Yesterday i found myself watching that old legendary movie once again, I'm talking about  'Home Alone'.

Ita was such a good time for me remembering those childhood days once again. I'm sure I've watched that movie like ten times or more sef.

Well while watching it this time with eyes of an adult 😁, there was something I picked.

You remember very well for those conversant with that movie that it was about a young boy who was mistakenly left at home by his family in their hyper excitement of going for Christmas. By the time the mother realized she had left her son back home she became so upset and so worried about leaving her little boy alone with no one to look after him and help him out, since probably in her own assessment there were lots of things he wouldn't be able to do.

Fast forward to the boy himself, when he realized he was alone, he kind of braced up after the initial shock and took responsibility.

We saw him able to understand that some thieves were trying to break in and steal and did the little stunts and tricks he knew to ward them off their house.

We also saw him able to go shopping for some little groceries he needed as well as place order for food and all of that. His family leaving him behind caused his little brain to think and fashion out ways of survival until they returned. He never knew he could do that until that situation arose.

It is the same with our everyday life experiences, sometimes because nothing has happened to us we feel there are things we can't do but then life shows up with her 'hurricane challenge'  and blows away all our comfort zones and familiar environments.

Then we are left alone in the cold and we feel depressed at first thinking all is lost but suddenly when we choose to look within we will begin to discover a hidden  strength  in there we never knew existed, and as we tap into it and use we begin to see that we have what it takes to be all we are designed to become.


So my challenge to you today is to look within, you have all it takes to overcome and be all you were designed to become.

The Crisis of Identity.

When we went from placing value on what really matters to just external things humanity fell so hard and broke it's back. The impact of that fall is why we have so many people with low self esteem and terrible identity crises. Much more than failing economies, hunger, disease, widespread poverty is the crisis of the individual.  The crisis of seeking validation, of feeling some sort of worth and value. That inner questioning and probing that requires an answer. Sadly many people do not have the answer to that inner question. They then turn to things, all kinds of external things and invite them to come in and answer that inner man. Unfortunately the externals can't do so. They lack the capacity to answer those questions and the individual in a bid to either answer or silence that question seeks more of these externals and at every point they keep saying No, we don't have the answers. The individual is now confused, what do I do? Then he sights another human li...
