The thaw life with Ozi

DOES THE ADVICE TO LOVE YOURSELF MAKE SENSE? Loving oneself doesn't entail that one is selfish, it just states that no one loves Nigeria better than Nigerians. Some times I sit in my room either blogging, watching my favorite TV programme, googling, trying new things on my web page, getting inspired by the social networking lifestyle,  listening to music, reading number of books by my bed side or maybe eating- is always kitchen to bedroom for me, it works just fine LOL...    During those times, my Dad knocks in to ask "Ozi are you okay? You haven't stepped out since morning, I find it horrifying that you choose to sit inside your room for the whole day". Most times I laugh when he ask these questions, I understand that my dad cares about my well being or he needs to be sure I'm not encountering depression lol (we can't always wave that away). For me settling indoors works just perfectly, I wouldn't however label it as "settling in my comfort zone...

For most youths today depression is taking a toil on us, you sit in there and believe you have become useless to yourself, the human nature and the society, depression comes in so many ways, it has no explanation to how it starts off or happen, it just takes you from somewhere and before you know it, you're missing your essence to this life. However, whenever you start feeling the need of being conformed to a certain atmosphere or certain way, always feel the need to talk to someone, anyone you trust, one who your hearts align too. What worries you? What's your addiction? What takes your mind off? What are you becoming settled with? It will surprise us to know that what we love the most tends to do more harm than good to us. A friend decided to share this with us...... #BeInspired I woke up each morning and wish I was dead, life had no meaning to me, no value, like a dead leaf. Why was I still living? What was left for me? I walk around with a mask called a smile and no one kn...

How spacious is your comfort zone? Are you weak inside? Frightened about taking that decision? Are you thinking about starting something new, doing something different, but afraid to take the first steps because there's just too many unknowns and what if it all goes wrong? Do you look at the edges of your comfort zone and tell yourself.. Why is it so small? Such feelings are more common than you may think, of course, safety and security are fundamental needs for all of us and much of our lives are geared into arranging things so that we can reliably predict our next circumstances and prepare how to deal with it. Do you revolve around those circle of person's that create habits and routines, whereas find themselves doing that same thing and sticking to them religiously. What do I mean by comfort zone? Don't we all love the zest of life that happens in young children, doing the unpredictable, curious about everything, always want to try new things, ready to explore. The wh...

All men this.. All women that.... There are billions of people in this world and it's unfortunate that some truly believe that an entire gender behaves the same when it comes to the worst. I see people waiting for a love they believe doesn't exist, and if by the grace of God it arrives they are not prepared. They didn't believe. They didn't build. If you think this world is going to bow down because it's you- you are mistaken If I blamed an entire gender because of the actions of a few you wouldn't have a post to read. Everyone in the world isn't screwed up maybe just some of the ones we touched. @writehiswrongs

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.- Nelson Mandela       Can we take a moment and decide not to ignore the alarming number of failed relationships happening around the globe, outrageous number of broken souls here and there? I then ask myself where is the Love? The killings and bombings, the anger and bitterness we carry in us, the piling of so much hatred in our hearts, we move with all these like a truck moves around with its garbage, dumbs it when its eventually way to full to drive on and goes back to picks up the remaining pieces, I ask again where is the love? What ever went wrong? The number of depressing youths, no one to talk to, no one to listen to you, no one to give a listening ear's, the fear of getting pregnant and been rejected by ...
