DESTINY OR FATE.

-

There he sat, wondering why he was broke.If being broke was funny, he would never be out of jokes.There he sat thinking, hand on his chin.The world seemed to have stopped, at least for him.It didn't use to be like this, he wasn't always sad.Until death came from nowhere and took away his dad.Uncles and other relations came and took all their properties.Accused his mother of murder and all sorts of atrocities.And so they left the house, empty-handedHe, his mother and his 2 siblings heavy hearted.He knew in this journey called life, he had approached a bend.He knew all would get better, it was far from the end.But nothing was really moving, everything was stagnant.His younger brother had just gotten a girl pregnant.Final year in the university, trying hard to cope.Still being optimistic. So high were his hopes.All he wanted was to give his mother a reason to smile.He knew he would do it. Though it was going to take a while.Still sitting down thinking, he finally let out a sigh.He decided to  do the best he could and leave the rest for the Most HighAnd so, the mother had all her hope in her son.She knew one day, he was going to shine brighter than the sun.Graduation soon came, he came out top of his class.The first First Class student of the department, he broke the record like it was glass.Fortunately,he was called to work for a big company.With a huge salary, a car and a house to accompany.Taking his bath excitedly on that Monday morning, he fell in his bath tubSadly, he died the day he was to start jobHis mother died of shock. In him was her faith.Is dying at such a time his destiny or is it just fate?

BENEFITS OF MEDITATION

Meditation is exactly what the image above says it is! It’s not worry or anxiety. It’s building a quiet place in your mind. Meditation is a time your mind becomes quiet and relaxed enough to let your brain and mind rest. It’s when you see, hear, feel, and analyze clearly. Some emotional benefits of meditation are; * Gaining a new perspective. * Manage your stress better. * Increasing self-awareness. * Focusing on the present. * Reducing negative emotions. * Heightened Imagination and creativity. * Building patience and tolerance. * Sleep better at night. * Make better choices. Learn to meditate this month.  Teach your mind peace and quiet.  Teach yourself to be more at ease. P.S: I’ll be making a more detailed post on meditation, soon. So keep reading . #khaysays #newmonth #newmonthnewgoals #newmonthvibes #november #november2020 #november1 #meditation #peace #peaceandquiet #peacefulmind

THOUGHTS ON #EndSars PROTEST

‘Generation Z’, the generation I’m proud to be a part of.  This entrepreneurial generation This independent generation This generation who knows the scores This generation who embrace change This generation who wants their voices heard. I’m proud to be a part of such a generation. Ever since it’s inception in late 1992, the dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad #EndSars has committed unpardonable atrocities without remorse and #NigerianYouths have had it. I smile when I see this generation standing up for their right and exercising it in demanding change.  Now, they say they have dissolved SARS and replaced it with SWAT ⁉️  Does changing a thief’s name from ‘James’ to ‘Paul’ stop him from being a thief ❓ While these protests are ongoing, the @NigerianPoliceForce has failed to keep its officers assigned to these protest areas, in line. The results being the gory deaths, harassment, and brutalization of our ‘should be’ leaders of today.   The saddest part of all th...

IN THE SPIRIT OF YULETIDE

-
Breathe in the fresh air of the season Then think deeply of the reason See how One, for the love of all, gave up His all Remember His sufferings and how He had to fall. A historic fall that paid for all of humanity's future expenses The truth is being revealed in prophesies The truth present in a brighter future The lies absent in the message of grace. In everything we see it clearly now In brevity we see He truly gave His all So we accept and believe in Him In the spirit of yuletide, we celebrate Him.
