How to Deal with Difficult People

November 16, 2018

I hope you would be convinced to know that it is possible to stay calm, maintain peace and avoid conflict. Bear in mind though that these tips will, for now, only guarantee a shift in your own mindset and not a shift in the mindset of the people you would be dealing with.

The change you seek to see most of the time needs to take place in you first before it takes place in others. It’s a process. … More How to Deal with Difficult People

4 Kinds of Friends you Should Avoid as a Teenager

November 1, 2018

It is a great thing to mingle with friends but greater to understand the fact that “Not all friends are to be mingled with”. It is a great thing to have tons of friends but it is a much greater thing to realize that “not all friends are really friends”. You don’t make friends to whirl time away or kill boredom.

Everyone wants to be listened to, we all want people to acknowledge us when we speak, we want someone who we can tell our problems in order to console us or offer possible solutions.

Don’t Awake Love Until It Is Time

July 12, 2018

To everything
There is a time and season

A time to live
A time to die
A time to gather
A time to cast away
A time to talk
A time to remain quiet

So is there a time for everything
You do as a teenager

There was a time when you were a baby
Mummy fed you
Daddy carried you
You rode piggyback on uncle
Aunty bought you lots of sweets

That time passed and now
Adolescence sets in
Those hormones start working
And you feel like
You have arrived
Mummy said
You became stubborn
But you are only
“Responding to those hormones”
You started seeing the red blood

And your shoulders are growing broader
You now use lip gloss
And you now wear jean

But don’t forget that right timing
Is crucial despite the seeming “maturity”

Don’t forget that when you eat your
Dinner in the afternoon
You have to sleep without food
At night

Dear teenager, there is a time for everything you do. Although, it might feel like you are the most beautiful girl around now who the guys are after, or it seems like you are the Boy Crush Everyday for all the girls in your class. It is important that you are discerning and do the right thing at the right time.
