Use What You Have To Get What You Want

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we today? I'm sure we're getting better by the second. Just when I was going to write about distractions, I thought of some things and I decided to write about this instead. I've not seen anyone without a vision just that sometimes, we just don't know how someone would have the kind of vision they have.

We all have a picture in our head we'd like to look like in the years to come which we all work towards consciously or unconsciously. No matter the vision, how do you go about achieving it? Where are you supposed to start from? What do you need to start with? Many questions that flood our minds that seem to have no answers but here's the good news, the answer is obvious. How do I mean that the answer is obvious, you need to start from where you are, start with what you have and you'll see how it turns out.

When the sentence "use what you have to get what you want" was being said almost everywhere, I very much doubted if it referred to using your unseen resources to get the desired result. We need to use what we have to get what we want and what do we have? Talent, skill, knowledge, power, money? The list is endless but what do we want? Money? Fame? Happiness? Inspire others? Live a better life?
The amazing part is that you can have it all, the good life, money, fame and whatever thing you want because if you're so good at what you do, you'll get a reward from it. Your works will speak for you and people will also speak about your works even in your absence and without your consent but you have to start from here and you have to start now and I mean right now, no procrastination, no excuses, no nothing because at the end, the only person that can stop you is YOU. Truth is, it might not look like it's working out but you just have to remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. You just have to be consistent, don't just do it for a month and stop, keep pushing and watch how life will push good things back to you.

I hope at this point we would eliminate every doubt in our minds and start NOW with WHAT WE HAVE to get WHAT WE WANT through consistency, hardwork, positivity, moving with the right people and above all GOD because whom God has blessed, no man can curse. When you involve God in the affairs of your life, you'll get there faster than mortal strength can take you hence the God-factor should be taken very seriously. On this note, I rest my case. Feel free to share your thoughts by commenting no matter how crazy it sounds because conformity doesn't apply to geniuses.

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Dunsin's Kitchen - Second Year Anniversary

I’m not a fan of long WhatsApp posts hence the need to write, post and just share the link on one WhatsApp/Instagram post. I’m a bit rusty (writing-wise) sha but I’ll try. I want to talk about how Dunsin’s Kitchen (DK) started because it’s our second anniversary today. I never imagined being a cook at this time, not with banking and family stress. I’ve imagined selling food a couple of times and it was inspired by one boli and beans seller in Asaba during my NYSC in 2014. I told my friend Osaru then that I’d love to start a place like that and call it Boli Kitchen. We just used to laugh about it then plus I’m not really a fan of beans though I could cook it well if I wanted to. Fast forward to 2020, we had a guest- my husband’s colleague who I served jollof rice and she kept talking about how good it was. One day, she said she would love to buy if I could make it for her so I agreed. Then I decided to ask others if they’d like to buy so I wouldn’t be making a small portion and some agr...

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...
