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💜.

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...

About this blog.

I mean...who doesn't like company??             That trashed, let's look the way of the blog. What is it all about? Why did I decide to write? For fun, education, information, communication, or what have you?..You can guess all day long, but let me save you the stress. My purpose of owning a blog, cuts across all those purposes I earlier mentioned, and more. Sounds like a brag,right?...Okay, let me cool you down with this...you are the main  reason why I am blogging today. Trust me if you were not there, I wouldn't dare. I'm writing just for you!💝            Let me not spill the whole bean...

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...

How do you see humble beginnings??

             Frame It!!!....The best days are close already.           One day in my life, a long time after I had left secondary school, I was going through my school box, and lazily looking through all the last set of books I used during secondary school. Then I stumbled upon them. My different Journals and letters. The letters included those that were written to me, and those I failed to give out, due to lack of courage or any other reason. Boom! I sat down there and began to read. I've always loved reminiscence and reading with all my heart. So, I seamlessly spent quite sometime on that spot, reading those stuff, and trust me, I had a swell time. I laughed so hard, and I pinched myself at  different times. I am sure, you can guess the reason by now. Damn!...I felt stupefied and really surprised. For the letters I wrote, I kept on asking no one in particular..."Did I ever draft this?", "Like, Who does this? For those ...

You are unstoppable.

          This space has been less busy for a while now. So many things happening at the same time. My apologies.            So, what is it you've been going through lately?            Have you been having some hard time, or maybe hitting rough phases, facing obstacles, or meeting bad energies at almost every corner?             Let me share this with you.             Never see reasons to quit yet.             Whatever tunnel it is you are going through, it's just a phase. It will definitely pass. That I'm sure of. It is the exact time I'm clueless about.             Another thing is this, you're never in it alone.  There is hardly any person around who really doesn't have an issue which he/she is battling with. In clearer terms, you're better off than a whole lot of persons. Your...

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...
