The flipside of the Coin || the side you don't wish to be on

This is the truth about being on the other
side. You will have to get a taste of both sides of life before you can truly appreciate and value the lessons learnt. Unless you experience what it feels like to be on the other side of any situation, you may not understand what I'm talking about now.
If at all you have not yet experience the both sides of life situations this post is to help you create awareness about some ironies in life, appreciate life the more, learn more yet be thankful for the grace to be where you are now.
On the other hand, if you have had a taste of both sides of life, good or bad, smiles or sadness, today's post is for you as well. It is to encourage you to learn through life, appreciate the struggles and the lessons along the way.

Faith is not only for missionaries, you need a pinch of it

You are welcome to today's weekly words for the moment.
I was privileged to see a movie that moved my sense of reasoning.
In one of the scenes, a character said to his co-character in the movie 'have faith' concerning the situation that they were facing, according to the story line. The co-character who was told to have faith immediately replied sarcastically 'faith' is for missionaries, give me an immediate result'.

Weekly words for the moment || The truth is not to hurt you, it is to prepare you for what is ahead

The truth is bitter, it breaks but it also comforts. The after effects are not always as bad as the opposite sides - ignorance and lies. God Himself did not lie that we will not encounter the storms of life but He told us the truth so that we might be prepared to face them in Isaiah 43:2
"when thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flames kindle upon you".

4 classes of moments in life that your choices as a young woman fall under

Every moment in life will either make us or break us. Moments when you are offered a choice as a young woman because adulting is tough as so much is expected of you. You are offered the choice to obtain a degree from college, be a drop out or be uneducated. There are also moments when you will have to choose whether to be married or not. The choices in life are numerous, for some, they were guided through the right counseling to make the right decisions, while some  had to learn from their mistakes of making the wrong choices in life but what matters most is that we must choose as humans.
To make it even clear, we must learn to choose rightly as young women. There is a scripture that says "for women are the home builders". This is very true because the outcome of every successful home depends mostly on the woman. Ever been in those moments when you were  left with no option but to make a choice that is not just for your own interests but also accommodates the interests of others too.

Value || The Net Worth Of Your Personality As A Young Woman

To be a person of value, we must keep working on ourselves until we are better than how we were yesterday. The concept of value varies from persons to persons but there is one thing that i know, if you are not impacting your world as a human being here on earth then you would rather be taken and seen as somebody who is not valuable. Are there such people who are not valuable in one way or the other? I would say, there is none, as everyone impacts in different ways that they can, be it small or big.

August life updates ||Taking Stock #4

Wow people, August has finished finally. What a relief! *sighs*
This particular month felt so slow to me —exceptionally slow. Compared to the past months.

How was the month of August for you? I hope this month ended well for you as I love you so much to wish you bad.

You have to know that God handed to everyone his/her purpose in life and however we choose to achieve our dreams and purposes in life is not yours to determine. For we walk the sands of time through different paths.

It is not normal that as women, we live our lives in constant fear of what the society will think of us if we deviate from the cultures, norms and traditions of our society.

The students of the community secondary school, Akparabong, Ikom, Cross River State. 

Indecent dressing is a common problem in the society today especially by the youths.
To be indecently dressed means to deliberately expose ones body to the public, either to attract or not to attract attentions).
This attitude is not accommodated by the cultures and traditions of our society, specifically the Nigerian society and also in Africa.

Outfit Post ||5 quick & easy tips for wearing a gray singlet

 Gray  and black colors never fail any day  or any time. That's why I believe that  owning a gray singlet is a wardrobe staple  both during the sunny season or cold  season. A singlet doesn't just have to  be seen as  an indoor wear, you can use it  to add flare to your outfit whether  coperate or laid back casual.

I WANT TO BE RICH IN MY TWENTIES

Hey lovelies! I am here again, thank God for life. Hope you're doing excellently well? Yeah? OK, good.

Thank being said, I want to share something fantastic with you all.hopefully you can relate it to your lives and use it.

Let's dig in.

As a little girl growing up, I always dreamt of being rich in my twenties. You know the whole idea of having a house(home) of my own, a business empire, a job I'm happy at, a hubby, children and of course much money to keep my family and help humanities who are in need.

With regards to this, one of my short/long term goals in life is to be financially stable. I know it's not a day job but I am grinding hard(at least I try harder everyday). The feeling of sinking in financial insufficiency is a stigma - I hate it.

To be in debt because of that is even the worst stigma ever - I thank God debt and I repel each other.  It's taken me some discipline from being stingy to myself, prioritizing my needs, to investing and lots more. Want to find out? Yeah? Ok, read on.

 so I...

It has been three months into my National Youth Service Corp which means that I am through with the first quarter of the NYSC program.  I must say it's been fun, interesting and at the same time challenging.

If you are a Nigerian studying abroad or you are here in Nigeria studying or must have completed your study and awaiting your mobilization into the NYSC, please stick around to the end of this post because you will learn something. And to you who is either a working class or one thing or the other please share this post to every Nigerian graduate and Undergraduate you know.

Is self-love sufficient?

Is self-love sufficient? 

Hello friends how are you doing? Oh! I know the answer --You are fine. Why? Because you are alive today. 

Hmm! Noticed my first word? It's so nice that I think of my blog readers as friends because I believe that we are in some kind of way. At least through this little space of mine. OK enough of the chit chat lol, let's get to why you are here. 

Often times I have come across the hashtag self-love on different social media platforms and very few times I have used it to either caption my pictures or as a hashtag for my post on various social media platforms because I bought the idea -- SELF-LOVE. 

Even with the vast use of the "Self-Love" slogan, some human beings  still find it difficult to accept the idea of loving oneself. 

Even from the Biblical perspective, the word of God tell us that we should love our neighbors as ourselves ( Luke 6:31-33,Mark 12:31). 

The questions are: What if you don't even love yourself in the first place? 

How can you show love to another human being? 

Oh Wait! Do you even think that self-love is sufficient? 

Even though as human beings we are not perfect, but we are loved with our imperfections by a perfect God. ( Deuteronomy 32:4).

My point -- Yes self-love is sufficient because it could be what can get you out of that low self-esteem, self-doubt, self-loathing.

I have heard a lot of misconceptions  about "Self-love", misconceptions like:

Self-Love is self pity 

Self-Love is selfishness 

Self-Love is wallowing in denial 

Self-Love can lead to self-destruction. 

Personally, yes self-love is sufficient.
