Self Discovery. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/half-of-face-of-gorgeous-black-woman-7124434/ We are all on a journey to self-discovery. No man seems to have attained everything in a single swoop because we live and learn as we grow and go through life. Life will happen, situations would threaten us but we must not forget who we are because we don't know who might be hurt by it. There are so many people whose well-being depends on our dreams. Some find themselves…
Consistency. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/female-student-suffering-from-headache-in-library-3808057/ This life requires diligence. You just have to keep at what you do which is why you need to do what you are passionate about not just anything to get by. If you stick things just to get by, you might lack the needed consistency that would spur you on to greatness. When you stay at what you are passionate about long enough, it is a matter of time before you see…
For who you are, for what you do and for to ever consistent help, thank you @Pantera. You make life easy for us and I am deeply grateful for your sponsorship, again. God bless your heart. It's a great start to the month already...
Parenting. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/family-of-four-walking-at-the-street-2253879/ I have read a lot of posts regarding parenting and I have read quite a lot of views on it too and I would like to speak on this as well. Most people need to understand that parenting goes beyond the ability to just have a baby. There are so many things involved that if care is not taken, we would be causing more dangers for our world. My friend, @George_Dee said something and…
Manage Your Emotions. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/collage-photo-of-woman-3812743/ This is an aspect of life where most people have failed and you cannot blame them. Most people struggle to keep their emotions in check and want to say everything that comes to their head due to years of accumulated silence of oppression, however, it is. Most people have been dragged, taken for granted and you see someone in one corner dragging the fire by whispering into your…
@andrianlover - Your heart is kind, so are you. I don't take anything for granted and thanks for going out of your way to make me smile. I really appreciate your sponsorship. God bless your heart and I am happy about it. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Thank youuuuuuuuuuu 😭
Society's Pressure. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/sad-asian-female-touched-with-hands-of-people-5806643/ If you live in this part of the world and particularly, Nigeria, you will understand the pressure most people put themselves under just to get married. It hurts more when the pressure doesn't even come from the person involved but the parent. Society will look upon you in a certain way when they know that you are 'single' or you are not married. Most parents…
Life Is Fleeting. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/two-yellow-flowers-surrounded-by-rocks-1028930/ ***"Don't take life too seriously because you can never get out of it alive."*** This quote makes more sense as the days go by. Life is fleeting and within a twinkle of an eye, it can be gone - without warning, without heads up or signal. Just like a flower that has been plucked without nourishment. It glows in the morning and then withers away in a matter of hours.…
Compassion. I am always excited about @JonicaBradley's prompts and another way to start the week and the topic is compassion. Anyone can join in on this prompt and I am inviting @fantagira and @Hanzell to come on board too. *The rules for the writing prompt are simple:* **Write about Compassion** **Write 100% original content** **Write at least 600 words** **Tag me** @JonicaBradley **Have fun** Image Source.…
@FarmGirl, Thank you so much for your sponsorship. I am always excited when I see acts of kindness as it spurs me on to also be a blessing to others. You are a blessing to me and I am grateful for this. Thank you so much for your kindness. My heart prays for you. You make me want to speak Spanish hahaha; Gracias Amigo.
We Give Out To Give In. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/hands-people-friends-communication-45842/ *Life will always happen unannounced* *I know of this young lady from my area* *I saw her walked past me with so much sadness* *With a little bit of concern, near, I pulled her* *With a little more probing, she burst into tears* *She was alone, frustrated, distant and not with her peers* *My heart echoed thunder as tears flow ceaselessly from her face* *I saw them…
Thank you so much, mama 😭😭😭 @JonicaBradley for renewing my sponsorship. God bless you and all yours. I am highly grateful, mama.
Do Better - As Human and As A Leader. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-silhouette-during-sunset-853168/ As humans, there are some things we need to concern ourselves with and things we need to distance ourselves from because they take too much of our time and end up not profiting us in any way. Time is fleeting and if you waste one hour in the morning, you might spend the whole day looking for it. We need to make good use of our time and stop struggling with…
Kiss Goodbye To Yesterday. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-writing-on-black-board-with-chalk-3825306/ People leave and when I mean leave, there are many ways by which people can leave our lives and death seem to be the only painful one because you might not get to see that person ever again except for the memories we have to hold on to, hoping and praying nothing happens that would make us forget that face, that smile and even those moments shared. It's…
From Passion To Profit. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-standing-beside-fire-during-night-time-50650/ I don't believe there is one person without something to do and I mean, I don't feel there is anyone without at least one thing they know how to do best - something that comes naturally to them without being forced. We all have a 'gift' as I would call it and we also have the opportunity to learn new abilities. A lot has been said about Lionel Messi; An…
@ARTicLEE The blessings keeps pouring and I want to appreciate you for your kindness in sponsorship. It means a lot and I really appreciate you. Thank you so much.
Never Have I Ever... This is a fun moment for me, away from my "*preaching*" post as @fantagira would call it haha. This beautiful lady! I reserve my comment for you haha. Oh boy! So many things to let out here and I hope I won't get the tag of a bad boy hahaha but then, who cares, right? We have all done something shady before now - and we have grown as a result of it. That's life, we create memories, we make mistakes, we try to explore but still, I wouldn't call them…
Nature. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-walking-between-green-forest-trees-15286/ This is another lovely prompt from @JonicaBradley and as always, I love this too. The rules for the writing prompt are simple: **Write about Nature** **Write 100% original content** **Write at least 600 words** **Tag me** @JonicaBradley **Have fun** You can also read her thoughts on the topic as well, here. https://read.cash/@JonicaBradley/writing-prompt-8-nature-41817ea5 I…
Mindset. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-wearing-a-jacket-sitting-on-brown-wooden-crate-594610/ You are a product of what has been your dominant thoughts. A lot of people have quit or have been scared of taking a step because they have told themselves that they won't be able to go far. Most people look at the success of others and base their life on how fast others have gone and how good others are thereby limiting their progress. What you think about yourself…
Rant - Life, Patience and Caution. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-person-love-people-6951490/ As simple as it sounds, it is not all that simple for people to exhibit. It takes a whole lot to stay patient even in an insane world. There would always be things that would get you angry. There would always be people that would step on your toes, deliberately or not and that comes with life. In a world that is moving at a faster pace, there is this need for us to…
This or That... So, my friend @Zhyne06 invited me to this challenge and I promised her I would get on board. This is me, honouring the promise I made to my friend and I hope you find it as interesting as hers was. You can also read up on hers if you haven't seen it yet. This or That Challenge by @Zhyne06 https://read.cash/@Zhyne06/this-or-that-challenge-12035fc7#comment-e14f6dfc Let's get down to brass tacks... **Cookies or Cake?** I think this is an easy one for me. I would…
Giving Feels Good. Life will always be easier when we have the heart to give. The issue we have sometimes is greed - when we think of only the things we want and can get. Life functions well when we show consideration to one another. I totally understand that we might not have enough but the truth is, we can't always have enough because as humans, our wants are insatiable. We always want more even when we have attained the height we initially set for ourselves and that's not…
Encourage Yourself. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/we-ll-get-through-it-lettering-text-on-black-background-5707491/ In this world, we all need help and the help we need varies. There are days when the help you desperately seek won't come and you don't have to think those who failed to offer it are terrible human beings, no, they are not. Each person is fighting a battle you might never understand and until you listen to other people's stories before you can…
Two Fold Life. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/silhouette-photography-of-jump-shot-of-two-persons-40815/ We have to take the good with the bad where life is concerned. Everything won't always go the way we planned it but we just have to go on to live it anyway. For every dark cloud, they say there is a silver lining. There is light at the end of the tunnel they always say too. There is no need to mention light if there was no darkness. Life is in two folds and we…
Life: Success. First, I want to say I am excited that the community has been created after so many challenges faced by @JonicaBradley .

Becoming Effective. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-dart-pink-attach-on-yellow-green-and-red-dart-board-15812/ In life, there would always be many things that would be screaming for our attention. Some deserve our attention while others are merely distractions. There is wisdom in recognizing the attractions and the distractions. Recognizing them will allow us to prioritize and make the most of not just our time alone but our resources. The first thing we…
Principles of Goal Setting. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/green-typewriter-on-brown-wooden-table-4052198/ I have been able to state the importance of goal setting in my previous post and you can find it here. I will be moving on to the principles you can adopt when you want to set your goals. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/becoming-effective-ad861ca0 We have different types of goals that you can set depending on your strength and what you have in mind. There is no…
How Do You Relate To Your Goals? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/notes-on-board-3782143/ It's another thing to draw our your goals and it is another thing to have the discipline to go through with it. When the value of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. When you don't know how to carefully relate to your goals, you might notice that you are doing the same thing without results to show for it. *So, how do you relate to your goals?* **1. State Your Goals:**…
Know Your Place, People. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/blackboard-with-your-life-matters-inscription-on-black-background-4734933/ It took me a very long time before I could realize that most people are selfish and they would make you feel bad just because of their selfish ways. No offence, I have done such to people too, so that's just human nature but we can do better. I have said it many times that you need to prioritize yourself and you owe no one an apology.…
What Are The Relationships To Cultivate? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/women-sitting-on-green-grass-field-4833957/ Intelligence to me means the ability to accept a piece of information, process it and distil it in such a way that it will affect you positively as well as others too. When we talk about relational intelligence, simply put, I am talking about how you relate with your fellow human. It also means that it is the ability to sustain a relationship just…
Where Did It All Go? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/despaired-woman-touching-head-in-room-6383267/ I wrote here on the importance of relational intelligence - how you are to relate with one another and how you are supposed to also relate with yourself because you won't build as much relationship with others if you ignore loving yourself. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/what-are-the-relationships-to-cultivate-0f47b448 We might be blessed with the right kind of people…
My Presidential Speech. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-protesting-on-the-street-5789323/ I am a dreamer and I fantasize a lot. There are some fantasies I try to pursue to clear any doubts on what might be and there are some I don't sweat myself over because what's the point? Politics for one has never been my strong suit and I doubt if I would ever venture into it. I am more of someone who likes to pull the strings from backstage. Politics is too much…
Oh, @Jane. Such a sweet soul you are. Thank you for renewing your sponsorship and for giving me the needed hope and motivation to push ahead. Thank you for being the rainbow at the end of a stormy and rainy day. God bless your heart. 🤗🤗🤗
I Cherished Them. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/four-toddler-forms-circle-photo-754769/ I've read so many childhood memories today and a lot of memories kept coming to my mind. This is not in response to the challenge, I just want to write from my heart as usual. I didn't have the fanciest of childhood when it comes to living large but I moderately enjoyed my childhood. My dad didn't pamper us too much neither did he make us lack. He just knew how to strike a…
I Quit Before But Today, I Quit Again. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-sitting-on-chair-while-leaning-on-laptop-3791136/ It has been a long journey to get here and I am quitting. That's life and we have to forge ahead rather than look back in regrets. It's frustrating sometimes and I know many people can relate to this as well. It's time for something new and I am ready for the challenge that is to come. If you throw me to the wolves you can be sure I will…
Ask Those Important Questions. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/question-mark-illustration-356079/ I was watching **Ling and Lamb's YouTube channel** yesterday and someone asked them something about satisfying the sexual desires of her partner. She asked how she would cope because her sexual appetite is nowhere near that of her husband. They tried to make light of the situation while still explaining some hidden truth that most people fail to understand when they…
I Miss Her. Every moment with your loved ones is important. You don't have to trivialize any moment because before you know it - in a flash, in a heartbeat, in a moment, a lot could be lost and soon, it can become a memory. Life waits for no man and it keeps moving like the speed of a jet. Life is unpredictable. Someone said something and it's the truth. The only thing that is certain in life is death and taxes (life will demand its own while the government must demand…
