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💜.

On Comparison: What Reliance isn't seeing.

So what is it? RELIANCE : I've not been feeling so fine lately. My health has been deteriorating without mercy. Of recent, I've had to visit the hospital twice for tests, to reassure myself that I'm not actually a sickler. VALERIE : Okayyyy...your OCD won this time around. RELIANCE : Stop it. You would have done the same if you were in my shoes. VALERIE : Oya now, no vex ma. RELIANCE : See ehn, that is not even my issue. So many things have been on my mind lately. VALERIE: (Sitting up) Hmmmm...Do you mind sharing? RELIANCE : Not really. Errhm...do you remember Ola? The girl we used to call smallie dah year? VALERIE: (Thinking aloud) Smallie...Ola...who...wait, wait, the one from our secondary school? RELIANCE : Ehen!( claps her hand)...I saw her. VALERIE : (Brightens up her eyes, and begins to smile) Oh my God..where? How was she looking? Where does she live? RELIANCE : Calm down madam...abi, I should leave you to do the talking? VALERIE : Sorry oo..Oya, I...

KEYS TO A HAPPY LIFE 2.

KEYS TO A HAPPY LIFE. So friend, picking up from where we left off, here are the remaining tips I thought to share with you. Let's ride!🏄‍♂️ • ENCOURAGE OTHERS: Everyday, we meet weak people. We see persons struggling with the level we scaled years before. We come across persons fighting battles we fought and overcame a long time ago. In our classrooms, on social media, in our areas of interest or career, and just everywhere. You remember how hard it was for you trying to start out?. Or maybe yours was bliss at the beginning. Yeah, it happens. You had no stress starting out. Probably, you were surrounded by the right persons, or you were just blessed. That’s a very nice one. You're one of the very few, and I am happy for you🙌. However, that person b...

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...

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...

Catering for our differences.

WE ARE ONE. Back then in secondary school, a lot of things mattered. I used to be among the "pens with tiny mouth" lovers. (And I still am😌). I never used to like writing with any pen that had a fat tip. If I got a new note, or had to write something at my convenience, I always used a pen with a tiny mouth. Lucky corer was my favourite then. When writing exams, I wouldn't dare go in with a big "mouth biro". I had my reasons then. Since writing with fat tip pen was never my choice, somehow, it always affected my mood, and my handwriting too. I noticed if I used any "big mouth biro", instead of concentrating while writing, I'll be busy bemoaning my handwriting, and cursing whatever situation that made me use that pen in the first place. Because of this, while coming from home for a new term, I usually buy my biros and come with the...

Keeping the You alive.

Flowers, green grasses, and small clusters everywhere. It's an animal kingdom. A goat meets a fish, and they become friends. They come together, and discover their variances, as regards their way of living, habitat and all. Then one day, the goat begins to tell the fish, that if they must remain friends, the fish has to leave its own habitat, and come stay with the goat on land. What do you think would happen if the fish, which is cut out to live in water, decides to please her friend the goat, and come to stay on land? Your guess is as good as mine. In the above illustration, the goat, and the fish were the focus....In today's illustration, you are our focus. Your life is made up of dreams, values, beliefs, aspirations. Though some of yours could look like ...

For today only.

Friend!...Happy new month to you🤗. Trust you have been good. Well, I am writing to you today about something on my mind. Do you ever feel like you have gotten past the point of making wrong decisions in a certain area of your life, and then boom, just one day after you have certified yourself, you make a major disastrous decision? I am with you on this one😩. Here is the thing. Up until yesterday, I still did things which I am not proud of today. And yes, if you check it out, you will discover it is the same with you. One moment, you think you have a grip over everything, and the next moment, you are losing it all helplessly. The truth is, you have very limited control. Limited foresight too. So, despite everything, you can only be so careful, you cannot be so certain. And that is what gives birth to this message: Do not, in a bid to avoid stepping on stones, refuse to walk. Do not decide not to explore, just because you are scared. Do not leav...
