Faith It Takes!

In this journey of life, I have gone through a wide range of experiences, situations and circumstances. Faith got me through and is still getting me through. Faith takes every single step with me and as my knees feel weak going through, faith is always ready to strengthen and energize me. Here I stand, still looking at this journey of life with miles yet to go. Now I smile at faith! How close and faithful a companion you have been. Now, am so ready to forge ahead. Nothing except me can push me on the side path of this course. Yet that is never an option. Are you not the one who moves mountains (Faith that moves mountains)? Sure there will be mountains on this path I walk. We stick together, we take every step together and we hold hands while walking happily on this journey of life.  SHU MANKA'A MERCY ULOMACHI IGBOKWE.

Happy Father’s Day!

To many, the mention of the word father, calls to mind responsibilities, the call to man up and leadership. Who says fathers don’t love, care and are supportive? Of course, fatherhood bears with it spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical implications. The responsibilities of fatherhood should by no means sideline the bond of fatherly love, care and support that graces the hood of fatherhood. The pride of fatherhood prides itself in the complete wellbeing of those who depend on the pure love, care and support of a fatherly figure.

Dear Woman.

Being a woman is such a great blessing immeasurable. Embrace the Feminine grace imbibed within and delight in the beautiful spirit of life within. Sure you know that spirit is capable of igniting great light to your community and the world at large.

It’s true you have been treated less than what you truly deserve in the past and maybe even now. For there are still some parts in the world where women are still oppressed and ill treated? Yet, one thing stands, believe it or not, there are those who are scared of the power of a woman. Perhaps they should! She has the ability to lure a man into even disobeying his creator (secret influence). What if this ability is channeled towards a great and positive course? That is another story all together.

Woman, you are the crown of creation. Beautiful and loving are you. Deserving of love and affection as well. You are never a lesser being like you have been treated. You are just enough. A precious rose you are and the most stunning of all God’s creations. You are worth more than rubies, gold, numbers on scares, hair products, classic clothes, gracious shoes, more than price tags, you’re is immeasurable.

In the sight of your father, you are loved and worth dying for. So, never accept anything less for you are strong, powerful and capable of living up to your worth. Inside of you is a woman with great power and a world changing capability and it is your responsibility to find that woman and set if free if anyone, be it society, culture, upbringing etc tries to tell you otherwise, please, here is what you say, “I am a great woman powered by grace. Am strong, brave, courageous and well gifted, that is what I am. Don’t waste your time trying to make me feel or look less. For am simply unstoppable. Get out of my way because am on motion. I am a movement and am on the move. You can’t stop me. Try stopping me and you will get run over”.

Do tell yourself, that you wouldn’t allow anyone write you off for whatever reasons. Promise yourself that you wouldn’t allow anyone accuse you at the slightest opportunity without appropriate reasons. Bear in mind that like anyone else, you can do anything you put your mind to. A midst everything, one thing stand, you are simply loved, valued, worthy and powered with feminine grace. Embrace it without any fears or doubts.

 

A Square Peg In A Round Hole.

When you find yourself in a world with all sorts of images and several kinds of influences constantly trying to forge something out of you, being yourself becomes a challenge. There are many facts and influences trying to pattern people into something other than themselves. No one lives another man’s life. People are always shown or told what an ideal person should be and look like. This comes in many different forms. It could be through the media: Television, Magazines, and Internet. We are shown what the “sexiest woman” or the “sexiest man” alive looks like yet no one knows the parameters which were employed in order to ascribe such a title. Well, that may not really be a problem in itself. What is even more vital is that, people behold these images (especially young people) and before long, they start chasing shadows and trying so hard to be someone else or fit into some unknown parameters so as to measure up or get some vane satisfaction from a sense of fake worth. This could also result to a faulty thinking which could leave someone feeling that they may be lesser, unfortunate or do not possess special qualities like those who may appear great and appealing to them. This is so not true! We are all valuable, unique and gifted in many different ways. It’s true we may have different backgrounds, situations, Destinies etc but then anyone can be successful and be the best that they can be if they take the right path.

In another light, being inspired, motivated or looking up to a role model doesn’t translate to wanting to be someone else order than you. It’s ok to aspire to be like another great person and not them. Wanting to be like someone is different from wanting or wishing you were that person. That could result to someone undermining their worth and value and thinking that, another is more unique, valued or gifted. The fact that one person isn’t gifted in the same way like another doesn’t make them any lesser of a human. We are all gifted uniquely.

Some hallow in low self-esteem, self-pity and sometimes uphold crazy fancies of being someone else order than them for whatever reasons. And it’s just a pity because that is a really dysfunctional place to be in and when you find yourself in such a place, it becomes difficult for you to make any reasonable progress with your life. It’s indeed, a place where no one should stay in.

Every human being has great valued. Your life is as valuable as mine so, don’t get things twisted. The accomplishments, fame, success etc someone as attained doesn’t make them anymore valuable than another. It doesn’t matter is you are the “Most Successful man alive” and if you are we applaud you for that but that doesn’t make you an upgraded human being value wise.

 

One of the best things that can happen to you is for you to embrace yourself and your uniqueness as a person. What could be more fulfilling than living your own life? The life path of the “The richest Man Alive” may not be as smooth and easy as you think. Common, you are admiring the house just from the outside; you haven’t yet gone inside to find out what that house is truly like. Being who you were made to be will be the best you can ever be.

Believe It Or Not!

Has anyone told you…

What if you were told that you are on a mission? Perhaps, the obvious question is “what mission”? You were called to address some of the issues of your time. Believe it or not you are pregnant with great possibilities. Equipped with strengths and weaknesses, growth must come knocking.

Muster faith to face a world such as this. Seek to contribute to the advancement of things in your life, your family, your community, your continent and the world at large. It is never an easy task so when challenged or when adversity come visiting, met it with a harder will. There is so much to be done, to give and to share. Set out boldly to do great things. There is no need for you to be timid to venture or hold on to too much caution. As anyone ever told you that you are blessed?

More Than Meet The Eyes!

WHAT IS A WOMAN CONSTITUTED OF AND WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL WOMAN? 

                       

Fair to look upon,

Fascination of the rising sun,

Charms rest on this being,

Men in amazement behold,

The content of such being,

Hardly judged by such content,

Yet, she is more than a fair dame,

Rich is the content within,

See beyond what eyes meet,

See beyond the curves,

See beyond such fairness,

See the greatness within,

Her being is not what is offered,

At the table, more is placed,

More that comes with profit,

More that makes a difference,

Sure fairness is vain,

Sure charms do flirt,

There is just more,

More than meet the eyes.

True Lie.

 Whispers to a child in eagerness,

Each word echoed in effectiveness,

Eager ears pick every word inclined,

 Awake to distractions, ready to decline,

Focused near entirety of my being,

Hope it trek in freedom it can bring,

In the midst of all, helpless,

With trust employed, hope not hopeless,

 Silently giving hit to words altered

 Words to heart, I ponder,                                       

 In amusement wandered I,

 Blind to falsehood cautiously,                                                                                                                    
                                                    Lied To From The Very Start!

Aside stands the undeceived,                                    

Witness to forbidden venture,

Witness with no purpose in court,

If not, there was a heart motive.

In a moment my being happily sad,

There is new awareness.

Beguiled in deception through subtlety,

 All said and done! It was a true lie!
