People often wonder how I lived through the days when I was a quadriplegic, without caving into the dark lands of depression! I’m not going to sit here and tell you it was easy and that I survived because I had it all figured out, neither am I here to dole out some step by step guide on how to deal with difficult situations like that, because, it was simply grace that kept me. However, I just want to share my story with you and hope that you draw some comfort and encouragement from it.     Let’s face it, Bad things happen to everyone, it doesn’t matter if you…

I can still hear his voice echoing in the distance, “it’s all in your head ify, you can do it”   i thought he was a joker and completely oblivious of the chaos that was going on in my body. How can my inability to walk be attributed to my mind,   “dude I can’t move a muscle”! On another occasion he told me “you are alive because you had the will to win”   Time has passed and i think i understand a lot better how powerful the mind is in determining the trajectory of our lives.   The way you see yourself on the inside largely determines your…

One of the hardest things but most beneficial things a person can do is to engage in periods of self-reflection. No one is perfect, but being able to identify your own flaws and actively work to improve them is essential to your personal growth. The best way you can do this is to engage in self-reflection, though that is often easier said than done because it’s typically far easier to identify flaws in other people than in yourself, making it difficult to know where to start.  People who are more self-aware are more likely to have better decision making skills, improved patience and a greater sense of accountability, translating into…

  A couple of days ago, I heard some people arguing. Most of what they said was indistinguishable, the only line I captured was something one of the more aggrieved parties bellowed at the other. He said “it’s 2021, get yourself some soft skills”   How familiar are you with the concept of soft skills, is it something you’re working on, something you care less about or are you clueless as to what I am even talking about? whether you’re the former, the latter, or somewhere in between, I have got you covered.    In Recent times, Soft skills have become more in-demand!! Things like communication, time management, emotional intelligence…

No two people are exactly the same, and that’s what makes us all unique! That being said, psychologists say that no matter who you are, you fit into one of the five general personality types: conscientious, extroverted, agreeable, open and neurotic.    Conscientious people are typically very organized, punctual and have perfectionist tendencies. This makes them more likely to independent, self-sufficient and stubborn. They like routine and tend to have a plan for everything. They’re not too keen on changes and like to be in control of most situations.     Extroverted people love social interaction and are very outgoing by nature. They enjoy being the centre of attention and…

I hate to break it to you, but going out is not a funfair for most introverts!   It doesn’t matter what the magnitude or prospects of such a meeting is, some of us would rather have it at home or not have it at all.   While a lot of people find it easy to just throw on some OK outfit and bounce, some of us always have to think through every meeting, event, or hangout to double-check and see if it’s worth it.    The sad thing is; going out is inevitable, whether it’s just to pick up some items along the street or to meet up with…
