WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

The world is on it knees and everyone is affected. The rising cases and the tally of casualties of this novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is yet to end.  The fatigue that comes with the measures is quite understandable but are we now safer to move about as if all is well? The exceeding option of keeping our hopes alive is necessary, since it incites the possibility for action. However, the prevailing denial and despair, and certain political activities, leads to a subtle inclination of indolence that has dangerously deaden the sense of alertness among certain quarters of the public.  Inasmuch as much there's need to remain calm and lesson our fears, we need not let down our guard with a false sense of immunity to COVID-19. This urgent plea is therefore a reminder to ourselves of the need to keep safe and follow the safety protocols. As valuable citizens, we still have the grace to act right by stopping the spread, while the sun still glows, today. So kindly take care of your

There is a lot of space in our environment that permits some of our outdoor engagements. As kids, we played in these open spaces and had loads of fun, while exploring this infant freedom. There were no walls around the house in our community then, and one could easily run to drink water from these houses when we're thirsty or run for cover when we felt threatened on those playgrounds.  The closest barriers we saw then were flower hedges and bamboo or wire mesh fences around people's backyard farms or gardens. There was nothing like these huge concrete walls we now have.  We have erected more walls around ourselves, which has somehow caged us from really exploring our surroundings. It is as if our enlightenment in this age is equated with the sophistication of these barricades around our houses. Unfortunately, these huge concrete walls around us only reinforce our attempt to be individualistic.  And the saddest aspect is that we are consciously or unconsciously trapp

Never forget your worth. Never belittle your value. Never underestimate yourself. Remember whoever was there for you. Remember whoever blesses you with life. Remember the loyal souls who pray for you and are willing to sacrifice for you. However busy you may be today; However content or discontent you may feel this hour; However successful or progressive you may be;  However, challenging your situations may be; However terrible or disappointed you may feel; Whatever interesting thoughts you might be entertaining right now, remember that your life is a gift and the one who gave you this gift still loves and cares for you.    Remember life is transient, Remember we have a responsibility to Love, Care and Serve one another.  I still cherish & value you. And I wish you well. Kindly, stay safe. ©KYB ✍🏿07/07/2020

It is an uneasy time, with unpredictable tides. We are feeling the effects of the adjustments to safely navigate these waters. We might have heard of the casualties by now and felt the burden on our economy.  But kindly make healthy changes to your life by eating healthier, spending quality time with the family and calmly reflecting on how we can live through these moments.   Indeed, in this era of uncertainty, our weapon of defence includes standing firm in hope and prayer, and remaining calm, while taking greater responsibility for our health. Being healthy and calm is the key to living through these tides. Stay Strong. Stay Safe Greetings. ©KYB ✍🏿03/07/2020   

It's been six months when a certain infectious disease(COVID-19) surprised humanity, with 10 million cases and over 500, 000 deaths.  Indeed, we least expected this pandemic six months ago, and our lives – would be thrown into turmoil by this new virus. This plague has brought out the best and the worst of our humanity. In all this, we have seen heartwarming acts of resilience, innovative ideas, kindness and kindness. We have also seen the effects on our sixty-year-old Republic. But beyond the excuses we make for the deficit in our growth, how can we account for the six decades of our self-determination; self-governance; and development? Can we say we have arrived? Can we say we have managed and governed ourselves satisfactorily?  Can we say we have exceeded our expectation as a sovereign state and inspiring leadership in Afrika? Can we say we're really in charge of our collective destiny? Certainly, we still have numerous challenges and problems on our hands in the

Lift up your mood and let optimism rule your life. Lift up your soul by reminding yourself of why you started in the first place.  Kindly remember everyone battling drug addiction and anyone form of addiction in life. Let's remember those going through rehabilitation. Let's not forget them in these trying moments. With your consistent care, we can support them to reform and improve. By getting inspired to take action we can individually be the candlelights that illumine their lives or be the mirrors that reflect the light of hope in the lives to heal. May you be remembered in your silent battles. May God bless your efforts to improve. Greetings to you. ©KYB ✍🏿26/06/2020

Power and positions are transient, The same way your energy. Days and weeks are ephemeral, Just like the fleeting heavy clouds. As the music of the rains last for a while, Just like the seasons, may we live these Moments to the fullest. So if you're blessed with the gift of life, If you are you are buoyed by health, If you are gifted with foresight and energy,  Kindly make it a point to bless humanity. Make the effort to do something for others. Let's be fair to cultivate the finesse, To mark our presence here. It's only fair to recognise The transience in these transitions, And keep a sane balance in all our dealings. We need the discipline to live and navigate  Through the swift moments. May you be blessed with the gift of understanding.  Please be good and stay safe.  Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿23/06/20
