Reviews and Resolutions

Image
As the year draws to a close, Another new year beckons with much hope. There is no need belabouring the annual rituals of reviews, overviews, counter views, and reflections or stalk taking exercises to measure what we set out to do this year, in order to draw new resolutions. By now we all have a fair idea of what we have been able to accomplish, where we have fallen short and what we couldn't achieve. Whatever the outcome, please don't be discourage but be encouraged to do your little best. Indeed, we all had our fair share of ups and downs, happy and sad moments, just as we had defining moments and minor moments with some minuses. We might have had huge appetite and big expectations to do A, B and C this year. And I know there were even moments we nearly succumb to frustration of our inability to meet set goals. In the course of the year, we might have also incurred some loses in our various endeavours, with some of us loosing relatives or friends in the year. In fac

The God Factor

We all have special stories to tell in our efforts to weave through the intricate paths of life. Indeed, yesterday, a very young energetic friend in his 90s invited me to witness the 20th Anniversary of his marriage to his beautiful wife. I felt humbled and honoured to be invited by my friend, whose children are older than me. In my sober reflection of this invite, I remembered how I also fell some 20 years from a tree. That episode has indeed thought me great lessons. But through the changing scenes of time, Through our various encounters, I realised your unique story is relevant. Your story is still important for human progress. Even though we cannot phantom how, we have survived all this years. How we have been enabled to be able to walk through life to this day is a mystery. It is true that the God factor is still active and critical to our survival. And in spite of our various mistakes, miscalculation, missed opportunities, and our unworthiness and stubbornness, God has ge

The Gift Box

Image
Your being is a gift. Your life is also a gift. Every new day is a gift box, stuffed with grace, goodness, and opportunities. Although we cannot have everything as and when we like them, life essentially is still a simple affair. And even as often as we likely may taste the complexities of this gift in our experiences and lessons, it is my prayer we remain positive and optimistic. Therefore, in sharing the gift box of this day, may we be inspired by love and guided by divine wisdom to live, these precious moments of the goodness of life's gift to us. Take care and keep the peace. God bless your day. Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#

A Relevant Note

Although Jean-Paul Sartre states that "Existence precedes and rules essence." The truth of matter is that our essence of living the moments is what edifies our souls. Therefore in living these moments, kindly remember our lives are essentially gifts from the Most High and the more reason we must Live it. Keep the PEACE. God bless. Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#

Seasonal Greetings

The things that excites us are mostly not random. Same goes for things that annoys us daily. These things are actually connected to our purpose and the very essence of our lives. Sometimes, a deep conversation with ourselves could help reveal these simple truths. Other times, an intimate moment of encounter with God is all we need to understand the basics of our lives. Even though, it risk being a noisy funfair, please find space to reconnect with this essence and bless others with your kindness. Today, there is need to revisit this essence even as we relive the beauty of this day. Kindly accept my Seasonal Greetings to you. Wishing you HOPE, JOY & PEACE. God bless. #KYB ✍🏿®#

Make Some Time

Image
Sometimes, it's subtle but other times it's loud. On a daily basis, we make or meet friends at different locations, places or at various events. Sometimes we aren't able to get in touch, because of our commitments, busy schedules and tight engagements. But beyond our genuine reasons for our inability to frequently meet and chat, perhaps we have to make some time to connect or reconnect and catch up with some updates or issues we yearn to talk about. Let's not lose time or miss this opportunity to reignite our friendship. Even as we do so, please let's seek balance in our relationship and let's be motivated and governed by a genuine sense of responsibility in our relations with humanity and our environment.  Good morning  🍇🥬 #KYB ✍🏿®#

Inner Values

Image
The future of our development would be piecemeal if we continue to add concrete upon blocks, without tunning our efforts to improve the quality of our lives. While cultivating an urgent sense of care for ourselves and others, we need to also pay attention to our inner values, even as we try to be warm towards one another. In our efforts to build credible relationships, and serve our common good, we are more than capable of being wonderful things, because we are equipped with intelligence and the potential for developing critical bridges of care, which would help create lasting support system to sustain our well-being. To advance this kind of development, we need to simply interrogate our inner motivation and find our inner values, which could help us grow that collective commitment to model a social system to better serve us. Beyond social interventions with beautiful goals, there is a human being who need care. There an environment that needs to be protected and preserve to sustai
