Mental Health!

-

Hello Sunshine☀️!

Howdy-doody?

Happy August!

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.” ― C.S. Lewis

Join me as I unravel today's word.

Over time, the catchphrase "mental health" has trended for reasons best known to us.


In the ongoing Olympic Games in Tokyo, several athletes have withdrawn under this guise. No, they didn't quit because they were incapable of putting in the work, but rather, they took their sanity into cognizance. Simone Biles who is one of these athletes said, "I sometimes feel the weight of the world on my shoulder".


Her withdrawal from the games, entertained backlash from sports critics, lovers of sports, and viewers who had stayed glued to their TVs in a bid to watch her perform a mind-blowing gymnastics move. Apparently, her career was seen as entertainment.


The message for today is summed up in this question: Do you know when to call it quits?


We live in a world where negativity is exuded effortlessly. Hence, the need to rest. The day rest becomes a mirage to you, something is wrong. Societal pressures are not fun anywhere.

Apparently, it goes beyond winning to make a happy player.

I hope we all get to the point where we can say enough is enough even in the face of critics.

And to those who are quick to criticize, can you please quit ripping people apart and find a better way to impact the world.


To conclude, when you find yourself in such a situation as this, I pray you to run to your maker who knows more about mental health services more than any human on earth. 

3 John 1:2 TPT

Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.

3 John 1:2 TPT

Remember to live for what will last,

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Knowledge

A pleasant afternoon to you. How do you do? On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why... Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in . Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means. Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up. How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is? The means of acquiring knowledge is a process
