Rise And Fight!

Image
Hey, lovers of good music, I have brought to you three inspiring tunes that summarize my theme which says  #RiseAndFight  for this week's edition of  #ttt . Grab your earpiece and enjoy. Rise -Katy Perry Released in 2016. The reason why I chose this song today is because of some of the setbacks I've been facing lately, it's unexplainable, but sometimes I just think it's hard to do life. It's been a tough ride lately, from one challenge to another but though it's hard to do life, I will not just exist, I will live! I won't just survive, oh I will thrive. This is my superpower!!! Watching this music video gives me some sort of superpower, especially the part where Katy's Pery was drowned in water and then she was trying to survive, even though her parachute was preventing her, she kept fighting to rise again, and the part too where her parachute was stuck in a cliff and then she hanged. The videos prove that there is no smooth ride to life. Tough situation...

Against All Odds.

Image
Source I developed thick skin, They tried to break me and throw me into a trash bin, Murmurs and making fun of me, But I let it slide and let them be. Side talks don't get to me, Momma taught me to be soft and mean, Mean that I don't get bothered by what they say, Soft that I can feel at the end of the day. So I walked away, To a place, I could find solace, pray and stay. My mental health means a lot to me, Happiness and peace of mind are key, Whatever will get me down on my knee, Is to be connected to thee. So I walked in between the trees, There I was alone with my thought and free, Curled up in my dreamworld, To be back again, me against the real world. I shall not cower, For I've got superpowers, From God and my thoughts, To fight them all against all odds. Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

Take Charge Of Your Life.

Image
Hello, lovers of good music, I bring you good tunes that remind you to take charge of your life for this edition of  #ttt  . Jordin Sparks   -One step at a time Released in 2007 This beautiful song brings the value of patience to play, as much as we want everything to work in a twinkle of an eye, we still need to take things slowly, more like taking one day at a time. It is more like allowing time to play in our lives, ensuring we pass through the process to success, like this quote. Rome was not built in a day. Most of us believe in ourselves and we can't wait to show the world what we are made of. Just like this part of the lyrics. You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet". You wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it" and "You know you can if you get the chance" In your face as the door keeps slamming." Now you're feeling more and more frustrated," and "And you're getting all kind of impatient, waiting....

No Pain, No Gain!

Image
You have to exert yourself vigorously, Stretch some more, Walk out of your comfort zone, Do hard things. Because nothing good comes easily. Source It may come with pain, Aches, unsure moments, Sleepless night, Fears and worries, You just have to swallow the pain, Because, eventually, it will pay off. Consistency while at it is the aim, Determination and focus, To finish the race. Remember, No pain, No gain! Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

The man in the mirror.

Image
Source They all see who they wanna see, But you can't lie to yourself, Who truly are you? The eyes that look so mean and fierce out there, Had cried a million tears, They all judge you from their perspective, What can you say about yourself? Looking at the mirror what do you see? The scars behind the man who looks strong out there, A broken heart waiting to be healed. A man too tired but holding on. Wanting to please others but cheating himself, Are you satisfied with the man you are when you look in the mirror? Everybody expects so much from you, This wants you to live your life this way, That wants this kind of life for you. What kind of life do you want for yourself? Everyone else leaves when the going gets tough, But the man in the mirror staring at you, Sticks right to the very end. If staring at your reflection scares the shits out of you, Then you need to face the real you, And do you. For if, you've ever desired a change in your life, It should begin with the man you se...

Do You Believe?

Image
Whitney Houston ft Mariah Carey  - When you believe Released in 1998. This song is evergreen, should we talk about the two vocalists? Or the beautiful message the song passes? Take your time to listen to this uplifting song. Do you believe in Miracles? Hold on before you answer, miracles can come in different forms, your dreams turning into a reality is a miracle, I hope you know that, how about prayers answered? Or finding help when you needed it the most or least expected? Let's just say a miracle is something we feel is impossible to achieve but achieved anyways. Take a look at these particular lyrics. Oh yeah, in this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain Hope seems like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away Yet now I'm standing here My heart is so full I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'll say Here this song proved that there can be a very thin line between hope and despair, which are you choosing? To believe? Or to give...

Several missed calls.

Image
"I don't like what you always do, you are always like this Jane!!", Jude angrily left the house slamming the door Jane placed his hands on her ears to ensure her ear drum wasn't damaged. After Jude angrily left, Jane managed to have her seat right in front of the dressing mirror and stared at herself for a while, she was in a blue dress, her husband's favorite color, and her hair was messy as they'd been arguing for a while, " Why do we always quarrel over trivial matter?", she asked herself as her eyes were fixed on the mirror, sooner enough the tears dripped down her cheek, "This isn't the kind of marriage I planned for..why...?", she sniffed and then blinked severally trying to halt the tears from falling from her eyes. Earlier that day, Jane had forgotten to close the toilet seat, and Jude had always told her how much he hated the seat to be up. Jane repeated the same thing and Jude got angry, and then he brought up all the other ug...

The Commitment.

Image
My name is Benita and this is my story. While growing up, I grew up in a divided home and watched how hard it was for my mom to carter for me and my siblings. I vowed never to get married, because I fear experiencing a similar situation, I turned down so many guys because I was too scared to be hitched, but then I realized that one's grace isn't another's grace. Because it ended badly for my dad and mom doesn't mean it would end badly for me. I decided to have a positive view and mindset after encountering a very happy couple named the "Johnsons". It is not like they never fought they learned how to manage it. Mrs. Johnson taught me the ingredients that could make up a lasting home, commitment, communication, forbearance, tolerance, compromise, taking responsibility for one's actions, gratitude for the little your partner does, and respecting boundaries are the major ingredients of a lasting marriage. " Benita, love is not enough." She said. Late...

What lies within your heart to give...Can you even pour out from an empty cup?

Image
How do you tell a person you love them, When you don't even love yourself? Is it even possible to pour from an empty cup? The truth is you cannot give what you don't have. Learn to care for yourself first, And see how effortlessly you care for others, Love yourself enough not to hurt yourself, Love yourself enough to know when to distance yourself from those whose energy doesn't match yours, People who make you feel less of yourself. How do you even compliment others When you don't even love how you look? Source You want people to affirm you every day when you fail to speak positivity into your life, How is it even possible? Pray for yourself first and see how easy it becomes to pray for others, How do you seek peace in the world, When you are in chaos with yourself? Do you seek forgiveness? Have you forgiven yourself for the silly mistake you made in the past? Have you let go of what is hurting you? Do that and see how easy it would be to let go of other people's e...

What makes us human?

Image
What makes us human? Source This question is broad you will agree with me. Well from my perspective, what makes us human are; Conscience The inner mind which tells us right from wrong makes us human, however many people have trained their conscience to do dirty and shitty things which makes life hard now for others. Culture What is humanity without tradition and culture? Culture makes us human, varieties of our food, music, and other cultural trait make us human. This trait shapes our thinking and behavior and influence who we are. Language and Speech Animals indeed communicate, however, the language of humans, being able to express themselves either thru sign language, body language or speech makes us human, makes it easy to understand each other and live together. Imagination The ability to make use of our brains and foresight makes us human. Having to see things from the eyes of our mind, and imagining our visions, goals, and dreams makes us human don't you think so? Love and mo...
