Sincerely, growing up is not all fun and games as earlier envisioned... I mean, thought I will grow up, do whatever it is I wanted, go out when I wanted, have all the money in the world (lol) you can imagine my shock when I graduated. I had an expectation of where I wanted to work, what my earnings would look like and of course it wasn’t a small figure, jokes on me now. The thing is, I wasn’t ready for these responsibilities but they came anyway. The days of serial brokenness (if there is a word like that), when I don’t feel like seeing the sun and I doubted my relevance all befell me. But by now, you can totally relate to this if you are in your adolescence or adult phase but the truth is no-one was given a guideline on how to handle these things because we have our unique experiences and what sets you apart is how gracefully you handle these loads of responsibilities coming your way. One thing is vital, “Preparation”.  being on this adolescence rol...

A fight cannot occur without two angry people, you don’t have to be the angry one. You can sway bad energy with good.     Here are a few easy steps to revert   attitude...

Employ people that are right for the job not people that look right for the job, having the wrong people can cost you a lot, it is advisable to train personnel’s after recruiting them.

I mean, I have been there before, I will start a project and leave it half way just to scroll my Instagram feeds, watch a movie or read a book. A project that should take a day or two to finish will take me weeks. Don’t judge me, I have changed.   Attention management is an art; you have to be deliberate in practicing it. Well, what is attention management?   It is the practice of controlling distractions, being present in the moment and maximizing focus so you can un...

"FOR UNTO EVERYONE THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT WHICH HE HATH." -Matthew 25:29 When I was younger I marveled at the unfairness of the verse above, until I came to understand the true meaning. What you do with what you have been given determines what you will be given.   Expecting more when you haven't utilized what you have already is futile. So you can go on and on about how tomorrow will be better and how great you'll be in the future but as long as you're not doing enough to facilitate that future you'll continuously tell yourself the same thing until one day you realize you're living in the future and it's not as grand as you expected it to be. This is why you must push yourself today to do better than you did yesterday, only the mediocre are always at their best. Striving towards excellence should be the goal at all times and in all situations. It is import...
