The Heart of the Matter
By Nkiru Ogbuli.
Happy new year to you prospective ardent reader. I can assure you that you would be back for more.
I was conflicted on what to title this segment. Matters of the Heart came to mind. With that, I reasoned, it would be tailored towards just love matters. The Heart of the Matter will have a wider scope but I pray that this year love doesn’t show you ‘shege’. Time to use your head!
As grown women, may we do things differently. It’s time for self. Self love, self awareness, self improvement and with it, self confidence.
Discover yourself more this year. It is time to keep your own rules. Keep at the back of your mind that what you don’t have, you can not give to another.
I pray above all things that you keep an open mind. The benefits of open mindedness are numerous. It will help you avoid conflicts as much as possible because you when you understand and respect people’s perspectives and boundaries, you become more willing to accept and work with them on that basis. It also makes room for empathy and compromise.
Happy New Year guys. Let’s celebrate because this is going to be a year filled with great things.
Cheers!
