Does Your Attitude Stink?

-
I have had what ''real writers" call writers block for a long time now. I did not have a clue what to blog about. I had a billion and one thought going on in my head at the same time, couldn't piece them together so I just let the blog rest.

So, anyway I resumed work today after a 5 day break and yet nothing to write about. Got a call from my younger son who wanted a replacement toy car so I had to stop by the store on my way home.

It was on the queue that the stench that rebooted my  writer's block inspired me. The beautiful lady right behind me on the queue....the stench, so gross! For a minute, I held my breath because I was in a state of shock. This smell can not be coming from behind me!!!

After it dawned on me that the smell was actually coming from this suspected source, I thought about that phrase " Your Attitude Stinks". This is a terrible thing to say to anyone if we are being sincere but some people do have terrible behaviour. 

5 Signs That Shows Your Attitude Stinks

1. The desire to blame others for your mistakes. Be it at work, in relationships (platonic or otherwise). You never seem to be the one in the wrong, you blame situations on your past, your upbringing, your health..the list is endless. 

2. You are arrogant and authoritarian. The world does not start and end at the mention of your name.          Rest. 

3. You are mistrusting and keep malice. You are always fighting and not talking to someone . 

4. You lie: even more than the devil.

5. You are callous. The lion of the tribe of your locality.


"The greatest discovery of all time is that man can change his future just by changing his attitude" 
Oprah Winfrey.

Check your self . A thorough self assessment is one of the most difficult things to do because you really need to be dispassionate and tell yourself hard truths. 

Am you open to corrections? Do people see you as  Mr/Ms Know It All? Do you build people up or you are always quick to pull down? 

A smelling mouth and a body that smells like a pit latrine can be covered up, but it is so difficult to cover up a stinking attitude.

Your attitude is like the aroma of your heart....do everything to make it give off the right smell.
Do Better.

Love and Light.

      The stench was like a re-set button actually. I agree with you, having a self evaluation done on our character will help us and others.
      Thank You!

In Loving Memory.....

  Today makes it exactly 40 days since you left us on this side.  It has not been easy, some days are good and we laugh through the pain.  Some days are horrible and we cry all through but even in the tears we hear you, we see you and we feel your presence. Olajumoke Oyeronke Abosede , my hardworking sister.   The day you were born I became a big sister, and the day you left you became my guardian angel. You wore so many hats with grace.  Never one to show pain except when absolutely out of your power.  Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our sister was one of the best gifts. And deep in our hearts we keep your thoughts to always love and cherish and never to be forgotten. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.  Thank you for the life we shared little sis. You are loved and will be missed forever. Fare thee well my beloved, until resurrection day.  Until then...this is In Lo...

Chronicles of an Immigrant: I Am a Work in Progress!

-
  This is not my first time moving from my home country to another land. But this time, it’s different. I have to remind myself that there’s so much at stake. I am no longer the starry-eyed young woman who left family and everything familiar years ago to chart a course for her life. Back then, I wasn’t afraid—I had no real commitments, except for a relationship that was alive today and dead tomorrow. Now, I am responsible for three human beings. Hey God. Two of them have their futures tied to the choices I make, whether good or bad. If this isn’t the real definition of “God abeg,” then I don’t know what is. The Language Barrier: English, but Make It Confusing One of the biggest hurdles for immigrants is communication. And I’m not just talking about learning a new language—because, as a proud English speaker who scored a 9 in IELTS , I thought I had this covered. But here I am, struggling with accents, slang, and professional jargon. The first time someone said, "You bet...

You’re Abroad Now, What’s Taking So Long?

 The immigrant journey is often painted with a broad brush of resilience and success. Society loves stories of those who "made it"—the entrepreneur who built a business from scratch, the professional who climbed the corporate ladder in record time, the student who became a shining example of excellence. But beneath these triumphs lies an unspoken burden—the immense pressure to succeed quickly. The Weight of Expectations For many immigrants, success isn’t just personal—it’s communal. The moment you step onto foreign soil, you carry the dreams, sacrifices, and hopes of those left behind. Parents, siblings, extended family, and even entire communities look up to you as their proof that a better life exists beyond borders. The expectation is clear: Don’t just survive—thrive, and do it fast.  Note the word "FAST". This pressure comes in different forms: The urgency to secure a well-paying job, even if it means working multiple shifts. The need to send money bac...
