THE Champions series 63, POEM Titled: Follow Your Heart

 

FOLLOW YOUR HEART

We live in a society

 Where minds are positioned

And our thought conditioned

We’re told what to think and say

What to eat and not to eat

Where to go and not to go

What to wear and not to wear

Our minds are left fallow

Always on the lookout to follow

Unable to make our own choices


As children, we wanted something more

Something more than just warm embrace

We had pictures

pictures of what we wanted once

Stamped to our hearts

We grew up and realized

We had let it go like a common coat

Because we were told…


To follow

Follow the system

Follow religion before conviction

Fashion before innovation

Education before passion

Gratification before distinction

Celebration before determination

Monitivity before creativity


My teacher once said,

Vision precedes competition

Wisdom precedes ambition

Journey not without your brain

Men’s opinions will ruin

But God’s opinion will lift you

Make your decisions and follow your heart.

    Inspiring.
    Often when we come to that valley of decision, we've just got to follow the leading in our heart. And for we with the Holy Ghost, it's a million win.

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, TOPIC: I AM A WOMAN

  I Am A Woman INTRODUCTION: After birth, as we grew, we were taught to understand the implication of our gender, the consequences of making wrong actions and attributes that distinguish you from the male gender. For some of us, we raised questions, our minds wondered ‘Why is it so hard to be a woman or a girl, as the case may be?’ But other times, we uttered words like ‘Thank God I'm not a man'. So we found ourselves accepting our gender definition when the condition was favorable and appealing, and also wishing we had made another choice, if we could, as far as gender was concerned. May I remind you that once you cannot accept or appreciate the fact that you came as a woman, you would always find fault in ‘being a woman', you would never consider yourself good enough as a woman. CAN I BE ANYTHING ELSE? Let's talk about me for a moment. I am a woman (well, I would define myself better as a Lady, with respect to age and marital status). But, the list progres...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 75; TOPIC: BE CREATIVE

  BE CREATIVE  MAKE YOUR HANDS USEFUL.   Creativity is first a mindset and then an attitude. There is no problem we come face to face with that is new, they have all taken place and were either tackled or not. It is how you solve that same problem that determines how creative you are. " We are all capable of doing great things, but not everyone would do great things or achieve greatness." Greatness is not cheap, some persons like cheap things, they rather settle for less than the best, because they don't want stress. They rather clap for the best, than endure the rigours of becoming the best. We're worth more than what our eyes can see, but we need to work more than the crowd to become that thing which we were created to be. "Nothing good comes easy, I hope you've heard it before? You have to put both your mind and hands to work to achieve the greatness you desire if not you will wallow in hunger. Greatness won't fall on you, you will be th...

  POWER OF SELF- CONFIDENCE IN PUBLIC SPEAKING. Introduction: Communication is the stronghold of all kinds of relationship, be it marital, friendship, career etc. Relationships are sustained and maintained by effective communication. Your ability to clearly and confidently articulate your thought, puts you at a vantage position, it gives you an edge, wherever you find yourself.
