For those of you dating, you’re picking the person whose going to be with you on the worst day of your life…
The day you have to bury a parent.
The day your dog of 14yrs doesn’t get to come home from the vet.
The day the doctor calls you with bad news.
The day your emotions are so messed up you can’t tell what makes you feel the way you do.
The day you may lose your job.
The day you may need critical help with. your health.
The day business may be so bad, you crash back to ground zero.
And somehow, people are still dating as if they’re casting a movie roles…
“Oh, do they give me butterflies, are they exciting, are they tall or not, she doesn’t have ass, her boobs are small…”
Life’s not gonna care if they were tall enough when it punches you in the mouth.
And when that day comes, you’re not going to give a hoot if they said the right thing at the right time or if they’re 6’3 or taller.
You’re going to care if they showed up.
You’re going to care if they stood by your bedside and handled everything, when you were disintegrating from the inside out.
The older I get, the more I realize I careless about if I want to spend a Saturday night with this person, and I care more about if this person is willing to show up for me if my life falls apart. Because inevitably, bad stuff is going happen, and who’s standing by your side at the end of the day is truly what matters.
Peace and love!
a man who protects his peace is far more dangerous than a man who protects his ego.
pay solid attention;
look, if you protect your ego you have to react to everything, every insult, every opinion, every comment and every perceived disrespect. you think you look strong but in reality you just look easy to control cos everyone who can pull your strings to trigger you owns you.
but a man who protects his peace is dangerous. he can sit in a room full of disrespect and chooses to go home without saying a word
not because he's weak or scared but because his identity isn't tied to their opinion. he knows that fighting or arguing with a fool just proves that there are two of them. he doesn't need that. protecting your ego is expensive, it can cost you opportunities, relationships and harmony but protecting your peace builds someone nobody can take away from you.
don't always have the last word, keep the peace, keep your peace. it's the better deal.
She saw her mother cooking twice and called it slavery.
But,
She didn't see her father
- Coming from small towns and villages to the city
- Working hard to buy land, build a house
- Provide a good education and life for his kids
- Never taking a day off
- Sacrificing all his dreams and his entire life for their well-being.
But no man will call it slavery or oppression.
We see it as our duty. All fathers deserve respect.
NOT AN ACCIDENT, but if you're seeing this on MAY 24th, the winning era begins for you. Relationships. Health. Wealth. Everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing gets better from here. You're so lucky.
One thing about God? He will pull you out of a situation you created with your own decisions… and still hold you like you never disappointed Him. I don’t understand that kind of love 😭😭😭
Back in 2021, I met a lady who told me about this app where blind people could video call volunteers whenever they needed help with something.
Out of curiosity, I downloaded it and signed up.
I still remember how surreal it felt the first time I got a call. Someone was simply trying to decide what to wear and needed me to tell them if the colors matched. Another person needed help checking something on their TV screen.
And there I was, in my room in Nigeria, helping complete strangers from different parts of the world through a random video call.
It wasn’t paid or anything. It was just volunteering.
But I remember being so fascinated by the idea that technology could connect people in such a deeply human way. For a few minutes, you literally became someone else’s eyes.
Till today, that remains one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced online.
