Be Concerned

Image
The issues that confront us transcend our politics. The challenges that caress our hearts are critical that need urgent attention. It's about prioritising our care, and sacrificing our greed. Our duty to care is an eternal that we need to VALUE. So please be interested in your health and what you eat. Please be concerned about the little little things of life. And do take care of your wellbeing. Stay blessed and may God keep you safe. Greetings #KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ®#

Prudent Zeal

Image
"A wise magistrate lends stability to his people, and the government of a prudent man is well ordered." (Sirach 10:1, The African Bible, pg. 1123). So beware of the snares of the seduction and enticing additives in the software of our behaviours. Be careful in how you handle people at every level. Therefore, in all your dealings, please note that prudence in our social relationship is critical . God bless and keep you this day. Greetings #KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ®#

The Other Meaning

"In West Africa cow milk is expensive" was excerpt of a text a friend was asked to read in class during our Junior Secondary School days. We giggled and laughed naughtily at how she rendered the text, perhaps because it sounded funny and seems to add an unwarranted flavour to the intended meaning of the text. We equally make meaning of words based on our system of socialisation and our peculiar experiences. Our society and environment subtly or actively play a role in helping us make these meanings. It is possible that no two people have the exact meaning for a symbol, gesture and words, which are heavily influenced by our experiences and exposures. Interestingly, Fisher & Adams (1994) were apt in their observation that there are intended meanings and psychological meanings as well as social meaning or negotiated meanings in our lives. Besides, we also know that there are literal meanings, contextual meaning, unintended meaning and emotional meanings. Others may incl

Spaces of honour

Aside caring for ourselves in life, there are relevant spaces of honour we ought to take care of in the processes and linkages of our relationships. Take care of them and do have a pleasant evening. God bless you. #KYB ✍๐Ÿฟ®#

Uneasy Move

Image
You would have learned by now that life is an uneasy affair. It was not easy yesterday and I doubt if would ever be easy. Nobody has ever promised it would be easy in the future. But no matter what's going in your life, NEVER LOSE HOPE. Yes! Never give up or lose your focus and locus in chatting the path to your greatness. Sometimes, it's about timing. Other times, it's about making some detours, delays and having to do with some disappointments here and there. Often, we need the strength to be patient, and the courage to deal with our fears and doubts, in order to handle our challenges as well as the distracting opposing forces. But in all these struggles, please stay positive in bad times, be humble in good times, and always trust God at all times, because no situation is permanent. Perhaps before you go to bed, do remember that this is just a phase, which shall also pass. Let the tears flow if they are unstoppable. Let the rains whip you if they must. Let the

We make thousands decisions within a day. This is because every one is endowed with that freewill to decide on what to do, when and how to even do it. However, it's not enough to limit ourselves to making the right or good decisions or choices. We have to also reflect on the consequences and circumstances motivating our decision and think through the blessings and burden of our decision. Whichever way we look at it, we ought to pay attention be fully aware of our decisions. This is because we're products of our decisions. But as leaders at level and in every engagements, we need to reduce the errors of making terrible decisions. To avoid harvesting the blissful fruits of bad decisions, we ought to be guided by good intentions and the public interest by listening to our conscience and good reason. This is needed because the effects of our decisions could far reaching. Sometimes we can right the wrongs by reforming or correcting ourselves in order to make amends, while othe
