You cannot expect other people to root for you before you root for you. People believe in people who believe in themselves. And the best way to look like you believe in yourself is to not need anyone to give you permission to do whatever the fuck you came here to do.
There's a growing number of graduates who gets jobs and then resign immediately when they're posted far away from the capital city!!! Wait when they hit 30!
Some marriages survive because two people keep growing, not because one person keeps shrinking. Don't abandon your calling to become someone's permanent emotional attachment. You're a person, not a phone charger.
Marriage is a partnership, not a merger where your personality gets liquidated. Don't become so busy being someone's husband or wife that you forget who you were.
Sometimes, those with the least are the first to help. Not because they have more, but because they know what it feels like to struggle. Hard times teach compassion.
A peaceful life can start to feel boring when you're used to chaos. But there's nothing boring about being safe, having a sound mind, and not spending every day bracing yourself for something to go wrong. That itself is a blessing.
A prayer for anyone breaking generational or personal cycles: May you have the strength to choose differently, even when the old ways feel familiar. May you find support and wisdom, and remember that progress never requires perfection.
Today I just want to say thank you God for the gift of life. No complaints, no requests needed..., just grateful to be alive. Thank you for your protection and waking us up.
I want more women to experience the freedom of saying, ‘I’ve always wanted to do this’ and then actually making it happen. Not because someone offered to pay, but because they worked toward it themselves. That quiet pride hits different.
Everything is hard. Nothing works the first time. It all feels pointless. That’s when you realize you’re going to have to will it into existence with every ounce of your fucking soul. And that’s when it starts to happen.
Sometimes, stop being afraid of things falling apart. Some of you have seen what happens after the worst of it. The sun still rises, people still laugh, and new things begin. One day, you'll be happy about something you once thought you'd never recover from.
Good morning, great people 🌞! There’s nothing as painful as poverty. We left home to fight this monster, so don’t give up on what you’re doing. Keep pushing, keep believing, and keep working hard. Better days are ahead! 💪
One thing I'm learning is that privacy brings a certain kind of peace. You can work on yourself, make plans, change your life and enjoy your progress without inviting everybody to have an opinion on it.
Stop letting the fear of failure make decisions for you. Apply for the job. Start the business. Learn the skill. Have the conversation. You can survive things not working out. What hurts more is never finding out what was possible.
If you knew how difficult and how long it took some people to recover their peace of mind and happiness, you’d understand why they shut every door to potential negativity and why they can be so selective about who they allow into their lives.
