The Daily Vulnerable: Shameful period

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: A glorious, blazing sun

by Arit Okpo Woke up feeling grey… Spirit itchy… upset and not sure why. I take the time to think through it and realise my spirit is chafing a bit. Realise that I am again circulating my life around others, and of course, that is not who I am. I am connecting with the thought that... 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]

Learning update | The Daily Vulnerable

by Avviva Oluwaseun Is there really room to stop and smell the roses when the end of the road isn’t defined? The uncertainty of the end or how, is the more reason to stop and smell the roses. Sacrifice is more bearable when an end is defined. The certainty in the midst if chaos is... Read More

Trapped | The Daily Vulnerable

by Avviva Oluwaseun I feel trapped. I feel like I’m being held to a high standard, but it has to be defined by them; I’m not sure I even recognise myself again or it’s now them talking and I don’t think; I’m ok with that. What happens when the mistakes start to occur? What happens... Read More

Mudita | The Daily Vulnerable

by Paul Jarvis In Sanskrit, there’s a term called ‘Mudita,’ and there’s no equivalent word in English. Essentially, it means to have sympathetic or unselfish joy for others—regardless of where they’re at in their own lives. Really, if we spend less time envying or assuming that others think less of us because they’re in a... Read More

Enough | The Daily Vulnerable

(by Paul Jarvis) Exterior mindfulness (some call it minimalism) only works when we solve for enough. It’s not just a matter of having less stuff or having nothing or having that one carefully arranged bohemian tchotchke on your live-edge cedar coffee table. (That’s only useful if minimalism is simply an aesthetic you like for your... Read More

This is how | The Daily Vulnerable

(by Ado Aminu) This is how you do life, You cry until you don’t anymore, You carry the weight of your fallen body on tired shoulders and knees whose skin is broken and bleeding and you crawl until your legs have regained their strength and are able to carry you and then you walk, You... Read More

The other face

I had just returned from a series of meetings and was physically exhausted. I felt like I was sleep-deprived and could use a good sleep. Then the call came in, a guest I wasn’t expecting was here to see me. The person had stated that they checked in because they were in the neighbourhood, and... Read More

Remembering who you are

by Chidiogo Akunyili Do you remember me? I can be heard in silence. I can be felt in breath. I am. Do you remember why you walk the earth? I whisper in your dreams, hear me in silence. Be still, and listen. *** Do you remember that you are capable of creation? With each breath,... Read More

Glow, honey, glow

by Moyinoluwa Okunloye Why this happens, I still don’t know. You wake up early in the morning and you are already out of energy! I don’t get it. Isn’t one supposed to be agile and hearty in the morning? Why are you so tired? Why are you so passive to life and everything in it?... Read More

Stewards of ideas whose time has come

by Oluseun Onigbide This powerful paragraph from Autobiography of Martin Luther King, one of my favourite books creates leaps of joy in me: “O God, help me to see myself in my true perspective. Help me, O God, to see that I’m just a symbol of a movement. Help me to see that I’m the victim... Read More

The Daily Vulnerable: Confronting the Imposter

by Faith I had the opportunity to attend the Ivy League of all Ivy Leagues. Imaginably, I was thrilled to be moving across the country, starting my first semester and excited about all the opportunities that lay ahead. When friends would ask why I was moving to Boston, I curtly replied, “for school” without further... Read More

Eighty and bitter

by Damola Morenikeji Yesterday, as I laid on the bed, after meditating, I started thinking of the person I am becoming. I caught myself in this thought and stopped. I had done this before; defining what I want, who I want to be, and what gifts I want to share with the world with love... Read More

Nothing to prove | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ore Fakorede It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that it’s always up to me to decide what to care about. In the plainest term, here’s what would happen if I tried to care about everything: I’d drive myself crazy. From pleasing the uncle who has made himself a mentor-overlord, to giving a stranger’s...

Who are we? | The Daily Vulnerable

by Jonathan Brakarsh Most of us are striving to be stronger, smarter, cooler, richer, more beautiful and many other things. When we step out, presenting ourselves to the world as who we would like to be, we are one person and when we lay in our bed, sleepless at night, thinking our private thoughts we... Read More
