Happy new month, everyone. The month started on a high note already and I want to thank @FarmGirl for the sponsorship. I am super excited because it's a great way to start the month already. Super happy about this. I am excited about what August has to offer. Thank you so much, @FarmGirl.
@Olasquare
Hello, August. Life is a funny one and it would test you to your limit. I felt unmotivated this morning and I almost skipped Church which has never happened before in a very long time. People will test you, life will test you, situations or circumstances would test you but I have noticed that when you feel the impulse not to do some things that you are used to, that is when you should actually do what you've been used to. I have always been making a post every day and I…

Seek To Grow. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-a-green-plant-1072824/ On my other blog sites, I shared in form of a poem the desire for humans to always seek to learn. We have to desire growth because that's the only way we won't be left behind in this world. I shared yesterday my resolve to finish my online course this month. I got that course for a cut price. I paid a token for a course that should have cost me **$140** or more but I have been too…

Unpredictable Humans. Life will always surprise you and people will always do the same. There is no amount of preparation you can have that will get your mind set on some certain things. Life and humans have a way of shocking you unexpectedly. With life, I can deal because there are some things that would always be out of your control but with humans, we are responsible for our actions. We have the right to act a certain way or not and that's the power of choice. In as much…

Olawalium: Labels. Here we have another prompt for the week and as usual, I am excited about it. Anything from @JonicaBradley is exciting, so I am pumped up for it. Anyone can participate in this and as she would always say, there is no time limit as to when you can join in on the act. The rules are simple: Write anything on Labels Write 100% original content Write at least 600 words (so Rusty will drop by and beer generous) Tag me @JonicaBradley Join the Promptly Jonica…

Be Accountable With Your Growth. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-of-beer-bottles-on-wood-315658/ For you to effectively grow as a human, you need to be accountable. If you don't act accountable, even for you, you can't hold yourself to the standards that you should, only because you will slack off and compromise. Whatever you want to do, try and tell someone about it. I am not saying sell your dreams to others because we live in a world where people steal…
@Olasquare
Stretch Yourself. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/text-5356427/ We really don't know the power of the brain. I feel as humans, we limit ourselves and we try to find the easy way out all the time. The human brain is so powerful and that makes us different from animals. Animals do the same thing over and over again and they don't get tired of their ways of life. There is nothing they are improving on because, by default, their nature is circled around a certain…

Forgiveness. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-gray-blazer-sitting-on-red-sofa-5875109/ Can anyone go through life without being offended or offending another whether intentionally or not? We've all been at the receiving ends of either seeking forgiveness or being asked to forgive another person. We can't go without offending one another hence the importance of forgiveness. We have to forgive one another whether it is easy or not. Why is it important to…
@Olasquare
@Lazysnail thank you so much for your sponsorship. I've been blessed with amazing people this month already and I am also seeking for ways to sponsor even more people. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Race For It - $100 Bill. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/100-us-dollar-banknotes-3531895/ I watched a video many years ago and I am sure most people would have seen it too. Whether you have seen it or not, the lessons are valid even till now and I will be sharing my thoughts on it. We all have varying needs and any amount we get as an addition would always be welcomed, right? If anyone asked you to race for a $100 bill, would you? Even if you don't like running,…
@Olasquare
One Last Time. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-and-white-photo-of-clocks-707676/ I honestly can't remember how many times I have said this. I have a soft spot for showing consideration to people. Every time I say "*This is the last time*" or "*One last one and I am done*" I find reasons to get dragged (in a good way) into what I thought I wouldn't. It's not because I can't stick to my works but mostly because I like being considerate and show support. I read…
@Olasquare
You have proved yourself to be a wonderful human. You are all shades of cuteness and amazement, @tired_momma. Thank you for always making me smile. I am not taking your love and friendship for granted. Thank you for the sponsorship, again. ❤️❤️❤️

Teaching - The Fruits of My Labour. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/sliced-fruits-on-tray-1132047/ **I** am always excited by Jonica's prompts. She knows how to dig deep and make her prompts relational to every aspect of life. One of the major reasons why I always love participating in it. I wish you strength, always, mama. Anyone can participate and there is no time limit to it. To participate: Tell all of us all about the fruits of your labour! The rules to the…
@Olasquare
@JonicaBradley oh...sweet mama. You are a blessing all round and my heart prays for you even more. Thank you always helping out and this sponsorship came in handy. Thank you so much, mama. 🤗🤗🤗
@Olasquare
@ARTicLEE what a gem you are. Thank you so much for gracing me with that amazing sponsorship this early hours. My heart is excited and my heart also prays for you. Thank you for bringing sunshine into our world. The world could use more of your kind. Thank you. Deeply appreciated. 🤗🤗🤗

Being A Nigerian. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/ethnic-man-looking-from-behind-curtain-in-sunlight-3508995/ What can I say to these things? How do we explain these things to upcoming generations? As a parent, how do you even explain to your child when they ask you about the happenings around? No one is safe, nothing is certain and the future looks bleak with burnt dreams. Where are we going from here, people? I am proudly Nigerian and I wear my heart on my…

You Are Not Failing. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-blue-and-brown-plaid-dress-shirt-touching-his-hair-897817/ A lot of people lose their peace in so many ways. They have said there is no higher court than the court of conscience and as humans, we lose our peace in diverse ways. Life is not perfect and this is why we all strive to do things better while also learning. There are so many aspects of life that will get you all worked up. Some things do not add…
@Olasquare
We All Have. We all have our stories and we would love to share them. We all have dreams too, I believe and we would love to share them with those who can help us to actualize them. One thing about life is, it is full of an abundance of lessons to learn. No man knows it all. You can't even live long enough to know it all and even an old man, if he is open to learning, would still have one or two things to learn from. We've all been hurt and I am sure that we feel like giving…
@Olasquare
@Judith1969 Thanks you so much, my friend. Thank you for the sponsorship and your heart of kindness. I appreciate it and I appreciate you and all you stand for. It's been amazing being friends with you. God bless your heart even more.
@Olasquare
What Are You Looking For? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-standing-on-pathway-2682462/ Someone once said that we shouldn't go for looks because it fades. That's the truth because most people get drawn to the beauty and forget all about the character. I guess it all depends on what we are looking for. Some can overlook toxic behaviour as long as the person is beautiful or handsome but know your limit and not accept what you know you won't be able to deal…

Direct and Indirect Languages. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-father-with-son-near-plate-with-avocado-in-room-7114617/ **African Parent Language:** If you have ever come across a Nigerian parent or let me say an African parent then you will understand the importance of expressions. Expression in this instance is more like a coded language where our parents say something without actually speaking. And as a sharp child, you must understand the message or else…

Mental Health Issues. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/alone-man-person-sadness-236151/ I am not an expert when it comes to this field but I would talk about the human aspect of things and what is expected of us as humans. The world is not how it used to be. We have suffering almost at every corner vested deliberately on others by people who take pride in seeing others suffer because that's the only way to boost their ego. Without the suffering of others, they…
@Olasquare
@Bloghound a gem in human, an angel here on earth. You sure know how to spike encouragement and give anyone the push amidst everything. My heart says thank you and I really appreciate your sponsorship. You are a rare gem. Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗

History Reoccurring. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/silhouette-photo-of-man-leaning-on-heart-leaf-shape-tree-during-dawn-744667/ @Princessbusayo just see what you have started hahahaha. @George_Dee picked up from where she left off and now, @George_Dee challenged me to continue from where he stopped. It has been ages since I wrote my first story and it is really not my strong suit but why should I miss out on such an opportunity to continue this amazing thread.…
@Olasquare
Alcohol and I. `Turning away from alcohol hahaha` I really don't know how the issue with alcohol started but I have been seeing a lot of posts on it and I decided to share my own two cents. I plead with you all not to laugh...if anyone laughs, I guess I know where to find you and who knows, maybe it won't even be a funny post... We will find out at the end of the post, right? I've never been a fan of alcohol and it has never impressed me to want to sit down and gulp it all…

Football Recap - English Premier League. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-sitting-on-stadium-seats-3991976/ I think I am cutting off some football lovers which is unfair hahaha. So, I guess once in a week, I will be doing a football recap which would come up on Sundays. I am a big fan of football and it's good to see @George_Dee dedicate so much time to football over the weekend too, to the extent he forgot to make a post and do his laundry haha. As you can…

@deedum... You are like an angel, hanging up from the sky, weightless, dancing on the head of a pin. Thank you so much, my friend for renewing my sponsorship. It means a lot to me. 🤗🤗🤗

It Takes Time. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-and-woman-sitting-on-sidewalk-226166/ Oh well...I am back to one of my favourite topics; relationships. Haha. I can't help it, I am sorry. I know of so many people who are feeling pressured because they are not in a relationship. I never got that pressure from my parents but I know a lot of people whose parents are breathing down their necks because they are either single or dragging their relationship beyond the…

Shut The Door. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/white-wooden-door-3616740/ Our mind is like a gateway for all the things we allow into our space. Our mind is so powerful because whatever we feel, consciously or unconsciously, we allow it into our subconscious and we begin to act it out. Most of the time we act without knowing, most of the things we have been exposed to and allowed into our space. We see ourselves acting it out and begin to wonder how we got to that…
@Olasquare
I am so sorry I haven't been as active as I would love to be. I shared last week that I would be going for the groom's men duty this week and I travelled on Tuesday and just got back. I know I have a lot of posts to catch up on and I am sorry. I will try and make it all up. It feels good to be back and I am tired. My head aches and I think I need more sleep but I will catch up on the sleep tonight. I really and always appreciate you all. You've been amazing and I am not…

All In Your Head. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-punching-gray-wall-3754243/ I've always maintained that we are a product of how we were raised and the environment we found ourselves. I understand that it shouldn't be the reason why we turn out a certain way because we are responsible for our choices, but there are some choices we can never change. We might change it afterwards but immediately, we can't and they formed a bit of who we are and how we turn out.…

I am still your official photographer, Janey. I want to say thank you to an amazing friend; @Jane. Thank you for the sponsorship. It's a privilege to call you my friend. Thank you so much 😭

Think Differently. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-blue-denim-jacket-doing-hand-sign-7413888/ We all desire to have a better world where all our dreams and goals can be actualized. We don't want to struggle all our lives with little or nothing to show for it. We want to leave a better world even for our children so they would have a better experience than what we have been used to. We sometimes seem to forget that life is not all about wishes but about…

@Pantera... You have always been a huge help to me, not just with your sponsorships but with guidance and help in order to do better here. Thank you for being a blessing and for your continual help. I deeply appreciate you. 🤗🤗🤗

Premier League Matches Recap - Week 3. It's another week and I am presenting us with the **English Premier League** matches recap. We didn't have too many of the big games this time around but I would be analysing the pick of the weekend games for me and of course, my favourite **Manchester United** too - Selective Matches Recap. **Manchester City v Arsenal:** Image Source. https://images.app.goo.gl/nViHjXd5dXx9nMGi6 This is one of the most entertaining games of the weekend…
