Death is beautiful

Welcome to my December blog



Day 6,



My question is: why are we scared of death when no one is escaping it?




One of my followers tweeted a few days ago, saying: I ponder on my death daily. The replies blew me away. 


Death is a beautiful thing — but we all get scared of it; why?

With the creation of death, the world is in chaos — evil occurrences every second. Have you ever imagined a world without death?



I used to cringe at the mention of death; I no longer do, lol (weird). I was traveling for a party a few days ago and saw a lifeless body on the floor. I thought about it for a few minutes and went about my day. 


Life is a journey; we will stop at our destination.

When you get to your destination, what will be written of you?



The year 2019, I sat down one calm evening, wrote my obituary — a short biography of how I lived, and stories to tell about myself. Writing my obituary clarified who I want to be, my purpose, my passion, and what God created me to be. I wrote things I needed to accomplish, the tales my children would tell about me, and how to go about it. Reading my obituary makes me happy; it’s teaching me how to live a fulfilled life. 

We shouldn’t be scared of death, rather, we should be scared of not fulfilling purpose, not living the life we want to, and not doing the things that make us happy. 



Don’t let death deprive you of living. 


Death should be an inspiration — inspiration to live a purposeful life. So when the time comes, you’re not full of regrets.



Do what makes you happy!





Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones was asked a question, and his response was fascinating.


“How would you like to die, Tyrion son of Tywin?"

"In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my cock, at the age of eighty," he replied.


I love that for him!



I shared how I want to die with a friend yesterday — I won’t have it otherwise. I’m gonna die a fulfilled man!!! 🤌🏿



Live life! Fulfill purpose!! Let nothing limit you!!!

Cheers to our glorious death.

      Richly said, Anjola, death is inevitable; if so, why not embrace life?

    Hmm!
    Death should be an inspiration and not to make us scared.

Learn to say sorry

  Welcome to my December blog Day 11, Learn to say sorry. There are many things I wished I had known earlier; one of them is the word “sorry.” Often, when I'm at odds with someone, the least I want to do is say sorry. I always seek a way to justify my actions; I frequently get away with them. It boosts my ego and sometimes prevents me from seeing the fault in me.  Saying sorry does not necessarily mean they're right or you’re wrong. It's sometimes the only needed tool for peace to reign. It's a better way of moving forward. So many relationships have been destroyed because we fail to say sorry or constantly try to be correct.  About a year ago, I had a very close friend who ignored me for days; I was baffled as to why — I thought it was right to reciprocate her gestures since I didn’t know what her reasons were, and she didn’t even care to tell me.  One evening, I called and started the conversation: I’m sorry; I noticed you’ve been ignoring me for days; what have I

Build systems

  Welcome to my December blog Day 26, A lot has been written about 2023; virtually everyone wants to have a better year. 2023, I want to do this; 2023, I want to achieve that; 2023, I'll get this; 2023, I must be in this position — Great! Aspiring is good; it's good to have visions for next year. Moreover, you need to build a system. Your goals and aspirations are what you need to achieve. Building a system is the how. Here's what I'm trying to say: I was with one of my kid sisters yesterday, and I watched her talk passionately about her business dreams for 2023. After listening, I knew she had a great vision, but the How was missing . Can I further explain using one of my 2023 goals? Goal (what): to read a minimum of 24 books. System (how): A year has 12 months. To read 24 books, I must finish two books in a month — one book in two weeks.  If in two weeks I can't finish a book, I must double it up the following week to meet up the task. Hello,  If your goal is t
