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! 😘😘😘

2016 Review: Ikpefua Joy, My Year Review

2016 Review: Ikpefua Joy, My Year Review Hmmm...Don't even know where and how to start from. 2016 has been quite a year. 2016 to me has been one of those years I enjoyed unmerited favour and grace. God has been faithful despite my unfaithfulness. Yea, I was written off...I have been trodden upon and yes, I've been told to my face that I cannot attain the heights I'm striving so hard to attain because I don't have what it takes...and sometimes I'd believed that. Obvious challenges has stared at my face that threatened my resolutions and determinations but it is amazing that amidst it, God has always proved His Supremacy and rulership over my life. 2016 has taught me a lot. So many lessons that miraculously turned to blessings. I've met people who have impacted and invested in my life more than I could have ever done. And seriously, Allyreads has been a tangible blessing to me. Belonging to this family, is a treasure that I hold so dear...love them all.. Who ...

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 ...
