THE SPECIAL ONE - Elizabeth Okon

Chapter One The prophet had called, this time it wasn't about me but Nnenna my twin sister. The prophet had told her to meet him so he can give her a powder to rub on her face so men can come her way. I wasn't surprise to hear that has I had birthed my three children before Nnenna ended her Master's programme in Leku.

Emotional Intelligence 5

Apart from gaining your financial independence, you also need to gain emotional independence too. Emotional slavery is the worst slavery ever. Control your emotions. Learn how to make decisions and plan your life without being a town crier or depending so much on people emotionally. Don't wait for people to make you happy, make yourself happy. Don't wait for people to celebrate you, they may not celebrate you. Celebrate your small wins. If people don't support you, support yourself. Be courage, be strong, don't let anyone walk on you because you want to get their love. Love should be mutual. Don't beg for it.

You can do it!

You know, we are sometimes faced with difficult moment and we think we can't pass through it or make it. We give up on ourselves and we give up on God. Yes, life happens, people fails, but that's certainly not the end of the world. We are so surrounded by everything negative and can't be sure if we can truly make it. You can do it, you can make it, you can be anything you want to be but definitely, not a bad person. You can rewrite your life again if it was nothing so good at first. Don't say it is too late. Nothing is too late, except decided that it is too last. You can do it, just believe. Believe in God and believe in yourself. All things are possible with God. https://bethy-creative.blogspot.com

Bethy-Creative Stories: My Writing Skills

Writing has become part of me. I write daily and can't stay a day without a pen in my hand. I remember those times I kept diaries, just writing about my personal life and all the hell have been through. I stopped keeping diary when I discovered that my twin sister was reading it. I got angry, I didn't want anyone to read my personal stuff😂 so I hid my journals and diary. At a point I got so busy and I stopped writing. Then, my English grammar was so bad but I kept writing. After all, it was a personal stuff, the English didn't matter. I read books both fictional literature and non-fictional. I checked up new words in the dictionary. Apart from searching the dictionary for new words, I actually got most of my new words and grammar from the books I read. I dedicated my time and resources in buying and reading books. Though my English isn't really perfect but I'm still working on it. Sometimes when i write, I feel as if I write rubbish but I still write. I don't ...
