A trial at being consistent.
Happy New Month!! So this is my second week of ‘writing and publishing blog posts weekly’ on the blog. And it’s not going as easily as I thought. Lol. This past week was really busy for me and the weekend, busier. I had to juggle so much but thankfully I bodied most of my tasks. I am also learning to make my to-do lists daily and prioritise better. On some days, this will mean less sleep and I am trying to come to terms with that. Among the many things I had to do this week was signing up at a gym. It’s something I have wanted to do for…

On moving ahead with uncertainty
‘The need for certainty is the greatest disease the mind faces.’ – Robert Greene Sometime last week, I saw the above statement in a tweet posted by Ryan Holiday on my Twitter TL. PS: I saw the tweet while laying on the beachside of Miami, not from anywhere within Nigeria. There is still a Twitter ban in the country, even though FG says they didn’t stop Nigerians from accessing Twitter. Back to today’s post. The tweet, for some reason, resonated with me and I took a screenshot of it to view at a later time. I took another look at it just before I started writing this. Personally, I love…

What one word stands out from your year so far?
Humility. That’s the one word that stands out from my 2021 so far. The word has been on my mind for the past few weeks. I am not completely sure where it came from, probably from one of my many introspections but when it came it just made perfect sense. Humility. So this year hasn’t gone the way I planned in any way and sometime in March, I subconsciously cancelled the whole year (I know this is not a great outlook to have, but…). Since then, I can say I have just been coasting. I want to say I have been on auto-pilot but that’s not entirely true. I have…

What happens when you miss an opportunity you really wanted?
About a week ago, I had the opportunity to be among the 2020 cohort of the Young Professionals Bootcamp (YPB) organized by the Covenant Christian Centre. As at the time I got the acceptance mail, I wasn’t particularly elated. My 2020 YPB application was my 4th time applying for the training program and somehow along the way I had lost my excitement. I almost didn’t apply this year until a friend of mine reached out to me about it. I ended up applying a day before the application closed and I am glad I went through with it. I’ll be sharing my experience and lessons from the 4-day Bootcamp but first…

On rejections, global competitions and new experiences.
Writing this post has been on my mind for a while now, but I was unsure how to write it. I didn’t want it to come across as a sad post or one of self-pity. Different portions of what I would write have drifted in my subconscious for weeks and I decided to just put all of it on paper (even though this isn’t exactly ‘paper’). I spent most of Q4Y2020 searching out opportunities and working on my applications. To be honest, when I started, it was only a casual affair. I really just wanted to cruise through the process. But the more time I spent, the more invested I…
