You Don’t Get To See Everything

9 Comments

I had a conversation with a woman in her late seventies, we got deep into it and she told me she has spent so many years on this earth travelling and doing all sorts, yet she hasn’t seen it all, then she added to it by saying ‘You don’t get to see everything no matter where you are.’

Her words reminded me of how naïve we can be when we say we’ve seen it all, if only we could control our thoughts as well as actions.

No matter how many thousand miles we’ve travelled

Regardless of where we have been and what we’ve seen

It doesn’t matter how wise or intelligent we are

It makes no difference if we are young or old

We don’t get to see everything in this world.

Giving You The Best That I Got

8 Comments

I watched #BETAwards last night and I was impressed at  how Jamie Foxx put together some of Anita Baker’s songs. One of the lyrics he emphasized on was ‘giving you the best that I got’ and the question I want to ask is are you giving the best that you got in whatever situation you’ve found yourself?

Giving your best all that you got realistically doesn’t have to do with just a person but also situations surrounding you that need great attention. For instance, you have an exam to write and you got to make good grades otherwise you will be a step backwards from your objective, in that case you got to give it the best that you got. Another case where you need to feed your family, provide shelter, put clothes on your back, what must you do? You got to give it the best that you got…meaning ‘increase your hustle.’

You want your partner to devote his or her heart to you, then you got to give that relationship the best that you got. You’ve got to be strong in life, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I cry out

I’m dried out

I’m getting out

Can’t go on no more…

Hey stop!!!

You got to give it the best that you got.

What Are Your Monday Expectations

6 Comments

I learned that the secret to happiness in life is low expectations, luckily for me, I realized this important thing at a young age, and this has stayed with me all through the years. I have faith in God, I believe in myself, but I never expect too much from a situation, people or objects which has led me to appreciate them more.

Nevertheless, I make plans, sometimes they work out as planned and other times, they turn out the other way. Monday has always been the same for me like other days except for Saturday and Sunday. Henceforth I need a plan for Mondays because I’ve realized I always have too much to deal with on that day. Set of rules for me only, goes thus:

-Wake up early with positivity

-Give thanks to God

-walk or run

-Set the target

-Set reminders

-Measure achievements at the end of the day.

This is actually a summarized form of Monday activity for myself.  Remember it’s Monday, stay motivated, talk to someone, believe in yourself!

The Perfect Saturday

6 Comments

Last night I watched a movie titled “300” which I believe almost everyone has seen already, but if you haven’t watched it yet, then it’s never too late to do just that. It was originally released in 2007.

In the movie, Sparta’s King Leonidas (Gerald Butler) and his warriors fought to their death against King Xerxes Persian army, actually what I found so extraordinary about the movie was the strength and courage the 300 radiated. The first time I watched the movie, I instantly developed a crush on the main actor…ouch…the thought alone of his deep voice back then caused rhythms in my brain.

This outstanding, emotional movie, therefore, inspired a thought in me on how to spend a perfect Saturday, hence, I have to consider the fact that I’m going to be spending a greater part of the day alone but definitely doing what I love most…watching movies…yay! with a cup of Ice Cream to keep the movie effect flowing in the right direction.

So have yourself a Beautiful Saturday. Love you all.

My Magical Powers

3 Comments

It happened when I least expected, knowing when I was fourteen years of age that there was something strange about me, initially, it felt erotic, who would think floating in the air could feel that way.

I can see beyond, far and wide, above the earth, in the air, I feel things people dare not, I see things people never will, call me crazy…I call myself weird. It happens only in the dead of the night. When it starts, everyone close to my room, or inside my room instantly fall deeply asleep never to witness the phenomenon. And they wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and stronger than usual.

I heal anyone that sleeps in the same house as me so along as I float in the air, consider yourself lucky if you happen to spend the night in the same place I do. No one knows but me and me. My magical powers usually live me drained in the morning, my skin looking colorless seeking for nourishment, momentarily I would stumble out of bed to the lake outside my home into the cold water to bath and quench my thirst for the evangelistic reawakening of my body and soul.

My magical powers, my greatest treasure…
