Protect Your Space

Image
It's okay to set boundaries.. They keep us safe from intruders.. You don't need to over share.. Privacy is power. What people don't know.. They can't ruin.. Boundaries are like fences.. It says.. "Stop Here" This space is mine. Setting boundaries is a balanced view to life.. Teaches people how to treat us.. And how much we prioritize peace.. It's okay to say No When done with respect It fosters clarity & alignment And lead us to self discovery We don't always have to prove a point We don't always have to shrink or make excuses for others.. Boundaries are our powerful tools. Teaching others where you draw the line What's accepted and what is not.. Where there is no law, there is no sin.. Where there is law, discipline abounds. Where there is discipline.. There's honor, wholesome fear, and awareness.. And once your limit is established.. Everyone knows where to draw the line. Just as a book cover protect its pages.. Boundaries does the sa...

Someone asked me,  "what are dreams?" For a moment, I paused and reflected.. Dreams mean different things to different people. But for all I know, they are more than a wild imagination.. I am aware that to some, It's a divine connection. A revelation.. Insight or inspiration.. A journey to critical thinking. But to me dreams are what fuel my soul.. A drive in pursuit of what mean the most to me. A powerful tool to cast my fears away.. A quest for more and a place to be bare. A place to be unstoppable.. A boost to my happiness.. The place where everything come alive.. A sneak peek to who I am, my goals and desires. Dreams are my power of reasoning.. A trip to self-discovery.. My fondest moment.. A place where I take charge. Dreams are a reminder that everything can be achievable.. If I set my heart to it. Deep connections and emotions.. Zeal, truth, drive and motivation. What are your dreams? Ready to chase them? Be unstoppable.. In connection to what set your soul on fire...

Dear Mama.

Image
First, she changed her name after falling in love with the love of her life.. Then she became naive immediately when she found out she had a bump.. A newbie in the motherhood game but still determined to be the best at it.. Right from day one..she nurtured the foetus in her with so much affection. So many sleepless nights.. Swollen legs.. Back pain.. Headaches.. Unnecessary fats.. Swollen nose and face.. Yet she wore her new skin with pride as she walked everywhere.. I could hear her pray for me to be safe and great.. And that day came.. I came out.. Lo and behold another journey embarked.. How do I protect my little one? How do I teach her the ways of the lord? Then she began from infancy.. Inculcating values and virtues in me.. Never to deviate from them when I'm grown. You were firm yet you were kind.. Making sure I grow up to be someone great.. Your prayers covered me like a duvet. Your smiles made me feel safe.. Mama would sacrifice her time for me, Mama would go hungry to ens...

Hello

As beautiful as you should be. Love your flaws, Love yourself, Practice self-care.. Hello! You're as beautiful as you should be.

Live And Let Live.

Image
Ever noticed how people bloom when they are complimented? The simple truth is. People thrive where they are watered.. Take a look at the beautiful garden around you.. Ever notice how they bloom when they are well nurtured? Words have great powers. To make or mare a person. Funny enough just a little compliment. Makes the other person the happiest. Which in turn improves productivity. Are you gracious with your speech? Yes, talk is cheap but then choose your words carefully. Wanna see people thrive? Speak kindly to them. Wanna see people productive? Motivate them with your words. And see how positive they will become. Stay positive too and help the world to be a better place. The image is mine.

The World Wouldn't Pause For You!

Image
The world will not pause for you, It's high time you took charge of your life. Live it to the fullest. It doesn't matter what people think of you, Your happiness should be a paramount thing, Face your fear, Take adventure. Do one thing that brings you closer to your dream, Be fearless in the pursuit of what set your soul on fire. In the end, Life is life regardless, All that counts is how well you lived your life.

Everything Must Meet Their End.

Image
Eventually, all things must meet their end. From dusk till dawn, they bloom until that fateful day. They bend, fall and die. There's no beginning without an end, Take heart in knowing that the troubles you face will eventually come to an end someday. Even the life we live is not promised and will come to an end, Make each day count while you are still alive, Bloom and thrive. Find solace and tranquillity and do the things that bring you the most happiness.. Because the once vibrant you will soon be fragile and softly we will surrender to Mother Earth. Just like a beautiful leave adorned in all its glory, Eventually falls and withers.. So all things will eventually come to their fateful end..

I Will Rise!

Image
It started with my mind, I battled with many thoughts and doubted many possibilities. I began to run, run away from me, my worries and all the troubles. But tell me, how can a man run away from himself? I began to change my mindset and gradually began to roll my troubles to an unknown place, So that I can find peace and breathe again. I fell a thousand times, finding my way back home, I managed to raise my head high and look. My eyes saw hope standing in front of me, Reaching out to me with outstretched arms. If only I can crawl back home, then I will rise again. I won't give up, and I won't back down, this journey may seem long and rough, but I will find my way back. With a positive mindset, I can make it through! image    Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.  

Life And Uncertainties.

Image
Life is full of uncertainties, Unforeseen occurrence overtakes us all, The house standing today might be in ruins tomorrow, Nothing in life is promised. You that you are still standing, Why do you mock the one that has fallen? Beware, for you might fall too. Do not boast about what you have for it might be in ruins tomorrow. A home might be desolate tomorrow, Seeking those whom we love, Death might be knocking unexpectedly, This is a reminder that life here on earth is futile, And even the works of man might be in ruin - all vanity. Take one day at a time, Why do you fuss over what you can't control? Why do you dwell on your past? Life isn't promised, do all you can today for tomorrow might be too late.

Mere Human..

Image
There are certain times we wish we could go back and right our wrongs, And do better because just one silly mistake can ruin everything, Mere humans we are, Prone to fall and make mistake, What we do after the mistake is all that matters, Pain, regrets and a willing attitude to do better, With time it gets better. When you fall, don't stay down, Get up, face it and do better, Mere human you are, You are not immune to making a silly mistake. Take responsibility for your actions and show the world that you will rise again. Image Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.  

A Tired Mind.

Image
How do you cope when your mind is divided? And there's so much to do in so little time? She sat in silence and allowed her mind to wander. Her soul whispered."When you are overwhelmed, how do you stay grounded?" "What do you do when your soul feels tired and your mind craves serenity?" All she wants is a moment away from the chaos in the world and to find peace amidst the battles inside her head. Her mind is tired. Lacking the motivation to push like it always does. A little break wouldn't hurt, she soliloquized. And probably a moment to declutter the mind, but then her stubborn head says, " "Just a second, and you'll be fine."

Love Your Scars.

Image
Love your scars, They are a reminder of all you have been through... The hurt, The pain, The struggles, The rejections, The heartache, Sleepless night, Curious eyes, Your fears, Insecurities... Uncertainties. And beautiful imperfections.. Your scars make you beautiful, They remind you of the many battles you've fought, And how you conquered. Though  It tore you.. You bled.. But then, you healed and moved on. Love what makes you,  YOU. Your SCARS are beautiful. Because nobody knows what it takes to be You!

In The End, Love Will Save The Day.

Image
Love is beautiful yet love is pain, Pain for when we lose the ones we love, We lose ourselves too, And so we detach ourselves from everything we once loved. Detachment in turn protects us from pain, However, it restricts us from falling in love genuinely once again. And deprives us of understanding how love works.. Loving is harder than we see in the movies, Loving requires effort. Loving is taking a chance on someone.. It might be sweet and it might tear you apart.. But choosing to love is the best feeling ever regardless.. It gives you some sense of belonging.. It makes you powerful. It makes you the better version of yourself. And pushes you beyond your limit.. Love helps you understand how the world works. That beautiful things exist, Simple gestures can make you smile, That can beautiful things happen in the strangest place, And with the one whom you never envisaged it would be with..

Find Your Peace!

Image
Would you choose peace over chaos? Would you choose peace over toxicity even if it's coming from someone you adore? Are you on the verge of losing it? Have you lost your mind? Does your mind race to the world of fantasy? Do you crave to find yourself one more time? When the world is going insane would you prioritize your mental health over the chaos? Do you need to explain your every move? When people doubt you, would you live in your truth and bloom? Drowning in your worries? Are there things out of your control?? Find a quiet place for meditation, Take a deep breath, Please choose peace. Peace is priceless, When they hurt you, the best revenge is to be at peace with yourself, Everything doesn't need a reaction, Find your peace. Peace is not so expensive, Yet not many can offer it, And many cannot even afford it. Many are still trying to find their balance from an aching heart to a chaotic world. When it feels like your world is falling apart, Remember that your peace is what ...

Game Of A Hustler.

Image
Photo by  @wakeupkitty Sweet is the sleep of a lazy man, A little more sleep and slumber, He gradually falls into the wicked hands of poverty... A man who lacks ambition, Has no plan. A hustler I am, I hit the road every day, Whether it is raining or sunny, I go again. The city never sleeps, Even on public holidays, Being an entrepreneur, I gotta hit the road again. Sleepy eyed, Tired bones, Yet, I remind myself of the prize ahead. So I rise!! Every day comes with a new mindset, Winning is a must! New goals to smash. Focused, as I drive.. Today I go again! I give it my best or nothing, As each day breaks, I rise with focus and faith, Hoping my hard work pays off. I am not quitting this hustling game, Because I am a Fighter, strong and Capable. I am confident my hard work will pay off soon. Lord, I Go again.. Bless this day O' thee. That I may smile and conquer at the end of the day.

Entropy.. Effort And Action!

Image
Everything loses order with time, isn't it? Flowers that bloom today die tomorrow, Beauty gardens can suddenly be overtaken by weeds, A young and beautiful face eventually gets wrinkled, A person with so much strength eventually becomes meager.... The young get old.. Elastics someday will lose their elasticity. Time ticks and passes away... How productive can you be? Just like puzzles can be solved, With effort, you can fight against entropy to a certain degree. Just like a leaking roof requires effort to fix it, And a beautiful garden needs constant effort to pull out weeds from the garden.. And flowers need constant watering to bloom... So too, a healthy status requires a healthy lifestyle, Physical and mental exercise and a good diet are not so easy to maintain.. And so too relationships require effort to thrive, There is so much work to be done.. Love needs to be nurtured, Communication needs to be constant, Boundaries needs to be respected, And so much more... Source Just so y...

Why?

Image
Source Why do our friends eventually turn into strangers? Why do people who claim to love us do us wrong intentionally? Why does most love go sour after marriage? Why do people judge us without knowing what it feels like to walk in our shoes? Why are we afraid of our fears? Why do people forget the good we've done just because of one mistake? Why is life too complicated? Why are we too scared to be vulnerable? Why do people cherish their egos more than the people in their lives? Why do we say I am fine when we are asked how we are even when we are not fine? Why do our teachers give us examinations to test our level of understanding, is it that they have trust issues? Do we have to follow all rules? Why can we say "Give her  her  book but cannot say. Give him  HIM  book? 😝😝 Why does the Alphabet begin with A and ends with Z? Why is the sky blue? Why was the clock made to go clockwise? Why can't we eat through our nose? Why can't we walk upside down? When did time be...
