Fighting to stay Active

 Being more active from the last quarter of 2020, and still managing to graciously carry this through into the end of the of the first 🥇 month of 2021, is one of the things am grateful for. 

Many times I feel like not just doing anything,no workouts,  Jogging,Walking ,Cycling , Playing Tennis,Swimming or doing light weight lifting and body building exercises. All because the " flesh" is weak - that strange voice in my head - thats just there to serve an opposite purpose when am trying or striving to do anything good or make good, better,and better ,best. 



Thankfully somehow "we" (me and a willing spirit) have continued to push through - when "she"(me flesh) fails to keep you out of the gym, she don't give up - she comes and tells you to reduce your set, or limit your daily or weekly workout targets. 


Either reduce your workout time,skip some days, reduce distance covered,cut down on effort levels, and daily moves .."she" tells you don't push your self beyond your limits, again somehow "we" disregarded her voice and have  still pressed on. Since all of that  don't work, she tells you - You know all these ain't making any real difference right-? you still feel same way, and beside you don't need to lose weight, and I answered her -yeah maybe I don't need the weight loss part now, but I do intend to stay health, agile and age with a youthful stamina and so far,so good.



I hope I can keep going - 4days a week,one hour session in the evenings and swimming once every two weeks. Looking forward hopefully to the end of September 2021 to mark one year of a more Active Me..so help "We" God..


And Oh sorry ladies, the "fleshy voice" in my head has a female voice 🤣

Montell Du'Sean Barnett Jordan (December 3, 1968) isn American singer, songwriter, and record producer. Best known for his 1995 single "This Is How We Do It", on Def Jams Label -Today he Pastors   an Online Church   master peace church For 54 a years old man Montell Jordan is an absolute classic act, an icon of 90's Soul /R&B music. He's has so much stylish excellence and now above all a Pastor. In the mid 90's he's one of the young  music idol, African American artists we would listen to from half way across the world in the dingy streets of Warri in Nigeria,immitate or try to be a wannabe version of the panache they carry. The back story to the success,we never knew - we just saw the fame and fortune and tried to identify with that. Decades later we get the opportunity to hear the back story,the work,the walk,the raise & falls of stardom. The journey for most is crazy. So many fell off,some lost it completely,some made it then eventually los

22 to 23 Great & Greater

It is 4:20 PM, am in the living room having a home made meal I cooked myself the previous evening and drink a bottle of warm Martinellis, apple cider wine. I have been contemplating all day when I will make this post. It's the 31st of December 2022 and in the last 16years, every last day of the year I have maintained this tradition of documenting my general thoughts, for the year ending and my hopes and outlooks for the incoming year. I believe that in going forward, it does demands a good reflection backwards also, like the famous quote from the late Steve Jobs of Apple    “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future"   The interesting thing that life and faith in God has taught me is that this " SOMEHOW" is not a thing of chance or luck.  It's simple God's hand at work.  Every steps he has ordered, even when I take them without k
