Things – Deeperlook

Preamble

Today, I will share with you two non-living things I love so much.

One I already have and the other is still in view.

Let’s ride on 🚗……..

The Things we love

I love many things

Not what you think

Most of the things I love remind me of certain memories. They make feel closer to love, to loved ones.

I love many things

Not as many as you think

I love things that remind me of me, of good, of quality, of longings that I have had for years, waiting to be fullfiled.

I love things that remind me of my principles, of health, of God.

I love many things

And they remain special to me

The Tale Of ScarVes

I was not a lover of scarves until 7 years ago.

Scarves have always been a part of my clothing accessories but I only appreciated this item 7 years ago and developed love for it from then onwards.

Now, it is an item I do not think I would mind buying consistently.

The amount I have fills a mini box and I know I will get more.

We all have that item we will always love

The beautiful thing is that I am not an expert at wearing scarves but I wear it the ways that are most comfortable for me.

Mainly knot style over my neck

That style reminds me of years when I was not born. Of years I love even though I did not exist in them.

The years before me

I love scarves, especially the ones my mother had and gave me, and the ones she bought for me.

I love scarves because something about them makes me feel warm and loved.

I love scarves because the patterns on them are always unique.

I love scarves because the materials used to make them are often fragile and special.

Do you get my love for scarves?

Beetle love

I cannot remember when I started loving this model of Peugeot.

I can remember that more than 15 years ago, the first car my father owned was a Peugeot and I love the memories in that car.

I cannot remember when I came to love the Beetle car but I know that I have loved it for long.

Something about the shape reminds me of memories of times I was not born, I enjoyed but inquisitive about.

Something about the uinque style makes it appear vintage and valuable.

I love vintage

Most people around have heard me say that it is my favorite car and I would love to have it one day.

I love the shape and size, and when I get it, I would love to paint it the colours I like.

A cool board for art

I have seen many recently and the colours they come in are so unique. You rarely see it on another.

Sadly, the distribution line has been closed. I only hope to get one before they are all gone or maltreated.

The only car that yellow looks good on 😊

Vintage!

Criteria for Success

So I will ask you some questions.

Based on my love for these items and the other many things I love, I would ask you some questions.

Do you think passion is enough?
Do you have opportunities for your passion?
If you have opportunity, what do you do with it?
If you have resources, what do you do with it?
If you have support, what do you do with it?
Do you think if you have all of these mentioned above, you will suceed?
Why?

Most times we complain we do not have opportunities, resources, and support and thus we are unable to make progress.

I also complain sometimes

But will these things make us succeed?

We have to define success first

What is success to you?

Success to me is

Fulfilling God’s plan and purpose.

I have thought of it several times

That is what success is to me. Taking steps that lead me into God’s will for my life.

As I take these steps daily, I feel more successful and the days I get wearied or discouraged or lazy, I feel like I wasted time.

Proverbs 16:3,9

a]Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him],
And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance]. A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life],
But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
Amplified Translation

Proverbs 19:21

Many plans are in a man’s mind,
But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).
Amplified Translation

As a Christian, my definition of success is dependent on God’s interpretation of my activities. It is on this leverage, I feel peaceful with my achievements.

Truthfully, sometimes what I do not perceive as success is success to God.

Different and better lenses

Take Home

1Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].
Amplified Translation

Consistency is key.

Even when you do not seem to see any fruits. God is causing growth behind the scenes.

I believe that 😊

My love for these items and the other things I love have been consistent because the meaning of their presence to me has not changed over the years.

I love many things.

Some reasons I shared today

Do you want to answer some of the questions I asked?

Don’t be shy, I would love to see your responses in the comment section.

If you are yet to download 10 LESSONS FROM MY PARENTS you can still do that 😊.

Don’t worry, it is still in the books section and it is a free download 😁.

Until next post by God’s grace.

Waiting……

Preamble (as usual)

I have been ticking off old posts but today, a new one appeared called today’s topic.

I wonder how you did feel? How you feel when you can let the air you hold within out.

Therapy…..

Some days it is music🎶

Some days it is singing 🎤

Some days it is writing fiction 📝

Some days it is writing poetry✏

Some days it is just writing📠

Some days it is reading📖

Some days it is watching cat videos🐈

Some days it is laughing (even though it turns around to sting)😂

Some days it is cooking something too new🍽 or eating (depends on brain directives)

Some days it is painting abstract (or maybe call it rubbish)🎨

Some days it is dancing💃

Some days it is crying😭

Some days it is talking to a loved one or some one I like ( usually rare but mostly mama does the trick❤)🗣

Some days it is auto talking🤖

Some days it is walking🚶

Some days it is fresh air (just say nature)🌫

Some days it is the fruit/vegetable man who add extra fruits ( I am a regular/everyday customer)🍎🍌🍊🍋

Some days it is swatting flies (no emoji (like…🙄🙄))

Sometimes it is praying (actually most times. Only that I may run away because I want to dwell on the mood, on the low mood🙃) 🙏

Sometimes, I use all……🕊

Therapy can be anything.

Comfort in unlikely places
Comfort can sometimes be found in unlikely places. O. R. A

Sometimes you feel better, sometimes you don’t
In every moment I pratice counting my blessings.

They keep me in gratitude.

God sends people (cute and kind ones) even the most unlikely to bring comfort (very soothing)

My mother would say: “Onyiyechi what are you thinking of? You don’t have children and you are thinking and thinking. Take it easy” 😂😂😂😂

This would be in response to my response which would have been I was thinking. That was when I was a pre teen or teen…..(wot-eva)

N.B Thinking in the theme is not thinking like a human/ or a normal pattern of thinking like a rational human. It was thinking like a person who who was going to transport the eatrth to another galaxy (I wonder if that made sense. Wot-eva again)

It is steps…..it takes it time but that does not mean it should stop. Time still has time before it stops……

A therapist is a good idea especially if you have not gone mad already. Better late than never.

N.B listening to Hollyn : Isaac ( Try listening to Horizon too by the same singer. So beautiful songs and voice😚. I told ya). On repeat like xjdjoeeivs times…
