WHERE IS MY GOLDEN TEETH

-


I found myself seating in one corner sober, tired and sweating profusely. I'm so done for. I just can't make anything tangible out of my scattered and unpleasant life.... those were the words I kept telling myself.

I got worn out of going about doing the same thing with no result to show for it, gone for too many interviews for which I know I'm more than qualified for, still no job and no means to an end.

I've always hoped for a little bit of stability in my life even if it's just one thing. The family which should have been the foundation of my stability in life, was never strong. My family is another headache on it's own, so you see you could probably or not imagine what I went through. 

My Mum on the other hand lived her reckless life; alcohol addictions  and dad you'd never know the difference between when he's at home and when he's not, always out of the house earlier than anyone because of work, comes late everyday after having nice time with his concubines, so everything was just up side down, and at some point all my dreams are aspirations just seem to be a mirage, and mere illusion that can never be achieved,but then I was determined to get more from life.

Seating down in my frustration, and the sweet bitter thought of suicide kept flashing through my mind, I never believed I'd even ever consider committing suicide, I could remember clearly, as the picture looks fresh in my mind just like the fresh milk of a diary cattle. Way back in my college days "I'd always say to my friends no matter what guy I can never think of committing suicide" and here am I considering it as my last best option 

just then I saw a piece of paper on the floor with the words of Albert Einstein "only a mad man does the same thing, the same way over and over again and yet expects a different result". Then it occurred to me, I've always done all I've been doing the same way and I've been expecting a different result, which obviously would never come, then I gathered myself, stood up and decided to give life one more chance..

"The little you know, the shallow your mind but the more you know the broader your horizon"

I changed my approach to life entirely, changed my mindset, and here am I just 3months after, standing like I'd never tasted frustration, having a better life, a good job beyond what I could have ever imagined, so it was there all along, i just didn't dig deep.... then I said to myself "everything you want to achieve you can always achieve, you just have to check wether you are taking the right approach or not"

My golden tooth was never missing it was there all along.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
