EMBRACE THE PAST.





"When in doubt, go back to the beginning", O.

I spent most of my day, reading a novel, titled, "Nairobi Heat". I was so buried inside this novel that it felt as though I was truly in Nairobi. 

One of the many lessons from this book that stood out for me is that, if you know someone's history( their truth, their past, or their roots), you will easily bring them down. 

To an extent, the past defines you as it sets the pace of how your today plays out. In trying to uncover the secrets of a murder, a detective has to travel to the suspect's past( his beginning). Of course, it was bloody, yet it did unveil everything and connected the dots. 

When you flop and get to a dead end, the ideal thing to do is to go to the beginning. Visit the origin, the roots, and the core of the matter.

There's this thing my coach does, that I never really understood up till now, whenever anyone defaults or goes prodigal, even when the person finds his/her way back, the person will start from the very beginning, regardless of how far the person has been before, he will become the least. 

Dearest reader, are you stuck at some point in your life? Pay a visit to your past and reconcile with who you were. It will unlock so much for you, and help ease your doubt. At the end of the day, there will be loopholes(doubt) if you don't embrace the past( Your beginning/roots).

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
