Welcome to Kenze's blog

Towards the end of 2017, I put up a post on  life quotes that will help you to succeed in 2018  and I believe a lot of people found it very useful. Words they say, are powerful. We all need to hear inspiring words that would propel us further from time to time. Everyday, I see, read and hear about a lot of people who gave up because of they were depressed and had no one to talk to. That's one of the reasons why I wrote a post on handing rejection. Your encouraging and motivational words can go a long way in helping people out of their depression. So, against this backdrop, I've come with a second part of this inspiring post. These few positive and motivational quotes are sure to leave you inspired.  *If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion, 'cos your passion is most likely gonna lead you to your purpose. *Every opportunity is an investment in your capacity. *The true measure of friendship isn't how you feel about someonelse, it is how they

Have you ever regretted decisions that have reshaped your life, whether for better or for worse? At a recent get-together with a couple of friends, we became so relaxed, some of us started discussing our dead marriages. Out of about 12 of us in the group, only three were currently in their ‘husbands’ homes, we’ve all fared pretty well after the divorce, but would any of us have wished she’s acted differently, knowing how mercurial the state of matrimony is now? “The end of my marriage came as a terrible shock to me,” confessed Abi, a pharmacist running a lucrative chemist. “But it shouldn’t have. Even though I was with my husband for over 15 years, the cracks had started shortly after the birth of our third son. “We never really stopped to address the reasons why we seldom turned on each other, why sex had been so mechanical it had lost its pleasure. Instead, we limped along for another eight years when the end finally came. And it was because my husband fell in love with a personal

"Thank you for applying for this job but......" A lot of job seekers would be very familiar with this line, I guess. You know these days, you really do not need to open an email before you know whether or not your interview/test was successful. Once you check the preview and it starts with a line like that, most often than not, the news is always a negative one. This kind of situation has led many folks to the point of feeling rejected, which most times snowballs into depression.

It could come from your workplace, family or even friends. Some people who are divorced today walked out of their marriages simply because they felt rejected by their spouse.

This is a Guest Post. Dont get it twisted, love is a beautiful thing! That was the verdict passed by our very own DBanj. What the koko crooner failed to add, however, is that the beauty of love fades away at the point of marriage, at least in Africa. Marriage, which should be the apex of love affairs, has become a sad albatross in the love adventure simply because of the many barriers we put in the way all in the name of tradition. Oh, how I hate that word with perfect hatred! I am speaking here in reference to the many stages of marriage rites in African cultures which discourage rather than strengthen marriage. The worst and pivotal part of these rites of passage is the payment of bride price to obtain the lady and have her for keeps. Before putting my pen to paper, I floated the idea of the termination of bride price payment before a random cross-section of people of different age groups and traditional and educational leanings. Most of the responses I got toed the line of How d
