Blame, intuitively, is an indirect transfer, self-exoneration & abnegation of responsibility, regardless of the parties involved. When things don't turn out the way one expects, owning up to the causes rather than apportioning faults, gives one the corrective insight for amends.

No one ever achieved anything great by allowing themselves to be influenced by petty talks, dissuasive facades and antagonistic tantrums from bittered naysayers. Believing and trusting in oneself is, primarily the driving force that propels one to achieving those beautiful ideas.

I think, one of the erroneous views we share in this clime of ours, is the misconstruing & misplacement of religion for spirituality. The 2 are practically different. Religion is a choice. A panoramic practice of spirituality helps one be in sync with, or meet the Creator's will.

Sharing or setting a preference for core humanistic values with others would always amount to giving out that open arm of embrace with those we come across. But, in the process we should be alert enough to know when it crosses the line. There's a limit to what everyone tolerates.

Poor, destructive choices/actions are most times done in a haste. So, the next time you're about to embark on an irascible decision, rescind for a moment, control your impulse & tinker through, to see if it's really worth the angst & stress. This could eliminate a lot of regrets.

Feats that are evidently enviable and impactful are practically achieved by relentless investment of time, dedication, struggles & commitment. Don't be fooled, a shortcut to success never exist; where it does—it's transient. Rome itself wasn't built in a day. Perseverance is key!

Being competitive isn't bad; it literally hinges on one's view. Competition is the fuel that drives one's burning enthusiasm to excel. But then, the fine line's, knowing 'where & how' to unleash one's competitive desire. The big picture should be 'focus on oneself'; & not others.

Set hypocrisy aside; it'd always be an integral part of being human. No one pleases everyone. But, in the process of such underpinning how do you go about it? Do you allow your cognitive disposition to be beclouded by self-centered sentiments? Or, is it done to engender progress?

Don't get it twisted, mumbling & grumbling's never resolved any issue. What does, is the creative will power & courage to facilitate the needful. When things go sour, focusing on the root cause; 'why' rather than 'what' makes the subtle difference. It enables the room for fixes.

Being too judgemental & excessively critical is an indirect reflection of one's inability to tolerate & accommodate other's intrinsic trait. The biodiversity in everyone concomitantly breeds the unique rationality in human thoughts. Spotting this is vital to addressing any rift.

Fear, timidity & complacency have been some of the self-defeating attributes that have unfortunately prevented many from moving forward. Progress is effected by initiating those vital steps; no matter how little. Everything one needs is always embedded in the other side of fear.

In every downtime & delay one encounters, there's always a serendipitous inclination to it. That said, seeing triumph & opportunities in the midst of uncertainty and mishap, is one sure way to turning situations around. Most mishaps are inadvertently a stepping stone to success.

There's that fine line between constructive criticism & fault finding. Ironically, both thoughts emerge from what we hear, see or perceive. Helpful criticisms emerge from an illumined mind whilst the other's indirectly an expression of a sadistic, egocentric self. Spot & discern!

Abdicating from challenge is tantamount to being disconnected from the windpipe that oxygenates the life and growth in humans. Training oneself at all times, to accept & tackle challenges, regardless of its nature, further empower one's effort & mental acuity to improve its weal.

One of the key reasons people suffer acute depression in life is, mainly, that they always try to either attach, or subject their overall state of being to the subliminal & reactive conjectures of public validation and eulogies. Perkiness can only be derived from your self-worth.

Although life's journey's practically determined by accurate timing & precision; don't get it mixed up. That beautiful idea you've been delaying because you're waiting for the right timing may never materialize. With the little resources you're able to pull through, get-starting!

As for Africa's abysmal state of development & unimpressive leadership we've experienced in decades, it could arguably be tied to the quality of decisions & execution of policies on the part of the leaders. But, as for continual repressive socioeconomic practices; who's to blame?

Innovation indeed, is bringing conceived ideas into actual existence, but in the process of innovating: have you had an introspection on why you're making such moves. Have you really thought-out if the said idea would really be of value, or, it's just unnecessarily a competition.

Never be too afraid, despaired & overwhelmed when you're subjected to torrential attack. People only vehemently react to & attack what they're either not conversant with, or scared of. In such times, remain aplomb, focused & trust the process; only time & perseverance would tell.
