ABANDONED BABIES

ABANDONED BABIES




I was close to tears when she told me the baby was found some days ago. So many things kept running in my mind. Why should a mother do this. Will this child ever survive? The baby is just too innocent for all these. It was my birthday and I went to the orphanage. I met so many of the children and most of them had mental issues, disabilities and abnormalities, just a few were normal.


The more I think about all I saw, the more concerned I am about the future of these young ones. I believe that, like kids out there, these ones have the right to family, to joy, to peace, and to good living. The reverse is now the case. I must say the officials at the orphanage are trying their best to raise these kids well and also educate them but this can never be compared to these kids living with their biological parents or families in which they were born into.

What breaks my heart more is that these young ones are denied of the joy, self esteem, happiness and peace they are suppose to enjoy from their parents. Do we keep watching these?

If you are not ready to cater for the wellbeing of a child, why involve yourself in the process that leads to that. Whenever you throw away a child, you kill the dreams and visions of that child, it takes grace for the child to live the right way. As much as you can, try your best not to. If you have done this in the past, stop it now and if you are planning to do this, think about the future of that child. No child's birth is a mistake. Every child has a part to play on earth, there are dreams they need to actualize, there are spaces they need to fill and there are positions they need to occupy. Please tell someone to stop that act.


Yes, what can we do? So many things. You can save these kids by visiting the orphanage, speak to them, show them love, let them know you care. If you have all it takes to train one, you can adopt one of them. Make sure you are doing something about this situation. Don't let these children die without achieving all they need to achieve. Act now. Show them love and let them know you care.

HEAL THE WORLD

HEAL THE WORLD You may be wondering why there are still happy and excited people in the world even with the presence of challenges. These set of people are neither crazy nor stupid, they are people who understand that these situations are temporary and they believe so much that the world will get better. It's no longer news that the world is faced with different challenges. I mean, everyone has a particular or peculiar challenge to deal with but there is something intriguing about all of these which you need to know as you read this piece. We will definitely be deceiving ourselves if we don't recognise the presence of these challenges. Our world now is one, which is filled with pressures from all sides. Sometimes the pain goes deep into the bone marrow and the shame is unbearable. It is true that we can be overwhelmed with these challenges and begin to think that life isn't fair to us. Truly, on daily basis we go through some stress, some of us are tired already because...

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY Have you ever considered why some people got to the peak of their careers. Do you know how some people achieved powerful and positive  solutions? You thought some of them were not wise for staying through despite the difficulties. You know what held them so strong when they didn't give up? CONSISTENCY! Yes, they were consistent in what they were doing. You can never be consistent in your career, job, business or what have you if you don't have passion for what you do, if you are not committed and dedicated to the things you do. Consistency is a path that leads to greatness, until you embrace it, you may never get the required result. One of the most powerful qualities of successful and fulfilled people is consistency. They kept on even when it was not making sense, they continued even when they were losing, they persisted when others were quitting. Pay good attention to the lives of the people you call successful fellows today, they remained consi...

SEE BEYOND NOW

SEE BEYOND NOW Many a times, we get so disturbed about the future and  what it holds for us. We become so confused with so much worries and anxieties. We brood for so long. We ask questions. We answer questions. We make assumptions. We make generalisations. We draw conclusions and we write stories. We scream and weep. Our minds says "what if'. Stop thinking about "what if". Remember your thoughts become realities. Why stress yourself so much when the future you bother about is so bright and beautiful. What height of greatness, fulfilment, happiness and success awaits you in the future. Believe me, that future you see over there is already made. The present situation and your present condition is not an indication that the future is gonna be bad, see beyond the challenges and failures. You don't have so much today but the future has so much for you. You need to rise above fears and tears and be the best. Throughout the week,  you may be weak but don't be...
