Do you trust your instincts?

When body and spirit are in harmony

It is uncommon to have total faith in something or someone without any misgivings or suspicions. particularly with regard to people It’s a trait that is simple to lose yet hard to acquire.

People like me take trust seriously because, although life has taught us to trust, relatively few people actually do.

When you are in one with your spirit, you should trust your instincts.

Before making decisions or taking action, we all have an inner voice that guides and advises us. While some refer to these voices as guiding angels, others regard them as instincts. It is not always convenient or a gift of natural energy for someone to have the propensity or impulse to act in a particular way in response to an internal drive or environmental stimuli.

I’ve always been more confident in my instincts when I trust them. Several times, I was able to avoid hurts and disappointments by listening to the small voice in my head, but I’ve also felt remorse after a few instances of disobedience.

Our gut feelings might not always be correct. However, they are most of the time. If you are one of the fortunate few, you should make the most of this significant natural gift. I would rather listen to the small voice when presented with options. If my body and spirit are in harmony. If yes,! I do follow my gut.

What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

December is special

For you or someone else, each month is unique. According to zodiac signs, our birth months reveal a lot about our personalities, but that is not the topic of our conversation. Having a favourite month outside of my birth month is nothing new to me as a Gemini.

December will always hold a particular place in my heart due to its events and meaning. The final month of the year is a time to celebrate surviving the remaining months and to spend time with family members we haven’t seen in a long time.

December gives us the chance to see one another and spend time together as a family, much like we did when we were younger, which is significant to me because I came from a huge family and lived differently. Additionally, there are a lot of celebrations and festivities throughout the neighbourhood.

Due to the fact that its occurrences tend to recur, it is crucial to pay attention to each month. Some months hold special meaning for people since they are associated with good fortune and favour while to some tragedies. 

Having mentioned my reasons, the final month of the year is my favourite. I think your preferred month must also have a specific meaning for you.

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

I rather be myself

I don’t have an initial impression. Meeting people was challenging for me in my early years since I lacked confidence, which made me always anxious. I experimented with prepositioning myself, my speech, and my attitude because I was curious about other people’s opinions. Because I was putting pressure on myself to be better, nicer, more eloquent, decent, or even more than what comes easily to me, I frequently faltered. I usually strive to impress folks who aren’t worth the pressure or who even seem to have a worse attitude.

Putting everything in perspective, I would rather be myself than impress others in my early adulthood. I know that clear honesty, strength, knowledge, and respect both silent and vocal are crucial, and that I am also not someone who is easy to mess with. 

Regardless of how many times we have met, I am who I am because I won’t have to worry about changing who I am later on since I’ve already showed you who I am and you know how to handle our relationship, if there will be one. 

I therefore already know how to present myself at my age, regardless of the situation or the persons involved. Nobody is flawless, including myself, but nothing compares to the kind of person you are, and the only impression we all need is in the areas where we can all do better in our life. Being authentic is more important to me than making an impression.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

No place like Home .

Nothing is more annoying than moving. either to the city or the closest community. 

To restart life, more is required than just moving one’s body and possessions. I have lived in several cities and locations throughout my life in pursuit of a higher quality of life. One needs a significant amount of time to adjust to a new situation and environment.They say it’s nice to explore the world and experience life, but not as a refugee.

I have been given the chance to tour the world, either for pleasure or as a resident, and I have experienced both its joys and its hardships. 

Having spent decades away from home, I have to say that no matter how much I enjoy my journey or where I end up, I will always have a place in my heart for my hometown. and that the situation that led to my departure had never occurred.I vouch for the adage that says, Home is where the heart belongs.” If there is anywhere I want to live in the future or next world, it will be my hometown, void of circumstances and pressures that led to my quest abroad in the first place.

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Your celebrity of the day 

It’s true that I respect a lot of individuals, particularly those who lead well-organised lives. those who become great after starting from nothing. I respect and learn from these folks in addition to admiring them. For me, your story—what you stand for and against—determines your level of fame.

It’s awful that the main stream and societies thrust down on us people that do not share our vision, features, interests, and way of life, and because of the benefits that come from popularity, everyone, irrespective of what they represent, is sponsored and promoted.Everyone aspires to fame, which undermines the virtues of ethics, diligence, and morals.

As an introvert, I enjoy interacting with people who make me feel better, who teach me new things, and who give my life meaning. 

I’ve had the chance to meet some musicians one-on-one who are well-known throughout the world, and I’ve even taken pictures with them. However, I don’t consider them famous since their brand of fame doesn’t fit with my moral.

This isn’t meant to be disparaging. I must admit that I am the most well-known and infamous person I have ever met; it is neither an arrogant nor an egocentric issue on my side because I am yet to meet some of the renowned people I hold in high regard.

What is good about having a pet?

Jimmy the dog, I still love

The fact that I still loved and mourned Jimmy, our family dog, after thirty years was unbelievable to me. I had always promised myself that I would get a dog whenever I felt comfortable doing so. I had known Jimmy since I was a child. Consequently, she was older than me. Simultaneously calm, affectionate, protective, and entertaining. Her passing was heavy on the entire family because she was adored by Everyone.

I could think of a tonne of wonderful things I remembered about Jimmy.

Partnership and companionship are the some of them. She was someone you could rely on as a friend. Jimmy was always willing to accompany me on errands, so I don’t have to worry about loneliness.Having a dog as a pet altered my understanding of respect, love, trust, and companionship. It takes a dog to believe in love. My memories of Jimmy are the main factor behind my decision to obtain a dog as a pet in a nearest future .

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

My gateway to the virtual world

Nowadays, family requirements take precedence over personal demands, so at my age, I hardly remember the most costly personal gift or the last of such treatment. As strange as that seems, it’s true.

I used to pamper myself to the fullest extent possible before I became a responsible family guy; I enjoy fine dining and fashion. I spent a lot of money on shoes, watches, and clothing. Not a big-brand consumer or fashionista I do, however, dress according to my income level. I also look good on them. But as I became a family man, I recognised that in order to partially meet my family’s demands, I would have to defer, if not abandon, the majority of my needs.

I take my sanity seriously, regardless of my financial state.I would prefer not to take the chance of having some of my work and updates slowed down, delayed, or even ruined due to inferior products; in other words, gadgets such as phones and laptops are gateways to the online world. Social media and the internet are the only tools that facilitate my work and provide a shortcut to the virtual world.

Many people will either be dissatisfied or intrigued by my and your most expensive purchase, depending on our differences and degree of financial freedom. But that’s what makes us unique, as I’ve always stated.

The most costly personal items I have purchased for myself are my laptop and phone. Since they are just as precious as or more valuable than the prices, I have no regrets about their cost in relation to their significance in my life.

What was your favorite subject in school?

Literary enlightenment and the hypocrisy of the government

Democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but I bet it’s not.

In high school, I was not only interested in government but also excelled at the subject. The rest of my grades were A-level, with my lowest being a C.

Coming from a war-torn, impoverished, and marginalised area of Eastern Nigeria, I was eager to learn about the significance of government and its policies in relation to my “country” and, more specifically, my region. studying the laws and history of the nation before independence. The lack of practice of the subject’s teachings made me even more irritated. 

Democracy is a falsehood, especially in Nigeria, where they claimed it is the governance of the people, by the people, and for the people.but its not. The will of the people is subverted by corrupt few.

Literature

During my early school years, I also had an interest in literature. I enjoy reading books with compelling plots and using literary devices like metaphors, irony, hyperbole, and sacarsm. It is both lovely and captivating to use this terminology in my daily writing and everyday communication. 

I was able to develop my literary mind by reading classics like Chinua Achebe’s works, Shakespeare, and Wole Soyinka. Twelve Nights, Romeo and Juliet, Marchant of Venice. things   Fall apart; anthill of savana and arrow of gods, to name a few.

A handful of them helped me comprehend the notion of writing and influencing people through pen and paper.

I became aware of humanity’s dishonesty and untruth when I became interested in government. while literature, as one of my favourite subjects, teaches me how to use pen and paper to impact humanity positively.

Do you need time?

Time is What happens to us.

Life is time; it’s what takes place when we are preoccupied with other matters. Why am I in need of time? 

It is a continuous process that doesn’t repeat itself. Also our most valuable possession; everything else is centred around. 

Do I need time? Is a question really that easy yet so challenging?

I make an effort to take advantage of time, knowing full well that it doesn’t wait for anyone. When we were younger, we believed we had endless time. However, without adequate knowledge, preparation, and direction, we wasted a lot of it on pointless activities that we only regretted later.

As we age, we come to the realisation that we are running out of it. Yes, I do require time. I responded. For what, though? to make amends for my wrongs. Improve myself in all aspects. Yes.

I asked my elderly coworker, who is in his late 50s, a similar question. *** What is your greatest life regret? Or how would you have avoided this situation? I enquired.

Nothin’. He said, “Nothing.” His expression suggested that the question took him by surprise. Eventually, he said. I have only one regret. Missing the opportunity to meet with my only brother on his sick bed before he passed because of a night with a random girl. But that’s what makes me me. He ended. I regret nothing. Except that.

 Like my colleague Everyone of us has one regret or the other, and that is what makes us unique. Acknowlagding Our mistakes are the first step towards redemption. We all need time because it is the only way to right our wrongs in life.Indeed, time is what happens to us while we are busy with other things.
