THRIVE or SURVIVE

-

   It is my utmost wish that you would be able to absorb the intention behind these two big words; THRIVE or SURVIVE. Perhaps you are one of the countless number of individuals who assumed that the two words make not much of a difference. I used to walk that lane before. But like life would have it, we are not always right. Little wonder the call for this wise saying, "learning never ends".
  Often times, we say to ourselves "I am going to scale through" and I thought that was cute. But what we don't realise is that we are setting up ourselves for that which is available; the lesser version. I have encountered people who affirm this notion that “you only live once" and so you can live your life the way you please. But I would love us to debunk that mentality and instead focus on the reality that is being played out here. I discovered that we are always trying to plan our next move and so we stationed ourselves in a way that life drags us around.
Life isn't always fair, but that does not dictate that we remain living above the waters and stay comfortable while trying to find our way. To our incipient question, do we thrive or survive? According to Merriam Webster dictionary, thrive means to grow vigorously, to progress towards or realise a goal despite or because of a cirmcumstance. While survive means; to continue to exist. The definition on its own speaks volume about these two words. In order to life extraordinarily, we all need to have a paradigm shift and readjust our focus. It is quite easy to do things the way it has always been done, but maybe it is time to give life our best shot.
The universe is frail from having to deal with such a vast number of average-minded person indwelling it. Maybe this is our chance to reconstruct our schedules and fight for what we represent, perhaps that will get us to thrive for success instead of trying to do everything life throws at us, all in the name of survival. In the words of Oprah Winfrey, “be your own brand”. Never settle for that which is available, because if you can just have a mindset change for a second, you will see for yourself that the grass is greener at your side and at the other side. The key is simply to take a deep breath, delve into the world of your inner person and handle life big- real big💥. Absorb all the resources that the creator has placed in you and seize every opportunity so you can get back on board🏹.
Instead of merely existing (to survive), in a world full of billions of people, why not thrive hard enough, and be adroit🌹.
You are worth so much more,
Keep being you,
I love y'all..
💙💙💙

Adventure: A Visit to Worry Industry

The early hours of the First Saturday in June ,the First day actually didn't sit well with me as I rushed out of the bed on hearing that I will sit for an exam that I'm supposed to write the following week. Just as I stepped outside my room, my coursemates(girls) were outside in their various night wears, while some were on the towels probably heading to the bathroom. Everyone was alarmed and disturbed by the uproar in the hostel, till we discovered it was a prank by one of a classmate😬, my gaaaaaaad! ...  You know its funny how 75% of the things we worry about in life don't happen.  I told myself I would jog that morning after my devotion, but as the weather was so cool, I resorted to sleeping . I wrapped myself in my blanket and slept😀, but immediately I heard the news, I jumped off my bed. [ to be continued....... ]       Why do we have to let bad things happen, before taking the necessary steps ? I mean, who said I have to constantly worry about the ...

Ever felt yourself wondering why you have to be the bigger person?Do you feel personally responsible to fix everything that goes wrong in your sphere? The Universe had has done so well in presenting us with -Questions and Questions and Questions . And in our curiosity, to find answers to all these questions, more questions- surface? 🤷🏽🤷🏽    We've all been on this lane, and- it's an endless journey. "How did that happen?" "Who?" "What do I want to do in the next xyz years?" "Is he the one or him?" "Am I ready for that?"
