ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE


 

I think that the way God designed life is that it be in stages. Stages that come and go. These stages also appear to be designed in a way that you get to only live them once.

When I entered the university newly, before going back every semester, my mum would pack my bags. Even during the times that I tried to grow up and do my thing, I would make a mess of it and she would repack it beautifully. Sincerely, I enjoyed those moments.

Fast-forward to now, this is my last semester in the university and on the day that I should pack my bags for school, my mum is seen nowhere around me or whatever I’m doing. But she did well to remind me to pack well because she wouldn’t be doing that anymore for me.

Literally, this experience teaches that time happens to every stage in one’s life and the good news is, there’s absolutely nothing that you can do about this. There could be something though and that thing is to make sure to enjoy every moment and stage and also make the most of it.

Therefore, it is important that you be a child when you’re supposed to be one (I am not in support of children who don’t behave like children. This may not be their fault but a child should be a child).







Be a teenager when it is time for you to be one (Don’t let nobody clap for you because you are growing up so fast and being an adult when all you are supposed to be is a teenager).







Make sure to be an adult when life says you should be one (There won’t be no pardoning of your sins even when you act like a child. I assure you that you’ll be punished as an adult).








Just learn to savor every moment of your life so that when the next stage comes, you wouldn’t spend much time dwelling on the past and how to go back to where you can’t be anymore.

    Oh, the beauty and uniqueness of our stages. I especially reckon with the part about letting kids be kids( even when they're prodigies, we should afford kids the opportunity of enjoying the innocence of that stage).

    Thank you for this piece. All stages have their job in molding us

      You're completely right. The beauty, opportunities or even privileges that come with these stages should be enjoyed to the fullest more especially because there's no going back to them.

    Great piece dear. Life is actually in stages and we should be very sure we enjoy the stages but we should learn to dwell more on the present if the past wasn't really what we wanted it to be.
    Thank you so much for this.

      Yes, you're right. Because life does not always go as planned shouldn't stop us from focusing on the present and making the most of it.

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...

The Best Way to Tell your Truth

 The truth hurts but it should not kill. Truth can kill when you tell it in an unkind manner. I'm particularly concerned about how you tell your truth when it comes to love and friendship.  So many persons in the name of correction have actually ended up worsening the cases they tried to correct. Therefore, there's need to pay attention to the manner through which the things that need to be said in your relationships are said so that you don't tear down the walls you're trying to patch. Don't use "calling a spade, a spade or saying things the way they are" to mask wickedness. It's so low. Don't do it. For awhile, I've been a preacher of intents and focusing on the heart while overlooking the things that are actually being said in the name of love, but if I'm being honest with you, it is very hard. You know why it's hard to focus on intents? It is because the weight of things being said sometimes overshadows the intents. It makes us unab...
