Do you love yourself absolutely and completely? Do you trust yourself totally and without any doubt?

My belief is that faith in the divine is manifested more inwardly as confidence than outwardly as obligation.

Faith is not performative and doesn't depend on rituals. If you love God, you will love God's creation, and the one you know best is yourself.

Loving yourself is not about selfishness. Happiness for most people comes from true selflessness without expectation. Parents would understand this in the feelings they have for their children. It is an extension of self-love and its purest manifestation.

Loving others completely cannot happen if you don't love yourself totally and appreciate them as the gifts of life.

Every experience is a gift. Every interaction is part of your story. Life is not a burden but a gift of perception and grace.

I just read something, and my thoughts went down a rabbit hole of an old relationship that didn't end well. Do very organized people find it hard to find partners because they keep seeking perfection?

This person I once dated, who loved perfection and was very organized, is still single after over two decades. The person I married is even more organized and, in the last week, has rearranged my kids' bedrooms and the entire kitchen and pantry because the housekeeper took a week off.

I learned something from the previous relationship that I took with me and helped me get the best person: you have to keep trying and improving. What dooms a relationship with a perfectionist is not the lack of perfection; it is the lack of trying to be better.

Perfectionists are not perfect people; that is the craziest part. They are people who want to keep improving the current version of themselves, and they find peace in the process, not necessarily in the destination. I found that part also about myself and my work.

I also found that someone can love you because you are crazy and passionate about something, even though they are crazy and passionate about something else. At the end of the day, it is not about surface-level compatibility but about deeper compatibility in having a sense of purpose. This is why I have always said that dating apps are fraudulent.

Someone responded to an article she loved and asked people who liked it to send her applications via email. It is humorous and simple, but if you try to understand who she is, you will see that she is very organized.

Chaotic people frequently win over organized people when the chaos follows a pattern. My wife saw the pattern in my chaos, and we fell in love. Yes, very organized people can fall in love with people who organize their chaos.

Chaos can be the ladder into a deeper kind of love. My cofounder used to tell me that he saw that his girlfriend had walls around her to protect herself, but he didn't want to destroy those walls, as they would protect both of them later when he was inside her circle. They have been happily married for almost 3 decades. The wall of perfection is stronger each day.

Bad things can happen to anyone at any time, but the chances of bad things happening to you more often increase when you have less control over your life and circumstances. Having control is called “Agency.” People sometimes misunderstand religion as not having agency.

Don’t talk about negative things, because the more you speak of them, the more power you give them. Speak of hope, speak of strength, speak of possibility what you focus on, grows.

Life will knock you down. You will feel weak, unmotivated, even hopeless. But it is your choice whether you stay down or rise again. Fail once, stand again. Fail twice, stand again. Better to fall a thousand times than to live forever with the question, what if I had kept going?

What Pastor Sam Adeyemi said

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

The British head of state is an unelected hereditary monarch called Charles Windsor, and he Britiah upper house of parliament (House of Lords) is made up of 800 unelected life members drawn from the UK elite who have the power to introduce legislation and delay bills from the (elected) House of Commons.

The more you step out of the mental cage that colonisers created for you, the more you realise that "democracy" is just a story they have told very successfully - the power structure at the core of their society is NOT democratic, and the core processes that define their societies are guided by elite consensus and NOT 1-man-1-vote.

If African countries have competent leadership that understands and aspires to sovereignty, Africans should learn to completely ignore these white people when they start using their loaded terms like "junta" and "regime" to narratively attack their legitimacy.

Ibrahim Traore has been in power in Burkina Faso since 2022. The House of Windsor has been in power in the UK since 1826, when it was still known by its original German name "House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha." Before having anything to say about Ibrahim Traore and Burkina Faso, the BBC should first explain to British people why they have spent 199 years under the control of one family and its 800 elite associates from finance, industry, arts & culture, and academia.

They should fix their "junta" at home in Westminster before rubbernecking their long oyibo necks 6,000 km across the Atlantic at a country on another continent. Nobody is buying this nonsense.
