COLOR YOUR WORLD

 

Written by Chiderah Beulah Ojukwu-Ngele

There's nobody that has life going smooth for them all the time. Even motivational speakers have days of being unmotivated. They may have issues in their life that can be a thorn in the flesh and have resisted many remedies. Don't even think rich people are always happy. There are times they despair of life, hate life and even money. Things happen to everyone in life. Those who are highly placed have problems that even make them not savour the delicacy served on their exquisite dinning table.


Everyone, I repeat, everyone has their share of challenges that are really challenging. Don't even resort to social media to determine the condition of people's lives. Everything there is selected. When it's picture time, it's only natural for us to put on our best smile, use a nice background, dish out our best pose and to crown it all, to use a catchy caption to post it on social media. It doesn't show anything! Don't try to compare your life with pictures, videos or write-ups. You'll be getting it all wrong. 


Life is made up of several tracks and each one on their track. Focus on your track! You have enough troubles already to deal with than to fall into the temptation of comparison with other people. They have their problems but are wise enough not to expose them to the world.


Comedians are not always going about cracking jokes. They even use the difficulties of life to make people laugh. I think that is what we should endeavor to do. Look for more reasons to laugh. Quit any circle that bemoans life! You can't do that to yourself-to associate with people that make you see the darkness in an already dark world. Mbanu! See, you are here already, so don't agree to be the one people will use as a symbol of tragedy, depression and the likes.


Color your world my dear. Let this life be your canvas where you draw colourful pictures. Let people see light through you. Everything has its time and season. That challenge will pass and you'll enter into another one. C'est la vie mon amour!


Cheer up. You've come this far. You'll definitely move from here. Take it one day at a time!


With love from,

Chiderah.

REJECTION: A STEPPING STONE TO SELF-ACTUALIZATION

Image
Rejection can be your stepping stone to self-actualization. I know a lawyer who was rejected by a notable law office in Lagos even though he was previously offered a job position in the law office. It made him go back to the city in which he completed his national service. Shortly afterwards, he established his own law office in that city-a place considered unlikely for him to practice law, owing to where he hails from. Currently, he has become a shining light in darkness and has influence beyond the said city. I have experienced rejection which made me weak and disappointed. When it seemed that I was down to my last option, one more option came to mind. Amazingly, that door opened! It was better than the others and was what I really desired. You may be knocking on a door which you have passed the level. It may be a door which is not yet time for you to enter in or a door that is not for you to enter. Sometimes, we need to get rejected into a better place. We need disappointments to p...

IHUNANYA, THE IGBO CONCEPT OF LOVE

Image
Ihunanya means Love in Igbo language. When broken down, it reveals the Igbo people's concept of love. 'Ihu' means 'to see' 'nanya' means 'with the eyes' So ihunanya means 'To see with the eyes'. By this interpretation, it means that the Igbo people believe that love is a function of the sight. Love is inspired by what you see with your eyes and maintained by what you see with your eyes. Although this sounds like 'fake love' because love should not just lie with what a person sees but should be unconditional. However, there lies truth in that concept. When you love someone, you have eyes for that person only. You may see every other man or woman but your eyes (attention and interest) have been captured by just that one man or woman. That is why you hear people say, " I have eyes just for you" or " I see you ." These statements are traced to the Igbo concept of love which is seeing only that person with your eyes. I...

Benefits of Understanding and Accepting that you are not Irreplaceable

Image
The thought that you are not irreplaceable should not make your heart sink or scare you. If it does, it could mean that your self-esteem is not as healthy as it should be.  I would like you to note the following: 🌹You are special but not irreplaceable. 🌹You are a genius but life will always move on in your absence. 🌹You are the sweetest person in the world, but people will always have others walk into their lives when you are gone. 🌹You can be missed but not lived without. 🌹Your exact person and uniqueness cannot be replaced. However, there would always be someone that people would adapt to when you are gone, even if that person is a terrible option. It's a truth that most people are yet to tell themselves, that they are not irreplaceable. However, that is the truth that would set them free. It would marvel you how people can cope really well without you. But that shouldn't surprise you if you have understood and accepted the fact that no one is irreplaceable. You, as well...
