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! 😘😘😘

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. Your opinion isn’t needed You either accept me the way I’m or excuse me and go your way After all I wasn’t born to impress anyone but myself and God.   I’m only me so I don’t care about Criticisers or critics I’m happy to be me. I may not be perfect but ...

A MUST READ: 13 AMAZING LOVE LESSONS

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to tell the person how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right ones so that     when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feelings; passion and romance of a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you and only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be but you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes another one opens but often time we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been open for us. The best kind of friends is the kind you can just be with; never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. It is true that we don’t know what ...
