What If? - https://read.cash/@Olasquare/what-if-cc42e4af So, here is a wonderful question I love which I gave my response to. It's something I can relate with because I actually had the idea to do it many years ago but it was kicked against despite having my piece of paper with me hoping to be allowed to speak my mind rather than recite a manual which most people say light-heartedly without any seriousness to it. It's more of a ritual than an actual feeling. The question is right in the post as you read along.

The Interview...: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/the-interview-0c727116 My friend, Leona invited me for an interview - get to know me type and I promised to do justice to it today. The interview questions and answers are as detailed as they get. I love these type of questions because it's a way of opening up and speaking more about myself which I sometimes don't do often unless I'm asked. Enjoy them...

Challenges Are Part Of Life, II: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/challenges-are-part-of-life-ii-32f84eff Challenges are part of life. We can't pray not to have them. No matter how religious we are, we must have them. It's not a curse but the reality of how God and life works. It's a waste of time to be praying to be without any kind of challenge. Jesus said that in this world we would have tribulations but we should know that He has overcome the world for us.

Challenges Are Part Of Life: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/challenges-are-part-of-life-f82003fa No one wants challenges. No one wants to experience any challenge in life. If you want to graduate from the school of success even though it's a continuous cycle, you have to deal with challenges. There is no success without challenges. They don't have to be pleasant but challenges make us mature in life. We can't do without challenges in life and everyone would feel theirs differently.

Be Effective, IV: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/be-effective-iv-5c77f288 It's a continuation and this is the last part of the 4 part series on goal setting, the importance and all we need to know about goals. I have been explaining the importance of setting goals, the types of goals we have and how to stay encouraged by stepping outside of our comfort zone. We need to set the kind of goals that would make the difference and lead us to setting other goals. We can actually set a goal within a goal.

Be Effective, III: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/be-effective-iii-7f95c70a It's a continuation and it's easier to understand based on the title. I have been explaining the importance of setting goals, staying encouraged and stepping outside our comfort zone. We need to set the kind of goals that would make us effective because what's the point in setting a goal without a difference? We need to stay motivated in life and that's how to grow.

Be Effective: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/be-effective-2f1207ad In life, we should always desire to be better than we were yesterday. Those whom life give more too, are those who seek to be better than they were yesterday; those who seek to become more effective, not only for them but for the impact they can add or give to other people’s lives. I shared the importance of creating goals and how to achieve them. Image Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-and-white-dartboard-1552617/

Motivation Thursday: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/motivation-thursday-8050ac25 Another day to be here with my poetic words. The inspiration for writing these ones I am sharing today hits differently. I had no idea what topic to write on with the poems and I just grabbed my phone, clicked on the notes and the first line of each poem came to me and I didn't stop. I just kept on writing and developed both poems in matter of minutes. I love when giving meaning to words and I enjoyed putting these ones down. Enjoy them and let me know what you think. I always appreciate your comments and I look forward to more. Image Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-a-girl-striving-to-climb-5916170/

Celebrating Life: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/celebrating-life-9468715e It's a day of mixed emotions as celebration is for both my late dad (his posthumous birthday) and a very special friend of mine whose birthday is also today. Celebrating both people...I expressed myself in heartfelt but simple words and also in poetry.

We Start With Family: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/we-start-with-family-a236d488 Family is important. I don’t think we can do away without one. I understand that we all have different ideas of what a family means, based on our background and upbringing, but there is no denying the fact that family is important to our lives. Family should be about love, support and creating memorable experiences even unpleasant ones too. For some, it's heaven on earth and for some, it's a lion's den where fine cubs are raised.

I Am Encouraged: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/i-am-encouraged-a1aedc90 I am always encouraged to share my works of poetry with you all and the way a lot of people are now trying their hands on it, caressing the words and being creative about it gives me so much joy. I've said it that it doesn't have to be complicated. Just put your thoughts or feelings into words and don't do too much. Let your heart speak and pass a message across, then you will be fine. I love reading poems and if you manage to write one, kindly tag me when you post. I would visit the post with joy.

Face Value, False Value: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/face-value-false-value-bd575587 We live in a world where we judge things based on how we see them. The truth is, some things run deeper than they appeared on the surface. We are always quick to assume things than look deeper. We are all guilty of this and that's why I love the approach of Jesus in the Bible.

Inspired Olawalium, II: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/inspired-olawalium-ii-fd6a249c I love it when I get inspired to scribble down my thoughts. It can be something I picked up off my head or about something I am witnessing which caused a stir deep inside me. Here, I shared three rhythmic and powerful poems full of emotions. I would love to know which one you love the most... Enjoy...

All Grace Abounds, II: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/all-grace-abounds-ii-7966862b I shared the first part to this post yesterday and this is a build up post to that one. To fully understand the context I am drawing this post from, it's important to read the first part. In case you miss it, kindly read it. It gives a background understanding so you can fully understand this second part. See you on this one... Thank you all...

@olawalium

All Grace Abounds: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/all-grace-abounds-bcc58da5 You don't need to be a born again to be able to learn how to save. Even when an unbeliever saves and a believer won't save, that believer would beg and the unbeliever won't, even though Jesus is in your heart, you will still suffer economically. Your finance must be planned for it to be sustainable. If every day you have to be calling God for provisions it shows you are not smart. If you don't create a system that provides your daily bread, you will still beg. Image Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/antique-bills-business-cash-210600/

Weekend Pickup: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/weekend-pickup-f4f9352b You're at a bar for a night out and spot a person you are attracted to. How do you approach the situation, introduce yourself, get them interested in you and talk with you and keep the conversation flowing? Write at least 400 words. This isn't a fictional story, write how you would personally do it in real life. Image Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/smiling-woman-sitting-at-bar-10167407/

Unrealistic Expectations, IV: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/unrealistic-expectations-iv-e48ef3a8 We need to understand that everyone has their life and no one owes us anything. If they freely give to us, it is out of the kindness of their hearts and not because they are obligated to. Relationships expose our vulnerability which is why we need to filter those we allow into our lives. What are the ways that we can nurture the relationships we have in our lives? I shared 4 ways to do that in this post. Image Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-white-dress-shirt-1677275/

@olawalium

Unrealistic Expectations, III: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/unrealistic-expectations-iii-cfd1d1fa When I was planning for my wedding, I told our boss officially that I would be getting married and once in a while when he comes to the office he would make jest of me as the groom and then genuinely ask how the plans were going and all I ever answered him was "It is going fine, sir". I never complained nor put up a pity face to force his hands. I shared my personal experience in this post on how I had little expectation even when I was itching to ask for it.

@olawalium

Unrealistic Expectations, II: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/unrealistic-expectations-ii-c279e906 We have been conditioned to the fact that the moment someone is your girlfriend, the moment you pop the question she must say yes. She has a life too, remember and your vision has to align with her own and she needs to see what you are seeing before she can agree with you. Two people can’t walk together unless they have agreed, the Bible clarified this. Image Source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-sitting-on-bench-1666779/

@olawalium

Unrealistic Expectations: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/unrealistic-expectations-ea2ab8be Just because we have some expectations doesn’t mean those expectations are valid, reasonable or realistic. Some expectations are valid and can't be traded while some are not healthy and defy common sense. We all have this feeling of entitlement and that is the truth with humans. We sometimes have this feeling of entitlement as a result of our closeness or as a result of the relationship we have or think we have with someone.

Joy Overflow: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/joy-overflow-c9a1a496 As believers we are to be full of joy at all times regardless of the situation. It's not easy but that's a call to the life of faith in God. We don't see things the way the world sees things. With faith, you only have to believe it is possible even though it's not physically manifesting yet.

@olawalium

Expectations and Life: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/expectations-and-life-e98e03fa A lot of people take rejection too much to heart. The truth of the matter is, it's not the fact that they got rejected that hurts them more but the expectations they had before the rejection. Sometimes you dream everything would go just as you planned and boom, it bursts and hurts and you try to look for how to pin the pain and hurts that you transfer it on others.

@olawalium

Action Still Speaks: https://read.cash/@Olasquare/action-still-speaks-3cafb5a4 There are so many life lessons and I've heard quite a lot and seen quite a lot. There is a popular saying: "Actions speak louder than words." It is not farther from the truth. In fact, it's the truth. Some people won't tell you how they feel about you but they will show you, pay attention. Have you ever heard people say "Silence is golden when you can't think of an answer?" Or "Silence speaks louder than any word could?". Silence is an action. Silence can be so quiet yet so loud.
