CATALYST OF THE WEEK

"It is not a taboo to desire and want more from life."

A lot of people have conclusively given up on the expectation of the good and bright future they envisaged, possibly because of the experiences they have had over the years. Some do this convincing themselves with statements like “Perhaps that’s how life is.” My dear that’s not how life is. You don’t have to remain there, you don’t have to keep bearing that abusive relationship afterall it’s not yet a marriage relationship. You don’t have to keep bearing it if it’s not bringing out the beauty.

You must decide to be deliberate with your joy and happiness. Don’t leave it to chances, it is your right and you deserve it just like any other person.

Shake off everything that is out to steal and still your happiness and joy. Beat your past, possess your today and become optimistic about your future.

Happy New Week🎉🎉🗺️🌋

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

“Take the simple steps you should, now! procrastination is hazardous to your future in full.”

Many times in Life we suffer some bad experiences and situations that we could have probably avoided or minimised if we had taken the little little steps that was expected of us when we should.

Perhaps you could have been much healthier if you had learnt to take your health serious. Perhaps you would have been richer than you are now if you had done the required when that little investment idea popped up in your mind few years ago. Who knows, you would have been married by now if you didn’t judge that lady or that guy by their then present situation. And a whole lot of simple things we could have done earlier.

Always remember that today is still yesterday’s future and tomorrow’s past. So you can start taking those simple steps now against tomorrow.

God loves you so much that he has trusted you with the vital role of decision making, don’t abuse it.

Make each day count for your destiny! Please be conscious of the fact that other destinies will find expression through your destiny in the future called tomorrow. Be guided!!!

Happy New Week!!!

CATALYST OF THE WEEK

Every situation is an opportunity; Take your eyes off the immediate and see the bridges and roads hidden in that situation.

A very popular Christian hymn  "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL" that has blessed so many people across generations today, came from a very trying time of lost and agony. The legendary law of gravity was born out of a situation that most people would have considered absolutely normal and seemingly usual;”A FALLING APPLE”. These and many more situations have birthed great stories yet, our generation has decided to settle and commonize everything.

That situation you are in right now can birth a story that will transform so many lives. That your challenge could produce something that will bring solace to so many generations if only you will look beyond the normal.

To tell you the truth, I wrote this article on a resting bed and I know it will ignite something special in someone even if it’s not you.

There is something in that your situation and challenge, dare to bring it out and bless lives.

Happy New Week 🎉

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 🎉

#IDEALYOUTH2020

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!!!
