An Attitude of Contentment and Gratitude is way to go!

-

There are things we take for granted that we should rather be grateful for on a daily.


Freedom, good health, sound mind et al. Only people who have lost these benefits understand that being alive and healthy and having the ability to do things, think and take decisions for yourself is a privilege.

There are countless number of people in prisons, hospitals and terrible situations that they never planned or ever imagined that they'd be in but life happened.

They are not where they are because of what they did or didn't do and we are not better by not being in "their" situation.

Tables can shake, break or turn at anytime to whichever direction and it's not our choice to make. We can loose control of the things we hold so strong. It rains on both the rich & poor, the weak & strong, young & old. It rains everywhere!

Life will happen when it will...

The understanding that "this is life" and in life anything can happen regardless of who we are and we cannot question God because we deserve nothing yet he has given us all. So, everyday we spend on planet earth is a day to be thankful.

God does not change and does not need to do anything new for us to overcome and succeed.

In this life, an attitude of #Contentment & #Gratitude is way to go but I find that it is in showing kindness, giving help and loving others that we ourselves enjoy living.

#HappySunday

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g

When Your Spouse Turns into Your Flatmate: What Next?

  Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where one

Navigating the Ups and Downs of Life

  Life, with all its twists and turns, often feels like a rollercoaster ride. Just when we think we have it all figured out, it throws us a curveball or takes us on an unexpected loop.  From thrilling highs to challenging lows, navigating life's ups and downs is a journey filled with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden job loss, a health scare, or a broken relationship, curveballs can leave us feeling confused and uncertain about the future.  However, it is during these moments of adversity that we might discover our inner strength and resilience. Instead of resisting change, embracing the curveballs allows us to adapt and evolve. It teaches us to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty of life. While it may be uncomfortable at first, facing challenges head-on ultimately leads to personal growth and self-discovery. Just as life has its curveballs, it also has its floating times—those
