Why try to be someone you are not?!

 "If you cannot fully be yourself without the contemplation of your race and what people think, you are shortchanging yourself.  And you are missing out on something that could be absolutely beautiful and worthwhile." - Robor. M

The Positive thinking movement is a scam

  Failures are not meant to be ignored or erased, they are to be acknowledged. This sets you apart from the rest.     Acknowledging and overcoming not ignoring and achieving. We all at some point get to a place of disappointment and instead of avoiding the place by pretending it never happened or thinking happy thoughts, we should face it head-on and give it its rightful place.  I was listening to a song by D'Amelio which ironically is titled Be happy but is about being comfortable and okay in your sadness.      The Chorus goes, " sometimes I don't want to be happy, don't hold it against me. If I'm down just leave me and let me be sad.  Sometimes I just want to be lonely. Don't need you to hold me. If I'm low you don't need to care. Just let me be sad. What's the matter with that ." What's the matter with sadness? As LL Martin once said, " negative emotions like pain and hurt can actually be constructive. Motivating us to make importan...

The Economics of Success and The Next Step

I think before we could walk, talk, or think for ourselves, we were introduced to the economics of success and the next step.  Before we could stand, walk, and jump, we first had to learn how to crawl.  Before we could say full sentences, we first had to utter words that only made sense to babies but were absolute gibberish in the world of adults.   There were certain steps we had to take from babyhood to adulthood to be deemed successful in society and in life.

If it were that simple, there would be no poverty, and third world countries would not e...

Living in Your Prayer

The reason why we don't get answers is that we don't live in our prayers, we live outside of them. It was at work that I heard a colleague say that Nigerians are the most prayerful people in the world, yet the country hasn't changed and we are still suffering. This made me ponder… So I asked God whether it was because we were not praying according to His will but that was not it. It is because of how we live.  We live outside our prayers. The same way we behave and speak in prayer is the same way we should be when we aren’t praying.  You see,  Nigerians may be asking for God to make Nigeria great, but the minute they are done praying, and something bad happens in the country, they begin to curse the nation and the government and the people in it, forgetting what they prayed for. This leads to answers not coming and miracles canceled because of the negativity spoken daily.  In my blog about “ How to stop damaging your Life ”, I spoke about how we create what we speak,...
