THE FUTILITY OF INSECURITIES

Hello people, welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a blessed day. Today I want to write about something I just watched on YouTube called the “Celebrities who have fallen victim to their own insecurities”. Please note that I am not writing this article to botch the increasing demand for plastic surgeries in the world today; but I am writing this to tell you and all who are thinking of augmenting or “correcting” your perceived flaws that you have nothing to be ashamed of. They say that there are two sides to every coin but so let me state one side of the coin. The first is, you want to look pretty and acceptable to others. When you are a movie buff life me, you tend to idolize people who the media have termed “beautiful” because they have certain features that they lack. For instance someone would like to have the chiselled jaw of Michael Douglas, the puffy lips of Angelina Jolie, the chin dimple of Michael Douglas, the Hourglass frame of Halle Berry and so on. We forget th...

VALUES VERSUS REALITY

Hello folks and welcome to another time with yours truly. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart that you have taken the time from your busy schedule to read my articles. Today, I want to write about societal values and the reality of our society. We live in a world where we are told as children not to do certain things and when we grow up some of us eventually do those things we were told not to do, end up regretting it and tell our children not to make the same mistakes they made. It all feels like a giant cosmic loop.

THE HUMAN PRICE TAG

Hello folks, and welcome to another time with yours truly. Today, I want to talk about a controversial subject matter titled “The Human Price Tag”. I am sure you might be asking, “What on earth made this guy choose this topic”? Well it’s because I have seen what is happening in our society when it comes to relationships, beauty and societal class.

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN MEDIOCRITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Hello people, how are you? (Not quoting Adele here LOL) I want to resume something I started last year which is the THIN LINE SERIES. Today I want to talk about when professionalism can turn to mediocrity and how thin the line is between these two variables. Before I begin, I want to give my personal definition of who a professional is and who a mediocre is. A professional is someone who takes the time to practice a particular craft to the point you are an authority on that particular subject/craft. A mediocre on the other hand, only knows the basics of a particular craft and sticks to his/her “guns” thinking it is the “end all, be all” of that particular specialty.

WILD WORLD

Hello folks, I want to once again thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on every subject matter I write upon. Please leave your comments at the comment box and e-mail me on the address below if you want to get personal with me. Today, I want to talk about something that is so obvious that we see it every day. All classes of society (the rich, middle class and poor), are aware of this fact that it is a Wild World; Make no mistakes, the fact that you are born of a woman you will experience tribulations all you have to do is face it head on. The Bible states that “In this world you will face tribulations but don’t worry I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

UNCONDITIONAL

Hello folks, welcome to another time with yours truly. I want to write how grateful I am that you found the time of day to read my works. I am so grateful. Please take the time to check out the previous articles and let me know what you think at the comment section below. The topic I want to write on today looks like the title of an 80’s Rhythm and Blues song but today, I want to talk about something that is starting to become a foreign concept in our society today. That is, “unconditional attachments”. If you go through the previous links in this blog, you will find that I have written similar topics to this but I just want to reiterate on this subject matter. As usual, I like to be balanced in all my write ups but I want to talk about how the balance of unconditional attachments has affected our society negatively.

It’s my life (Is it?)

Hello folks, first of all I just want to say how sorry I am for not posting any content for a while. I’m back and I want to share something that has been bothering me and my personal answers that I sought to what was bothering me. The issue I want to write about is, WHO OWNS YOUR LIFE? I know what you are thinking; “the topic doesn’t match the subject” but please bear with me and read this little piece. This topic is a continuation of an article I wrote called FREEDOM . Please click on the link and let me know what you think. Please remember your input on the matter will be appreciated.

SELF LOVE (Part 2)

Hello people, welcome to another time with yours truly, and thank you for taking your precious time to look at my blog. Today I want to continue from where I stopped in my last article on Self Love. In the last issue, I wrote about how the physical side of self love. Right now I want to write about its spiritual side; in order words how you can love yourself spiritually. In the last issue I used Ne-Yo’s quote on the popular song “Let me love you until you learn to love yourself”. This time I want to talk about my anchor, mentor and best friend Jesus Christ when he said “Love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind; the second is like it love your neighbour as you love yourself” ( Mark 12:30-31 ). In my last article, I wrote that the person that loves you should be someone who impacts you positively and not the other way round. I will try to keep this article as brief as I can.

SELF LOVE (Part 1)

Hello folks once again, hope you are having a blast. Well, I want to talk about something that just popped into my mind. It is called SELF LOVE . If I am to be completely honest with you, the song “Let me love you” be Ne-Yo just sparked on the back of my mind. The lyric of the song says “Let me love you, and I will love you until you learn to love yourself”. My question is this, do you need to be loved by someone else before you love yourself?

THE ELUSIVE FOUR LETTER WORD (L-O-V-E)

Hello folks, and thanks for clicking on my link. First of all, Happy Valentine’s Day and I hope you are having a wonderful time with your loved ones on this special day. Today, I want to write about the elusive phenomenon called love. To me, love is a deep feeling of care and passion that connects one person to another. This feeling is what makes one human. Although animals have this kind of feeling but I want to talk about human beings and why I say this love is elusive in nature.

SELF HURT

Hello folks, I am glad you have taken the time out of your busy schedule to read my article. Today I want to write about Self Hurt or Self Infliction of pain. This article is more of a continuation of my previous article titled THE SLOW POISON . I sincerely hope that my point of view about this topic will make a huge difference in your life. I have watched a lot of movies and seen a lot of people who have given themselves to self pain to get rid of the pain caused by circumstances or someone. This is one of the natural human responses to internal pain; we try to replace internal pain with external pain hoping that they will cancel each other out. But I am here to tell you that pain (internal and external) will not make you feel better about your condition.

DOUBLESPEAKING

Hello once again folks and welcome to my blog. Today I want to write about something which will lead to something that will make that “something” meaningful. The “something” want to talk about is, double-speaking. This is a term I just leant in the book I am reading right now which is POINT MAN by Steve Farrar. According to how I understood it, double speaking is when we minimize the gravity of a negative word to make it more palatable to the ear. To make my point clear, here are a few examples. We call Adultery which is a “harsh” word and replace it with “Affair”, Fat as “Big Boned”, and Fornicating as “Testing the Waters”.

Fire and Ice

Hello once again and welcome to another time with me on the iExcel360 blog. I hope you are having a wonderful time? Thank you so much for clicking on this link. Please take the time to read my previous articles. I can only hope that every article you read will inspire you to greater heights. Today I want to talk about Fire and Ice. This article is not about the animated movie of the same name but it’s about the highs/lows, the ups/downs, the good/bad and the better/worse times that everyone in life has to go through. If you think that from the day you were born till now everything in your life has been rosy, you will have to rethink again because everyone has experienced the good and the bad times of life because the good and the bad times make me who I am as an individual.

THE ILLUSION OF BEAUTY

Hello once again and thanks for clicking on the iExcel blogspot link. It has been almost two years since I started this blog and I am thankful to all of you out there that take your precious time out of your busy schedules to read what I have to say about certain subject matters that are trending in our society. The trend I want to discuss today is what society views as “Beauty”. I used to think that beauty was a word used on the female folk but I have realized that there are men that can be referred to as beautiful. Before we start, I would like to ask the question. What is beauty? Is it the shape of the face? Is it the size of the eyes? Is it the colour of the eyes? Is it in the shape of the lips? Is it in the body type? Well to find out my opinion please stay glued to this article (LOL).

STATING THE OBVIOUS

Hello again and welcome to the iExcel360 blog. I am so happy to have you reading this little piece of mine because it shows that you have taken interest in my work. Please take your time to review other articles I have written and let me know what you think. Today, while I was doing my regular Wikipedia reading, I stumbled into an article about a movie called “Zulu”. Before I get to the crux of the matter, I would like to give you a summary about this movie. This movie was made in 1964 and tells a (sort of) fictional story about the defeat of the British army at the hands of Zulu warriors in one part of South Africa. The Zulus armed themselves with the ammunition of the dead British Soldiers and proceeded to advance and wipe out the entire British Army. The British know from the very beginning that the battle will be a losing one but they still got the courage to fight and rescue civilians that were in the line of fire. During the movie, one of the soldiers “Stated the Obvious...

WHY AM I WHAT I AM

Hello people, welcome once again to another beautiful day. First of all thanks for clicking on this link and viewing this article. Please take your time to review other articles I have written on this blog and let me know what you think on the comment section. Today I want to write about this sensitive question that I ask myself sometimes. “Why am I what I am?” I am sure you have asked this question at least once in your life. The simple answer is, I am what I am because that is who I am. I will try to keep this article short and simple. Life itself is in stages. You are born, you learn to walk speak and think. Later on, you are educated by both secular (Primary, secondary and Tertiary education), Spiritual (Christian, Muslim and other traditions) and Societal education. These stages of education whether you know it or not, make up who you are as an individual. But please take note that despite what you learn from society, the main component that makes you who you are is d...

THE ILLUSION OF LIFE

Hello beautiful people and welcome to my blog which contains the innermost thoughts of my head. Today I want to get a little realistic on you. I want to write about the illusion of life. Every day, you wake up in the morning pray to God (Christians), brush your teeth, take your bath and go about your day and it seems like an endless circle of doing the same thing day in day out. Today I was chatting with my mother and she told me something about life that I want to share with you. Life itself is an illusion. You will see someone who will struggle all his life, just to get a piece of paper. This piece of paper could include a degree, money, savings bonds etc and at the end of the day he/she ends up six feet under the ground. Please bear in mind I try to be balanced in all my write-ups; money and degrees are not bad in fact I have a degree in Mass Communication. That is why I am able to write. But we are so focused in the illusion that life offers; you should be the you, you were me...

THE WRONG KIND OF RIGHT

Hello once again, sorry for the long absence; I have been on a “personal retreat” trying to jolt the creative outlet of my brain. Today, I want to write about the common misconceptions brought about in movies that are being incorporated by our society. Today, I am going to get physical on this article citing various trends that is affecting our society negatively. What is right and what is wrong? This is a pretty peculiar question that man has tried to answer since the beginning of time. If what I am doing is wrong, then why does this feel so good? And if what I am doing is good, why do I still feel the same? Well that does not happen always. The difference between right and wrong is as clear as day. If you do what is right, you will feel better about it and the guilt of it will not scar you but doing what is wrong may have long lasting consequences that might outlive you. Today, I want to talk about the vices that plague our society and the vices that are seen as right when t...

VIRGINITY: VIRTUE OR BURDEN

Hello and welcome to my blog. If you are reading my article for the first time, I am humbled that you took the sweet time out of your busy schedule to read my blog. Well I hope you enjoy this topic. If you have any questions, comments, or criticisms, my contacts are below this article. Today I want to write about a phenomenon that is becoming extinct in our society, that is, VIRGINITY. According to by trusty English Dictionary app, a virgin is “a person who has never had sexual intercourse, or sometimes, one who has never engaged in any sexual activity at all".

TEMPTATION

First of all, good day to you all and thank you for clicking on my link; it means a lot to me. Please if you have the time, read my previous articles and let me know what you think. Today, will want to talk about a very important phenomenon that is common with both the male and female species that is, TEMPTATION . According to English Dictionary App, temptation is defined as “pressure applied to your thinking designed to create wrong emotions which will eventually lead to wrong actions”. I have come to agree with this particular definition because if you are a human being born of a man and woman, you will always feel the pressure to do the wrong thing because, whether you want to admit it or not, doing the wrong thing is more appealing than doing the right thing. We live in a world where we are attracted to what we see with our eyes and don’t care to listen to what our conscience is saying. The slogan “if it feels right, do it” is now the norm of the day. To yield to temptation...
