Current Hardships in the World

Leave a comment

My heart burns.
Beaming light, turning grey.
Into ashes, I wonder if there’s hope.
I yearn for that light,
the beauty once revealed.

In case you haven’t noticed, the world is experiencing some of its toughest challenges and difficulties. From the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change to increasing inequality and social injustice, the world is experiencing hardship on many fronts. That’s not all my friends. There have been other challenges, such as technological Change and Digital Divide, Political and Geopolitical Issues, and the one that bothers me more is increased job insecurity and uncertainty.

In times of hardship
and difficulties abound
Let us encourage one another
and stand strong and proud.

Even in darkness
we can share a light
The world may be clouded
but our hearts can still shine bright.

I’m starting to wonder what the future holds for us. Which one disturbs you more, and guess what? We are survivors, and we have to keep moving. God hasn’t given up on us, so why should we give up on anything we believe in? Quite frankly, sometimes, I wake up with this ugly feeling of uncertainty in my heart. I ask myself if the world is ending gradually, and If that’s the case, it will end with me standing strong.

Let us lift each other up
and lend a helping hand
Reminding one another
that we can stand together as a band

And when the sun rises again
and spring’s sweet flowers bloom
Let us greet the new day
with joy and love anew.

Improving Self-Confidence by conquering negative self-talk

Leave a comment

Negative self-talk is the inner voice that uplifts us or brings us down. Unfortunately, many of us have gotten into this habit of talking badly about ourselves, our abilities, our accomplishments, or even our appearance. Negative self-talk can have a significant impact on our overall well-being. It can leave us feeling unworthy, anxious, incompetent, or guilty. Understanding the impact negative self-talk can have on us will help us to take action and break the cycle. Once we have understood the impact of negative self-talk, we can identify it, pay attention to our thoughts and words, and look out for overly critical or self-deprecating statements.

Once we have conquered negative self-talk, we will start to see a more positive and confident mindset. These can lead to an overall improvement in our self-confidence, self-worth, and overall well-being. We will start thinking more positively about ourselves, situations, challenges, and obstacles we encounter. It can help us to approach challenges with a more positive attitude and take action more confidently. As a result, we can start to see improvement in our relationships, career, and personal growth, and overall have a more positive and fulfilling existence.

Moments with the Moon

Leave a comment

I see the moon on a clear, starlit night

I’m in awe of the moon’s beauty and its mighty power

I wish it would shine forever so that we could always see it

But I know that the moon cannot shine forever, so I cherish the time we have together

I thank the moon for its brightness and beauty, and I will never forget the sight of it shining in the night sky

Demons in my head

1 Comment

They battled in my head, making me numb to the world. They lived inside of me and raged all weeks and months.

I cried out to stop, but they laughed and partied without any remorse. The demons in my head devoured me slowly all day.

The turmoil kept going on for weeks, and they took over every part of my being. I summoned my inner spirits for strength.

I asked why they weren’t fighting back to take over their position. They told me that battles already won no longer need to be fought.

Finally, there is a breath of fresh air coming over my soul.

They also told me to stay silent to cleanse my heart of the demons. Then the wonders of the light will consume the darkness that built a home in my body.

New Year, New Tidings

16 Comments

It’s a new year already and I wish everyone a happy and pleasant one filled with joy and laughter. It’s been a while I shared any thoughts on my blog but good to be back,  unfortunately I won’t be around for most of the time on my blog but would be out there getting real busy with what the world has also blessed me with aside from my blogging.

In as much as I would love to be here everyday, I would have to share my time with other activities that need a lot of my attention as well, so I would be writing  my thoughts down and sharing them biweekly or more until  It’s time for full time blogging again. Meanwhile I would endeavour to read new posts as much as I can even if I can’t make comments on them, which I can’t help doing at times and I’m sure I would do during my busy schedule.

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right – Oprah Winfrey

Love you all💝💟❤
