WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT YOUR GROWTH
Daily showing up, putting in the work, taking risks and putting yourself out there leads to success. As we strive, putting in our best into our crafts, disciplines, dreams and visions, we create a snowball that will pick up as it grows. Whatever we decide to do daily leads to an outcome and whatever pendulum we pick, we end up standing out. But unfortunately, what we do not envisage most of the time as we embark on a journey of growth are the trolls, haters, bullies and the e…

STANDING IN YOUR OWN TRUTH AND ITS BENEFITS
Standing in your own truth is not for the weak in heart but those who are courageous enough to air out their perspective or views irrespective of what is trending. I have come to learn early in life that standing in your own truth is not an easy thing to do. It can make you lose lots of friends and gain a very few. The more we get accustomed to the norms around us, the more we neglect the things we actually stand for.
So often, instead of speaking our truth, we consent to thin…
THE ART OF LEARNING TO ACT LIKE NOTHING BOTHERS YOU
Life in all of its beauty and complexities can be unpredictable.

They masquerade their true selves portraying an image of perfection and strength in fear of being judged, rejected, feel ashamed, disappointed or griefed.
Vulnerability is an emotional state that comes with lots of uncertainties. There is nothing…

YOU ARE NOT YOUR ISSUE
You are not defined by what you may have gone through, are going through or by what isn't working out for you. You are not your past addictions, failures or mistakes.Every negative experience you may have gone through does not sum up your life and they are not who you are. They are not even a fraction of the picture of who you are. In life, we will definitely encounter problems, certain difficulties and challenges but we ought not to let these challenges define who we are…

GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT
I spoke to a friend who feels God no longer makes sense to him as all hope is lost. In fact to him, God is unfair for not coming through for him despite all his efforts and hard work in the pursuit of his goals and dreams.
I also had a friend who felt God wasn't coming through for her in her relationships with the opposite sex and later died of depression and anxiety.Life happens to us all. It will not always give us all that we want or desire neither will it go as expe…
IT'S OKAY NOT TO KNOW
Curiosity and eagerness is good when it leads to learning and exploration. It is said, those who are curios are often intelligent and knowledgeable people but when it comes to the issues of life, it's okay not to know everything or have the answers you desperately seek. Life is not always easy no matter how beautiful and grandiose your dreams may look. Get to a certain age, the zenith of your career, a certain social status or the highest of degrees educationally, you sti…
