Portable Is The New Hot

While I was still in secondary school (Hello BMJS fam!) , we had to memorize the book of Romans chapter 12 because it was like the school's official bible passage. I never actually got to know it completely, but I knew the first two verses, even at that, I never took it seriously. My point is that, this part of the bible is not new or strange to me, I've always been familiar with it. However last week, something took me to that part of the bible again, why? I cant really say, but as I began to study, I started to see that it was way deeper than we thought, no wonder they wanted us to know it by force! So for  today's post, I will be sharing 12 life  lessons from Romans 12. Stay with me... 1) Do Not Be Lazy : "Not slothful in business..." (Rom12:11a) Laziness will get you nowhere, you have no choice but to work and work hard. 2) Be Compassionate and Symphathetic: Kindness and Compassion will take you a long way. (Rom 12:15, 12:20) 3) Anything You...

So I know it's been very quiet in here, and no excuse can really justify that, this is why I am humbly coming to you guys to say I am sorry🙏 I actually got a freelance job that has been taking all my time, (you know I'm a freelance writer right? Please help your girl to broadcast) I was working on a tight schedule so I couldn't really do much on here. I hope I'm forgiven? It's been a while, how have you been? As the year is gradually coming to an end, how are those goals coming along? Great I hope. For today's #mondayinspiration post,  we will be looking at something very crucial to our success in life- personal development. Everyday we spend alive is another opportunity to work on ourselves and develop ourselves, and I'll be sharing some reasons why personal development is important. 1) It Makes You Open To Various Opportunities : Personal development takes you a step further and makes you a whole lot better. It means you are leaving your comfo...

In the past few days, my devotional has been talking about living a life of impact and a purposeful life. It went further to analyse some of those things that will hinder this development; things like fear. Fear is one thing that can conveniently destroy a person's life in a matter of seconds. I mean, yeah at some point in our lives, we all get scared of various things, death, failure, betrayal, etc. These fears will always be there, but how do you turn the situation from that point of vulnerability to a point of action? In today's post, we will be looking at some fears that we should not be distracted by. 1) Fear Of Not Succeeding : This fear is so crippling that we may even get carried away with the success of others, that we forget to focus and work on our own. We get almost obsessed with the pace of another person's success that it becomes a pressure on us. Don't let the fear of not succeeding distract you from the main goal- your success. 2) Fear of Th...

Welcome to a new week guys! Thank God for the past week, now it's time to crush some more goals starting from today! How was your weekend? Mine was amazing and I'm not even joking! All I can say is this God! 🙆🙌 Now let me ask you, what affirmations did you make this morning? What positivity did you speak into this week? What things did you remind yourself of? Oh, you didn't do any of these? You need to! During the weekend, in one of our devotions, my dad raised a question that struck me like literally, he asked "why is it that some youths won't be rich?" We all answered to the best of our abilities, but that question refused to leave me alone. It was then I realized that there are certain things we need to constantly remind ourselves of everyday that will then prompt us to action. Stay with me... 1) Remind Yourself That Laziness Is Not An Option : Laziness is the attribute of a sluggard and I'm pretty sure you're not one. Don't be id...

Missed me? I missed you too! So this past week, my siblings and I were down with malaria, yeah it wasn't pretty but, we're totally fine now, thanks for your  concern 😏😏 I actually did miss writing and that is why great content will be coming your way this week starting with today's #mondayinspiration! You're probably wondering why we're talking about anxiety today, I mean it's never that serious right? Oh, but it is. Being anxious starts from getting overly worried about the little things like what skirts or pants you should wear to work, or how you're going to get through the week without blowing it. At some point, things get very overwhelming and they begin to take their toll on us. How then can we at least limit our anxiety? 1) Challenge Your Negative Thoughts : I saw this somewhere; " negative thoughts leads to negative emotions which then leads to negative behaviours " and I couldn't agree more. For you to get rid of that cre...

Another day, Another opportunity! That was the quote I woke up with this morning and if you follow me on instagram, you'd see that I already shared it there. Everyday is a gift that God gives us to make the most of and that's exactly what we need to be doing. How was your weekend? Mine was toooo lit! I attended the blogger point's brunch yesterday and it was amazing, way more fun than last year (post on that later in the week!). For today's #mondayinspiration, I'll be sharing some quotes that I found on pinterest that will help you kickstart your day and make you have a productive week eventually. 1) Just Breathe : I mean, yeah it's something you do everyday as long as God gives you life, but sometimes you need to 'breathe' consciously before setting out to go about your day. Things can get really overwhelming some times, and it is at this point that you need to step back and take a breather then conquer the day! Just Breathe! 2) Find The...

Thank God it's Monday! Said nobody ever...or at least I haven't met that person yet. It's no news that mondays are just generally hated by almost everybody, I mean for me it's not about some lit weekend that I'm going to miss or the fun time I had, it's about the little sleep and rest I try to get that is now being snatched away from me the moment it just started! Can I get a witness? Okay so for today's post, I will be shating some very easy tips to minimize our different cases of the monday blues   as well as help us get through the week successfully! I know, I know, you're welcome. 😊 1) Get Your Weekly To-Do List : I mean, obviously because now well do you want to function throughout the week? Making a to-do list keeps your thoughts and activities in check and also organised. 2) Get Your Outfit For The Week Ready : This definitely helps! Sometimes, it even makes you excited for the week because when you know you're going to slay all ...

Long time no movie post! Yeah, I know, I've also missed it. The last time there was a movie post was sometime in January where we shared life lessons from 2 broke girls   , if you haven't read that post, you definitely should check it out! ' The internship ' is also one of my favourite movies of all time and I can't even count the number of times I've seen it. Last night I saw it again, and this time I wasn't just laughing, (yes it's very hilarious) but I was taking notes on some valuable lessons which I'll be sharing with you today. I hope your weekend was well spent? Mine was too short! 😝 Let's get to it... 1) Don't Let The Close of One Door Keep You From Opening Another : Sometimes, when life hands us lemons, we're so focused on the sour taste that we forget that we can make a lemonade drink out of it. Billy and Nick lost their job but didn't let that deter them from looking for another job with Google. They had no ...

Thank You, Thank You and Thank You! I am so grateful to all of you guys for your love and warm wishes that you showered on me yesterday, God bless you abundantly and may you be remembered for good. So yeah, birthday over, it's back to work! Today's #mondayinspiration post talks about very easy tips to staying organised. For quite a number of us, we end up with the case of monday blues  because we're simply not prepared for the new week. Now I'll be real with you, there's no automatic way to feel better about mondays especially, but I think there are ways to make it better and to end up with a productive week eventually. Staying organised is definitely one of those things. Stay with me... 1) Keep a Planner or Journal Handy : I have shared a post here talking about reasons why you need a planner  or a goal book. It makes you organise your thoughts because sometimes they get pretty overwhelming! Writing them down not only makes you remember, but helps you...

If there's anything I'm grateful for this year, it's knowing about the Youversion Bible app and the Common English Bible Version. You might be wondering why, well it's because one of my goals this year is to be closer to God on all levels, and the knowledge of these two has enhanced my spiritual growth a great deal. Funny thing is, I got to know about them through social media, so if you're still one of those that think social media is a bane to our existence, you better think again! If you're familiar with the Youversion app, then you'd know they're famous for their different bible plans that help you in your walk with God. "10 things to abandon for spiritual growth" is one of such plans. After completing this plan, I made up my mind to write a post on it and share it with you!  Don't worry I'm not about to go all pastor- mode on you guys, this is just to inspire and encourage you, because it's so relatable and helpful. H...

So I'm currently reading this book 'How to Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be' by Jack Canfield, and it's a real gem I must confess, by the time you're reading it, you will begin to realize how you much you still have left to do in order to live the life of your dreams. You guys already know I'm a nice person, that's why I've decided to share some lessons that I've learned so far. Also I'll be announcing the giveaway winners later in the post, so stick around! 😉 There are certain principles of success that we need to apply in our lives daily that will take us closer to dreams by the minute. Here goes... 1) Take 100% Responsibility For Your Life: I mean, it's yours afterall. There is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live and that person is you. For you to be successful in life, you have to take full responsibility for everything that you experience: be it your level of achievements, the ki...

Fufilling purpose in this journey of life is something that is extremely important to out existence and as such, we have to take it very seriously. A person without a purpose is merely existing without actually living because there is no drive, no zeal, no intent whatsoever, such person is just 'there'. Today's #mondayinspiration post brings to you what I call the 3P's of Purpose. During Sunday school sometime ago, we talked about it and it crossed my mind again so I thought to share with you guys! How was your weekend? Mine was Turnt! I attended a youth programme where we talked about creativity unleashed (story for another day) and it was amazing, I was so glad to be part of it. Let me also use this opportunity to say Ramadan Kareem to all my Muslim friends and readers 🎉🎉 May God answer all our prayers. Having said that, The 3P's of Purpose; 1) Potential : Everybody has one or more in-built abilities, talents, gifts, etc that we have been given. D...

If there's anything we humans know how to do very well, it is to give excuses. Excuses have become a huge part of our lives that even things that are of grave importance to our lives and careers, we downplay it and look for a way around it to make sure we delay it or don't do it at all. What we don't realize however is that, excuses have very lasting consequences and we must make a concious effort to desist from giving excuses and just get on with it! I hope your weekend was well spent? I think mine was😊 Today's #mondayinspiration post is one that tells you reasons why you need to stop giving excuses. Stay with me! 1) Excuses Will  Make You an Under-Achiever : Where risk takers are, one who gives excuses incessantly can never be found there. You begin to wonder why one person is wayyy ahead of you when you both started out together? It's because you keep giving excuses instead of acting out those great ideas that God has given you. Quit the Excuses and...

Every Individual is faced with different opportunities that help in shaping the champ in such person. What you do to get that champion running is what sets you apart from every one else. How was your weekend? Today's #mondayinspiration post is focusing on stringing to be great in wherever you find yourself. A mediocre life is not what we need to achieve that 'champion' level, we need to give it a little more to push us forward. I have put together ten (10) points that will get he champ in you running! Stay with me. 1) Know Your Worth : You need first understand that you're of great value, and that you deserve to be the best in everything you do. Don't look down on yourself, look for ways to boost your confidence and self esteem and get the ball rolling! 2) Take Charge : It's time for you to dominate and take charge. A mediocre person cannot take charge of anything, a person who procastinates cannot take charge as well, you need to break free from t...

As humans, we tend to exhibit certain behaviours to different situations in our lives. Just like we have the good and bad in life, we also have the positive and negative behavioural tendencies that people exhibit depending on the kind of situation they find themselves in. Positive behaviours are most times evident when things seem to be going on pretty well, but as soon as things take a tough turn, hopes are dashed and the negative aura takes over. In today's post we will be looking at some of those harmful behaviours that we need to let go of. Stay with me! How was your weekend? Mine was wonderful. Okay, let's move on... 1) Believing and Insisting That Life is Hard : There was a time in my life that I was always saying 'life is hard' sometimes as a joke though, but it slowly became something I got used to. One day I realized that this wasn't something to joke with at all, especially because where there's life, there's hope. I had to make a con...

Happy Easter Guys! I hope you enjoyed this little holiday? I for one did! As usual this is a #mondayinspiration post to gear you up for the rest of the week, since the holiday is already coming to end! The ' Smart Money Woman ' is one book that I had always wanted to lay my hands on since last year. If You remember correctly, it was on my Holiday wishlist  , and even though I didn't get it during Christmas, It came in during the new year which is just as awesome! You guys know how I have this lucky charm when it comes to giveaways, yeah that's how I got this book and I will forever be grateful to Rhoda of adorhspeaks  who blessed me with this gem. My Badass Flatlay Okay enough talk! I have quite a number of lessons I learned from this book, not just finiacially but even life lessons! In fact I think they're inexhaustible. I've already read the book twice and I know there are still some things I'm yet to discover. Regardless of whether you're...

Music is without a doubt a very powerful tool. From the lyrics to the beat, we all know how it can either lift our mood or dampen it. For this post, I have put together a playlist to help motivate you whenever you need that extra ' ginger ' to help you get productive, remind you that you're more than able to acheive all that you set your mind to, give you that needed confidence boost, and overall just to inspire you to go out there and be the best! 1) Rise Up - Andra Day This song was recommended to me by a friend and I have no regrets downloading it. The lyrics are so powerful! It talks about how sometimes we are tired, we lose hope and we break down, it also explains that we need to rise above all that and take charge! 2) Rich- MI ft Koker I love this song because it's more like an affirmation/mantra for me. It talks about how doors will open for us, and whatever we might be facing right now is temporary and will soon be history because we will all be ...
