Salvation comes when you learn to let go at the proper time.

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? Refusing to let go is the virus behind most heartbreaks. When your sense of feeling overrides your judgement, hurt is the result. Learn to let go of that relationship that isn't fulfilling. It won't get better. Yes, he's been good, but it's the end. Yes, she's been good, but it's the end....

When Love Meets a Busy Season

By: Chris Keiliks Sometimes the greatest test of a relationship isn't betrayal, jealousy or a major disagreement. Sometimes, it is simply life. One person has an important examination. Another has work, responsibilities, ambitions and an emotional need to remain connected. Suddenly, the person who used to respond quickly now takes hours—or sometimes days—to reply. And this is where maturity becomes visible....

May We Stand Apart (Poem)

May you and I stand apart,Not by pride, but by the light we carry.May we be counted among thoseWho heal the world instead of hurting it. May our hands build and never break,May our words lift and never wound.May we protect and never exploit,May we give hope instead of fear. May we walk unashamed before our God,...

Comparing Ghana cedis to US dollars without considering exchange rates

What’s the funniest misunderstanding you’ve ever been part of? I was in high school when a debate split my class into two camps. One group insisted that the Ghana cedi was equal in value to the US dollar, while the other argued just as passionately that it wasn't. As ignorant as we were, we defended our positions with absolute confidence....

What are you most proud of in your life? There’s a kind of pride that doesn’t shout. It doesn’t come from standing on a stage or hearing applause—it comes quietly, almost sacredly, when you look back and realize how far you’ve come. That’s the kind of pride I felt when I held my book, The Alumnus’ Advice, in my hands for the first time....

Have you ever felt like there’s so much greatness inside you, but life seems to be moving at a frustratingly slow pace? Like you carry potential that the world hasn’t yet seen, but the results you expect take too long to show up? This feeling can be both inspiring and discouraging—knowing you’re capable of more, yet wondering why your growth feels delayed....

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. It was one of the difficult weeks because I had very little money to live by. The days were still far from my next payday and all I could think of was to prepare a delicious Ghanaian banku and okra stew with the little money I had. I remember coming back from the market with all the groceries I will need....

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? Imagine a world where there's no disappointment, loggerheads, pains, frustration, turmoil, anguish, insults, deceit, many to mention but few. Imagine a world where there's always joy, laughter, unbroken trust, love, friendship, and beauty. Just imagine. Chaos spread because people offend people. Where there's no offense, there is no need to say sorry....

In life, our relationships are often tested—not by grand betrayals, but by simple misunderstandings, assumptions, and words spoken in frustration. Recently, I came across a conversation between two friends—let’s call them Daniel and Miriam—that beautifully illustrates the fragile yet resilient nature of human connections. The dialogue began with Daniel expressing a desire to meet Miriam again. Miriam, however, seemed distant and uninterested....

Why do you blog? Blogging is not just about finding words and sharing words. It's about the impact, expressions of inspiration, and the inexpressible joy of expressing oneself. I blog because it's needful. I blog because I deserve to be heard. I blog because I have the revelation, the inspiration, and the word that someone needs. I blog because I blog....
