The SS 2

These series started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe), you can read the Kick off post here, and Part 1. 

Apparently, the contestants for Big Brother Nigeria this year have been quite entertaining, (I know someone would ask why I watch BBN; I can learn from anything, just the positives…in fact why am I explaining myself?) during Ifu Ennada’s (you don’t know her? Google her? Or rather search for her on Twitter, she’s quite popular there, I can’t come and be explaining who she is!) eviction interview one statement she made (that gave me an entire perspective of her personality) was “I chose to be intentionally single this year”. I was like, give that lady a round of applause! 

Being intentionally single doesn’t mean you are not beautiful enough to catch a man. It doesn’t mean you are not smart enough to find a partner. It doesn’t even determine your financial status to attract or retain the ladies. It simply means you are deciding to enjoy every moment of your singleness. 

Society says - yes, you are single, but they won’t complete the statement – not alone! Some would use semantics and say when you are single you are lonely, they change the definition of what single means, presenting a negative narrative.

Reality check; alone is not single; alone is not lonely! Learn to love your singleness.

Society would chant – your clock is ticking, yes, it is. (or you thought I’ll say something different here? – time waits for no one yo!) They would even quote Ecclesiastes 3.

Reality check; there is time for everything; ergo, a time to be single. Let us learn to apply this phrase even in this situation. Which is why it’s important to maximise your singleness. 

This is food for thought, just for you:

‘God created man first, then woman, before relationships (marriage), so He is very much concerned with you first – single, before the ‘ships’.

Stay tuned for part 3.


With love,

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel...

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

By
In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can...
