Set a goal and not a limit

Image
 You are never too old, set another goal. Age is not a barrier but rather the limits you set your mind too are your barriers, do away with them and watch as you surpass your goals.      Goal according to Merriam Webster dictionary means something that one hopes or intends to accomplish and on the other hand Limit is defined as a real or imaginary point beyond which a person or thing cannot go.       A goal is quite different from a limit, a goal is an aim which an individual intends or have in mind to accomplish while a limit is the stopping point of an individual.  Alot of people tends to set their limits In their minds thinking they are setting goals, for example a guy who has set his mind on doing 50 sit ups starts the process and at the end he notices that when he reached the 50 he still had the strength to add about 20 more but because he had set his mind to do 50 sit ups he won't further more but stop at that point. This would make 50 sit ups the limit set by mind because h

 Crimes everywhere  a terror was wanted Once a city of joy But now is it of sorrow, pains and tears Cultural dance steps have been forgotten by the dancers No curfew but nobody goes out Probability of staying alive outside your house is 1/100 "Watch your back death is coming" is now a proverb being said Land that was flowing with milk and honey Is now flowing with tears and blood A land that had ceremony every weekend No sounds of drum are being heard anymore If the soil could talk, it will be crime because of overfeeding It has taken more than what it can take No one celebrate the exit of any soul Because a lot of souls are being claimed everyday Weeping is now an anthem and complains the pledge All the helping hands are not helpful anymore The gods have become fools No more success in their businesses No one buys coffin to bury the dead anymore.  In the city the only prediction being made are death predictions Souls are being wasted, spirits are being sent to he

    I left my house and moved to his, when my rent for that month expired and we both left to another town far away from my parents and all the people that left me in my pains and we started a new life together. I got to realise that he was a loving fellow and during the first 3 months of my stay there he never approached me or made any attempt to take advantage of me.  He showed me what true love means and I confined in him alot we built a business together and we were making it, then he did something I was not surprised of or better to say I was expecting it.  He proposed to me, that day was like God released his angels to dance with me. I felt the butterflies in my stomach dancing for joy, I didn't hesitate to say yes. The ring was shinning, it was a golden ring and as I saw it tears of joy and sorrow rolled down my cheeks.  I remembered my ex and how he left me when I needed him most, how my dad disowned me when I needed his wise words, how my mom said words that wo

    My phone ringing tone woke me up on a Monday morning, I yawned and checked who was calling, it was the manager of the hotel I worked as a bar attendant at night, I was surprised because he never calls me in the morning no matter the emergency, he knows I'm a student and I don't miss my lectures because I am and always want to be on first class. Without thinking much I picked the call and said "good morning boss" "what is good about the morning?!!!!" He asked yelling on top of his voice. I was confused and I asked "is anything wrong sir?" "Everything is wrong ma!!!" He replied in a loud voice, "I never knew you were a thief, armed robber, terrorist and a legal fool" he continued, at this point my heart was about to come out of my mouth in fear "so you just came to ruin my life right? You didn't see anything to steal it's the golden necklace that was kept in the inner most room, what did you ask for th

I now see

I now see the real me I always became angry whenever I hear someone tell me that I'm evil, I'm a sadist, that I always love to smile at others people pains that I love to afflict pains on people, I always tried to contradict that I always tried my best to maintain and show my love for people I always tried to put smiles on people faces, I began to act funny, weird and like a fool so as to see people laugh but I noticed that I suck at keeping relationships for long. I become extremely bored and try to look for people to talk with but I see no one. The ones that loved me I'm mostly the one that breaks the love bond. People never seem to trust me I thought it's because I'm too familiar with them but later got to realise that I'm actually not good to be in any close relationship with anyone. I get hurt easily and I also seem to derive pleasure thinking about pains and dark stuffs. I wondered why my life was different from alot of my close friends. They had best frie
