What are you saying??

So, right from when I was very much younger, I used to hear my mom say "Go and sit down, they are too small" or even "you're too small"(referring to me now). She uses it whenever you come with some kind of threatening news or something. It is not like you asked for her opinion on how small they are or anything, she just says it out of reflex, and because that is what she believes. That issue is too small to be the one to disrupt her peace. Sometimes, she follows it up with.."Do you even know who you are??" Or "Do you still remember the God we serve??". I have not told her yet, but that phrase made me smile always, and gave me the calm I needed for the moment. It boosted my faith many a time, and it still does.
I have had the opportunity to converse with many persons, literate and illiterate, believers and unbelievers, leaders and followers alike, and I have come to know, that it is not based one's status or whatever. Instead, it is a function of how well you have worked on your mind.
Yes, this is something I picked from church, and under leadership trainings, but this is not limited to believers or leaders. It should be a part of everyone's everyday life.

Here is the point we have been walking towards...CONFESS POSITIVELY ALWAYS.

What are you saying to yourself on a daily??

Your confessions are 90% negative, and you think it goes unnoticed by all the forces there are in this world?

See..declare your success with your mouth. Normalize saying "I am rich", because, yes you are. Tell your friends around, and anybody that cares to listen, that this situation is too small to frustrate me". Say all sorts of nice things to your mirror. You deserve that, and more.

Here is the thing:
How upbeat you are about something, affects the rest of us. Give us a reason to go the extra mile.

One thing that does it for me, is declaring immediately. Never give anything negative, so much time to eat deeply into you. Apply conscious and intentional effort. As soon as you get a destabilizing news, say "It is well". You can go further, and declare more peace. You are not blabbing. You are saying things that will definitely happen.

As a leader, what do you say to the hearing of your team??
Even if you have your fears within, what you show them, affects them.

Let them see your positivity, let them see your resilience. It is on your faith, that they will build theirs.

Finally, in all your believings, believe in yourself. No one will do it for you, and even those who do so, will someday tire out, if there is no encouragement coming from your end.

Your energy is contagious. Go all out with it, and watch it spread💥.

Thank you for coming around today. Welcome to a new lifestyle filled with so much positive energy. You are changing for good. Till we meet again, take care and be outstanding. Your favourite writer, Joy💜.

Negative thoughts and you.

First it is worry, then it turns to doubt.... Some days ago, I had an issue with someone. It was not a fall out, or anything big actually, just one of these harsh statements by individuals, that pierce through and through, and make you wonder if some things are actually worth the stress. So, almost immediately after that took place, I began to worry so deeply. I was almost drifting off..., but then I remembered something. Something which made me stop dead in my tracks to depression. My mind went to something, and I realized that I had almost crossed the boundary. I realized I was going to be doubting my abilities soonest, so, like a reflex, I took the necessary actions. In no time, my joy was back, and all of those thoughts discarded😊. Most of us are familiar with Dunsin Oyekan's song that says..." first it was fragrance, then it turned to fi...

Triumph over pressure.

Hiiiiii.. Welcome, and thank you for coming again🤗. So, it is about pressure today, because the effects that come from giving in to pressure, multiply as the days go by. Worse still, the persons who make it a duty to pump tons and tons of pressure into this world space are not reducing either. Just look around you. Everywhere is so busy, and sometimes, it may seem like you are merely a spectator, standing by, and watching everyone else do the big things. Maybe in just one aspect of life, maybe in many others. Yes, we get them everyday. Especially everywhere on social media. Most of the times, it would look like the train of achievement is packed with people, and moving already, leaving just you behind. Hi again, here is from me to you: Pick challenges, but leave pressure out of the entire equation. You know that beautiful thing which you are building, keep at it. One thing you should know is this, our stories are different. Some per...

Discipline.

Hi there. Welcome back!🤗 Trust you have been good? Today, you would be learning something really crucial to your development as a person, and that is the art of discipline. Sincerely and soberly, How high have you been holding up your head in this area? Have you been taking charge of your responsibilities, or have they been making a mess of you? Well, by God's grace, you would stay in charge from today onwards. _____________________________________________

A truth in time, saves lives.

Make a mental scene of you, telling a lie about something to someone. After some time, you're now asked to reiterate or defend it before a large number of persons, and you do so, to save face. Next up, people have adopted the lie, and expect to see your life in that light. Let's just say this is the point where you decide you're not returning back on your words. Somehow, you forge ahead. However, as much as you dreaded it, you finally get to that point where you can't keep up any more. You come face to face with your fears, and end up in a fix. Pretty bad, innit? Most of the times, you either just sideline that life with no explanations, or you take the bold step of having to go back and tell everyone the truth. Thing is this. Why go through all of that in the first place?? One of the new year resolutions I made, is to be truthful to myself and others, come what may. Reason?? For all that there is. Yes...

The Limit of your Goodness.

TILL YOUR SHADOWS STOP SHOWING UP... I too, face this issue everytime…Fredrick has been getting on my nerves lately. His own was now too much. All I badly craved now was to pour venom on him..through words, or even literally. Rebecca is nothing close to grateful, and never takes note of any good I do, and I just want to scream my grievance into her face one day, and stop myself from doing good anywhere around her. And then I keep asking,"when do I stop being good?, When is the right time to strike these persons with the fact that I also have a bad side, and I’m not made with goodness all around? Which time is the best for revenge or total back-off?. Well then, here's the answer you may not want to hear, but need..." Till your shadows stop showing up ".☺️ ...

Overcoming anger.

You're way too big! Just one click, and you’re pissed off already...One reaction, and you’ve been taken off the hook....One word, and you’re swept off your feet. This is just one though. Let’s assume you didn’t yield. Probably, you’re a bit stronger. However, sometimes it could be more. Your contenders may decide to take it a bit further. They give you in more doses, and how does it turn out? You get fed up, and, next thing, you blow up. You take everything and everyone down. Whichever scenario it is, why let them take the glory all the time? Why let them beat you hands down? Why let them push you to the wall?? Why let them get you annoyed?? Why let them drive you insane? And in just a minute more, you’...

Back to the drawing board.

So, sometime ago, I was reading the Bible, and I came across that part that says..."swear not, neither by heaven..." Then I remembered that while growing up, we were always told this in the children church. And to think that somewhere along the line, I had started swearing as a way of emphasis during conversations. Yeah, I had to talk to myself afresh that day. This aside, there are countless number of times I've had to revisit my actions, by just making a reference to where the decision was first hewn out from. Just the way it is. We sometimes kick off a project with so much enthusiasm, that even though we have a written blueprint, we make a mental picture of what we already have written out, turn it into a compass, and boom, off we go! No looking back, no reference, no nothing. We just trust ourselves with all of ourselves. Well, truth is, nothing bad in trusting ourselves. The problem just arises when we miss the whole essence of the project, or whatever. Most times...

Happy new year!🤗🤗

Pheew. First blogpost in the year 2021. Yeah, the window blinds are only slightly open, and the image of the house contents are still blurry. But, we move regardless!. I'll apologize at this point. Towards the end of last year, I had my hands full, and worse still, all of it came at almost the same time, and left me with no time to set my priorities all up. I'm really sorry to have starved this place, and I hope you forgive me. Intentionally, 2021 is bringing balance, and you'll always be meeting me here every first ,and third Saturday of the month. God help both of us. Amen? Amen🤩 So, how have you been? How has your first week in 2021 been like? Quiet?, full of decision taking?, Just vibes?, Or have you made that one mistake you said you wanted to avoid all through the year, and now you wish we could restart all over again?😅💁 Whichever yours is, we still keep moving. Ahead😊. Well, in this year, and beyond, there's something you'll be needing to do away with....

YOUTIME!
