Inspirational: #In Your Best Interest

You've always had the flair for writing,  for literature,  for books,  for arts.  You are a very brilliant person so naturally you can survive in any class you find yourself - arts,  social sciences or pure sciences. Your parents have always being proud of you cause you've always blazed the trail.  What parents wouldn't be proud???

In primary school,  you were the best student and that saw you going for every competition and winning medals upon medals. When it was time for the "standard living" play,  the doctor spot was reserved for you. "Doctors are the smartest people in the world so you are the most suitable for the spot" your teacher had told your mom.

Senior secondary school saw you sashaying effortlessly into the pure science classes,  you are a natural, just like Einstein.  you made A's with so much swags and ease.  Again your teachers,  parents, family members,  friends and village people said you can't waste your brain laidat you have to study medicine because any other cause is just waste of good brain, this is #InYourBestInterest

Today you are a medical doctor,  you can't stomach the sight of blood,  you don't have the passion to save lives even though it sounds like a really cool thing, you are simply frustrated,  you really hate the job, you are in a fix because the pay is good,  I mean really good.

Finally finding your voice and the right words,  you say to your mom,  "mom,  I'm quitting my job."  she breaks into a shrill cry and goes on and on about why your shouldn't quit,  about the embarrassment your decision would cost you,  about how she will no longer be called "mama dokita",  about how quitting your unfulfilling job isn't in your best interest,  about how every decision she's ever made was only #InYourBestInterest and Yada Yada Yada.

The truth is this,  nobody really cares about you,  your dreams or your ambitions above their personal interests.  Be them parents,  siblings,  friends,  girlfriends or enemies. Their gain maybe only the name, the pride they feel knowing there's someone who does their bidding.

Today, take charge of your life,  walk away from everything that doesn't make you happy, find your peace! 😘😘😘

INSPIRING STORY: LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright. A natural leader. The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project. But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper. When he got angry, he usually said, and often did, some very hurtful things. In fact, he seemed to have little regard for those around him, even friends. So, naturally, he had few. “But,” he told himself, “That just shows how stupid most people are!”  As he grew, his parents became concerned about this personality flaw, and pondered long and hard about what they should do. Finally, the father had an idea. And he struck a bargain with his son. He gave him a bag of nails, and a BIG hammer. “Whenever you lose your temper,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back. Hit that nail as hard as you can!” Of course, those weathered oak boards in th...

POEM: I’M ME. I’M NOT BORN TO IMPRESS OTHERS

I’m only me. That is all I can be. No more, no less, so don’t second guess. I love, I wish, I laugh. Some days I’m funny, others I’m not   I’ve been frustrated so much that I’ve wished sometimes that I could die. Sometimes I’m in overdrive and I can’t stop and sometimes I’m as slow and steady as a snail. You may not like me but that’s okay because that’s me and how I will stay So don’t expect that I’ll one day change for you. I’m only me so what you think of me doesn’t matter The only person I’m oblige to please is God my creator I may be weird and be a talkative, but it shouldn’t bother you It is who I’m and how I’m created so no need to impress you I do what I love and love what I do.

I may not be perfect but ...

2016 Review: Ayomide Oguntunde, 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far..

LESSON AND BLESSING THIS YEAR SO FAR....... The year 2016 has been a year full of great blessings and greater lessons. Here, i will start with the lessons, and the first is not to trust in man But God only. Uhmmmm, there are times in our dear life that we put our hope in man not that we don't believe in what God can do But really cant say what happen not until it dawn on us that our only hope should be in God because He's the master planner of everything.      Secondly, i learnt that friendship have categories and you don't get Love in return from all friends (Smile). Its not that they hate you But have some other people on top of there friendship list, they might not be better than you do, But i got to know that no matter how you try, you cannot just force Love. Also, i got to understand the pain inner tears causes and the solution of crying the pains out to have an inner joy though not easy But one will just continue to hurt the mind. I will also like to talk ...
