Being Happy

Image
When we were young, we felt the only thing we needed was to eat and grow. Then it increased to knowing how to read. Then to understanding how to read a clock's time,  Then, to how to just pass it each examination and progress to the next class. All I am saying is, we were born to see that life needed simple intentional steps. And the goal was to gain Satisfaction and to be happy. We just needed to only take those steps to be happy, fulfilledand Satisfied.  Do we still remember to be happy now? The struggles of life have still not stopped from way back, as afore explained. Rather, it has been increasing. It has so progressed so much that we achieve our objectives without those simple sense of satisfaction and Joy that we used to have from the beginning. Most of us have gone as far in life as bear burdens we do not even know we even carry; From planning ahead the Meal Plan, to planning what to wear, plans for the day, Job outcomes, future of spouses, children, famili...

Protect the boy Child

Image
I cannot emphasize this enough. You see, research shows that 70% of the sexually abused before the age of 18years are boys. There is the society's idea of toxic masculinity that claims 'boys are meant to enjoy sex' 'boys/men don't cry' and 'boys are not meant to complain'.  I want to say that, where it is very true that 3 in every 10 ladies have been raped and sexually harassed, and women are not so biologically protected as the males and thus suffer more from these occurrences, I still wish we protect the males like we protect the females.  Just like you groom the women to be expressive, good mothers, wives and sisters, please groom our boys to be expressive, good fathers, husbands and brothers. Who are we deceiving? We groom the women to face these men who have been left to fend for themselves emotionally and socially, and think these women will never get the results from the experiences of these men? Okay, this morn...

You Are Enough and Blessed

Image
On this day, I want to let you know that you are valuable and enough. It does not matter the people who have left or rejected you. You are Enough. Your Value is in You. Only you and God knows your true worth. Little wonder he delayed not to give up his life for you. #HeCallsYouBlessed! (C) Ethel Etuk Willie

GENERAL VIEW

Image
General view is synonymous with survey; overall picture; overall view; general picture. What does it mean to have a general view? Marriam Webster dictionary, defines general view as general opinion or an overall view. On this note, It is known of how easy it is for us to box people, life and situations as if there will never change. We expect so much within a particular area that they can't move beyond that boundary to us. Most cases, we hold on to memories where people have failed or made mistakes and we limit or box them to that mistake and failure, forgetting they is something called growth, development and change. We feel they should act that we because we feel they should through their mustajws or situations  When we see things, mistakes and situations with a general view we leave room for growth and improvements. Here is a better way to explain my point. So in introducing myself, I spoke of an organisation (in the course of this work, i will refer to it as a perso...

Hopeful or Hopeless?

Image
The world is so exhausting with so many hatred and inhumanity. Most times, the ignorant finds peace more than the informed, because with knowledge often comes unrest. What shall we then say: 1. Is this life meant to last forever? No. 2. Since people wish and act differently, it means things can be good and things can also go sour due to man's desires, actions and inactions. 3. So, are we helpless to people's actions, desires and inactions because we cannot control them? Yes and No. Yes, we cannot control them. But that is why as men of the spirit ( Spirit of Christ Jesus), we are lead by the spirit. Better put, the spirituals are our normal. Hence, beyond man's desires (even ours), God will direct us, giving us way of escape or better ways to lead our lives amidst unfavorable situations. The life we have in Christ is eternal life which is preserved by God himself, so we cannot loose it. We are not hopeless.  Certainly not hopeless to the devices of the devil, as...

Kids Should be Kids

Image
Alicia Trautwein1st CEO at The Mom Kind “There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN DO instead of what he can not do.” Dr. Temple Grandin In the course of being one of the kids Summer coding/programming instructor at the Akwa Ibom State e- Library, IBB Way Uyo in August 2021; We had kids who their parents felt  would always perform less than expected and those who parents think should or would always act a certain way. But the irony of it all is that, they are a lot different from their parent's narrative. (I know that elders in already leading and knowing life, try to guide their Wards in ways they feel could help their future. But the truth is, kids should be kids. They should be groomed properly with love and patience and not in haste) Therefore, instructors (at the e -Library then) tried as much as possible to give the kids a leveled ground to walk on. The result was amazing! It turned out that these kids felt alive! They felt like their dr...
