CRITICAL THINGS TO QUIT DOING

-
  
It's an interesting fight that hot afternoon on our playground in the village.  
It's in fact a continuation of an unfinished argument in school the previous Friday preceding the Saturday. But friends of Kosi and Eli who thought they're doing a ladies thing, incited them and even arranged a fight on that neutral grounds so that everybody will find their smoothness levels.
The D-day came and the fight was interesting match to watch but our wrestler Kosi lost terribly. And even though we the promoters of Kosi had wanted a rematch to prove our point and enhance our bragging right Kosi was just not really for it. It turned out he was injured in the fight and had to think of the managing his pains. So he practically said no to us, his promoters.
Many people find it difficult to say no because most of us are brought up with the mindset that quitting or saying no is a sign of weakness, a sign of defeat and make quitting an inappropriate thing to do in life.
We are schooled to think that perseverance and determination is the only way out of every situation. And we live believing that that hard work, persistent trials and always thinking of ways to achieve our aims is the only way.
But excerpts from Dr Travis Bradberry's: Critical Things you must QUIT Doing Now To Be More Successful, gives a different perspective worth noting.
1. Quit saying ‘Yes’, because every yes you utter is a trade-off. By saying yes to something, you're invariably saying no to something else. Learn to say no sometimes.
2. Quit thinking everything is going to work out on its own, without making an effort.
3. Quit thinking you have no choice in any situation. Quit doubting yourself because you certainly have a choice to make.
4. Quit putting things off. Start doing something today about your innate dreams.
5. Quit doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
So while we keep praying, and keep reviewing our efforts and strategies, let's challenge ourselves to live our core dreams. Let's strive to learn, live and love as we keep a sane balance in all we do.
Have a blessed weekend.

In the 2023 Class

With Thanksgiving we crawled to crossover to this year. We entered the class of 2023 with renewed expectations, We joined the class with hope and resolve to inch higher. We stretched our yearnings in our white gear with glee, At the permission to exercise the gift of life in 2023. With the epiphany of the inceptions, We had the baptism of some pleasant unpleasant news. There were some unexpected expected goodbyes. There were economic downturns that touched our smiles. All in the process of the 2023 class. With some miracles here and there, We trekked the evidential path of experience of liveliness. We learned lessons through our encounters and engagements. There were low-high or high-low important rewarding moments. All in the vicinity of the 2023 class. With the melting pot of people, culture, influence, power, We remember the flooding that overwhelmed our comfort. We recall the vulnerable tears and the solidarity of our people, All in the memorable 2 023

Honouring the Elderly

In the library of living legends your name is recorded. In the library of borrowed hearts, our connections still live. In the library of our common history, a society of experiences still breathes. In this library of hope, are shelves of lives that still thrives. In this library of human resources are many with miles of smiles, Entrusted with a priceless collection of ancient folklore. In this library of pages are those with ages who guide us through the reality of this perilous-fun loving matrix of life. In this library of changing scenes of adventures are memories of moments worth keeping. In the present library of our future are the pillars and linkages of our common heritage buried in our bloodlines of our ancestry. This is why it's proper to revere the elderly in our society. This is why it's vital to honour and celebrate their contributions. This is why it's necessary to listen, learn and leverage our connections with the elderly and become better. Greetin

A Blessed End of 2023

Several years ago, I went to town not to crossover or watch the might of the last day's night but to feel the air of the last day. It was somewhat noisy, phony, and funny but I just didn't like the depth of creativity in the way Christians were using to cash in on the last day of the calendar. Today is D-Day or call it the mother of all nights or the Climax of all the overs: in Crossover, Climb over, Crawl over, Jump over, Scale over, Scream or Shout over, Sprint over, Run over, Pray or Push over, Watch or Walk over, Take over, Limp over, Jet over, Dive over, Lift over etcetera. It's not just enough to do the watch night and the so-called crossing-overs but to soberly reflect on our lives, and our attitudes in the past 365 days. We need to interrogate our efforts, our Care, our thoughts, and our actions or inactions so that we will individually and collectively access ourselves. Even in our reviews, overviews, and counterviews of our efforts in 2015 we can&
