Hey there!

Here's another Tuesday for me to gist you all about my daily Proverbs group!

So, on Sunday at our weekly review, we had such an interesting and interactive session. Before now, these sessions were so boring that I resolved to stop them altogether because barely anyone participated.

This session started the usual boring way, so much so that the person anchoring it reached out to me, saying he wasn’t getting the response he needed. Trust me, I was tempted to tell him to just end it, but I kicked against it.

I have a knack for upholding cultures, so I told him my favorite axiom, "It’s not about what you like or want but what’s necessary." The weekly sessions were necessary, so whether we felt like it or not, we had to hold them.

Long story short, more people eventually participated, shared their opinions and tips, and though we digressed a little, it turned out to be totally fun. This whole ordeal showed me how amazing just showing up can be. If we had given up because of low response, we would have missed out on seeing consistency pay off. Whatever you do, trust that showing up consistently will someday produce results.

Dearest reader, there is wisdom in perseverance that often goes unnoticed until the results start showing. Proverbs 24:10 says, "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small." Sometimes, the things we commit to may feel pointless at first, but faithfulness in small matters leads to great rewards.

 So, keep showing up, even when it seems like no one is watching. One day, your consistency will speak for itself.

Till next time, keep pushing forward!

"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 ...
