Beauty of Resilience

I define resilience as the ability to withstand adversity, storms and challenges that life presents. But resilience comes to life where there are goals, challenges, hope and faith. Life doesn’t just happen; it’s usually a predestined journey with a divine purpose and goals.

Apparently, the highway of life is characterized by heavy presence of destiny/goal hijackers commonly known as challenges. Fortunately, every individual is graced with a pair of two characters; namely Hope and Faith, who are always willing to ride with you. If you allow them on board they come in handy in the face of adversity. Whenever a challenge hijacks you, they give birth to resilience.

Now, resilience keeps you firmly focused on your goals. As a matter of fact, focus is both a shield and a weapon that overpowers life’s challenges.

No matter how hard life has knocked you, enlist Hope and Faith and witness the beauty of resilience they’ll give you.

Keep focused on your goal

Is The Health Of A Nation A Reflection Of The Health Of Its Families?

Family is the basic unit of society. Therefore, it goes without saying that society is a composition of families. Hence, a morally ill society is a reflection of morally ill families. When we talk of social evils like corruption, injustice, misuse of power etc. more often we shift our focus to leaders forgetting that leadership is just a title; these people are children born and bred in our families. For instance, whenever a leader is exposed on issues of integrity or rather lack of it, we descend upon them with hate and criticism; we demonize them and even ostracize them. What hypocrisy! We adopt holier than thou attitudes and forget that we too are hanging on the same integrity scale; the only difference being, we’ve not been placed under an auditor’s lens (Almost every human being is or will be a leader at some point in their life. Whether you’re heading a nation, a religious body, a learning institution, a home etc. as long as someone is looking up to you for guidance, pro...

Congruity: The Celebrated Robber

Congruity is a smooth and friendly robber who enters your house as an entrepreneur selling a service (a tutorial on how to be cool and fit in the clique). As an unsuspecting host you gladly welcome the guest and sit through the tutorial patiently. You pay for the service by giving up your personal convictions and off he (congruity) goes to hunt for the next unsuspecting culprit. He robs your house (willpower) clean and leaves you with a herd-mentality that sticks with you as long as you want to remain cool. The good thing (am not sure whether it’s really good) with our society (us) is that we’re really smart. We pride in our ability to remain on top of things. We aren’t intimidated by problems, (though we aren’t proactive in solving them either). So whenever we’re faced with a stubborn problem that’s likely to give us headaches, we tag it with a justification and quickly sweep it under the carpet (that’s smart, right?). For instance, in the case mentioned above, when our k...
