On this day, women's accomplishments are celebrated regardless of a person's country, ethnicity, language, culture, economic status, or political affiliation. I hope that every woman has the chance to be the best version of herself and reach her full potential.    Celebrating our women's accomplishments on this day transcends all barriers. She has been painstakingly designed to bring into existence all that she and her loved ones could ever hope for. Instead of going with the flow, she enthrals and inspires others to do the same; she is beautiful and a trailblazer who believes in herself and her abilities. May every lady be blessed with the chance to reach her full potential and experience immense success. I pray that strong, compassionate, and empathetic women will keep taking the lead and improving the world.  I wish you all a fabulous and wonderful Women's Day.

 Hi Friend, It is almost getting to the end of a season called 2023 and many are currently taking stock of how the year went. For some, they had many wins, they celebrated, while others, are in a state of gloominess over too many losses they think they recorded. I am sorry to hear that you didn't close the deal, buy the house, get to make the changes and change the trajectory of your life within the time frame you set for yourself but have you ever stop to think that it is not over until it is over? They could be many reasons why it didn't work as planned and you have two options to consider; 1. To either look into the origin of the issue so you can resolve it, learn from it so you can proceed with caution, and instruct others  2. Alternatively, you can choose to reside in a temporary dwelling of self-pity and indulge in sorrow over your losses.  Having a RESPONSE ready is essential for handling life's inevitable challenges. 'But how can I do that?' I can hear you s...

Hi Peeps, Some people think subtractive is bad since it sounds like the inverse of addition. Attempting to discover what works for you may be really daunting, and if you're not cautious, you might end up taking on too much because you feel like you're not getting enough done. Feeling overwhelmed is normal; the key is to find a way to cope with it before it gets the best of you. A flood of information regarding what to do next, when to do it, how to do it, and what to do that will work better and provide more results might overwhelm someone who is unclear of what to do next.  When we feel like we're falling short of our goals, our first instinct is to take on additional work. However, the real problem might be that we're already juggling too much. In this case, a subtractive mindset is required to discover ways to liberate resources and channel them in a direction that yields better outcomes.  Weighing your remaining activities, you'll need to decide which ones to cu...

  Hi there,  I am excited to come your way again today. I hope this will help a handful of people. You must understand that in life, many things contend for your time and space, and sometimes, no matter how hard you try to keep focus it seems as if you are losing it. I will like to share one of the filtering systems l use to block unwanted contenders. Sometimes the contenders are needed to keep you on track but other times you must learn to deny the contenders access to your space because it could be really exhausting to try to keep a destiny on track and also, deal with the contenders. The same thing that is a blessing could cause you pain if you don't set boundaries. Some of the benefits of filters when activated are: Your filters will sieve through everything and everyone that tries to gain access to your space It acts as a red flag to notify you of an unwanted guest It helps you verify processes, procedures, and even relationships to ascertain the optimum alignment  I...

  Every day life gives us the opportunity to learn but the decision lies with you to get the lesson or not.  I would always say perspective is the lenses you see the world through. If your perspective is wrong, your worldview will be dwarfed but if your perspective is right, then you can be rest assured that your lofty dreams will be envisioned correctly. I know it could be challenging to share the little you have but l need you to know that it will make a difference in someone's life.  Let me share a little story l heard, walk with me; Once upon a time, there was a man named John who believed that life was fair. He had grown up in a loving family, had a good education, and landed a well-paying job. John thought he had it all figured out. But then, life threw him a curveball. His company downsized, and John lost his job. He searched for months for a new job, but no one seemed interested in hiring him. His savings dwindled, and he struggled to pay his bills. One day, John ...

  I was born into a family of 10 and had a mum who was so special to me and she was very industrious. She was adorable and had a heart of gold. She went into different business ventures and they all yielded results but one vocation took most of her time as she had people running the other ones on her behalf; she was a good farmer and almost settled for farming as the produce helped a lot in the house. This was the part l didn’t quite enjoy because we all would have to accompany her to the farm. So during holidays and most weekends we had farming activities to do. I felt l was trapped with this part of her life which she enjoyed doing and had found a way to pull all of us; the children into it. Most times, some of the crops where eaten up by some creatures because we had lots of farmland and before we could visit every one of them during the harvesting season, the predators would have feasted on some of them already. Oftentimes we find ourselves being pulled into what seem to be a...

Hello Friends, Happy New Week! We live in a world where everything and everyone around us are contesting for our time. With the advent of digital globalization, almost everything is automated and digital. Innovation is at top gear and things are evolving. Methodologies have changed and everyone is on the fast lane. The world is now a global village as physical activities have collapsed into technology. There is information overload which makes it very easy for many to become overwhelmed. Sadly, this change that we are experiencing has sentenced many people to a life of captivity, while other have found a way to optimize it. I sat next to a young boy in church this past Sunday and he tugged his head down looking at his phone almost all through the service. He was engrossed with what he was watching on his phone and when he was tired, he slept off. I am not sure he was able to follow through with all that was going on in church. This generation is exposed to the danger that comes w...

In life, we have lots of people going through losses daily. We lost money, opportunities, favours, friends relationship etc. Many factors contribute to these losses in people’s lives and this gradually erodes the walls of their resilience, perseverance and even their confidence. When your content is tampered with, your identity is compromised and your strength becomes reduced because your identity fuels your strength, your confidence and resilience.   The economy is causing cracks to people's pockets, the news is cracking people's emotions, the uncertainty is cracking people's faith in God and in themselves and these cracks are causing leakages to the reservoir of the quality of life you ought to live, your health and wholeness, confidence and courage, your emotional state.   Cracking is a common damage caused by stress in a material that can easily be exaggerated by other factors, including corrosion, fatigue, high pressure, and material of construction. Human ...

People say that if you want to go fast, you can go alone, but if you want to go far, you need to go with others. This is a major difference between shared thinking and solo-thinking. Have you ever seen someone who started a project alone and took it to conclusion alone? In Shared Thinking, you recruit other people whose thoughts will help you go far with your endeavours and you join forces with them. You don't do solo thinking to go far. Most times, actually, in these fast-paced days, you need to be able to collaborate with other good thinkers to be able to have quick results. 3 key Differences between Shared Thinking and Solo-thinking Shared thinking is good for innovation. Innovative thinking always utilizes shared thinking and not solo-thinking. Note also that Shared thinking breeds maturity. When you are able to hook up with what another person has done, you grow in maturity. Other people's experience will make it easier than you trying to get the experience first-han...

Possibility Thinking is allowing yourself to think possibilities, moving away from the given into thinking “this can happen”. It is where you choose to think possibility despite facts. Take for example, you could be tempted to reason that your life will reflect the tough economy in your part of the country. It could be true that the obstacles and harsh conditions are present and staring you in the face; but ‘Possibility Thinking’ is your tool to break through. Remember Myles Munroe’s words; “the future you are looking for is trapped on your inside”. So, despite the situation around you, there is a tool within you for breaking out. One of the tools God has given to us is your mind; you need to know how to engage it during crisis. This is what ‘Possibility thinking’ is about. Now, according to John Maxwell, “Possibility Thinking” is a way to see possibilities everywhere instead of limitations. Read this: To be a possibility thinker, you must learn to be comfortable with failure. ...
