One beautiful morning, I went out to do my normal jogging but this day I decided to go to the stadium near where I leave. While doing my exercise, I notice a guy sitting on the stairs just opposite me. He was playing music with his small radio so loud and walking up and down. His behavior was somehow odd.

I continued doing my exercise and at the same time watching him. With the way he was behaving, I was somehow convinced that everything might not be ok with him. Though I was scared, but I knew that I will not forgive myself if I do not at least try to chat with this guy. Maybe that is his character or maybe something is wrong or maybe he just needs someone to talk to.

Many people came in jogged and left. Everybody minding his business without even noticing his presence even with the high music he was playing and pacing up and down just on his own. We all mind our business. We do not check with our neighbors, friends, or families.

We do not have to know someone before asking how the person feels. A suicide survivor said if on his way to go and commit suicide by jumping off the bridge, someone has spoken a kind word to him, maybe he wouldn’t have jumped off the bridge but luckily for him, he was served after making his jump by fishermen. There are many who were not as lucky as he was.

So coming back to this guy, I stopped my jogging and went beside him pretending to be resting, and then I started communication with him. He sat down and started charting with me. We charted for a long time and I made sure that I went around the main topics that I actually wanted to know, Like work, accommodation, friends, family, and his state of mind.

After our discussion, I saw a different person, calm, happy, and more relaxed. And he said, “Thank you”. I am not a phycologist. So I cannot say what that “thank you” was all about. But the only thing I know is that if he was planning something bad before, like committing suicide, he didn’t do it because I see him sometimes while driving by.

Most of the time, what some people need to rethink or to stop from doing something bad they want to do, is just a kind word from someone.  I also found out that no matter what our position in life is, we can still help people along the way. You don’t have to be a saint to help someone.

Suicide is not the answer, because what you are going through today might be the experience that someone needs in the future to keep them from committing suicide or giving up on life. And being able to really help someone when you survive this, will surely be a source of joy to you.

There is a great joy, a wonderful future, and a bright light at the end of the tunnel for you in this life if you just persist a little longer. It is these hard and difficult times, these trials of life, that prepare us for what we have to do in the future.

Unfortunately, many people commit suicide, not knowing that they could help someone else with their wisdom and experience of having been in that situation, too. The best thing to do is talking about it, even if it’s you talking to a stranger.

Many people try taking anti-depressants to deal with their problems, it’s ok but personally, the best way to face this problem is to talk to people you trust, families, friends and sometimes most people are more at ease talking with strangers, to someone that will not judge them.

When someone is in a depressive state, the perspective from which they look at the situations is defined by that pain. For that reason, things seem hopeless. The best thing to do as I said before is to talk to someone, vent out their anger to someone who will listen, and not be judgemental. Even if this person is a stranger.

You need to know that tomorrow is another day, a wonderful new day. The sun will rise, the birds will sing, and you will be stronger. Then you will be in the best position to help someone else survive that pivotal moment when life isn’t in the balance.

We all have a purpose in life. It just takes some of us a long time to find what that is. You need to stay alive to find out your purpose in life. There is enough love going around but there are millions of people in this world who feel like they have no one who loves them.

NO!!! That you have not met that love, doesn’t mean that it will not get to you. It might just be around the corner. Just keep living and striving and that compassion, that love you desire will find you.

If you really look around, you’d be surprised to know how many people who are walking around happy today, that have at least once, considered killing themselves. This moment now is but a tiny part of your wonderful journey of life ahead.  

Someone out there is looking for you, someone out there needs your love. Do not deny him/her your love. Talk to someone when you feel depressed because we all need someone to lean on.

The post Depression: Suicide is not the answer. Read this! appeared first on ELITETAKE.

Marriage is a sacred union ordained by God to last for a lifetime. In His mind, there was no indication that it would be time-bound, but the Corruptors keep finding their way through just to destroy it. It was meant to last indefinitely in happiness till death does the parting, and for it to be so, the following must ensure:-

1) True Love:- True love is a calm and profound passion that exists without prejudice. it’s longsuffering and holds strongly onto forgiveness. It looks beyond the physical and it’s attracted by qualities. Its affection is genuine and timeless. In falling in love, something of who you have to go: a part of you have to go and be replaced with a part of the other, or even your whole-self be completely replaced with the other and only then there is a love affair. This essentially means the person is as important to you as you are to yourself. It’s more or less a fusion than just a union. Love is a perfect bond for a lasting marriage. It’s a selfless unconditional concern for doing to the other what you’ll do to yourself; right and good. It covers millions of wrongs and mistakes, but does not eliminate them because “Man” is imperfect, but love covers that imperfection in “Man”. If such love is cultivated by married couples, they will have a lasting and happy marriage. An old woman once told me that in a real marriage bonded by true love, a husband is like a wife’s little baby she nurtures with tender care. Baffled by what I mistook for a cynical irony, I asked; “What do you mean by that?” It was a cool evening and I did not have much to do. I honestly was not in the mood for a lecture on marriage but something told me that I was going to profit from the rustic gourd of her quaint knowledge. “There are different reasons why people go into marriage”, she continued. “There are marriages of convenience, of sympathy, and of help. When the frothy and ephemeral foundations or reasons crumbles, they usually head for the rocks. Continuing, she said. “Some others go into marriage just because they want their lineage to continue. They need a male child to carry the name of the family. Some are forced or force themselves to marry because their mates have all gotten married and they need to be like others. It does not take time before the desire or fanfare wears out and the thorny issues of irreconcilable differences will surface. Minor issues will lead to altercations and squabbling and when the question of divorce creeps in, mending fences become almost impossible. The only marriage that stands the test of time is the one founded on true love and this is the marriage I’m telling you about” She smiled and took a glance at her wiry hands. “As I was saying, the same way the wife pets and cares for her little baby is the same way she should treat her husband to get the best human spirit out of him. If a woman wakes up in the morning, the first thing she should do is to give her husband a kiss on his forehead, which means, ‘i care about you’ which is far better than a mere good morning. She then takes care of his immediate needs.”

2) Respect:- In my opinion, respect is giving consideration and honor to each other: respecting one’s dignity and expressed views. It’s obvious that two people cannot have exactly the same view on every matter: the wife’s opinion may be different from the husband’s and what is important to one may not be applicable to the other, but respect stands as the arbiter between them. Respect tends to eliminate demeaning comments and insulting words from one another and fills their hearts with honor for each other. Respect brings about understanding one’s way of reasoning and communication. A partner in a union may be oblivious to the customs and norms of how the other thinks feels and sees life. Consequently, he or she may inadvertently disrespect the other without realizing or even intending to do so, and this is where understanding comes in.

3) Understanding:- This is a very important point in a marriage that must be done. In understanding the other, one needs to adjust his/her reasoning- the way each thinks, and way of life just to consider the other partner. By doing this, one is trying to incorporate the other’s way of doing things: the way he/she thinks, his/her approach to views, ideas, and to life itself, his use of words, and manners into one’s own. It’s like a learning process that must be done, I mean, just for the union to last. Understanding is the conciliator of every relationship; it plays a very important role in marriage. With it, one is able to look away from the fault in the other’s life and still remain in love with the other. To understand each other, you must listen attentively to one another with your mind not just your ears. You must be attentive so as to understand the spirit working in your partner at any time. Once you can discern the spirit, you will know how best to approach or react to your partner’s actions or words for the most peaceful living.

4) Endurance:- I do not believe in endurance and I do not subscribe to it because it’s negatively bad when it stops holding faith. When endurance fails, which of course it will someday when its cup is filled up, its outburst is often unimaginable. In many traditions, men are designed as untouchables and near demigods. I am opposed to the tradition of subjection and will not subject anyone to such. Understanding is meant for a lasting relationship, not endurance. When endurance fails, anger and irritation take over and the union is one step away from break up. In true love, you understand, you don’t endure.

5) Managing Anger:- When anger ensues in marriage as it sometimes does, the only way to stop it, is for one of the partners to play the fool and be calm and quiet- not lashing back or trying to prove that he or she is right. When anger is treated with calmness, it dies away in no time. The one who plays the fool is not really a fool, but the wiser of the two and that is why I preach true love in marriage. I will advise the wife to play the role of a virtuous woman and be calm/quiet when the husband is exerting his authority as the head of the house as they often do. It doesn’t make her a lesser being, rather a great woman of substance. Calmness and composure in the face of provocation is the measure of a wise person’s strength.

6) Kind Words:- It is said, “Good words soothe the heart”. A woman should learn to use kind words on her husband and she does not necessarily need to tell the husband to do the same to her because it’s reciprocated. A woman who uses kind words on her husband increases the love in her husband’s heart for and she gets everything she needs from him if he has it. The wife should try never to use abusive words on her husband because the more she does that, the more she hates him and vice versa. Let the mind she has for her husband be godly and let her mouth speak blessings unto him.

7) Trust:- It’s placing complete confidence in one’s partner, believing that one would never intentionally do anything to sadden the other- betray him/her emotionally, physically, or spiritually. Trust does not listen to hearsay, no matter who from. Even when caught with evidence, keep the faith, with the intention that it was done inadvertently. Keeping in mind the imperfect nature of man and with love, forgiveness is pertinent. Make your heart believe whatsoever that will not hurt you so as to be happy and live long. Keeping things that’ll impinge on your health and relationship is not good for the heart. It kills one and the relationship gradually. Having in your mind that “man,” is imperfect will help you not to separate from your partner because the next person has his/her own imperfection and may rile you too.

8) Forgiveness: Considering man’s imperfect nature, mistakes are bound to happen, and where true love exists, forgiveness is needed to keep the love going. Remember this, you can only receive forgiveness from God if only you forgive those who offend you.

9) Sexuality:- Sexuality has often been the center of every marriage. A wise man once said, “A man should fulfill his duty as a husband and a woman should fulfill her duty as a wife. A wife is not the master of her own body, but her husband is. In the same way, a husband is not the master of his body, but his wife is. DO NOT DENY YOURSELVES TO EACH OTHER, unless you first agree to do so for a while, for a good reason like fasting and praying; but then resume normal marital relations. In this way, you will be kept from giving in to temptation because of lack of self-control.” But some women pray and fast very often and by so doing, deny their husband their body, which very often sends the man to the next available woman. It’s said, there is time for everything. I’m an advocate of true love, which brings about self-control. If true love abides between a couple, none of them will desire to cheat on the other. But the truth is if you can’t discharge your duty very well, get help by reconstructing your mindset, or from authority. Sometimes too, the woman’s behavior kills or weakens the man’s desire, so we should check ourselves and make the marriage work. We can do this and we need to do it for love’s sake.

10) Adultery:- Adultery has been man’s undoing from time and the desire for it is becoming greater than the desire for sinless sex. This evil is wrecking marriages today with ease: beclouding one’s sense of reasoning and judgment, and also destroying one’s physical and spiritual life, A wise man one’s said, “Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone. Be happy with your wife and find your joy with her. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love. Why should you give your love to another woman? The skirt of a wicked woman is a trap. The foolish man gets caught in it because he has no self-control. This also applies to women too.

11) False prophecy:- Married couples should beware of fake pastors and prophets. They have destroyed many homes in our time. When they fail to solve a problem presented to them, they will create another. They may put the blame on the husband or wife and by so doing, cause problems in the marriage. I have seen it happen, so be very careful. There is no perfect man or woman out there. We all have our good parts and faults, so use the good parts of one to right or manage his/her faults.

What is a woman’s worth?

I know that a woman’s worth is the totality of who she is not just her body parts.  The most common visuals of the woman in our society today focus on her body.

But a woman’s worth is more than her most observable body parts.  Women act as the moral compass and a sounding board for their spouses, friends, and family. We stand up for what’s right. We make men worthy members of society.

You know, many of us scale our worth with how slim or how fat we are, how tall or how short we are but we don’t see how kind or how understanding we are. And that makes us question ourselves, our decisions, our confidence, our worth, and so on.

We have to stop questioning our guts and stop thinking of giving up. Before I continue, I will like to highlight this. Most of the way you scale or see yourself is influenced by what people around you say to you or what they think about you.

Why give a dame about what they think? given up is not a solution because if they don’t see you for who you are, then they are not worth being around you because you’re powerful, smart, and unique.

Listen, You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you can even imagine. You just need to believe in yourself. You don’t have to convince anyone to respect or be committed to you. You are better and stronger than that.

What surprises me most of the time, Is that day after day, many people across the world get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance. The truth is that I have never seen a scale that can tell you how wonderful you are, how sweet you look, how talented and brave you are, or even tell you your worth.

The scale can only give you a number. That’s all. Don’t give the scale more credit than it deserves. Take note of the number, if you want, then get off the scale and live your life. Deep down in you, there is this strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness that you alone can find.

You don’t need a scale or anyone’s approval to be happy. They said the rule of survival is ‘me first. So let your target be to love yourself first. You should know that Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself. Prove yourself to yourself, not to others because, by the time you start liking who you are, people will start loving you for you.

Be happy from the inside and then with that glow, that ray of sunshine that brightens up your face from heart, will attract the right people towards you. Believe in yourself. Stop being the only thing standing in your way.

Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself. It’s time, my dear, you stop letting what people will say or feel control the way you live your life and your happiness. Be the priority in your life and take control of it because If you don’t, someone else will do that for you. 

You are awesome because you are beautiful just the way you are. And please don’t you ever forget who you are and what you’re worth.

A woman’s worth is just more than you can understand

French Open: ALL French single players out of Roland Garros competition in the 2nd round. First in 53 years now.

For the first time since 1968, none of the French players, both men, and women, qualified for 3rd round of the French Open competition.

 Really, it’s something that has never happened for the past 53 years. On the men’s side, the last players that were eliminated last Thursday afternoon and night were Richard Gasquet and Gael Monfils. On the women’s side, only 3 players qualified for the 2nd round but were all eliminated and none qualified for the 3rd round.

This is a very sad result for the French tennis federation.

Last year was no different. The french players both men and women did not go far only that this year’s French Open is the worst for the French.

Where is the french tennis future heading to? Hugo Gaston and Corentin Moutet pulled a lot of weight last year and the French believed that these new players will go far in this year’s Roland Garros. But they were all disappointed with their performance with many of them not even making it to the second round.

The only hope they have now is the men’s double with P.H Herbert and N. Mahut. They will be playing the semi-final on Tuesday on the court Simonne-Mathieu.

During the president’s visit to southeast France on Tuesday, the French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped in the face by an unknown individual in the crowd.

The president’s security quickly intervened, arrested the man, while making sure that no other harm came to the president. But that did not stop the president from continuing his meeting with the public.

The police have arrested 2 people that slapped the president, the man in question, and his supporter. According to the latest report, the 2 men might be facing prison and will pay a good amount of money.  

Many politicians have condemned this act, especially Marine Le Pen, the French president’s highest rivalry.

She said that she knows that she is Emmanuel Macron’s main rivalry but that Macron is the president of the republic as such can not be touched. She intends to beat him politically cannot accept the slightest violence towards him.

Many French people have sent out their support for the president and for now, the culprits are being detained.

Karim Benzema

French Football: The return of Karim Benzema to the French national team.

After being absent for more than 5 years from the french national football team because of the problem between him and Valbuena,

Benzema has been called back to the national team by coach Didier Deschamps.

His return to the national team is being met with both happiness by his fans and resistance by some others who are accusing him of a lot of things including not singing the French national anthem with other players.

Many of the French sports analysts have also criticized him but still came to the conclusion that his presence is going to be a big help to the team. They are now preparing for Euro 2020 this month.

In the last Euro competition, 2016, France lost to Portugal in the finals but went ahead to win the 2018 world cup all without Karim Benzema.

During one of his interviews, he said, ” I’m very happy to be here, to come back to the France team again. The adaptation is perfect, there is a good play on the pitch. I am in a hurry to start a match.”

  Didier Deschamps will construct his strikers line up with Benzema, Mbappé and Griezmann. With this line-up, the French team is seen as one of the best in this Euro 2020 competition.
