Lessons From Q1



So it's April, just like that. I remember us complaining that January was like three months, I agreed because it seemed like forever especially if your salary was paid on or before the 20th of December. February strolled in and out then march came too and ended just like that. The first quarter of the year is over but it won't really matter much if it's over if we made good use of our time and learnt enough lessons from the previous months that would come in handy in subsequent months. 

Personally, I've learnt a lot from life, experiences, and interactions with others and I'd like to share some of them with us.

People die, there's nothing we can do about it but to live. Let’s face it, what has happened has happened and it’s most likely not your fault (except you killed the person) so stop beating yourself up about it and live. Live your life so well that if the person is watching, they’ll be proud of you.

Save money, you'll need it. Saving money is not overrated. It will always come in handy so even if you don’t have a purpose, just save it, the purpose will come along at a time you might even least expect.
 
Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. You need to control your thoughts and even your lies too because you can talk and think things into happening.

Be there for those who are there for you. Life is too short to not be there for people who are doing all their best to be there for you. Show some love.

Be genuinely happy for others, it won't kill you, might lead to your own blessing. I don’t get how people can’t just be happy for other people genuinely; I mean, what will it cost you? Be happy mehn, you won’t die and who knows, you might just attract your own blessings through that little act.

Live, love, laugh. You only die once as much as you only live once so take your time to live your life as productive and positive as possible. Love as much as possible and please laugh, find humor even in weird things.

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...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
