I Am Not Grateful

I am Not Grateful that I woke up, dressed up, and went to the sanctuary was while someone didn't wake up and was sent to the mortuary.

I am Not Grateful because I have food on my table

While some people scramble for food under the table. 

I am Not Grateful I have a roof over my head

While some seek shelter under the bridge.

 I am Not Grateful some people are hospitalized with diseases I am free from.

 I'm Not Grateful that I am progressing 

While some of my mates are dead, some in school and some have given up on themselves.

I am Not Grateful I got married and gave birth early 

While there are men/women who are over 40 and still searching.

I am Not Grateful my daughter got married as a virgin 

While my neighbor's daughter was raped.


Rather I am Grateful

Because his grace found me just as I am.

Because each day I wake up is a 2nd chance to Right my wrongs. A new day of new opportunities and ideas.

Because my past/flaws is not a criterion for him to stop blessing me.

For his everlasting love which I sometimes feel I don't deserve.


Note: We shouldn't be Grateful when bad things happen to others. Bad things mustn't happen to other people before you thank God for loving you. 

Will you say "why me, why not someone else when good things happen to you?" 

Or do you say that only when things are going wrong?

What Happens When we Attach Pain

  We know people that are currently in a toxic relationship, you’ve heard them talk about leaving the relationship but they never leave. Maybe they are in for financial benefits? Or perhaps it’s just love? And what about those people that hate their jobs but won’t quit? Why complain when they know what to do? If we give ourselves enough reason to hate someone we deeply love, we will wake up one morning and we are filled with hatred towards that person likewise if we want to fall in love with someone. What changed? “Enough reason to back up their decision” They haven’t convinced themselves with good enough painful reasons as to why they should leave. They only think of the pain they will derive after they leave. If the pain of leaving is greater than that of staying, they will stay. We weigh options and go for the less painful one. Remember when you thought you would die when your ex broke up with you? Look at you now doing just fine. You’ve convinced your heart with bitter feeling...

6 Type of Friends or People To Avoid

  Those who will never apologize. They can never say they are sorry. Those who make a mistake then blame you or someone else for their mistake. They would claim it was something you did that led to their action. They can’t accept responsibility.  Those who commit an error yet insist that they are still correct. I'm not sure if it's due to ignorance or a constant desire to be right.  Those who pretend they really want to help but behind your back, they are actually the ones declining your offer. They will give different ideas on ways to try, encourage you that you’re the best but won’t give you a chance People who hold back praise and badger but berate you when you fail. They shield your 99 good then share your 1 bad. If anyone is exhibiting any character you love and admire and sincerely want it to continue, then never cease to tell them, pride them, etc. Selfish people: the truth is we are all selfish, we want good things to happen to us. However, we can’t be oblivion to...

Mental Health is a Priority So I Quit

                                                                GettyImages:cnythzl There are certain toxic traits that one can endure and there are some that shouldn't be heard of. That staff endure certain treatment doesn't mean it is right.  I recently quit a new job when I had none to fall back on. I have never done that before. I was so excited about the job and the opportunity to learn a new skill since I didn't have experience (cold calling) and I said hey we got this we are going to learn and be the best. But the leaders are toxic. I don't know which is worse the floor manager or the overall boss.  But I'll go with the floor manager because he downgrades people during meetings and every question asked is answered incorrectly and laced with abusive words.  For example: A colleague not been up to a month on t...
