FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS


 


There's something that's often defined as a concept but in this short article, I'd like to consider it a lifestyle.  Hitting the nail on the head, it's called forgiveness.  

You hear people say things like "I hate sorrys" I don't like being told sorrys" I don't like people being apologetic towards me, BLA BLA BLA.

Well I've come as the smasher of this table. For as long as you are alive, people would definitely step on your toes. Infact, there are levels to this stepping of toes thing. Some step on your toes, realize it , and apologize immediately. Some step on your toes and you'd have to remind them that they stepped on your toes! For others, they obviously know it's wrong to have stepped on your toes but they feel like you do not deserve an apology. 

The most hurtful for me is when loved ones create that void in my heart. I think it's safe to call this toes stepping thing "a norms". Because, as humans, we are prone to picking offences, depending on our various temperaments.

The   purpose of my article  is to help you become selfish about "Forgiveness"

 

For some people, they put pressure on you, until you forgive them. They show their sincerity and efforts to ensure everything works out. While some are indifferent. They simply do not care.

Either ways, it doesn't change anything about the way you feel. Your heart remains heavy and hurting. Forgiving someone can be hard especially when it took you off guard. The beauty of letting go is when you do so even before the offender tenders his or her apology.

Other good that comes with forgiveness is the fact that;

  • Forgiveness is the greatest revenge you could ever have (hurting someone because they first hurt you cannot make you feel better).

  • It is positive vibes galore.

  • The best reward of forgiveness is peace of mind.

  • Your healing process starts.

  • You'd be in control of your mind.

  • Forgiveness boosts your self worth.

So you see that there's a whole lot forgiveness can offer. Stay happy, let everything go today✌. Happy New Year.🏽


Yours Truly,

BEFORE YOU COLLECT THE RING

Image
JUST BEFORE YOU COLLECT THE RING!   “We broke up” Helen’s face fell as she painfully let those three words out. I pulled her closely and hugged her. Should I console or congratulate her? What a dilemma! I will console her, then congratulate her later on, I decided.  Let’s not even lie, that relationship seemed toxic. I will console her because letting go of her four years (which also translates to 1,460 days) relationship was no joke and indeed a hard thing to overcome. But with the knowledge of why they broke up, I really wanted to congratulate my friend.  Helen and I had been childhood friends who got lucky enough to have gained admission together into the higher institution. She got her dream course which was Biochemistry, while I wanted to study law, but got Mass Communication. Well I didn’t mind. It was a great turnaround for me in the end.  Before we gained admission, we had an agreement not to have boyfriends for the first three years of our lives at the ...

Do you feel lost? I mean you feel like your life isn’t taking shape, there are some things you should be doing but the future doesn’t seem bright at all?  You feel like you should be doing more but everything just looks scattered and you can’t figure it out.  Please continue reading, I’d love to share my story with you. Although I am not there yet, I am sure your read will be worth it.  Please permit me to share my story of how I kickstarted my career. A journey of multiple tears, anxiety, but I pulled through and I am still pulling through. I say so because as I scale higher, the journey gets tougher but indeed fulfilling.

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE… Being in love with someone is a beautiful thing, but do you know what is more beautiful? It is when that person loves you right back! Like, you can obviously feel the energy and vibe from this person too! I have been in a lovey-dovey situation where all I could think about was this boy. He stepped into my life and stayed at the center, taking me off guard. The depth of my love for him crept into my daily activities. So while carrying out my daily task, thoughts of him danced in and out of my head. Thoughts of, if he had eaten, how he could cope without hearing from me in hours. The feelings graduated into something deeper as we improved communication. It got to the point where I’d see nice things at the store and I'd start to fit it on him, I just wanted to show him off to the world, all in my head! Let me just stop here! Yes, I can be a lover girl and I’m owning it with my full chest. So enough of me, let’s talk about you. Have you ever been in this situatio...
