Setting Realistic Goals (on personal development)

Welcome everyone! I’m guessing we all are happy it's month end already because I am, even if I’m not getting paid (yet). Today’s post is to share my very recent realization about goal setting and how you can manage to set important and realistic goals! I pray you’re able to grasp this message and also apply lessons learnt. On a fine day, I was going about random activities when I got a very clear understanding of how one should go about goals and achievements. This is some serious realization because I haven’t been the type of person that writes a list and plan strategically. The young me had some personal goals to achieve at a certain time in my life, but I never really went further to put two on two like most people claim they do. I take life these days as it comes because until now, my plans NEVER go as planned. Most of you can relate with this. I usually get a portion of scripture that speaks in a high volume to me at difficult times and the most recent is: stand STILL and know...

What should a Christain talk about? (Matters of the heart)

Do you think there are some restricted topics a believer cannot talk about? Or even think about? This question plagued my heart last week after I had discussed some nerve racking thoughts that left me stressed. I'm a female in my late 20s so you could just try to wrap your mind around possible topics that conversation was about. Before I go on to give you a long speech on what should be talked about, it is important to first note that this topic cuts only across issues of the heart. Swearing, dirty talks and cursing are not part of it. Somehow, I have been on both sides of the fence (the flesh seeking side, and the spirit seeking side--who still wrestle with the flesh, but we good! Lol), and I can pretty much relate. There are thoughts that we just find ourselves thinking about, as a result of recent happenings, actions and decisions to be made. Everyone experiences this. Just to establish that the flesh seeking side craves everything that counters the faith, from thoughts to actio...

On Self-Realization II (Reflections)

Reflection (noun): serious thought or consideration To propely reflect, you need to change position, for instance, when you stare at the mirror, you no longer see your inward self. This time you see YOU. I've always been baffled at how God created you to only be fully aware of your inward counterpart (emotions, feelings, intelligence, pain, and every other thing that pertains to that realm. The real YOU) and not the outside, apart from the places your eyes can see, you're not really aware. Thank God for mirrors. We change position so we can see ourselves from a different perspective. From not being the doer, but the evaluator. Now you can say we reflect to evaluate our lives. This time, not to measure growth by standards our fellow inhabitants of this earth have set, then go ahead to dish out accolades to ourselves accordingly based on qualifying performance. I saw a post on Instagram about someone who tried to commit suicide, and when I went further to snoop through the c...

Walking in purpose II (For the ninety-nine, or The One?)

Well, which is more important? When I first heard this scripture parable... I thought to myself "so what will happen to the ninety-nine, what if they all wander away? Could it be that the shepherd loved that one more?" Trust me to already attach a sense of self to the lost sheep, I want to be the one He loves enough to leave the ninety-nine for! This isn't right though, just stick with me here. I started the " walking in purpose " series letting you know that, everything that has happened, and still is happening to you right now is all part of the big plan, read it  here . This week, I had an experience and it would be fair to share, but I'd give you a backstory first. Back in 2018, I started my blog officially. Opened an Instagram account and was very deliberate about it. I grew to a thousand genuine followers in a couple of months and that was so cool. After some good time, I began to chase my ninety-nine. How? For every blog post I put up, and every ...
