This kind life

That night was a cold night, it had just rained and her life was fast coming to an end.

She stood by the window looking in the distance for herself. "I hear people say beautiful things about their mothers..." She turned to look at me. There was nothing to say to put out the chaos starting on her face. "I never did have a mother. As a young adult, I learnt too soon to be a mother and a husband to women whose husbands did not care..." She continued.

Somehow, she had grown old too early. When you look at her from behind, she looked like a beautiful girl, but her front view reminded you of your  grandma; remember when she came into the room wrapped in her favourite wrapper.

"Even my mother forgets that I am her child." She added.

She turned to return to the window like she forgot something. "I am tired of caring..." Wiped the tears ruining her make up. "See the beautiful sun is retiring behind that cloud... A cloud of doubt, maybe. Seems it is about to rain again... see, even the sun is scared of the rain..." She said like one who has no care for beauty. If she did, she would have noticed the beautiful  scene coloured by the gods...see how beautiful the cloud looked.
She turned to look at me like she had forgotten I was sitting in the same room with her and that we had been engaged in a conversation before now...

"Even the cloud is full of doubt" she said like a barren woman wondering in her fleeting thoughts.

"What were we talking about please?"

"Nothing" I said.

Why you should know how to cook

So I had written this post before stumbling on this post  "Why Some Women Don’t Want Another Woman, In Their House And Around Their Man" on The Mind of an Indpeth Woman (indepthwoman.WordPress.com) and I read through and saw that I had a member of the other gender in support of what I have written. If you are not too busy, you could read the post on the blog.

  Research has proven that when a lion charges towards a person, the chances of it backing down depends on whether or no the person shows any display of fear.

The David we all know faced Goliath with a sense of inner strength he believed was not 'His' but God's. In battle his belief became his strength. 

We are to resist the devil before he will flee from us. We are not to flee from him an expect him to run the opposite direction. Resist, fightback....... When the going gets tough, you get tougher and get going. Believe in your inner strength, silence your insecurities and hey!! Stop running, turnaround and FACE THAT DEMON.

Volunteering

Growing up we are told to discover our true self. The advice never stops resounding. Everyone seems to know the benefit but not everyone can really explain the step-by-step of self discovery. 

A wise man advises  "know thyself".

You are not taught this in school. If you were taught this in school, then at least 40% of the classes we attend would be centered on self discovery. 

Self discovery is the prerogative of every human.

This need to discover self is not ascribed to young adults alone. Even the 'grownups' seem to be scrambling in the dilemma of finding their true self.

WHAT IS VOLUNTEERING? 

Simply put, "it is going out of your way to see things done without gratification." Helping out with a task without the money-motivation" 

It is true that the act of Volunteering makes it easy for one to discover self.

Selfdiscovery is tied to a lot of things, and volunteering is one of those things.

Not only do you get to do good to people and the society at large, you also increase your network.

Network is a crucial part of any business. Whether or not you agree, we all need people as much as we need air. 

Every business that is thriving or not is as a result of the network of people, be it customer base or workers base.

Volunteering brings you in contact with potential clients as well as more good people to help. 

Volunteering also increases self-esteem. 

When you see that you are meeting the needs of people around you, your self-worth increases. The way you perceive yourself changes for good. And since people see us the way we see ourselves, we begin to take a new outlook in the eyes of those around us.

Volunteering increases versatility.
Since it is your goal to solve people's problems, you tend to pick or acquire skills relevant to their needs, and by so doing, you increase your skill set, and the value you bring to the market. 

And remember,  YOU CANNOT EARN MORE THAN THE VALUE YOU BRING TO THE MARKET. - JIM ROHN

There are a lot of benefits that accrue to you when you volunteer.
More youth should volunteer.

DEAR JEMIMAH

I have found a dream that has become my reality. I thought you would be that person that would make the pieces fit rightly together. But you never did try. You loved me to the extent your ego permitted. You never truly give every bit of your heart. You have a way of keeping the part that helps you breathe the breath of resentment and malice.

I  am not entirely correct. You weren't really meant for me, but I couldn't let the idea of letting you go find a place in my heart. I wanted you at the cost of our lives.

They may say no one ever can tell the cause of a broken home, but here is a clue for them : That she broke your heart may not be her fault. It doesn't make her the bad person. Sometimes, it takes a broken heart to bring one to a point where one realizes that one was never compatible with the other.

The other person may not be entirely wrong. They may happen on you as a 'right person for the wrong person.'

So when they say NO to you. Let it go. You will find a resounding YES soonest!
