What everyone craves

Success is what everyone wants. It is what everybody craves and chases. We seek to gain a fraction of success in every thing we do. From waking up to making an impact at work that gets you recognition or hoping to do well in a course at school, success is all anyone thinks of and hopes for in our world today. Achieving success is the reason we have role models in our lives. We model our actions and decisions after these people with the hope of being like or even better than them. However, people tend to forget that achieving success comes with a price that in most instances seem difficult to pay. The path to success mostly does encounter loneliness, betrayal and doubts. To be actually successful or gain success in anything, we need to sacrifice few things in order to gain the greater good. Our sacrifice to achieve success may interfere with the friendships we have built over the years. Some friends can put you in a position to choose between continuing on the path to success versus choosing to remain on good terms with them and remaining in your state of mediocrity. Achieving success or greatness has the ability of isolating one from some friends. This achievement can result in betrayal, jealousy and so on. People will become jealous and envious of you when they see you on top of the mountain or even on your path to the top of that mountain failing to realize that you were once stuck at the bottom of the valley. Not all your friends will support your decision in your pursuit of success. This is because not all friends are built or meant for all phases or chapters of one's life. Some friends are meant for a phase in your life or as a bridge from one phase to another. The path to success can be a lonely or miserable route but the end goal is favorable. Therefore, keep your eyes fixated on the goal at all times, ignoring bystanders or naysayers to achieve that you relentlessly crave or desire.

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...

She won't call him handsome

Women in general are created to perfection. Their well-proportioned facial features, bodacious curves and innate cat-like walks are some of many things women possess that drive men insane. Traditionally, it has been the duty of the man to acknowledge a woman’s appearance or beauty. Most people would agree that it is the gentleman’s thing to do. A man who takes a woman out on a date is expected to compliment her appearance or beauty if he wants to score a second date with her. Admiration comments are also expected from husbands and boyfriends. Many couples have had fights that stemmed from the husband not complimenting their wives’ appearance. This stresses the importance of verbally acknowledging a woman’s appearance. However, it is also important for the woman to acknowledge the men on their appearance because men do appreciate those words and compliments. Words like “You are so handsome”, “I love that color on you. It makes you look more attractive” makes a man feel like a million ...

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...
