PATIENCE


One day, I went for a movie shooting and it happened to be my first. I was happy when I was given a role to play because I always love to express and impact lives through acting.

Getting to the location, I realized the role has been given to other people. I was disappointed because the distance was long and it seems like I have wasted money, time and energy. I wished the producer have informed us earlier about the change but I didn't go back. Then I went to meet the director and I explained everything to him after meeting the production manager who kept saying that we shouldn't worry, our role is in another scene but checking the script, there was nothing like that. Thank God, the director understood everything I said. So, he said he would find a place for me in a scene. 

Others hissed, complained, said several things and I remembered there was a lady who said, she has been going to several location and they always end up disappointing her. When the people were talking, I was just thinking "Will the director fulfil his words" as I was watching and learning.

Some left angrily, some called the producer and said lots of things creating a scene but me I was tired. I was just watching everything that was going on because I was tired of talking. Finally, the director fulfilled his words. He actually found a place for us in the scene but the lady who said she was always disappointed, stood up and left in anger because it wasn't the spotlight. It was just a causal role that doesn't require us to talking but myself and a lady jejely sat down and the rest also left.

At some point, the lady got frustrated and wanted to leave but I told her I wasn't leaving because if at least I couldn't do what I was supposed to do, I have to learn something. She said she left something tangible, thinking the shooting will worth her time but it didn't. It seems like a waste of time but at the same thing I was learning different things about location being the first time.

I got a free ride home by one of the actors. Getting home, I explained everything to my parents and they were a little bit disappointed, knowing the passion I have for drama. I even made up my mind that I won't go for any location again but an opportunity came up again and I wanted to give it a try but to my greatest surprise everything went well and my orientation about locations changed.

Fast forward to this year, I got a message from the director of the first location I went too, telling me he want me to act in a film. I was surprised because I thought he would have forgotten me. It's been a while so, I didn't expect him to even remember me but he did. He has been following my posts all these while and I didn't knew. 

Then, I thought assuming I wasn't patient or I had talked harshly to him that day, would he have called me to act in a film and also trust me with a bigger role even without knowing me. No!

So my dear sisters,
Whatever you are doing always remember someone is watching you and following you privately. 

Just because something's didn't work out for you, or you have been disappointed, doesn't mean you should react harshly. Fine, it's okay to be annoyed but don't leave the people with bad impression about you just because you were angry. Be patient, talk when necessary and learn from the situation.

A movie is loading, watch out for it. Trust me, you would not want to miss out.

One love!

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
