Woman wanting to strengthen relationships with other women

An interesting good read that will get your thoughts rolling.

Do you find it easy to connect and build great relationships with other women or do you prefer male friends?

Reaching out

Watch This! My thoughts below:

The first gives you some faith in human kindness whilst the second cuts your breath off. I have a brother-in-law who drowned four years ago in Toronto and watching this made me think of him. Could someone have helped him – he went with some colleagues to the Lake – but they chose not to?
The second shows what’s all that’s wrong with human kind. It hurts the soul to see these things.

My PPA

The life of a fresh Nigerian graduate. Funny article – but not a funny reality. My comments below:

You take me back to the days of fresh out of school where they feel you should be happy to be employed – free-of-charge 🙂

Tales From The Bench

Fantastic image to go with a delightful tale.How we take these mundane things in our lives for granted, yet they know so much about us. If the articles that we use on a daily basis could talk, I can only imagine what they would have to say

The Ties That Bind

Absolutely heartwarming vignette. Here’s what I had to say:

Can I say beautiful like others have echoed? Oh Roo, you make me think of my siblings and have a lump in my throat. A wonderful family is everything.

Posts That Caught My Interest #5

July 27, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha

I love positive things. I love progress and exciting news. I love to see people chase after their aspirations and dreams and watch them grow. It inspires me more than I can tell you. Some days when my inspiration tank is low, good news from others pep me up and keep me going. Michele, I know you’ll do exceedingly well on this new path.

Inspired Beacon’s posts on better living, food for thought, inspiration, success tips, personal development and business sense keeps me pushing for higher grounds. Never Stop Fighting.

The ‘Fine Lines’ of this poem is not only riveting but empowering in its raw state.

I am mastering ‘How To Sail My Ship,’ how are you doing yours?

You have a right to your opinion, but you’ve got to learn to accept ‘My Opinion.’ In the bid to state your opinion as tell it as it is, also learn that it’s not a license to whiplash others with your venom.

I honestly can’t explain how it must feel to be purchased. A short post ‘I was a purchase,’ that left me pondering.

Growing Happiness – My Thinking Corner

July 25, 2017July 25, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha12 Comments

Don’t go chasing to harvest happiness from afar when you haven’t even bothered to plant and water it where you are. Jacqueline

Your happiness is always where you kept it. It’s not acquired through materialism and it’s not what happens to you.

It may be absent on some days when the going is rough, but always know that it’s there in the midst of chaos, pain, sadness, failure, success, peace and all the ups and downs of life.

We harp so much on happiness that sometimes this sells the idea that we have to be in a euphoric state, floating and gliding through life that those who don’t feel that way are left wondering if something is wrong and a cycle to buy happiness commences which only leaves the purchaser shortchanged.

Accepting that it’s okay to be just okay is a key to contentment.

Growing your happiness will never be a destination that you get to and all of a sudden everything is just as perfect as you want it, but a mindset that you build from within and know that despite every situation you will remain in charge of your state of being.

Jacqueline

My Thinking Corner… Your Standards

July 4, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha8 Comments

When we lower our standards to trash, we simply succeed in putting ourselves in the trash can. Stand tall

It’s amazing how many people go through life without any personal standards or with standards as fickle as the wind.

They never know where they stand at each point in life and a life of anything goes is what it is…anything goes, that way they don’t even know when nothing is going.

When you keep lowering your standards, you keep going downhill but when you raise them you rise with them.

Be mindful of accepting every nonsense dished out there because of the fear of being politically incorrect or being labeled as a hater.

Not everyone will meet your standards neither will you meet everyone’s standard and that’s absolutely fine.

The end

A wonderful short poem that says much. Never stop telling the stories.

The power of perspective

Perspective, perspective, perspective. You know what, I’m going to leave you to read this inspiring post yourself and just leave this quote below.

Furthermore, what you triumphantly overcome today, equips and enables you to help others tomorrow.

The beauty of being a young momma

Being a young mother almosts makes you feel like a superwoman 🙂

Passion

To follow your passion or not to follow it? Sometimes following your passion is not enough. Quite an insightful post.

Setting boundaries, not barriers

As women, we are constantly pushed and pulled in several directions as we strive to live up to the ideas of other people and society; the freedom and growth comes when we release ourselves from this when we get “comfortable with being uncomfortable” as we address those internal issues and wounds that we have allowed to fester.

Life offers us two choices, to sit and laugh with it or to sit and be the butt of its jokes. Jacqueline

One characteristic that I would recommend for anyone to cultivate is a decent sense of humour and I am not referring to the surge in finding fun in sick, derogatory and hurtful jokes made at the expense of others.

I talk about learning to laugh at yourself and the things that life toss at you.

From personal experience, I know how easy it is to get caught up in bitterness at the hard punches thrown at you, and how we could find ourselves walking the path of unforgiveness without even knowing that we are doing so.

Like a revolving door, holding on to the door of bitterness and unforgiveness only keeps you going round in circles and often times, it might hit you in the face or the back side.

A daily example that comes easily to mind is my husband’s idiosyncratic attitudes that used to drive me up the wall. As long as I kept my eyes’ on them, they simply became more magnified and drowned out other sides that were far better.

It took the conscious effort of cultivating an attitude of changing my perspective and searching for reasons to laugh over it and not stew in annoyance – it took me years of sweating the small stuff – I found very good reasons not to throw shoes at him 😉

Life brought me here

This is a lovely blog that I am getting to know. In the writer’s words below:

It’s about life’s curve balls… Its sweet, sweet aromas & everything else between.

To a young man that I will always love

Some posts just hit you that you find yourself grappling for the right words to say what you want to say. Here’s what I had to say:

Gosh! This is sad and hard.

Mental ill-health – the unseen ailment – is often treated with kid’s gloves and people tend to look down on those who struggle. We live in a society where everyone is expected to be A-okay and that’s even more pressure on those who are not.

Suicide is no joke and that goes to show how frustrating it can be for those who are struggling with mental health issues, it’s not so easy to tell the person to snap out of it.

I am so sorry for your family’s loss. This is devastating experience that only time will soothe such pain.

Wonderful tribute and do stay well.

Esther’s humble boldness

Some mistake meekness for lack of confidence and being a fool, but having read the Bible and watched the movie of Esther there’s a lot to learn from humility and boldness in faith.

Confusion

A smart twist of simple words. Brief and deep.

If yoga were a guy

Filled with humour and almost sexy. Now I see yoga as a tall, handsome gentleman with that deep signature baritone of Barry White 😉
