Older you!

 The older you get the more accountability is demanded from, not just from people but from yourself too.

Life is way much easier in high school or as a teenager, but it doesn't always stay that way. Once you've pasted that stage, their are lots of expectation from you, people expect a lot from you and you expect a lot from yourself too. Well it not the same for everybody, a lot of persons are forced to be adult even before they are ready. But we're not always ready, are we?

Adulthood does not come with expectations alone, it comes with lessons, laughter, high demand, yes and no's, success, failures, pain, ambitions, dreams and many more. Not just that, with growth come a lot of increase in standards, and heights you want to attain for yourself, goals you want to achieve and reward you want to give yourself. How well you prepare yourself determine how far you would go.

So in all you do time is of essence, "Any time lost cannot be saved" even the bible urged us in Eph. 5:15-16 to make best use of our time, and in Eccl. 3 we were told that there's time for everything. Make your time very precious and valuable, invest your time on God, Yourself and The things that add value to your life, cause in all "the end justifies the mean". How well you use your time guarantees the result you would birth.

Lastly there're lot of pressures that comes with this expectations, don't beat yourself up if you're not at where you want to be yet. Don't let the success stories of other weigh you down, cause you don't know what it was like for them few years back. Instead let their testimonies be a driving force for you, effort and time were sacrificed for them to be at the top, so if you putting in the work be rest assured that there would be a result. A workman is worthy of his wages.

Stop Chasing People Who Don't Choose You

There is a quiet kind of pain that comes from trying to stay in places where you are not truly wanted.  It is the pain of over-explaining yourself just to be understood. The pain of trying harder than everyone else just to be noticed. The pain of loving someone who never really chose you in the first place. Many of us have been there. We convince ourselves that if we try a little harder, love a little deeper, or show a little more patience, things will eventually change. We believe that someday the person will finally realize our worth. But the truth is far more difficult to accept. You cannot convince someone to value what they have already decided to overlook. When someone sees you as an option rather than a priority, no amount of effort from you can change that. And the longer you stay in that situation, the more it begins to affect your self-worth. Slowly, you start shrinking yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant for you. You begin to tolerate the bare minimum...

Things Won’t Get Cheaper — You Have to Get Richer

If we are being honest to ourselves, we would see that prices aren’t getting cheaper or going down anytime soon. From food items to house rent to children upkeep to fuel, the cost of living and so on, It's so surreal that these things are on a steady incline. And it’s easy to feel surprised by this new development, but here’s a heavy truth we need to embrace: “Things won’t get cheaper. You have to find a way to get richer.” You can complain about the cost of living — or you can level up. "Choose your medicine".  This isn’t about being selfish, it’s about surviving, having financial stability, and freedom.  The world we live in today is changing so fast, and the best thing to do for ourselves and family is to stop complaining and get used to it. And this means you: * Increasing your earning potential — earning more from what you do.  * Diversifying your income — building extra streams of income.  * And leveling up your skills  — learning sk...

Busy Isn’t the Problem — Priority Is

W e’ve all heard it before: “I’ve just been really busy.” And sometimes, that’s true. Life happens. Work piles up. Energy runs low. But the truth many people avoid is this — busy is rarely the real problem. The real problem is priority. People don’t forget to reply to those they truly respect. They may delay, but they don’t disappear. They don’t leave conversations hanging indefinitely. They don’t make you feel like asking for their time is asking for too much. At some point, silence stops being accidental and starts becoming intentional. We all choose where our energy goes. Every single day. We choose what to respond to, what to show up for, what to make time for, and what to postpone. When someone consistently has time for everything else but you, that’s not a scheduling issue — that’s a decision. One of the most dangerous things we can do to ourselves is getting used to people's inconsistency. We start normalizing slow replies, broken promises, and half-effort communication. ...
