Adewale SodiqPublished 8 months ago in MotivationLove or Faith?
I've got really no patience with things I've to be and this is how my journey and experience with her begins. She is wonderful, no doubt. But I always had trust issue with peoples, time and even with gods. A stupid thing it is but I loose faith easily. I don't know it was my foolishness or my stupidity or might have my mind be overthinking that I thought of my life being always so tough and all that or anyone would want/wish for is to get rid of all things but as I had no patience, I wanted it to be best overnight which was never possible or say easy. I tried different things, worshipped almost every god & goddess and yet it didn't work out. I worshipped Krishna, Bishnu, Shiv, Durga, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Tara (Boudha), Surya, Chandra, Allah, Kuber, Ganesh & you could say all the gods/goddess.

Letícia de SáPublished 8 months ago in MotivationThe Tale of Revenge and Redemption:
In the world of tales and adventures, there is a story that combines the elements of youthful revenge, unexpected friendship, and the power of redemption. It's a story that revolves around a family's fall from grace and their quest for justice. This is the story of Armani and her twin brother Mikhail. Growing up, Armani and her twin brother Michaela had lived a life most could only dream of. Raised by their single dad, they resided in a mansion that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. Every luxury was at their fingertips - the coolest toys, the finest clothes, extravagant meals, and epic birthday parties. Their idyllic life was made possible by their father's high-ranking job at Lewis Industries, a prominent company where he worked tirelessly to give his children the best life imaginable. Everything was perfect until one fateful day in high school when their dad delivered shocking news. Their world crumbled as they learned that their father had been unjustly fired by his boss, Mr. Lewis. To make matters worse, Mr. Lewis had seized all their assets, leaving them financially devastated. Seeing their father's tears shattered Armani's heart, but it also ignited a fiery rage within her. She vowed to make Mr. Lewis pay for the pain he had inflicted upon them and reclaim what he had stolen. Overnight, they moved from their opulent mansion to a humble apartment, and life was never the same. Armani's determination to seek revenge led her to a daring plan. Her brother Mikhail, equally committed to helping their father, received a scholarship offer to a prestigious school. This school could open doors to a brighter future, but Mikhail was torn. He believed he needed to support their father immediately, but Armani saw an opportunity for revenge. The school, as it turned out, was attended by Mr. Lewis's son, Peter. Armani devised a bold plan: she would attend the school in her brother's place, disguised as a boy. Mikhail was initially against the idea, but Armani persuaded him, emphasizing the need for vengeance. The transformation from Armani to Mikhail began with adopting bro vocabulary, the bro walk, fist bumps, and adhering to the dude dress code. After intense training, a wig, and a week of practice, Armani was ready for her new identity. The first day at school seemed manageable, but Armani soon found herself struggling with her deep voice, stiff walk, and a desperate need for the restroom. Her quest for a clean bathroom led her to a surprising encounter. She stumbled upon a fellow student being bullied by some classmates. Armani, now posing as Mikhail, intervened, using wit and humor to defuse the situation. In the process, she met Peter Lewis, Mr. Lewis's son. As Armani continued her charade, she spent more time with Peter. She discovered he was a sweet and genuine person, which made her feel guilty about deceiving him. As their friendship blossomed, Armani couldn't help but develop feelings for Peter. Armani's secret life as Mikhail took a twist when Josh, a fellow student, discovered her true identity. Josh demanded money to keep her secret safe, leading Armani into a dilemma. She realized her actions were spiraling out of control, endangering her relationship with Peter and her own sense of morality. An opportunity for revenge presented itself when Josh invited Peter and Armani to his party. Armani planned to break into Mr. Lewis's office during the event to uncover evidence of his wrongdoings. However, her plan went awry when Josh exposed her true identity at the party. Following the party debacle, Armani confessed her actions to her father and Mikhail. Their father, consumed by guilt, revealed his own dark secret: he had stolen money from Mr. Lewis, a decision he deeply regretted. Mr. Lewis had shown mercy and chose not to press charges. Devastated by their actions, Armani and Mikhail reconciled with their father, acknowledging his remorse and the importance of forgiveness. Armani sought to make amends with Peter, writing him a heartfelt letter expressing her regret and longing for forgiveness. Weeks later, Armani received a surprise visit from Peter, who had read her letter and was willing to forgive her. The two decided to cherish their friendship despite Armani's past actions. As the family prepared to start a new life in a different town, Armani learned the importance of forgiveness, redemption, and the strength of family bonds. She had embarked on a journey fueled by revenge but found herself on a path of personal growth and understanding. In the end, Armani discovered that while revenge might seem enticing, the power of redemption and forgiveness is far more rewarding. Life had taught her valuable lessons, and she was ready to face the future with a newfound sense of wisdom.
