FEAR:THE IMMOBILIZER




Hello my Wisdom Nugget Fam!😊

 Mnjaua free trial ya 2020 imeisha😂😂😂... so I hope are on board doing what you need to be doing!

 This weeks topic has been sponsored by The Anxiety and Overthinking Limited. Established AC (After Christ). It was listed in Forbes as the one of the biggest companies to invest in lost dreams and hopes. They have been having a successful run to be honest. But we are hoping to get them out of business! SOOON!

 PS: Am I the only one whose mind went straight to transformers soon as I read the immobilizer part? Sounds like some ugly green robot with some twisted sense of humor.. ama i'm crazy? lol

Anyway, I stumbled upon this passage from the Life of Pi by Yann Martell and felt it fit the topic at hand to a T. 
 As Pi (the main character) was recounting his experiences as a castaway on the Pacific Ocean, he said,

“I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary... It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. ... One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly armed foot soldier. Doubt does away with it with little trouble. ... Reason comes to do battle for you. You are reassured. Reason is fully equipped with the latest weapons technology. But, to your amazement, despite superior tactics and a number of undeniable victories, reason is laid low. You feel yourself weakening, wavering. ...
Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, you’ve defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you.”

I particularly loved what he said about fear "slipping in your mind like a spy" merely on account of being dressed as "mild mannered doubt" How often do we let this wolf in sheep clothing slip in and take over? How often do we try cover it up with "trying to be cautious" but secretly we know wassup?

 This fake "transformer" can come in many forms: It can be fear of disappointing others, of overstepping my bounds, of making the wrong decision, fear of making the right decision ,but of not being good enough to see it through, fear that you are wasting your time, fear that our indecisiveness made you miss your chance, fear that you want the wrong things or not understanding what the right things are... I can go on an on hunny! on and on!

 I am in no way shape or form trying to discredit the real substantiated fear, which can be a true asset. What I am talking about is the unsubstantiated kind which we should be watchful over before it permeates through our minds with "unerring ease". 

Because if we let it, there is no end to what it can hold us back from doing. In so many ways, it is indeed, as Pi says "Life's true opponent."

 And that's on 👇

 With that being said, I have been walking on Fear Boulevard for a minute now but it's time I switched to You've-Got-This Street and decided to start a YouTube Channel.

Even Patrick is happy for me!!!
PS: This is my fave gif of all time😂😂😂
I am scared sh*tless but I will never really know what this could possibly morph into until I try. Plus I ain't letting no undercover ugly transformer spy come in my way... oh no sirree!!!

 The channel is called the Ordinary Girl.

I want to cover everyday issues that people go through i.e celibacy, early marriage, situationships, joblessness, being a skinny girl in an ass-obsessed society....and the wooooooorrrks!!!😏😏😏

ENDLESS STRUGGLE TO LOVE SELF

As I cry in my bed at 3.36 am at the feeling of insufficience in every sense of the word... My question is how do I always end up here? In this same damn state? When will it ever get easier? Will I ever get to a point where I wholly love and accept myself in all my flaws and misgivings? Or is this just some hogwash we read in articles and blogs? Have you?  Being exactly a month away from turning 25 I always thought if all other things failed me .... I knew all the work I had put in on my journey to self love would have paid off by then. I'd be happier at least in that regard... But here I am crying my eyes out feeling like ugly Betty only with alot more chub to carry around. So how do people get out of this hole? Nobody should dare open their mouth and tell me to go work out, that I'll love myself then! What about all the scars I have? Will the gym remedy that too? What about my overly bruised ego from comments I've received about my weight, how exactly w

THE SOCIETAL CANCER: THE MICROWAVE MENTALITY

The millennial generation that we are in is the all-time consumer of the Microwave mentality. In 30 seconds we want to hear our microwaves beep with our Range Rovers outside waiting for us with little to no investment of any kind just because we are entitled little brats, hehe! The excitement before the unrealistic results that never come 😂😂😂 Instant gratification is a drug that has been force fed to us through social media if you ask me. We have been made to believe that we need to have achieved amazing and grandeur things right this very minute, whether we have the means or we don't. It has to be achieved by any means necessary. We buy things we do not need and can't afford, with money we do not have all out to please the masses and prove our apparent social standing. Doing it for the Gram, huh?! Where is the lie? The need for instant gratification manifests itself in more ways than one. It is the child of impatience, birthed together with comparison a

LOSING YOUR SENSE OF SELF.

Has something so devastating happened to you or someone close to you and you saw how everything changed for them! Pain and trauma have a way of changing people and how they view life. Some people get knocked down by the sudden life changing event and dust themselves up and fight through it.... Others have the hardest time getting past it but once they do,they come out a different person... others barely make it out! Some people really start to find their identify in the pain and the hurt that they don't remember who they were before it all. The pain is their familiar place. As a means to suppress all the internal war they are experiencing, some turn to alcohol, drugs, cutting themselves, self medicating.... These are things we see around us all the time. We just don't really know how much someone is going through and as per usual we are always so quick to judge. You know I'm right! This year alone,I feel like I have gotten the opportunity to meet pretty i
