Life Notes

One of my favourite spot in campus was the centre of the rugby pitch.Saturday and Sunday were the most quiet days in campus.The environment was relaxed and the breeze was cool.On a Sunday after church,I could go take lunch and at around 1500 hrs,I would go sit down in a lotus position like one doing yoga meditation.My mind would start wandering into the issues of life.The biggest questions would be; What will my future look like? Will I be successful in  by all standards? Why am I still in this world? Was I born to become part of the statistics and just go? Who will I marry? Will I be able to go to heights I've seen other people go? Will I afford decent life? A car? A home? Good education for my kids? I usually left that spot with more questions than answers. At times I just lay there and just forget the many questions about life.But then again they never ended,they kept on ring in my heart.I just had to find a solution.A solution I did not know where I would start.S...

I used to spend time and play with kids in my boyhood.Even now I still do.Kids are just amazing. Especially when they are in a certain age where everything seems impossible.A lot runs my mind when you listen to their questions and the things they ask you to do. Their dad is the strongest man they know. They have to fight to get what they want by all means through sheer persistence. They ask anything,anywhere,anyhow. They dare try new things.They explore. They learn quickly and adapt super fast. ... I wonder, where did kid fearlessness go? Do I have to be scared and wonder what other people had to say about me? Why can't I speak out my heart the way a kid does,honestly and openly? Can't I pursue the music in my heart without being the crowd drowning it? Where did the aggression go? Can't I play the game of life boldly? When will I break off the barriers and go for what is in my heart? Why can't I see possibility in everything instead of impossibiliti...

When they talk dirty and ignoble in your ears, When they flip through an explicit video in your eyes, When she touches you and thoughts start running your mind, When your body demand for more sensations, What will you do? Will you say everybody is doing it? When they disregard the walk of brethren, When they openly tell you church is full of hypocrites, When they lead a prayerless and Wordless life, When doctrine run through the media and you're wondering what to believe, What will you do? Will you just remain silent? When you've no job and all the I want is 'tea'. When you want promotion and all they want is what you've reserved for your spouse, When they back bite in your job and business, When you've been unfairly dismissed, What will you do? Will you give in? When retrenchment is happening all over, When tough economic times hit and business stand on shaky ground, When it's even hard to provide for basic family needs, When all th...

BELIEVE – while others are doubting. PLAN – while others are playing. STUDY – while others are sleeping. DECIDE– while others are delaying. PREPARE– while others are daydreaming. BEGIN – while others are procrastinating. WORK – while others are wishing. INVEST– while others are wasting. LISTEN– while others are talking. SMILE – while others are frowning. COMMEND – while others are criticizing. PERSIST – while others are quitting.

All through everyday, You've won red,at heart. You've maintained a bouquet of flowers,fresh. You've been a gift,priceless. Thinking Love,is thinking Wink, Thinking  Wink,is thinking treasure, Thinking treasure,is thinking life, Thinking life,is thinking future, Thinking future, is together with Mercy.  In my lowest moment you've stood with me, In my highest moments you've been proud of me. In my outbursting moments,you've remained calm for me. In my broke moments,you've taken water with me. In my failing moments you've forgiven me  Nothing can reciprocate your unconditional love for me, Nothing can pay the sacrifices you've made for me, Nothing can equate,the patience you've had for me, Nothing can compare,the feel good you give me. Nothing and noone can occupy,the speci...

In their 20's,it was one of those classic couple, Her hair curled like that of Irene Cara, His stature must be the reason mantra;tall dark and handsome. They were looking vibrant, Full of vibration, The vibe of their peers,they must have been. They had nil children then, Now they have three;29,25,21. How they now look, all in the album. The only single day he wore shoes at primary school was in class 3,receiving an award, The only trace of his dad ever attending a church service was in 1999,receiving baptism. How can he forget how his green,white and black uniform at secondary school, And the serious look he wore when he turned 18. He is now the 25 yr old kid,the age his dad was when he wore the mantra. The boyhood,iall in the album.  A handshake receiving another award,this time in form one. Everything remains quiet till f...

A pen and paper,she inked; Don't coin happiness if you are hurting, Don't take everything too serious, Don't remember my past mistakes, Don't forgive me if you don't mean it, Don't stay for ages,MARRY me sooooon!  A phone and finger,she texted; Love God more than me, Let me go home in time,I am still daddy's gal, Take more risk for life is for risk takers, Be better today than yesterday for us.  A break and offline,she responded; Instead of 'you could have' use 'how about', Perfectionism is not of this world avoid, Never judge me,it's just unfair, Don't make me feel guilty,we all make mistakes. A silence and no word,she felt; How do I tell him how much I love him, May he be patient with me, to continue working on become better day by day. Sorry for all the heartaches. I never meant to hurt you. A talk and presence,she...
