Teach Yourself

Posted on April 9, 2019January 31, 2020 by Joel

Do what you said you were going to do.

That way, you are teaching yourself that you can trust yourself because you can count on yourself to keep your word.

That’s one of the best things you can do for yourself. You’re always teaching others what you deserve from them by the things you do and by what standard you hold yourself to. If you can’t count on yourself to be there for yourself and to show up, why should others take you any serious?

In the same vein…

Learn to reward yourself for good things you do, for your accomplishments and for keeping your word.

You’re your number fan. Just as you can be your greatest enemy.

You choose.

It’s the thought that counts…or not

Posted on March 21, 2019January 31, 2020 by Joel

Sometimes, this has stopped us from doing our very best because we believe even if we are not able to finish what we’ve started, or accomplish what we set out to, it’s the thought that counts and it should be appreciated.

But if the thought counts, the action counts ten times more. And if you can get ten times the appreciation for something, why not get it?

The thought only counts when you cannot otherwise make the action count more.

Thanks for elevating the best stuff…

Posted on March 20, 2019January 31, 2020 by Joel

…is something Medium says when you highlight a part of a Medium post and someone who follows you finds it interesting enough to also highlight it.

It’s the same with life even though most times no one thanks us. People are watching you and they are mostly not even aware of it. But they are watching. And the things you do, the things you share, the things you condemn, they see it and it affects them. It helps shape their thinking and impacts their life more than you know and more than they realise.

So today, ask yourself, “What am I elevating?”

On making impact

Posted on February 18, 2019January 31, 2020 by Joel

There is a life we are destined to live, a purpose we are meant to create and actualize. Each one of us is tasked with that noble duty, for ourselves and for the human race. We are put here not just to pass through like a bird leaves no path as it flies. No. We are, just as those who have come before us, obligated to make an impact. Continue reading “On making impact” →

Scattered thoughts

You and your ego

Posted on February 16, 2019January 31, 2020 by Joel

We are sometimes made to believe that ego is the enemy. That those with a huge ego are somehow less honourable people than those with smaller egos.

Well, I think we need to understand that ego is just. Without your ego, you probably will not be motivated to achieve or pursue anything worthwhile to your being. Continue reading “You and your ego” →

Oblivion

Posted on February 15, 2019January 31, 2020 by Joel

A phone rang somewhere close, but Mike turned away and placed a pillow over his head. The muffled sound didn’t make him feel any better, but he was in no mood to get up. He had a pretty good idea who could be calling, anyway. If it wasn’t his mother, it couldn’t be anyone else but Mary.

That girl was persistent, he had to give her that. And, any other day, he would pick up the phone in an instant, just not today. Continue reading “Oblivion” →

A Rebirth

Posted on October 26, 2018February 5, 2020 by Joel

It was not instant death. It dwindled, like the waning of candlelight that was once burning with fervour. Then the air grew thinner and the light began to die slowly.

Except you didn’t take note of the implication. You focused on the tiny patch that was still visible too much to notice that the rest of the room had grown dark.

Then the light went out. And total darkness was all you had left. You had to feel your way around like a blind man walking in a world full of light but can’t see it–because that is what you are.
