Walk away, don't look back!

Besides holding a newborn baby or getting a load of it's smile, being with someone you love and care about is the most beautiful thing you can experience in your life. The honeymoon period filled with the barrage of pet names, the calls, the texts, the holding of hands, and kissing in public while ignoring stares from people. Being in a relationship is fulfilling and is part of our growth not just as social beings but as individuals. As I have penned down in previous blogs, relationships involve hard work and commitment. It entails putting up with someone else that might have different behaviors, characteristics and habits that may not always align well with yours. It involves placing that person's needs above yours in some instances. In other words, relationships are part-time jobs/probation periods that sometimes lead to full-time jobs/marital life. As beautiful as a relationship can be, sometimes it turns sour and has to end for both parties to lead a happy life. Many couples linger on in a relationship for the wrong reason or because they fail to realize when to leave or end a relationship. Which leads to the question when is the right time to exit a relationship. There are a plethora of factors that are telltale signs that should alert you it's time to leave a relationship. However, I will point out 3 factors that are significant indicators. The indicative factors that should alert you on leaving a relationship are:
1) Dreams/Life goals: When the person you are in a relationship with looks down on/ discredits your dreams or life goals because they think it is not as important as theirs or for other reasons, then it's time to leave that relationship.
2) Respect: Lack of respect in a relationship in any form or manner is definitely a red flag and calls for you leave the relationship.
3) Time: When the person in a relationship with you is nonchalant about making time to spend time with you for no relevant reason(s), you gotta leave. Additionally, if he/she does not intend to make changes or see the reason to make changes to accommodate you in his/ her schedule, then there's no longer a reason to remain in the relationship.

Note: Any relationship that does not make you better in any area of your life, inspire you or motivate you to be greater than you were before entering the relationship is not the right relationship for you. Knowing when to leave the relationship that is not for you leads you faster to the relationship tailored for you.

50/50: The mathematics of marriage?

I spent some time with my mum today. We talked about a lot of things that revolved around me and life in general. The topic of marriage came up and we talked about how marriage and the idea of marriage had evolved over the years. Marriage back in her time and that of her parents or grand parents were based on the very basic things that mattered back then. Men chose to marry women who were polite, had a nice smile or simply just because they came from a good, reputable family. Those were the simpler times. Times when the parameters set for a mate can be argued to have been based on quality over quantity. Nowadays, marriage is a whole different ball game. I believe everyone knows that marriage is a union of two souls to become one. However, some people going into marriage don't understand that it is a not a transactional relationship but one that is meant to collectively pull singular resources together to achieve an expected goal. This is because some women believe that the m...

Christians need to look in the mirror

I was born into a christian home and raised as one. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I remember spending countless hours in churches and various christian assembly. I still am a devout christian and believer and lover of Christ. However, I am not one to say that my faith is without blemish or error as it surely has lots and has become a global joke. Christians have now become sheep led by leaders who do not even understand what being a leader means. Leaders who talk the talk but can't walk the talk. Leaders who go into office to chase after titles, money and fame. Gone are the days when pastors or Christian leaders go into office to make a positive difference in people's lives. Gone are the days people shy away from being a Christian leader because of the difficulty or meekness of office or how they're perceived by in public or even as a result of the little money they make. Nowadays pastors consider themselves rockstars prophesying fa...

It's not just all about you

The season of Christmas is upon us. It has crept upon us faster than we had expected. It's December and my favorite month of the year not because of the season that it brings, but because this month embodies the happiest moments of my childhood. It taught me the real meaning of family, happiness, togetherness and great outpour of charity, which i s originally refer red to as agap ē l ove. As you know, Love is a n affection of benevolence towards another with no expecta tion of reciprocity and absence of selfish gains or interest. Although, Christmas signifies the birth and celebration of Jesus Christ and a major part of the Christian religion, it means so much more than that. However, it is wise not to dwell on that because that fixation could cause a segregation across religious beliefs. Christmas simply personifies and creates a platform for giving rather than receiving. As a young boy, I was educated on the difference between giving and receiving by my late grandfather...
