  Hi, I’m Sam,   "I am one with my body, spirit and soul and I am attentive to my being" Paying rapt attention is very important in everything we do. A lot of us have mastered the art of paying attention to a lot of things except for ourselves. It doesn't take so much to pay attention to our bodies and feelings but at the same time, it’s not also an easy thing to do.  

  Hi, I’m Sam, Read Part 1 For someone whose coping mechanism is to suppress emotion, I didn’t know any other way and never thought any other thing would work for me. As I tried to tie up some loose ends I kept having the urge to find answers to how I was feeling but how did I think I would be able to find the answers if I didn’t unpack and try to make sense of my feelings? Somehow I really felt like unpacking for me was a sign of weakness and bitching and I didn’t want to come off that way to anyone, most especially to myself.  

Hi, I’m Sam, Every living thing is made up of something tangible. Humans are made up of things outside our biological makeup. Our knowledge, learnings, desires, wishes, surroundings, and experiences. As a result of all these, no two humans are completely the same and as such cannot understand another person even if you experience the same thing.  

Hi, I'm Sam, We are living in an era of multiple eras happening all at once. We have so much to do and achieve that sometimes it’s ok to be selfish with your time but we still need to be intentional in coming through for the real ones in our lives whenever they need us because the truth is, we will also need them from time to time. Putting someone first or being intentional with someone in your life only works when you're in their top 5. You can waste care, love, genuine intentions, and sacrifice on someone who has no regard and probably won't do the same for you if the role or tables were turned. This is not promoting the attitude of being good or doing things because of what we stand to gain but the intuition to know where to plant and nurture to stay away from wasted efforts
