“The more you try, so desperately, to prove a point to get someone's approval, the more fleeting that approval might be, causing a chain of depreciation of self-esteem. Sometimes, all you need do is truly love yourself and get only the approval and acceptance of the inner self.”
Ufuoma Apoki“People of different dispositions make the world go round. That's why it's insanity to try to be someone else.”
Ufuoma Apoki“Before you take up that fight against history, do remember that she has a track record of beating 'champions' like you. Therefore, it's best to stick with the flow, and go with what works for everyone. But . . . In the event you do decide to go against the convention, all you need is to get your heart straight, and your eyes fixed on the target. You might just be the underdog that will surprise history.”
Ufuoma Apoki“You have the power inside of You. Do not be scared to wield it, for the battles You face give no allowances for your cute little sense of innocence and ignorance. They will overrun and vanquish You at the slightest chance they get. So, fight You must to stay up or be prepared to go down.Remember this though: With great power comes great responsibility and true power is wielded efficiently in time and with wisdom.”
Ufuoma Apoki“I've lost so many battles than I can even remember. But I didn't know I was stronger than I thought.”
Ufuoma Apoki“I've lost so many battles than I can even remember. What I never knew, though, was that I was actually stronger than I thought I was.”
Ufuoma Apoki“Virtues should not be seen as a medium to please others, else, they'll always fall short. They should, first, be a medium of self-edification.”
Ufuoma Apoki“Don't make the effort to appeal to logic and reasoning all the time; very few people can relate to that. Appeal to emotions instead; everyone, at least, can relate to that.”
Ufuoma Apoki“We're taught and trained to hold it all inside, to not feel the beauty of the innocence of letting it out when and how we feel it.And we do; we do for the fear of avoiding the stigma of weakness, until it breaks us from the inside, slowly and silently, and there is "little" or "nothing" left of us. Those who are courageous to hold on, learn to be strong and proficiently wave off the numerous darts as they come. Do they, really? It takes just one "planned" move, and all the impenetrable walls come crashing down.”
Ufuoma Apoki“Letting go is one of the most difficult experiences to deal with whether it's right or wrong. So make the most of every moment you've been gifted with. To whoever you initiate contact with and wherever, try to leave a positive impression. To whoever you have the power to make smile, exploit that power as often and best as you can, because when every other material thing fades, it's those memories that keep us alive”
Ufuoma Apoki“The heart, so small, yet, able to grow so large, sometimes always wants to take or give more than can be managed successfully. Thanks to the rational head, though, it's always there to save her from taking more than she can contain. . . . or so it thinks.”
