Love Yourself First


Everything created in this world has its beauty but we don't see it.  Sometimes we don't appreciate it that much like we ought to.
Not everyone has the eyes to appreciate beautiful things wrapped in a dirty cover. Until you take the covering off you will never appreciate the gift which is wrapped inside.

Sometimes, we may be beating ourselves too hard wondering when all our hardwork and sacrifice are ever going to be rewarded.
Why does my husband not appreciate everything I do for him as a wife? I cook, clean, wash dishes and clothes and bear babies for him yet he does not value what I do. I buy the best things money can buy for my wife, yet she doesn't appreciate. I provide for the home and take care of our children yet she sometimes compare me with other men, only yells for me to do more. .
Why am I not valued or appreciated by the people who are supposed to value and appreciate me?

We feel very disappointed, frustrated and let down when our sacrifice and love is not returned equally by the people we give it to.

We ask ourselves many more of these questions, seeking to find answers. We don't find the answers we are looking for, because we ourselves don't appreciate or deeply love the things we do ourselves. We have to love ourselves first, value ourselves first before other people can give us back the love we expect from them.
We should not go looking for love, worth, appreciation and respect from other people when we haven't given these things to ourselves first. The sad thing is most of the people we do these things for, may never appreciate our sacrifice. They may not even say thank you. Just like the dirty cover wrapper wrapping the beautiful gift, never let the dirty cover wrapper of most people spoil or ruin the beautiful gift you are as a person.
So, please inspite of it being hard to do,  love yourself first in everything you do. Love yourself more  to love your husband too, love yourself  more to love your wife, love yourself more to love others.
This will help you understand that you do what you do from the good place in your heart. Not because you expect anything in return. You choose to do this yourself because of the person you are.
Do not let bitterness, indifference and apathy destroy the good things you do. Use self love and self appreciation to cure them all.
Help other people see the beauty in your own self so that self beauty will attract them to you.
Remember, the value and love you give yourself will attract the same love from others to you.
Do not let the ingratitude and ungratefulness of people spoil the inner beauty who you are.

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...
