Is it possible for one to be so exhausted by life's many troubles that one wishes for a total life of meaningless silence and even death?  Absolutely!  Many years ago, a man once killed about 400 prophets after winning a bet. While he was thinking of celebrating his victory, he got an info that a bounty has been placed on his head by Mrs J.  He ran for his life, hid in a mountain, looked into the heaven and asked that his life be taken from him.  In his words, 'I have had enough, let me die, I am no better than my forefathers '. A guy who is a medical doctor and has been applying for jobs unsuccessfully for years can one day decide to relocate to his father's house in the village and start selling matches.🕯️ Two people can be tired of trying to make their relationship work after many attempts and moments of stress. 💔 Burnout can even come from the prolonged stress at work. Life can press one to the wall that a person watch everything built to collapse without makin...

Banky W who is a popular music artiste was invited to audition for the role he played in the Wedding Party.  He said he got to the venue and found some strong and popular actors than himself who were also invited to audition for the role.  He admitted that these were top people in the movie industry. He mentioned how that he was scared at first but stayed to audition anyway. His chemistry with Adesua in playing lovers was unmatched, hence his selection.🥰 Isn't this how many people react when they mount a stage and standing next to them are people that are at the very top? I tell you it can be intimidating just by standing in the presence of a person who seems to be more popular than you in your industry - food, music, fashion, movie etc.  Even without them saying anything to disparage you, you have admitted defeat despite your many nights of preparation, practice and rehearsals, only to throw it all away because of the presence of a person who doesn't have time thinking ...

Back in secondary school, we were all always punished for making noise.  We had too many extroverts that liked telling gists🤣 Once the noise started, a teacher will come in, ask us all to stand, raise our hands and close our eyes. This included both those of us who were quiet and the noisemakers themselves. 😌 But it was fun sha.😁 In SS 1, we were taught in Economics that resources are limited.  This means that you need to make do with what you have to meet your needs. Next to that was the concept of scarcity.  It means that when you find what or who looks like what you want you must hold on to that as you may never find anything like that even if the thing, opportunity or person wants out.  From that point our minds were framed to get too detached to preferred outcomes. It is reason once there's a sign that we are losing out, we get agitated and depressed. If you get a job that pays you well and all of a sudden, the company decides to downsize with your name on th...

A man visited his preferred hospital for his regular monthly checkup and was told that there is a cockroach 🪳 close to his heart given the X-ray result.  Cockroach?? He screamed.😨 The doctor pointed to the cockroach as seen in the X-ray result. The doctor gave him some drugs and asked him to prepare for a surgical work in 7 days.  The man went home sad with tears in his eyes.  He couldn't tell his wife at first but opened up about it when he couldn't sleep. They both started crying as they have been married for 8 years and have two kids. Every little sensation in his body, he shouted and credited it to the cockroach.  After a few days, his wife seeing that her husband was looking sad asked that they visit a doctor friend.  They visited him and he was surprised at the 'cockroach' in the body news so he asked to conduct another X-ray in his hospital for the Man. When the X-ray was done, the result came out perfect. He hugged his wife happily😁💃🏼 While, they we...

There is an old saying that 'the shadow of a dog never bit anyone.'  Is it not surprising that we as humans naturally most times assume the worst will happen to us? So we prepare our minds for failure and we even verbalize it. We go ahead to defend that negative stance by saying ' It is good to expect failure so that when you fail, you will not feel the pain that much.'.🙆🏽‍♂️ Many people have said many negatives about themselves that have come through and they pride in it by saying to their friends 'You know I told you that it won't work'.  At the root of this is 'fear'.  An MC about to anchor an event has already meditated and even told his friends how the event won't go well. He has concluded in his mind that the audience won't respond to him, the mics won't work and how he won't be liked.  On the day of the event, everything he meditated comes to pass. He gets back and tells his friends how he knew it that the event will be a mes...

Why is it that some of the saddest moments or feelings mostly tend to come after a moment of tremendous joy and good news?  Just imagine that you were happy about something, could be a job or a relationship and some moments later, you become sad and have almost the exact opposite feeling of what you once felt. A friend walked up to me and told me how that he asked a lady to be his, she said YES, he was happy but just two weeks later, he started feeling unhappy and thoughts about if he made a bad move filled his heart. He was sincere enough to tell me the lady didn't do anything wrong. So that I am clear on what advice to give, I asked him, 'How long have you both known?' He said 3 years. Then, what he was feeling cannot be the consequence of infatuation nor was it situationally or environmentally influenced.  I mean, a guy who has been desiring a lady for three years and she said 'Yes' to him and then almost immediately starts feeling unhappy.  This applies to secur...
