The Past does not have the power to determine our Future.

With the passage of time, life is duty bound in teaching us various lessons. Some, we learn through happiness, sadness and pain but eventually the purpose was to armour us with coping skills and what I call- "Investable Power". One may question my reasoning throughout this article; I'll encourage you to personalise it. As difficult as it may be to admit, we all struggle with something and it must have happened in the past.

It's what you don't know, can hurt you. Part II

Bouncing off of my last article, I found it necessary to go a bit deeper into the hygiene pool. I am very aware that this type of enlightenment may offend some but what's most important is the drive to create better hygiene practices. This time around, I wish to share a few tip-bits, that are capable of altering the way we see and treat ourselves. Good hygiene isn't just our shower practices and bathroom duties but also what we do with our garments; particularly under garments. I understand that my readership spans to different parts of the world but when it comes to undergarments, the rules are simple. In the case of women, we share a love for the cutest panties and eye- catching bras; however, the deal breaker is to have them on, and not smell the best. Understand this ladies, if you wear a bra once or at the most twice, it's dirty! It isn't wise to wash your bras with regular laundry because breasts are delicate and some laundry detergents and fabric softeners...

It's what you don't know, can hurt you.

We usually hear the saying, "Knowledge is power" and we think that it's so profound but the reality is; knowing some thing is of no use, if we choose not to apply it to our everyday lives. The case of ignorance in the area in which I'm about to write, is inexcusable for adults who should be self aware and thriving to improve. However, you're going to learn something new today! Those are the words of a dear friend. I understand that in formative years, parents may fail to teach children some things. Whether the reason is for lack of knowledge themselves or choosing to neglect to pass on the information regarding practicing good hygiene but when one becomes an adult, one is responsible for oneself. Now, I know that we all know about soap and water, showering twice daily and applying the essential deodorant and fragrance there after but is that all there is to smelling good? There is a sense that we were all born with that very few people lack; it...

Keeping up Appearances and then some.

Where I come from, there's a saying that says, "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger". Sad enough, that saying does not apply to all aspects of life, especially relationships. Just like food, people can be toxic and when that begins to happen, it shows. Even worse, when it causes you to lose interest in being your best self, it's a sign that confidence no longer exist and despair has taken over. After reading this article, it's my hope that our eyes will depict the people that no longer serve us and even further, challenge us in being our best selves. As an individual who've seen it vital to impact the lives of others positively, I've grown with the perspective of rising beyond my social environment. I've made such a statement to bring out two points: (i) Not everyone you converse with on a regular is your friend. (ii) It pays you no benefit to fit into "The Ordinary". I understand that we all will have different...

Shades of Grey of a Single Christian

As a conversationalist, topics of all varieties usually arise among my circles and what's even more striking is that I'm bold enough to tackle the most sensitive issues. However, if you're one who's usually caught on the side of naivety, this article is definitely too much for you. In the value of opinion, I hope the can of worms I'm about to open, will become the topic of conversation in churches around the world and most of all, the paradigm shift for Christians. With that being said, let me share the conversation I had in one night with a group of friends who requested that I tackle the issue of sex before marriage and what the single/ dating Christians are expected to do. I'd be forthright in saying that I am not a believer of religion so the term Christian to me, is a demonstration of Christ like qualities, the new testament lifestyle with an understanding of our purpose. The conversation was stirred by a friend acknowledging just how much the...

Own Your Worth.

Life is no fairy-tale and those who believe that it is, are a tad bit delusional. I've grown and witnessed quite a few mishaps and broken souls but what stood out to me more, is that they all had something in common. Each event happened because a choice was made. Whether good or bad, some of our choices can hinder us from our true destiny or steer us in the right direction of who we really want to be. Harsh way to begin this article but I intend on being honest with all my readers.  It is my belief that a parent will raise a child and inject into that being whatever is right or wrong in their opinion and most of all, place their expectation on that life, for their desired outcome but, what's even greater, is that there comes a time when an individual chooses the person that they want to be. Simple enough right? For many, I wish it were so. I won't go down the religious path because this goes way beyond that. However, I will say that a stifled individual is a hurt indiv...

Everything you want is on the the other side of Fear...

As unconventional as the title of this article may seem, it's true to the depths of which many of us have  never uncovered. One may ask, "How can my fear of snakes or heights, lead me to what I want?" That's a funny way of looking at it but I wish to go deeper into the fears that make our emotions quake and cause us to question our very own inhibitions and effectiveness. If I were to put it lightly, fear of snakes, heights and what ever else gives us goose bumps, are trivial and recovered by the mare switch of thought and direction.
