credit    Habits are definitely part of our day to day lives, they are things or traits that we pick up oftentimes unknowingly be it good or bad habits. I suck at intros at times, so, I ’ d dive into the 4 healthy habits I have to share with y ’ all today: Gratitude : I doubt it can ever be over-flogged how important gratitude is, it sure feels like an essential in the survival kit of life on planet earth. However, an entitlement mentality (that seems to be gaining more traction nowadays) can often get in the way of one feeling the need to be grateful under all circumstances. Notwithstanding, gratitude is a real healthy habit to cultivate, finding reasons to be grateful no matter how little on a daily basis is definitely needed to add meaning to one ’ s day. credit Exercise : if I were to make a list of 100 things I suck at, no doubt, exercising (conscious workout) would have one of the top spots on that list. That aside, exercising keeps the whole bo...

Hey guys!! *peeps in* Sorry I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks now, I just couldn't make it here (for reasons I can't quite place my index finger on). I know this isn't what I intended or said to do but...*face palms*. The year is fast winding up and it is moments like this that people find themselves counting their blessings and reminiscing on their flop and things they possibly could have done better. Based on this, I'd be addressing failure or failing, whichever you choose. source    Experiencing failure (failing) and seeing one's self as a failure are two entirely different things that some may find quite hard to draw a line between. Failure a majority of time precedes unbelievable success, remember the failures Thomas Edison encountered before the invention of the electric bulb? Had it been that dear ol' Thomas downed his tools upon his 50th failure, he most definitely won't have the credit that we accord to him following that invention.  ...

   So, I'm on break like i mentioned in an earlier post. Being on break translates to more time on my hands and more time in turn means more room to fit books into my life. Plans to get my more preferred paperback novels fell through and, i was left look for a book to take me through some part of the break, the format regardless. After it all, i found the above mentioned book--stumbled upon won't be the right word. I really didn't know what to expect when getting the book but then, my past experience with JAMES PATTERSON wasn't that bad a one. So, i was willing to give it a shot. OVERVIEW EXPELLED, as probably inferred from the title is about a couple of high schoolers who got dismissed from the a certain high school (Arlington) in pinewood city-- a relatively small town. The lead character (narrator) is Theo Foster, a nerdy kid, who serves as the editor for the school's mag and runs a secret but not so secret twitter account, dispersing school news, gists an...

   Howdy folks, how have you been, wherever you may be? Trust you've been well and making life worth living. I'd be talking about organization today. Over the past months, a couple of persons have said on different occasions that my life is "too structured" or "I'm too efficient" (their words, not mine). I feel you may not quite agree with the efficiency aspect as I have been slacking on here, that won't be far from a truth. Anyway, I am more than tempted to believe that my seeming organization is as a result of my upbringing. Growing up, I (we) were more or less trained with time, most things had time allocated to them, even if the time might have been in terms of days and not hour. Growing up also to meet to-do lists (written on sticky notes) stuck where everyone would see them during the holidays--love, mom--, definitely made me grow up to a structured life/ scheduled life.     Enough of the backstory *smiles*, I have thought up some thing...

   I feel like I say this almost every time I come on here, but Oh well!, I loovvee writing. I actually don’t think I could get tired of it except when I'm—unfortunately—stuck in a writer’s block. I started “writing” a year or so into secondary school and though there have been highs and lows, it’s been love a major part of the way all the way. I would be writing about journaling today, sure the post title has given that away already.    I remember my Sis having a diary at some point and I observed that she updated it regularly. I on the other hand used to suck at keeping a diary—I still suck a bit— basically because I don’t like people stumbling upon my stuff forget I have a journal at times. Lol. Years passed, stuff happened along the way and I felt the need to write my random thoughts and life happenings just for records sakes. I then begun keeping journals—“journals” because I write random things in various books and I must confess it can be hard finding snippe...

HELLO-O-O-O!!!! In past weeks (a month plus) that I've been away which I apologize for, quite a number of things have happened and lessons learnt. From learning to cope with temperaments of varying kinds to accepting that there are certain things that are meant to happen no matter how hard I may try to change them, it has been a blog break that revealed these and many more to me. Honestly, aside school work and pressure pushing me into a blog break, I slid into a little blog rot, that moment when I you actually put pen to paper but the ink doesn't flow. Yes, I suffered that too. But as the pressure is being relieved, it feels like I'm getting my buzz back. I have learnt and am still learning to trust regardless the "apparent circumstances". Any-hoo!! Exams are due to finish soon and I'd be back to blogging  and I dare say I'd be around for more than a while--by His Grace-- and hopefully be more diligent with my updates. This is just a post to remind you my...

Hey people!! Been quite a while but I'm here again with my somewhat random thoughts. I believe you'd enjoy this piece as you take time to read through though it's rather short.   Many a times, things happen and within that moment, you wonder why they take that form. You see them as happening to your demerit but indeed they might be acting in your favor.    Events like these occur daily, in every waking moment of ours. But hardly do we recognize them until the counter occurs and then, you realize it all was for your good at the start. It is said, in all things and under every circumstance, give thanks to God. That is to say, when it looks bad, when the going is great, when things are still, when life moves at a speed beyond what you phantomed... In all these, give thanks.    As i often say and have seen play out more often than not, there's always something to be thankful for in all situations, you just have to clean your lenses and train your eyes to id...
