The world as we know it has changed

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. COVID-19 has changed our reality. People are infected and affected. The world we know and grew up to is changing and there’s nothing we can do about it but adapt. Some professions will become redundant. Question is how are you adapting to the current context? COVID-19 has shined light to the fact that we are socially dependent beings and majority of us live from hand to mouth. Question remains, how are you adapting? How do you view this downtime? As a mini holiday, an opportunity to binge on Netflix or catching up on social media? Then I must diagnose you: You are a lost soul!!! My advice to you is CHANGE and ADAPT.

A Queen is Multifaceted

I will teach my daughter how to: cook, clean, bake, take care of herself and others,  be responsible, be tender and kind, have manners, and put on make-up if and when she wants to. I will teach all this not because she is a girl or being trained to be a good wife (in future). But I am teaching her because these are important skills to have. I am teaching her because I will not be around forever so when that time comes she needs to be able to hold her head up high and say "Mom taught me better, I got this". I will also teach her how to: change a light bulb, paint, wash those windows, voice her opinion firmly but respectfully, and  fist fight to defend herself when necessary. I will teach her all of this not because I want her to think that she is better than men/boys but, because she is just as important, competent and capable. More importantly, for her to be a more multifaceted individual.

Believe in Yourself

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. John F. Kennedy Stop making things not work for you. Stop looking for reasons why it doesn’t work or why it will never work for you, instead figure out a way to make good things happen to you. Whenever we try to make changes in our lifestyle, sometimes we doubt ourselves that maybe we can’t do it or it isn’t suitable for us. Why does this happen? It isn’t because of fear but because we don’t believe in ourselves. We aren’t confident enough to keep pushing through to do things we should. We are complacent about our dreams… No idea will work for every single person, but a lot of them can work for most people as long as you believe that you can make them work. Stop wasting your energy to worry. Use what you have to create and grow from what you’ve learned. Guys, you need to put more trust in yourself and believe in the process of things. If one thing doesn’t ...
