*Life: The Bitter- Sweet Magic God Gave Us*


The habit of obsessing over the idea of having a perfect life where you compress yourself into a focused point, means that you will suffer from tunnel-vision. Tunnel-vision means that you will miss much of life.
The perfect life is always around the corner, but the decent life is right here already if you can stop for long enough to see it.

Life can be described in just three words: Up and Down.  And that's how God created it.
We humans mistakenly expect life to be consistently Up.
It does not work like that in the scheme of things.

Life, along with all the natural human processes are cyclical (in the habit of repeating itself)
For instance your  personal energy  throughout life works cyclically no matter how balanced or imbalanced any lifestyle is.

Live a Life Without Judgements

We judge the life we are living because we want to know the answer before we understand the challenge.
We judge our own lives harshly and unfairly when we compare our lives to those we think have a better life than us.
The first step in moving past judgement of your life is releasing the need for an answer.
Instead of judging, form an opinion. Judgements are assumptions that usually do not change. An opinion, however, is an isolated view of the world that can change with the discovery of new thinking and  information.

Life-changing lessons

• Don’t bottle up your emotions, become self-aware and explore your emotions. Find an outlet such aswriting, meditation, or talking to a friend.
• Vulnerability takes courage. The gifts we unlock by being willing to be vulnerable far outweigh the difficulty in doing so.
• Show up, face fear, and move forward.Because fear and criticism will always be there in some form, the best course of action is always to show up anyway and move forward.
• Seek excellence, not perfection. Focus on realizing excellence, the best version of yourself despite your flaws.
• Dare to be yourself– in your strengths, skills, and beauty as well as your flaws and insecurities. In doing so, you can realize your true strength of spirit.

Adversity, failure, joy, success, pain, disappointment, victory, defeat and truimph are all part of the mixed varieties of this life that we have. Don't curse yourself or God when the bad times in life come, learn from it. Likewise, don't be too naive and ignorant to think your victories and successes will last forever now that you have suffered to achieve them. Prepare and plan for the sudden ups and downs, the unplanned responsibilities that comes with being successful. Because it will come and it is coming.
It has never changed for billions of years since creation. And it will never change for you or me. Today it's good, Tomorrow it may be bad.  Mature like a man or woman and adjust to each of its lessons.

This is life, a mix bag of bitter-sweet experiences

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

The Blueprint To Racism

In this moment of a very dark chapter for all the black race across the globe, I began wondering what the death of the late American, George Floyd really meant to the Black African in America and in Africa. While thinking about this, my mind went back to an audio I have of a college graduation speech  that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave in Detroit in the mid 1950s. In his speech, the first thing, he asked the students and their professors (I imagine black and white people seated) was all my dear black people gathered here, I am asking you today ..... what is your blueprint at this moment? Nobody answered or said a word. He went on to tell the graduating students to work very hard to find their purpose in life. And not to play second fiddle  to anybody whether white or black, hispanic or asian. Because every human being here on earth is special and created uniquely by God, each of us giving a special talent or gift. He was giving this speech, following a similar incident...
