CHOICES



photo credit:google images
Every day of our lives we are faced with having to make decisions. Some are minor decisions such as what to eat, which dress to wear, even which trotro we prefer to sit in. Other not so minor decisions, like a choice between two free elective subjects and then really major life changing decisions: those that Bishop Tudor would call destiny decisions. Every decision, however minor eventually contributes to who we ultimately become. But, make no mistake, those major decisions can simply make or unmake you. This is why we need to be careful before taking decisions, especially when we are in a bit of our feelings. 
Without a doubt a shopping spree when we are overly excited could take a drastic toll on our pockets and lead to some broke days. Conversely choosing to settle a relationship dispute on a day that we are feeling a bit annoyed with everyone could lead to using some words which could cause irreparable damage to one’s relationship. We are not always going to be in a good mood, and that's why we need to be careful what we say when we are upset. Conversely when we are over excited we need to hold on with some decisions which in a more sober mood may seem a bit irrational. Life is about finding the right balance, without which we are going to be weighed either too low which could make us sink or too high which could make us fall off.
 
 The opportunity to make a choice is a beautiful gift, but we have to be careful, because whether we like it or not our choices have consequences and we would have to live with the results of those choices.

A god’s election.

All the houses that led to the Kansie shrine had no aluminum roofing. The first thing you noticed at the premises were the skull of donkeys in the rocks that housed the shrine. The skulls were kept buried because whenever it was left in the sun, the entire village suffered migraines. Everyone who entered the shrine had to be topless. No one ever returned from Kansie still bearing whatever issue had caused them to enter into it in the first place. This was where recognized fetish priests sought fortification from; and where they directed important people to seek help when they knew they could not handle the situation they brought with them. One had to be parsimonious and ready to do as was directed, because when the gods decided on what sacrifice they wanted, no appeal was heard. The national election was in two weeks and Fynn Aggrey was contesting. This was his second time running and although six others had picked up nomination forms, it was a clear contest between Fynn and Nii A...

I want to be like you..,sure?

Just before he entered University of Ghana he was involved in an accident so had to move around with the aid of crutches. During that time, there was intermittent supply of water, meaning he needed to go fetch some for use. His cousin who had been helping him throughout his registration had left after he got his room and bed.  Now there he was, standing in front of the hall, with a bucket by his side, metals in his legs, P.O.P around them and holding his crutches; feeling extremely depressed wondering how he was supposed to function in school without any help; asking himself if he should have just stayed home. But right there, he saw another student walking towards the hall, a visually impaired student, tapping the ground with his cain as he made his way slowly into the hall. He said that was the last time he allowed himself to ever get depressed about whatever situation he found himself in, because as bad as he felt his present situation was, he had so many other things going on ...

So What?

Have you found yourself doing something that you knew wasn't really 'right' or even downright wrong but you loved it so much that you damn all consequences and just live in the moment? Or when you really feel guilty about doing something but you refuse to even ask for forgiveness about it because you know even before you say Amen that you will do the exact same thing again as soon as you get the opportunity to? I don't know about you but I have. There are some things that honestly I have attempted 'negotiating' with God to give me a pass on, while I gather strength to overcome lol. You may pass your own judgment on this and say 'then you are not really sorry or you don't want to let go enough'. Ok, Most Strongest, when I grow up I want to be like you and be able to easily let go of things that i need to without even a little struggle. But you see the truth is that it is not entirely surprising that people have a certain response to situations that ...
