Follow me @Nolimit2life YAY!!! I made it... I ran, I walked, I crawled, I flew and I even tried jumping but I made ittt! And for my last post, I will be zapping the negativity and welcoming all the positives to usher me into the new month of May!!! I'm going to be thankful for at least three things every day in May and I'm going to live in the moment and enjoy doing that completely. I'm not going to worry about my account not being fat and shapeless and I will just appreciate its skinny shape for now:) I'm going to praise my way to breakthrough and I'm going to ensure I laugh genuinely daily. No I'm not necessarily going to put up posts about this but I sure will share from time to time. When or if negative people come my way in the Month of May, I'm going to ensure they leave feeling awesome and positive; and I'm going to ensure I make a difference in someone's life daily by at least making them laugh! I will do my best to train my...

Follow me @Nolimit2life Basically, I've always wondered about the description of Yin and Yang... well not really until now. See I was trying to write something really cool about someone being the Yin to my Yang(I'm pretty sure I've heard it in a song before) then I checked the meaning and I decided that whoever explained it or who ever coined the word Yin & Yang is a chauvinist!(It's okay to laugh, it's not that serious"). So according to dictionary.com,  Yin and Yang: two   complementary   principles   of   Chinese   philosophy:   Yin   is   negative, dark,   and   feminine,   Yang   positive,   bright,   and   masculine.   Their  interaction   is   thought   to   maintain   the   harmony   of   the   universe   and   to  influence   everything   within   it. But my question is why is the negative and da...

Follow me @Nolimit2life To be honest this is one of the most difficult things to do. To look at myself and my life critically and actually take stock of my actions and reactions.  Where I'm at, my motives for all I've done, analyse it all and check for adverse variances and deficits. Up my game in areas that needs improvement and actually pat myself on the back for where I fared well. It is easier said than done plus seriously it will be easier to get a shrink lol! how do you even xray/audit your life? If you're reading this and you've done that before, please kindly send pointers my way. Thank you!

Follow me @Nolimit2life My question is why die before you die? Why should you live in fear of what can be when it hasn't even happened? Why choose to live life in another's shadow when you're meant to shine so bright that we need shades! Why have you chosen not to live at optimum(In other news, I think optimum is my new favourite word as I think I've managed to use it in 2-3 consecutive posts!lol). Don't let anything turn you to a walking dead; a shadow of your former self... tell whatever it is and tell yourself you only live once(YOLO baby!!!) and even if you must exit, you will go with a bang! Life happens I know and I also know it can be overwhelming, but whatever it is, here is me sending you a massive hug and whispering in your ears live a little, don't let anything or anyone kill you before your time.

Follow me @Nolimit2life Defined as:   adjective 1. capable   of   or   susceptible   to   being   wounded   or   hurt,   as   by   a   weapon: a   vulnerable   part   of   the   body. 2. open   to   moral   attack,   criticism,   temptation,   etc.: an   argument   vulnerable   to   refutation;   He   is   vulnerable   to   bribery. 3. (of   a   place)   open   to   assault;   difficult   to   defend: a   vulnerable   bridge. The good book says to guard our hearts with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life. How vulnerable are you to attacks, wound, hurts, criticism, temptations and all the works? The truth is we can never protect ourselves enough from all these because one way or the other, we get hurt or wounded etc, it is par...

Follow me @Nolimit2life Take time out to get you. To know who you are and what your core values are so you won't be swayed by fads because year in and year out, fads come and go. find out what you're gifted to do and what you're really called to do. That way you can add value to lives. Don't create instability for yourself and others. It is important to be grounded. Deal with your lack of self believe, deal with your brokenness, you're not at your optimum when all these issues aren't dealt with.  Accept you for who you are.

Follow me @Nolimit2life Humans are bound to fail so don't blame me for not trusting any including myself. Some have asked me if I trusted them and I always came up with the same response consistently... I say I trust the God in you... then to soften the blow, I let them know it isn't about them. I mean I only trust the God in me So pray tell why should I trust you. And my reason is simple, whether we like to admit it or not, we are all flawed and the truth is it takes grace to stay on the path of the straight and narrow.  Truth is in the right atmospheric condition for misbehaving we really don't know what we are capable of, let's just say only Grace and keeping within the boundaries God has set for us is keeping most of us. so please pretty please don't tell me you trust yourself. I know people that came back to say stuff like "Nolimit I couldn't believe that was me" ie right after messing up big time that is"... don't put so much ...

Follow me @Nolimit2life If you're from Africa(at least my side of town) you probably may have heard all kinds of stories about people turning to birds, cats etc. There was a time I thought those stories were a bit exaggerated and just lacked substance. But as I grew older, I realised hmmm maybe just maybe there's a possibility the spiritual side of things does exist and as I grew to know God, I realised we are spirit beings, with souls living in a body; you can't separate the three whilst you have breath. It is almost like the egg, you have the yolk, the albumen and the shell and together they make up the egg. I believe the spiritual affects the physical and things happen first in the spiritual before they even begin to take place in the physical and we've been given authority to speak God's word into existence but the truth is we hardly make use of this golden opportunity not because we don't want to, but because life happens to the best of us. I can...

Follow me @Nolimit2life So Nolimit are you romantic he asked. I was like you mean the chocolate, flowers and cakes romance or the poetic ones where you keep writing sweet cheesy meaningless poems? lol even I had to laugh at that. Well maybe the romantic ones in the blogosphere can help out; My question today is what does it mean to be romantic? do you think it is relative? For instance, giving flowers as gifts to some women is considered romantic, whilst other women will flog you with that same flower and tell you how your mates are buying beautiful diamond necklaces for their loved ones(I won't even mention what part of the world this is likely to happen, we are just going to generally assume it happens everywhere). And what do men consider romantic cos in my opinion being romantic is so one-sided. Is it a bad thing to not be romantic or do we all have it in us? As you may have guessed, this is another "Wondering Out Loud" post. lol

Follow me @Nolimit2life I bet you think I'm about to put up some words of wisdom on the aforementioned topic... sorry but I'm also searching for answers and hoping I can use this medium to really make inquiries about this. I know meditation is an ancient art that helps to quieten the body or something related. I have friends who do yoga and say it is some phone of meditation but frankly speaking, I'm really not interested in yoga, I'm keen to understand how Christians meditate, I mean the biblical setting yourself apart and thinking about a bible verse or how is it done anyways? My question is, what does meditation mean to you and how do you carry out this act of meditation. There's a story behind this, I went to a catholic church somewhere off Brompton road with a friend of mine. When we got there, they were observing their quiet time or something that looked like it. You could literally hear a pin drop in the room, it was weird to me but then it was ca...

Follow me @Nolimit2life A comedian once said the difference between plantain chips and "Ipekere" is packaging, what that loosely translates to is " You're addressed the way you present yourself". So try looking like a riffraff and low and behold, you will be identified as one and they'll come pouring out of the woods simply because you're a riffraff magnet!lol Well I kind of partly disagree with it but another part of me understands this "packaging" also known as branding! It isn't a bad thing to portray yourself the way you would want to be addressed which some call faking it till you make it!(Hmmm). But what I find completely annoying is people who aren't worth their weight in platinum. You can't behave like a flip-flop and honestly expect to be treated like loubiton! Nope that can't work. At least upgrade your intellect gradually to where you really want to be. No matter how well you brand your outer-self/physical...

Follow me @Nolimit2life I was going to blog about Oscar deserving performances of fake people, but I thought it was too much energy to burn on people that don't exactly matter.  The truth about your identity will set you free from trying to be like others at all cost; you will be able to appreciate who you are, warts and all and this is a form of growth at least inward growth but the good thing about growing within is, you cant grow within without the outside catching up. So I say pay attention to who you are and who your maker says you are because therein lies your true identity; the truth that will set you free.

Follow me @Nolimit2life Don't know why I decided to choose a topic like this but I did and I'm just going to talk a teeny weeny bit about it. Heard about the story of a guy that left an African country to study in America, after graduating, he got a great job in America and decided to stay back for a while. He went to Africa on holiday and got lots of presents for everyone, he gave his grandma some money(tidy amount the story goes) and gave his mother double of what he gave grandma. Grandma then calls him to her room privately and accused him of under estimating her. Dude thought he could just talk his way out of it till grandma brought out a pot under her bed, recited some incantations and the next thing that appeared in the pot was the guy's house/home in America. heard that almost ran him mad but for God!!! People always think they can shut down and run away from one particular location and even do a change of name just to run away from an issue, sin, family pr...

Follow me @Nolimit2life I love my country and that is not just in words! Sometimes I wonder if things will ever get better but recent events and occurrence has shown me the power we wield as a nation when we are united as one against any opposition, I'm hoping this change will gain momentum and stay consistent!!!. On that note. I would love to share this Tedx video about overcoming the fear of vested interest by Lamido Sanusi. Every foe can be vanquished no doubt about it.

Follow me @Nolimit2life Was busy deliberating on what to have for dinner(super late dinner) when my phone started ringing off the hook... I decided whoever was on the other end will have to wait because this girl can't even have a meaningful conversation in her hungry state. Checked and saw it was one of my good friends; I sighed inwardly and thought what now?  She calls me like 8 times in a day(I'm exaggerating) to tell me the most random things ever!lol. Anyways I called back and what she told me almost made me pass out. She had just lost a parent! I was in shock! The parent had just commented on my friend's facebook page a day before! How does this things happen? No warning, no signal ... nothing!!! Don't know if it was the shock that made me tell her I was coming over that night...but I did and the minute I dropped the phone and checked the time, it was some minutes to midnight *sigh* I beat myself inwardly for making such a promise, I was knackered... b...

Follow me @Nolimit2life I remember my physics class back in the days and how the physics teacher was so thorough with his explanation of kinetic and potential energy. So what is kinetic energy? According to "wiki", it is the energy a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.  Let me break it down the way I understand it. When I sit my behind down and do nothing, I retain and have potential energy, this means that I have the tendency to really do something but as long as I'm seated, I'm just a potential. In order to gain energy whilst in motion, I need to "do something"; Kinetic energy is an action energy.  So ladies and gentle men, enough of the potential quality/energy, allow it to be transformed to kinetic energy.  I suggest you dust yourself up and get moving! PS: I was half asleep when I typed this, may come back to update but ~I hope you truly understand that you need to get up and do something!

Follow me @Nolimit2life It is so easy to point the accusing finger, to label orders with tags we can't stand to use on our own selves. IT is so easy to analyse and confer solutions to other people's problems even though we've never walked in the shoes for a second! Why we do it beats me, but we do anyways. We just keep dishing it till we have nothing left to dish. Really have more to say on this... but I'm just going to put this out there for now :) PS: I Love You.

Follow me @Nolimit2life Ice-queen why do you pretend so? Every one thinks you're so mean and butter won't melt in your mouth. But hang on a sec, didn't I see you crying in the toilet because that lady lost her child; see you have a soul!? It is okay to let your guards down ice-queen cos people don't bite, for real they don't. When the woman offered you food the other day, she did because she was being hospitable and I know you were starving cos you hadn't eaten all day. I bet you can't remember the last time you had a decent meal like that yet you kept your ice-cool front. It is okay to accept help from others ice-queen and it is okay to smile too. Sometimes I wonder who or what turned you to this. I know there's a soul in there. This is not who you're meant to be, whoever is hiding in there needs to be unleashed asap... that's the real you and she's way friendlier and genuine than this front. I hope someday soon, you'll rea...

Follow me @Nolimit2life Crisis is part of life and at some point in our various lives, we probably would, must have encountered it. Some may just be coming out of one, some may be in one as we speak/read and some may just be about to enter into it. Guess the point I'm  trying to stress is that, life happens and how we deal with it and our comportment during this period of crisis determines the outcome a lot! So how do I stay sane when everything seems like it is crumbling! Personally in that kind of situation, I ask myself, what is the lesson in this crisis, seriously, just take a step back from the madness and think about what can or must be learnt from it, otherwise I'm afraid you may have to repeat the class. I also remind myself of the fact that it could be worse than this. Yep it sure can be worse, there is always something to be thankful for. ALWAYS and focus on that particular thing you're thankful for in that situation. Know and understand that jus...

Follow me @Nolimit2life If there was a "GET LOST" card some people deserve it in this life! For real y'all I'm not even playing. And if there's anyone that is so deserving of this card the most, it will be our common enemy; the devil lol did you actually think I was going to mention a name O_O(PS:I actually used a capital D but I changed it to a small "d" cos the enemy doesn't even deserve that kinda respect! sheesh)! Well the devil is our common enemy and the fact that you're a human being automatically makes you an enemy! The enemy will use any and everything to pull you down ie people, things, places whatever!  But truth be told some people in our lives too deserve the GL card and I've been known to serve people this card without any hard feelings, it doesn't mean you're my enemy it just simply means that I wish you well but I can't deal with your negative energy. If I'm being honest with myself, I deserve the GL ca...

Follow me @Nolimit2life M y life in movie would be highly dramatic and filled with  great humour!lol Yeah all kinds of drama... think about it. Let me tell you about the craziest, stupidest(let me own that word), most frustrating thing that has ever happened to me... to date! So there I was preparing for this travel to meet my family and friends. As you can imagine, I was super-excited and buzzing all over! I had planned for the parties, the outings, the dinners, lunch, fun, meet ups, chillaxing at the beach... I had it all covered to the T! As a matter fact I packed backwards i.e from my last day to the first day I touched down lol!  I'm sure God must have been laughing at me in heaven thinking look at this "yeye" girl... packing and getting ready without putting the most important thing into consideration(don't worry, keep reading you'll know what it is in a minute!lol). So I was fully charged and raring to go. I had booked my cab to the airport a nigh...

Follow me @Nolimit2life That was what went through my mind when I heard Oba Akiolu threatened the Igbo leaders in Lagos. Yes that's the adult thing to do. And that shows maturity after-all no one is perfect and nobody expects you to be. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of our leaders treating us like fools. Woke up to this story on my timeline that the Oba of Lagos threatened the Igbo community in Lagos and my first thought was haba, that's an honourable educated man, an elder in the land; he would never say such. Well I was in for a shock as an audio link on soundcloud ensued. I almost passed out. I even had a convo with a relative who knows a lot about "this things" on it and the said person told me not to believe that ridiculous thing that the Oba would never say such and it is propaganda by APC bladdybladdybla well I was convinced as there's a youtube video at Alibaba's Jan1st concert of an interview with the outgoing 1st Lady. Now when...

Follow me @Nolimit2life Have you ever been in situations where you literally want to enter the ground and disappear? Well I have... loads of time but I'm just going to share one! So I was at this wedding all dolled up and looking seriously hot (I kid you not, even I checked me out in the mirror several times!lol). Whilst we were singing one of the hymns at the church service, out comes this "evil sneeze" that destroyed my rep(temporarily). So I sneezed and let one rip about the same time. Oooh the horror! O_O, I was so embarrassed  probably turned beetroot red! A friend that sat beside me said she didn't hear anything, she probably said it to make me feel better; whatever!lol I chose to believe her.  I was back to normal some minutes later after reminding myself of how natural it was to pop(but another part said but not in public...lol I silenced that part sharpishly!). What's your experience of an embarrassing moment? Pray share!lol

Follow me @Nolimit2life I hung out with an old school mate and asked about some of our mutual friends I haven't been in touch with for a while and discovered that some of them were divorced. I was saddened by this news as I am a firm believer in "till death do us part". At what point does love turn so sour that couples can't even bear to be in the same location? To be honest, I just don't get it. My friend said things were better in the days of our parents, grand parents and great grand parents but I was swift to disagree with her. It wasn't any better, the women just had little or no choice than to stay in that marriage for survival. But now, women have more choices and staying in a marriage no matter how good or bad is totally by choice and not by force...at least in most cases. I don't like divorce, but I don't see any reason to knock the divorcee and neither should you. Because truth be told, you really don't know what your reaction wou...

Follow me @Nolimit2life This is your life... don't let anybody fool you the truth doesn't get any realer (am I allowed to say that?). We often tend to either live in the past(because we can't face our current realities story for another day) or live in the future(because we can't face our current realities). Well I'll have you know that today is the tomorrow you longed for yesterday so " carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero " meaning " Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow (the future) ". Live a lot today, stop worrying about what hasn't been, because your worrying can't fix it anyways. Don't wait till all is perfect before you really live! Buy that house, Travel to that country, give to that charity, take that course, there's never going to be a perfect time to do whatever the heck you need to do. You just have to do it! When we keep waiting for that elusive perfect timing/situation, we never get anything don...

Follow me @Nolimit2life I've decided to be as random as I can be for this challenge! So I may put up a post on a funny experience and suddenly decide to post on something really serious. Well I just had to put that out there. Growing up, mum was big on celebrating birthdays; you just know that you're the queen for 24hours though you still weren't exempted from your regular morning chores it came with the "Queen of the day package". Fastforward to many moons later and I realise I've almost lost that attitude to celebrate my birthday... "almost" I said. I still celebrate, actually I think my birthday should be a public holiday at least in "NoLimit Kingdom", it is. But I've lost all that birthday celebration spirit(almost)... I decided to kickstart for my birthday this year and was already planning in my head to tell invite some friends over for a little shindig... the though of the logistics, people coming over to mine, the noise(...
