“Our minds are the battle grounds in which our battles are won or lost; it is the last frontier before our victories. You and I can get to anywhere from where we are, we can become anything we dream or chose to become” I got this from a post of one of my favorite bloggers, well, It’s totally up to us as the quote says, we’ve been given the power. Great things however do not happen to us by coincidence, to become and arrive at the right destination, we must become the right people.
Last night, I couldn’t sleep; I tried to read some book that I have been reading …. Well I admit that I have read the book for almost six months now and its a 496 paged book which is my worst since I learnt how to read but I know I will finish it somehow, and since my brain was not focused on the book quick query ran through my mind and it was like...what would I want from my life? Am I wondering on aimlessly taking life as it comes? This startled me, I put the book aside and embarked on this question that was kind of tormenting my mind. I thought real hard and had all sorts of imaginations of life and in the end I was in agreement with my self that confronting life was the best thing to do, but how does one start it?
I must admit that confrontation isn’t always something that I enjoy, but then I have to say what has to be said or face what is to be faced. Right there from where you are, you can begin to live a brand new changed life, from right now. The greatest change that can happen to any human is a change of thought, a foundational change in philosophy or perspective. We are who we are, until we challenge who we are, empty our cups and open up ourselves for greater possibilities. Let me be frank with you, the reason you are where you are currently is because that’s how far the way you think can take you. If you are broke, angry, frustrated or unhappy, you were led there by your thoughts. If you want more, better, or greater, then you need to think differently. Einstein said it correctly, when he said that the level of thinking that solves a problem must be different from the level of thinking that created it.
So many times, I believe we wish we could go back in time and do them with a different result; we resign our selves in living in consequences’ of the mistakes we made. But one thing that I believe everyone must know is that you cant have ado- over but rather we have to face our own indifferences’ then reposition our selves and have a makeover, and the interesting bit about it is that it doesn’t involve any dieting of some sort, anew wardrobe or even plastic surgery.
I think its time to stop burying our heads in the sand, stop being afraid of hoping and reflect on what life means and where it’s headed. Its time to stop being afraid and want more and go after more, time to unplug the life support system of complacency to which you have been attached for so long and inhale deeply from the winds of change that are now blowing your way. Everyone can have a better life but the question is are you willing to fight for it? Are you willing to face your own indifferences?
Till then…..

Not forgotten yet.....
Hey my people, its been so long, actually close to two years but with the kind of my work schedule,it has not given me time to update this blog of mine but none the less i will still keep blogging.I love this blog, much as I may have deserted it, I still love it and I don’t think I will ever neglect it at all. I may take long to update it no matter how long it takes; I will still come back to my blog.
Life has not been at its best for me, there has been some ups and down but am still pushing on and all the glory goes to God.
All this while I have been busy working and trying to make sure that I live a very comfortable life just as God intended it for me, I have been in the financial field for now 5 good years and guess what I feel I should change and do something that is more like humanities or so…. Am not yet decided at this. For me to be able to do this I need to study a maters degree in Public health which I think will be the gate opener to this new found love of mine, but then is public health the right way to go?
I am sorry about the hiatus; I have been away but not gone, as some folks will know.
I would like to stress that I cannot wait for this year to be over. It has been odd. I have definitely learned some things. Do you know that being creative can be a curse (at the risk of sounding conceited). There are many things that I can do, too many. The problem for me is that I need to figure out which nail to hammer. As I have mentioned before (I think) I got made redundant earlier this year, I was sad and relieved at the same time. Banking pays but it does not speak to my soul, I am an idealist like that, what ever it is I end up doing, has to make my heart hum. So, here in lies the dilemma. In the past 12 months, I have thought of having this kind of children’s boutique from the one day old to eighteen years old, start a disadvantaged children and women’s home……I really have a lot on my mind but then I do not know which one I would like to concentrate my energies on, I enjoy doing all these things. Ah, it is driving me mad. I want to be less interested, less inclined to indulge myself in my many interests. Does this sound like I am thinking about anything?
By the way a distant cousin of mine is getting married on Saturday and I have been forced to spend some good money on the Gomesi. I am very annoyed about that, I feel cheated. I love my cousin; he is a nice guy but I feel I should have saved some more money towards this occasion. I am getting fleeced and I am supposed to be happy about it? I asked a friend why it is compulsory for me to wear the gomesi, and she asked me why I make it my mission to be difficult. Imagine! Not only do I have to pay 10 times (by my own estimation) what the fabric is worth, I also have to pay the seamstress. Now, her case is another matter entirely. I asked her how much it is for her to sew me a dress, nothing too elaborate (as I have no plans to wear this dress again). She says 'oh, my sister, pay what you think I deserve' Now, see me see trouble, how does one even begin to make sense of that. See rock, see hard place and yours truly is bang in the middle. I'll either pay her too little or I'll pay too much. I have to go try on the dress tomorrow, I think then I'll decide on how much I should pay her.
I am happy that my blogging muse chose right now to pay me a visit, I missed the whole of it. Right now, I am actually blogging…...
