The New Adults

Consistency is the key to success. Jumping from one thing to another puts us at stage 1 of everything. Consistency has always been my major problem. Consistency in my service unit, relating with new friends, business, projects, resolutions, relationship with God etc. I am the type that gets pumped with energy, great possibilities at the beginning but with increasing challenges along the way my vibe drops and I remember why I started but the reasons losses importance to me as I continue. I started a new habit of waking up by 6am going out to listen to the word, meditate, praise God, exercise and plan for the day for an hour. I did it for two weeks with great results but I started having problems with sleeping early and then rain was always falling this made me relent. Now I’m like not again!!!!!!! The major reason why I became inconsistent was that I did not remind myself of the purpose I started in the first place. I wanted each day to be used wisely and that morning ritual was meant t

Conflicts are inevitable in life and can have positive impact on the individuals if done right. Recently, I got involved in an argument where someone made a statement about authority in male and female relationships and I was upset. I could have avoided saying anything but the statement triggered me and I choose to respond even though I tried my best to remain respectful of his opinions while stating mine I failed at my initial goal which was to give him a reason to change his perspective. Days following this conflict, I kept thinking of why his opinion said innocently will read several meanings to people of different backgrounds and experiences. My book for the month is The Richest Man that ever lived and in chapter 9 which talks about Solomon’s steps to winning conflicts and overcoming adversity. The steps from this book has shown me where I did wrong and ways to improve. • Understand the purpose or goal of conflict – conflict is meant to help attain the best results and help all i

Going to the university is such a big deal that we organize family meetings, go through university brochures trying to find the course that fits us most. To be a lawyer, you must like arguing, engineer: you must be good in maths, theatre arts: you must have been in your school drama club, journalism: you must be a good speaker. All these are amazing but there are simple ways to know the course you must study but before I suggest the best ways to discover your course of study, let me share my experience. In my head, I’ve always been jack of all trades so I wanted to be a doctor simply because I cleaned my injuries, economist because I found out I liked taking care of money, cosmetologist because it made everyone I told look at me with respect, engineer because I repaired the TV and an antenna once but to be serious technical drawing wearied my soul and physics made me sick  and then one day in ss2 after practising physics for hours without getting the answer. I thought to myself, I cant

An important attribute of a person is their memories. The ability to remember events, words, people encounters, and fragrances is so essential,that when lost, we conclude that the individual will be unable to live to their full potential. As important as making new memories is to our lives, deleting the ones that serve as garbage to our minds, is of great necessity. I used to be a walking encyclopedia for the harms done to me. It was a prized possession, it gave me enough reasons to cry when I felt down, enough reasons that I had every right to be pitied and given attention. In my head I was like, “you don’t know what they’ve done to me” but the truth was that I did not know the damage I was doing to myself. The Lord’s prayers says; “...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…” Imagine yourself as a phone with 64GB of storage. You would agree with me when the storage is full, the phone becomes:  • Slow • Overheats • Cannot accommodate new and imp

Today we are talking about savings and God knows that I’m still a learner. Quick Back Story I used to save diligently when I was younger in bags, containers and with my mom( greatest mistake ). But I got frustrated because one particular sibling of mine was always stealing my savings, and some will borrow money from me and will not pay back. I can never forget when my elder sister borrowed 65 naira from me and refused to pay back (I mourned that money for days). It’s a laughing matter now but then I wasn’t smiling.  There was also a time I forgot 170 naira in my primary school and I walked back to school, it was more than a 30 minutes journey. All these occurrences made me discouraged and the discipline to save left me. I got into the university and because I wanted to have so much savings, I would save amounts that made me lose weight because I wasn’t eating.  And also I always had issues with helping people out with money because I would do it at my own detriment at the end of the da
