Let’s talk about life and everything in between…

THE WINTER TREE

How do you describe the picture above ? While you think about it, let me give you my own descriptions: 1. It’s bare of leaf 2. The branches look like reaching arms. 3. It looks skeleton-bare and eerie 4. I can tell that the tree bark will feel as cold as a crocodile’s back. Etc... … Continue reading THE WINTER TREE →

I PAY NO HEED TO THE SOCIETY’S STANDARDS…

The society has set certain standards and time limits for people. We are expected to do certain things at certain times and if we fail to, we are considered failures in that area. Some of such standards include: When to marry, Whom to marry Whom not to marry what kind of a wedding to have … Continue reading I PAY NO HEED TO THE SOCIETY’S STANDARDS… →

IMELDA’S DILEMMAS

This sort of questions always came whenever she annoyed him. That morning, her offense was failing to submit to him in bed. But why would she not? Wasn’t he her husband?

I BLAMED LIFE FOR MY PROBLEMS!?

One mistake we make most times is expecting life to treat us nicely all the time... Sometimes life 'throws' us down in order to make us stronger. Problems of life are not supposed to pull us down and 'shatter' us forever, rather they are supposed to "sit us down (pull us down), and  'mould' us … Continue reading I BLAMED LIFE FOR MY PROBLEMS!? →

How do you describe the picture above ?
While you think about it, let me give you my own descriptions:
1. It’s bare of leaf
2. The branches look like reaching arms.
3. It looks skeleton-bare and eerie
4. I can tell that the tree bark will feel as cold as a crocodile’s back.
Etc... etc...
But can we look beyond the old and haggard looks of the tree and it’s branches? Look deeper...deeper...what do you see?
THE BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT BLUE SKIES! Right? Yeah! I see it too!
See? The tree is old and not very pleasant to look at, but through the leafless and weary looking branches, the bright and heartwarming blue skies can be seen.
That is all i see! I see beyond the "ugliness of this beautiful tree"...😊
See, this is a tree in Winter...it’s nothing lovely to look at (maybe) But! ...but because it is bare of leaves, it exposes the beautiful blue skies.
In Summer, this very tree will become “healthy “ with lots of green leaves...it will look extremely beautiful! But then...then, the beautiful blue skies will be hidden from the view!
Do you catch the drift yet?
Of course you have...weldon. So let’s talk about it...
See the good in every situation in your life.
When it seems like your life has become “bare of leaf”, just like this tree in winter, look beyond the tree and see the beautiful blue skies...look beyond the difficulties and see the beautiful side of your life, because it is always...always there. Hold on to that while you wait for the summer...for the time that "the beauty"will be evident for all to see.
The only problem is that we are most times, too focused on the ugly part, to see the beautiful part.
Let this Winter tree be your guide today...
Shalom!

In the spirit of St. Valentine’s day celebration. Remember that YOU are loved. The whole world doesn’t have to love you before you figure that you are loved, even the Love you have for yourself is enough...add mine to that too 🥰. May Love colour your life beautifully. #val #love #joy #igers
I keep telling people that “beauty is vain, unless something valuable is added to it. Find a way to “BE BEAUTIFUL EVEN WHEN THE PHYSICAL BEAUTY IS TAKEN FROM YOU”. Make your beauty/handsomeness “valuable” by being innovative, smart, intelligent, and by adding some value to the world around you, no matter how little that value is. Look into you and find out what makes you special and bring it to the world...let your star shine. Don’t dim it by being just “beautiful”. #veraslounge #beinnovative #bevaluable #addvalue #standout #beauty #dontjustbebeautiful #goodhead #goodbrain #goodlife #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #instagrampost #instagramwriters #inspirationalwriters
The society has set certain standards and time limits for people. Like when to marry, whom to marry, whom not to marry, what kind of a wedding to have,when to have kids, and when not, when to get a job and how much to earn...and so on... We are products of our society, yes. Our society influences us greatly, i agree. But always remember that your peace of mind and happiness surpasses everything you aim to achieve by pleasing the society. The society tells you what is expected of you, but is it always on the journey of life with you? #thinkaboutit #bewise #veraslounge #beinspired #mondaymotivation #lifeagoodlife #behappy #havepeaceofmind #igers #motivationalquotes #motivationalspeaker #blog
Exactly...We all want to find out 😉 I wish you “good money"...may you be successful and happy at the same time #vera’slounge #Saturday #behappy #besuccessful #makemoney #moneyyear #igers #quotes
