WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

The experience of growing up in the village and tasting the city life offers one varied views on life. Many of us might have experienced the transitions and the bliss that comes with it. But as we live in interesting times of challenges and controversies, it is good to think through some of our actions and approaches. As dynamic as our cultures and society maybe, I am convinced that for far too long we have inherited foreign forms of development, lifestyle dressing, eating habits, economic, health, religion,  governance, and education systems as well as our value system without necessarily marrying it to our traditional ones. In spite of their merits, we are aware of the heavy toll these developments have had on the vitality of our own ways, of our identity and of our self-confidence, and self-worth.  I am very much aware some may disagree with these suppositions, but I am equally convinced that to make meaningful progress as a people, we must rediscover our value system

There are some manoeuvres that take us to places. The detours on this journies are a necessary component. Yet, their valuable reasons and lessons are rare. It is possible some are only existing and not living. It is likely many are wasting away their delight and dignity, while others might even be unhappy with this gift of life. But are we to worry endlessly in this space? Are we to discount our relevance in this course? Certainly not. Having come this far, we have the right to live.   However, beyond living as survivors in the trenches of this journey, we must thrive. This is because our mission in life essentially involves adapting ways to thrive with some passion, dissension, compassion, dimension, and propulsion for progression with some unique styles. Therefore, as we rally our efforts to live, may we never forget our utmost mission to be good, with a good sense of humour. Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍10/12/19

There is so much we can learn about ourselves when cultivate a healthier and more humane relationship with ourselves, our environment and our God.   In exercising the grace of this day, may we endeavour to render a good service required of us. May our efforts today contribute to helping the world smile again. Take care. Remain Blessed. ©KYB ✍🏿9/12/19

There were others here before we were born. People lived, worked and walked here. And others will continue to live when we vacate this space, that is why humility is necessary. If we critically look at things, we would realise that those who failed were not terrible after all. And those who succeeded were not exceptional or entirely deserving, that is why we have to be humble. In this competitive era, sometimes we feel it's our right to grab everything, forgetting creating a win-win situation is better. We sometimes forget that all that we seek are transient or temporal There is a greater need today to recognise humility as not only a virtue in the domain of thought but a vital assert that keeps us in tune, fresh and anew. ©KYB ✍8/12/19
