Mindset

Life is not a bed of roses, but it is your duty to make what it you want. I have fallen a couple of times, got disappointed, and rejected. At some point in my life, I thought maybe something was wrong with me, both physically, mentally and spiritually. Let me share with you a little story about my life. So after my NYSC, I was 26 years old. Our oldest sister started talking to me about marriage.

She said now that I'm done with school and service, I should bring a husband, and to be honest, I wasn't having any relationship at that time. Her words kept on ringing in my ears, and then boom there was this old friend of mine, whom everyone around though that we were dating then, he called me and told me to fix a date that I wish to get married and I did, he told me he will get back to me, I was happy and shared the good news with my siblings, but after sometimes, he told me that it won't work again.

I almost fell into depression, but then on a fateful day, I don't know what happened. I started counting the older ladies in my community who are not married. I now decided to live my life, believing that what will be will be.

I dress well, eat well, put on my makeup, and smile at everything. I was like, I'm not the first unmarried lady in my community or my lineage, and I won't be the last. I don't know where I got all the positive energy I was using from, but I make sure to not put lack of marriage or relationship put my life in danger. I still want to enjoy life; I will take all the bad things it throws at me because I believe that the same way those bad things came, the same way good things will also come.

Forget all the bad things happening around; I swear life is sweet. I have tested that good part of life, and I want to enjoy it more in the future. So to me, having a positive view of life is a choice and a mindset, and that is the part I choose. Today I'm happily married with two amazing kids, sy positive is a mindset...
