Even though we fall, we may rise again. Even though we rise, we may fall again. There is no equation to all of it. Hi. Welcome to my my blog diary. I call it “The Life I defined”. I best express myself through writing. At 6years old I had my first diary, and as you can already imagine, I could not write properly or thought there was something more to write than “today I am sad, today I am happy, I hate school, I want to die”. Each year I had a diary, sometimes I used my exercise books when I had a thought I so much wanted to write down or maybe I had come across a quote in a book I was reading, and felt I related much to it. I guess you can say I was lonely even though I always had so many wonderful people around me. Sometimes it is silent in the loudest places. With each year going by, I was growing and having more experiences and knowledge, I got more advanced and educated, I could see this by the way I was writing and the books I took interest in reading. It was no longer basic, it ...

Staying positive no matter what!!

Image
Why staying positive matters during challenging times In difficult times, maintaining a positive outlook can have an overwhelming impact on our mental well-being. When we embrace positivity, we encourage a mindset that allows us to better cope with stress and uncertainty. Instead of giving in to despair, positivity empowers us to face challenges head-on and find solutions.  Positivity is closely linked to our decision-making and problem-solving abilities. When we approach situations with a positive mindset, we are more likely to think creatively and find innovative solutions. This positive mindset enables us to see obstacles as opportunities for growth and development.  Staying positive helps us build resilience. In the face of difficult situations, maintaining a positive outlook allows us to bounce back and carry on. It equips us with the mental and emotional fortitude to overcome setbacks and keep moving forward. In the face of life's challenges, maintaining a positive outlo...

Believer of power within

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS?  26 years going strong, and I still do not understand the need to put up a list of new years resolutions. To me it always felt safe and real having all the things I want to achieve within a lifetime kept in my mind. The next step in my life is not figured by a list I made in a notebook. The next step of my life is figured by the next phase the year brings me into. Say for instance the next year I will be doing my final year; I know in my mind that I need to dedicate myself into studying and passing. I do not need to make a list on a notebook to know that.  What stage am I going into in my life right now? what is worth making a list that I will/might forget doing for myself? If I so much know what I want and need, why do I need a book to note that down. Don’t get me wrong, I am a strong believer of making notes and jointing things down. I really love making notes of things like quotes I come across from movies that amuse me, lyrics that have a meaning I ...

4. Not About You

On the day I came across this passage,  I grew wiser mentally when coming to the concept of men and their needs and wants towards women . I started to see the bright side and understanding why I am not entitled to any man's attention. It also made me want to be the bigger person in my life and achieve much more than what I had initially wanted. It was on this day when I decided that the life I want with my ideal man will find me when it does, and when it doesn't, it is not a train smash. I also decided that I will put myself in a position of a doing all things I would expect an ideal man to do for me. One would say I had given up on the whole concept of having a man, but that's not what it is.  I had given up on the concept that my ideal man will walk in and do all the things I never thought of doing for myself. I adapted to the fact that he has himself to focus on, and so do I. 18 July 2017 No matter if a man is a CEO, a CON, or both, Everything he does is filtered through...

3. Hell NO!

At the time I came across this quote, I had no idea it was so common. It felt so rare that I thought there was no way anyone knows about this, so I wrote it down. I am writing it here on my blog today because what is common to me is not common to everyone. Someone out there (could be you) is reading this for the first time, and it could be a game changer. This for me was a game changer. It's like it came right  I WOWED because Wow. this is something to hold onto for life. 26 June 2015 “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” -Winston Churchill When it is the darkest you will feel most like quitting. Ironically it’s the worst time to quit…Who wants to stay in hell? It will feel super hard to keep going but it’s necessary for things to get better. Short and to the point right? see you on the Next entry. Thank you for reading.

2. Power & Knowledge

I don't remember what book I got this line from, but I do remember myself scribbling and copying every line right after reading it because I felt it was something I needed to hear and to keep looking back on. The book was not mine, it belonged to the library, so it would be very absurd to highlight it. 19th March 2011 Knowledge is not power but power potential, and rather it is the application of knowledge and not knowledge itself that constitutes power as we think of it. The more time one spends learning any specific thing, the less time they have left on the Earth to learn other things. And those things you’re not learning could be, unknown to you, more helpful to your personal power than the things you have chosen to learn. Naturally, the accuracy of a choice tends to increase with the slowness with which it is decided, and thus there’s an argument to be made that slower more accurate choices are superior to quicker and more sloppily made ones. Regardless, momentum is the achiev...

Mutatio vitae

Image
Change is tricky. We often realize this when it's too late. My laziness made me unhappy; I had become my comfort zone’s prisoner. I was unhappy because I knew I wasn’t living up to my potential. The source of my unhappiness stemmed from the anger and dissatisfaction I possessed for being less than my best. The chasm between who I was and who I thought I should be was limitless. But for a long time I wasn’t conscious enough to realize that this was the source of all my sorrows, including brief bouts of depression.  Upon self-examination, I eventually came to realize everything I have just said. The analytical ability came in useful for something, it allowed me to examine myself and determine cause and effect. My weakness became a strength, it allowed me to make the mindset shift necessary to reprogram myself. I changed. Even if I don’t have the level of success the high standards of my ambition demand of me, I accept what I have and who I am as long as I do my best. I enjoy the jour...
