My director and other superiors were reluctant about letting me go, owing to the fact that I was the most dedicated corp member they ever had. They tried several means to retain me but, I had to go. When they gave me a token for helping out during the lock down, I was surprised because I wasn’t expecting anything from them. Anyway, I won’t forget in a hurry, the warm reception I received and the impact I made there. 
But first of all, I wouldn’t have done that without a Strong Backup. It wasn't every time I felt like dressing up for work. Sometimes, I didn’t sleep until midnight and I had to wake up as early as 5:00am. But I am grateful for my strengthener who always made sure I was well charged. Again, once I am committed to a thing or a place, I stay committed all through amd I am excellent at it. There’s no point in putting your hand to the plow and looking back.
In bringing all these home, whatever your hands find to do, do it well. Try to leave good trails. And if what you are doing currently is not in line with what you are passionate about, see it as preparation for where you are going. 

Till the next post, keep learning.

He said the man had just hit his wife in the face. When I looked, I saw the woman holding her face as we drove away. Do you know the saddest part? A child was in the car, watching. The man parked right in the middle of the road, obstructing other cars, and still hit his wife — right there in front of their child. I doubt it was his first time. Truth is, the woman must have seen the red flags before marriage. Still, as the Uber driver said, some women can frustrate their husbands — but that’s never an excuse to hit your wife, especiall...

You think you have nothing to be grateful for? Thank God for breathe, health and peace of mind. I was in the hospital with a family member. Beside her was a guy who should still be in his teens. He had a cast around his head and one to support his spinal cord. He wanted to sit up straight because his buttocks were aching. His mum shouted at him several times to lie still because if anything should go wrong, the huge amount of money spent would be a waste. The teenager had undergone two surgeries already and he was to remain in the bed for three weeks. That same night, someone died and the hospital was filled with all manner of wailings. The family member I went to check was to undergo surgery that same night ...
