The New Adults

19th  January …an alarm that reminds me that time waits for no man. Sometimes I dread the day, sometimes I’m excited. This year, I’m  at peace, simply because I have no ounce of pressure on myself. I always tell God “This year,it’s me and you oo” I just want to learn more of God and myself. I have no regrets, I’m not sad because of anything I have failed at so its really like I am taking no baggage into the new age I feel light and free.  I’m graduating this year and the bills associated with adulthood are already waiting for me, at least at the end of this year, they would come with full force. Funny enough I have no  fear at the moment, tomorrow or something other time, I would get scared but deep down I trust God. I want to be independent of my parents but fully dependent on the one that owns silver and gold. I mean God gat me. So with this I enter into a new decade of my life in a few days with confidence that the year would be amazing. I am so grateful, you graced my blog with you

To be honest, blogging is something really foreign to me. I used to love writing fiction but it has become one of the things I am uncertain about. You know when you like something but you doubt if you have the strength to be consistent at it but your reason for loving it is certain. Consistency is extremely important to me and whatever I do has to be sustainable. You become like this when legacy has stayed in your subconscious till it begins to rule your decisions. My friend and sister asked me “How far your blogging?” and to be honest I had no clear answer. Amongst all my excuses, the foundation of the decision was” I really hate being inconsistent especially when I miss  deadlines making it obvious . I decided to continue blogging “why?” because this blog is called new adults and I don’t think I am the only one struggling with being  consistent with personal goals so I’ll keep writing even when there is no ginger,when I do not deliver on time because if I quit I will never learn cons

When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. After a particular program in school where purpose was the topic, I went to an empty room of the fourth floor and burst into tears. Behind these tears was great fear “I am totally clueless on what God has sent me to earth for and if I don’t find it, what do I tell God on judgment day?” When I found my voice I began to beg God “Please show me your vision for my life”. After weeks of expecting a loud voice in my ears or having an encounter in my dreams, frustration kicked in and I got  determined to do with my life as I pleased since God was not answering (so I thought). During a meeting with my mentor at the time, Dr Azubike Ezenwoke, he said “God is more willing to show his purpose for your life than we are willing to know it”. This put my mind at rest and I remembered that there is  time for everything with God. At that point, I might have lost interest in school and jumped on the train if my purpose was revealed to me. To

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
