One of the clearest ideas I invite you to explore is to take other people off pedestals and reclaim your own confidence and boldness.
You should become less willing to treat someone’s status as proof that their judgment matters more than yours.
That is a meaningful mental shift I am proposing to you right now.
There is a difference between respecting someone’s experience and needing their permission to regard yourself as capable. Your thinking should increasingly focus on the former.
The important distinction is not “I am better than these people.” It is: “These people are human, and I am allowed to participate.”

In the last 6 years, no one has yelled at me at work, not even by mistake. I also haven't experienced anyone being yelled at, no matter how serious the matter is.
So, now when fine professionals describe the horrible things they go through at work, it breaks my heart.
If you yell at your staff, you are a dangerous being. You need deliverance, and you need to be checked.
You are not only killing staff members’ confidence, but you are also creating trauma for them.
Grow up!!!!!!!!!

Today is one of those days when I am completely lacking in grace from within but I had to sit in calls across those who needed me to lift them and I had to borrow from not much to fill them up.
Yes, sometimes, you can give from an empty jar.
And maybe that's because you are the jar and you are never really empty.
I don't know the answer.

Read these out loud with me:
I am the standard. Every room I walk into is elevated by my presence, and every voice I bring to the table reshapes the conversation.
I do not chase influence. I am influence, and today it moves through me effortlessly.
I am no longer waiting for permission to lead. My name is spoken in rooms I have not yet entered, and doors open before I knock, because the work I’ve built has already gone ahead of me.
Money flows to me from expected and unexpected sources, today and every day. I am a magnet for wealth, and every idea I create, every solution, every offer turns into money that sustains and multiplies.
I release every ceiling I have ever placed on my own worth. What I earn, and what I receive now matches the depth of transformation I bring to others.
There is enough! Enough time, enough clients, enough opportunities, enough love for everyone I know and for me too. My abundance does not shrink because someone else is thriving; it multiplies because I refuse scarcity in my world.
Everything I touch today turns to growth. My income grows. My peace grows. I am in a season where multiplication is my baseline, not my exception.
I trust the person I have become. I do not shrink to make others comfortable, and I do not perform smallness to be liked. I speak with the certainty of someone who has already won, because I have.
Rejection, silence, and slow days do not define my value. My confidence is not rented from other people’s opinions; it is owned, permanent, and mine.
Joy is not something I am chasing at the end of success; it is the fuel I bring into today. I choose peace over pressure, and I let lightness live in my body even while I build something great.
I am exactly where I am meant to be, becoming exactly who I am meant to become. Today, I move as a person who is whole, wealthy, wanted, and deeply, permanently at peace with her own unfolding.
Go and be fantastic today.
For how long do you think a child should keep trying to walk before stopping?
This post isn't really about a walking child, but about the growing YOU!😍

Replying to @DeborahDam20
One question I regularly ask myself is, what will I be remembered for?
God, I don't want to leave this world without making an impact (a positive impact please)
This is a very good example of value. He is no longer here, but his works have become life to many souls.
Jim Rohn is that virtual mentor you can always start with.

A kind person isn’t necessarily a caring person.
Kindness makes you feel helped; care makes you feel held.
Read that again.

God is scary!!!!!!
What He did to Moses 🤯🤯
A nobody - made him deliver a whole nation.
Moses became important. God’s face to His people.
And when Moses struck Him instead of speaking to the rock as instructed (an overlookable non-material mistake), He told him to look at the promised land, but he would not get there 😭
God is the rock 🔥
He struck God twice 😩
As in, God told him to climb Mount Pisgah so he could have a great view of everything he has worked hard for all his life and then said he would not get there 😢
Moses tried to appeal - God told him ‘this is the last you should talk about this matter’ Haaaaaaaaa
It's gone.
God then told him, prepare your replacement - JOSHUA.

A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

Applied at 3 AM.
Rejected by 8:19 AM.
No human read that application.
She wrote back and asked for a real person to review it.
Most people would not have.

A 4.99 CGPA out of 5.00 at a Nigerian university.
People outside do not understand what that means. Power cuts during exams. Lecturers who mark you down for asking questions. Libraries that close when you need them most. Textbooks that cost a semester's feeding money.
To get a first class anywhere takes discipline. To get a first class under those conditions takes something else.
Celebrate this. Not because the number is perfect. Because the environment was not, and she still did it.

In the truest sense of it, money is not the end in itself. It is a means to an end, a defence mechanism, and a system that gives you options if you ever need them.
Marriage is beautiful, but within it, you will experience storms that can unearth and expose behaviours in you and your partner that will leave you both in awe.
At the point when you are getting married, all you know is the person in front of you right there, not necessarily who they will become under the deep, deep pressures of life, like job loss, delays with having kids if you both want them, loss of loved ones, etc.
So, to the best of your ability, everyone in the union must think daily about what they must do to make themselves and their partners comfortable and make life easier.
I also genuinely believe in the phrase: ‘Anyone who feeds you can starve you’. So, it is highly recommended that both parties, especially in these tough economic realities, have something that brings them money.
And for ladies, money gives you some peace of mind; it also gives you a say in important decisions, like the schools your kids will attend and the kind of house you want to live in, etc.
So, I recommend financial safety for women before getting married.

All the Twitter warriors that have "decamped" from supporting Obi communicated this same thought process on their exit speech.
It speaks so much about our value system as a people.
Imagine me expecting Peter Obi to send me a "thank you" DM because I want a functioning country.
