What inspires you?

Inspiration comes from striving to give off one’s best even when it looks gloomy. It makes us question our intent; what is your biggest goal? What inspires you? It begins with our thoughts, ideas, what we stand for and what we seek to achieve. Inspiration comes from different sources, but the most important aspect is how we use it to achieve what we intend to become.

On this journey of finding out what inspires you, I will share a few nuggets on how to turn your inspiration into a passion driven purpose.

Nuggets on Inspiration

  • Learn to find what is beyond you. Completely let go of what is not important, then find your inspiration from what is beyond.
  • Change your destination. Move out of your comfort zone, prep your mind, and look at things with a different lens and perspective.
  • Create boundaries, but, you can as well move out of your boundaries to learn new things from other sources that will broaden your horizon. Never apologise for creating boundaries.
  • Envision your life. Picture yourself in your mind, and think about what you want for your life and start putting ideas and words together to depict them.
  • Read books/novels. If you are someone who loves to read; depending on the genre of books you like. Surf the internet for books on topics that interest.
  • Always keep a notepad, you can also use your phones. Always jot down ideas.
  • Find blogs that inspire you and read them. You can follow them on twitter or Instagram for more interesting ideas.
  • Gift yourself a day off. Sometimes you need to just give yourself a “no to-do list”. On these days, you just reminisce the past, do whatever comes to mind and wait for the inspiration that strikes when you least expect.
  • Whilst at it, do not forget to drink a lot of water; it will keep you hydrated.

Until next time, stay true to yourself and be YOU!

To Marry or Not to Marry?

Very thoughtful words put together!

It depends largely on one’s perspective, but a Professor friend of mine, bemoaning the abysmal lack of intellectual acuity in today’s young couples said to me in response to the question, “Anyone that goes C-minus in logical reasoning has no business getting married.”

A few acquaintances disagreed with him. “Who cares about brains?” One asked me when I reported the good Prof’s prognosis. “Can she twerk? If yes, that’s marriage material right there for me!”

In the wake of some businessman allegedly beating his wife to death, the institution of marriage has come under intense scrutiny on Ghanaian Facebook streets. I’m not in the habit of cavorting with feminists but they had a field week on Facebook and its irreverent cousin Twitter, bashing the institution to the Dark Ages. I was sure they’d find a gun and do the alleged wife murderer violence before he had his day in court.

As one of the newest members of the 30s club, I’m enjoying the freedom that my new status is bringing and I feel a sense of sisterhood to share why I have lovingly kissed away my 20s and of course what I have learnt in the process.

Please keep in mind that this post shares elements of my personal journey – some of which may resonate with you or not – but always be open to seeking the lessons that your life is trying to show you. Go with the flow and be gentle on yourself. After all, we all take time to blossom.
