflicts that are beyond of your jurisdiction, such as other people's insecurities, acts, and unpleasant conduct. Why do we refuse to live up to this level of emotional stability? ...and why do we pass the buck to others? When is not even the ideal thing to do at that situation because you might be hurting someone else and we aren't aware of what he/she is going through and we just decide to pour out our blame on them ......... Blame and humiliation are frequently linked; for example in the bible the story of Adam and eve, when God faced Adam and Eve for their transgression, they chastised everyone but not themselves because they were humiliated. The blaming game is an ineffective technique of dealing with shame, disappointment, panic, incapability, difficulty, insufficiency, defeat and failure . Rather than condemning and shaming ourselves, we should confront the situation, realize our journey, and ask God what he wants us to do thereafter. When something goes horribly wrong and we feel intimidated, threatened, harassed, violated, offended, pressured, it's normal to try to defend ourselves against the consequences. We end up blaming others and sometimes we want to isolate ourselves from the difficulties. Neglecting to admit our faults or continuing to avoid them will only compound our problems in the long term. Transitioning responsibility will not get you to achieve the deadline and will never solve the problem that is causing the backlog. Blaming someone else for your mistakes won't help you either so it's better to face your mistakes and never be ashamed of it because if you avoid it now, you will encounter it all at some point in your life, **NEVER TRY PLAYING THE BLAMING GAME.** Thanks for reading 💙

How Do You See Yourself as a Glass of water? AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: WEDNESDAY 9TH MARCH 2022 Times are tough and many people are struggling to stay optimistic given the state of the economy, the insecurity of their jobs if they have one currently, the strain put together from the one at work and the one at home Incase they are in one relationship. The fact is optimism creates opportunities and pessimism kills it. Like one of the wisdom king Solomon wrote years ago in **proverb 15:15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast......** Expecting good things to happen with even little actions will produces positive results but attaching yourself to negativity will keep bringing you problems over and over again even when it's seems everything is fine. Optimism actually means the best outcome or belief in the greatest good, it's true while some people are naturally more optimistic than others, ultimately we all get to wake up everyday wether we are going to be a glass half full or a glass half empty person. People who have their glass half full have abundant asset and they have opened their mind to wherever they are going which is having a **vision**. People with abundance mindset believe that today pain, investment in time and money will eventually bring growth, blessings and success, they are more likely to see where they are going. People with abundance mindset approaches life and opportunities in a principled manner that will bring fortune. **Abundance thinkers believe that** There's enough in the world to go round to everyone though some might be opportune to have more They also believe the more you share in a principle way, the more you grow abundantly because givers never lack. They believe that giving their time, talent and their resources will come back abundantly in different ways and which will lead to them increasing abundantly. **Scarcity thinkers believe that** There's no enough of anything to go round and which might lead to them not having anything. They will lose their power and possession if they keep sharing their knowledge and investing also. The freedom and success enjoyed by abundant thinker becomes obvious when we compare them with that of scarcity thinkers. Thinking scarcitily reduces our effectiveness and there by leading us not to achieve our full potential. People that have scarcity mindset sees their glass as half empty and they never let go of what they have and when they do this, they don't seize or grab the opportunities they encounter and the abundant thinker believe that there's more to this life than just keep holding to what you have.

Attitude is everything AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: TUESDAY 8TH MARCH 2022 My uncle once shared his story about his life and he started this way He didn't like the way things seemed to be going some years ago, very early in his career, and at some point he decided to be methodical and seize control of his destiny by establishing a life plan, which he was recommended to do, and he subsequently came up with a 15-year schedule. He wasn't happy three years into the plan, but he was able to highlight the knowledge and skills he considered necessary to get closer to his aspirations and he was actively working on them. During the three years, he was also able to pinpoint habits he needed to break and new ones he needed to inculcate in order to succeed, but after all of this, it appears that something was still letting him down because he had everything he needed to achieve his goals, but they still appeared impossibly far away What makes you believe that? To cut a long story short, he established it was his attitude that was restricting his capabilities to see and exploit the opportunities, as well as preventing him from fostering new habits that would help him in the long run. Once he realized it was his attitude, he decided to change it, and everything improved over time. In today's work place, that attitude and not skill, is the top predictor of higher success or failure and it's common now that when company is hiring and everyone has the skills and for them to pick amongst them, they go for attitude. when hiring people with the right attitude, the employer would readily be able to reduce his new turnover rate, putting attitude first doesn't mean technical and skill doesn't matter. skill are still important prerequisite to new hired person to do his job well and cope with the demands of the job, however skill can be assessed through technical test and viewing candidate portfolio and if the candidate lack one or two sub skills, he/she can learn it after joining the company as long as he/she has the right attitude. A personal method was used by apostle Paul to his protegee Timothy, he encourages and gives him a solid charge in.... **2timothy 2vs 2; And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others**...... Apostle Paul cautioned Timothy not to be tempted to consider ability ahead of attitude. Attitude refers to the conscious state of feeling towards something or someone else, and words like feeling, temperament, viewpoints, sentiment, attitude to life, perspective, and frame of mind are sometimes used to describe it. Someone may have all of the qualifications for a job, but if their personality clashes with the company values, they are unlikely to be the ideal candidate for the job. Everyone has an attitude, and a person's behavior is the expression of that attitude. What does this mean for us as Christians at work? Why should our God-given abilities control what we are able to do, while our attitude controls what we do and how we do it? God's word offers not only manuals on how to adopt the correct attitude, but also prompts to give us the strength to do so. According to the Bible, we should always have Christ's attitude toward life and other people. Good attitude as defined by the scriptures are called fruit of the spirit and are listed in Galatians 5 vs 22-23. if we call ourselves christians and we don't exhibit such characteristics, we are not spiritual but merely religious. A genuine Christ follower should not just be hired but best hired in any company because of our attitude. Equip and feed your attitude and dwell on positive things, if you dwell on the negative your attitude will reflect the same. **Philippians 4:8; Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.** Finally remember this: **who you're becoming is more important than what you do** Thanks for reading 💙

Questioning Everything...2 AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: Monday 7th March 2022 The previous episode on QUESTIONING EVERYTHING.. I discussed about how asking questions will lead to development in our knowledge and we will eventually understand things in ways a normal person wouldn't and you can check it here https://read.cash/@Freedom007/questioning-everything-a51faa76 I concluded the article with **“I would love to ask series of questions but I would ask it in the next episode of questioning everything"** and this is the concluding part of the article where I would ask those series of questions and I hope you all have answers to it all. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors` I'd make a list of all the questionnaire, and I'd like you to consider whether they are your thoughts and beliefs. Is it necessary to interrogate them? ...or what will happen if you subsequently question it?.... These are the concerns. **1. You can't do that, it's irresponsible** **2. True happiness doesn't exist** **3. Happy ever after is for fairytale** **4. It's okay to not show up everyday** **5. I should be easy on myself** **6. Life isn't always perfect** **7. Marriage has its ups and downs** **8. You have to crawl before you can walk and you have to walk before you can run** **9. Life is filled with challenges** **10. Work smarter not harder** **11. All men do is lie** **12. True love is not possible** **13 Hard work pays off** **15. Mistakes are bad** Are these all true?.... Why do we think these are true?.. and Maybe it's true... Let me consider the **“ 15th which is mistakes are bad" is mistake actually bad?.**. what if they are good and what if we gladly accept mistakes because life is meant to be fun and mistakes makes it more fun and we work better to avoid mistakes happening again. If any of these questions grab your attention in one way or the other. I would encourage to give them more attention.. like why did you believe it or why don't you believe it and what if you believe the opposite of everything I listed even though it might be hard to consider. I think what we should consider is that, what thoughts serves us.... The truth is that whatever we believe in will be among those things that actually drive our life and eventually shape and mould who we will eventually grow up to be. Just like how young people think that money is life and they want to experience that wealth people are talking about, no matter what you see that this is what drives them to do what they can't do on a normal day. Example of how our thoughts can drive us, in the case of marriage... If we believe that marriage is meant to be perfect, how will that drive us and how will you treat your partner or spouse if you believe that marriage is meant to be perfect?.... This thought will determine how will we show up in our marriage life just to make it perfect and if we believe the opposite which is marriage is not meant to be perfect, you will notice how partners will behave whenever they make mistake and they will always give excuses that marriage is not meant to be perfect. Our thoughts affects our behavior as a whole. It's okay to take different stance on what we all believe in but trying to believe in something new might looks uncomfortable at first but repetition will make you believe it's true **CONCLUSION** I would love to ask some few questions once again..... Can you do hard things?....are you capable? ..... do you have a choice? what can you question?.. I think these questions are great because it will make you think. I'm not trying to make you paranoid or trying to shake up your entire world, I'm just trying to give you something that will make you think. If what you believe in now is working, wonderful; you don't need to change; however, if it isn't, you must examine it and change it because you are the only one who can do so, which can happen as you grow, keep evolving, and change. New ideas and a more positive personality come from new concepts. I would finish off this article with this quote: ***We are only as blind as we want to be that means if we want to see more or learn more it's very easy to do that, we are the only one that can stop us from what we want to achieve or learn.*** Thanks for reading 💙
