WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

Treat people the way you wish to be treated. It is vital to treat people and even the ground you walk on with a level of respect. It is a fact, we are sometimes inconsiderate in the way we judge people, be they strangers, subordinates, juniors, the marginalised, and friends. They all have their silent battles. It is likely we hastily dismiss those who show signs of suspension of a probable misdemeanour, without looking beyond the obvious. Often our astute powers of observation might help us to notice aspects of someone’s character that don’t measure up to standards. We may also condemn others not because we truly know them, but based on hearsays and what a third-person told us. It’s likely we may even set the bar of expectations so high that only a few could pass our tough standards. While not advocating for people's security consciousness to be lowered, it behoves us all to treat everyone with dignity and decency. We even have a greater need to care for those o

The demands of life activities could put undue pressures on us. Sometimes, we become susceptible to these realities and we need to recharge. Rest and Relaxation are critical in this resolve. So, kindly consider taking a little R-and-R. Take time out to Rest, Relax, Recharge and Reflect. Often we need to empty our mind and relax our muscles in order to unwind. We need to court inner peace in order to retune. The practice of silence and solitude allows one to appreciate the new perspective on life. This is because in this age of noise and distraction, There's a greater need to relax in silence. And once you recharge your batteries, you will rejuvenate the power to relive these experiences. Remain Positive. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿19/01/20

Of the many wondering words of a wonderful day, Are the interlinked wedges of warmth. Of the many sticky stories stoking our stable stalls, Are some striking strategies of several sets. But as the gossip train sometimes passes, the truth is likely to be confused in these varying contexts of our content. One thing, however, is clear that there's something powerful than our laws. The culture, values, norms, beliefs of people as well as their fears and strives. It is even likely that in our everyday affair, a struggle for the soul of humanity is being waged - between good and evil, hope and despair, trust and distrust, truth and falsehood, fear and love, tribalism and unity, wisdom and what may seem like wisdom. Its possible conflicts are ongoing, within us between dogmas and our sense of reason, between good old principles and the fanciful ones of the present, between what to say and what not to say, between our individual creeds and greed. And this might be going on in each o

Guidelines and rules are good to ensure order and the protection of all especially the vulnerable in our society. Codified and none codified rules are necessary to guide us in our lives as a society and nation. Besides the arrogation of powers and the designation of the processes of appointment, as well as the allocation of filters to check excesses those we entrust with power, there is a need to ensure a caring constitution. Even as we try to ensure that we are not cast down by the mischief of our political servants, we should be mindful of the abuses our servants we elect are likely to perpetuate. It's not enough to celebrate the stability we have enjoyed this while but to do more to lessen the widening inequality among the people. There is even an urgent need to even rethink the architecture of our Constitution to secure the environment from further destruction. We need to even imbue a certain amount of innovative thinking to make our Constitution more caring and sustainab

There are uncanny happening that jolts us. They usually come in many shades and times. Sometimes they are unpredictable and unfunny. These occurrences come disrespectfully despite our beautiful intentions and plans. These surprises come when we least expect them to, And yet it's all part of life's mystery. Many questions may flood our thoughts, With a painful stain in our thoughts. Sometimes, nothing makes sense to us again. However, in the heaviness of our hearts, or in the tears of our fears, let's remember that sadness is but a wall between two gardens. In these tributes with heavy tearful clouds, let our hopes be strong. When sorrow robs us of the delight, let's be consoled of tomorrow's sunshine. When our teardrops are near, let's remember to speak to our Maker to dry our tears. Take care and be courageous during this time. And always remember that life is a gift. Take care and remain optimistic. Greetings to you. ©KYB ✍🏿6/01/20

An aridness caressed the skies again, Humming the traditional tunes of entries. It is a testament of another harmattan, Testing the erring contours of our comfort. The buzz retails winds of frigid snubs of vanity, That queries resolve of a progressive people, In a certain love, regarding the people of seasons. The undercurrent ambiance heavily provokes Dutiful memories of the elements in phases. The banquet of nostalgic alliances still tickles memories of our presence in someone's life. So take care during the disciplines of this harmattan banquet. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿3/01/20

For most kids, childhood is a timeless moment of happiness. Many revelers also share this exciting spirit. Sometimes, it is the present that matters. Therefore, in spite of the beautiful memories, we still treasure from yesterday, We have to readily avail ourselves of the wailing opportunities and blessings breathing in our doorways. While praying for the best things to fall in place, Let's live the newness in this beginnings, With compassion and conviction to excel. Let's receive with delight the invitation to do more for our humanity. Let's embrace the freshness of this new decade to be good and to encourage each other. May abundance and peace be your portion. May we continue to hold hands and work together. May we be strengthened enough to manage and handle the challenges that may come our way. And may the Lord look kindly on us and water our good intentions and deeds to succeed. Kindly accept the choicest of blessings in this New Year and in this Decade o
