Ten Lessons Millennials Can Learn from The Alchemist

The Alchemist is a well-known book that likes of Pharrel have attributed to it changing their lives. Oprah also loves The Alchemist and even interviewed the author Paulo Coelho on her super soul Sunday conversations.

As famous as it is now it wasn’t always so. The alchemist was not a hit seller after it was first published. Paulo told Oprah that after it didn’t sell he took it to a big publishing house in brazil. He explained to them that he had a published book that didn’t sell but he trusted it would sell and they took the book and published it.

My Journaling Experience: How My Affirmations/Gratitude Journal Helps Me Overcome Anxiety

M onday evening-it’s always a Monday, when I get the anxiety. I start to over-think about how my life is going all wrong. There are voices in my head reminding me all that I am not. The voices are way louder this evening, letting me know that I am still not there-where I desire to be. I don’t argue with it. I believe it.

The Graduation Speech I wish I heard on My Graduation

“T his day introduces you to adulthood. It’s the day that symbolises the end of your childhood which entails receiving school fees cheques. You have now become a grown up whom we can expect to reciprocate if not in cheques at least gifts and cash.

I pray for the love of everything good that you pursued what you love. That you are ready to conquer the world with your passion and now even more with the education you were offered. If not, I hope you then realise that the power you were given was to go figure that out.

The Pressure To Get Married

Bills introduce you to adulthood, then relatives introduce you to old age. “You are growing old, when are you bringing someone home?” This and other related annoying questions are meant to let you know age is catching up with you, get a family.

I am a millennial striving to figure out my place in this world. I am constantly doubting my place here and focused on staying sane as I juggle it all. When these are the things that go through my mind often, I am constantly reminded marriage should also be one of them.

Hair Products my Natural Hair has Been Loving

I once had lice in my hair. Yes, those damn insects once fed on me. I was a child and had gotten them from playing at a place grandma had warned me and my cousins from going. The consequence was going bald. I didn’t love my hair that much so it was alright.

Flash forward to now and I completely love my hair. I don’t think I am going bald any time soon because kids made fun of my bald head and I am still scarred. I make it my mission to take care of my mane especially now that the natural hair market is so wide.
