Hurting people back won't heal you

Image
When someone or people hurts us, it's natural to feel angry, betrayed, or at most, vengeful. We might be tempted to lash out and hurt them back, thinking it will make us feel better or bring some sense of justice. But note, hurting someone in return rarely brings the healing or peace we seek. In fact, it often perpetuates a cycle of pain and resentment. Hurting someone back may provide temporary relief or a fleeting sense of satisfaction , but it only deepens the wounds for both parties involved. It fuels negativity and perpetuates a cycle of hurt and retaliation, leading to further damage to relationships and emotional well-being. True healing comes from within, not from seeking revenge or inflicting pain on others. It requires forgiveness, and letting go of resentment. It's about acknowledging our own pain and finding healthy ways to heal, rather than projecting our pains onto others. Choosing not to hurt someone back doesn't mean we condone their actions or let them off ...

Conquering Fear, Protecting Love.

  Failure is not your enemy, your fears are. You must face your fear to protect the people you love. Failure is an inevitable part of life, and it is essential to recognize that it does not define your worth or capabilities. Often, our fears become the real obstacles that hold us back from reaching our full potential. They can be limiting beliefs and negative thoughts that keep us from taking risks and pursuing our goals. However, it's crucial to understand that confronting these fears head-on is the key to personal growth and success. By facing our fears, we not only develop resilience and courage, but we also gain a deeper understanding of ourselves . This self-awareness can lead to personal transformation and the ability to overcome future challenges more effectively.

Don't marry for them, marry for you!

Image
  I heard getting married is one of the easiest thing to do in our society today. Gone are those days when the parents of the intending couples do a lot of findings about the family their child is marrying into before approving their marriage. The aim of this investigation is to make sure their child(ren)  marry into a good family, in terms of health, character, fame, generational curse, among others.  Parents are simply playing that role to make sure their children did not marry into the wrong family. But today's singles have totally different reasons for choosing their spouse When we think about two people getting married, we'd like to think that their decision is based on true love. That they have found the person they want to grow old with, who treats them the way they deserve and who is committed into a future together. Unfortunately, in the real world many of us get married for other reasons than ones above. Though to them, they are great reasons.  Some o...

Your marriage is as sweet as you make it

Image
  Most couples often give up easily on their marriage due to one reason or the other, not knowing that the faults of their misunderstanding lies between them. Most times, when a marriage is in trouble, most couples see their marriage as a mistake, rather than seeing the mistakes they are making in their marriage as the challenge they should work on and overcome together.  At a point, they begin to regret getting married to their partner.

Sooner or later, they often find themselves  wishing that they had remained with their first spouse because they found greater trouble ...

Rebrand your lady, she is beautiful

Image
All ladies are beautiful, they just need rebranding I heard lots of stories from ladies on how they were dumped, just because they are not looking good enough for show offs, (i.e they don't wear latest dress/wears or latest wigs/weaves). This gives me a heart wrenching pain whenever the thought of how physical beauty is the judge of how most men treat their women. They termed it - "she is not presentable"  To the men out there Most ladies that don't wear the latest dress or latest weaves are not happy with the way they look. And I'm telling you it took them the last ounce of self esteem to walk around not wearing the latest wears or weaves. The least you can do for such lady as a man is make her feel beautiful because looking good is very expensive and not all ladies can afford it. Which is why most result to "other ways" to look good.  But then, men don't see it that way. They want an independent lady who is good for show offs and not minding what ...

Wildflowers

Anything is possible when u choose to make it possible You should be like Wildflowers that grow in a mountain or in a field and manage to bloom even when they are not nurtured or watered.  Wildflower is still a flower and would be cherished when seen.  Whether you bloom early or late, you are still a flower.  You will have many days of frustration in your life; however, don't ever think of giving up, because you did not come this far just to come this far. Remember that all turbulent time is a visitor and like visitors, they will pass by.  Even if you get stepped on along the way, LIKE A WILDFLOWER, YOU WILL BLOOM AGAIN Wildflowers survive amongst all types of weeds, you will survive too.  Wildflowers bloom anywhere they find themselves, you will bloom too.  No matter how far or how long it seems it is taking, don't give up because your time to bloom is almost here.  You are a WILDFLOWER, you will survive it all. Don't give up!  - Maiden wura.

When a lady see how happy her once upon a time suitor is in his marriage, she will be like ‘’I wish I said yes when he asked me out then… My marriage would have been a fairytale… And they lived happily ever after’’ When a man see how happily married a lady he once ditched is, he will be like ‘’I wish I took her serious and never let her go then… see how happy she is.’’ Her husband is indeed fortunate to have her But the truth is, your marriage or relationship is what you make it to be. You need to stop comparing your spouse or marriage to others. Please don’t get caught in comparison trap because you don’t know what they are going through. You can only see what they chose to show you. Note: every marriage is unique. The fact that the grass looks greener on the other side doesn’t mean you need to move to the other side.
