CATALYST OF THE WEEK

It doesn't have to initially make sense to eventually make sense.

Hello! It feels good to be back. I went on a one month recess and I am back.

In the face of the so many things happening in our world today like the Covid 19 pandemic, we must deliberately decide not to allow events determine our destiny. So many things may not be adding up right now and there is a tendency to have our thoughts go haywire. However you must always remember that things are not always as they seem.

Golds are not initially beautiful and adorable but they eventually become beautiful and admirable after some heat processes.

I am sure of one thing, the world isn't ending yet so keep staying safe and keep believing the evolution of a better tomorrow.

Happy new week 🎉

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

Ñot all the challenges that comes your way are designed to break you,some are configured to make you!

I recently had an experience amongst so many others that prompted this quote. It was horrible and terrifying yet i knew it was nothing compared to what someone out there may be facing and battling.

I literarily felt the psychological trauma that comes with challenge, I had lost my physical strength so much that I had to struggle to get up my bed. It was in this dilemma that I got this quote and I know that it may not be for everyone but it is for you!

Don't let that challenge steal your joy and kill your hope of a coming destiny.

it should shapen, build capacity in you and altimately bring out the best you. I know it is not as easy as it sounds but it's as potent as described.

So what should you do? Have Faith even when they is no glimpse of hope and trust that it will all turn out for your good.

Just keep remembering that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Wishing you a more than conqueror week 🎉🎉

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

Your value is not defined by what people think or say about you; it is defined by what you know and do with what you know about you.

Everyday we come in contact with with people and situations that tries to define us as people and as a person. Unfortunately many people get to be wrongly mapped or defined by this externallies. Just for clarity sake, you are not who they say, you're not what that challenge makes you look like, you're not a failure.

You're unique you're powerful you're possible and and you're a wonder.

So it's time to start being you. Shake off those negative comments and situations and start shinning as the Phoenix that you are.

Happy New Week 🎉 🎉!!!

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

A vital key to success in life is to remember that your today is a part of your story and not your story!

Ok, no mixed reactions needed right now, just read up!

I have been writing for quite a while and each time I write, I see words add up to make a story. I have also discovered that no single word on its own makes a story and not even the word "story". I have had to replace words overtime just to pass my message clearly and that didn't stop the words replaced from existing.

Life is like a structure made up of different blocks called days, moments experiences and what have you. I believe you will agree with me that it we be so illogical to call a piece of block the structure. In the same manner you must know that it will be outrightly illogical to define your life or your story by the happenings of the moment.

Yesterday and today may not have been what you wanted but they are still existing just like the words i replace while writing and it's fine. Just do well to remember that there is still tomorrow and today is not the end of you.

Take a deep breath, smile and move on. Your story is not over yet and it must end well.

Happy New Week 🎉 🎉

Happy New year!!!

It was about 10 years ago when I started hearing of vision 2020. It sounded like the last card to greatness. Full of all the possibilities and hope the world has been craving for, it was the dream year for my little mind and I think it still is depending on you and me.
News flash, 2020 started few hours ago. The weird truth is that not many people will actually get to experience what they pictured 2020 to be, why? I don’t know. I just know that there is more to life than what we can see, however the year is loaded, full of many possibilities and uncertainties.
I am not ready to bore you with a long write up on this first day of the year, I will just share few thoughts that I think are vital if we must see 2020 become that year we dreamt it to be.
1. Start now. Don't wait till next month to start doing those things you planned for, stop procrastinating and start taking the steps now. If you can start tomorrow then you can start today.
2. Not all closed doors are locked. Some just require a little push and it will be wide open for you to access so never give up as you go through the year.
3. You don't have to please everybody just do what is right. Let go of your past mistakes and create a better tomorrow with every today you see.
4. Value humanity and as much as much as it's within your power be a blessing to humanity
5. Finally don't take God for granted. Life is valueless without him. As a matter of fact, a meaningful life is all about him.
Welcome to the dream year,
Welcome to 2020!
Happy New year!!!
