GOOD PROBLEM
A friend once asked me how I get the inspiration to write and I told him by talking to him. I sensed his disappointment. What he expected me to say was that the inspiration is divine but I meant what I said, sincerely.
MY BIRTHDAY GIFT
Every November 28 is my day. My birthday gift from my staff is this awesome artistic expression to commemorate the launch of my new book, Feathers of Hope.
THE PERFECT GIFT
Hazy weather describes Yuletide. The atmosphere is different. The feeling is different. The colour is red. It is a season of giving.
COUNTDOWN
If you aren’t going to communicate clearly, your silence is even better. Simple as it sounds, ambiguous communication can ruin your relationship.
BOOK LAUNCH
It is usually a soothing relief when you accomplish a task, even in spite of the odds. That, exactly, is my mood as I announce the launch of my new book, Feathers of Hope.
YOUR GOALS AND YOU
Different people have different ways of measuring their progress but if you are one who sets goals, you will find it easier to measure your progress and possibly retrace your steps when the journey begins to traverse desired destination with no commensurate results.
RICHES OR WEALTH?
Riches and wealth are sometimes used interchangeably but the two don’t have an exact meaning. To be rich means to have a lot of possessions and material wealth but to be wealthy speaks to having sustainable and lasting wealth. In other words, to have possessions that can reproduce itself.
LOVE YOURSELF
Nothing good comes easy. Of all the rules of life, love stands tall. Even the book of life, The Bible, commanded that you should love your neighbour as yourself. It sounds easy but it is not as easy as it sounds to love. Nobody said it’s going to be easy but love is a beautiful thing. Difficult as it is to love your neighbour, it is more difficult for you to measure your love for yourself because no one is complaining of lack of love. Before you can love your neighbour, the first rule you must obey is to love yourself. If you are not the vigilant type, you may get carried away trying to show love to others without observing the first rule. It has repercussions.
EVERY SEASON HAS A REASON
Welcome to 2024. You might have achieved all your goals and more for 2023. Maybe you met it half way. It could also be that the hope for the realisation of your goals for 2023 was deferred. Own the moment, every season is for a reason. There are several reasons your goals might not have been achieved or delayed. Maybe you had some disappointments. Or perhaps you experienced scarcity of resources, but what if I tell you that abundance does not equate the fulfillment of purpose? If you have ever experienced scarcity, you would readily wish it away. I also would but there are more lessons to learn in scarcity than when there is more than enough of anything. Optimise your moment of lack so you don’t miss it when there is abundance. Every season in your life has its reason. Don’t despise the season you don’t wish for. Rather, pay attention to the lessons, many of which may be hidden in lack or disappointments. Whatever you lack presents you an opportunity to explore.
BECAUSE IT’S CHRISTMAS
The sun rises and sets just like every other day but the feeling is different. The moon glows to herald the twilight as typical of the day but the atmosphere is different. The stars glitter to attract the beauty of the skies but the excitement is different. It’s a season of love, a season of giving, a season of sharing. It is more than religion, it transcends faith. The season is not conscious of race, it is not colour sensitive, neither does it respect geographical boundaries. What then makes this season different from others? Because it’s Christmas.
