The Quest for Meaning II

Popo: I was talking to one friend called Stella last week. She was sharing a scripture she had learned that day, which talked about casting all your burdens unto God, and in him, you would find rest; Matthew 11. It then dawned on me, that the reason why you find life difficult is that you do not hear God (Holy Spirit) when he speaks to you. You haven't mastered the art of recognizing his voice. Therefore, you make decisions based on how you feel at that time. And because you do not have guidance from a wise elderly person or you do not seek advice from anyone than your friends, you make mistakes and later may hate yourself for that. Some of the career paths you take are even imposed on you, there is no proper assessment of what you are good at, and this gets you confused as to whom you want to become in life. If only you could hear the still soft voice of the Holy Spirit, many of your choices in life would sink with the will of God for your life. It is only through your gift that you can impact the world greatly because you must love and be good at what you do, to be able to influence others as well. Strive for mastery in whatever field you find yourself in. 

The Quest for Meaning

Aki: The reason why you might be struggling is because the path you’ve chosen is outside the plans your creator has for you. That is why there is a need to go to him on a quest for meaning. I get confused anytime I don't know the meaning of something. I begin to ache and dig deep into my thoughts just so I can figure things out. I sometimes wonder why I have to be going through things I don’t deserve. Because, Lord knows I am a good person. Genuinely, I care and wish well for people. I learned to work on my selfish desires months ago, when I started looking at the bigger picture. That is; aligning my own goals and ambitions to that of the will of God. It hits differently when the meaning of things I’ve been through starts to drop into my spirit. It seems like all of a sudden, everything begins to make sense now, even though some are beyond my understanding. It leaves me with a big smile. Because of how my experiences have shaped me into a better version of me. I may not be proud of the decisions I’ve made in the past concerning relationships with people and my spirituality. I’ve realized some of my decisions results in the situations I often find myself. I hereby encourage everyone to go on a retreat, on a quest for meaning from no one greater than the originator and creator of our lives; God. It is he alone that has all the answers and solutions and also holds the marking scheme to the life required of us. Yet you omit him from your life and seek after prosperity and success on your own. He is worried of your well being and how you treat him like a third party and only your solution centre. Make him your friend, therapist, provider, protector, instructor, etc and your quest for meaning shall be met. It’s not far fetched if you take time to think about it.

Words Still Carry Weight?

Jooo: Your words only carry weight to those you mean a lot to. Even with that, you would have to back it with an amount of action to validate your words as trustworthy. Times have changed where “words or vibes” only could sweep a woman off her feet. Now, most men have mastered the “act of vibing” a lady, but a few show working. Go into a woman’s dm and you would understand what I mean. Other men have capitalized on the act of “show working” and talking less but with bad intentions. Making things difficult for the guys with good intentions who cannot afford to show many workings. The little they do are not cherished enough, but only they know the sacrifices they have to make in order to afford a single outing with the lady. When these efforts are undermined or taken casually, it really hurts them to their core. What is more hurting than your efforts being taken for granted?. Imagine Jesus coming to die for you and you acting like you didn’t really need saving. You live your life as you please and do what you feel like, not taking into consideration if it would hurt Jesus or not. You were on the same page with me until I switched it up a little. It's interesting how when things are being said in your favor you cheer to it but when its not then you switch off. Looking forward to the day words will mean much again, and it would regain its value and the weight it carries, without any trust issues. 

I just don't like you

Kofi: If only we can tell how people really feel about us and the perception they have about us. We wouldn’t waste our time trying to make it right with everyone. Truth be told, a lot of people are not real. Their responses, kind gestures, demeanor, words, and character toward us are all faked. It only takes a circumstance to reveal the whole truth. Until they've had enough, we're only being tolerated. If only we could see their expression when they see our call or text. The day we fall into trouble or make a mistake is the day we hear what they truly think about us. But why fake it if they don’t mean it, you might ask. It’s easier said than done, would be my answer. If you’ve not been in such a situation whereby you just have to condone someone for the time not ind The words you speak and the choices you make are two ways to tell if you are wise or not. It’s that simple.

My 2022 Address

Kojo: Sorry for the delay, life has a way of keeping us busy. Nevertheless, we thank God for life, and we will never stop what we love doing. I didn’t write a “recap for 2021”, but in case you want to still hear about my view on 2021; lemme know. 

This year, stop beating around the bush; be straight forward with your opinions and thoughts respectfully. Trying to sugar-coat words and be extra nice allows a lot of people to stress you unnecessarily. Something you could have easily prevented from the onset. A lot of complicated issues were once simple to deal with. It’s interesting how people start acting funny when you accord them extra privileges you don’t usually do for others. 

That was just by the way, also this year; decide to stay positive no matter what. Decide not to be bothered by present circumstances, neither be ye pressured by peers. Don’t rush into things you are not ready for. Don’t also be lured into making decisions you haven’t thought through thoroughly. Be ready to explore this year; try new things and everything you’ve felt reluctant to do. You’d be shocked the capabilities you’ve slept on all these years. 

Don’t belittle yourself this year. The “as for me” comments are too much. As for you everything you cannot do. If people are making plans and don’t add you it’s purposely because of the “as for me” comments. Too many excuses; sometimes all you need to do is make up your mind. Nothing changes with maintaining old routines, new routines brings about the changes we seek for in our lives. 

Find a way to stick to the things you planned to do. People don’t take you serious anymore when you agree to something and don’t deliver. You might not really care what they think but it would go against you, eventually, when it becomes a general opinion about you. It’s good to have certain people in your lives who advice you and push you to do more. Keep people who tell you the truth, because you will need them. 

Have a fruitful year and have an opened mind to things. Don’t always be in your corner like no one likes you. You wouldn’t enjoy life with that perception. Have fun and work hard, this is your year!
