CATALYST OF THE WEEK (RECAP OF THE MONTH)

Life was never designed to have all fingers equal, but all fingers have the right to be important and valued.

We all grew up to know that the sky is large enough for everyone to soar which actually sounds true but logically seem to be an illusion.

Take for instance a nation can only have one president per time, an organization can only have one GMD at a time and so forth. So please tell me how come this big sky is only accommodating one person at a time if we all can be up there???

I know some logical people will be supporting that question right now but could it be that we have not been looking at things from the right direction??

We can't all be the pilot but we can all be in the plane flying so high if only we will stop trying to be the pilot and be the best of us that we were designed to be. The little finger is not less important than the middle finger. They are both important in their own way but they can never be equal in size.

Perhaps I think it's time you stop fighting for equality and start striving at bringing out uniqueness.

There's something unique about you that equality will only succeed in covering. Don't let that happen.

Happy New Week!!!

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

It's ok to start small, as long as you don't stop growing.

My generation is a funny one, I don't know if yours can relate with it. My generation believes in making it quick and they wouldn't mind cutting every process short either in righteousness or unrighteousness as long as it makes them get to where they envisaged faster.

Coming to think about it, you will agree with me that it is not abnormal to suddenly breakforth and breakthrough, particularly because we may not have known what or which processes have been going on in the past. But we must generally recognize that life is a process. Hence the need to grow and follow process.

Appreciate greatness but give growth it's due course. Rome we often say was not built in a day. Don't be ashamed to start small especially when that is your only option. Process is a language that only becomes clearer with time. It may seem like jagon initially but it will eventually make sense.

So, please pick something from all the fables I have written for the week and take that step you need to now.

Happy New Week 🎉

Keep staying Safe!!!

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

If staying safe is save stay there, otherwise take the step that will get you into safety.

Of late I have been ending the weekly catalyst with keep staying safe and some how this question popped up in my head," How safe is staying safe?"

Please for clarity I am not in anyway referring to staying safe from Covid 19 right now. So on that please stay safe.

Now back to the crust of my message, so many of us have stayed so long in the comfort zone of danger with the wrong ideology of staying safe. We won't invest because it's too risky, some won't start a family because they feel it's too risky for their current level, some can't afford to take the step that will open up their destinies because of the fear of failure and rejection and so forth.

Look, again I am saying, if staying safe is save stay there otherwise, you better take that step that will get you into the safety of fulfilment.

I dare you this week to take that step you have kept procrastinating.

May be the write up is not clear enough, just answer the question how safe is staying safe?

Happy New Week 🎉

Keep staying safe from Covid-19

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

The beauty of life is in satisfaction and fulfilment and not just in more.

First things first, I never said wanting more like Oliver twist is bad. As a matter of fact, growth often times comes with more.However, when more becomes the focus instead of fulfilment and genuine satisfaction then something is gradually getting misplaced.

Enough of the parables, grow, work at becoming successful, productive and exceptional but please, don't do it at the expense of fulfilment.

Life has been like a blink of an eye but it's becoming more evident especially in this times. As such I think it is wiser to spend this long short life on things that brings true joy and happiness, peace and fulfilment instead of pursuing shadows that only ends up creating more emptiness.

Value realationships, become more serious with family and love and most importantly get closer to your maker.

Happy New Week!!!

Keep Staying Safe.

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 🎉 🎉!!!
