HOW TO BE YOUR OWN GATEKEEPER
Last week, I had the privilege of speaking on theme tagged GATE-KEEPERS organised by DWF.After considering how I would approach the theme, I decided to speak on HOW TO BECOME YOUR OWN GATE-KEEPER. But Before I go further, Let's see what Gate-keeping means or who a gatekeeper is.
A gate-keeper is one who secures a place or persons from intruders. Security personnel like soldiers, police, night guards etc are people who protect our land, lives and properties from intruders.…
WHY CONSISTENT PROGRESS IS BETTER THAN RARE GREAT PROGRESS
In this day and age, speed and instant gratification has become the norm of the day. People easily forget the profound truth in the quote "slow and steady wins the race."The idea of slow consistent progress in our modern fast-paced world can be counter intuitive where quick fixes and sudden success is more glorified than steady growth yet we can't deny the great stories of successful people who experienced slow but steady and consistent growth in life.In our da…

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR TIME
We live in a fast paced world where everyone is busy with responsibilities and obligations that are either self-imposed or placed on us by others. Other times, we are distracted by side attractions such as social media platforms, parties, hanging out with friends, TV programs and so on that prevent us from pursuing our goals, dreams and visions in life. In our busy schedules, we tend to forget that life is fleeing away fast hence the need to make the most of our time here on…

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT YOUR GROWTH

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. Every day of our lives, we go through so many problems or challenges economically, financially, emotionally, academically and otherwise. These challenges do not define us but how we act, react or respond to these challenges. While there are people who tend to crumble under the pressure of challenges or adversities, there are those who seem to remain calm not because they are not affected in anyway but because th…
