  Who are you, and what are you? Your friends and enemies, who are they? We eat the same food, breathe the same air, and walk the same earth. But do we truly know ourselves? Have you taken a moment to question the kind of person you are?   Are you sincere, or are you just pretending? Do you forgive truly, or do you hold on to grudges? Do you love genuinely, or do you only give when it benefits you? Do you stand by your words, or do you change with the wind? Self-awareness is the foundation of values, it is the mirror that reveals who we really are.   Men only see what we let out, but deep down, even if we deceive the world, we know the truth. We can't lie to ourselves.   Do you serve people? Do you give back to the world, or are you just a consumer? Have you locked yourself in, clinging to all you’ve been blessed with, or do you use your wisdom to uplift others? These are the questions we must ask ourselves.   People may praise you, but deep ...

  Happy new week my dear friends, it brings me so much joy to discuss a topic of interest with you today, discouragement is a general challenge, and we all face it at one point or the other, but it isn't something that should overwhelm us.  Life is filled with uncertainty, disappointments, and moments that test our strength. Sometimes, people don’t want us to grow, and other times, our own efforts seem fruitless. It’s easy to feel discouraged, but setbacks are not the end, only a phase that will pass.   Instead of dwelling on frustration, focus on solutions. Life’s challenges are inevitable, but they are not meant to break us. Control what you can, your mindset, actions, and reactions, while letting go of what is beyond you. When overwhelmed, rest your mind. Sleep, breathe, and recharge because clarity often comes in moments of peace.   Helping others can also bring healing. A small act of kindness, like reaching out to someone in need, starting a reading c...

  Happy new week, my dear friend. I'm so happy to write to you today. The year is passing day by day, and we've walked together this far, more by the grace of God. Today, I'll be talking about a question that we often ask ourselves, especially in times of despair. We begin to question what life is really about. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, "Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." This means that we can live any life we hope for, as long as we are ready to create it. You need to be prepared to do your best, calmly plan, and execute. You have to condition your mind and spirit in a positive direction, trust God, and hold on to the spirit of not quitting. A lot of people are going through more than we are, yet they do not let it become a challenge; instead, they handle it with grace. That should be the kind of person we strive to be. There were times when I had these feelings, even while growing up, and especially when I lost my hu...

My dear friends, happy new month, I'm happy that I am alive to write, and that you are also alive to read. All glory to God. Today, I'll be talking about "Working with purpose". In life, most failures are not as a result of people not working hard, or insufficient efforts, most times its just the lack of purpose and direction. John F Kennedy once said "Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction" it comes to tell you how important it is to be intentional with efforts. Of what purpose is it to fetch water in a basket?!  As we advance in 2025, we need to understand the place of purpose and direction, to achieve success, there should be a purpose for every of our actions, a direction for our life, an expected result for each steps we take, this is how to succeed. Every successful person works with purpose. When you read a book, you should have an expectation, something you intend to learn from it, the movies we watch, even the songs we lis...
