RESPECT.... Earned not forced

In relationships I think the major factor after mutual understanding and love is respect. Most people respect those who inspire them and want to emulate them.                                                         
Treating people in a way we would like to be treated is crucial. Relating with them in a respectful manner makes them feel wanted In leadership you find that you have to be strict yet not harsh, condescending and demeaning in relating with your subordinates or siblings.... Leadership comes hand in hand with patience and tolerance.                                                          
Respect is earned not forced or shoved down people’s throats .... You don't have to force someone to respect you it comes naturally.

 To say respect is reciprocal is overflogged, for instance in the Yoruba culture respect means every thing to them... Its so bad that you have to call your sister/ brother-in -law whom you are older than ‘’brother/sister’’. You knell down totally to greet your elders and so on.

The funny thing about disrespectful people is that they find it easy to bully and be condescending to other people but when its done to them they are angry the question is why??? Why does it hurt?? It simply means its wrong and in no way the way to treat others.

Sometimes I wonder mabye if they have a complex problem and this attitude makes them feel complete and whole .Treat people nicely... It doesn’t reduce your life span.

Sober reflection

Am at a time in my life where certain events  make me stop and reflect, review and appreciate my life.... Am I here doing what I should be doing or floating…….

What is my purpose and am I achieving it ? Am I praying enough? am I focused enough? am I fulfilled enough? are my life decisions in my hands... Am I doing the right things? am I in the right place? is my attitude right? am  I courageous? do I still belive in hope? am  I  trusting God? Do we have chances to change things, right our wrongs before they go extremely bad  and affect us.

When events take place in our lives that we have no control over do we just sit back and accept it, do we try to make a change , does it make or break us, do we sit around feeling sorry for ourselves.

 For instance you loose a loved one....do u sit back and cry over and over, it can be extremely painful as you won’t see this particular person again  but  you can also try and remember the good times...the memories.... the laughter . These things are your last life line link to that person .

 Anything in life can hurt you but the basic thing is to try and rise above the situation  and make yourself happy. Sometimes resentment sets in and you feel like ‘‘ HAS GOD FORGOTTEN ME’’ HE can never forget you, how can HE forget his beautifully made child, its HIS love  and grace  that sustains you and keeps you going.  You just need to increase your faithometer and hopeometer.

 I choose to be happy despite all odds

IS IT WORTH THE WAIT- FINDING MR RIGHT

 

 sometimes i really wonder if a relationship is
worth waiting on ... We find that these days  there are few  ladies who are willing to wait, struggle and grow with a man most times they want the PERFECTLY RICH MR RIGHT and in the process subject themselves to all sorts of things to find him.

 I have friends whose husband's when they were boyfriend's din't even have a car or good job but they stayed with them cos of love and hope...you should see them now you would think they had been rich all thier lives... how did they do it??? they persevered and grew with the man they loved and believed in. Dont get me wrong ohhh!!! it wasnt easy but it was worth it.

I am not saying that a lady has to suffer with a man before he loves her or gets the best from him but if you meet a man that has potential and ambition and you  love him why not give him a try and wait on GOD instead of hustling to get the attention of the HONEY COATED RICH GUY who might not even know you exist , you wear clothes that barely cover you up in a bid to get his attention, you go to owambe’s just to meet him, you even go to highly placed churches, you start playing golf, etc

  Why don’t you just stop for  a second and see yourself  as intelligent , beautiful and result oriented. Believe that you can get  a good man … MR RIGHT might just be right there in front of you and you are ignoring him because he is not driving a prado jeep and living in Ajah... Why must a lady rely on a man to do everything for her ... Have you ever thought about working a making a few bucks for yourself..... You are meant to compliment  and support each other.

Looking back to my university days at those babes that would just jump into bed with anyone that was willing to buy them cars, phones, hair, tickets  etc  baaaaabeeee you can get all those things by  yourself . first and foremost you are to take care of yourself then your boyfriend/ husband compliments it... The burden shouldn't be on him alone…… men respect  a lady that is resourceful and intelligent.

  Have you ever stopped to wonder if you have the attitude and morals to attract  MR RIGHT; it’s also about you and the things you do to attract the right people towards you..... He might just be that guy who’s been trying to get your attention... Why not give him a try, it might be worth it...     Xoxo mosh

Essence of forgiveness

 Forgiveness hmmmmm……. How many times has someone hurt us so bad that we decide that we are not going to forgive  or forget, we hold on to grudges for as long as we can, we sow seeds of destruction so bad that sometimes we even say that even if GOD descends from HIS throne we wont forgive.

Some people even go as far as saying that in future if their son/ daughter meets their arch enemy’s daughter/son they won’t be friends or date, he/she broke my heart etc hmmmm the question is why?? Why?? Why??  

 



Why do we hold on to irrelevant things, why do we waste so much time on grudges……personally I feel when you are holding on to a grudge you are just feeding rage , bitterness and anger  and all these things make you age……  

  Forgiveness gives you freedom.... in mind and spirit. Your thoughts and actions are unprejudiced. How can a mere mortal decide that he/she  won’t forgive when even GOD in HIS  magnitude forgives us.,If  HE was to behave like us and say HE won't forgive we would all be dead or in the ICU abi....  

I personally find it hard to forget issues.... I forgive but I don't forget ..... And its bad  whenever am in that mood I give myself this pep talk above .  

  Forgiveness is free.........……give it even when the person doesn't deserve it. You only live once.....

happy mother's day

mother's day is here again....it took me having my own daughter to really understand the  depth of being a mother.... the sacrifice,the undying love, patience etc I can go on forever. mother's are GOD's gift to us, sometimes we take her for granted, treat her badly; her undying and unending love is never in question. Mummy I love u, I appreciate you, you mean the world to me. I can never ask God for a better mum........ u r the bestest

valentine post

hmmmmmnnn u must be wondering why  this valentine post so late,no mind me my darlings. valentine's day for me started with a call from my hubby saying "happy valentine's day"
To be honest with you, this was not one of those mornings that i wanted to hear such, i wanted to see my love, spend soooooo much time with him, kiss him blind but alas i was on my bed clutching my pillow.

To say i was depressed was an understatement but i went through the day but believe me it wasnt easy as i am on leave..... i missed my husband soo bad. I pushed it to the back of my mind as i he was coming home for the weekend.

He came in at the weekend but i din't get to see him till late at night as he was so busy, i took it in my stride. As we got home walking into the sitting room i saw this

moshalewa's world

written on the reverse side was
mosh,

wanna use this medium to say thank you for accepting to marry me.... thank you  n thank you n thank you....... happy valentine's day.....
                                                                                                             omagbemi
                 


I was so happy, normally am the romantic one, i screamed, i shouted, i cried, i hugged him, i kissed him... i wasnt expecting it and to top it up he got me a dstv walka...... hmmmmnnn i was overjoyed....am a gadget junkie soooo i really appreciated it. It put things in perspective for me...... never underestimate the one who loves you..... its been so long that the candle had burnt low but now it was a furnace..... i felt so happy



You see my darlings love is truely in the air for me..... i hope you had a fullfilling day.

Beautiful beginnings

Thinking back as far as I can remember I have not been one to keep new year resolutions but this year i decided to fulfill my new year resolutions and am not doing bad at all. Although some of these resolutions span throughout the year but jump starting them is not bad. Lemme start with these ones :
 My first resolution was love: showing it and giving more of it. You never fail with giving love even though you are sometimes taken for granted or hurt.... There is still this fulfillment of giving without expecting much back and believe me it works, like my colleague at work says show love even if the person doesn't deserve it , show genuine care . It helps you at home or work …… it makes the person want to talk to you, share their fears with you cos they believe you CARE about them.

 Patience- although not a strong point of mine{hands covering face} I have tried to work on it . I have slowed down and let things flow, I have learnt that things can't always go at my pace. We are all different in our own ways.

 Tolerance- this includes pretending not to see or hear or respond to what people do and OVERLOOKING things a lot.

 Loosing weight - this one is my most important resolutions cos I have been struggling with my weight since I had my baby but I wont say weight sha cos I have skinny arms it's my massive bum and kangaroo pouch that am trying to eliminate and so far I have achieved 4% of my goal for it, am still on it.
 Sowing- my first love before banking; am hoping to finish classes this year and start making beautiful pieces.

 Friendship- last year I was so tested by friends , in fact I lost the notion that friends matter in my life until I met one special person that changed everything though we may not be so close as seeing each other everyday or talking everyday what I appreciate most about her was sharing her dreams with me, you need to see us together making business plans.... It was so fulfilling and might I add that we work together and u know how people say you cant make friends at work , she makes that a myth .... Infact she was a great friend and she changed me a lot..... Am grateful... U know yourself{wink wink }. And my other friend God bless him sent me this prayer and I thot I share with you guys:

"Omosalewa thanks for all your efforts to boost my disabilities , I pray God will raise people known and unknown to raise you beyond your imaginations . U are a lady of destiny, don't limit your scope . you will surely get there"

This has been my best booster this year,it has charged me to go out there and pursue my dreams. What would I do without such uplifting friends.....
Ok I think am done , this is all I have for now , do you have new year resolutions ……. All the best as you fulfill them.

Racketing

A discussion today with a friend of mine led me to write this post.  Ladi and I were discussing racketing  a.k.a runns girls . he cant phantom why a lady/ies should exchange sex for money…… why can't they do it for love??? or at least like the person involved .
 
It got me thinking must a lady sleep around in order to get money or likewise just for the fun of it. Ladi cited one  occasion for me;  Halima , very beautiful and sexy looking lady who met Jide- Ladi's friend and they exchanged numbers / bb pins and got chatting .
  
Halima and Jide were warming up to each other or so jide thought;so on his next flight to Abuja for business  he called up Halima to meet him up. On arriving Halima was already waiting for him at the airport and thus they proceeded to the Hilton where they had dinner and proceeded to do the deed.
 
The next morning Ladi was awakened by a call on his phone for  Jide asking him to come to his room immediately: on getting there he saw 1000 naira notes scattered everywhere totaling to fifty thousand naira, Halima was screaming at the top of her lungs that how can she be paid such chicken feed haaaaa she wouldn't even sleep with a man for one thousand dollars talk less of fifty thousand naira only. Jide stepped into the issue and asked halima what she had sold to get a payment  and  that she had a few seconds to take the fifty thousand naira  or leave or else ……... She took the money and scuttled out of the room half naked. 

Ladi was so shocked he thought that she loved him and that they had something……(hahahahahhaha-wicked laughter); might I add that ladi is a married man and I don't feel bad for him as he has a beautiful wife at home yet he chose to run after another lady outside; a lady who didn't give a shit about him... Love sha,its all about the benjamins baaaaby

Please feel free to comment- is it worth it to sell your body for sex??

Hope.....

Just this afternoon I sat watching the television and a documentary came on about OWLAG (Oprah winfery leadership academy for girls) opera's school in South Africa. I must say I was touched and humbled, as human beings we take so much for granted ; here were young girls who had no access to water, accommodation, food etc talkless of getting an education.
 
These girls are from poor backgrounds living in villages and suburbs most of them rejected by their fathers, suffering from segregation.... Racism is very much alive in South Africa despite all efforts to stop it.
 
Oprah went on to say that in building the school she was so particular about the infrastructure, the electronic platforms, the beddings,the best teachers, electricity, water and toilet system; off all these the girls were thrilled about two things only..... the running water and the toilet systems, they were screaming and standing under the showers……. How can a child not have the basic amenities .... Its so sad
 
 
Oprah gave them  hope, love , happiness, acceptance etc  to these girls , you should have seen their faces they cried , they laughed, they were so confused. Bearing in mind that this was the first generation after the aphartheid; it was very liberating for these girls. Oprah's humanitarian services has been written down in the sands of time .
 
 
It brought only one thing to my mind in all you do never loose hope, never give up on your dreams, the sky is the limit; nothing is impossible……
 
 
                      "I AM BECAUSE WE ARE"
