Have We Lost Our Humanity?

 

Being slipping into depression again and i tell you, it's been ages since i last slipped over and i was speaking to Tracy about it because i needed to talk to someone about it before it becomes resident longer than necessary and she told me that something might have triggered it. 

As true as that seems, there is always something that triggers depression.. for me, its been something that i have had to struggle with from teenage when popsy left us and having had to go through harsh times with mumsy and my kid sister.

We aren't there yet but things have changed a bit for the better and God knows i am grateful even though, i have only gone to church once, this year (i know that look...lol... i will go to church this sunday so dont judge me).

I think the reason the depression is coming back is because of keeping up with the recent happenings around the world. Working in the media hasn't helped in any great proportion regarding helping one stay positive and worse off, it comes firsthand to you before you pass it on to the public.

The news of global insurgency, the list of ongoing armed conflicts that are taking place around the world, the rapid degradation and dilapidation of the education sector, not forgetting economic meltdowns, poverty in African countries, bad leadership, heartless citizens, broken homes, Job issues, divorce case even between some major spiritual leaders that i have grown up listening to is beyond me.

Nowadays, its very unlikely to get good news anywhere and this would naturally make anyone think that evil has come to not just hover upon the face of the earth but stay perpetually till the world wraps up and it may get worse than it already is. Don't get me wrong, i am the most optimistic person alive but hey, it's hard to really see through the waters when you are trying not to drown alongside others.

Sometimes, after i read some news, i tend to wonder what the next generation will be like.

children are no more children, humans have lost their humane side....

How do i mean???

Take a look at this picture and tell me if you couldnt have done the same.

You probably are wondering what this is all about right?
Here is  picture of a Liberian woman who lived in Lagos but was terribly sick so much so that people around her stopped selling anything to her, thinking that she might have been carrying Ebola Virus (stigmatization based on the fact that she is from Liberia). The woman couldn't take it anymore,coupled with her dealing with her unknown illness, she ended it all by killing herself through hanging on a tree.

Sad yea?

But this is what we "humans" did afterwards, TAKING A GODDAMN picture, probably to post on social networking site. Now tell me, "is Sodom and Gomorrah not better than us?"
Atleast, knowing how sinful they were , they accommodated  lots and his families !!
And these same people say they worship a God? These same people say they have conscience?
Do they even pray to God at Night?
There has been worse cases of jungle justice meted out to victims and no one out there in the midst of the mobs to call for help to save them. All they did was stand and watch or yell or accuse!
We forget that the clock ticks all the time, non stop and it might tick towards your direction one day.
You might find yourself in that position where you need someone to pull you out of that accident scene, knowing that you are not fully dead but just in a state of unconsciousness and yet, you are left there with people around thinking you are dead... till you slip off to oblivion with your life drained out of you finally.
Unaware to the public looking at your frail state that you actually gave up your last struggle in 15 minutes.
It always has a way of coming back at you or your loved ones, if we don't show some act of kindness to one another now.

Please, find the human inside of you and act fast, act quick because you never know what redemption price you might be paying for you and your children.
Don't stand there and judge someone else just because you sin differently!
Help, give a listening ear to anyone that needs help.
Tracy did that smallest thing of taking me out to the movies just to make me snap out of depression.
I am alot better.. !
She would have said, hey.. chic abeg pack well!
Na only you get wahala?
Thats what friends are for... to lift you up when you are down. They necessarily might not be in the right state of mind too but hey they will be there for you because they are stronger than you at that moment.
Well, i promise to return the favour next week wednesdayyyy!
Have a frigging weekend guys!
Stay happy! muaaaaaah

The World Is Your Stage, Go Out There And Perform, Give A Great Show!

The greatest tragedy in life would be to get old and feel like somewhere along the way, you had lost yourself and never succeeded at being you because all along you were too afraid to be you and your self esteem was too low to bring you out there in the faces of people that matter and had been pre-positioned to help you to reach your destiny set by God.

The month of September just got started and it is almost the end of the year and I just realized that there were some things I said I wanted to do at the start of the year that I haven’t taken steps to doing them because I was too scared of being rejected, basically scared of failing and I kept wondering if I am even good enough to be able to execute these things… and I observed that as I procrastinated, time was running out and I noticed that all along, the level of my self-worth was pretty low and I needed to revamp it up or I will be stagnated for life…!
All of the plans to be carried out this year but yet you are scared to begin because you think you might fail is only as a result of the fact that your opinion of your self is too low, if not, you wouldn’t give it a second thought.
 So today I just decided upon boosting you by talking about self worth…because for pit sakes, we need to get to the next level in life, or don’t you think so?
To succeed at being you, you  must be confident; there is absolutely no doubt about the fact that you need to grab right now and forever that the level of the confidence you portray is apparently directly proportional to the level of the opinion you have stored up about yourself..!
So pushing and putting yourself out there depends on the opinions you have about yourself, that’s self esteem and it depends on some questions that i think you should try asking yourself in order to evaluate yourself!

Like: is your job worthwhile? Do you like what you do?
Do you believe that you would be successful before the year runs out?
How do you even see yourself?
How do you feel about your strength and weaknesses?
What do you think about your social status and if you don’t have a good social network, then what kind would you like to be seen in?
And how do you relate with others?
Can you even make your own decision because a lack of choice leads to low self esteem…
This and many more we will be talking on today the world is fast moving, more than the speed of light and you need to move in correspondence to that speed whether in altitude or magnitude!

You can only learn to love some other person near perfectly, just when you have master the act of loving yourself first… and loving yourself only shows how much opinion you hold about yourself…!
check it out, people who look at themselves in the mirror and always find one thing to complain about, never get to love themselves and they always battle with low self worth…
When you have it at the back of your mind that time is too short and you need to pour out all of the incredibly remarkable stuffs stored all up in you like a dynamite and then you are getting older by the years, a time will definitely come when you begin to realize that you wasted your youthful years being scared of the things that were actually scared of the content you carried all along that you never realized…!
I have realized that the people you are scared or shy to face are the once who are scared of you the most but you don’t know because you don’t have the eyes to see beyond what’s there inside of you beyond the physical…! You carry greatness and some of us don’t know it because we are limited by the things we are daily subjected to…!
You need to rise above the water most of the time if you want to survive…and rising above that ocean is first acknowledging the fact that you are not the kind of being to die trying!

So in the road to success, a good opinion of yourself, your ability is a vital vehicle that can transport you in less than a distance from any mile to the powerhouse of success. You can’t be totally successful or attain the height of success you want in all ramifications of life, if your self worth is low and it goes a long way to affect how you become receptive to challenges… Low self worth makes you give up easily rather than face the challenges… It has a direct bearing on your happiness and well being!
I get mails from guys who say that they are too shy to talk to the girls they so desire… it’s not that you are too shy to talk, it’s just that you think you are not good enough for her, your opinion of yourself is pretty low if not on a zero point on the scale…!
What you need is to revamp your self worth…! if you believe that no girl can resist me, there you go, it will definitely show from the way you talk to her, the way you approach her, it will show in your comportment… so get on with the programme of realizing that you are more than you think you are, you carry what is heavier than what you ever thought or imagine…! 

You are a walking time-bomb ready to explode… ofcourse for the positive though…!
Even if you don’t feel like it, you will act like it, till you feel like it, till it becomes infused in your very being…
Because believe me, it is crucial to your very existence in life… how do you dare to live in the shadows of others because you are scared of what they think of you or say…
Let them say all the carp they think about you but please keep on moving…, if you stop at every point on your way to your destination just to throw back stones at the people who try to bring you down, you will never get there or even if you get to that peak of fulfillment in life, you will realize that it took all your life to get there when it would have taken less of as much time it took you now to arrive…
Do you get my point? So stopping to throw back stones at haters, will affect your potential to be successful…and slow down your speed limit of success.
Never in my life did I think I would never make it in life… never! And your beliefs are catapults in the hands of your creator…! Use your belief power because it can make you or mar you depending on the direction you will it…!

Self worth is central to everything you do. It changes how you feel about and value yourself and it can be the difference between failure and success. somehow in our lives, some people must have outrightly made a comment or statement about how bad they think we look and this statement kept on ringing in our subconsciousness and has stayed there ever since as a registered reminder of what they have made us think we are and so you notice that you no longer function actively in that line of our lives… we just find ourselves reacting in a certain awkward way with regards to that focal point…
Look, i don’t care what they have made you become, negatively… i just want you to know that no human is perfect anywhere here on planet earth..but every one has got  flaws that can be packaged attractively.. its all in the mind, people and its not what people who don’t know where they are going to themselves, feed you with that should matter to you but what you feed your head with. For me, i try not to feed my head with bad news because it affects me in a way that’s not healthy…

In all, take a look at your self in the mirror, i don’t care what it is you think you see, say to yourself everyday of your life that there is and can never be another me… except an imitation or a duplicate of me that can only be at its best by looking like me but not functioning fully in the capacity of being me….yeah…!
You are who you are and you are making a resolution to love who you are and what you can become… start falling in love with the realization that you are beautiful the way you are and you will refuse to give in to your flaws because it’s never an issue to content with….
And nevertheless you are a special package outlined for greatness, about to be unveil to your world….

Come on now, Dangote has got one head like every other person, so what makes him !
So people, when next you step out of your door, please literally square up your shoulders with your head held high, and like a role model for others to emulate and with a unique signature of your own, please walk out on the street with a tinge of pride, an air of confidence and a touch of class mixed with that smile on your face into your world…
The world is your stage, go out there and perform, give a great show….
I will just rap thing up by saying that knowing your self worth commands respect that you may not deserve because people are naturally drown to persons with an aura of confidence or call it certainty. To get the magic of creating that natural essence of great confidence, you must first accept to be you and not somebody else..
I mean, why compare yourself with others or try being another person when no one in the entire universe can do a better job of being you than you… really????
I will leave you with this in case you just didn’t grab all the things i said…;. see, i have come to understand that those who follow the crowd are quickly lost in it… so find you self and stand alone in what you believe till you attract other into believing in you….
