A quote by Maya Angelou

Love penetrates every barrier, fall in genuine love to experience it.

“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves”

Don’t kiss while driving, it’s dangerous especially while concentrating so much on the kiss.

Frail Not Hail Nation

July 18, 2016 eddaz 6 Comments

Peace derailed

from layer to layer

beneath the corrupt hawk lies

living flamboyantly

like there’s no tomorrow.

Laws bastardized

injustice to the poor

the pretentious snake looking for prey

the strong are growing frail

insecurity reigning, smiles fading.

Follow not

the ways of the careless jug head

stand firm, wail until you are heard.

write, until the books are full

knock, until the doors are open.

Peace be recovered

Lawlessness redefined

Follow the path to a great nation.

The post is in response to the daily prompt. Frail.

Hi everyone, In regards to the three day quote challenge put forward by my friend Miraclegirlblog. Here comes the quote for Day 2 quote challenge.

A Quote by William Shakespeare

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts that you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow”

Good friends are hard to come by, if you have one as described by William Shakespeare- never let him or her leave, they are rare gems. They stand by you through thick and thin. If you don’t have one keep searching, don’t surround yourself with bad people all in the name of having a friend, it’s sure better to have none than having one bad friend.

A second Quote by Mark Twain

“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything”

Tell the truth and be set free, telling lies gives one headache because you will have to keep trying to remember what you told the last time, at the end of it all you tell people different people different tales of same story just because you couldn’t remember what you told them previously.

A Third Quote by Mother Teresa

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love”

Doing great things is everyone’s desire, to be well known and be able to make big impart on our community or generation, but it’s not for all, some can do small things with great love which will live marks of great love behind. Spread the love!

I would like to nominate:

Hi everyone, I was nominated for the three days Quote challenge by Miraclegirlblog. Kindly check out her blog because it rocks. Thank you Miraclegirl.

The first quote for day 1 goes thus:

A Quote by Nelson Mandela

There’s no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

We all have our goals and desires, who doesn’t? Not me anyways.Strive hard, don’t stop, keep moving, you will always meet tough heartbreaking challenges along the way, but never give up, you will get there.

A second Quote by Will Smith

Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your hate will consume you too.

There are lots of people out there with challenges, you never know whats up in their head or what they are passing through at that moment, whatever they do, never take it personal, brush it off, and move on. Remember you are on a journey and no one is allowed to bring you down.

Stop Running From Your Shadow

July 16, 2016 eddaz 8 Comments

In response to this week’s discover challenge – I would like to share with others a piece of advice I received from someone back in high school.

“Stop running from your shadow”. She called me alone to say just that short sentence to me which I pondered on for a pretty long time without actually accepting the truth behind it.

Back in high school I was someone I would say was POPULAR without a particular reason, I just didn’t get it, I never understood the logic behind my popularity. I was a very simple, level headed lady in school, I loved to be alone but unfortunately for me people loved me, they wanted to be friends with me, they wanted me to lead them, guess what I hated all these with a passion 😏, I felt it was too much of a burden for me to carry, all I wanted was my peace, just a few friends, study and go home to my best friend (Television).

It was that way for me all through my years of studying, and until I got my first job, it was still staring right into my face, people wanted to be like me, listen to me, do as I do, seriously I never understood it. Until I met someone else again who told me to just be myself and face my fears. I sat myself down to review the path of life I had lived and was living, I realized that I had been lucky, I would have lost a lot due to my insecurity and shadow fear 😊😊

Now I can face my fears, I can face responsibilities, I realized I didn’t need to be best of friends with all these people but to be attentive to their feelings, now I talk to them, I listen, I don’t mind if they wish to do as I do, I love making people smile. My colleagues love to dress the way I dress, up to my hairstyle, and really I have more confidence now, I encourage them, I give them tips on dating and fashion, I have also learnt not to take things personally due to my emotions. The benefit of all this is that it has opened doors of opportunities for me. My accepting my shadow has promoted me to an upstanding individual. I’m blessed that it wasn’t too late for me to come to terms with it.

My piece of advice based on my pervious experience is to never run from your shadow.
