Overcoming Fear of the Unknown

Image
Have you ever found yourself losing sleep over what might go wrong? I sure have. There were times when I spent so much energy worrying about potential problems, only to realize that what actually went wrong was never the stuff I was stressing or worried about. It's a common human tendency to let our minds run wild with worst-case scenarios. We dwell on the ''what ifs'' and ''maybes,'' fearing the unknown. However, life has a funny way of proving our worries wrong. I've come to realize that dwelling on uncertainties is like paying interest on a loan you haven't even taken yet. It steals precious moments from our present, moments that could be filled with joy, laughter, and positive experiences.  So, why waste time and energy on things that may never happen? Instead of drowning in a sea of worries, I've learned to focus on the present moment. Surely, planning for the future is essential, but letting anxiety dictate our every move isn't....

Better late than never

Image
In a world where we often rush for quick success, it's important to realize that everyone's journey is different. Just because it takes you longer to achieve something doesn't mean you have failed in your quest. Success is about facing challenges and staying determined, no matter how much time it takes. Each person's path is laden with distinct challenges and opportunities, and comparing one's timeline to others can undermine the value of personal growth and perseverance. Sometimes, you worry about starting something new because you think you're too late. But the truth of the matter is that, deciding to make a try is a success in itself. It doesn't matter when you start; what matters is that you are willing to learn and grow along the way. Success is not defined by the speed of accomplishment but rather by the determination to overcome obstacles and learn from experiences.  So, if you are working towards a goal and it's taking more time than you thought,...

Fate is a force shaping destinies with profound mystery.

Image
Fate is a mysterious force that plays a significant role in our lives. It's like an invisible guide, leading us through paths we often don't anticipate. Imagine life as a journey, and fate as the map that influences the twists and turns we encounter along the way. We may not always recognize its presence, but it subtly influences the course of our lives. This mysterious force we call fate works in intricate ways. It's as if there's a plan, a grand design that unfolds gradually. We find ourselves facing unexpected situations, meeting people we never imagined, and experiencing events that shape who we are. Fate brings a sense of order to the chaos of life, connecting dots that, at first glance, might seem unrelated. As fate weaves its influence, it leaves an indelible mark on our destinies. It's the sculptor shaping the contours of our lives with a profound sense of mystery. Some moments might feel destined, as if they were meant to be. Others may seem like chance ...

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 ...

Failure is an inevitable part of life, and it is essential to recognize that it does not define your worth or capabilities.

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...
