Beyoncรฉ really ate when she said, "a lot of who I am is reserved for the people I love and trust" because, yeah. Not everyone deserves the open, vulnerable, free part of you. Not everyone deserves your commentary, your mind, your ideas, your personality.
Keep parts of you to yourself and those who earn it and deserve it.
I flew with @KenyaAirways last week, and it was the WORST EXPERIENCE ever.
1. The plane was parked a gate away from where passengers were called to board. A gate away. So why use that gate then? Heaven alone knows.
And get this - we had to walk on the skybridge, outside the airport building, down the flight of stairs into the tarmac and make our trek to the aeroplane to board the planeโฆ OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT BUILDING, AND it was raining.
Yes, raining!
So all the passengers had to WALK IN THE RAIN to board the plane.
And we then had to wait outside for the passengers ahead of us to board. So, the rest of us WAITED IN THE RAIN.
We eventually boarded, drenched!
Absolutely crazy.
2. The staff at the boarding gate were chewing gum, talking amongst themselves, and treating passengers as if they were doing us a favour.
Gum.
Loud laughing.
Rolling eyes and demanding clients.
Kuningi nje.
3. My bag was badly damaged โ really badly. While the bag is expensive (no need to get into the cost or the brand), they say I should have the bag delivered to them so they can take it to โtheir assessorโ to decide whether to replace or repair it.
By the way, the bag is so badly damaged that it can't be fixed.
I flyโฆ A lot.
I have already boarded over 40 flights this year. Last year, I travelled to over 20 countries.
I live in airports & airlines.
I regularly have unpleasant experiences on commercial flights.
I am not a sissy. I donโt complain. You take the good with the bad.
But I can tell you this for free: this KQ experience was horrendous.
It would have been more pleasant to pour Tabasco sauce into my naked eye & then blindly stir into a lunar eclipse.
Anyway, back to your regular scheduled program.

Not really. Sometimes he gets takeaways on his way home, and then you have lunch and date nights. On other days, you eat bread or leftovers, and sometimes he cooks.
I've seen men destroy colleagues, spread rumors, block opportunities for others... and then wonder why their own blessings feel blocked. they're not blocked. They're just... waiting for the account to settle.
LIES YOU SHOULD NOT TELL YOURSELF
1. WHAT IS MINE WILL ALWAYS FIND ME: Who told you that? Abeg get up and go get it...Fortune favours the Brave!
2. THIS IS WHO I AM, I CANNOT CHANGE: No Sir/Ma, Times are changing , your adaptability to changing Seasons will always put you ahead of others. Did you hear a Wise man when he said- Madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
3. I DONโT NEED ANYONE, I CAN MAKE IT ON MY OWN: No matter how disappointed you are with people, you must need someone at some point to help you navigate through lifeโs hurdles. God Ordained Relationships are answered Prayers.
4. MY CHARACTER DOES NOT MATTER, I CAN MAKE IT REGARDLESS: Some habits are blessing blockers. Be Careful!
5. I AM TIRED MEANS I SHOULD GIVE UP: This Week, you might get exhausted mentally, physically etc. issues might stress and attempt to drain you. Itโs okay to be tired....REST and hit the road again...NO GIVE UP MENTALITY here!
6. I AM WHAT I DO : Overtime , you probably may have disappointed yourself with your actions but always remember- YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO. Your Identity is who God says You are not what youโve done.
7. I STILL HAVE TIME: Youโve got no time to waste time. Every time you are lazy, someone is working real hard. Every new day brings you closer to your next birthday- I donโt think you have as much time as you say you have. FACE YOUR FRONT. BE ALL IN with your Purpose and MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!
Hope this made a little sense...
