Do you have what it takes?

This is one question that almost everyone asks themselves before taking any step-in life that seems huge. I also asked myself when I was getting ready for a debate for the first time in my secondary school.

I wasn't sure if I had what it takes to stand before the crowd and defend a cause. "Am I going to sound convincing enough?" "Were they going to believe what I had to say?" I had plethora of questions but these questions were only going to be answered if I got out on that field and did the debate.

Truth is, you'll never know if you have what it takes for a job until you take a step and "put yourself out there" like a friend once advised me to.

This isn't something you've never heard before but you're really doing yourself no good by waiting to figure everything out before taking a step.

For years, I fancied with the idea of creating a blog. I would read about blogs, go to other people's blogs (already made people) and come back to tell myself that I didn't have what it takes to put myself out there like the others.

But today I'm here, out here, and you could go out there yourself too. Just take the first step and see how things work out.

A WORLD OF SO MANY VOICES

"If it gives you peace, do it" is what my sister once told me when I was seeking for her advice on a particular situation and this is so much more than good advice. At the end of the day, I found the solution to my problem not by following conventions but simply by listening to what I really wanted to do. I hope you realize early that no one's experience is accepted as the standard and that there are situations that would require your voice and yours only. There are no hard and fast rules to situations like this. At the very end, you've got to choose your self. Your peace. Your voice. Here you would answer, "what works for you?" and not how everyone has been going about it? It's a world filled with many voices; speaking out what they've probably tried and what they think works, but you must learn to have a voice and also know when to pay attention to what it's saying.

IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!

You may think an unhealthy relationship is far from you, but I can't guarantee you that if you or your partner falls into the following category.  Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay tuned for this unveiling. 1. The people whose hobby is table turning: Are you familiar with the term "table turning?" If you're not, I'll tell you what it means. Do you know those people who never admit that they are at fault or believe that they have a hand in any wrongdoing but always find a way to make everything your fault? They are the table turners. So, he or she does something that is clearly wrong but by the time the story is told 3-4 times, they manage to make it your fault and you end up apologizing for what you don't know. 2. The people who "call a spade, a spade": These ones with their mouths sharp as razor specialize in telling their kind of truth. Their mic is always on. All they know about being supportive is calling a spade a spade and saying things th...

How being an expressive person helps me in my relationship with God

On good days(almost everyday), you can call me an expressive person. By expressive, I show and tell exactly how I feel. I just hate to sweep my feelings under the carpet and even if I try to do so, it doesn't help. Therefore, I'm always like, "I couldn't have done stuff without you. Thank you so much" or "That thing you did to me yesterday, I don't like it" or "you talked down on me and made me feel so little, don't ever do it again." No matter how hard I try, I'm not sure I will ever join the "be the mature person and be silent" gang. I won't survive it. Many times, if I can't say how I feel, I literally feel like something's choking me. Being a Christian who is working towards perfection, somehow, I learnt to apply this expressiveness in my relationship with God and it has really helped me.  So I literally talk about everything and anyhow I feel. I just tell it to God and it helps because, He would know how e...
