GRAND BEGINNINGS

-


You would ordinarily think that starting something is such an easy task until you get to the point where you actually need to start.

At that point, every fear, doubt, and accusation that has been in hiding shows up and takes the lead somewhere and somehow in your subconscious and conscious mind. They get so loud that you no longer hear the voice of courage and determination that brought you up to the point where you are. 

To make things worse, someone like myself will think that 'Beginnings' ought to be grand, they ought to be well planned, and they just have to be perfect 👌(of course, we should show up in style), but sometimes it's far from that. 

Beginnings just have to do with a move or a step. Sometimes the second step comes earlier, other times much later, but in all, a beginning has started. I've struggled with this for maybe more than a year, because I've always wanted it perfect and grand, but not anymore. I'm showing up and I'm glad that this very beginning will eventually turn out to be the best one ever. 

Stick with me through this ride, will you??

Here's to my "Beginning"🥂.

    Thinking out loud; I always feel I am doing it wrong once I am about to start something even after all grand style preparations, in some cases I even loose motivation towards my mid journey...

      Exactly, or I feel like I shouldn't have started. But in the end, may it be worth it

    I have always believed in starting small with what you have but most times I had to deal with low self esteem and the fear of failure or even trying to prove a point.

      Yes! Especially when we see others doing better, but we don't even know how they started. In all cases, we start.

    I totally agree with you Pam. This is so true. I've learned that the beginnings might not always be great or as we fantasized, but in the end, what matters most is our resilience, hardwork and dedication to what we've started, without giving up in order to make it to the end. The Bible said "the end of a matter is better than the beginning"

    The beginnings do t always have to be grand. Most times what matters is the creativity and consistency. I pray God give you continue getting inspired by your work and also be a source of inspiration to other people.

    Grand style beginnings are good and fancy, but are not necessarily the judge of the outcome of what we do. To just start alone is major regardless of how not styled it appears.

    In a few short time with a sustained effort you'll be great, and we shall celebrate you because the Lord is going to keep you in His perfect will. Cheers Clone!🥂

    Indeed Various factors contribute into making you withdraw from your launch and leap.
    One needs to just take the step and "start" while building on to achieve the greater goal set.

ABOULOMANIA

 Dear Reader,  . . . Saying "Happy New Month" on the 5th day of the month doesn't feel weird and since we haven't met this month, Happy New Month. Here's hoping that you have been faring well and that your year is coming to an end in the way God wants it to.  I'd love to share a story, which will launch me to my topic for today. It is about a young person who was trying to "figure out" life when he got to a 'crossroad'. There were mixed feelings. Moments of indecision, confusion, insecurity, and uncertainty. This affected the person's ability to make minor decisions necessary for their day-to-day activities.  Seemingly little as this might appear, it relates to a condition known as ABOULOMANIA which is a mental disorder characterized by pathological indecisiveness. It can be referred to as the paralysis of the will . It is usually diagnosed alongside other mental disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, or sub...

MEMORY LOSS

Dear Reader, Today happens to be one of those long and hectic days. Days when you do not really imagine your schedule to be tiring and draining, but you just come back all weak, and completely drained. Yes, that was what happened to me.  I lost my device just recently, and it wasn't a fun experience. Everything happened so fast that I didn't even know how I felt. I was stranded and confused. I know that I was hoping to get a better device soon, but I also didn't want to lose the one I was using the way I lost it. In fact, I cried after the incident 😄😅 Thankfully, I didn't have to stay without a device for long as God used my Dad to provide another one. I was happy and I tried to activate it and get things back to normal... That was when it began to dawn on me that I had lost almost everything in my former device. My pictures, my chats, my random notes, my messages, and almost everything I had stored in the phone all the while I used it. It felt like a part of my memor...

DRY SENSATION

The weather has been quite hot and dry in most places this period. I know that so many people like myself have been quite dehydrated and easily thirsty due to the weather change. Even after taking water sometimes, I still have this dry sensation and I always want more water!  The body has some mechanisms it uses to maintain homeostasis whenever we are thirsty or dehydrated. These are actions the body takes to ensure that a constant internal environment is maintained even when there is less water due to the hot and dry weather.  Whenever the body has lesser fluid or a higher concentration of certain osmolites, we tend to become thirsty. The hypothalamus plays a vital role in the regulation of thirst. One thing the hypothalamus does is increase the synthesis of antidiuretic hormone(ADH) called vasopressin , which is secreted by the pituitary gland and travels to the kidneys to perform its function. In the kidney, it causes water to be reabsorbed from the urine, thus reduc...
