The Daily Vulnerable: Happily human

by Ponmile Shittu Sometimes in January 2014, I found the true meaning of being human and how to be a happy one. “To be truly human is to truly know that someone who hides can’t be known. We were created to need each other, to be honest with each other, to love each other, but... Read More

Working on joy | The Daily Vulnerable

by Damola Morenikeji Recently, a friend told me about what is being done in her company to make staff happy and engaged. I laughed when I heard it, and knew the effects will not last. I had just spent an hour in her office – and from what I saw, the perks wouldn’t do the... Read More

Over-react | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ponmile Shittu A couple of months back, I probably wouldn’t have given thought to if or why people overreact. However, in recent times it has become quite obvious that a lot of times, we let our strong emotions take over, we over-think situations, we analyze wrongly and then we overreact to them. Often times... Read More

Silence and words | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ado Aminu Silence is golden, they say, until it staunch the tide of welling emotions that will otherwise have trickled manageably, drip by small drips, bringing delicate release and no more. I have been silent for most of my growing up and then grown years. My nanny (rest her soul) will tell it if... Read More

Protect your time | The Daily Vulnerable

by Kara Cutruzzula What’s the most important part of your day? Maybe it’s your morning routine — you love the quiet moments with your best friend. (Coffee.) Or maybe it’s collaborating with your colleagues. Feeling stimulated by your work. Maybe it’s the few pages you read during lunch, or the few minutes you spend in... Read More

They don’t understand | The Daily Vulnerable

by Bimpe Aliu I have made it a habit to be okay with knowing that some people can’t understand. That’s not because I’m not saying it enough, not because I haven’t repeated this sentence more than four times. But because when I stutter, as I have every time I talk since primary school, and realise... Read More

Lies I believed | The Daily Vulnerable

by Damola Morenikeji Maybe you’ve heard those lies too, and believed them. “Women can multitask better than men. As a man, you should learn how to multitask.” “Fish stink from the head downward.” “One of the hallmarks of a responsible person is achieving work-life balance.” “Everything is equally important.” One other classic one is about...

Men are broken | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ore Fakorede Many boys are raised to feel and express a narrow range of emotions: courage, anger, pride, tough stuff. “Big boys don’t cry.” “Be strong.” “Boys don’t say they love other boys.” So we grow up with a twisted sense of what manhood means and a deep-rooted lack of empathy for ourselves, never mind...

The Daily Vulnerable: Choose

by Avviva Oluwaseun There’s an innate need in everyone to dominate.

Then there are legacies, the movements everyone one want to embrace – a story everyone wants to be a part of. Those are... Read More

The Daily Vulnerable: On time

I don’t believe that time alone heals all things. I think that time meets our decisions, the environment, and aspirations to make things better. When people base their actions on what’s happening in the present, the latest news or most threading fad, it saps energy leaving them with a misread larger picture. Here, time helps.... Read More

Don’t postpone your rest | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ore Fakorede There’s a foolish pride in pushing ourselves as far as we think we can go. The thing is, our limits are usually not that far off, so we tend to break long before we’re satisfied with how much effort we’re putting in. (Burnout, anyone?) And recovery is much harder than preemptive rest, just... Read More

The Daily Vulnerable: How will you measure your life?

We seem to have a consensus that success is defined differently by each person, and what we all consider important differ. Sometimes, it’s better to take this assumption further and ask how you will measure your life. It’s a process worth the time. Clayton Christensen – in his memory – showed us how: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvos4nORf_Y[/embedyt]

Mudita | The Daily Vulnerable

by Paul Jarvis In Sanskrit, there’s a term called ‘Mudita,’ and there’s no equivalent word in English.

(That’s only useful if minimalism is simply an aesthetic you like for your... Read More
