Self definition has always been a serious issue. It is a syndrome that affects all ages,sizes and races. We all want to be associated with something unique and special. Nowadays,most people want their names to be associated with fame,a hot body,political influence,beauty, power,wealth or anything of interest.  For me, I have always wanted to be known as  tough girl!  I know it sounds crazy. But it was my longtime my dream. Little wonder, I embraced acute feminism for a while.

I believed for a long time,that tough and harsh people were strong people. One day as I was brooding  about my not been tough, then I recalled a day that someone had called me  a weak person, because, I wasn't harsh and dictatorial. This thought  reinforced my  moodiness .

Then, the spirit of God asked me this question. Who defines  you? It dawned on me that I had let someone's opinion define me.   Then I began to think about young men and women, even older people  who have allowed themselves to defined by peers, media, fame,political influence, power,money,status.  And if they don't measure up to these standards,they either succumb to depression or do anything to meet up.

Once we start living up to expectations of these worldly factors,we get addicted and allow these factors to rule and control our lives. The truth is,no amount of fame,beauty,wealth ,power can satisfy the longing in our souls,they only leave us wanting for more....
Bottom line,let only God define your worth, there is so much peace and freedom in this.

I grew up to be a very shy girl. Only a few people would  believe that right now.  Over time, I  had learned to develop myself in many areas. And just when I thought that I had gotten my act together . I had a CRISIS! Yes, you guessed right, A PERSONALITY CRISIS!!!

Through the help of God, I have been able to make some good changes in my life. But I have to confess, that there was a part of me that I disliked. I often wished it wasn't part of my character. Don't worry ,I won't keep you guessing. The horrible thing I hate about myself is been nice and gentle.

Just hear me out before you crucify me. My reason is for this is simply because ,nice and gentle people are often disrespected and taken for granted. We live in an aggressive society where being nice is a synonym for stupidity. People are  more loyal and obedient  to an harsh boss than a gentle one . In some cases, you are being nice to someone but you get repaid with evil.

Lately, I had an unpleasant  outcome as a result of my niceties. I sulked and introspected for a while . Then the holy spirit ministered to me. He showed that these things which I hated so much were virtues. I would like to admit here,that my gentle nature has hindered me from being firm atimes. I was also made to understand that these, should never be seen as a weakness. It only has to fine-tuned and well managed .

My verdict : I am going to continue being nice and gentle, but I would learn to be firm with good decisions. I will  also pray for wisdom to act appropriately in every season. If you have a case similar to mine, maybe  you have got a virtue that seems to cause you troubles,try adopting my verdict.
PS: Ensure to fine-tune it to suit your case.

Asap (As soon as possible).  We use this cliche all the time. Perhaps ,its because we have realised the utmost importance of time or maybe ,its just to get people to do something for us very quickly, or it is a symptom of  living in a  fast paced environment.

Whatever the case may be , we often forget that this  word holds a hidden truth.  It proverbially tells us that time is running out! So you have to act now!  Some might ask what's the hurry? the truth is ,when ideas,opportunities or plans are not worked on quickly,we tend to lose those ideas,plans and opportunities. On a personal level, when I get inspired to write something or do something, If I don't write it down  and work on it immediately, I often lose such inspiration.

Asap is one acronym that we should  allow check procrastination and laziness in our lives. So, whatever you have got to do,do it ASAP!
