Source:Google Imagine what it would feel like to be recognized as the best graduating student of your school or employer of the year, or better yet, to be the very best in your field and everyone wants to be associated with you because of it? You would feel happy and fulfilled right? Whichever may be your reply, it's very possible to achieve all that, but it comes with a price; which is "an excellent spirit". An excellent spirit, just like any other phrase has more than one definition. Over the years and through history, it has been given several definitions and meanings. It could mean being outstanding, extraordinary, or doing things the very best way it could be done. Having an excellent spirit means living life above average, not mediocre, and becoming the best in every area of your life.  Beyond definitions, having an excellent spirit cuts across every sector of our lives, from academics ( we all wanted to be the best, having that euphoria of being called ...

source:Google Have you ever been in a relationship that you felt you were not supposed to be in? Or do you like a person right now and you are at a crossroads on whether to rush into the relationship or wait a while? Believe me, I know how frustrating these issues can be. I was once in a relationship that I knew I rushed into and everyone around me knew the same, and they kept telling me but I was so in love that I completely ignored my intuition and everyone's. The relationship lasted for a few months and I must say that it took me a very long time and a lot of effort to get over it. I even went into depression . Everyone loves to be loved, everyone loves to have that person they can call their own and can feel that special connection with. Because of that, many people follow the next person that offers a relationship to them, without taking their time to think it through. According to the Oxford dictionary; A relationship is how two or more people or things are connec...

  Source:unsplash ‘‘ You can never rise as a mortal man by your strength, the physical is always controlled by the spiritual. As a mortal man, you must pay obeisance to a deity. An alter must speak for you. The 7 mountains of influence; family, religion, business, government, education, media, arts/entertainment are guarded by gatekeepers and except you are aided by a spirit you can never rise to the peak of any of those mountains. Your rising in life is determined by who you submit to’’ These were the words of the well-suited preacher on my TV who was preaching with so much skill and passion. I sat down watching him preach while I continued drinking my garri after an unsuccessful interview which ended with the usual phrase ‘ we will get back to you. ’ Even though I was uninterested in anything related to religion, those words struck my heart as they reflected my present condition. Lying faced down later in the evening, I allowed my imaginations to run wild. Thinking ab...

Falling in love is a beautiful thing, you get butterflies in your belle, especially when it's a new love. You just can't get enough of the person, you want to see them, be with them and speak to them every time. You get all these feelings until little misunderstandings and problem starts arising, it becomes big issues, until what you dreaded the most happens "Break up". You begin to hurt so bad, you hate yourself for being vulnerable, for falling in love. You hate them for breaking your heart and not keeping to their promises of happily forever after. You remember the good times you had together and it hurts, even more. You cry and cry till there are no tears left to cry. Sometimes, you even go into depression from feeling all these emotions, you begin to hate love, you withdraw from your loved ones. After a while, you begin to heal from depression and all these negative emotions, then there comes that feeling of fear and hate for love and commitment. Ever...

source:pexel He is proud!! I overheard my friend talking to someone over the phone. In as much as I was hurt that my friend could be saying that about me I was still not surprised. I have been tagged proud by so many. In my second year in the university, I could boast of only just a few friends, I was barely known in my department to talk more of the entire school, unlike some of my mates who had friends in all the departments. Growing up as a kid, I discovered that I was always tongue-tied and lack words to say when speaking with my peers. While a few felt I was shy, the majority thought I was proud. I would be surprised and would wish I could speak freely and hold conversations for a long time like my peers. Many times I'll get depressed thinking about my life and I just wished I could be understood. That's just a glimpse of the story of my life,  Looking at my life, I came to the understanding that we condemn and judge people in our minds and sometimes openly, r...

source:pexel Depression! A feeling that people go through nowadays. I can tell you that it's a not-so-funny feeling, coming from someone that has gone through it repeatedly and has also seen people go through it. There are times you feel depression running through you but you just don't want to talk about it with anyone.  You probably have this fear of being judged or being misunderstood or the fear of people using your situation against you. Some people prefer not to talk to anyone about their depressed state. But then, how do you get the help you need when you prefer to keep your situation to yourself? It is amazing to know that you can self-heal from depression without having to talk to anyone about it if you wish not to. For a clearer understanding, I would explain what depression is and how to know you are depressed. Depression is a mood disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of dejection or disinterest in normal activities. In clearer terms, it is when...
