New episode

Down but not out

So the heading may be confusing after listening to this episode but I don’t want to give the wrong impression by using a common misunderstood phrase.

As you listen to this, a lot will come to mind and verify what I’m trying to cut across. Throw the excuses out! Throw the “valid” reasons away because as you’ve heard a million times before, it doesn’t matter and no one really cares anyway.

Give yourself permission to suck in the beginning, allow yourself to fail your way to the top. Just get there! It’s not always going to be glamorous getting there. Let them laugh, let them stunt on you, it’s their season. Yours will come too! Define success for yourself!

Mental Health is something that is taken very lightly in communities, especially in Africa. People confuse being sad with being depressed. People misinterpret Bipolar disorder for some kind of mental illness. Although these are related to some mental issue, it’s not insanity or madness.

You’re not insane, you’re just wired differently. The staggering suicide stats should make you all realize it’s more serious than we thought.

#wokenphilosophy

What’s good my people !! We’re back !! Thank you all so much for not giving up on the #wokenphilosophy. I know it’s been a while, and yes, I felt like giving up after being overwhelmed. But remember as I mentioned in a previous episode, many start, very few see it through. Anyone can start, not everyone makes it because not everyone keeps going. Challenges come, challenges go! They’re part of life, just don’t let it overwhelm you.

You will stumble, you will fall, but what matters most is getting back up! So I’ve started a blog: wokenphilosophy.home.blog; you’re not alone! You’re not crazy. Mental health is not mental illness, if you’ve got depression or if you’re bipolar, you’re not a big baby and you’re not mad. You are just wired differently. You’re awesome!! Tell your story, inspire someone, make your mark!

Got a lot of content coming out so be sure to watch the space. Till the next episode, stay awesome, stay woke! Mr. E out !!

How many of you are familiar with FEDEX? Did you know that Fred Smith is the founder and orchestrator behind the express delivery service that has greatly benefited many of us. It sounds like your typical fairytale story of how easy it is to succeed. I recently read about his journey to where he is and it stunned me, not only did he make millions in losses trying to keep his idea alive but he was doubted. FEDEX was an idea he gave to his lecturer and got a fail because his lecturer thought it was senseless. Imaine that !! So many of us have great ideas and plans that seem unrealistic but they're only impossible if you choose to accept that, let's dive in !!

Alright my people, it's high time I put this conversation to rest. All this "Good" and "bad" stuff is just too subjective, but more than that, personally I feel it's too irrelevant! Why waste time or bother asking if someone is good? Why try and find a label for someone? Why not ask things like "Are you kind? Do you help people? Are you well intentioned?" Let's dive in !!

So as I've mentioned in a previous Episode, I want to talk about what people perceive as “Bad” and “Good”. Personally I feel this matter is very subjective. Depending on your perspective and of course your ability to reason, it will be easy for you to pin point what counts as good or bad. Tune into tis episode and get my perspective! It's not the truth or only valid claim, as I stated, it's my view on the matter, not facts or a view I want to impose.

So I've been thinking… Yesterday I spoke about how we are all celebrities in our own right, we tend to have conversations about other people. We say “people” this or people that. Yes! There are negavtive people and all, the “paparazzi” and what not. Why wonder why people are a certain way, why they're so negative and all that. But I paused for a second to think about me personally. Think about you. Why are you the way you are? Why do you do what you do? Introspection is so deep and it's vital to discover the truth about ourselves. Who are we? Why are we here? Know thyself !!
