 Once upon a time, I used to feign sickness whenever I had to speak in class. I recall one particular instance where I was called upon by one of my primary school teachers during an afternoon mental session to recite something. I think it was the arithmetical table.  This teacher had observed that over some period of time, I had always taken ill suddenly when we had to recite anything in class. And he wasn't going to let me off the hook this fateful day. Oh my, oh my! Apparently, I was confident in my knowledge of the time table figures until I was called. It is as if when you stood up, all your ideas and answers went down.   So here I was standing in front of the class. Long story short. I burst out in tears because I couldn't recall it. It was such a shame.  It broke my confidence to its lowest degree. But I gradually grew strong because some other teachers gave me the opportunity to speak in class and I got better with time.  At some point, I developed a...

  WALK THE TALK! For many, there are a lot of things they would want to do with their lives. They want to do amazing things but all we have seen them do is talk about it. But truth is, you can only chalk success when you walk your talk. How do you do that? Alright, let me attempt to share some snippets with you on how to walk your talk. WILL: One of the best gifts God gifted mankind with is the gift of the will power. Your will power is a major determinant in the turn out of events in your life. How you use it determines what becomes of your life. You can't claim something you have in your heart or say with your mouth when you doubt it in your head. You have to condition both your conscious and subconscious brain to think in ways that will attract to you what you desire in life. With a strong will, you will attract what you wish to see in your life. Just be sure it is not for the wrong things. WORDS: The words you speak have a way of manifesting in your life. The bible says, ......

 Today, I fondly remember and reflect on an encounter I had on Facebook that left me with awe a few years ago.  First, I got a friend request from a lady and I was hesitant to accept. But eventually did.  She read and forwarded my posts, especially my poems to her boss, The Father of Visual Poetry affectionately referred to as Doc. Penpen across the world.  The man then sent me a friend request himself. We started following each other. I was humbled by who he was when I began following.  Then he announced his coming to Africa (Ghana to be precise) for a Poetry and Awards event which had some poets from across the world in attendance as well.  Then upon his arrival in Ghana, he invited me over to his place of lodging for breakfast. We had hearty conversations on Ghana, our respective medical professions (because he trained as a doctor) and eventually zoomed in on literary arts, poetry and publishing, our common loves.  Then, he asked that I went with hi...

 'I Surrender My Trophies Before............... The One Who Has Won All The Victories'. Since I started Writing, Speaking and Teaching some years ago, I have had the privilege of winning national and international awards and received nominations and recognitions from prestigious organizations. I have been quoted, featured, acknowledged in books, interviewed on the media, hosted on college campuses and in churches, had one of my books used as a course material for University students, had mentions online and offline and spoken on platforms I never imagined possible. And all of these came as humbling and honouring experiences for me.  With hindsight, I have realised it has not been because I am perfect at what I do but because God has been abundantly graceful towards me.  Dear God, the boy you have given some small exposure is here to publicly say, Thank You!  Today, Gamel is Simply Grateful To You, God. Counting My Blessings and Giving God Glory.

 SHIFT AND HAVE A LIFT. Everyone is meant for a life higher than what they presently live. I am of the view that, there is always room for improvement and for one to occupy that room, they must know what is resourceful and take such along. They must also know what is needful in that regard and do exactly that.  To experience any form of advancement in life, you must be ready to take chances. You must take a stance to improve on yourself on a daily basis and stay committed to your decision come what may. This might require of you to cut off somethings and some people from your life. It might also require of you to cultivate some attitudes and call in some people.  Let's share some few thoughts on that.  If your quest is to make a shift and experience a lift in life, you might want to do the following; Shift: Our mentality influences our reality. We live life inside out. Mostly, the reality we face precipitates from the mentality we have had over the years. And so you ...
