WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

The desire to rest and sleep is stronger every evening. But what goes on within these silent solitary sleeps and between the moments when we are fully conscious in a day is still a mystery worth exploring another day.  The sudden fleeting sleep of many of our hero-servants and men here and elsewhere tickles a tearful reality of our eminent sleep someday to come. It's a tricky truth we hate to know and shy away from any day. But when our new ancestors still beat the resounding drums of eternity, we all have an urgent duty to prepare to live, even as we rehearse this tall inevitable journey. And as we reflect on our ultimate sleep with each sleep, may we be ever mindful of the needful duty of our walk here. May we ever remember to care and live our call every moment. Good evening. #KYB ✍🏿®#

As the sun rises again, As you start another day, Kindly remember to listen to the still voice within. Listen to the music and rhythms  of your heart, and do take care. May God guide your steps this day. Good morning #KYB ✍🏿®#

What are we learning anew now? What are we doing with all our experiences? How are we utilising the gift of life today? Is there something we can teach ourselves today? Is there something we can do differently unique today? What are we teaching ourselves and our children? What are we learning and teaching the world today? Several seasons ago, I shared with my students the routine in nature and the recurring patterns in the movements of the Sun, the Moon and the possibility of plants germinating when they fall on the soil. I shared with them the beauty of life and the power that rest within them to turn things around. It is possible even today for us to teach ourselves to do things differently in unique ways for our betterment. It's possible that we are gifted in subtle ways we are yet to explore. It's possible that we are blessed with infinite abilities we don't even know of. So while praying for the spirit to understand this innate call within our make, it is

Over the years, we have seen and heard a lot of human stories. We have tasted and tested the care of behaviours of people. This is perhaps the basic thinking backing the axiom that people are people because of people. It's a reality we all have friends and enemies. But its possible that in our hustles and troubles of journeying along the paths of life, we might be disappointed, get bruised or be hurt by our expectations from people. So in trusting in God, and expecting nothing from others, we could learn to walk and preserve our lives. However, it's also true that somebody out there still values and cherishes you. Somebody still cares about you. Somebody thinks of you right now. Somebody misses you and wants to talk to you. Somebody is truly happy for you and wants to share their lives with you. Someone prays for your wellbeing. Someone admires your strength and energy. Someone wants you to be around them all the time and see your smiles. Someone remembers you in

We responded to the call to serve our country several years ago, with enthusiasm. Yours sincerely was part of the young zealous cadres, who landed at a promising school planted in a semiarid habitat, somewhere in the Northern Region of Ghana. There were green shades, which gave the school a refreshing look, that evoke the serene of the environment. In the early months, we basked in the silent welcome breeze, made acquaintances and started adjusting to the rhythms of our new friends. It's a happy friendly move at school with our students, service colleague, teachers and even the townsfolk. But townsfolk, yes after the welcome period transitioned, we realised that to live peacefully with all stakeholders in the school, we had a duty to balance fairness and firmness in our friendliness or relationships, an even insist that the right things were done, to curtail the tendency of subtle friendly abuse and overlapping of certain friendly overtures. In the funny tales of these experie

In our efforts to live this life, And in our strive to be, We make choices and decisions. We develop strategies and plans to guide us through, And we also learn the act of thinking on our feet to manage or manoeuvre through, especially when our plans and intentions deviate from our target. Sometimes the task of life itself becomes herculean and burdensome that we very often might want to throw in the towel or take an early shower.  In fact, it is true some even go through a lot of stress, depression and become hopeless or feel unloved that they take their lives through suicide and negative talk which eventually kill their spirits and their desire to even live. But can I pretend I know what it takes for you to wake up and even get going? I won't even pretend to even fully grasp what bothers you most. I won't profess to have an antidote to what causes those sleepless night or stubborn nightmares. I don't want to know the number of times you nearly gave up. I don

We converse with God in our prayers. We speak with others to enhance our lives. We interact with our natural environment directly and indirectly. Communication is critical to our survival. In fact, even when we seem not to be conversing, we are actually communicating in other forms.  Conversations are good for our growth. Healthy conversations with our teachers, mentors, friends and our benefactors or beneficiaries go a long way to enrich our lives. But beyond conversing with others, and listening to their inputs, we are obliged to have that discourse with ourselves. Conversation with yourself enlivens your soul. That discourse with yourself is vital to ground your hopes with your aspiration. A personal conversation with yourself helps to align your thoughts with your feelings. It's an essential exercise to have. So while praying to God in the quietness of time, we should also find time to have that conversation with ourselves. May God bless your day.
