Why The Right Time Is Now
So many times we postpone what we want to do simply because we believe the time is not right. For some people, the time is not right, but for other people, there could be no better time than now. And in fact, most of the time, we simply are the ones running away from the right time. There is a saying that the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago and the second best time is NOW. So no matter what you have been postponing, it is much better to get it started now than to keep waiting for the right time.

In determining what the right time is, we need to understand that it is better to get started with the little that we have than to keep waiting for all the factors to come together and be perfect. Sometimes, we can only find perfect in the inperfect activities of life. So you need to realize that as much as we want everything to be perfect, we also need to start somewhere. In choosing between action and inaction, it is always better to start something no matter how small.

Even when the time is not right, start something small that pushes you forward than you currently are. It is important to also realize that motion with mission leads a man to no success. Not only does moving without a goal causes trouble, you simply gain momentum and it is for doing nothing. So while also trying to do something, do something that puts your future goal in perspective. Just keep pushing and keep going everyday.

The time to start is never perfect. Well, some few people break this rule and have everything perfect, but a lot of other people, you need to keep trying with every small opportunity you get to become a much better version of yourself. Realize that a car that does not move would gather dust and even the dust would become so much that it can affect the car. So inaction in itself is a problem.

So the message here is to always look for small tasks that push your goal forward, not looking for that single moment where everything would be right. By trying more times, the chances are better than trying only at few times. So whatever you have been postponing, start now, start today. Keep going, keep pushing and even thought the perfect moment might not be now, I believe if you keep pushing towards your goal, one day you would achieve it. Never give in to postponing what can be done today. Do it and get it over with.

Thanks and God Bless.

Be That Friend
Every day, we seek to find friends and partners who would really like us as friends and would help in any way they can to make us better. Everyone seeks this whether you realize it or not. However, as some of us would realize, it is sometimes very difficult to find. But one thing I have realized is that never ask someone else to be that type of friend, you be that type of friend.

When you seek and you not find, be that thing. As much as we keep complaining that good friends are rare, have you ever considered asking yourself if you are a good friend? Good friends help us grow, and no matter how much we want to win the battle alone, it is sometimes necessary to have people by our side who can help us from time to time.

They say if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go further, seek friends and partners. It is important to realize even if the environment does not have the type of friends we seek, we should ourselves be that kind of friend because in the end, we ourselves are the system and the environment. And when the environment is bad, it simply says something about us. So I ask you today, what type of a friend are you?

Are you the type that helps your friends grow? Do you seek to make others better than you met them? What exact type of a friend are you? Until you are able to define what type of a friend you are, it might be difficult to say that you do not find the type of friends that you seek. Because when you define the type of friend you are, that would define the type of people you work with, and if the type of people you work with does not match the type of friend that you say that you are, then there is a problem.

We can continue to blame and say that others have not been good to us, but have we been good to them? What have you done that warrants the other person to consider you their best friend. Everyone wants a person who can help them become better, not a person who would take away the little that is left. Whatever type of friend you are, realize today that you can be much better, and better than what the society thinks you can be.

You can be that friend everyone wants to be like, and if people around you do not see you as that person, then that is their fault and their problem. Realize that not everyone has to like your personality because in wanting everyone to like us, there in lies another problem. Seek to be a good person and keep getting better everyday. Everyone of us can be better.

And when you cannot find friends who can help, be that friend to your other friends and ensure that you do the best that you can to help others become better. Do not ask what your friends can do for you, ask what you can do for your friends. We all need to start now. Thanks and God Bless.

How To Become A Software Developer — Part 2
After having your why and a language to back it up, the next step is to seek ways to learn that language. Sometimes, people learn too much theory that they are not able to develop any practical application and sometimes some people dwell too much on the practical aspect that they do not understand why they do what they do. So you need to strike a balance between understanding the theory and the practicals of what you are reading.

To begin to learn a language, make sure to have researched the best resources to learn that language with, then set a project in mind you want to accomplish. This is necessary so that you do not focus solely on learning the theory without practicalizing. As you learn, you apply what you have learned on your practical project. This would ensure that you not only read, but you are also applying what you have read.

Moving forward, as much as you would like to accomplish this goal, some issues in life come up that make us move away from what we originally planned for our lives and as such, it is always important to track our progress over a period of time. And one of the best ways I have found towards achieving this goal is by developing an OKR.

An OKR is an Objective and Key Results Framework where you state your WHATs and your HOWs. It enables you to clearly define what you want to achieve and over what period of time you want to achieve it so that you can always assess yourself if you are on track. This article does not go too detailed about an OKR so you can check for more information on the Internet on how to develop an OKR.

After understanding your WHY, knowing what language to learn, and choosing a way to learn and practice what you have learned. The next thing you need is to develop some personal habits that would keep you going no matter how tough the battle gets. Sometimes you would look at your code and see no error while your computer keeps screaming it has found an error. During those times, you need to know that you are not alone. You would need to have the qualities of passion, patience, and perseverance towards ensuring that you make it work.

And while you try and it does not work, do what I call changing perspective. When you are on something for the past few hours, do yourself a favour and switch it off. Move on to something entirely different. While on the other things, you mind processes this problem in the background so that when you get back to solving it, it becomes a bit less difficult than when it was before.

Also never forget to have friends and join programming communities that would push you forward. The journey can be won alone but it would be more interesting if you have people around who you share your problems with. But take some time to make sure you work on the problem before consulting others. Because one day, you might be the only one who knows how to fix it, so learn how to be able to work with seeking too much guidance.

And finally share what you know with the world. No matter how simple what you think you know, it might save someone elsewhere. So take your time and teach the next person. Make a small video, write an article, organize a meeting with friends, and try any other way possible. Teach as many people as you can, it simply makes you a better learn.

In the end, becoming a programmer is not a one way trip and many people have taken different paths to the same destination. For me, this is the path I wish I learned earlier and I hope it helps somebody today.

Thanks and God Bless.

Another Opportunity At Life, Grab It
Have you ever wondered what happens to the goals, ideas and ambitions of people when they die? The goals and ambitions for that person also dies. The rest that is left is the impact of what they have been able to do, nothing more, nothing less. As such, this is a great lesson for us who are still here on earth to ask ourselves what we are doing with our goals and ambitions everyday. Are we still telling ourselves that we have more time or that the time is not right?

Look here, the time might never be right and sometimes you are just not looking which is why you are not seeing that indeed the right time is now. Whatever category you fall into, realize that today is another opportunity to right the wrongs of yesterday and achieve the goals you have long waited for. Because if you do not achieve your goals, in the end, they would just be ideas. Ideas no one ever used.

So understand that reading this today means that you have another opportunity at life to become much better and pursue your goals and dreams. Challenges would come, you bet. But the most important thing to remember is that only the ones who try truly know if they could have won or not. If you never try, you never know. Whatever is holding you back would not be enough excuse on your deathbed. So go out now and make today count.

Realize that you just have to take it a day at a time, let every single day count and in the end, your life would have meant something not only to the people around you, but to yourself. It seems as if our bodies have been made to realize its maximum potential, so when you not push the boundaries, you are under utilizing your system and in that case, you would have no one to blame but you. But know that blame helps no one, it simply moves the problem around, it does not fix it.

So start today to see every moment you have as an opportunity to make something that would be useful not only to you but to the people around you. In the end, our most impact is the impact we have on the people around us. So keep pushing, keep going, know that you can beat the odds and come out the other side successful. How did I know that? Because well, no one truly knows. So start now and keep pushing.

See today as an opportunity to try it all out. Keep the fears aside, everyone is afraid of one thing or the other. Know that bravery is not the absence of fear, it is in controlling the fear when we are most afraid. That is bravery. So never let anything stop you from achieving your dream. Not the community, not the system, not even you. Keep going and keep pushing.

The opportunity to make it happen is here. Grab it and make the best of it. The world awaits your victory. Thanks and God Bless.

How To Become A Software Developer - Part 1
Things happen in life that we sometimes cannot explain looking forward, but looking back, we can be able to put the pieces together and make sense of it. Due to this, I would like to share based on my personal experience on how I believe anyone who wants to be a Software Developer can proceed.

First and foremost is to have a clear and ambitious reason for why you want to be a software developer. Clear and ambitious are quite subjective so everyone does not have to agree with your ideas, but ensure that your reasons are strong enough. Anyone might ask why this should be the first thing to begin with.

Well, I have seen quite a number of people who have stopped programming simply because they had or felt that it was too hard to continue, but if you have a strong why, it is easier to keep pushing than simply give up when you face an obstacle. As such, the first thing you need is a strong reason. Some reasons I have found quite discouraging are “I want to become a developer to make money or I want to be a developer to create apps”. Well, are all developers not working for this reason you might ask? Well, quite a lot of successful developers simply have all these as an output of what they have done, not this being their main focus.

Google did not start out thinking let’s make a lot of money. No, let’s connect the world with the information they need and in the best way possible was the dream and now, the money and everything they have is an output of that goal. And also about developing apps, you are not only developing apps, make sure you are solving a problem. It is better to have an app that solves people’s problems than an app that simply is on the store with no real value. Remember, it is better to have a simple app that solves people’s problems than a complex app that helps no one.

Once we have our reason in check, the next most important thing I believe you should do is to research on the language you want to learn. Yes, you want to be a master of all programming languages and that is fine, but first, you need to start somewhere. Take a week or two to consider what the internet is saying about all the programming languages and the languages suited to go along with your reason for programming. If you want to be a data scientist, Python or R might be your language, if you want to develop web apps, Javascript might be your language, if you want to develop mobile apps, Java might be your language.

Whatever area you want to focus on, take some time to understand why the language you want to choose suites you. This stage is also important because too many times, people choose languages and keep on switching once they hear about a new flavoured language that seems to solve all their problems. They switch to the language and sooner or later realize they want another language. Also when you speak to friends, you want to have a strong reason why you chose your language so anyone does not easily convince you to change the language of your choice without any fundamental reason. So take your time and see what the world says about the language. Take your time on this step as it would determine to a large extent your future as a programmer.

Thanks and God Blesss. Watch out for part 2.

Keep Going, The Goal is Ahead
Looking back at your life 5 to 10 years ago, you realize some seemingly small events that have turned out to shape your life into who you are now. Some of these events you would never want to exchange for anything since it made you a better version of yourself. And one more thing, some of these events you never really enjoyed while they were happening.

This is same to some of the events that are currently happening in our lives. We do not understand why they are happening and we sometimes wish things were different, but it is these activities that would in the end have had the most important impact in our lives. So no matter what you are going through, realize that we cannot connect the dots of our lives looking forward and no matter how much we have our lives planned, the plan can only make sense when we look back at how it all happened.

So while you are still on the journey, keep going. Understand that whatever is happening is for a reason and the only way you can find out is if you never give up on your dream of becoming that version of yourself. You do not have to achieve your goals in one way, many more ways abound. So keep trying and keep pusing. No one but you can decide if the end point is here or not. As you keep going in life, things happen that you wish never happened, but if you let that event stop you, you would never know what lies ahead for you.

So never let fear, thought of what others would say stop you from giving in your all to all that you do everyday. It is important that you realize that it is not compulsory that you know the complete goal now, all you need is the belief that things would go as you want if you keep pushing. You do not need to keep pushing on one thing, remember that. A lot of ways are possible. And when everyone tells you that it is not possible, know within yourself that at that point, you have the option to be just like others or let that be your opportunity to change history.

Realize that whether you try or not, time would go by. Time never waits for no one. Realize that your life keeps moving so all you have to do is to make every minute count by never backing down from the issues of life. No one promised you that the journey would be cool, so why expect the journey to be cool. Understand that the struggle you are going through is the currency you have to pay before you become that person you want to be.

While on your path to becoming that person, never forget to take care of yourself, your health and your family. This is very important. Take care and God bless.

Would It Matter Ten Years From Now?
In the present, we want to have all that we want. But sometimes, some of the things we want might look good for the present but would never have a good impact on our future. Due to this, I sometimes ask myself this question before embarking on any activity, “Would It Matter Ten Years from now?”. And I would like to ask you the same question today.

If that idea you have been thinking of developing never comes into life, what would happen 10 years from now? Would you look back at your life and wish you did move the idea into execution or would you be happy you never did? The answer is yours to answer. For that partner you always wanted to ask for their hands in marriage, would you feel comfortable 10 years from now that you never asked them? Whatever it is you are doing, thinking of doing or hoping to do one day, always ask yourself the question of how important the activity is 10 years from now.

So many atimes, we are too focused on what the present looks like that we never take any action. Realize that you would never remain the same person if you take that bold step and move into doing rather than thinking of doing. Realize that on your death bed, it would never matter. The things you did and you are happy about are the things you would most likely remember and those things you wish you did that you never had time for. Those are all that you would remember.

So decide, which one do you want to have the most? Regrets or good memories. The choice is yours. Start making the wise ones today. Sometimes we focus too much on the present that the future we hope for slips away and sometimes we also focus too much on the future that we never really enjoy what we have. So be careful in using this question. It is important to ask the really important questions that put your entire life in perspective, but you also need to have time to enjoy the present.

So while thinking about the future, think about the present so that you become a person with a balanced life. You neither think too much of the future that you forget what you currently have and you do not think too much of the present that it takes the future away from you. So realize the need to balance and keep improving everyday.

Life is both short and long. It is your perspective that determines which one you fall under. So enjoy life to its best by understanding that the future is important in our thoughts and we should ensure that the present does not run by while we think of the future. Take care of both the present and the future. Have a blessed day.

Set Out Small Time Daily
For anything you want to achieve, it takes time to be successful. But sometimes, we underestimate how much we can achieve in a day and overvalue what we can achieve in a year. We feel like spending just a few minutes every day is not as productive as spending the entire whole day working on a problem and what we tend to do is to keep searching for that full day every day until we do not have a day to execute that task.

But what if you simply spend just a few minutes every day on a simple problem you have been working on? If you spend just 1 hour every day on a task, in a month, you would have spent 30 hours working on that problem. Spending 30 hours on a problem seems like spending the entire day, no sleeping, eating or doing anything beyond just that one activity.

And one of the reasons why we do not see the small times is because time flies and we sometimes do not realize how much time in the day we have spent. So to set out small-time daily, you also need to hold yourself accountable every day. Have a journal and write when you achieve your daily activity and mark yourself wrong on a day when you do not follow up.

At the end of the month, you would be surprised at how much hours you have spent. So start now and start today, set out small-time every day to work on something that has been pushing you. You can do this.

Thanks and God Bless

Think Well Of Others
Make it a point to every day think well of others. Sometimes, things look so apparent that we think the other person is wrong. Remember when was the last time you tried to initiate a conversation with a friend and the friend did not respond. You assumed they were ignoring you only to later realize that they were listening to something else the whole time you were talking and they did not hear anything you said.

Well, it might not be the same exact case as yours, but one thing is for you. Think well of others and it would come back to you. In cases when you do not understand a conversation, take time to make clarifications. And when you assume something about others, assume the best. Assuming the best about others sets our mind at rest. We believe that we are all humans and can definitely make mistakes.

When people make mistakes, do not label them as that mistake. Realize that humans are humans and we will always make mistakes. Seek to understand the other person’s perspective and in the end, you realize everyone was doing it for a good reason. Because in the end, man does everything he does for a certain good reason, find that and make sure the other person’s reason would make everyone happy in the end.

So as you start your day today interacting with people, give people the benefit of the doubt and realize that mistakes are inevitable and we only become better when we make and correct them. We do not become better by not making mistakes, we get better by realizing the mistakes and taking steps to correct them. Making mistakes might be synonymous with not trying something new. You simply have been living in your pigeon hole of comfort and remember that success is on the other side of the comfort zone.

We will all make mistakes. That is inevitable, so make them as fast as you can, and also learn from them as fast as you can. The lessons are more important than the mistakes. When you learn from your mistakes, you become a better person that you were when you made the mistake. So start now, see others as humans who can make mistakes and learn to think well of everyone. Our future together depends on us living together. So think well of everyone you meet today. Thanks and God bless.

Seek God Always
In the hassle of our every day lives, we sometimes forget what is most important. The activities of every day take over our thinking and mindset and we forget what is most important. Realize today that the most important thing in our lives is God. No matter what you believe, God is there and is always ready to help whenever we reach out to Him. It is important to seek God always and not to wait until we are in a certain condition before we seek God.

As we set time aside to relax and exercise, it is important to also set time aside to know God. This is beyond the normal routine we have every day. It goes beyond that. We need to always realize that God is indeed in control of our affairs. A lot of people realize and know God when in dire situations, but we should always seek to know Him before we have circumstances we cannot overturn. In life, it is important to always have God.

No matter what you believe, sometimes our efforts are never enough. We need help. You can call it luck, but just know that it is God. We need God in every situation. So as you start your day today, remember not to forget that in every situation, place God in it. Seek God in all your actions and your activities and you would find Him. When you focus on God, God focuses back on you and then focuses on you, everything would be alright.

Realize that if everyone on earth was to gather to give you something God never willed for you, it would not happen. And if everyone is against you and God is for you, then you already have everything you need. Never forget that God is the most important element in your life and until you have Him, you can have something, but you would have much more if you have God.

Having God transcends simply staying in religious homes all day, it is in incorporating God into every single thing you do. Put Him in your choices, in your decisions, and in everything. When you put God in the small things, the small things become the big things and God is simply there with you all the way. Make your reason for doing everything God and you would never regret a day in your life.

Things might not look as clear as you want them when you seek God, you would have to simply believe and continue to know that God’s plan exceeds your plan, and you would have to keep believing and keep going. Seeking God means that believing that God would make it happen even when it does not appear possible. But the first thing in seeking God is that you have to put in the work. Put in the work, then seek God. It would make sense in the end.

And remember, if it does not still make sense, then it is not the end. Thanks and God Bless.

The Time Is Now
The future is tomorrow but we sometimes forget that tomorrow is already here and we are all leaving in the tomorrows of our yesterdays. So whatever it is you planned to do tomorrow, tomorrow is here already and what you need to do is to make the best of the time you have now. The only moment better than now is yesterday, and you cannot have it back, can you?

As long as we cannot have our yesterdays back, all we can do is to do the best that we can with all that we have now. Realize some of the things you wanted to start a few years back and see how many years have gone by and you are still yet to start on your dream. Remember that the only thing that keeps changing is time and you can never have it back once it is gone. So forget all the mistakes you have designed to hold you back and simply get out there and make the best for yourself. You can indeed start whatever you planned to do before today. Right now.

In the end, the only thing that would be left are the regrets that you wish you did that thing. But now guarantees that you do not have any regrets. Make do of what you have at the moment and go for what you have always told yourself you would get for yourself. Whatever it is, give it a try today. You can never become better until you begin to try out those things you are not comfortable doing. In sticking to things that make you comfortable, you remain in the same space and the same life, but trying out new things is the only way you can get yourself where you hope to be.

Remember, comfort does not make you grow. It is in the pursuit of new challenges and opportunities that your greatest chance of becoming that being you have always been dreaming of. Dreams are good because they bring our thoughts into the theatre of our mind, making us the same audience and the viewers, but only actions can make us the implementers of our dream. No one can see your dream if you do not start something and there is no better time to start something than to start today. Keep going and keep pushing.

You can have what you dream of if you can give in what is required. For what is required, you have to start now. There is no guarantee it would be easy, but in the end, you would have traveled into a situation that has modified your mind and your spirit and at that stage, you would love yourself better because you are now a better person. Stay blessed and keep going. Now is the time. Thanks and God Bless.

Everything Happens For A Reason, Find It
When things around us are going our way, we are happy, but when things are not going as planned, we are not happy. But do you know that everything whether good or bad happens for a reason and what you need to do is to find that reason? So many a times, we think things just happen, but when you look closer, there is a hidden reason why what happened did happen and in finding the reason, you realize that not everything that happens to you is out there to harm you.

When you hear the story of successful people, you become more impressed by their lives after understanding how many failures they had to endure and it always seems like a repeating pattern in the lives of successful people. They do not get it right all the time and it seems like the times they did not win was preparing them for the time they became successful. Something about those moments when they failed has made them a much better version of themselves than they would have been if they simply had the success without the failures.

Failures are what makes success a lot more fun. So the more challenges you face, the more you become prepared for the bigger challenges ahead. And in preparing for the challenges ahead, you need to understand that nothing is really ever random and what is happening today is for a certain reason. You might not know what the reasons are, but you would do yourself well if you learned by being patient and following through on the challenges.

Not every success should come from a failure and as such, even in our success, we have great lessons to learn from that. Lessons come in different ways and patterns and we should always realize that everything is for a reason and even though we cannot clearly see it, it is there. Realize that your lack of understanding of an area is not the absence of knowledge in that area, but your lack of awareness of that knowledge. So for everything you do not understand, the reason is out there.

Most importantly, you have to live life with the belief that something is happening that you fully cannot understand and when things are good or bad, believe that God has a greater plan and always be patient and happy with life. In the end, all the dots connect and we understand why everything happened. That delay might be saving you from something more difficult and the presence of that person or thing in your life might be showing you that the time to smile and love that person is now. They may not be around much longer.

Thanks and God Bless.

Start A Gratitude Journal
Count your blessings one by one and you would never be able to name them all. This might sound impossible to think but start and realize how many things you have in your life that you should indeed be grateful for. I started a gratitude journal a while back and what I usually thought of writing in my journal every day were the nice things that happened to me at the end of the day. But a gratitude journal is much more than that.

A gratitude journal makes you clearly see your blessings rather than simply ignoring them and while seeing your blessings, you learn to appreciate the great things of life many more people are seeking but you currently have. But sometimes, we also need to be grateful for the things that did not also go as planned because it could have been worse. Way worse than you could have ever imagined.

So starting a gratitude journal is not only about enumerating all those things that made you laugh but also those things that could have been worse. Appreciate God for every single thing that you have. Some things you consider issues are keeping the really big issues away. So be happy about how life is and keep pushing every day to become more grateful.

It is important that we all start a way to be grateful every day. For some of us, it is by writing what we are grateful for every day and for some of us, it is by setting an alarm every day at a certain time to be grateful for something. Whichever way you decide to go is fine, start a journal and be grateful. Being grateful not only makes you happy but also lets you understand how fortunate you are no matter your situation. It reminds us that it could have been worse.

For many of us reading this article, we should be grateful for having access to the internet with a mobile device or a laptop to read this. How many more people have no access to electricity talk more of having internet? In being grateful, we see life for what it truly is, that everything that happens is for a reason and that the dots always connect no matter how everything looks.

By being grateful, we allow ourselves to be in charge of our emotions and reactions to the events of life. Rather than being angry and annoyed, we are grateful that whatever situation we are in could have been a lot worse than it is. So be grateful every day and start a gratitude journal. In the end, you would be happy you did. Thanks and God Bless.

On Becoming A Better Version Of Yourself
What exactly does it mean for one to become better? To answer this, I started by seeking out the definition of better and here it goes

To improve on or surpass (an existing or previous level or achievement)

And for us to surpass our existing levels of achievements, sometimes all we need to do is to look at what is stopping us from achieving our goals. It is in identifying what is stopping you that sometimes serve as a path to surpassing your current achievement. So to begin becoming better, you have to ask yourself what exactly is limiting you and what are your fears?

Limits are indeed the limits we set for ourselves for indeed what the heart can conceive is always possible in that realm. So make it possible here. Nothing ever really is impossible, you simply do not just have what it takes to achieve it. And before you move forward, you need to know what is holding you back and some of the things that are truly holding you back are things you can break out of.

To become better, what are the top 10 things you have been most afraid of doing in a very long time. Start from the smallest and in striking out what you are afraid of, you get new energy and boost to move onto some other things you felt were impossible. To begin to achieve our goals, realizing what your limits are and breaking them is one of the best ways to go.

Some people achieve their goals by doing new tasks. But sometimes, all you need is to realize what those tasks that are keeping you back are, then stop them. If you believe you cannot do something, it sometimes hold other parts of your life in ransom and until you are able to break that thing, you might not be able to begin to achieve fulfilment in other areas of your life.

So in becoming a better version of ourselves, our limits are the first things we should do away with. Whatever we believe we can or we cannot, we are absolutely correct, Henry Ford said and would you not like to be correct on the things that improve your life. So listen, what is stopping you is the passport to your achievement, and until you stop what is stopping you, you would be stopped.

So start today by analyzing some of the things you have told yourself are not possible and begin to break them. Breaking them leads to breaking some other goals and breaking those other goals lead to more goals until you have completely achieved whatever it is you set your mind on. And to start sometimes, removing your limits is not always about doing new things, it is also in stopping some of the things that you do that limits you. You can begin with that.

We all want to become better every day and some of the things stopping us are the beliefs we have continuously create for ourselves. You are better than what you think and you can be much better. So go out there and become that better version of yourself. It starts with you. Seek God and keep going. Thanks and God Bless.

Put God First And You Would Meet God First
So many uncertainties in life make us want to seek the path that we are most sure of. As such, we take the path least painful to get what we need or we simply take the path that gives the highest level of reward. But sometimes, we need to be comfortable in the uncertainty. But to be comfortable in the uncertainties of life is to have something greater than the uncertainties to depend on. And that is God. No matter what situation you find yourself, make God the reason why you do everything you do.

Sometimes, you do not see any clear reason why you should. But sometimes, dealing with God involves believing even there is no physical evidence to support what you want to do. Realize that whatever we do on Earth, there is God watching over us all and He alone can make things better than they are even if we do not understand. For God, you do not need to understand the plan, you simply have to believe.

And to enjoy that relationship with God, you have to give in 100% in your trust and your relationship. No one leg in and the other out. All legs are in. That is how you seek God. So whatever situation you might be facing or going through now, realize that only God can make the situation better. Even if the situation is better, only God can create the best situation. But believing in God goes beyond simply seeking without putting in the effort, believing in God is about putting all the effort you believe that you can, but also knowing that the final solution is from God.

So as you start your day today, seek God in everything that you do. It might be as simple as going to the gym or going to see your friends. Seek God to always be a part of your journey. Things might not be as you want them, but never stop seeking God. He is with us all. He never forsakes us so we should seek Him.

We might want to rely on our own powers but would it not be best to rely on the power of He who created us? So live life knowing that God is in control, do and be the best that you can be, but never give in. Keep going. It might not look as nice as you planned, but only God can change things for the better. So seek him. Thanks and God Bless.

Have Faith
I want to tell you a story of two men on a boat. While traveling on the boat, one of the men started destroying a part of the boat. The common sense mentality is the man trying to destroy the boat must be a wicked person. Well, I sound as if he is not a wicked person, but what other explanation do I have to support a person who destroys a part of a boat while the boat is in motion?

So many times in life, things happen that we simply cannot see beyond the normal human imagination of how things are. We cannot see any further. And in these cases, what I always say to everyone is make your intentions clean and keep going. God is with you on your journey. And if you believe that and continue to do the best that you can do, in the end, it always happens. The best always happens.

So back to the story. Still wondering why the man was destroying the boat? It so happened that the town they were headed has a king who is seizing all boats that look good and nice. If the boat reaches that town still looking good, the king would seize it and the owners of the boat would not have any more means of livelihood. But if the boat is destroyed, the king would not fancy such a boat and the poor owners of the boat would still keep their boat and probably repair it for a few bucks. Fewer than how much they would need to get a completely new boat.

This same incidence sometimes happens in our lives when things happen that logically appear to be bad, but in the end, turns out to be the best thing to have ever happened to us. So whatever you are going through today, the most important thing you can do is to have faith. Faith in God that there is a grand design in whatever is happening, that what is yours would never pass you by and what has passed you was never meant for you.

Having this mindset makes us realize that we should give in our best every day, but never expect that it is our best that brings greatness. NO. It is by the will of God. Man proposes and God disposes. So when you have given the best that you can and things do not still fall in place as you expected, never give up. Keep going and keep pushing because you might not currently understand the plan, in the end, you would understand the plan and you would be grateful for it.

Look back at some of the accomplishments you have and see how they came to happen. Some came logically but some others came through ways you never imagined. So never give up and never let the situation of things dampen your love. God is in control, all you have to do is to trust Him and do the best that you can. With God, all things are possible. Be hopeful.

Thanks and God Bless

Smile Always
We wish things fall into place all the time, but sometimes, they do not fall into place and all you wish you could do is to give up and cry. You believe you gave it your all but somehow, it still did not work out. Know that these situations would not be uncommon in your life as long as you strive beyond your comfort zone. You are not familiar with the way things are, so you sometimes make mistakes.

Know that it is okay to sometimes make mistakes. You cannot undo the mistakes so all you can do is to learn from it, smile that life has decided to grace you with its lessons. You know that if you learn the lesson well, you would come out on the other side a better student and you would be grateful for it.

So while you are learning the lessons of life, give back by smiling. Realize that you can only become better if you learn the lessons involved. So do not despair, smile always, smile often and know that it could have been worse. If things are not worse than they are, smile, learn the lessons and keep pushing forward. Your smile not only helps you, it helps others around you.

Realize how life would feel if you take its lessons with gratitude rather than complain about the lessons. The most important thing to know is that life lessons would always make us stronger if we are calm and patient, learning every single trick and lesson that we can learn.

Never give in, never give up, smile today, and know that it would be better in the end. If you are not smiling, it is not yet over. Let smile change your orientation about life, see life in a much better way. Smile not only at yourself, but smile to friends and family. It helps raise their spirit and with that, you have helped another person.

Helping people is not always in the very big things. Sometimes, it is in the small things like smiling at our colleagues, family, and friends. They are part of what makes the big things count. Smile at your children, your wife, your spouse, and everyone around you. In whatever situation, smile and know that you would become better if you persevere and learn. Smile, learn and keep going. That should be our mantra. Thanks and God Bless.

Listen More
If there is anything I have learned more than anything, it is to listen more than I speak. Well, a few friends might disagree with this, but trust me, I have improved. Looking back at my time as a kid, I always wondered why the big difference between good parents and somewhat not very good parents and one of the things I realize is that good parents listen more than anything.

Yes, parents explain that they have more experience than the kids and so the kids should simply shut up and listen. In some cases, experience pays, but in other cases, it simply holds us back in the past and would keep us there if we let it. To experience something in the past is not a guarantee that it would happen again in the future and as such, the most important thing to take away from our experiences should be the life lessons and these lessons are not meant to keep us in the past.

While speaking makes you iterate what you know, listening is a way to learn something new and if by the end of every day, you have not learned anything new, you definitely need to look again at how you spend your time. Learning is the only way we become better versions of ourselves and how can we learn if we do not listen. To believe that knowledge is achieved only through position and age is a wrong notion and as such, we should realize that we can learn from anyone of any age and any position, so when anyone seeks to speak, let us give them that space to speak so that we can at least learn something new.

In listening more than we speak, it is not only about keeping quiet and not giving in any input, it is about paying close attention to everyone around you because silence is itself a form of communication and you can only understand what the message is if you listen. Listening is something we should do more in every area of our lives.

Relationships can be much better if we could only listen to what our spouse or our kids have to say. For a second, keep calm and simply listen. In organizations, it is important that management not only see numbers and results, organizations need to do more in listening to what everyone in the organization has to say. How can we lead when no one listens to understand? It is important that we seek to create a communication path for everyone around us. It is important to realize that without communicating, we would not have goals achieved and without achieving goals, life would indeed be meaningless and the simplest way to communicate is to listen.

Listening is very difficult especially when you are in the higher position like a parent or the boss and you would have to listen to what everyone below you has to say. But only when you listen can you emerge a better and a more people-oriented leader. Can anyone lead if he does not understand the needs of the people? And how can you understand the need if you do not listen?

So start today. Let the other person speak, listen carefully, listen for the details, do not listen only to speak, but listen to gain and derive knowledge from the other person. And that is the way to create a better and a just environment. Only then can we indeed achieve better love and relationship. So listen more today. Listen to your friends, your children, your parents, your employees and most importantly to people around you, take time to listen. Thanks and God Bless.

Be A Solution-Oriented Individual
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if there was never any challenge on earth? If everything you ever wanted is the way it is, then none of us would actually ever become rich or successful, because you would have to ask yourself, rich or successful in what? Everyone would have all they ever wanted. As such, it means that things sometimes are not in place so that someone comes along and fixes it. Someone comes along and creates a purposeful solution to that problem.

So as much as we try to blame problems for a lot of the situations on earth, we must also take a step back and realize that it is the problem of the world that has indeed made some people successful and the only way that happened was because they proffered a solution to a problem and until you begin to think of solving problems, the path to success might forever remain a mirage. So to you out there who feels and believes they are surrounded by problems, realize that it might be the pathway to your success.

Well, no one wants problems, but your attitude towards the problem is all that matters. So seek to become a person who sees a problem only with the mindset to fix the problem and never complain about it. Yes, it is human nature to complain, but after complaining for a while, we dust ourselves up and get back to the mindset of fixing the problem, to the mindset that believes that the problem is simply a pathway to the solution.

Until we begin to think that problems have solutions and that the solution would not fall into our laps, we have to go out there and work for it, until then would our problems begin to bow and flee. So many things look like the norm today and we feel like we might not be able to change it, imagine sometime ago, the slave trade in some parts of the world was like a norm, but today no one dares starts that without the fear of being arrested soon.

So it is important to realize that just because society does not seek to solve a problem does not mean that we also have to follow and be mute, realize that in solving our problems can we become better versions of ourselves. And seeking solutions does not have to be in the very big things, it starts with the very little things we underestimate. From ourselves. What problem do you think you are currently facing and would like to overcome? Begin with a solution based mindset and keep going from there.

In the end, it matters that we realize that problems are there for a reason, to be solved. Problems are not there to become the status quo. They are there to be solved and then move on to a bigger problem. So realize that in solving a problem, you do not always become problem free, you sometimes simply elevate to a better problem. So take your time today and begin to live with a solution-focused mindset. Thanks and God Bless

Check Up On Your Friends And Family
It is important to realize that humans are busier than ever these days with the number of notifications and messages we have to respond and attend to every day and as such, it becomes very difficult on some very small but very important issues of life like checking up on our family and friends.

To a very great extent, your family and friends would either make you or break you and as such, it is important to keep good ties with our friends and family so that we might be able to get one or two wonderful things out of the relationship. And sometimes, it is important to realize that by checking up on our friends, we are going a long way to ensuring that someone out there feels loved and cared for. Take your time to call and check up on your family and friends. It is important we do that because sometimes we do not have all the time in the world and when we believe we have time, the other person might not be there anymore.

So we all realize how busy we can all be, but we should learn to take some time out to talk to our family and friends. We all need it. Humans are social and therefore the need to interact with others is always a need and a necessity. To feel our time with wonderful relationships means that we make our time more valuable and memorable. So take some time out today to remember your family and friends and check up on them. It might be difficult to be consistent with it, but we need to try and make sure that we have done the best that we can do to make our relationships stronger and better.

In the end, it is our family and friends that are our most important resource. Anything can leave us but good friends and families never ever leave us. So never leave your family and friends. Take a few minutes now to check up on them. You never know how much it would mean to the other person. Take care and God Bless.

Let's Face Reality
People say the word impossible does not exist in their dictionary, but for me, I believe even the sentence ‘Let’s face reality’ does not exist in my vocabulary. It is not anything about the grammatical structure of the sentence but mostly about the context in which people always use it. People seem to want to use it to imply that things can just be the way they look and nothing more. But for me, the more I live every day, I realize that things can really change beyond the way they look.

So for me, the idea of saying let’s face reality as a way to tell a person to never dream of bigger things beyond their current circumstances is not acceptable. That things are the way they are does not mean that they cannot become better. For anything that we believe cannot be done, it simply means that we have reached the limit of our thoughts and our imagination and simply because we have reached the limit of our imaginations does not mean that something cannot be better. We simply cannot yet see it.

So for you out there trying to see something way bigger than the way your current situation is, think and imagine big things because, in the end, our reality is subjective and do not let another subject impose its way of things on you. Because it did not work for the other person does not mean it would not work for you. People are different and as such, people can be way greater than the way you can ever assume or make them be.

So it is important to be practical which is to me trying things out without ever simply just hoping and imagining them. So it is important that in dreaming big that you go beyond the lines of imagining and making things happen. But never simply stay within your thoughts that things cannot go beyond our reality. When you interact with a person who lived about 100 years ago, the current life we are living would be nothing short of heaven to them and it was something that someone could never imagine a 100 years ago. So seek to imagine and do things. Do small things and in the end, it becomes the very great things. Do not look for one big moment, the small moments would help make your dream a reality.

So I say to you today to take small steps at being practical, and never give in. Your current situation should never define you. Reality is subjective so create that wonderful life for yourself with God by your side. Take care and God Bless.

It Is In The Little Things
A little every day is what makes a habit. But sometimes we do not consider the little things and as such, we do not realize when they become a part of us. Take a few minutes today and imagine some of the big things that you have been looking forward to. Some of those things look big because we have not taken the time to realize what little things make up that thing. And until we do that, we might not be able to achieve that big thing.

So, in essence, it is important to not only aim for those big moments to do very wonderful things. Any small thing you do can form a part of the big thing, so do the small things well too. To achieve excellence, all you need is to excel in even the smallest things and those are what sums up to form the big things. Also, to become a bad person, you start with very small habits that over time form into the very big things.

So in determining who you want to be in life, you need to know how you spend your time on the little things. The little things also matter. No matter how small, put in the best that you can so that in the end, all you have done is a couple of your best actions here and there and that is what makes the difference. Remember today that the difference is in the little things and make sure to do the little things well. Our success lies in there. Thanks and God Bless.

Ayodele951:
Been following your post here for quiet some times and I would say a job well done Sir. Am an undergraduate Computer science student and am impressive about your posts, it will got me motivated to do a lot during my 6- month I.T period.

With just those few month, have gained alot here and have started programming with Java. But am having problem implementing what have learnt into real use. I even started Android Application Development too but things got complicated on the way. And it getting me frustrated and I don't wanna give up yet.

Please I wouldn't mind if you can mentor me and put me through somethings. Sir.

I am really glad to hear that you find the articles useful.

Would definitely love to work with you sir. Kindly chat me up on 07069414970.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon boss.

Follow Excellence
Follow Excellence and success would follow you pants down. These words I heard from the movie 3 Idiots but it did not make any sense to me then. I watched it while as an Undergraduate, but watching the movie again now made me realize some of the things I never did realize earlier. That it is easy to follow in everyone’s footsteps but very difficult to find a path for ourselves which is the most important thing we should be doing.

You see, being familiar and doing things that are familiar are always the easier things to do every day. Remember the last time you did something that took you out of your comfort zone, something that pushed you so much you became better in your life. Well, a lot of us cannot remember. We seek to have the normal and familiar life. The life of everyone. Have a stable job, get a stable income. Do not get me wrong, these are not bad goals. But how many people changed the world doing that?

You can have a day job, but never let your goal and accomplishments in life become conforming to others. When you do, you depart the world just being like every other person. No significant impact and no way for people to remember you. You were too much like others. So I tell you today it is never too late to become what you want to be. Seek the path of what you want to become. Put in all that you can, seek to be excellent at it and in the end, it would pay off.

Distractions abound. Distractions that make us do what others are doing. Until you are able to form a path for yourself, you would not be able to create that focus that defines who you are. Can you remember how many more people made an impact simply living through their day jobs only to survive? Remember, you can have a job but have a much greater dream. Not only to serve but to serve humanity with all that you have.

In the end, it matters that we follow excellence in all that we do and in the things that we do, we do things that show the true depth of who we really are. Do not try to be like someone else, everyone is already taken. So find yourself and be yourself, no matter how long it would take. The world awaits your greatness. Go out there and be great.

My dearest love and respect goes out to my friend who lost his mum today. May God forgive her and bless her with the highest level in the heavens. Thanks and God Bless.

Reflecting On The Lessons Of Eid El Adha
For a lot of people, the day of Eid serves as a day to celebrate, felicitate with family and friends, and enjoy the break from our everyday activities. However, when we reflect back on the essence of Eid, it indeed serves as a great lesson for us all beyond simply having to slaughter an animal or simply to wear new clothes.

The story of Eid started when Allah spoke to His prophet to slaughter his son. How many of us today can indeed be that submissive when the idea of slaughtering one’s own simply goes beyond every logic we have ever believed in? It simply makes no sense. But reflecting on the situation now, some of the things in our lives sometimes defy logic and in the end, we wonder how it could have been possible. To Allah, the slaughtering was not what He needs, God wants us to realize by our own selves how far we believe in Him.

And this same test comes to us every day that things we might not understand would happen, but the most important thing we can do is to have faith. Faith that something is happening that we might not understand but we believe that Allah is in control. For me, I realize that faith is a lot more about believing in God without having all the details. If a human tells you he can help you, you want to understand the details, but when Allah wants to help you, you do not need the details. All you need is to believe that Allah is superior to whatever notion we might give Him. He far supersedes our imagination and observation and as such, all we can do is to believe.

And when the Prophet of Allah believed, things he never expected happened. In his mind, he was going to slaughter his son and that was it. For Allah, it was way greater. It was a path for the Prophet of Allah to earn reward and leave a legacy that every believing human would follow until the day of judgment. How powerful. Allah is indeed the All-Wise.

So I speak to you today to believe that whatever might be looking bad in your life today might not be as bad as you think. Allah might be preparing a path for you. A path you might not yet understand and all you can do to enjoy the ride is to give in your best and keep believing that something, in the end, would click, and the path would become way clearer. Clearer than it ever was. So while on the path, never give in, never give up faith. Keep believing and know that what was meant for you would never pass you, and what is for you would reach you wherever you are.

I leave you with the Sallah message that you might not understand how things might turn out, but what you can do is to know that the controller of our affairs would never let you down. The path might look as if you are going down, but surely with time, it would lead you to a greater path. A path you never expected. And until then, keep your faith high, higher than your challenges and your situation. And believe that Allah would help you no matter how the situation looks. Stay with faith and stay Blessed. Thanks

Why Leadership Matters A Lot More
Many people believe that leadership is about leading people, however, I have realized that leadership is first about leading oneself rather than leading people and only when you can successfully lead yourself can you be able to lead others. The stories of great men come to mind and it would not have been possible for them to achieve great leadership if they were not first willing to lead themselves.

Take Mahatma Gandhi. He was willing and ready to lead himself in the path of denying himself food until what he wanted was realized. Think about that for a minute. While he was doing that, I strongly believe he was not considering that a way to lead people, but because he was able to lead and control himself well, others followed in his path. Leadership is more about people believing and following in your path rather than simply going the way you direct them to.

Beyond the story of Gandhi, the history of Mandela comes to mind. A man that was willing to sacrifice the prime years of his life is a man anyone would be willing to follow. As such, leadership is more about how you are leading yourself and your life rather than how you are leading other people. Until you are able to lead yourself from where you are to where you want to be, only then can people truly follow you and then you become a leader. It is important to realize that being the first does not necessarily make you a leader, what makes you more of a leader is the willingness to pursue something that not every individual can pursue.

Only when you are able to create a distinction between who you are and who you want to become then people would follow. I believe people look every day for guidance and people are searching for people who have gone out of their ways to make something important for themselves. And only those people are people willing to follow. Leadership is about people giving control to you not only because you command it, but because they realize that they can also become as important and as useful as you have become.

Anyone can give a command and people would obey, but only a few more can indeed deserve the command and people would follow without even giving the command. But it is important to realize that simply because we can lead ourselves, others would simply follow. No, it would take a while to happen. Sometimes, good things do not come early. Mandela did not realize it until after 27 years and Gandhi did not achieve it in a day.

The success, in the end, would be worthwhile all the pain I promise you, but you must realize that being a leader is more about believing without necessarily seeing it. So to everyone out there, before you seek for a leader, ensure that you are yourself leading yourself in the right path and the right way. Lead yourself right, seek good virtues, and be of importance to people. In the end, the lives we have touched are the most important impact we can ever make. So take your time today and lead well. Remember leadership begins with leading yourself right. Thanks and God Bless.

Have Faith And Keep Going
The path to the end does not sometimes seem clear from the beginning. Well, if it was clear from the beginning, everyone would not have to work a day in their lives. So it is important to realize that on the path to achieving greatness in life, the path does not have to seem clear, all we need is to have the faith and hope that everything, in the end, would connect, and we just have to keep going.

Disappointments would happen, but it is important to realize that to fully achieve what we want, we have to be ready to face and wrestle challenges so that in the end, we can indeed be worthy of the success. Failure is the battle you have to fight to be worthy of success. Remember that. So for any issues or challenges you are currently facing, assume you are in a match, and the end would only be when you win or when you give up. And we are not going to give up.

Changing from one thing to another while still focusing on the goal is not a bad idea. The most important thing is to have a common goal and need to move from one thing to another while still hoping to achieve your goal. So keep moving and pushing today, in the end, it would all make sense, but for now, you have to believe and keep going.

It Is A New Day
Today is another opportunity to right the wrongs of yesterday. Whatever wrong decisions you feel you might have made in the past, today is a new day to get started and fix that. You do not need to make all the perfect decisions, but one thing you can do is to learn from yesterday’s mistakes and be better for it today. Let not your yesterday wear away your today. Today is an entirely new gift and you can make great things with it.

We start a new day sometimes thinking of how badly we did yesterday and sometimes that keeps us in the state of yesterday not realizing that a new gift has been given to us. A gift to make today great, greater than yesterday. The most important thing you need to realize is that you can make an entirely new thing today that your yesterday was not able to create and make happen. Believe that and go make today much better than your yesterday.

I realize that no matter how we try, some days do not just go our way. It ends and we wish we did not make some of the decisions we made. But sometimes, we cannot do without making these mistakes. But mistakes should not limit us, it is okay for mistakes to define our yesterday, but never should mistakes take hold of your future. You have a new opportunity today to make things happen. How many more do not have the opportunity you have today to make happen what you want?

So never despair, accept yesterday and today is all that you have. Push forward, keep going, enjoy life and seek for the best as much as you can. The world needs it and together we can make it happen. Remember, your yesterday does not define you. It is how you handle today that most matters. Thanks and God Bless.

Start Living Today On Purpose
If the purpose of everything you do today centers around food, clothing, and shelter, then you have to start living because life is much more than that. For a lot of us reading this, we immediately tell ourselves that we are living not only for food, clothing, and shelter. But think carefully, what exactly are you living for? If you live for nothing, you die for nothing. It is important to take that discussion up with yourself and fully understand the reason why you do what you do.

Imagine carefully what happens today if you are not around. Perhaps, you are sick or something, how many things or people would be affected because you are not around? I mean how many people would feel the positive vibe and energy you give if you are not around? That is a very profound question I want you to take your time and think about. We exist every day, but do we truly live on purpose? Do we simply live to make ends meet, or simply to enjoy life as it comes?

Until your life seeks a higher purpose and a higher meaning, your life would have no impact even on yourself. You would simply be like a cog in a machine, that can simply be replaced when it is damaged, no impact whatsoever beyond just being that part of the machine. You need to begin to look at life not just as a day to make more money because in the end, with all the money, you would leave the money and depart. But what legacy or motivation would you leave for the world? We do not need to think too far into the future, seek to live life every day with purpose, a purpose way greater than simply food, clothing, shelter, and more money.

Whatever is at the center of your life is what your life would revolve around. You put a purposeful living at the center of your life and things would really be magical, and if any other items are the center of your life, things would fall along that way. I sometimes wonder how the animal in the forest is different from a human. The animal seeks food, sex, and shelter and some humans simply live the same way. How else can we have any impact if we continue this way? Many might ask if it is important to have an impact. I say to you the most important essence of us all is to have an impact. Not only on others but on ourselves, and until we are doing that, we are truly never living.

We are just existing. Time waits for no one and as such, we need to start now. Never do something simply because that is what others are doing. To be different simply means doing what others are not doing, especially the great things others are not doing. So it starts with me and you. Today.

Thanks and God Bless.

To Focus More, You Need To Focus On Less
Every time I search the internet, there is always one new course that might interest me and would be a good idea to join. Remember, I already enrolled in some other courses. Sometimes these courses are so interesting we drop the previous courses. And this same cycle continues and continues every day. We do not finish the previous courses, we pick new ones and the same fate happens to the new courses.

Looking back now, I realize that the world is indeed full of noise and one of the best ways to handle the noise is to pick something, complete it, then move onto something else. One of the most important things we all seem to easily lose these days is our focus. So many distractions and we are easily moved onto the next one. Keep your phone away for a day and realize how much time you spend on your phone.

Every single minute you are less busy, you get onto the internet. And that one minute becomes 5, and 5 becomes 10. And we do this quite enough that they begin to form a part of our habit. And the most annoying part of this is that we do not realize it. We ask ourselves and the answer is we cannot live without our phones. I have a question for you, Can your phone live without you? If the relationship is not both ways, then it seems to be what I learned in school called parasitism. If one gains from the other, but the other loses, then that is parasitism.

So consider yourself lucky to be in a generation where things are much easier than they used to be, but this has also brought some other issues that we need to be very aware of. We need to realize and understand that our focus is one of the most important things we need to keep and try as much as we can to maximize it. To maximize it, you need to put in the necessary effort and decisions to make that happen.

Keep your phone away when at work, and when you have a few minutes. Relax without taking your phone out. Do something different. What would you do to relax for a minute if you never had a phone? Begin to realize and search for those things, it pays. The more we focus, the more we can get things done in this world where there are distractions everywhere.

So think carefully today about some ways you can gain your focus back and imagine how much more you can do if you indeed focus. For those who have to work with their phones, it is a different situation, for others, we need to find ways to focus and reduce the distractions in the environment as much as we can. The focus is key, we need to guide and protect it. So today, focus on something and ensure that you maximize your time on it, reducing distractions as much as you can. Your future self would be proud of that.

Simply do less with more time. It would pay off more. You are more present in what you are doing, you give in your best, and once you are done, you move onto the next task knowing that the previous task was well executed.

Thanks and God Bless.
