RISE ABOVE THE STORM

Atop the podium,
Amidst them all.
I stood there,
As tall as my thin, shaky legs could carry me.

I saw the many eyes,
Staring at me.
And I caught sight of her eyes,
Boring straight into mine,
Telling me to believe in myself,
And begging me to hold it in.

I shut my eyes and pictured it,
Exactly what I wanted to be.
So when I flicked it open,
I knew I just had to be it.

I calmed myself and let it flow,
Keeping my head as high as I could.
And when I was done, I knew,
That whoever I had become,
Was the new version of me.

They were moved and wowed,
I nailed it, or so they said.
I again caught sight of her eyes,
This time filled with tears,
Those laced with happiness.

And with my eyes, I screamed,
I did it!

Whatever happens, rise above the storm and believe in Yourself, because there's no better you.

Life Expectations.

Life is all about challenges, obstacles and hurdles towards achieving the great height of success. Our reaction to these present the person we really are. Expectations in life is a very critical issue but so many of us sees it as a norm. Like everyone should have what they are expectant of! Dont get it twisted, when I mean expectation, I am referring to giving and receiving. Sometimes ago, a friend of mine was critically ill but all glory to God he struggled to recovery stage, at the point of recovery, he picked up his mobile and started listing out names of friends to eliminate from his life. Why? Some even go as far as saying; "Its God that allowed me know the kinda person you are" cos they at some point don't meet up to your intents. I really don't blame him, he expected so much from his friends with the thought that he once rendered one assistance or the other to them at some point which in turn make them indebted to him.

Waste no time

DON'T WASTE TIME. The first question that I ask when whenever anyone ask for my opinion on an idea or something they wanna venture into is 'Do you truly love it?' and when I get a confident 'Yes'. I'll say 'don't waste time'. Make the necessary changes and plans. Do things that would build you up in every aspect rather than involving in activities that does not contribute to your greatness, success or happiness. To help you manage your time, try to make a plan and stick to it no matter how difficult it seems to be. 'Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new' - Albert Einstein. Yes mistakes makes helps us learn alot of times. Don't keep repeating same process in which you've previously failed because that's insanity and you're only wasting and killing time. Choose or use an alternative if you think plan 'A' is failing, B to Z is there for use, just pick one up. Always say NO and mean...
