Here is how to kill Worry
Here is how to kill Worry
Recently, I traveled to the town of Ago Iwoye, South West Nigeria. Itâs been ages since I last visited that town. Going there, I felt like the journey was never going to end. Eventually, I arrived at the town, did my business and was on my way back home. Returning to the city of Lagos felt like no journey at all. I was home in the twinkle of an eye.

Umbrella for Rainy Days
Put your hands up if you have never been through a difficult situation. I am almost too certain that your hands have remained down. Challenges and tough times are simply a part of life. We all go through them at one point of our lives or the other. No army experiences victory without fighting a war, and we too donât make life progress unless we face and overcome difficult times. I do understandâŠ

FREEDOM
What is Freedom? Who is free? Yes, you are not a slave but really, are you free? ⊠When you choose is it really your choice? Yes, you have options but, are they really ALL the options? ⊠What is Freedom? Are you free? Do you do what you do because you CAN? or is it because you CANâT do the alternative? ⊠Freedom is when you can choose and also have real options to choose from that is freedom AREâŠ

It's an evergreen song for me. Now hearing the lyrics even more clearly makes it even greener. The clouds don't gather for my downfall, but rather for a downpour...a downpour that heralds in an HARVEST. @Regranned from @tybello - GREENLAND ( 2nd Verse):TY BELLO , CALLED OUT MUSIC and GEORGE( (THURSDAY SESSION) 'Standing alone can be heavy load .. but my vows I won't be breaking .. though my heart is aching . I got a word and I won't let go .. It's your will i'm seeking so I'll keep on believing...I see it now ..I understand .. I know.. so I embrace it .. dance in the rain ..it's for my seeds to grow.... for every prayer and every seed I've sown ..the Lord of the Harvest knows I'm reaping back a hundred fold .. THE LAND IS GREEN The words of this song are more real to me now than they were 12 yrs ago when I blurted them out .. things can look scary and chaotic when it's just about to rain . The clouds gather and darken.. the thunder roars heavy but we must remember that it's never for our downfall.. it's for a downpour .. an outpouring from heaven .. heralding a lush and green season . .. For Harvest for Blessing .. embrace the signs ..a new season is come .. the land is green .. absolutely !! . My heart thanks @calledoutmusic for bringing this song back .. I've never sang it live but the words said everything I needed to hear. #thursdaysessions #recorded by @showgear_records #mixed by @psalmjazzy #filmed by @taiwo_jassy @adelodun_ #edited by @taiwo_jassy - #regrann (at Lagos, Nigeria)

Happy independence day Nigeria. I believe in Nigeria's future. She will indeed become the most desirable nation to live in and our generation will make it happen. #nigeria57 #independence #blackculture #black #attitude. (at Lagos, Nigeria)
There is this tale about a sage and his pupil who had sought him out from the big city in the secluded monastery to learn from him. After spending some time with the ancient sage, the pupil felt he wasnât learning enough from the master. It didnât seem like he was improving and so he sought to find out why.
âDo you want a cup of tea?â the master asked as the pupil walked into his room that faithful day. âYes sir I do!â
The sage poured and poured, and kept pouring even after the cup was full. Soon the tea started to spill on the table. Irritated, the pupil drew the attention of the master to the tea that was beginning to waste.
âHa ah! Here is the answer you seek my child. This cup canât take any more tea because it is full. To take more, we have to first empty it. There is no lack of new tea, but as long as the cup is full, nothing new will come in.â
HmmnâŠThere is no lack of new things to learn, however, if you remain full, valuable lessons will keep spilling off and youâd never grow. Your mistakes become wastes when they could have been useful tools for making better decisions.
There is no lack of new things to learn
And what makes our cups full? Assumptions!
Assumptions make our cups full. Our opinion on what is true and what works is not always correct. But as long as we hold on to them, they will take the space that knowledge is supposed to fill.
Therefore, to learn, you must be able to distinguish between an assumption and knowledge. Then you can know what to discard and what to keep; what to pay attention to, and what to let through the leaks.
Another tale worth sharing is about a man who one day eventually got frustrated with the amount of food his wife wastes anytime she needed to fry fish.
He noticed sheâd always cut off the head and the tail of the fish before she fried it. He just couldnât understand why.
One day he summoned courage (as I assume you would need courage to challenge your wife on delicate matters such as this. LoL) and asked her why she did so. âI donât knowâ she replied. âBut whenever my mother fried fish, she always cut off the head and the tail. This is how we do it in our family for as long as I can rememberâ.
Luckily, her mother was alive but she too gave the same reply when she was asked the same question. Then they found the grandmother and asked her the same question. This time, they found the knowledge they sought.
âI never had big pans to fry big fish back in the days. The only way the fish could fit in the pot was if I cut off the head and tail. But now that I have a big pan, I fry the whole fish. But you had left for your own home so you didnât get to see me fry it this wayâ
If only someone had asked the right question much earlier. If only someone had challenged the status quo. If only someone had questioned the assumption. Many fishes would have nourished the bellies of many generations rather than waste.
Ask new questions and challenge old knowledge
The morale is this, to learn you must ask questions. Donât just accept everything you are taught. Try to know the reasons behind the theories; know the background to the knowledge; Only then will you be wise enough to apply knowledge correctly.
So two things I have said â You must learn to distinguish knowledge from assumption and allow assumptions leave so that new knowledge can come in. You must seek new knowledge by asking questions and challenging old knowledge passed down to you.
Life is really about learning. When we stop learning, we stop growing. When we stop growing, we invite decay and consequently death. You must understand that learning is deliberate. Being taught might not always be in your control, but learning is always up to you!
Cheers to a better you

Did you know? The human mind is bombarded with as much as 32g of information every single day. A study, conducted by researchers at the University of California-San Diego, revealed this. If it were a computer, it would crash in no time. It is believed that man has never been exposed to this much information in all of his history. We are continuously exposed to data from our cell phones,âŠ

The Brand YOU
Answer to your first opportunity with competence and consistently to the rest with character The whole concept of you as a brand isnât novel any more. Today, a good number of people understand that they have a reputation/brand that they have consciously or unconsciously developed and that this reputation to a large extent decides how much opportunities people throw their way and how much successâŠ

Stars not Kettles
Let me tell you a rather personal story about pots, kettles and stars. I visited the Ikeja City mall recently. Like most days, a particular brand was having an activation to sell its products. They had mascots, models, video games, music and obviously dancers. The dancers I believe drew the most attention and even I was at some point carried away with what they were doing. But as I was about toâŠ
