The two wolves


A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: "The one I feed."

Self-Love: The Restorative Potential of Forgiving Yourself

Image
As we embark on our path to self-love, mastering the skill of forgiving yourself  is a crucial and life-altering step. To go on this path, one must be brave, kind, and ready to release the past. A lack of self-love and subsequent stagnation in personal development and fulfilment directly result from holding onto negative emotions like shame, remorse, and regret over our perceived or actual flaws. But we may unlock the door to deep healing and self-acceptance when we forgive. Practising self-forgiveness does not include downplaying or ignoring the wrong  you have do ne . Rather, it's a deliberate decision to let go of the emotional weight of the past and proceed with empathy and comprehension. It means accepting ourselves as we are: fallible, imperfect, and capable of change. You are only human! Realising that blunders are a part of life and a chance to learn and improve is what it is to be human. It is very important to be kind to yourself, this is because it is important to the pr

Marriage and Divorce

In today's world, people get validation by showing off their marital status. Some go into marriage for economic reasons, political reasons and or to strengthen a lifelong prestige with families. If you ask me, I would say the essence of marriage is getting lost as the years roll by that even venturing into that fairyland becomes a dread to many of us. And so if the essence of a thing is lost, then there is going to be a lot of problem with handling it. Some people even have bragging rights over being in the shortest marriage in the world... Unbelievable! Looking back at the design of marriage for humans, it was meant to foster love, companionship and for many procreation. Even around the globe, many people celebrate St. Valentine's day, if you must know, the reason for that day was because one person defiled all odds and rules to continue to strengthen what he believes was the will of God for mankind...

SAY SOMETHING NICE! (Part 1)

Welcome again to another article I consider important in today's world. Sit back and let me take you through the ride... Ever heard of the Thumper’s law or Thumperian principle??? It says "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all," When it comes to using words, they are truly powerful; words have the power to lift a Nation and can inspire or destroy someone, so having the ability to think before you speak is something you shouldn’t be taking advantage of but many people do not recognise how powerful words are. Hmmmm.. or should I say they ju st choose to ignore the facts that words are really powerful? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Saying something nice is about lifting one’s co-workers, family members, friend s  acquaintances, and even foes, with genuine kind words. It takes discipline. In some cases, one may feel some kind of negative way towards others, saying something nice doesn’t necessarily mean putting those negative be
