WATCH OUT FOR ‘APRIL HAPPINESS/SMILING CHALLENGE’

Hello friends, how was your weekend? Mine was stressful and at the same time exciting. The events in the country these days have led to some personal damages. Almost everybody is angry and therefore cannot even afford to smile. Federal workers and state workers are not left out as they are the major victim of whatever change is said to be going on in the country. Some days ago I came to discover that this unhappy/anger bug has really spread even to some special people who cannot do but smile and infect people around them with their smiles. The smiles suddenly disappeared and what is left on their face is wrinkles maybe from excess thinking, discouragement or anger.

It didn’t occur to me at first that I was also getting infected by this bug until somebody called my attention to it. I just noticed some lively parts of me were no longer active and I was thinking it would pass with time. I no longer smile like I used to. People no longer say ‘Joy, you are so funny. Thanks for making my day’. I also discovered that some habits were leaving me; habits that are really essential for my personal growth and development. I now find what I used to enjoy, boring. And I thought to myself, I’m not the only one in this mess, there are a lot of people out there like me. So what can I do to help myself and others?

After surfing the net for clues for some hours, I stumbled on one of my favourite blogs and I saw this Happiness Challenge. It was really amazing so I decide to do something like that on my blog. So watch out for the ‘APRIL SMILING/HAPPINESS CHALLENGE’ which will be coming up in April on www.cianajoyinspires.com. I tell you, it will be amazing, it will be fun, and I promised that whether you like it or not, if you stick and follow through the whole challenge, you will thank me at the end of the month *winks*.

Note: gifts will be given to the most consistent participants.

Trust me; it will be worth your time and interest.

Great week ahead.

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours. Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year, this, was, consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year. The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March, I woke up, looked into the mirror, told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed, sometimes, too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain, I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY AIMING AT?

Hello guys! How is your day going? Well mine is going well and besides I just had my lunch and seriously it was delicious (winks). Yea, I have really been busy lately but I really thought I need to drop something today. So here I’m again with my pen always writing something to inspire you and making you thinking for the rest of your day. Trust me, it helps. What Are You Really Aiming At? I mean, what is (are) exactly your goal(s)? There are too many people in too many cars, in too much of a hurry. Going too many directions, to get nowhere for nothing. Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a big difference between a ‘must’ and ‘want’. So many times, we are just too busy doing nothing. If you don’t have clearly defined goals, you will end up helping others to achieve theirs. If you chase two rabbits at the same time, there is a tendency that both will escape. What you set your heart on, determines how you will spend you...
