Did you ever love someone just as they are?
Love them so much that you saw the beauty
deep within their heart?
Love them so much that they were so beautiful
on the outside, as well as on the inside to
you?
Now, I am not talking about that unhealthy
kind of “love” where you are obsessed with
someone that is not good for you.
I am talking about that person
who you truly feel amazing
affection for and admire.
Can you recall someone that
you felt that way for?
Usually parents feel that way
about their children.
Often children feel that way about their
grandparents.
Couples primarily feel that way on their
wedding day.
The feeling of loving someone just the way
they are at any given moment is soothing to
the heart and soul.
Now, let me ask you this….
Do you feel that love for yourself?
I sure hope you do, because you should.
Can you look in the mirror and love yourself
just the way you are in that moment?
Do you appreciate your unique abilities and
voice?
Do you ever say “Wow!” when you think about
yourself?
You should be saying proudly “YES!” to these
three questions.
And, if you are not, (and even if you
already do) I would love for you to sing this
song Just The way you are by Bruno Mars to yourself.
Tell yourself that you love yourself just as you are.
Sing it out loud and be proud!
Be very proud!
Smile and enjoy yourself.
Though you wonder in this day and age how can any woman or
man have self confidence in themselves when
every where you turn there are photos and
pictures of the way we `should` look. Models of women who look so thin a puff of wind would blow them over. Or being brainwashed
into thinking that extra weight makes you a
complete loser and you`ll never amount to
anything.
There are many forms of beauty. Seen and
unseen. Too many people judge others by
their appearance and not for what they are
or for the beauty their soul possesses.
A lot of hurt and rejection are placed on
people because no one ever takes the time to
know them. It is what beats in your heart,
the love in your soul that shines through that
matters., I don`t care what anyone looks
like. I will love you for who you are not for
your looks.
It seems so simple and yet its not. I think its
human nature to be attracted to someone
because of appearance, but in the end does it
matter....no, not to me.
Our bodies are a shell that when the time
comes we will leave behind. Our bodies will
either be buried or burned. Our soul will go
on. You cannot destroy that.
I was always self conscience until the last
couple of years. I am who I am. This is the
way I was made. Just like you were made the
way you were. Be happy with yourself and
love yourself. Do things to please you. There
is nothing wrong with being a little selfish.
Happiness starts with us first. Before you
can spread love you have to love yourself.
Those who hurt us and ridicule us or reject
us may look really good, but in the end, they
will suffer. I don`t hate these people. I feel
sorry for them.
I love myself no matter what, and more
importantly I love you all just the way you
are.

“If you are stealing people's thunder

“Some of us are crèmes brûlées,

“The enemy uses those things your
insecure about. Free yourself and take
your power back by being secure in who
you are - flaws and all.”
― Yvonne Pierre, The Day My Soul Cried:
“I know, now, without a doubt that the true
source of happiness, self-worth, and authentic
beauty doesn't come from the outside. Women
are constantly being persuaded to want
something unachievable, to look younger or
thinner and above all to fit in because being
different is too painful and embarrassing. I
have accepted myself in a world that does not
accept me, because I have learned [ . . . ] that
our hearts matter most... It's a beautiful
heart, not a perfect body, that leads to a
beautiful life.”

Incredible Story of Hope, Triumph, and
Everyday Joy
“I think that if you have a horse,
pegasus, qilin, or unicorn, you should sit
on it! You should stroke its hair, whisper
in its ear, be one with it! And you
shouldn't feel sorry if other people don't have
one.”
― C. JoyBell C.
“There's something AMAZING about
you. You owe it to yourself to fulfill your
destiny. You were put on earth for a
reason. Don't betray yourself because
of other people opinions of who you should be.
God has already implanted within you who you
MEANT to be. Trust your gut instincts.”

“Life is too short to waste any amount
of time on wondering what other people
think about you. In the first place, if
they had better things going on in their
lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around
and talk about you. What's important to me is
not others' opinions of me, but what's
important to me is my opinion of myself.”

“You can be the most beautiful person in
the world and everybody sees light and
rainbows when they look at you, but if
you yourself don't know it, all of that
doesn't even matter. Every second that you
spend on doubting your worth, every moment
that you use to criticize yourself; is a second
of your life wasted, is a moment of your life
thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so
don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw
even one of your moments away.”
― C. JoyBell C.
“As long as you look for someone else to
validate who you are by seeking their
approval, you are setting yourself up for
disaster. You have to be whole and
complete in yourself. No one can give you that.
You have to know who you are - what others
say is irrelevant.”

“My hands tend to be full enough dealing
with people who hate me for who I am.
Concentrate too hard on the millions of

weight of the two hundred political buttons
they wear pinned to their coats and
knapsacks.”

“Most lives are not distinguished by
great achievements. They are measured

“I have realized; it is during the times I
am far outside my element that I
experience myself the most. That I see
and feel who I really am, the most! I
think that's what a comet is like, you see, a
comet is born in the outer realms of the
universe! But it's only when it ventures too
close to our sun or to other stars that it
releases the blazing "tail" behind it and shoots
brazen through the heavens! And meteors
become sucked into our atmosphere before
they burst like firecrackers and realize that
they're shooting stars! That's why I enjoy
taking myself out of my own element, my own
comfort zone, and hurling myself out into the
unknown. Because it's during those scary
moments, those unsure steps taken, that I am
able to see that I'm like a comet hitting a new
atmosphere: suddenly I illuminate
magnificently and fire dusts begin to fall off
of me! I discover a smile I didn't know I had, I
uncover a feeling that I didn't know existed in
me... I see myself. I'm a shooting star. A
meteor shower. But I'm not going to die out. I
guess I'm more like a comet then. I'm just
going to keep on coming back.”

I am the sufficient representation of

things. God did not see it needful to make me
generic. He thinks I am better than that.”

“Low self-esteem causes me to believe that I
have so little worth that my response does not

which get bent by sin.”

Johannesburg - The youth of the African
continent should prepare themselves for a
rebellion against their older generation and
claim their leadership role Thabo Mbeki said
on Saturday.
Mbeki who was addressing the Youth 21
global leadership forum in Nairobi, Kenya
said two thirds of the continent's population
was the youth and that in 2045 they would
be the leaders responsible for the two billion
projected continental population.
"To ensure that [the youth] actually
exercises the leadership everybody
rhetorically accepts and proclaims is its due,
the youth must organise and ready itself to
rebel, so to speak!"
"It would obviously be unnatural that I, a
member of the older generation, would easily
and willingly accept that younger people, my
own children, should, at best, sit side-by-
side with me as co-leaders, fully empowered
to help determine the future of our people,"
he said.
He said the new generation should define its
unique and historic contribution to their
societies' development, otherwise it ran the
risk of betraying its mission which would
condemn the continent to "the out-dated
views and prejudices of the older
generations".
He said the continent's future depended on
achieving the objectives in African Youth
Charter of "peace and security, democracy
and good governance, economic growth and
development and gender equality" to which
all African Union member states were bound
to.
For the youth to take up their leadership
role, it was imperative that Youth 21 global
forum establish how the older generation
should enable them to "discharge their
obligation to exercise leadership" and
"organise itself to play this role...in the in
struggle for the realisation of its goals,"
said Mbeki.

How are you?
How are you doing today?
How’s it going?
These are questions you get asked many times
each day. If you are like most, you reply
quickly with the same answer you always give.
Fine, how are you?
I’m good, how about you?
OK, and you?
These questions have become customs in our
culture. They are as common as the handshake
and almost as meaningless. The handshake used
to be a bond or a promise. It was a guarantee
of a man’s word. “Let’s shake on it”. Today the
handshake has been replaced with a 14 page
contract drawn up by lawyers. A handshake
today is a mere pleasantry, something you do
upon meeting and greeting someone. When
someone extends their hand to you, yours
automatically extends to meet theirs, it’s
customary. In the same sense, we say “Hi” or
“Hello” as an expression of greeting. It comes
natural, we don’t have to work on remembering
to say hello when we greet someone. Hello, in
itself, requires no thought from the person to
whom it was directed. It doesn’t ask anything
of them, it is simply a pleasantry. Somewhere
along the way we added “How are you?” to
“hello,” but we really just lengthened the
pleasantry.
Let’s be honest, out of all the times you
have said, “Hello, how are you?” or “I’m
fine, how are you?” how often do you really
mean: I’m concerned about you. I love you
and care about you. I really want to know
what is going on in your world because I
want to know if there is a way I can help.
Now before you answer, let’s all remember
what our day to day life is like. We are all
very, very busy… multitasking, jobs, kids,
school, traffic, etc. Take a quick look at your
calendar… How many entries are listed for an
honest response to the question, “How are
you?” Do you really have time for three people
a day to actually tell you the truth? In fact,
do you really have the time to tell anyone the
truth when you’re asked? Do you have anyone
in your life that you trust enough to tell them
the truth if they asked?
Imagine with me for a minute that Jesus is
sitting across from you right now. He lovingly
smiles at you and says, “Hello, how are you?”
What is your response? Do you answer the
same way you do when everyone else asks? The
Creator of the universe has just asked how
you are. What do you say? What do you
trust Him with enough to share with Him? God
is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and
the end, He knows all things, and in fact, He
knows how you are doing right now better than
you do. Do you know how many hairs are on
your head today? He does. He already knows
any and everything you could possibly share
with him and yet He asks you… He gives you
the choice and the opportunity to talk about
anything you desire. Let’s imagine further that
Jesus speaks again asking, “Is there any hurt
place in your heart you would like Me to heal?
Is there any area in your life right now that
needs encouraging? Is there anything you
would like Me to speak to? Is there anything
at all I can do for you… or are you OK?”
Now our mind begins to race. Jesus has just
asked me if there is anything He can heal,
encourage, speak to or am I OK. Almost like
He was heading out to the store and said, “I’m
going out to get a few things, do you need
anything, or are you OK?” Do I trust God
enough to ask Him for help? Do I trust God
enough to admit to Him those places in my
heart that have been hurt? Do I trust God
enough with the areas in my life that have been
beaten down and need encouraging? Do I have
time to sit and talk?
Making room for people might be tough…
Making room for God is vital.
Matthew 7:7-12 The Message
Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for
what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse,
hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks
for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If
he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live
snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you
wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least
decent to your own children. So don’t you think
the God who conceived you in love will be even
better?

I try to grasp the reason you as a woman would
be ashamed to wear your natural hair when it’s
actually easier TO WEAR and should project a
more youthful you. I like to wear wigs and even
used to wear weaves in the 1990s. In fact I
stopped wearing weaves because the corn-roll
base hurt my scalp and I can’t just change my
looks like I want to…I would have to keep that
same look for 2 to 3 weeks before I can
change it, which I find very annoying and also
as I’d like to wear my natural hair and stroke
it freely.
I came to discover people believe you are poor
or are not in the circle of the big girls if you
are not wearing weaves or not wearing
Brazilian hair… hhahahaha!! Ridiculous!!! What a
cheap mentality! Consequential to this warped
perception, young women whore their bodies,
snatch their friends’ partners and other
women’s husbands and indulge in all manner of
immoralities just to buy and wear Brazilian
hair so they can belong to the circle of big
girls.
People constantly express shock at the sight
of my hair, my natural hair… They are not
accustomed to seeing ladies in Nigeria wear
their natural hair and so confidently like I do…
yes I am proud to wear my natural hair and I
do so often, even the days I wear a wig out as
soon as I get home I would take it off and let
my hair loose. It feels good for your hair to
breathe… ld mostly wearar my natural hair or
braids as i believe women of color are more
beautiful and original with natural hair, head
gears, afro or braids and I agree! Now I love
to experiment with wigs and all but I have to
wear my natural hair, crazy style sometimes
and I always feel more comfortable.
No you are wrong! Your Brazilian weave does
not distinguish you, define your personality or
your class in society… that thinking is
distorted! No your Brazilian hair and weaves
don’t make you any more beautiful…yes it’s
true that your hair should be groomed but it
must not be done with Brazilian weave to look
good.
Stop degrading yourselves and selling your
soul to the devil for cheap material
possessions just to elevate yourself. Your
problem is not the weave and the brand of
your hair, your problem is low self esteem. You
have a low estimation of yourself and need to
build your confidence through discovering and
loving the uniqueness of you and understanding
that your flaws are the catalyst to your
growth, so that your attitude towards life is
healthier.

Feminine energy is one of the most powerful
forces on earth. If you want to attract your
dream man… then you want to tap into your
infinite source of femininity. If you want to
have a long lasting passionate relationship or
marriage, then you must express your inner
femininity. If you want a man to love you and
treasure you, then you must attract him with
your femininity.
However, most women are oblivious to their
true feminine power. Just in case some of you
disagree, I want to tell you a quick story.
On an extraordinarily beautiful sunny day in
the late 1960s, a man named Arthur Bremer
attended a political rally at Parliament Hill, in
Ottawa, Canada. He had a zealous sense of
mission for the biggest and most important
day of his life. He had spent 3 whole years
preparing for this day; and had planned his
action meticulously for perfect execution (as
the masculine energy does).
He walked through a huge crowd of people. In
fact, people were just everywhere, and it was
hard to find some space. The main attraction
of this gathering was the presence of
President Richard Nixon.
Arthur was in state – nothing was going to stop
him, and his intention and desired result were
unequivocal.
He walked in to a bit of empty space at the
side of the huge crowd of people, and with
absolute strength and resolve, he reached in to
a pocket inside his jacket where he kept his
gun ready to assassinate President Richard
Nixon. He was at point blank range. With all
this masculine intensity and resolve, as he was
about to pull his gun out of his pocket,
somebody knocked him on the arm.
Full of rage and disgust for whoever or
whatever it was that broke his state, and
sabotaged his mission and his chance – the
biggest moment of his life for which he had
planned for years – he turned around to see a
tiny little lady, incredibly tiny, and amazingly
soft; and heard her say in deep concern: ‘oh
dear! I am SO SORRY! Are You OK?!’ and in
that moment showed him more love and
connection, more true feminine energy, than he
had ever received in his life.
In that moment, he lost his state completely.
And, Arthur says in his personal diary (now
published as ‘An Assassin’s Diary’), that he
just couldn’t do it. He said that he was at
point blank range, but he could not make this
soft little lady witness something so
horrendous. He didn’t want to make her see
this.
Arthur Bremer was a man who grew up in a
very disfunctional family, and was beaten and
yelled at consistently at home. He was
relentlessly mocked, teased and hated during
his entire life and throughout his schooling
years. He was a janitor. Never married, never
made love to a woman – and felt he had
absolutely no significance in his life.
His resolve to kill Richard Nixon was solely for
fame. It had nothing to do with Nixon himself;
nothing to do with any political issue or idea
that he was opposed to.
Arthur Bremer then went on to shoot Governor
Wallace in May 1972 4 times, which left
Wallace paralyzed from the waist down for
the rest of his life. For this assassination
attempt, he planned for another 2 whole
years. He was sentenced to 63 years in prison,
and on appeal this was reduced to 53 years. He
was released in November 2007 however.
FEMININITY and VULNERABILITY
The point of the story is to show just how
powerful vulnerability is – how powerful the
feminine truly is. The sheer vulnerability and
feminine softness of this little lady caused
this man’s 3-year long plan to assassinate the
president to collapse in the space of just
seconds.
The masculine energy, if it is true, wants to
protect and serve the feminine energy.
Ultimately, a man wants to make a woman
happy. The feminine woman who can give love at
the greatest level to a man beyond measure
– and accept him as he is, in his entirety – has
more power and strength than anyone can
possibly imagine.
Any man who has lived has experienced huge
challenges. In a man’s life, there are many of
them – many challenges of which women neglect
to understand, or even want to understand.
Most women are too busy thining about their
own challenges, and bemoaning the historical
struggles they, as a gender have had.
A truly feminine woman is able to give more
love than any other. Most women just don’t do
this anymore. Real and lasting love is not easy
to give. And, if you know inside that no-one
can love your man (or future man) as much as
you do – he will show up in the most amazing
ways in your life.
The problem is that like in Arthur Bremer’s
life – if love is not given – it causes more
destruction in the world. One of the many
roles of a feminine woman is to open to,
receive and most importantly – give love. Not
only when it’s easy. And, for you personally; in
fact all of us women, need to be open to
receiving a man’s love as well. If you do not
embrace the love you’re given, if you do not
choose to see the love that is evident in your
life, it will not grow. It will die.
Feminine energy and it’s potential
Feminine energy has the most unbelievable
ability to elicit more masculine strength and
power in a man – and not only that, but as in
Arthur’s case – it has the power to stall a
man’s mission, as many of us may already know
and – men don’t like it when their intensity is
broken. But, it’s not all bad, especially if it’s
done in a good way, as in this story. This little
lady had more power in that moment than many
others. Just a little vulnerability and a little
love given – and BAM! A woman can halt the
assassination of a president.
I know that in my own life, there were
moments when I was a little girl, and now as a
woman, where I’ve done something
(subconsciously) and men have responded to
me in ways that I really appreciate. Often, this
interchange of, and balancing out masculine
and feminine energy is unconscious. We may
not even notice it all the time. So as women, we
will know that by knowing how to be feminine,
and how to be true to our feminine core, we
can encourage different (and even much
better) parts of a man to show up.
Femininity is Power. Use it, and use it wisely
I hope you enjoyed this post, and what did you
think of Arthur’s story?

*Sometimes when I hear ladies say things like..."I don't really need education, once I get a rich man to marry, I'll just settle down with him and that's it." I just stop and wonder.
As a lady when you go into marriage at an early age you fail to achieve things that you would have achieved (1) because you now have a husband to report and submit to (2) because you now have your children to attend and respond to. If your husband doesn't take all your time then your children will.
We as women should start placing ourselves at the pinnacle in the society, we should start learning and practising how to be independent and successful. No man wants a dull and dependent woman. In fact (though they try to hide it) most men love and admire career women. Most men sees young women as being materialistic and having no goal in life. I am not saying going into marriage is bad all am saying is that marriage is not the only hope, let's try to add some stars to our names, let us start being visionaries. Its time we start eyeing high positions including that of the seat of presidency. Yes! Because what you can't see you can't seize, what you can't imagine cannot emerge and what does not cross your mind cannot cross your life. So let's start dreaming and seeing ourselves as leaders and not just wives.
Who else has the power to give life, to work, to nurse, to tolerate, to create, to love and to struggle at the same time if not we the women. We currently accomplish most of the work essential to life and continued survival of human kind yet our place in the society continues to be undervalued. We are being portrayed as being childish, dangerous, irresponsible, weak, unreliable and generally inferior to men. Why? Because we the women do not know our worth, we do not understand the power we possess, we do not know that we can actually brake or make anything we please. We have allowed ourselves to be pushed to a particular corner like we mean less. We as women have a greater chance of surviving and succeeding than the men. We have greater opportunity given to us by God but we have allowed ourselves to be blindfolded from all this opportunities. Ladies think they can only use their body to get any man they please when they can use their femininity(not sex) to get any position they so desire. When a woman is brave, ambitious and confident she is admired and loved and she wins the heart of many.
Ladies, women, we are naturally born leaders. Let us stand up now and take our rightful place in the nation.

There are some people that can never be happy
seeing someone else succeed. They believe
someone else’s success makes them something
less. It makes them jealous. They don’t believe
that someone else deserves a success that
they themselves don’t already have.
They mock those that try. They hate.
Some people will judge you based on their own
self-imposed limitations, and they will mock
and criticize you for pursuing greatness. They
believe that others should be forced to accept
the limitations that they have placed upon
themselves, even if it would make that
someone less than they might be.
They are puny people, and so you must be puny
with them.
There are some who will try to tear you down
as a way to not feel inferior. They will do this
so that they don’t have to feel bad about
themselves. In their little minds, you are
stupid for putting forth the effort required
to succeed, you are stupid for trying so hard,
and you are stupid for drinking the Kool-Aid.
You are stupid, and they are smart for being
able to see what you have missed.
Many haters are too lazy to pursue their own
ambition. Many more are too afraid of being
criticized the same way that they criticize
others. Because they never try, they have no
idea that their supportive tribe is ready and
waiting for them. Because they would never
open themselves up to being criticized by their
small-minded and feeble friends, they never
know greatness. They instead know only hate.
You don’t do what you do to please the haters.
You don’t do what you do to win them over.
Everything that you do is for the people that
need what it is that you do, the people that
gain from it, the people that appreciate it.
Your tribe wants you—needs you—to lead it.
You deal with the haters by not dealing with
the haters. You ignore them. You turn their
already too small, too rotten, and too vile
voices down to a level that is imperceptible. It
will drive them crazy, and their voices will get
louder and shriller—for a time. Then their
voices will disappear into oblivion as you move
past them, as you move forward, as you
become bigger.

greatness. You reach your full potential, and
you ignore those that hope for your failure.
Their hope is all for naught anyway. The haters
can’t stop you from succeeding . . . unless you
join them.
