VERA’S LOUNGE INSPIRED TEACHINGS

On Today’s segment of Frankly Speaking, a very strong woman, whom I have nicknamed Grace and Strength, joins me on the platform to share her true life story about how life knocked down at a very young age, and how she was able to get right back on her feet. I hope you enjoy listening to her story, and most importantly, l hope that her story teaches you one or two lessons.

On today’s segment of Frankly Speaking, someone, who wishes to remain anonymous, shares with us, the story of an emotional entanglement he had, which almost ended his marriage. He hopes that his story teaches someone one or two lessons.

Bill Copeland once said that: "The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field, and never score" How true can this be? How important is setting goals in life? On today’s episode, I share my thoughts on the importance of setting life goals and also shared my top 5 tips for setting and achieving goals.

I am back with with a sequel to the “Lessons life has taught us” episode. On this episode, I share with you, some of the lessons that I have learned in my few decades on earth. Hopefully, you can pick one or two that will impact your life positively.

Quitting might just be the easiest action to take. What other option do people have when what they are doing seems not to be working? But do you have to quit? On today’s episode, I shared a story about Kenny, who almost gave up on her dreams, not knowing what was ahead of her. I hope her story impacts your life positively.

On this episode, I had the privilege of getting some of my listeners to share with us, some of the lessons they have learned from living. This was done with the hope that someone’s life out there, can be made better by one or two of these lessons. Please feel free to use the “message” button to send us your own life lessons, and we will share with everyone on our second Volume of “Lessons Life Has Taught Us!” Thank you.

I decided to kickstart the Frankly speaking segment with my own personal real life story! Frankly Speaking is a segment of the podcast, where people share their real life stories in order to inspire, teach or motivate someone out there, or just to let them out of their chests. Today’ episode is titled “Gratitude”. We sometimes take a lot of things fore-granted. Either because we don’t know any better, or because we are not just that thoughtful. I did at some point in my life, and I am happy to share my experience, and I hope it inspires or teaches someone. Thanks for listening.

A segment coming!!!

A lot of factors contribute to success in life, no doubt, but I have come to understand that one of those factors, even though should be very obvious, is not and so some people do not realise how important it is to being successful. On this episode there, I talked about one very important attribute of successful people. As usual, the play drives home the point with Debby’s experience. I hope you enjoy listening and that it impacts your life positively.

What is life? What does it mean to you? What are we meant to be doing here? On today’s episode, I shared my thought on an issue that is very important to me, which is living a purposeful life. I have seen a lot of people who desire to do better, to have a more fulfilling and meaningful life, but are unable to achieve that. These people are not entirely unsuccessful, but they simply are not satisfied with their lives. And this can be attributed to the fact that they feel like they are just here for “the show”. These people are in different professions not because they want to, but because they need to. I am a believer that the gift of a man makes way for him. Therefore I decided to share my thoughts on how important it is for one to truly align with their calling…their talents and gift, and give themselves a chance to a fulfilling, satisfying life.

In your journey to success, are you competing with anyone? What is a healthy and an unhealthy competition? On this episode, I talked about people competing for success and also got my two friends to share their views on what constitutes a healthy and an unhealthy competition. At the end of the episode, you will find out who you truly need to be competing with in your journey to success.

A good number of people are guilty of casually referring to people as “my friend”. And most times, these so called friendships end awfully. Why is that? Should you be calling that person you hang out with once in a while your friend? What is the meaning of friendship? What do those that you call your friends owe you? What do you owe them? What are your expectations in that friendship? Today, my friend, Grace joins me as we discuss friendship, what it is, what it’s not, what to expect from your friends, and what they should expect from you.
