Holding On To Beliefs And Traditions Does Life Have To Be A Certain Way by IyaTola: 2:06pm On Dec 06, 2019 |
Holding on to beliefs and traditions Does life have to be a certain way for it to be good enough for you? Think about that question seriously for a moment. When life has to be a certain way in order to be good enough for you, you instantly close yourself off from all the real and present opportunities available—you spend all your mental energy resisting life, rather than making the best of it. And sadly, this is how the vast majority of the human population lives—stuck in a perpetual cycle of resistance. We hold on tight to how everything should be with nonsense beliefs and traditions. But YOU DON'T have to continue this cycle. You can change your mind! When you consciously choose to let go of the way it should be, you free your mind to deal with life’s unexpected changes and challenges in the most effective way possible… You create space for acceptance, learning and growth. You learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. And, gradually, you allow yourself to step forward with a clear and focused mind. Thus, your ability to let go is not about having the courage to release the past—it’s about having the wisdom to embrace the present. It’s not about forgetting—it’s about remembering without fear. It’s stepping forward, untethered, with a present mind and a lesson learned... Closing the door, completing the chapter, turning the page, etc.—it doesn’t matter what you title it; what matters is that you find the strength to leave in the past those parts of your life that were not meant to be, so you can better attend to the life you are actually living. What happened is uncontrollable; what you do now changes everything! 2 Likes |

Nigeria has always had freethinkers but these freethinkers do not express their opinions because of the close mindedness of the majority. Dangote is actually a free thinker . Though he may deny this openly, I've picked clues in his interview, speeches , motive and behaviour that go to establish that fact. Governor Makinde and El Rufai are free thinkers. You may think the latter is a religious or ethnic bigot but he is a free thinker. Wizkid is actually a free thinker. Wole Soyinka , Chimamanda Adichie, Kunle Afolayan and 2baba are also freethinkers. I can explain. 5 Likes 1 Share |

LIKE I SAID EARLIER , THEY MAKE MONEY FROM RELIGIOUS PEOPLE AND THEY KNOW USING GOD WILL MAKE THEIR FANS MORE HAPPY. I DO THAT AS WELL. From that link read the comments of his fans on the first page and tell me why he won't mention God in some of his songs. 1 Like |

Don't be deceived by the freethinker thing. Everyone has a belief pattern, yet they claim freethinker after success. Belief and tradition is what makes the diversity of the world unique. |

I've always had a problem not getting close to people who don't act or behave the way I want them to, the problem is my thoughts are large,I'm prone to getting more ideas and everyone I've come a crossed just thinks so backward being too ordinary doing everyday shit, I end up feeling frustrated becos I'm not sure if the person with the kind of character and personality I want exists. I cutoff my relationships cos everything just felt so ordinary and till date I've not seen anyone who ignites my interests not even my family 3 Likes |
