Hi,
I am wishing you all the very best you can get in this world and in the hereafter. If you need to apply for scholarships after your first degree, you need more than a high CGPA to achieve that. Here are some things I suggest you focus on.
1. If you want to study in the US, you need to prepare for exams like the GRE and the IELTS, those are some of the qualities that schools seek in excellent students
2. Be an all-round student, participate in leadership activities that seek to help not just yourself, but also seeks to develop other people.
3. Learn as much programming skills as you can even if you are not a programmer, every field these days need some form of programming.
4. Form wonderful relationships with your professors so they can write good recommendations when you need them.
5. So many more things I believe you can work on.
6. Take more online courses in your field and begin to form your network especially on LinkedIn.

You can reach out to me on Linkedin on https://www.linkedin.com/in/azibit/

I know it can be difficult especially when you have high hopes for good grades and do not just happen. Keep pushing my friend, greatness awaits you and do not let this stop you.

So You Want To Quit?
So many times we get involved in things we want to turn out well, but the first outcome is not always as expected and we blame ourselves for ever getting started in the first place. At that point, the thing we tell ourselves is to quit and stop trying out whatever it is that we were trying out. And so you quit, and what happens, you feel a little better, but for just a while. Do you stop doing things that might not work out or you simply just stay in your comfort zone and never try out new things?

Well, there is a third option to that. You get yourself back up, understand why you failed the first time, and then understand how you could have improved. Then put back the effort and try again. Most times, you do not need to worry about trying out again on the same task because truth be told, there are things we excel at more than other things. So sometimes it pays that you consider what areas you can do much more with little effort and try again.

You do not want to give up in all things thinking that it is not your area of strength. Sometimes strength is more about the things you do more and more than something you simply just like from the beginning. Some things naturally come easier to us, and for some other things, we would need to put in a whole lot more work before you can really understand if it is something you want to go for. You cannot put in little effort in a task and get to hit a wall and you think it is not something you are good at. No, you would need to put in more time and effort before you finnally decide if it is something you want or not. So your level of knowledge is what you need to improve in such case rather than just giving up on it.

Before you seek to give up on a particular area, try as much as you can to reach out to mentors in the area who can better explain what it feels like to spend hours and days working in that area. You do not need to always be the person to try things out before you consider going for them. Speak to people in the field before you go in or let go.

Yes, you should let go on a lot of things, but before you do, try as much as you can to spend more time and also reach out to mentors. It is not enough to continue to find a skill or passion that you simply just like from the beginning. It requires time and effort to finalize whether you want to let go or not. If you give up in one area, how sure are you that you would not give up on another area? The spirit to keep pushing is really important no matter how things look.

Before you start on any task, look closely and understand as much as you can if it is something you want. Reach out to people in the field who have spent time doing it, and understand if you can do the things the seasoned experts have done. Some times, it is that we do have enough knowledge and that is what makes us frustrated with what we are doing. Go start from the beginning, understand the basics and try again. The world awaits your greatness.

Wishing you all the very best. Thanks and God Bless

Live To Your Fullest Potential
Have you ever imagined what would happen if when you die, and you arrive in heaven to give account of what you did on earth, the person attending to you calls your name, you move to receive your record, and in it was supposed to be a person that was much more successful, enjoyed more of life and did a whole lot of the things they are currently afraid of doing. If that person there was you, how would you feel? That you kept away from the uncomfortable zones of life only to have under lived. How would you feel?

Also consider the second scenario when you receive your record and you see that you were able to achieve what was recorded for you and you even did more. You would definitely be happy and be glad you took that route in life. So why then do we still continue to live life as if we are not going to die? We underachieve so we can tell ourselves that at least we were not disappointed. We did not aim too high and we are at least okay with what we have. And that is what I say is the major issue.

The people you see and remember in history were never those who played life small, kept at it and we just remember them everyday. Imagine how many people have lived since the beginning of time and imagine how many of them we remember today in history. I can say less than 10% of the people who have lived are remembered for doing something different. The remaining 90% lived and their lives ended the day they left this world. So what path do you want your life to take?

Do you want to continue playing safe and hitting your low targets or you want to push through life with all that you got so that in the end, you really lived and not just survived? Never feel disappointed if you aim for something really high and you do not hit it. Be scared when you aim for something low and you achieve because the high achievers are what the world remembers. Realize that some of the rules of achievements we find today are set up by other people, some are not necessarily natural rules that we must follow and as such, if you continue to follow rules layed down by a certain person, your life would never outgrow that person’s life and in the end, you would have lived just like that person and you have no real impact of yours on earth.

Seeking for high goals does not necessarily mean taking the highest risk, it sometimes just means not following the conventional thinking of others. See where conventional knowledge has brought everyone, do you want to still continue on this path? Seek to follow a road less traveled because you would then see what only few has seen. Just because you have taken the less traveled road does not mean things would basically work out, it means you would just have to figure it on your own. And if you try following a lot of less traveled roads, you would one day have mastered it and would have mastered what only few people know.

Know that fear is important to keep us alive but also fear can keep us in the same place for the rest of our lives. So you can decide what it is going to be. Continue aiming low with what you have and achieving or seeking a new path where you can be a much better version of yourself. The fear of disappointment or breakdown would always be there when you try out new things but only in that risk is your reward. And would it help shape your life 10 years from now if you follow this new path or you would continue to be like others 10 years from now?

The choice is yours to make. Understand that living below our higher callings means that our lives in the end was never lived optimally and of what use is a person if their lives is not lived to the fullest. Know that anything below your maximum capacity means that you are living less than life and you would not want to do that. So seek to continue pushing everyday even if disappointment keeps rolling in. Just keep pushing. The right answer is on its way.

Thanks and God Bless.

What Are You Most Afraid Of?
If you do not get uncomfortable, you might never be ready to grow. You go through life everyday trying to simply manage whatever life has given you. You tiptoe through life managing all the minimums you can get so that at least you survive till the next day. A question I want to ask you is what is survival if you are not progressing? How much more of survival can you take while still being the same person you were yesterday.

If the person you were yesterday does not embarrass you today, maybe its time to grow. It does not embarrass you so bad that you want to completely dissociate from your old self, but it makes you laugh so hard about your old self. But you do not stop even at who you are right now, you keep pushing. Keep moving everyday so that you can improve.

What you are most afraid of right now might really kill you or make you stronger than you can ever imagine. You sometimes need to be ready for when it happens, but if you keep hiding everyday, running away and wishing it never happened, then it never might happen and you would not have found out what would have happened if you did try it out.

To succeed does not necessarily mean you know what is next for you. It means that you are willing to sacrifice the happiness you have now for something greater tomorrow. You are willing and ready to keep pushing for what you want and not be afraid of what is going to come at the end of it. The most important thing is that you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone.

As you start your day today, so many things would make you scared, but you can also decide to allow that fear make you stay where you are or you can take that fear and push yourself up. Up to the level and skill you want to be at. No matter how much you fear, the result is always can always change if you get started today. The number of days we spend on this earth does not matter if we do not push ourselves out of the comfort zone everyday. The comfort zone is cool because it is familiar. We see everything around and it is the way it always is. So why give that up for something you are not familiar with.

But do you know that what is familiar might be what is holding you down and holding you back. You might have to let go of what is familiar before you can begin to see what needs to be done to move further and get better. Never let fear of what is out there keep you away from achieving what you set out to achieve.

So I ask you today, what is that thing that most scares you, but if you try to push through, you can be a much better person than you can ever be? The time to always push out of your comfort zone is now. Tomorrow might be too late. Get started now. Go push yourself. Thanks and God Bless.

You Have A Plan, Now What?
Its the start of a wonderful new year, and we are already 4 days in. 361 days left to go. So many resolutions being made, so many plans being created, so many habits a lot of people would be seeking to give up or build. So many things to do. But it seems as if as the year moves on, we kind of lose steam of who we are, give up and just go with life as it happens everyday. When people ask, you simply reply, let’s face reality.

But instead of saying let’s face reality and you achieve less than you set out to achieve, I say to you today, let us face reality and do much more. Understand that the impact an achieved plan has in your life is unlimited. Well achieved goals and plans makes us different from the person we used to be, and if you do need to become that better version, you need to be able to follow up with your plan.

Understand that simply having a plan does not solve all your problems, in fact having a plan kind of makes it more difficult, but what is reward if not rest after difficulty. Do not expect that the result would come if you did not put in the needed work. No, success would only come after you have persevered and have put in the work you need. Remember, it is not easy and you would need to always remember this. And it is okay if it is not easy.

Has a friend ever met you and said, you know I should be rewarded for waking up everyday? You would look at them and simply assume that are not in their right senses. Who expects reward for doing what everyone does? Same as your current position, do not expect reward if it was easy to achieve and accomplish. This is why you need to understand that your goals might not be as easy as you expect them to be, and that is okay.

To be able to follow up with your goals, one of the most important things I say is to always write it down. In writing it down, you are able to visualize yourself doing that thing you are hoping for. So start by writing it out and it is okay to even write it out on a piece of paper as that would take more time to complete and would give you the ability to fully assimilate what it is that you are writing. Beyond writing it down and having it all ready, next is to break it down into weekly achievements, followed by daily achievements.

When you start your day, imagine yourself at the end of the day and what it would look like. Imagine some part of your goal you want to achieve. Slow and steady they say wins the race. So at the end of the week, you are able to look at yourself and see that you are moving forward. Reward yourself at the end of the week and really enjoy the success you have achieved. If you stay too long, you might essentially forget where you started from.

So at the end of the month, you have assessed yourself 4 times and the goal of the month is not where it was at the beginning. Reward yourself yet again for coming this far at the end of the month. And what is a year if not a repitition of the month 12 times. All you need to follow up with your goal for a year is to have your monthly follow up just 12 times. Just 12 times and you have completed the year’s plan.

Most common excuse people give is I do not have time. And to that I say, would engineers on a project continue to go to work everyday without looking at what they achieved yesterday and what they plan to do today? Or would they tell themselves that they already understand the task and just move to the site. Obviously, NO. So as you seem to give yourself the opportunity to say you have no time, you indeed have time. Understand that what is important must never be at the mercy of what is least important. So which is more important, your life’s plan or what you are doing today?

Beyond having a plan and following up with it, one other way to follow up is to seek a friend who you believe can help you follow up on your goals. This friend also has to be a friend who is working on his/her goals so you both can watch out for one another. If you have a friend who you have to meet up with to discuss your plans for the month, it makes it more interesting since you have to report back.

Understand this, even if you still give yourself the excuse that you do not have time, know that the day would end, the month would end, the year would end, and even our lives would also end. So how do you want to look back at your life and see it as? As time spent without following a plan or as someone who seeked to improved day by day.

So the plan is now easier. Write it out, follow it daily, weekly, and monthly. Have a friend you converse with at the end of the month about it. If the circle could be more than 2 friends, it would be more interesting. So start now. If you are seeking for a friend or partner to start with, I am willing to get started with you. So do let me know so we can get started.

A plan is not something that we write that cannot change, it changes as circumstances change. But we must be willing to mindfully follow up with them everyday. Wishing us all the very best with our plans for the year. Thanks and God Bless.

Why You Will Marry The Wrong Person
I started this article a long time ago but with a different title, the title was Marry Right. In my opinion, I felt if you did some things right, you would eventually find that other person who is just that part you are missing. Well, yes, you can find that person, but the chances of you finding that person is higher only when you are in a movie and you are the movie director.

Otherwise, we would continue to do one of the things human do well, make mistakes. But know that it is okay to make mistakes, but most importantly, make mistakes for the right reasons. Our environment and community has made us into people who just follow our feelings and impulses, and if that person makes us happy today, they would make us happy for the rest of our lives. So we take time trying to understand if that person is compartible with you. And one sad thing about this is that during this period, what we are most looking out for are the good parts of the other person so we can proudly tell our friends and family the good sides of the person.

However, such partner may only exist in our fantasies. The ones that would always make us happy every day. No day would pass that they would make us look bad or anything. So we already have this concept of what the other person should be and that is what we keep looking for everyday in our marriage. And know that when you continue to seek what is impossible, you might be dissappointed. But what you can otherwise do is to understand that people are not always completely good or bad. And that if you must marry a person, you must definitely like them for some good reasons, but you must also love them despite the other side of them that you do not like.

And it is in understanding that love is more than just a feeling, love is about making a decision to go with one another even though you do not look compartible. But both of you are willing and always ready to make it work, understand that you can have something going. Not that it would be perfect, but that you can continuously make it better. In seeking for perfection, you would be dissappointed, but if you go with imperfection and continuously work on it, it would get better everyday and you would have something close to that life you wished for.

So many would marry the wrong person because they had a different impression of who they were getting married to. A person that would everyday look more beautiful than they did the other day. A person who would never get angry or frustrated at their childishness. No, everyone wants the good side of the other person, but we can never always have it. So understand that love is more than just the marriage, it is about how much you are willing to sacrifice that really counts.

So when our parents say they love us, it is more about how much they are willing to lay on the ground to make us go further than they did. It is not about the feelings they have for us in their bellies, it is much more than that. So as you continue to seek that partner who you would spend the rest of your life with, understand that they are not always going to be perfect and that is okay. What is more important is making compromises. Everyone has to make compromise anyways.

So keep pushing, love but know that the other person is not perfect, give as much as you can even though others might not give as much, it is the sacrifice that we do in the end that makes it worth our while. So keep going, keep moving, and love always. Go out there, get that person, get married, and live life. You have the whole of your life ahead of you. Stay blessed.

Thanks and God Bless.

Got this inspiration from a video. Check it out here:

On The Need To Exercise
What do you imagine when you hear about exercise? Does what come to your mind involve doing physical activities that makes you tired and all, but in the end, gets your body to a higher fitness level? Well, that is a good place to start. But what if exercise was what you thought about and a whole lot more than you have ever imagined.

A one time event that got you sweating profusely might not be considered an exercise as it is more than just a one time thing. Exercise is planned, structured, and repeated in such a way that your body gets better every time you exercise. One of the key things you need to understand about exercise is consistency. When the activity becomes consistent, then you are on the right path. But one of the most difficult things in life is to stay consistent. The question a person might ask is what use does exercise give beyond improving my health. I could get to improve my health in a whole lot ways than exercise, a person might say.

But consider what exercise does to your brain. The brain is the highest consumer of glucose in the body, somewhere around 20% of our total glucose goes to the brain. And we might understand why this is so since the brain controls a lot of activities in our body. But beyond sending glucose to the brain through eating, have you considered what else the brain needs. It needs oxygen, and a whole lot of it.

And how can you improve sending more oxygen to the brain. Simple answer. Get more oxygen in your blood such that the blood goes to the brain. And what is a good way to get oxygen into your blood? Simple answer. Exercise. So rather than considering exercise as an activity you need to do everyday, consider it a means of improving one of the most important organ of your body. Since most of the things you do would involve the brain, don’t you want to do a whole lot to improve the activities of the brain?

Consider the brain like a poultry farm where you have birds that lay eggs everyday. Imagine what happens when you supply them more food and more oxygen to breathe, they do better. Same as the brain, so rather than only think that exercise makes you grow your muscles, understand that it does much more. Some research has found that the brain still grows even during our adult age, and one way to improve that growth is to get more oxygen to the brain and what best way can you think can help get that oxygen to the brain. Exercise exactly.

Beyond what exercise does to the brain, imagine what it does to the heart. Exercise does more than only help the brain, it also helps our heart. Imagine how one activity could really do so well for our body. It helps keep our vital organs in check and what it requires is a few minutes of consistency from time to time and we would be happy at the end of it all.

And as humans, we love challenges as they make us better versions of ourselves. Exercise challenges us to do more and be more especially in things we thought we could never do. To exercise usually requires a lot of perseverance as sleeping on the bed a little more usually sounds better than having to exercise that morning. But guess what, your brain requires exercise. And the earlier you get started, the better it becomes for you as a person. If one of the most important part of your body is the brain, don’t you want it to improve everyday. You surely would.

Understand that exercise is more about consistency than sudden burst of activities we cannot sustain. It is better to keep small committments than irregular activities we cannot sustain. Start small, choose to walk, jog, or run for a few kilometers today, get a break tomorrow, come back again the day after. That is how you keep pushing until it becomes something you cannot go a day without.

No time is too late to get started with exercise. Start small, start today. Just take a small step today and understand that with small steps, a journey is completed. Enjoy the journey, make it fun and make exercise a part of your life. Your life would improve more than you can imagine. Start now.

Thanks and God Bless.

On The Need To Have A Plan
Many people would today have new goals to become that version of themselves they have been hoping for in the last 5 years. Many would believe that because today is Tuesday and it falls into the new year, they can suddenly say the things they want and the new year simply listens and hands it over to them. But know that yes it is possible to become that new version of yourself, but you need to have a plan on how to achieve it.

If you plan to become better at a particular task over a period of time, the first question you want to be asking yourself is what plan do I have to achieve this goal I have set out. It is not about the goal at this point, the most important question is what plan do I have towards achieving it. As you develop a plan, you are able to visualize yourself doing the new things you so badly want to do. But without a plan, a lot of the things that we really wish to achieve would continue to evade us.

Know that most times, we overestimate the things we can do in a year and underestimate the things we can do in a day. Start out with how you plan to achieve this goal you have day by day. How would you plan your day so that you have at least a few minutes everyday to do something small about that goal. It could be as small as 30 minutes everyday. If you follow consistently with 30 minutes everyday, in a month, you would have spent 15 hours on that particular task. Imagine how much better you would be if you spend 15 hours consistently towards achieving that goal you have set out. Now imagine if you continue on that for a year. You would have spent 180 hours on that task.

You can think that 180 hours is small, but consider that it means that you spent about 7.5 days doing nothing but just that task you set out. No sleep, no eating, nothing but just that task. Imagine how much better you would have become. Just imagine. But until you set out a plan to start something, it might continue to skip our minds and we might not have any way to measure it. Setting a plan allows you to hold yourself accountable even when you do not follow up with the plan. You are able to know that you missed some days because you did not follow the plan. But if you do not have a plan, you cannot account for your actions. And not being able to be accountable for our plan is the beginning of the end of any goal we wish to achieve.

So we should realize that it is important to have a plan. Having a plan is really one thing, following it up is the difficult part. But what fun would there be if it was not hard. Everyone would be doing it, setting up plans and really achieving it, but because its hard, only few people can have and follow up with it. And this is where good friends and mentors come in, people who can help you achieve that consistency and dedication. Having a partner who holds you accountable can really make your plan stick, but it would be excellent if you can hold yourself accountable, but it is usually very hard.

One way to hold yourself accountable is to draw up a calendar where you tick it everyday if you achieve that task and cancel it out if you do not. Seeing yourself do more ticks than cancels can give you more energy to continue doing more. So go out there and get a calendar you can tick everyday. Put it in a place where you can see it every morning and make sure to tick it everyday.

The most important thing you should realize is that whether you follow the plan or not, in another 365 days, we would by God’s grace be celebrating another new year and you would only be left with regrets. Regrets that you did not make the best use of the last 365 days that you had. So the question you should be asking is do you want to have another 365 days to celebrate achieving your plans or a 365 days full of regrets? The choice at the end of the year is really YOURS to make. Yes yours.

If you have any plan you want to achieve, send me a message and let’s see how we can together work towards it. The world can only become better if the people in it get better. So play your part today. Remember that whether you follow the plan or not, another 365 days is around the corner. What choice would you make? Accomplishment or regrets?

Thanks and God Bless.

Make Your Journey To The Top
Have you ever considered hiring a person for a job? You start out with a long list of the people you might be interested in picking, but as you begin to consider their various levels of expertise and proficiency, the numbers begin to reduce until you are left with few people to choose from and that is the few you would be betting on for the project.

This simple process of hiring shows a very fundamental concept of life which is that a lot of people have fairly good knowledge in a lot of areas, but when you seek to find only the experts, the number quickly dwindles and you only have a few options to choose from. As such, experts in various fields would continue to make a whole lot more since there are fewer experts and the best jobs always come to them anyways. They are able to decide the price and how the job would be done.

In essence, the competition at the top is not at fierce as you might imagine it since the number has greatly reduced. They have been able to move from the red ocean of life where the everyday battle is about competition and have moved onto the blue ocean of life where you create your own niche and call the shots. This is where we all should aspire to be in our fields, at the top. But this does not come only by wishing and daydreaming.

The natural or basic force would tend to always keep you in the red ocean where you spend basic energy to at least remain alive for the day and everyday, you just live to stay alive, no more no less. But when you want to make the conscious effort to not only live day by day to survive, you need a new form of energy to tip you off from this conventional mode of life and this form of energy is what is considered hardwork. Have you not considered that if the major work is called hardwork, what is the other work called? Easywork.

So to be able to move from the bottom to the very top, you need to be willing to let go of the easywork for the hardwork. Understand the saying, hardwork pays. It gets you from the base level to the top, that is how it pays. However, you also need to understand that hardwork does not necessarily involve expending more energy, it simply means using your resources much more than you currently are. If you are using your time less, hardwork says to maximize your time, if you have money, hardwork says to maximize utilizing it.

Sometimes hardwork is misinterpreted to mean more force exerted in what you are doing. In some areas, this applies, but in a lot more areas, hardwork might mean focusing on a whole less than before but putting more energy and effort in the few rather than doing a whole lot as you might consider. Hardwork involves understanding what your peak hours are and how to do more during your peak hours than at any other period.

So to find your way to the top, understand that it requires a whole new type of work, work you would not necessarily normally put. It means doing more research, reading, exercise, spending more time with loved ones and a whole lot more. The work you would need to do would depend on your field, but it would definitely be what the other people are not ready to put in. And sometimes, it might mean spending more time at what you are doing than others. And that is fine, but do not make it become too much as you can easily get burned out.

So consider your field today and realize what you would need to begin to do that would help you cross into the expert zone of your field. Seek mentors who are already experts and follow in their footsteps. That is one of the easiest ways to get started. So start now, keep pushing and understand that getting to the top requires a whole new type of work you would normally not be putting in.

And understand that getting to the top takes time, you do not simply expect the result immediately because you put in all the effort now. It requires dedication and consistency. Remember that an athlete does not get all that strength and stamina in one day. It involves putting in the work consistently everyday until you get to that point when you are indeed in the expert zone. But remember, it takes time. So when you get started and it seems to not be making sense, keep pushing, you are on the way. Remember, consistency and patience is the ingredients you need during this journey.

Keep pushing and I have no doubt that you would one day make it to the top. I wish us all the very best on our journey to the top. See you at the top my friend. Thanks and God bless.

Hi, Congratulations on discovering that you have a talent at such young age in our dear Nation Nigeria.

What I would advice and suggest is to seek to further your studies outside Nigeria so you can help make the change Nigeria needs when you get back. One of such ways involves taking some exams.

I would suggest you take the SAT and IELTS exams. These exams provide you an opportunity to seek further studies especially in the US. With your brain, I believe these exams should not be too much hassle to pass. Check them out and see how you can proceed.

There is an organization called EdUSA, a US government program that helps prepare students to study in the US, I believe you would be a good candidate. Do check them out. They have an office in Lagos and Abuja, usually in the US embassy buildings.

I wish you all the very best with your life journey. If you need any more info, you can call or chat me up on 07069414970.

I see a wonderful young person who would really do great things in life, never let anything stop you. Keep pushing and keep going.

On The Gender Of Money And Why It Matters
Have you ever considered if money was male or female and what gender of money you were spending? Would you ever care to understand what gender of money you should spend and what gender you should not? These are some questions that I have over time thought about and has led me to believe that indeed money has a gender, and there is a gender of money you should spend and another gender you should use for something else.

Let us consider for example a goat farmer who is in the business of multiplying the number of goats that he has. Imagine if the goat seller wants to sell between two young goats, a male and a female. Which would he prefer to sell? The male or the female goat? And the answer seems obvious if the goat farmer is in the business of multiplying the goats he has, he should sell the male goat so the female goat can grow, mate and produce new offspring.

And same is the idea of money. We must begin to consider the money we get everyday as either a male or a female money and in so doing, can we understand why we might need to spend some money and why we might not spend some money. This idea of the gender of money means that there are certain amount of money you need to spend everyday to keep running your life and there are certain money you need to use to multiply the money that you have. Because in seeking to multiply the money you have, you need to make your female money mate and produce more money rather than being the one working to make the money.

When most people are asked on how they plan to get rich, one of the answers people give is to work harder, yes you need to work harder, but first, you need your money to work harder for you. When your money works harder for you, consider it as the female money which can help reproduce more money. The goal of the male money is to keep your body and soul together while the female money is in the business of producing more money.

But the problem is that most people spend all their money as male money. The type of money that goes out with no business of reproducing more money. It is important to realize that not all the money you have would likely be female money and that in life, you would need to have male money, but always ensure that the plan is to make your female money work more for you. In spending, before you spend any money, consider whether that money is a male or a female money.

And when you analyze the male money that you spend, it usually goes to another person’s female money. So to get started with how to grow your female money, consider where people spend their male money and send your female money there. That way, it is much easier for your female money to mate and help produce more money.

Any time you have a certain amount of money with you, know that you can decide to spend the money either as a male money or a female money and the choice you make greatly depends on you, so you make the wise choice. However, understand that you can never have all your money as female money, so always budget for the male money. But before you take out the male money, consider taking out the female money first.

And why it is easy for rich people to give out money is because they have a lot of female money out there mating and reproducing everyday and that is usually the difference between the rich and the poor. It is never in the amount of money that you have, but in the mindset and how you spend the money. Understand that you can give two people in the same economic status a billion dollars and come back to them in the next 10 years. The person who would have multiplied the billion dollars more is he who has more female money out there than male money and that is the mindset this article is trying to share with you.

It is not about how much money you have, it is about whether the money you have is more female money than male. And that is what matters. So as you begin to spend today, because you would have to spend to further some female money of another person, consider also making some part of that money you have female money so that you can also rake in some male money from another person. Look around and find that male money, then put in your female money to get you that.

It is important to realize that in life, it is usually more about our principles than the amount of money that we have, and this principle on the gender of money is something I believe can really help change a lot of lives if we begin to look at money more than just something to spend, but something to consider in its gender before spending. So go out there today and spend the male money you need to spend, but most importantly consider where you can put in your female money so you can also have your money working for you.

Thanks and God Bless.

Juniorbuba:


Is it one of the gdg events that held in lagos you were referring to?

Well, the Google Event happens in a lot of cities around Nigeria, but yes some of that and so many other events.

On Getting Back Up
All the long hour tutorials on machine learning, all the days spent discussing machine learning, it was now time to get to do something with it at the AccessBank Hackathon event in Lagos. You only do not want to attend these events for the price money, but the price money is usually a wonderful motivation to keep you going.

The dream was set, but well, at the end, my team, the Edge, was edged out of winning. We did not get the first, second or even third and that was bad. I began to wonder what had happened to all those sessions and tutorials I had watched and what had happened so far to me. I began to ask if I was indeed even interested in being a data scientist or it was just another dream to wake up from.

But on my way back from Lagos to Abuja, I had some time to think about the person I was when I attended the event and the new person I have become. The new me heading back to Abuja. I realized one very important thing, even though my team did not win, my team had learned a lot. A whole lot that can be implemented in a whole new area of machine learning. While learning, I had also understood areas I needed to improve on, the key things I was lacking since I started out as a novice Data scientist.

And one of them was about practicing and documentation. It is important to note that even the best still take time out to practice and sometimes, you do not need to remember it all. Just check it up. With these 2 key ideas, I have understood the areas of my weakness and what to do about it. So many people might say this is simple to know and understand and you would have to be a slowpoke not to know it, but when the results of not doing it really touches you first hand, you learn it the hard way.

I have learned it and I believe I would be a better data scientist with the experience. It has taken me to the rock bottom because when you feel you know something and its time to show it and you cannot, then all you know might not really matter anymore. It has really hit me hard.

But one way to handle it is to complain and whine about the problem, or continue to get myself back up and get better. The best action after the event is to indeed learn from the lessons the event had impacted and for me, I am taking them and imbibing them to the fullest in my life by God’s grace.

So no matter what is currently happening in your life, which might or might not be similar to my case, you have an option to either continue complaining about it, or doing something about it. Challenges show us the weakness in our plans and one thing is to be grateful if anyone or anything points out our weakness. We learn and become stronger.

So as you start your day today, whether you have been broken or not, know that you can always be better than your circumstances make you see or believe. I still wish my team won but even without winning, we have to learn and build ourselves again. The future is a product of our current decisions, the past is in the past. So start your day everyday with a renewed spirit to be better than whatever your situation makes you believe.

But first, you must be willing to put in the work, for me, it means more work now more than ever needs to go into the dream I have. Seek to make your challenges a way to grow and you would keep growing everyday.

Be that person you want to be and do not let challenges stop you. The world awaits your greatness.

If It Was Easy
If it was easy, everyone would have done it. So be grateful that you are in a situation that is not easy, it means you are onto something not everyone can really achieve at the present time. Realize that the easy path is usually what everyone would take and if life is taking you through a rough path, it means it is preparing you for something you do not currently have, and it is this process that would prepare you for the next task.

So remember this, if you are going through a rough path, what you need is to change your perspective and be more positive about life. For a lot of people, the tough path would mean they can now complain about how life is unfair to them. And most times, we usually complain about the small parts of our lives that is not going as planned and we forget the other part of our lives that is going so well.

So before you complain about something not right in your life, take a few minutes to appreciate all the other parts that are working well. Because you can never be able to itemize all the good things that you have in your life even if you wanted to. It is okay to complain and whine but for just a little time, and get yourself back up. No man has all the days of their lives perfect, so when the day is not going as planned, remember how other days have gone well and also believe that the day can still be better.

Know that whatever you have can be better and when things do not go your way, remember that it could be better. Just believing that things can be better is not enough, you need to work towards it, but believing is the first thing you want to have in your travel pack of navigating life. The future is something difficult to predict so we need all the energy and focus we need and most importantly we need to believe things can get better.

So as you start your day today, no matter how bad it is, remember that things can get better and you can always improve no matter what situation you are in. Get going, keep going, and take time to relax. It is okay to relax, take time out but the only thing you should never do is to give up. Do not give up on what you believe is a dream and a passion. Go for it and you can become that person you want to be.

Remember if it was easy, everyone would have done it. And while you are at it, keep pushing and keep going. The whole world awaits your greatness. Thanks and God bless.

When Challenges Happen
It is human to feel bad and sometimes hopeless when challenges happen, and that is okay, but for a little while. Give yourself time to be human, feel the pain of not achieving what you could not achieve. Then use that pain and challenge to push yourself forward, because challenges are usually detours that usually take you where you are supposed to have been in the first place.

When challenges happen, change your perspective about it. Rather than seeing it with a negative mind, give yourself the opportunity to see the goodness that might be involved in it. Well, sometimes it is very difficult to see the goodness in something when you cannot think otherwise. But give yourself time to think and you would be happy things turned out the way they did.

Nothing is really ever a mistake. When it does not go your way, the most important thing to take out of it is a lesson. And ensure that the lesson you learn is not such that keeps you away from achieving more in the future. Because some lesssons we learn usually keep us in the same place and our justifications are that it happened in the past and we do not want it to happen again.

It is understandable that we keep ourselves away from things that have hurt us in the past, but remember that fear can both push you or stop you. Choose the better part and let your fear push you to become a better person. So when challenges happen, give yourself just a little time to be human about it, learn from it and move on. This is because it seems as if challenges are like breathing to humans. We cannot really do without it. So if we cannot live without it, the next best thing is to manage it.

As such, with challenges comes the opportuntiy to become better. Challenges do not come alone, they come with an opportunity that might be very big if we also stay calm and see the challenge as an opportunity. Your outlook on life is usually true, whether positive or negative. Choose correctly.

As you start your day today, begin to weave positivity into every thing that you do. Realize that challenges would happen, but challenges wrapped inside a weave of positivity becomes opportunity. What one man sees and runs away, another sees and comes closer. Choose wisely. Look at challenges with a smile and say to yourself that you would overcome in the end. And go for it. Challenges need to be tackled, and you are the right person for the job. So go for it. Thanks and God Bless.

Holding On To The Past
Experience they say is the best teacher, but sometimes holding on too much to the actions of the past do us no good. It is as if we keep reliving the past and never really living in the present. It is alright to always remember the past in trying to do something but sticking too much to the past can inevitably keep us in the past.

Most times we do not want to try out things because we did them in the past and they did not work out. Okay, but have you considered doing that same thing another way? Or have you considered that you are now a better person than you were before and maybe you can do much better now? So many questions I want to ask you about that action you want to do but never give yourself the chance to try it out.

It is important to be cautious in life but never be too cautious that you never really live. So many times, I see opportunities that people do not take only because they had something like that in the past. If it is just about trying again, why not just try? Maybe you can be lucky this time. And in holding on to the experience of the past, most people decide to choose the bad experiences and continue reliving them.

You find people who do not want to love anymore because they have been hurt, you find people who would not go out of their way to help because they have been hurt. It is reasonable to do all that but have you ever considered what might happen if you never try again? The answer is obvious, you would remain where you are and never move forward in that area only because you hold onto the past. Life is never a bunch of mistakes, but a bunch of adventures we must always learn to enjoy. The story is not always fascinating, but looking at ourselves right now, we are exactly where are supposed to be.

It matters that we seek out things that make us better and run away from things that do harm us, but sometimes we simply just use the experience of yesterday to form the expressions of today. And that is not right. Give yourself the opportunity to try out new things even if it did not work out in the past.

And one other worst thing is to use the experience of others to judge how your life would be. Well, the other person did not get it, I might as well not get it. And so you give up on something that could have worked in your favour. Never ever go down this path because as humans, we all have different routes in life and one man’s path is another man’s blockade. So give yourself the opportunity to live everyday as a new day.

Thanks and God Bless.

Write It Down
We have the fastest human device at our disposal, the Brain and that makes us very powerful at some tasks. As such, we believe in handling a lot of things at once. But in trying to do a lot of things at once, we also might get overwhelmed with all the things around us that we forget a whole lot more. As such, it is important that we try as much as we can to write out some of the things that we plan to do. Anything that crosses your mind is an asset you do not want to lose.

So try as much as you can to write down a lot of the things you plan to do. In doing so, you are able to track such activities and you do not only remember some of these things when time has passed. In writing down the things we plan to do, there is a sense of achievement when we cross out the things we have done. In crossing them out, we believe that we are not in the same place as we were yesterday and we know that at least we are achieving something.

It is important that we are not only busy as humans but productive at the same thing. With writing out the things we want to do, we are able to easily assess ourselves and see if the things we do are more or less things any other person could have easily done and we would understand if we simply just waste too much time on very little things. So in whatever it is that you want to do today, consider how you can be more productive.

In deciding if you would be more productive, you would need to at least have written that thing down so you can easily consider it better. When you have written something down, it is easier to observe and consider it than just thinking from your mind.

Also, when you write, you let your brain process a whole lot more since some of the other things have been noted and your brain does not have to keep holding on to them. So in writing, consider it a task of relieving your brain of handling too many information. Information overload is real and we can do well to help ourselves by writing some tasks down.

So as you begin your day today, I know you have one of the most powerful device, but in order to make it more efficient, you need to keep some things away from the brain and those things can be safely kept away when you write them down. Writing them down might look like you are slowing down but consider it a method of traveling light. It is always better to travel with a smaller luggage than a bigger one. Always.

So get started now and write down those things you plan to achieve today. To travel light, write it down. Thanks and God Bless

Keep Your Phone Away
Once we feel free for a minute, the next thing that comes to mind a whole lot of the time is to get our phone and begin to check what is happening around us. We do this so much that we begin to make it an habit, an habit which slowly makes us more interested and dependent on what is always happening around us. But know this, whether you know or you do not, things keep happening.

So it is important to sometimes realize that knowing about all the trends in the world of sport, marketing and so much more can be quite interesting at times but do we really need it? It is important that we begin to realize and understand how important it is to have some time to ourselves. Because it used to be that our mobile phones kept us away from our families, but they are now keeping us away from ourselves. Until we keep our phones away, we might never be able to really have time and be ourselves.

It might be that you are reading this article with your phone, and that is okay but the point where it becomes too much is when you have all day breaking only to look at your phone. Take sometime out and keep your phone far away. In keeping our phones away, we always believe something important might happen that we might miss out. And sometimes this is true, but not all times, but our brains continue to be wired like this if we continue to pick our phones every little minute we have.

Humans are social animals and as such, we love to interact with one another. So it is important to always take some time away from our phones to check up on other people because connecting with others via our mobile phones is cool but it can never replace physical interactions. So as you continue your day today, set out time to yourself, a time away from your mobile, a time for yourself.

Because in setting time out for ourselves, we are able to see new things that we did not take time out to see before and as such, we experience life differently. Understand that living entails understanding what is around us and if we do not do that, we might sometimes not have lived at all.

So keep your phones away for a while, set out time for yourself, time for friends and family. Real quality physical time.

Thanks and God Bless.

When You Make Mistakes
We are humans and not angels for a reason. We make mistakes and mistakes sometimes make us feel so uncomfortable, embarrassed and disappointed in ourselves. Making mistakes is inevitable so we might not be able to ever stop it, but one thing that we can do that can make our mistakes worth the time is how we respond when we make mistakes. Our actions after making a mistake is what is important.

After making a mistake, the first and foremost thing to do is to regret our actions. In regretting our actions, we think in our mind of the various other ways we could have planned out our actions and try as much as possible to develop a different plan from the one we did. In trying to determine a better way to have planned out our actions, we are learning from our mistakes. Of what good is our mistakes if they do not make us better versions of ourselves. So the most important thing is to first determine what the best line of action could or should have been.

Beyond understanding the other better way to have planned out our actions, the next most important thing is to apologize to the person we offended. Most times our mistakes affect or cause harm to others, in apologizing, we take the blame and ensure that the other person understands that we are simply just being human. And in being human, we naturally have to make mistakes. One bad thing to do when we make a mistake is trying to cover it up and sometimes using others as our shield. This might save you for the time being, but would not work for long. This method is not strategy proof. You would always need to lie to cover it up.

So after realizing how best we could have played out our actions and have apologized for it, we then need to tell ourselves that our mistakes do not have to define who we are. Mistakes are lessons to make us stronger and not necessarily an identity that shows who we are. Mistakes should not define who you are. Who you are is the person after making that mistake and things have become clear to you. Never attach yourself too much in your past that it shapes who you are going to be in the future.

Realize that the past is a lesson for the future and not a framework for the future. In living your life based only on your mistakes and your past, you are only reliving yesterday and what sense does it make to relive your yesterday today. It means today has no real meaning or value to you.

So as you start your day, realize that making mistakes would be inevitable and that you can make some people hurt by your mistakes, but know that your mistakes do not define who you are and you can always come out on the other side a better version of yourself. See yourself as growing everyday and do not let the mistakes of the past hold you down. You are much better than what the past gave you. That is why today is here to serve you something better.

Do have a great day and God Bless.

Learn To Be Patient
We have some habits we feel are natural and cannot change, but one habit I have personally felt possible to change is patience. I do not claim to be a very patient person but I have realized that I have increased my level of patience over time and so can you. It does not have to be a radical change, but you can start one step at a time.

The most important thing about being patient is to always know when you are not patient. That is the first key. Detecting whenever you are not patient helps you realize the things that make you rather angry. In understanding the things that make you angry, you can easily make a conscious effort to avoid them. I feel impatient especially after expecting something from someone but get a rather lower result. This I have realized to be something that makes me less patient and one of the things I can do is to ensure I do more to help the person when discussing and to try as much as possible. In doing more, I believe the result would be better.

So in whatever it is that you do, the need to be patient is very important and one of the best ways is to always be aware of when you are not patient. Beyond understanding when you are not patient, you also need to help set a target for yourself in not getting angry. For me, when things would rather make me impatient, I tell myself learning to be patient now would be important in the future and so, I try to tell myself that this moment is a training for the future. In everything that we do, being patient always pays. But never equate patience with laziness. Being patient is giving in all that you can while expecting that the best result would still come. You do not give less than you can and patiently expect the best results. That does not happen.

So as you start your day today, realize that you might naturally not be a patient person but that patience is like developing your muscles. You were not built with all your muscles already out, you take your time to develop them and so with patience. You can begin to get into the gym of patience so that in the end, you become a better person. Never say that I am naturally not patient, learn to be patient. It helps in the long run.

So start now and let that thing that would have made you angry make you patient, because if we are all patient enough, the end is always better when we are patient. Be patient today with your spouse, your kids, your employers and your employees and things would be alright in the end.

The best way to be patient is when you have the right to be angry but you give it all up to be patient. Try that and you would be better. Thanks and God Bless.

Ask God For Direction
It is important to realize that we do have a complex brain that helps thinks through a lot of the things we do everyday. But beyond having a brain that thinks through, we need to realize that we also need to be on the right path for whatever we are doing to have any impact or to make any sense which is why it is always important to seek God’s favour in everything that we do.

Sometimes, it is not about the rate at which we are moving or the energy we are expending, if we are expending the energy in the wrong direction, then it does not matter even if we are expending all our energy. It is important to realize that the direction is usually more important than the energy. And who is the best person to seek for directions from beyond the person who created us all, God. No matter how simple or how complex a decision might be for us, God is always interested in helping out. And all you have to do is to seek Him.

As you start your day today, consider even the simplest decisions that you want to make and ensure that you seek God. Seeking God could be as simple as being God conscious while making a certain decision and just letting go after seeking God. We do the best that we can and leave the rest to God to decide. But one mistake humans make is to expect that everything would be 100% because we have left it for God. Sometimes in not getting exactly what we want is the lesson God wants us to learn from. Maybe God wants us to learn what it feels like to have wanted and to not have gotten so that we can become a better version of ourselves.

So when you leave it for God, do not expect that things would work out just as you have planned. Have faith that the path it takes is the path God wants it to take and all you have to do is to believe in God and keep pushing. For every decision that you want to make, ask God. It could just be a few seconds of inviting God to take over whatever it is you want to start doing. By calling God in every of our affair, we begin to become more God conscious and no one becomes God conscious except that God is also conscious of that person. Seek God for direction everyday and He would always lead you right.

Never forget that because things did not go as you planned does not mean that the plan has stopped. It simply means that God is seeking a better plan for you and you would have to trust Him and keep moving forward. No one ever regrets believing in God. No one. So keep calling God in all your affairs and keep pushing. When you call the Master for directions, you get the grand master plan for the entire direction.

All you have to do is to work and believe that God is with you. Indeed, God is with us everyday. Seek God today and have a wonderful day. Thanks and God Bless.

Every Single Act Matters
To become whatever it is you want to become requires a number of smaller activities and actions. Achieving greatness does not happen in a day, it is a combination of a number of activities everyday that finally creates the big dream or goal that we want to achieve. So as you start today, what goal do you want to achieve and what is the smallest thing you can do that can bring you closer to your dream?

Dream big but start small. Aim for the sun, but start at the moon. Start small in everything that you want to do because sometimes the success is just past starting and sticking to it. We usually overestimate what we can achieve in a year and underestimate what we can achieve in a day. Single steps we take now are what makes up who we become in the end.

So every single act matters. Do it for the sake of becoming a better person, do it to make your community better. Never do anything to cheat another man or woman. In the end, we are a sum of the little things that we do everyday. One step at a time leads to a journey being covered. A breathe at a time leads to a life time, days lead to years, years to decades, and decades to centuries.

We underestimate small steps but they are usually what matters. So as you start today, look at the little things you are doing and ensure that you try the best that you can in each of them. At the end of the day, the little acts are what becomes the whole day. So in trying to have a great day, every single thing you do should be geared towards greatness. When every little thing is geared towards greatness, we in the end achieve something great.

So never wait for that one moment that would define your whole day. Start small. In everything that you do, put your best into it. No matter how small or big, since big things are small things joined together. In the end, no one knows what single act would bring you the best result. So do well in every single act because every single act matters.

Integrity Matters
In the world today where people all around us seem to be getting more successful by the day, the pressure to also hit big is real and when we are not very careful, this can lead us to a path we may not be able to get out of. It is important to realize that it is okay to dream big and want to gather wealth, but what is more important to understand is that the weallth we gather would one day become that of another person.

So while gathering the wealth, realize that no one leaves with it in the end. A piece of cloth is all you are going with. So realize that it is important to know that the means to our wealth is very important. And while trying to aim big, we need to develop a strong foundation. In developing a strong foundation, we need a foundation built on top of integrity and trust. So many times we believe making money is important, but NO, how we make it is more important.

Realize that when you have all the wealth, people would look to you for some source of wealth. Would you want people to gain from you illegally? Why then are you choosing to gather illegally. Know that whatever means we use to gather our wealth is the same way the wealth would be taken away from us. You gather it the right way, you disburse it the right way and vice versa. So it is important to realize that how we make our money is very important.

Most people justify how they make ends meet by saying that every other person does the same thing. But do you want to be like the crowd, indistinguishable and just a number, or you want to be that person who makes a new path for themselves. Remember that if everyone agrees, it might just be wrong. That everyone agrees never makes a lie become the truth.

How we live our lives matter because in the end, how we live is how we die. You live honorably, you die honorably and vice versa and we all want to finish well. As such, it is important that we continue to imbibe integrity in everything that we do. Also realize that integrity matters not only in how we acquire wealth, but in how we deal with every single thing in our lives. Every little thing you do should be based on that concept of integrity and trust. No matter how much you want to break it, try as much as you can to always hold onto integrity.

Let what people know you as is a person with Integrity. This is because in the end, integrity wins and it matters. If integrity has not won yet, then it is not the end. Thanks and God Bless.

Who Do You Want To Become?
Many of us run through life everyday seeking to achieve our basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter. This is understandable as humans since these are some of the fundamental things we need to stay alive. But beyond these needs, what do we seek from life? In waking up everyday, what purpose do you serve? Are you here on earth as a number to the list or something much more.

Whatever it is that we do everyday, it is important to seek to understand what it is that we want to become from doing those things. We move so fast and we sometimes move fast to nowhere. Your speed compared to another person does not matter as far as you know where you are headed. In living life, one of the things we need to find out is where we are going. In determining where we are going, it matters less that somebody else achieves something that we do not have. With that, we realize that everyone is on their lane seeking for what they want to become.

As you go out everyday, take some time out to ask yourself the fundamental questions of who is it that you want to become. What future you are you looking for? In asking these questions, we sometimes are able to better position ourselves in life. When another person buys something, you do not feel bad or sad since what you are seeking cannot be in anyway deterred by the success of others. But when we do not know what we seek for, every successful person becomes like a threat to us.

It is important to realize that you can be naturally jealous, but when you know who you want to become and where you are headed, you learn to let go of hating other people’s success and seeking to find yours. You share the happiness of others because you know that in being happy for others, happiness finds it way to you. So it is important to be happy for others while seeking to become who or what it is we want to become.

Realize that time waits for no one and a ship that leaves the habour with no destination is destined to never get to its destination. In the first place, what destination? Same as a human being who lives life with no direction or purpose. It is not compulsory to have a complete grasp of how the future would be, but it is necessary to have an idea of what you want to be, so that you know what you should do and should not do.

In seeking to become a better leader in the future, one would realize that it is important to begin to imbibe the necessary traits now if one does not already have them. So it is important to everyday have a goal and a purpose for our lives. We can leave this world any day but we want to leave it knowing that we lived with a purpose. A purpose worth fulfilling and a purpose that we are forever proud of. So ask yourself today, who do I want to become?

Thanks and God Bless.

Give More Today
Resources are limited for every human and as such, we want to maximize the resources that we have, and in maximizing what we have, it sometimes translates into keeping things for ourselves and having no room to share. The logic that comes to our mind is where will I get if I give out or what would I get in return when I give out?

These qestions bother us a lot of the time and in the end, we find ourselves either keeping all the resources or giving out some of them. And today, I say to you that it is better to share than to keep it all to yourself. It is better to always be a giver than to always be the taker. As you already know about life, things are not usually linear. It does not necessarily mean that you get less because you give out. Realize that when you were a kid, you gave out more so that you can get more in return from others. But beyond expecting something in return, giving makes us happier and better humans.

When we give, we learn to be able to live with less. And when we are able to live with less, we are content with whatever it is that we have. And in being content with the little that we have, we find happiness. And in the end, what is life if not a period spent being happy most of the time. So it is important to realize today that sharing and giving does not mean that what we have would diminish, see it from the perspective that you have been given more so that you can help others. In giving, it does not have to only be material things. We can give more of our love, time, and other things that are not necessarily material items.

And in giving, we should only have one intention. That the other person we are sharing with becomes a better person because of what we have done. That should be the goal. Not because they would pay you back or anything like that, but because someone’s life would become better simply because you shared. Imagine how you would feel if someone becomes better simply because you shared.

In giving, realize that it is very difficult at first because you cannot see the direct impact of what you are trying to do, but be hopeful that the dots would one day connect. You do not need to know how they would connect, but in the future, it would. So be hopeful that more would come your way because you gave more. And never think that keeping the resources to yourself would in any way make you better than others.

The people with a lot of resources are not necessarily better than us in any sphere of life and that should always tell us that it is not about the resources we have, but what we do with what we have. And when you give what you have, it would one day come to you in a bigger and better fashion that you ever expected. So continue to share and give today.

Give your time, your money, and your love to everyone. Never seek for what you would get back, but seek to help make an impact by giving. Giving has never made any man poorer, and you cannot be the first at that. So give more and expect less. It is difficult, but we can do it. Thanks and God Bless.

In Every Situation, Be Hopeful
It can be very difficult to be hopeful in some situations. Everything around us seems to be following out of place and we begin to doubt ourselves. During this time, it is very easy to lose every drop of hope that we have in us. But it is important to realize that hope is most needed at such times when we cannot clearly see a path ahead.

When you are hopeful, you continue to give in everything that you have believing that something, in the end, would click. It might not click the way you wanted it, but it would definitely be something even more interesting than what you had planned out. In being hopeful, you continue to give in your best even when it does not look like it would work out.

In being hopeful, you give the best that you can while believing that God is in control. You need to have hope in something and it better be in God. With God, the path to success for us is such that we cannot connect looking forward, the path does not make sense while we are going through it, but in the end, we realize that we do not want to exchange any path of it. We realize that we are in a place much better than we ever imagined.

So as you begin to start your life today, realize that this world does not conform to the linear sequence of activities and that some of the things you have planned would also not follow as you expected. Because it did not go as you expected does not mean it is not going well, it means something better is ahead. And in hoping, you trust that God is the person creating the other plan. So whatever situation you find yourself today, be hopeful.

And in being hopeful, you do not have to be hopeful only when things are not going as planned, you also have to be hopeful even when things are going as planned. Be hopeful that God would make the experience even more than you imagined it. So realize today that no matter what you lose in life, never lose hope. Hope is what every one of us should never lose no matter the situation.

When things are wonderful, be hopeful that things can and would be better. And even when things are not going as planned, be hopeful that a different path is being created for you and that in the end, you would be happy you followed that path. So start every day with the renewed hope that today would be better, better than yesterday, and even when you cannot clearly see the path ahead, you would keep going because you have hope. Hope in God.

Thanks and God Bless.

Write Anyway
So many people tell me that they want to write but always have something that holds them back. I also experience things that sometimes prevent me from writing. Some thoughts like this is not good enough, or who do you think you are to write and give advice to people. But for me, one thing keeps me going and it is that if what I am writing would help even if it is one person today. And that one person can be me.

So for you out there, yes you, you can write with the intention to help another person and it is okay if that one person is you. People tend to relate more to your story when it is personal and you would be suprised at how many people are in the same situation as you are. And imagine helping just one more person. So in writing, it is the hope that your message would touch at least one person that should keep you going.

And it does not have to be perfect in the beginning. It does not have to be perfect at all. Sometimes, we need what is imperfect to bring out the best in us. So as you start today, if you have ever had the intention to write about something, start now, start today. You do not need to write a very long message, you can start very small. Sometimes small is even better. So whatever is stopping you before should stop you no more. Even the best writers still have times when they are not sure of how people would receive their messages.

As it applies to writing, so it applies to other areas of our lives, whatever it is you want to do, just start small, but dream big. Imagine people all over the world reading what you have written and imagine it changing their lives. We can all not change the entire world as some people have done, but we can sure make a little impact, and in the world of the person we have changed, it means the whole world to them.

So start today, remember you do not need to have the perfect writing. You just need to have something that someone can relate to. In the end, what matters is our intention in what we are trying to do. Try changing the world, and you might achieve it. Never try at all, and you already know the answer. Take your time and start something today. The world awaits you. Have a blessed day.

Love With All Your Heart
In life, one of the most difficult things we can do is to love with all our hearts. We hear so many stories of people who have loved with all their hearts and got disappointed in the end. We look at those and say to ourselves that we do not want to be like that, we carefully leap through life loving just a little to make sure our heart is not broken and also hopefully live a happy life.

But what is life and love if we do not give it our all? I ask this question because in the end, it matters that we give it our all to everything that we do, whether it be to love someone or anything else we do. In loving with all our heart, we understand that we give not only because we expect the other person to give to us, but because it is what makes us a better human. So many times, people underestimate the value that can be gained when we love with all our hearts and as such, so many people do not do that.

And also most people love for the wrong reasons and when you love for the wrong reasons not matter how much you love, it would not make any difference in our lives. It is important to realize that before you love anyone, you have a great reason for doing that and let that reason be what pushes you to love. As such, you love for the right reasons. So many times, we imagine a wonderful life for ourselves, but we try as much as we can to take away the part where we would have to sacrifice something in return.

Loving with all our heart should begin with us having God as the foundation of our love and when you love with God as your foundation, know that wherever the love ends, it is best for everyone. Know that things might not always go as planned but when we continuously seek and have God, that everything in the end would be alright no matter how we can imagine it. So take your time today and love for the right reasons.

Love might not be only about loving your spouse, it goes to loving the people you interact with everyday, your job, and everything around you. Loving without reserve and believing that whatever happens in the end was always meant to happen. So keep going and love for the right reasons. You do not need to care what other people think or do to you. In the end, it would be worth it and it would matter that we loved with all that we can.

Take care and God Bless.

Help Someone Today
The world is full of so many good things only if we search for the good things. The world is so much in a lot of trouble these days that if we do not look for the good part of it, we might forever be lost in the bad things of life. As much as we are facing a lot of challenges, the need to help one another cannot be overemphasized.

A lot of people believe that to help others is to financially help them, but no, it is sometimes as simple as smiling at that person you see everyday. For some people, it could be as simple as taking a few minutes to check up on them and you would realize that you have brightened their day. We do not need to do grand gestures before we help, every little bit counts.

Looking back in your life and where you are now, it is sometimes the little things that have made the important impact in our lives. Helping others is something that keeps going forward no matter how small it is. You can simply do anything small today to help another person. In life, it is important to continue to realize that together, we can achieve more. Imagine how the world would be if we together help each other out.

Realize once again that helping others does not have to be something big. It could be as small as a phone call to cheer the person up. Anything towards helping another person matters because you never know where it would end. And realize that anything is not too small. When people ask why I write so often, I say I hope it helps at least one person today so that the world can be a better place because of the article.

So no matter what you are doing, try and help others. You do not need to help in a bad way. You can simply help from the bottom of your heart and that is enough. Realize also that sometimes, you might want to help and not be able to, and that is also fine. Just have the intention to help and it would come back to you. People sometimes do not see the link of how them helping can come back to them, but you have to believe in something higher than you and that the dots would eventually connect.

Nothing done with a good intention goes to waste. The good we do comes back to us, always. So start today with the intention to help at least one person, and remember it does not have to be something big. Small also is okay. Take care and God Bless.

Your Why Matters
When you start out on a journey, it is very difficult to estimate how far or how great you would go. But one thing is for certain, no matter where you end, if your reason for starting is great, you would arrive at a point where you would have become a much better version of yourself. I have realized that so many times people are on the fast lane moving ahead, but the reason for getting started is so fake that no matter how early they arrive, their presence would not make it any better.

Your reason for everything you do is very important. That should serve as the monitor you look at everyday. Start out daily with a goal that makes you a much better person. Goals are important and that is why we need to start with very good ones. So many times, people achieve great things but do not really know it when they started. They simply had a fine goal and they kept going. And one day, it led to something great, much more than they can ever imagine.

So start everyday with a real goal, a goal that makes you and the entire world a better place. In following your goals, you would reach a place no one has ever imagined a simple goal like yours would achieve. A goal helps create an identity for you and that is very important especially in the world where we are in now. Simply ensure that you put in effort to make your goal happen. It is hard for others to help you make it happen. You have to start first and others would follow suite. Until then you keep going.

Your why is important. Keep pushing and keep refining your why until you can go days without thinking of anything else beyond your goals. Life would be great for us all if we follow our whys and be true to ourselves. You can start now. Define your why and keep going. Thanks and God Bless
