“Like anything worth doing in life, happiness takes time and patience and consistency.” – Mark Manson
An apology is not just about the words; it’s about understanding what you did wrong and making an effort to make things better in your friendship or any form of association, most politely and reasonably.
An apology is like an invisible glue that keeps our human or social connections intact when mistakes and offences arise.
But, making an honest and acceptable apology can be tough for many people.
Morality is about how we relate with other people. How our actions impact the well-being of others.
Sadly, the poorer people get, the more they get desperate – short-sighted, self-serving, heartless, and even cynical. {The more evil and corrupt the country gets).
If you like pray from now till you cry blood, if Nigeria doesn’t get richer, and our economy, healthcare system, and education don’t improve, our morality won’t get better.
Worrying is automatic because our minds are constantly conjuring up the worst scenarios so we can better prepare for emergencies and what might go wrong. It’s a natural response to the unpredictability of life. But that doesn’t mean we should go on worrying about everything.
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief that causes itself to become true. But, self-fulfilling prophecies don’t come true because they are powerful. They do so because we are.
It’s okay to lose people, but it’s not okay to lose a good friend. This is because, like wine, friendship gets better and more valuable as it ages.
If you worry you might lose a good friend, or just want your friendships to last forever, this post will be helpful.
The traditional definition of career success is often based on external factors, such as making a lot of money or getting a high-status job. However, these factors are not always relevant to our individual needs and desires. In fact, trying to achieve success based on these external factors can lead to discontentment, anxiety, and confusion. I know this, because I used to be that typical young Nigerian who cared too much about what others thought…
According to the American Psychological Association (APA) inferiority complex is “a basic feeling of inadequacy and insecurity, deriving from actual or imagined physical or psychological deficiency.”
It is important to understand that the “deficiencies” do not on their own make you unworthy or inadequate. In fact, there are people who have serious deficiencies – height, IQ, strength, money, social media following, you name it – yet feel superior to everyone.
The mind, the most complex thing in the known universe, controls our actions and behaviours. It is influenced by a vast gamut of factors, both internal and external. Understanding why we act the way we do is a complex task, but there have been some useful attempts to do so. In this post, we will explore how the mind works internally, how it interacts with external factors, and what psychoanalysts have to say about how we can better control our behaviour.
There is a lot of good that comes with religion – from the laid down beliefs and morals which give us a sense of purpose and direction in life, down to the community and systems in place that provide support religion can serve critical roles in our lives. However, religion is prone to becoming harmful – to the point of traumatising its members.
Envy is a core part of our nature, but it is an emotion that most people deny feeling. Even the most stoic among us cannot escape envy entirely. It is born of dissatisfaction. It arises when we see others possessing things we don’t have. This can be anything from achievements and material possessions to qualities like intelligence or beauty. And, since it’s also our nature to be insatiable, we always want more, envy often clings to us like a monkey’s grip.
