WATCH OUT

 


The first time I heard these two words used together was at the end of a home video (I know you can relate to the words in this context). Well, this is not a movie thriller asking you to watch out for the end or sequel of a previous movie. At best, this can be a "watch out" sequel to the next episode of your real-life story.


To watch out according to Cambridge Dictionary is "to warn someone of danger or an accident that seems likely to happen". It is to be well-armed because you have been forewarned. Truth is, for anyone who is always watching out, such a person can never be taken unaware, he is prepared in season and out of season to combat any kind of variables targeting his sanity, effectiveness and progress in life. 


It is no doubt that life is in stages. Some are at the lower rung of the ladder of life, pressing on to climb up. Others are at the middle rung of the ladder aiming for the top still, while quite a few people arrived at the peak of the ladder working to consolidate their position up there. These are what is obtained especially in the cadre and categorization of our society as we journey through life. Knowing what stage you are right now in life and those things to watch out for simplify your life and gives you focus to carry on in life. 



Quickly, let me drive my point home. If you are at the lower rung of life's ladder, pushing your way up, what are you suppose to look out for? If you are reading these words now and you are in the middle, working your way to the top, what should you look out for? If by hard work, luck, some other ways or grace you are at the top, what should you watch out for? Regardless of the stage, you are now in life, you have to watch out.


WATCH OUT

I will be sharing three basic things to watch out for in every stage of life in the next piece, so watch out. As a brain tattoo for today, take this with you;  knowing what can lift you or pull you down and watching out for the same is the greatest souvenir you can carry along in the journey of life.

DO YOUR THING - IN YOUR SKIN

This piece is from my archives but for the sake of this series, I had to dust it up. It is a bit long, but it is for you - yes you. So take a few minutes and go through this with an open mind, who knows, it just might change your life. One year ago I was having a conversation with this lady with whom we have been discussing life, she said to me: “Sir, I have something that is eating me deep inside and I will need help with it; people have been making fun of me because of my body structure, I have been working hard to add some flesh but it is not working, I hate being called a smally”.  I strongly believe that to make life count you honestly have to love yourself, love who you are now and are becoming, and constantly remind yourself that you are a masterpiece, God's work of art, one of a kind, custom-made limited edition person. What I am saying in essence is, to make life count, you have to be comfortable in your skin. In Your Own Skin To be comfortable in your skin is to be you an...

JUST A DAY OFF

  Disclaimer The message of this piece may or may not be for everybody, however I pray that somehow you relate with these few words and make sense out of it. O ne of the things I have been consistent with this year is “morning runs”; I exercise three times a week, alternating between the week days. The entire experience became more fun when one of my friends became my neighbour few months ago, and we began running together. Well, what we do every day we go running is adding upon the distance we covered previously and no matter how small the addition is, it gives us a sense of improvement. However, lately, we have been overwhelmed with life and personal struggles that we often skip our morning exercise, and prior to now that I am writing this piece, it has been almost two weeks that we have not gone running. W hat we discovered and even talked about while running this morning (5:27am, Saturday October 24 th , 2020)   was that in as much as our body systems have adopted ...

SPRINKLE IT AROUND

  So a friend who is doing very well in her catering business shared a screenshot of her conversation with a client yesterday on Facebook, and I was honestly amazed because what I saw was a confirmation of the burden I have been brooding over lately.  Let me share this with you in the screenshot image below. What comes to mind when you see things like this? After seeing this, I asked myself a series of questions. Do good people still exist? If they do, what is the substance they are made up of? What are their works? Do they need to make some loud noise about what they do?  If I may ask, what is your definition of kindness?  I know you have heard this word like a million times but what does it mean to you? I feel like expressing this in my mother tongue due to how intense this is in my mind but let me try with this borrowed official language so we all may understand.  Kindness is Everything (kindnessiseverything.com) defines kindness as " the sincere and voluntar...
