Test your friendships

As you know, friends are great influencers of our growth as human beings. In other words, your friends have the power to make or break you.. This is because you let them in to your life and give them access to your secrets and pieces of information that others do not have. Forming a friendship with someone else is important as it helps to give you insight on how to deal with issues in your current or future love relationships. Due to the significance of the role that friends play in one's life, it is important to carefully select friends that will promote your growth as an individual or person rather than the opposite. My previous blog talks about success and how it can affect friendships since some friends are built or destined for a particular phase in your life. So how do you identify friends that are tailored to your growth or life goals? You test them. It is important to test the people who are close to you. Asking questions or making requests that can assist in identifying the real character or intention of a friend is pertinent if you intend to have the right set of people around you. To give an example, if there is a friend that you have been there for in different ways on different occasions. You have given your time and resources to them at their lowest point or when they are in need. However, when you need the same person in your time of need, they choose not to help especially when you know they are able to help, then revaluation of the friendship is imminent. The aforementioned friend is an example of a "friend" who does not have a genuine interest in your growth as a person since he or she is unable to be there for when you need them (especially when you know they can). It is important to note that to achieve greatness, one has to surround themselves with the right set of people. People who genuinely care about their personal growth and that of their friends.

P. S. I want to use this medium to wish all the avid and new readers of my blog, happy holidays, Merry Christmas and a happy New year of 2019.

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 ...

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...

Let sex be the dessert

Sex has been an activity we have invested in from the beginning of time. That dirty, secretive, heart racing, sheets wrinkling, bodies-colliding deed that we engage in, but dare not talk about in public. This three-letter word plays a major role in the world we live in today. It has strong ties to our society- its existence, longevity and foundation. Although, sex is essential in any intimate relationship, it sometimes is not effectively put to work by couples. People have sex for different reasons. Reasons could include love, attraction, lust/carnal desires, rebellion and so on. However, the focus here will be for couples who are in a relationship or want to form a relationship with a sex life that is nowhere near boring. Now, foreplay is a word that comes to mind when we are asked of how to make sex better and more passionate. That is correct. The only problem is that many people do not know what foreplay is or how to correctly implement it. Knowing the definition of f...
