Do you Know your Life Purpose?

Do you know where you are heading?

In previous years, I usually wondered (still do) what the purpose of my life was/is. You see, I live my life as each day presented. I honestly can't remember being purposeful in living, except passing exams and getting a job.

My thought...

In Lagos, during my commute to work and back, I always marveled at the traffic and how everyone was in a rush somewhere. The competition on the road was crazy. Meditating upon this scenario, it comes to mind that everybody's destination is different just as their starting point. Along the way, you come across those with vehicles that are broken down for different reasons. You also observe people who need to slow down because of the portholes, this also depends on the lane you are. Of course, those who are more familiar with the route know just when to avoid those lanes. Even with your experience sometimes, just when you hoped you could change lanes, you discover, there is no opportunity for you so you end up crawling through the ditch too.

For the racers, there is this smile of accomplishment when you overtake vehicles, and sometimes you also take a glance at those who overtake you; this observation seems to bring out the competitor in you. Some drivers don't even notice you, all eyes for them is on the road until you make them hit the break abruptly. 
There are always some vehicles and drivers who stand out because you can't help but notice their unusual color, their sleekness or rickety nature, their speed or recklessness, or confusion.

All this goes on until you get to your exit and join a new race.

What am I rambling about? Maybe LIFE, can be likened to the human and vehicular movement on the road.
You set out with a destination in mind. You already know how long it would take you to get there because you have gone that route before or you got the information from Google Maps or someone. In life, you have to set a goal (I believe this is your purpose). Then you make plans on how to achieve it, just like you make a plan for your trip. How early do you need to leave to arrive at the time you planned? How much do you need to make this trip, do you go in your private vehicle or along with someone or public transport? Do you buy more fuel, or carry a meal?

The most important thing, however, is knowing where you are going. 

Do you know where you are going?

Gratitude 2018

This is a post of gratitude.

So much happened to me this year, good and not so good, but I want to end 2018 on a happy note.

I am extremely grateful for my baby. He is the best thing to have happened to me this year. He will be 1 year in a bit and he’s growing darn fast.

I am grateful for my husband. Yes, I finally got married to a handsome dude, and he turned my life around for better.

My Parents. I’m grateful they are alive and healthy. I go into panic anytime they say they don’t feel too well. I pray God keeps them longer to see their great grand children. I have good plans for them.

My Grandpa. Sometimes, I thing he is the only one who loves me unconditionally; and I love him too. God, please keep him longer.

My Siblings are really amazing. I might not live up to my role as the firstborn child, but they are doing fantastic on their own. I wish them happiness.

My In-laws. My parents keep telling me that I married into a good family and I believe I did. Love lives in the family.

My Besties. These two ladies are the only people that keep in touch with me. I don’t know why they love me, but they do. And I am so grateful for that. I do not know how to reciprocate this love, but I feel blessed having them in my live, and I wish them the best things of life.

America!!! My husband brought me to NewYork. Not like I couldn’t have made it on my own, lol, but he did. I’m happy to be here.

My all-round Experiences. I don’t know how else to be grateful for this, but I am. Dear Experience, I hope you help me secure a good job in the New Year.

I was going to add friends to the list. But I don’t know if I have any. People don’t like me. I feel it in my bones. I was going to say I don’t care, but I do. I want to be liked. Can you imagine, even on cyber space, People don’t like me! I drop comments on popular pages and posts can you believe nobody ever likes them? Phew!! There is hope.

There are still lots of things to put on my gratitude list, but I’ll stop here now.

Tomorrow is a new year. I intend to do more than I did in 2018. See you then.

Love you and Bye.

Last Post for the Year 2015

Hi Lovelies!!!

It's been a long while since I was last in here. I missed you guys.

On my way to work, I was trying to recap my highlights/ achievements for the year. Unfortunately, I could not recall much. However, Yesterday, I made a feat of driving across the 3rd Mainland bridge. This bridge is one I always feared being on. But my Colleague, gave me his car and insisted I drove home- take about conquering one's fears.

I attempted my professional exams this year. Although I had a reference, I was glad I made effort to write it. I will be concluding it in March 2016, by the grace of God...and if i'm serious enough to pick my books and start reading. I can't say I gave my best in my first attempt. I was too lazy to read. I also tried cutting cost, by avoiding any paid tutorials. Those monies, i will still have to spend, even more, talk about penny wise pound foolish.

I met some people this year, guys actually. They basically are coming for marriage, and of course, some for flings. On this topic, I'll pass, because I really don't like any of them. The one I somehow loved, an architect like me, did something that made me wary. Asked me for a loan of 100k in only two weeks of knowing him. That was like a bad sign. But i still think about him. and I have not been able to like anyone else since then. There is even one who my family sorta likes. He's based in Warri, with a good job. He's also quite generous and maybe caring, but he irritates me. I hate the way he speaks and he's darn ugly. He dresses OK, but there's no love for him. I feel pressure from my people about him. He has some scores to settle with me, cos I discovered somethings about his past he lied about. I hate liars.

I guess I'll stop here, but let me drop one major resolution for next year. 

I will not allow envy of jealousy take hold of me. I happy and comfortable with who I am, what I have. I know who I am.


Wishing You and Amazing, Awesome 2016.
